Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and October 31, ~~2024~~2025 and results of operations as of and for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025 have been included. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain ~~information and~~ footnote ~~disclosures~~disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of October 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but it does not include all of the information ~~and~~was ~~footnotes~~reclassified ~~required~~to byconform ~~GAAP~~to ~~for~~current ~~complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal~~ year ~~ended October 31, 2024, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC~~presentation. ~~The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.~~

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and operations and those of our subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. We use a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for each of our variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which are tax equity partnerships further described in Note 3. “Tax Equity Financings.” This approach focuses on determining whether we have the power to direct those activities of the tax equity partnerships that most significantly affect their economic performance and whether we have the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the tax equity partnerships. For all periods presented, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary in all of our tax equity partnerships. We evaluate our tax equity partnerships on an ongoing basis to ensure that we continue to be the primary beneficiary.

partnerships that most significantly affect their economic performance and whether we have the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the tax equity partnerships. For all periods presented, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary in all of our tax equity partnerships. We evaluate our tax equity partnerships on an ongoing basis to ensure that we continue to be the primary beneficiary.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, revenue recognition, lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, loss accruals on service agreements, excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventories, product warranty accruals, ~~loss accruals on service agreements,~~ share-based compensation expense, allowance for credit losses, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill and in-process research and development intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets (including project assets), valuation of derivatives, and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from those estimates.

Liquidity

Our principal sources of cash have been proceeds from the sale of our products and projects, electricity generation revenues, research and development and service agreements with third parties, sales of our common stock through public equity offerings, and proceeds from debt, project financing and tax monetization transactions. We have utilized this cash to accelerate the commercialization of our solid oxide platforms, develop new capabilities to separate and capture carbon, develop and construct project assets, invest in capital improvements and expansion of our operations, perform research and development, pay down existing outstanding indebtedness, and meet our other cash and liquidity needs.

As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $~~174~~311.78 million compared to $~~148~~278.1 million as of October 31, ~~2024. During the year ended October 31, 2024 and the nine months ended July 31,~~ 2025~~, the Company invested in United States (U~~.~~S.)~~ ~~Treasury~~There ~~Securities.~~were ~~The~~no ~~amortized~~outstanding ~~cost of the~~ U.S. Treasury Securities ~~outstanding totaled $109.1 million~~ as of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2024~~2026 ~~and~~or ~~were~~October ~~classified as Investments - short-term on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no outstanding U.S. Treasury Securities as of July~~ 31, 2025, as all U.S. Treasury Securities that were outstanding during the ~~nine~~three month period ended ~~July~~January 31, 2025 matured prior to ~~July~~October 31, 2025.

During the first ~~nine~~quarter ~~months~~ of fiscal year ~~2025~~2026, the Company received the ~~second~~third and final annual funding from East West Bancorp, Inc. (“East West Bank”) under the tax equity financing transaction between the Company and East West Bank and, as a result, the Company received a $4.0 million contribution ~~during the nine months ended July 31, 2025~~ which is recorded as noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On April 10, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Open Market Sale Agreement, dated July 12, 2022 (as amended, the “~~2022~~ Sales Agreement”), with Jefferies LLC, B.

On December 27, 2024, the Company filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274971) (the “Registration Statement”), each including a base prospectus covering the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to $405,000,000 of common stock, warrants and units (or any combination thereof) from time to time in one or more offerings and a prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale by the Company from time to time of up to $204,922,876.65 of the Company’s common stock, which was the amount remaining under the Amended Sales Agreement as of December 27, 2024. On March 5, 2025, the Company filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement to update certain information, to provide an updated consent of its independent registered public accounting firm, and to provide an update about the amount of shares then remaining available for offer and sale by the Company under the Amended Sales Agreement. The Registration Statement, as amended by the Post-Effective Amendments, was declared effective by the SEC on March 10, 2025. In the event that the Amended Sales Agreement is terminated, any portion of the aggregate amount of shares of common stock included in the prospectus supplement that is not sold pursuant to the Amended Sales Agreement will be available for sale in other offerings pursuant to the base prospectus and a corresponding prospectus supplement.

In addition, the Company has a universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-286842) that was declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2025. Under this universal shelf Registration Statement, the Company may offer and sell from time to time in one or more offerings up to $200,000,000 in the aggregate of (1) shares of the Company’s common stock; (2) shares of the Company’s preferred stock; (3) debt securities; (4) warrants exercisable for common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, units, or other securities of the Company; and (5) units consisting of one or more shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, debt securities, and/or warrants.

We believe that our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, expected receipts from our contracted backlog and release of short-term restricted cash less expected disbursements over the next twelve months will be sufficient to allow the Company to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

To date, we have not achieved profitable operations or sustained positive cash flow from operations. The Company’s future liquidity, for the remainder of fiscal year ~~2025~~2026 and in the long-term, will depend on its ability to (i) timely complete current projects in process within budget, (ii) increase cash flows from its generation operating portfolio, including by meeting conditions required to timely commence operation of new projects, operating its generation operating portfolio in compliance with minimum performance guarantees and operating its generation operating portfolio in accordance with revenue expectations, (iii) obtain financing for project construction and manufacturing expansion, (iv) obtain permanent financing for its projects once constructed, (v) increase order and contract volumes, which would lead to additional product sales, service agreements and generation revenues, (vi) obtain funding for and receive payment for research and development under current and future Advanced Technologies contracts, (vii) successfully advance the commercialization of its solid oxide and carbon capture platforms through partnerships with third parties, (viii) implement capacity expansion for our carbonate products when required, (ix) seek partnerships for solid oxide product commercialization and manufacturing, (x) implement the product cost reductions necessary to achieve profitable operations, (xi) manage working capital and the Company’s unrestricted cash balance and (xii) access the capital markets to raise funds through the sale of debt and equity securities, convertible notes, and other equity-linked instruments.

We are continually assessing different means by which to accelerate the Company’s growth, enter new markets, commercialize new products, and enable capacity expansion. Therefore, from time to time, the Company may consider and enter into agreements for one or more of the following: negotiated financial transactions, minority investments, collaborative ventures, technology sharing, transfer or other technology license arrangements, joint ventures, partnerships, acquisitions or other business transactions for the purpose(s) of geographic or manufacturing expansion and/or new product or technology development and commercialization, including hydrogen production through our carbonate and solid oxide platforms and storage and carbon capture, sequestration and utilization technologies.

Our business model requires substantial outside financing arrangements and satisfaction of the conditions of such arrangements to construct and deploy our projects to facilitate the growth of our business. The Company has invested capital raised from sales of its common stock to build out its project portfolio. The Company has also utilized and expects to continue to utilize a combination of long-term debt and tax equity financing (e.g., sale-leaseback transactions, partnership flip transactions and the monetization and/or transfer of eligible investment and production tax credits) to finance its project asset portfolio as these projects commence commercial operations. The Company may also seek to undertake private placements of debt securities to finance its project asset portfolio. The Company is also pursuing financing to support its commercial efforts, which include deployment of modules to the repowering opportunities in the South Korean market including the GGE (as defined elsewhere herein) project. The proceeds of any such financing, if obtained, may allow the Company to reinvest capital back into the business and to fund other projects. We also expect to seek additional financing in both the debt and equity markets in the future. If financing is not available to us on acceptable terms if and when needed, or on terms acceptable to us or our lenders, if we do not satisfy the conditions of our financing arrangements, if we spend more than the financing approved for projects, if project costs exceed an amount that the Company can finance, or if we do not generate sufficient revenues or obtain capital sufficient for our corporate needs, we may be required to further reduce or slow planned spending, further reduce staffing, sell assets, seek alternative financing and take other measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

Contract Balances

Contract assets as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and October 31, ~~2024~~2025 were $98138.13 million ($5384.49 million long-term) and $65131.1 million ($2882.31 million long-term), respectively. The contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not yet billed. These amounts are included on a separate line item as Unbilled receivables, and balances expected to be billed later than one year from the balance sheet date are included within Other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We bill customers for power platform and power platform component sales based on certain contractual milestones being reached. We bill service agreements based on the contract price and billing terms of the contracts. Generally, our Advanced Technologies contracts are billed based on actual revenues recorded, typically in the subsequent month. Some Advanced Technologies contracts are billed based on contractual milestones or costs incurred.

Contract liabilities as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and October 31, ~~2024~~2025 were $1012.75 million and $78.27 million, respectively. These amounts are included on a separate line item as Deferred revenue, and balances expected to be recognized as revenue beyond one year from the balance sheet date are included within Long-term deferred revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract liabilities relate to the advance billings to customers for services that will be recognized over time and in some instances for deferred revenue relating to variable consideration for previously sold products. The net change in contract liabilities represents customer billings offset by revenue recognized.

In May 2023, the Company entered into a second letter agreement with ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company (formerly known as ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company) (“EMTEC”), pursuant to which the parties agreed that the conditions to the Company’s agreement to invest in the future demonstration of the technology for capturing carbon at an ExxonMobil refinery located in Rotterdam, Netherlands (such demonstration, the “Rotterdam Project”) were met in April 2023 and, as a result, the Company recognized $2.5 million of the $5.0 million milestone payment received in fiscal year 2022 under the Company’s Joint Development Agreement with EMTEC as revenue across deliverables to EMTEC. Of this $2.5 million, the Company recognized aggregate revenue of $2.0 million during fiscal years 2024 and 2023 and the remaining $0.5 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The other $2.5 million of the $5.0 million milestone payment received in fiscal year 2022 under the Company’s Joint Development Agreement with EMTEC was applied during fiscal year 2023 to discount EMTEC’s purchase of the Company’s fuel cell module and detailed engineering design for the Rotterdam Project.

On January 31, 2024, the Company received a purchase order valued at $11.6 million from Esso Nederland B.V. (“Esso”), an affiliate of Exxon Mobil Corporation and EMTEC, for fuel cell modules as well as engineering, procurement, fabrication, testing and delivery services required for the construction and implementation of the modular point source carbon capture pilot plant at the Rotterdam Project. During the nine months ended July 31, 2025, the Company and Esso executed two change orders totaling $4.0 million to the original purchase order, which increased the total purchase order value to $15.6 million. The Company expects that this pilot plant will be completed and commissioned in calendar year 2026.

On and effective as of March 31, 2024, the Company and EMTEC entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Joint Development Agreement between the Company and EMTEC (as amended, the “Joint Development Agreement”). In Amendment No. 5, the Company and EMTEC further extended the term of the Joint Development Agreement such that it will end on December 31, 2026 (unless terminated earlier), so that the Company and EMTEC may pursue continued work to allow for technical readiness of the Generation 2 Technology fuel cell module as well as additional continuous technology development. In parallel with the Joint Development Agreement, the Company and EMTEC will pursue pioneer commercial deployments of the Generation 2 Technology with third parties, with the Company as the fuel cell module manufacturer for such deployments. Amendment No. 5 also removed the cap on the maximum amount of research costs to be reimbursed by EMTEC, and instead includes an expected annual budget for the anticipated work through the remaining term of the Joint Development Agreement of at least $10.0 million per year, subject to approval by EMTEC.

In addition, Amendment No. 5 provides the Company with the ability to pursue new carbon capture projects with third parties for the remaining duration of the term of the Joint Development Agreement using Generation 1 Technology or Generation 2 Technology (provided that the use of Generation 2 Technology must be limited to the use of Generation 2 physical fuel cell properties and design elements in Generation 1 Technology modules), with any new sales of such activities, authorized work, and carbon capture projects, when summed together, having the capability of capturing no more than 250,000 tons of CO2 on a cumulative annual basis. Under Amendment No. 5, following expiration of the term of the Joint Development Agreement, the Company will also have the opportunity to continue to service continuing obligations for such projects entered into during the term of the Joint Development Agreement (e.g., completion of contracted builds, service and repair/replacement of components, etc.). To allow the Company to pursue such projects, in Amendment No. 5, EMTEC also granted to the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable (during the term of the Joint Development Agreement), non-sub-licensable license to EMTEC’s Generation 1 Technology as well as to EMTEC’s Generation 2 Technology physical fuel cell properties and design elements.

Long-Term Service Agreement with Gyeonggi Green Energy Co., Ltd.

On May 28, 2024, the Company and Gyeonggi Green Energy Co., Ltd. (“GGE”) entered into a long-term service agreement (the “LTSA”) with respect to GGE’s 58.8 MW fuel cell power platform in Hwaseong-si, Korea (the “GGE Platform”). The GGE Platform is comprised of 21 SureSource 3000 molten carbonate fuel cells (each a “Plant”). Each Plant is comprised of two 1.4-MW carbonate fuel cell modules. Pursuant to the LTSA, GGE and the Company have agreed

Table of Contents

that (i) GGE will purchase from the Company 42 1.4-MW carbonate fuel cell modules to replace existing fuel cell modules at the GGE Platform, (ii) the Company will provide certain balance of plant replacement components if and to the extent the parties reasonably determine existing components should be replaced, and (iii) the Company will provide long term operations and maintenance services for the GGE Platform. The total amount payable by GGE under the LTSA for the 42 replacement fuel cell modules, balance of plant replacement components, and service is $159.6 million USD, with payments made and to be made over time as such replacement fuel cell modules are commissioned and the service obligations under the LTSA for such Plants commence.

Pursuant to the LTSA, the Company will provide various performance guarantees for each Plant related to power generation, fuel consumption, water consumption and heat production. If a Plant fails to achieve such performance requirements, the Company may be required to compensate GGE for such underperformance.

The Company’s service obligations under the LTSA commence with respect to individual Plants as the Company replaces each Plant’s existing fuel cell modules and commissions the replacement fuel cell modules. The term of the LTSA with respect to each Plant will continue for seven years from the date of commissioning of the replacement fuel cell modules for such Plant. Commissioning of the first six 1.4-MW replacement fuel cell modules was completed in the fall of calendar year 2024, and commissioning of an additional 12 1.4-MW replacement fuel cell modules was completed in the nine months ended July 31, 2025. An additional eight 1.4-MW replacement fuel cell modules are expected to be commissioned throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2025, and the remaining 16 1.4-MW replacement fuel cell modules are expected to be commissioned in fiscal year 2026.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations are the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, the Company’s total remaining performance obligations were: $~~169~~159.4 million for service agreements (expected to be recognized as revenue over approximately three to fifteen years which is based on the remaining term of the service agreements), $~~378~~370.92 million for generation power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) (expected to be recognized as revenue over approximately nineteen to twenty years based on the PPA terms remaining), $75.1 million for Advanced Technologies contracts (expected to be recognized within approximately two years) and $9654.21 million for product purchase agreements (expected to be recognized within the next two fiscal years).

Note 5. ~~Impairment and~~ Restructuring

Restructuring

In September and November 2024, the Company undertook restructuring actions, which included reductions in force that collectively represented approximately 17% of the Company’s global workforce and also included reduced spending for product development, overhead and other costs. These restructuring actions sought to reduce operating costs and better align the Company’s workforce with the needs of the Company’s business and its customers. The workforce was reduced across our global operations including Calgary, Canada and at our North American production facility in Torrington, Connecticut, at our corporate offices in Danbury, Connecticut and at other remote locations.

On June 4, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a global restructuring plan to further reduce operating costs, realign resources toward advancing the Company's core carbonate technologies, and protect the Company's competitive position amid slower-than-expected market investments in clean energy. This plan ~~includes~~included: (i) a workforce reduction of 122 employees, or approximately 22% of our workforce across the U.S., Canada and Germany (which reduction was implemented on June 5, 2025), (ii) a significant reduction of discretionary overhead spending, (iii) recalibration of the Torrington manufacturing facility production schedule to align with contracted demand, rather than forecasted demand, which, without continued growth in our closed order book, would result in a decrease in our annualized production rate, (iv) the deferral of certain compensation and benefit obligations, (v) the cessation of the majority of development efforts with respect to our solid oxide technology, and (vi) other targeted cost-saving measures.

In conjunction with the restructuring plan approved by the Board in June 2025, the Company ceased certain commercialization and capacity expansion activities related to its solid oxide technology performed by our subsidiaries, Versa Power Systems, Ltd. and Versa Power Systems, Inc. (collectively, the “Versa reporting unit”). As a result, the Company identified goodwill, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible assets, related inventory and property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), in each case related to the Company’s prior investments in the Versa reporting unit that might be impaired. The Company tested the fair value of the IPR&D intangible assets using the replacement cost method to establish a fair value according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), and determined that the carrying value of the IPR&D intangible assets was in excess of its fair value and that an impairment of the IPR&D intangible assets existed as of July 31, 2025. The Company also tested the fair value of the Versa reporting unit using the adjusted net asset value method according to ASC 350 to establish a fair value, and determined that the carrying value of the equity in the Versa reporting unit was in excess of its fair value and that an impairment of goodwill existed as of July 31, 2025. As part of the Adjusted Net Asset Value method to establish the fair value of the equity in the Versa reporting unit, impairments of certain inventory and PP&E assets were also identified as of July 31, 2025, as the carrying values of these assets exceeded their fair values.

In connection with the impairment testing of the Versa reporting unit, the Company estimated the fair values of IPR&D intangible assets, inventory, and PP&E using valuation techniques consistent with ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. The IPR&D intangible assets were valued using the replacement cost method, selected due to the absence of reliable cash flow projections and market comparable information. Inputs included internal development costs and benchmarked developer profit and obsolescence factors. Inventory was written down to zero based on internal assessments of recoverability, lack of alternative use, and the strategic decision to cease commercialization efforts on solid oxide technology. PP&E was valued using a combination of the cost and market approaches, depending on asset type and data availability. The cost approach was applied to specialized assets with limited market activity, while market data and supplier quotes supported valuation of general-use assets. Goodwill was impaired using the adjusted net asset value method, as the reporting unit lacked historical revenue and viable projections to support income or market-based approaches. While certain observable inputs were considered, the valuations primarily relied on internal assumptions and management estimates. Accordingly, all fair value measurements were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

In addition, the Company has solid oxide inventory located in Torrington, Connecticut, and, due to the cessation of certain commercialization and capacity expansion activities related to its solid oxide technology, this solid oxide inventory was identified and tested for whether net recoverable value (“NRV”) was lower than cost, according to ASC Topic 330, Inventory. The Company determined that the carrying value of this inventory was in excess of its NRV and that an impairment of the inventory existed as of July 31, 2025. The Company estimated NRV of this solid oxide inventory by considering its current ability to sell or use the inventory through existing sales/service channels, its ability to sell the inventory at a discounted price through existing sales/service channels, and its ability to use the inventory in other future projects.

Further, the Company previously made certain capacity expansion investments in PP&E with long lead times for its Torrington, Connecticut manufacturing facility and, as a result of the slower-than-expected pace of market developments, certain of this PP&E was identified and tested for recoverability in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, using the market method. As a result, the Company determined that the carrying value of this PP&E was in excess of its fair value and that an impairment existed as of July 31, 2025.

Table of Contents

Due to the impairments identified above, the Company recognized a total impairment expense of $64.5 million in each of the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2025, which is presented as Impairment expense within the operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Of the $64.5 million, approximately $42.1 million was related to PP&E, approximately $9.0 million was related to inventory, approximately $9.3 million was related to IPR&D intangible assets, and approximately $4.1 million was related to goodwill.

To the extent there are further changes in market conditions or the performance of the Company’s long-lived assets, the Company may incur additional impairment expenses in the future.

2025 EXIM Financing

On November 26, 2025, the Company closed on its second project debt financing transaction (the “2025 EXIM Financing”) with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“EXIM”) to support the Company’s obligations under its long-term service agreement with Gyeonggi Green Energy Co., Ltd. (“GGE”). In conjunction with this financing, the Company entered into a promissory note and related security agreements securing the loan with equipment liens, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $25.0 million before deducting customary fees and transaction costs, and net proceeds to the Company of approximately $22.7 million after deducting customary fees and transaction costs of $2.3 million. Interest accrues at a fixed interest rate of 5.29%, and the note is repayable in monthly installments consisting of interest and principal over 7 years from the date of the first debt payment, which was due in December 2025.

The credit agreement between the Company and EXIM with respect to the 2025 EXIM Financing contains certain reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants which are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, under this credit agreement and through an amendment to the credit agreement for the Company’s 2024 financing transaction with EXIM (the “2024 EXIM Financing”), the Company is required to maintain, throughout the remaining term of the credit agreement for the 2024 EXIM Financing and the term of the credit agreement for the 2025 EXIM Financing, a total minimum cash balance of $55.0 million. The amendment to the credit agreement for the 2024 EXIM Financing, which was executed in conjunction with and at the same time as the credit agreement for the 2025 EXIM Financing, reduced the total minimum cash balance requirement from $100.0 million to $55.0 million. For the purposes of these credit agreements, cash is defined as the sum of unrestricted cash plus all short-term (but no longer than three months), marketable United States Treasury instruments (as measured based on the maturity amount of each instrument).

OpCo Financing Facility Interest Rate Swap – Fair Value Adjustment

The Company’s interest rate swap related to the OpCo Financing Facility (as defined elsewhere herein) is recorded at its fair value each reporting period, with the resulting gains/losses recorded to other income/expense. The interest rate swap is a Level 2 asset/liability since the value can be determined based on the observed values for underlying interest rates. The fair value adjustment for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~July~~January 31, 2026 and 2025 resulted in gains ~~(losses)~~ of $0.64 million and $(0.2)9 million, respectively. The ~~fair value adjustment for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024 resulted in a loss of $2.4 million and a loss of $3.2 million, respectively. The~~ Company has recorded a derivative ~~asset~~liability within long-term debt and other ~~assets~~liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which had an estimated fair value of $0.103 million and $0.34 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and October 31, ~~2024~~2025, respectively.

Note 18. Benefit Plans

Long-Term Incentive Plans

The Board and its Compensation and Leadership Development Committee periodically approve Long-Term Incentive Plans which include performance-based awards tied to the Company’s common stock price as well as time-vesting awards. None of the awards granted as part of Long-Term Incentive Plans include any dividend equivalent or other stockholder rights. To the extent the awards are earned, they may be settled in shares or cash of an equivalent value at the Company’s option.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards for Fiscal Year 2025:

On ~~December~~November 3028, ~~2024~~2025, the ~~Board and its~~ Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) approved certain awards to be made under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”) for fiscal year ~~2025~~2026. The LTI Plan is a sub-plan consisting of awards made under the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “~~2018~~ Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The participants in the LTI Plan are members of senior management. The awards under the LTI Plan consist of two award components:

1) ~~Relative~~Absolute Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Performance Share Units (“PSU”). The PSUs granted during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 will be earned over three performance periods, with the third performance period ending on October 31, ~~2027~~2028, but will remain subject to a continued service-based vesting requirement until the third anniversary of the date of grant. The performance measure for the ~~relative~~ TSR PSUs is the absolute TSR of the Company, ~~relative~~measured over three performance periods: (1) from November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026 with respect to 33% of the ~~TSR~~target number of ~~the~~performance ~~Russell~~shares; ~~2000~~(2) from ~~October~~November 311, ~~2024~~2025 through October 31, 2027. ~~The~~with ~~Compensation~~respect to 33% of the target number of performance shares; and ~~Leadership~~(3) ~~Development~~from ~~Committee~~November ~~established~~1, 2025 through October 31, 2028 with respect to 34% of the target number of performance ~~assessment~~shares. ~~criteria~~TSR ~~for~~performance will be measured by subtracting the ~~relative~~beginning ~~TSR~~stock ~~PSUs~~price asof $7.61, representing a 20-trading day average closing price, from the ~~TSR~~average closing price of the Company’s ~~relative~~common tostock over the ~~TSR~~20 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the ~~Russell~~applicable ~~2000~~performance period, ~~with~~adding any dividends during the ~~award~~period, ~~calibration~~and ~~being~~then ~~100%~~dividing ~~plus~~the orresult ~~minus~~by 0the beginning stock price.5x ~~the~~For ~~difference~~each ~~between~~performance period, a minimum threshold achievement of 20% annualized TSR is necessary to earn 50% of the ~~Company’s~~target number of PSUs, a target achievement of 35% annualized TSR ~~and~~is necessary to earn 100% of the ~~Russell~~target ~~2000~~number ~~Index~~of ~~composite~~PSUs, and a maximum achievement of 50% annualized TSR is necessary to earn 235% of the target number of PSUs from that particular performance period. ~~The~~Each award is capped at ~~200~~235% of the target number of performance shares, and each award is further subject to a stock price cap under which the award will be reduced proportionately if the price of the Company’s common stock at the time of payment exceeds a specified dollar amount.

22Once performance is certified for each performance period, a corresponding number of PSUs become eligible to vest based on continued service through November 28, 2028 (subject to limited exceptions), at which time awards—to the extent that both the absolute TSR and service vesting requirements have been met—will vest. Given that the performance periods are still open, the Company will (subject to stockholder approval at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the amendment of the Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance) reserve shares equal to 235% of the target number of PSUs for each performance period, subject to performance during the remaining performance periods, as well as vesting based on continued service until November 28, 2028 (the third anniversary of the grant date). These awards shall, to the extent necessary to avoid issuing shares in excess of the remaining shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, be settled in cash.

Time-vesting Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”). The time-vesting RSUs granted during the three months ended January 31, 2026 will vest at a rate of one-third of the total number of RSUs on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. These awards shall, to the extent necessary to avoid issuing shares in excess of the remaining shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, be settled in cash.

On November 28, 2025, 442,218 PSUs and 476,339 time-based vesting RSUs were awarded to senior management under the LTI Plan. The PSUs were issued assuming participants will achieve 100% target performance. The Company will, subject to stockholder approval at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the amendment of the Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance, also reserve additional shares assuming the maximum performance targets will be met. These PSUs and RSUs were awarded as contingent cash settlement awards, which shall,

2)In ~~Time~~addition to the awards granted to senior management on November 28, 2025, during the three months ended January 31, 2026, the Board also granted a total of 542,146 time-based vesting ~~Restricted~~RSUs ~~Stock~~to ~~Units~~certain ~~(“RSU”)~~salaried employees to promote ownership of the Company’s equity and retention. The time-based vesting RSUs granted during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 ~~will~~ vest at a rate of one-~~half~~third of the total number of RSUs granted on each of the first ~~two~~three anniversaries of the date of grant.

On December 30, 2024, 186,507 PSUs and 186,501 time-based vesting RSUs were awarded to senior management under the LTI Plan.

PSUs are issued assuming participants achieve 100% target performance. The Company also reserves additional shares assuming the maximum performance targets are met. A portion of the PSUs awarded during the nine months ended July 31, 2025 may be settled in cash in lieu of shares if actual performance achieved with respect to the PSUs is such that the number of PSUs earned exceeds the number of shares then available under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

In addition to the awards granted to senior management on December 30, 2024, during the nine months ended July 31, 2025, the Board also granted a total of 305,137 time-based vesting RSUs to certain salaried employees and 16,047 time-based vesting RSUs to certain hourly employees to promote ownership of the Company’s equity and retention. The time-based vesting RSUs granted during the nine months ended July 31, 2025 vest at a rate of one-half of the total number of RSUs granted on each of the first two anniversaries of the date of grant.

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies

Service Agreements

Under the provisions of its service agreements, the Company provides services to maintain, monitor, and repair customer power plants to meet minimum operating levels. Under the terms of such service agreements, the particular power plant must meet a minimum operating output during defined periods of the term. If minimum output falls below the contract requirement, the Company may be subject to performance penalties and/or may be required to repair or replace the customer’s fuel cell module(s).

Table of Contents

Power Purchase Agreements

Under the terms of the Company’s PPAs, customers agree to purchase power from the Company’s fuel cell power plants at negotiated rates. Electricity rates are generally a function of the customers’ current and estimated future electricity pricing available from the grid. As owner or lessee of the power plants, the Company is responsible for all operating costs necessary to maintain, monitor and repair the power plants. Under certain agreements, the Company is also responsible for procuring fuel, generally natural gas or biogas, to run the power plants. In addition, under the terms of some of the PPAs, the Company may be subject to a performance penalty if the Company does not meet certain performance requirements.

Project Fuel Exposure

Certain of our PPAs for project assets in our generation operating portfolio expose us to fluctuating fuel price risks as well as the risk of being unable to procure the required amounts of fuel and the lack of alternative available fuel sources. We seek to mitigate our fuel risk using strategies including: (i) fuel cost reimbursement mechanisms in our PPAs to allow for pass through of fuel costs (full or partial) where possible, which we have done with our 14.9 MW operating project in Bridgeport, CT; (ii) procuring fuel under fixed price physical supply contracts with investment grade counterparties, which we have done for twenty years for our Tulare BioMAT project, ~~for~~ the initial seven years of the twenty year PPA for our LIPA Yaphank Project (through September 2028), ~~for~~ six years of the twenty year PPA for our 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects (through October 2029), and ~~through~~the ~~May~~initial ~~2026~~three ~~for~~years of the twenty year Toyota HPPA (through May of 2026); and (iii) potentially entering into future financial hedges with investment grade counterparties to offset potential negative market fluctuations. The Company does not take a fundamental view on natural gas or other commodity pricing and seeks commercially available means to reduce commodity exposure. If the Company is unable to secure fuel on favorable economic terms, it may result in impairment charges to the Derby and Yaphank project assets and further charges for the Toyota project asset.

The Company net settled certain natural gas purchases under previous normal purchase normal sale contract designations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 for one contract and in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 for other contracts, which resulted in a change to mark-to-market accounting. The Company recorded mark-to-market net gains of $13.06 million and $21.08 million associated with the natural gas contract derivatives for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025,~~2026 ~~respectively. The Company recorded mark-to-market net losses of $0.9 million~~ and ~~$5.1 million associated with the natural gas contract derivatives for the three and nine months ended July 31~~2025, ~~2024,~~ respectively. The Company recorded derivative assets within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which had an estimated fair value of $15.47 million and $1.2.0 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and October 31, ~~2024~~2025, respectively. The Company recorded derivative liabilities within long-term debt and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which had an estimated fair value of $20.1 million ~~and~~as ~~$4.0~~of ~~million~~each as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and October 31, ~~2024, respectively~~2025. The natural gas contract derivatives are classified as Level 2 financial assets/liabilities since the values can be determined based on readily observable inputs for underlying natural gas forward prices.

Other

As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, the Company had unconditional, aggregate purchase commitments of $6682.96 million for materials, supplies and services in the normal course of business.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, regulatory proceedings, claims, mediations, arbitrations and litigation, arising out of the ordinary course of its business (“Legal Proceedings”). Although the Company cannot assure the outcome of such Legal Proceedings, management presently believes that the result of such Legal Proceedings, either individually, or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no material amounts have been accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with respect to these matters.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that the Company believes to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-KQ, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, expectations, future performance, business operations and business prospects, are forward-looking statements.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as well as management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they come due over the next twelve months. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, revenue recognition, lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, ~~loss accruals on service agreements,~~ excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventories, product warranty accruals, loss accruals on service agreements, share-based compensation expense, allowance for credit losses, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill and in-process research and development intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets (including project assets), valuation of derivatives, and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from those estimates. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2024~~2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company”, “FuelCell Energy”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to FuelCell Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All tabular dollar amounts are in thousands.

We target a range of markets and applications with our products, including utilities and independent power producers, data centers, wastewater treatment, commercial and hospitality, and microgrids, among others. We market our products primarily in the U.S. and Canada, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and priority Asian markets including South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. We selectively pursue additional opportunities in other regions that align with our strategic priorities. We focus our expansion on markets and regions that value clean distributed generation, have poor grid reliability and/or challenged transmission and distribution lines, and can benefit from the value streams our products provide.

In addition to our existing core molten carbonate-based commercial products, we engage strategically in research and development, both company-funded and carried out under grants from and commercial agreements with private companies and various government agencies through our Advanced Technologies programs. Our Advanced Technologies programs are currently focused on continued development and advancement of our core carbonate fuel cell technology as well as commercialization of our solid oxide electrolysis technology for distributed hydrogen. We focus on generating revenue from our core recurring and non-recurring revenue sources, while working to identify the next trends in clean energy we believe we can commercialize, take to market, and grow into future revenue streams.

We target a range of markets and applications with our products, including utilities and independent power producers, data centers, wastewater treatment, commercial and hospitality, food and beverage, and microgrids, among others. We market our products primarily in the United States, Europe and Korea, and we are also pursuing opportunities in other countries around the world. We target for expansion and development markets and geographic regions that benefit from and value clean distributed generation; are located where there are high energy costs, poor grid reliability, and/or challenged transmission and distribution lines; can leverage the multiple value streams delivered by our platforms (electricity, hydrogen, thermal, water, and carbon recovery); are aligned with regulatory frameworks that harmonize energy, economic and environmental policies; and are committed to reducing their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.22

FuelCell Energy, headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut, was founded in 1969 as a New York corporation to provide applied research and development services on a contract basis. We completed our initial public offering in 1992 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. We began selling stationary fuel cell power plants commercially in 2003.

The increase in service agreements revenues during the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 was primarily driven by revenue recognized under the Company’s LTSA with GGE for service provided by the Company to the GGE’s ~~58.8~~Platform, MWdue ~~fuel~~to ~~cell~~the ~~power~~increased ~~plant~~number ~~platform~~of infuel ~~Hwaseong-si,~~cell ~~Korea.~~modules ~~There~~in ~~were~~operation noat ~~module exchanges during~~ the ~~three~~GGE ~~months~~Platform ~~ended~~over ~~July~~the ~~31,~~past ~~2025,~~year. ~~and~~There were no module exchanges during each of the three ~~months~~ month periods ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2026 and 2025.

Cost of service agreements revenues increased $21.52 million to $32.68 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 from $1.17 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025, primarily driven by the cost of providing service under the Company’s LTSA with GGE.

Overall gross ~~loss~~profit from service agreements revenues was $(0.5)4 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to a gross profit of $0.32 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. The overall gross margin was ~~(16~~11.4)5% for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 compared to a gross margin of 189.87% in the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was lower during the three months ended July 31, 2025 primarily due to the fact that work performed during the three months ended July 31, 2025 was performed pursuant to service agreements with lower margins.

Generation revenues

Generation revenues and related costs for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended ~~July~~January 31,				Change
(dollars in thousands)	~~2025~~2026		~~2024~~2025		$		%

Revenues from generation for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 totaled $1211.40 million, which represents a decrease of $1.0.4 million from the $1311.43 million of ~~revenue~~generation revenues recognized for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. The decrease in generation revenues reflects lower output from plants in our generation operating portfolio ~~resulting~~during the quarter compared to output from ~~routine~~plants ~~maintenance~~in ~~activities~~our generation operating portfolio during the ~~quarter~~same period in the prior year. Generation revenues for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025 reflect revenue from electricity generated under our power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) and the sale of renewable energy credits from our generation operating portfolio.

Cost of generation revenues totaled $1514.31 million infor the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to $1815.83 million infor the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. The overall decrease in cost of generation revenues is primarily related to a mark-to-market net gain of $13.06 million related to natural gas purchase contracts recognized during the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to a mark-to-market net ~~loss~~gain of $01.98 million during the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. Cost of generation revenues ~~for the three months ended July 31, 2024 also~~ included an impairment charge of $1.1 million relating to project assets then under construction relating to the PPAs for Trinity College and for UConn (as defined elsewhere herein). Cost of generation revenues included depreciation and amortization of approximately $78.7 million and $78.30 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, respectively.

We currently have four projects with fuel sourcing risk, which are the Toyota Project, the 14.0 MW Derby Fuel Cell Project and the 2.8 MW SCEF Fuel Cell Project, ~~both~~the latter two of which are located in Derby, Connecticut (collectively, the “Derby Projects”), and our 7.4 MW project in Yaphank Long Island (the “LIPA Yaphank Project”), all of which require natural gas for which there is no pass-through mechanism. A one-year fuel supply contract (through May of 2026) has been executed for the Toyota Project. Six-year (through October 2029) fuel supply contracts have been executed for

~~there is no pass-through mechanism. A one-year fuel supply contract (through May of 2026) has been executed for~~ the ~~Toyota Project. Six-year (through October 2029) fuel supply contracts have been executed for the~~ 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects. We are currently in the midst of a seven-year contract (through September 2028) for our 7.4 MW LIPA Yaphank Project. The Company will look to extend the duration of these contracts should market and credit conditions allow. If the Company is unable to secure fuel on favorable economic terms, it may result in impairment charges to the Derby Project assets or the LIPA Yaphank Project asset and further impairment charges for the Toyota Project asset.

We had 62.8 MW of operating power plants in our generation operating portfolio as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, which was unchanged from ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025.

Advanced Technologies contract revenues

Advanced Technologies contract gross margin		2728.36%		3226.7%

Advanced Technologies contract revenues for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 decreased to $54.3 million from $85.67 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. Advanced Technologies contract revenues recognized under our Joint Development Agreement with ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company (“EMTEC”) were approximately $3.1.7 million, revenues arising from the purchase order received from Esso Nederland B.V. (“Esso”), an affiliate of EMTEC and Exxon Mobil Corporation, related to the Rotterdam project were approximately $1.49 million and revenue recognized under government contracts and other contracts were approximately $0.87 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026. This compares to Advanced Technologies contract revenues recognized under our Joint Development Agreement with EMTEC of approximately $1.82 million, revenue recognized under the Esso purchase order of approximately $3.5 million and revenue recognized under government contracts and other contracts of approximately $31.31 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025.

Advanced Technologies contracts for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 generated a gross profit of $1.42 million, compared to a gross profit of $21.85 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to lower margins on some of the contracts under which revenues were recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2024.

Administrative and selling expenses

Administrative and selling expenses were $1413.15 million and $1415.60 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, respectively. Administrative and selling expenses were lower during the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 than during the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025 primarily due to lower compensation expense as a result of the restructuring actions in ~~September of fiscal year 2024, and in~~ November and June of fiscal year 2025.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased to $7.60 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 compared to $1211.81 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in spending on the Company’s commercial development efforts related to our solid oxide power generation and electrolysis platforms and ~~carbon~~related ~~separation~~lower ~~and~~compensation ~~carbon~~expense ~~recovery~~as ~~solutions~~a ~~compared~~result toof the ~~comparable~~restructuring ~~prior~~actions in November and June of fiscal year ~~period~~2025.

Restructuring expense

Restructuring expense of $4.1.5 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, 2025 related to the Company’s workforce reductions in ~~June~~November ~~2025~~2024. There were no comparable charges during the three months ended January 31, 2026.

Impairment expense

Impairment expense of $64.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 related to the Company's prior investments in solid oxide technology, including related goodwill and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and solid oxide inventory. Of the $64.5 million, approximately $42.1 million was related to property, plant and equipment, approximately $9.0 million was related to inventory, approximately $9.3 million was related to IPR&D intangible assets, and approximately $4.1 million was related to goodwill.

Loss from operations

Loss from operations for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 was $9526.43 million compared to $3332.69 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. This ~~increase~~decrease was driven primarily by ~~the impairment and restructuring expenses recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2025, partially offset by~~ decreases in Administrative and selling expenses and Research and development expenses compared to the comparable prior year period ~~and a $1~~.~~1 million decrease in gross loss.~~

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025 was $2.58 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Interest expense for both periods includes interest on the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility, ~~and~~ the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility ~~(in each case~~, ~~as defined elsewhere herein), which were entered into in April 2024,~~ the OpCo Financing Facility ~~(as defined elsewhere herein)~~, ~~which was entered into in May 2023, and interest on~~ the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility, ~~and~~ the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility, and the 2024 EXIM Financing (in each case, as defined elsewhere herein), which ~~were~~was entered into in ~~August~~October ~~2023~~2024. Interest expense for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 also includes interest on the ~~facility~~2025 ~~with~~ EXIM Financing (as defined elsewhere herein), which was entered into in ~~October~~November ~~2024~~2025.

Interest income

Interest income was $2.15 million and $32.34 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase in interest income during the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 was primarily driven by ~~lower~~higher money market investments compared to the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, 2024, partially offset by interest of $0.5 million earned on employee retention credits from the Internal Revenue Service. These employee retention credits were earned during the COVID-19 pandemic and accrued interest until such credits were received by the Company during the three months ended July 31, 2025. Interest income for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 represents interest earned on money market investments~~, interest earned on investments in U~~.S. ~~Treasury Securities and interest earned on employee retention credits.~~ Interest income for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025 represents interest earned on money market investments and interest earned on investments in U.S. Treasury Securities.

Other income ~~(expense)~~, net was $30.95 million and $(20.2)7 million for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, respectively. Other income, net for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, 2026 and 2025 relates primarily to ~~$3.4 million of employee retention credits earned during the COVID-19 pandemic that were received during the three months ended July 31, 2025, as well as an~~ unrealized ~~gain~~gains of $0.64 million onand ~~the OpCo Financing Facility interest rate swap derivative~~$0.9 ~~Other expense~~million, ~~net for the three months ended July 31~~respectively, ~~2024 relates primarily to an unrealized loss~~ on the OpCo Financing Facility interest rate swap derivative ~~of $2~~.4 ~~million.~~

Provision for income taxes

We have not paid federal or state income taxes in several years due to our history of net operating losses, although we have paid foreign income and withholding taxes, primarily in South Korea. Provision for income tax recorded for each of the three ~~month~~months ~~periods~~ ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025 was $~~40.~~0 ~~thousand and $2~~.~~0 thousand, respectively.~~

Series B preferred stock dividends

Dividends recorded on our 5% Series B Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) were $0.8 million for each of the three month periods ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests is the result of allocating profits and losses to noncontrolling interests under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method. HLBV is a balance sheet-oriented approach for applying the equity method of accounting when there is a complex structure, such as the flip structure of our tax equity financings with East West Bancorp, Inc. (“East West Bank”), Renewable Energy Investors, LLC (“REI”), and Franklin Park 2023 FCE Tax Equity Fund, LLC (“Franklin Park”).

For the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest totaled $(03.~~01)~~9 million and $(03.2)5 million, respectively, for the Groton Project tax equity financing transaction with East West Bank.

For the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest totaled $(0.6)3 million and $(01.40) million, respectively, for the LIPA Yaphank Project tax equity financing transaction with REI.

For both of the three month periods ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest totaled $0.4 million for the Derby Projects tax equity financing transaction with Franklin Park.

For the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest totaled $0.4 million and $(1.8) million, respectively, for the Derby Projects tax equity financing transaction with Franklin Park. The loss in the three months ended July 31, 2024 was primarily a result of accelerated depreciation allocated to the noncontrolling interest under the HLBV method.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders and net loss per common share

Net loss attributable to common stockholders represents the net loss for the period less the preferred stock dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. For the three month periods ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $9223.57 million and $3329.51 million, respectively, and net loss per common share was $30.7849 and $1.9942, respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease in net loss attributable to common stockholders ~~and net loss per common share~~ was primarily due to the ~~impairment~~decrease ~~and~~in ~~restructuring~~loss ~~expenses~~from ~~recognized~~operations ~~during~~for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026. The decrease in net loss per share for the three months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 also benefitted from the higher number of weighted average shares outstanding due to share issuances since ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025.

A discussion of the changes in product revenues, service agreements revenues, generation revenues and Advanced Technologies contract revenues follows.

Product revenues

Our product revenues and related costs for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended July 31,				Change
(dollars in thousands)	2025		2024		$		%
Product revenues	$	39,099	$	250	$	38,849	15540%

Product revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 were $39.1 million, compared to $0.3 million of product revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. Product revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 were driven primarily by $36.0 million of revenue recognized under the Company’s LTSA with GGE for the delivery and commissioning of twelve fuel cell modules for GGE’s 58.8 MW fuel cell power plant platform in Hwaseong-si, Korea. Product revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 also include $3.1 million of product revenues recognized under the Company’s sales contract with Ameresco, Inc., which was entered into during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, pursuant to which the Company is to provide a 2.8 MW carbonate fuel cell platform to the Sacramento Area Sewer District.

Cost of product revenues totaled $48.4 million in the nine months ended July 31, 2025, compared to $9.5 million in the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in cost of product revenues in the nine months ended July 31, 2025 is primarily due to the cost of delivering and commissioning twelve fuel cell modules for GGE’s 58.8 MW fuel cell power plant platform in Hwaseong-si, Korea and the costs of product revenues recognized under the Company’s sales contract with Ameresco, Inc. Manufacturing variances, primarily related to production volumes and unabsorbed overhead costs, decreased to approximately $8.5 million for nine months ended July 31, 2025, compared to approximately $8.6 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, we operated at an annualized production rate of approximately 30.5 MW in our Torrington, CT manufacturing facility, compared to an annualized production rate of 31.1 MW for the nine months ended July 31, 2024.

Service agreements revenues

Service agreements revenues and related costs for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended July 31,				Change
(dollars in thousands)	2025		2024		$		%
Service agreements revenues	$	13,122	$	4,397	$	8,725	198%
Cost of service agreements revenues		14,377		4,301		10,076	234%
Gross (loss) profit from service agreements revenues	$	(1,255)	$	96	$	(1,351)	(1,407)%
Service agreements revenues gross margin		(9.6)%		2.2%

Service agreements revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 increased $8.7 million to $13.1 million from $4.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in service agreements revenues during the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was primarily driven by revenues recognized for module exchanges under the Company’s LTSA with United Illuminating in New Haven, Connecticut, and partially from revenue recognized under the Company’s LTSA with GGE for service provided by the Company to GGE’s 58.8 MW fuel cell power plant platform in Hwaseong-si, Korea. During the nine months ended July 31, 2024, there were no module exchanges.

Cost of service agreements revenues increased $10.1 million to $14.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 from $4.3 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. Cost of service agreements revenues includes maintenance and operating costs and costs of module exchanges. The increase reflects higher costs due to the module exchanges during the nine months ended July 31, 2025, while there were no module exchanges during the nine months ended July 31, 2024.

Overall gross loss from service agreements revenues was $1.3 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, compared to a gross profit of $0.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The overall gross margin was (9.6)% for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 compared to a gross margin of 2.2% in the nine months ended July 31, 2024. This decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the fact that work performed during the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was performed pursuant to service agreements with lower margins.

Generation revenues

Generation revenues and related costs for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended July 31,				Change
(dollars in thousands)	2025		2024		$		%
Generation revenues	$	35,825	$	38,013	$	(2,188)	(6)%
Cost of generation revenues		49,035		61,079		(12,044)	(20)%
Gross loss from generation revenues	$	(13,210)	$	(23,066)	$	9,856	43%
Generation revenues gross margin		(36.9)%		(60.7)%

Revenues from generation for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 totaled $35.8 million, which represents a decrease of $2.2 million from generation revenues recognized of $38.0 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease in generation revenues reflects lower output from plants in our generation operating portfolio resulting from routine maintenance activities, partially offset by revenue generated by the Derby Projects, both of which became operational in December 2023. Generation revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 reflect revenue from electricity generated under our PPAs and the sale of renewable energy credits from our generation operating portfolio.

Cost of generation revenues totaled $49.0 million in the nine months ended July 31, 2025, compared to $61.1 million in the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The overall decrease in cost of generation revenues is primarily due to a decrease in expensed construction costs related to the Toyota Project, which were $0.6 million in the nine months ended July 31, 2025 compared to $6.3 million in the nine months ended July 31, 2024 (which also included expensed gas costs). During the nine months ended July 31, 2025, the Company incurred a mark-to-market net gain of $2.0 million related to natural gas purchase contracts. During the nine months ended July 31, 2024, the Company incurred a mark-to-market net loss of $5.1 million related to natural gas purchase contracts. Cost of generation revenues also decreased due to downtime from maintenance activities performed during the nine months ended July 31, 2025. Cost of generation revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 also included an impairment charge of $1.1 million relating to project assets then under construction relating to the PPAs for Trinity College and for UConn (as defined elsewhere herein). Cost of generation

revenues included depreciation and amortization of approximately $24.4 million and $21.3 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We currently have four projects with fuel sourcing risk, which are the Toyota Project, our 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects and our 7.4 MW LIPA Yaphank Project, all of which require natural gas for which there is no pass-through mechanism. A one-year fuel supply contract (through May of 2026) has been executed for the Toyota Project. Six-year (through October 2029) fuel supply contracts have been executed for the 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects. We are currently in the midst of a seven-year contract (through September 2028) for our 7.4 MW LIPA Yaphank Project. The Company will look to extend the duration of these contracts should market and credit conditions allow. If the Company is unable to secure fuel on favorable economic terms, it may result in impairment charges to the Derby Project assets or the LIPA Yaphank Project asset and further impairment charges for the Toyota Project asset.

Advanced Technologies contract revenues

Advanced Technologies contract revenues and related costs for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended July 31,				Change
(dollars in thousands)	2025		2024		$		%
Advanced Technologies contract revenues	$	15,100	$	20,146	$	(5,046)	(25)%
Cost of Advanced Technologies contract revenues		11,130		12,917		(1,787)	(14)%
Gross profit from Advanced Technologies contracts	$	3,970	$	7,229	$	(3,259)	(45)%
Advanced Technologies contract gross margin		26.3%		35.9%

Advanced Technologies contract revenues decreased to $15.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 from $20.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. Compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2024, Advanced Technologies contract revenues recognized under our Joint Development Agreement with EMTEC were approximately $0.4 million lower, revenues arising from the purchase order received from Esso related to the Rotterdam project were approximately $0.6 million lower, and revenue recognized under government contracts and other contracts were approximately $4.0 million lower for the nine months ended July 31, 2025.

Cost of Advanced Technologies contract revenues were $11.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, compared to $12.9 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024.

Advanced Technologies contracts for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 generated a gross profit of $4.0 million, compared to a gross profit of $7.2 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to lower margins on some of the contracts under which revenues were recognized during the nine months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2024.

Administrative and selling expenses

Administrative and selling expenses were $45.6 million and $48.7 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Administrative and selling expenses were lower during the nine months ended July 31, 2025 than during the nine months ended July 31, 2024 primarily due to lower compensation expense as a result of the restructuring actions in September of fiscal year 2024, and in November and June of fiscal year 2025.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased to $28.6 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 compared to $43.8 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in spending on the Company’s commercial development efforts related to our solid oxide power generation and electrolysis platforms and carbon separation and carbon recovery solutions compared to the comparable prior year period.

Restructuring expense

Restructuring expense of $5.6 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was a result of the Company’s workforce reductions in November 2024 and June 2025, which represented approximately 13% and 22% of the Company’s global workforce, respectively, and were intended to reduce operating costs, realign resources toward advancing the Company's

core carbonate technologies, and protect the Company's competitive position amid slower-than-expected market investments in clean energy. The workforce was reduced across our global operations including Calgary, Canada and at our North American production facility in Torrington, Connecticut, at our corporate offices in Danbury, Connecticut and at other remote locations.

Impairment expense

Impairment expense of $64.5 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 related to the Company's prior investments in solid oxide technology, including related goodwill and IPR&D intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and solid oxide inventory. Of the $64.5 million, approximately $42.1 million was related to property, plant and equipment, approximately $9.0 million was related to inventory, approximately $9.3 million was related to IPR&D intangible assets, and approximately $4.1 million was related to goodwill.

Loss from operations

Loss from operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was $164.0 million compared to $117.5 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. This increase was driven primarily by the impairment and restructuring expenses recognized during the nine months ended July 31, 2025, partially offset by decreases in Administrative and selling expenses and Research and development expenses compared to the comparable prior year period and a $5.2 million decrease in gross loss.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 was $7.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Interest expense for both periods includes interest on the OpCo Financing Facility (as defined elsewhere herein), which was entered into in May 2023, and interest on the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility and the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility (in each case, as defined elsewhere herein), which were entered into in August 2023. Interest expense increased for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, as this period also includes interest on the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility (in each case, as defined elsewhere herein), which were entered into in April 2024, and on the facility with EXIM (as defined elsewhere herein), which was entered into in October 2024.

Interest income

Interest income was $6.4 million and $10.7 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in interest income during the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was primarily driven by lower money market investments compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2024, partially offset by interest of $0.5 million earned on employee retention credits from the Internal Revenue Service. These employee retention credits were earned during the COVID-19 pandemic and accrued interest until such credits were received by the Company during the nine months ended July 31, 2025. Interest income for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 represents interest earned on money market investments, interest earned on investments in U.S. Treasury Securities and interest earned on employee retention credits. Interest income for the nine months ended July 2024 represents interest earned on money market investments and interest earned on investments in U.S. Treasury Securities.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net was $3.5 million and $(3.3) million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other income, net for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 primarily relates to employee retention credits earned during the COVID-19 pandemic of $3.4 million that were received during the three months ended July 31, 2025, as well as an unrealized loss of $0.2 million on the OpCo Financing Facility interest rate swap derivative. Other expense, net for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 primarily relates to an unrealized loss on the OpCo Financing Facility interest rate swap derivative of $3.2 million.

Provision for income taxes

Table of Contents

ended July 31, 2025 was $0.1 million, and provision for income tax recorded for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was $2.0 thousand.

Series B preferred stock dividends

Dividends recorded on our Series B Preferred Stock were $2.4 million for each of the nine month periods ended July 31, 2025 and 2024.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests

For each of the nine month periods ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest totaled $(3.5) million for the Groton Project tax equity financing transaction with East West Bank.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest totaled $(1.7) million and $(0.5) million, respectively, for the LIPA Yaphank Project tax equity financing transaction with REI.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest totaled $1.2 million and $(28.6) million, respectively, for the Derby Projects tax equity financing transaction with Franklin Park. The loss in the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the Investment Tax Credit (“ITC”) attributable to the noncontrolling interest for the 2023 tax year. The ITC reduces the noncontrolling interest’s claim on hypothetical liquidation proceeds in the HLBV waterfall and is nonrecurring. The loss in the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was also a result of accelerated depreciation allocated to the noncontrolling interest under the HLBV method.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders and net loss per common share

Net loss attributable to common stockholders represents the net loss for the period less the preferred stock dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. For the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $160.4 million and $87.0 million, respectively, and net loss per common share was $7.22 and $5.56, respectively. The increase in net loss attributable to common stockholders is primarily due to impairment and restructuring expenses recognized during the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The net loss per share for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 benefitted from the higher number of weighted average shares outstanding due to share issuances since July 31, 2024.

The Registration Statement, as amended by the Post-Effective Amendments, was declared effective by the SEC on March 10, 2025. In the event that the Amended Sales Agreement is terminated, any portion of the aggregate amount of shares of common stock included in the prospectus supplement that is not sold pursuant to the Amended Sales Agreement will be available for sale in other offerings pursuant to the base prospectus and a corresponding prospectus supplement.

We believe that our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, expected receipts from our contracted backlog, and release of short-term restricted cash less expected disbursements over the next twelve months will be sufficient to allow the Company to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date of issuance of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

To date, we have not achieved profitable operations or sustained positive cash flow from operations. The Company’s future liquidity, for the remainder of fiscal year ~~2025~~2026 and in the long-term, will depend on its ability to (i) timely complete current projects in process within budget, (ii) increase cash flows from its generation operating portfolio, including by meeting conditions required to timely commence operation of new projects, operating its generation operating portfolio in compliance with minimum performance guarantees and operating its generation operating portfolio in accordance with revenue expectations, (iii) obtain financing for project construction and manufacturing expansion, (iv) obtain permanent financing for its projects once constructed, (v) increase order and contract volumes, which would lead to additional product sales, service agreements and generation revenues, (vi) obtain funding for and receive payment for research and development under current and future Advanced Technologies contracts, (vii) successfully advance the commercialization of its solid oxide and carbon capture platforms through partnerships with third parties, (viii) implement capacity expansion for ~~our~~its carbonate products when required, (ix) seek partnerships for solid oxide product commercialization and manufacturing, (x) implement the product cost reductions necessary to achieve profitable operations, (xi) manage working capital and the Company’s unrestricted cash balance and (xii) access the capital markets to raise funds through the sale of debt and equity securities, convertible notes, and other equity-linked instruments.

Our business model requires substantial outside financing arrangements and satisfaction of the conditions of such arrangements to construct and deploy our projects to facilitate the growth of our business. The Company has invested capital raised from sales of its common stock to build out its project portfolio. The Company has also utilized and expects to continue to utilize a combination of long-term debt and tax equity financing (e.g., sale-leaseback transactions, partnership flip transactions and the monetization and/or transfer of eligible investment and production tax credits) to finance its project asset portfolio as these projects commence commercial operations. The Company may also seek to undertake private placements of debt securities to finance its project asset portfolio. The Company is also pursuing financing to support its commercial efforts, which include deployment of modules to the repowering opportunities in the Korean market including the GGE project (as defined elsewhere herein). The proceeds of any such financing, if obtained, may allow the Company to reinvest capital back into the business and to fund other projects. We also expect to seek additional financing in both the debt and equity markets in the future. If financing is not available to us on acceptable terms if and when needed, or on terms acceptable to us or our lenders, if we do not satisfy the conditions of our financing arrangements, if we spend more than the financing approved for projects, if project costs exceed an amount that the Company can finance, or if we do not generate sufficient revenues or obtain capital sufficient for our corporate needs, we

The proceeds of any such financing, if obtained, may allow the Company to reinvest capital back into the business and to fund other projects. We also expect to seek additional financing in both the debt and equity markets in the future. If financing is not available to us on acceptable terms if and when needed, or on terms acceptable to us or our lenders, if we do not satisfy the conditions of our financing arrangements, if we spend more than the financing approved for projects, if project costs exceed an amount that the Company can finance, or if we do not generate sufficient revenues or obtain capital sufficient for our corporate needs, we may be required to further reduce or slow planned spending, further reduce staffing, sell assets, seek alternative financing and take other measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

Generation Operating Portfolio, Project Assets, and Backlog

To grow our generation operating portfolio, the Company may continue to invest in developing and building turn-key fuel cell projects, which will be owned by the Company and classified as project assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This strategy requires liquidity and the Company expects to continue to have increasing liquidity requirements as project sizes increase and more projects are added to backlog. We may commence building project assets upon the award of a project or execution of a multi-year PPA with an end-user that has a strong credit profile. Project development and construction cycles, which span the time between securing a PPA and commercial operation of the platform, vary substantially and can take years. As a result of these project cycles and strategic decisions to finance the construction of certain projects, we may need to make significant up-front investments of resources in advance of the receipt of any cash from the sale or long-term financing of such projects. To make these up-front investments, we may use our working capital, seek to raise funds through the sale of equity or debt securities, or seek other financing arrangements. Delays in ~~construction progress and completing current projects in process within budget, or in completing financing or the sale of our projects may impact our liquidity in a material way.~~

We believe retaining ownership of our generation operating portfolio generally contributes to higher long-term cash flows to the Company than if these projects had been sold. Our generation operating portfolio totaled 62.8 MW as of July 31, 2025. We expect generation revenue to continue to grow as additional projects achieve commercial operation, but this revenue amount may also fluctuate from year to year depending on platform output, operational performance and management and site conditions. The Company actively markets its products in order to grow this portfolio; however, the Company may also sell certain projects to investors from time to time. As of July 31, 2025, the Company had one project representing an additional 7.4 MW in development, which is expected to generate operating cash flows in future periods, if completed. We have worked with and are continuing to work with lenders and financial institutions to secure construction financing, long-term debt, tax equity and sale-leasebacks for our project asset portfolio, but there can be no assurance that such financing can be attained, or that, if attained, it will be retained and sufficient.28

As ofTable ~~July 31, 2025, net debt outstanding related to project assets was $109.0 million. Future required payments, inclusive~~ of principal and interest, totaled $126.5 million as of July 31, 2025. The outstanding finance obligations under our sale-leaseback transactions totaled $18.8 million as of July 31, 2025, of which $11.6 million represents the current carrying value of finance obligations less future required payments.

construction progress and completing current projects in process within budget, or in completing financing or the sale of our projects may impact our liquidity in a material way.

Our generation operating portfolio totaled 62.8 MW as of January 31, 2026. We expect generation revenue to continue to grow as additional projects achieve commercial operation, but this revenue amount may also fluctuate from year to year depending on platform output, operational performance and management and site conditions. The Company actively markets its products in order to grow this portfolio; however, the Company may also sell certain projects to investors from time to time. As of January 31, 2026, the Company had two projects representing an additional 8.5 MW in development, which are expected to generate operating cash flows in future periods, if completed. We have worked with and are continuing to work with lenders and financial institutions to secure construction financing, long-term debt, tax equity and sale-leasebacks for our project asset portfolio, but there can be no assurance that such financing can be attained, or that, if attained, it will be retained and sufficient.

As of January 31, 2026, net debt outstanding related to project assets was $102.7 million. Future required payments, inclusive of principal and interest, totaled $117.6 million as of January 31, 2026. The outstanding finance obligations under our sale-leaseback transactions totaled $18.8 million as of January 31, 2026, of which $12.4 million represents the current carrying value of finance obligations less future required payments.

(1). Rated capacity is the platform’s design rated output as of the date of initiation of commercial operations, except with respect to the Groton Project.

(2). The Groton Project was previously operating (including as of the date of initiation of commercial operations) at a reduced output of approximately 6.0 MW. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Groton Project reached its design rated output of 7.4 MW.

Generation ~~Project~~Projects in Process

In January 2025, we entered into a PPA with Eversource and United Illuminating in Hartford, Connecticut, for a 7.4 MW carbonate fuel cell power generation system. Power from this project will be sold to Eversource and United Illuminating through the 20-year term of the PPA. The current expectation is that we will complete construction in calendar year ~~2026~~2027, and commence commercial operations in ~~December~~the ~~2026~~fall of 2027, subject in each case to completing customary development steps and obtaining financing for the project.

~~Generation~~In ~~Projects~~December No2025, ~~Longer~~we entered into an amendment of our PPA with the University of Connecticut (“UConn”). Under our amended PPA with UConn, the project was modified to replace the four 250 kW solid oxide fuel cell power generation systems totaling 1 MW contemplated by the original PPA, with one 1.125 MW molten carbonate fuel cell power generation system. The current expectation is that we will complete construction in ~~Process~~calendar year 2027 and commence commercial operations in December of 2027, subject in each case to completing customary development steps.

During fiscal year 2022, we entered into a PPA with Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, for a 250 kW solid oxide fuel cell power generation system, and in March 2024, we entered into a PPA with the University of Connecticut (“UConn”), in Storrs, Connecticut, for four 250 kW solid oxide fuel cell power generation systems totaling 1 MW. As a result of our restructuring plans and the slowdown in the adoption of clean energy technology for the production of zero-carbon hydrogen and other energy transition solutions, we have ceased all work and spending on the Trinity and UConn projects and removed them from contracted backlog during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. In addition, the

Company and Trinity College mutually agreed to terminate the PPA for the 250 kW solid oxide fuel cell power generation system in May 2025, and the Company is currently in discussions with UConn regarding a modification of the PPA for the four 250 kW solid oxide fuel cell power generation systems to potentially convert this project into a carbonate fuel cell project. For more information about our restructuring plans, please see Note 5 — Impairment and Restructuring to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Backlog

Table of Contents

Backlog by revenue category is as follows:

● Service agreements backlog totaled $~~169~~159.4 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to $~~178~~172.43 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. Service agreements backlog includes future contracted revenue from maintenance and scheduled module exchanges for power plants under service agreements. ~~During~~Since ~~the~~January ~~three months ended July~~ 31, 2025, the Company entered into a LTSA with CGN~~-Yulchon~~ ~~Generation Co., Ltd.~~ (the “CGN LTSA”) for ~~CGN’s Yulchon facility in Korea (~~the “CGN Platform”). The contract value ~~totaled approximately $31.7 million,~~ of ~~which approximately $7.7 million was allocated to service backlog at~~ the ~~time of the execution of the LTSA and will be recognized as revenue as the Company performs service at the~~ CGN ~~Platform over the term of the~~ LTSA. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into a LTSA with GGE with respect to GGE’s 58.8 MW fuel cell power platform in Hwaseong-si, Korea (the “GGE Platform”). The contract value totaled approximately $~~159~~31.67 million, of which approximately $337.67 million was allocated to service backlog at the time of the execution of the CGN LTSA and is being recognized as revenue as the Company performs service at the ~~GGE~~CGN Platform over the term of the CGN LTSA.

● Generation backlog totaled $~~955~~939.05 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to $~~839~~997.54 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. Generation backlog represents future contracted energy sales under ~~contracted~~ PPAs or approved utility tariffs. During the nine months ended July 31, 2025, the Company entered into a 20-year PPA with Eversource and United Illuminating, pursuant to which the Company will build and operate a 7.4 MW carbonate fuel cell power plant in Hartford, Connecticut (the “Hartford Project”). The electricity generated by the plant will be sold to Eversource and United Illuminating. The revenue over the contract term is expected to total approximately $167.4 million, which has been added to Generation backlog.

● Product backlog totaled $9654.21 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to $~~136~~111.72 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. Product backlog decreased ~~during~~from ~~the~~January ~~period ended July~~ 31, 2025 primarily as a result of the product backlog that was recognized as revenue as the Company completed commissioning of certain replacement modules for the GGE Platform. Under the LTSA with GGE (the “GGE LTSA”), commissioning of ~~the~~28 ~~first six~~ 1.4-MW replacement fuel cell modules was completed inprior to the ~~fourth~~end ~~quarter~~ of fiscal year ~~2024,~~2025. ~~and~~The Company completed the commissioning of an2 additional ~~twelve 1.4-MW~~ replacement ~~fuel cell~~ modules ~~was~~for ~~completed~~GGE induring the first ~~nine~~quarter ~~months~~ of fiscal year ~~2025~~2026.

Partially offsetting ~~this~~the decrease ~~was~~in ~~the~~product ~~LTSA~~backlog ~~with~~was the CGN LTSA, which added $24.0 million to product backlog (representing 8 replacement modules) during the ~~third~~fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, of which $6.0 million was recognized as revenue for the commissioning of 2 replacement modules for the CGN Platform during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The remaining 6 replacement modules are currently scheduled for commissioning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.

● Advanced Technologies contract backlog totaled $2418.32 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to $4231.56 million as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025. Advanced Technologies contract backlog primarily represents remaining revenue under our Joint Development Agreement with EMTEC, ~~revenue under a purchase order from Esso valued at $15.6 million (which includes a $4.0 million increase due to two change orders executed during the first nine months of fiscal year 2025),~~ and remaining revenue under our government contracts.

Overall, backlog ~~increased~~decreased by approximately 410.08% to $1.2417 billion as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to $1.2031 billion as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2024~~2025, primarily as a result of ~~the~~revenue ~~Hartford~~recognition ~~Project,~~over the ~~LTSA with CGN with respect to the CGN Platform~~period, ~~and~~partially ~~the~~offset ~~LTSA~~by ~~with~~new ~~GGE~~contract ~~with respect to the GGE Platform~~backlog.

The CGN Platform is comprised of four SureSource 3000 molten carbonate fuel cells (each a “CGN Plant”). Each CGN Plant is comprised of two carbonate fuel cell modules. Pursuant to the ~~LTSA between~~ CGN ~~and the Company (the “CGN~~ LTSA”), CGN and the Company have agreed that (i) CGN will purchase from the Company eight carbonate fuel cell modules to replace existing fuel cell modules at the CGN Platform, (ii) the Company will provide certain balance of plant replacement components if and to the extent the parties reasonably determine existing components should be replaced, and (iii) the Company will provide long term operations and maintenance services for the CGN Platform. The total amount payable by CGN under the CGN LTSA for the eight replacement fuel cell modules, balance of plant replacement components, and service is $31.7 million USD, with payments being made and to be made over time as such replacement fuel cell modules are commissioned and the service obligations under the CGN LTSA for such CGN Plants commence. This amount was recorded as backlog concurrent with the execution of the CGN LTSA on July 30, 2025 and has since been reduced as revenue has been recognized under the CGN LTSA, which commenced in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

The GGE Platform is comprised of 21 SureSource 3000 molten carbonate fuel cells (each a “GGE Plant”). Each GGE Plant is comprised of two 1.4-MW carbonate fuel cell modules. Pursuant to the GGE LTSA, GGE and the Company have agreed that (i) GGE will purchase from the Company 42 1.4-MW carbonate fuel cell modules to replace existing fuel cell modules at the GGE Platform, (ii) the Company will provide certain balance of plant replacement components if and to the extent the parties reasonably determine existing components should be replaced, and (iii) the Company will provide long term operations and maintenance services for the GGE Platform. The total amount payable by GGE under the GGE LTSA for the 42 replacement fuel cell modules, balance of plant replacement components, and service was $159.6 million USD, with payments being made and to be made over time as such replacement fuel cell modules are commissioned and the service obligations under the GGE LTSA for such GGE Plants commence.

Backlog represents definitive agreements executed by the Company and our customers. Projects for which we have an executed PPA are included in generation backlog, which represents future revenue under long-term PPAs. The Company’s ability to recognize revenue in the future under a PPA is subject to the Company’s completion of construction of the project covered by such PPA. Should the Company not complete the construction of the project covered by a PPA, it will forgo future revenues with respect to the project and may incur penalties and/or impairment charges related to the project. Projects sold to customers (and not retained by the Company) are included in product sales and service agreements backlog, and the related generation backlog is removed upon sale. Together, the service and generation portion of backlog had a weighted average term of approximately 16 years as of July 31, 2025, with weighting based on the dollar amount of backlog and utility service contracts of up to 20 years in duration at inception.

Factors that may impact our liquidity

Factors that may impact our liquidity in fiscal year ~~2025~~2026 and beyond include:

● The Company’s cash on hand and access to additional liquidity. As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $~~174~~311.78 million. There were no outstanding U.S. Treasury Securities as of July 31, 2025 as all U.S. Treasury Securities that were outstanding during the nine month period ended July 31, 2025 matured prior to July 31, 2025.

● We ~~bid~~manage production rate based on ~~large~~contracted ~~projects~~demand and project schedules. Changes to production rate take time to implement. We operated at an annualized production rate of 32.6 MW for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to an annualized production rate of approximately 31.2 MW for the three months ended January 31, 2025. This increase in ~~diverse~~annualized ~~markets~~production ~~that~~rate ~~can~~is ~~have~~primarily ~~long~~due ~~decision~~to ~~cycles~~increasing ~~and~~our ~~uncertain~~production ~~outcomes~~levels in our Torrington facility based on contracted demand.

● We manage production rate based on contracted demand and project schedules. Changes to production rate take time to implement. We operated at an annualized production rate of 30.5 MW for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, compared to an annualized production rate of approximately 31.1 MW for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. This decrease in annualized production rate is primarily due to managing our production levels in our Torrington facility based on contracted demand.

●

As project sizes and the number of projects evolve, project cycle times may increase. We may need to make significant up-front investments of resources in advance of the receipt of any cash from the financing or sale of our projects. These amounts include development costs, interconnection costs, costs associated with posting of letters of credit, bonding or other forms of security, and engineering, permitting, legal, and other expenses.

● The amount of accounts receivable and unbilled receivables as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and October 31, ~~2024~~2025 was $~~108~~144.15 million ($5384.49 million of which is classified as “Other assets”) and $76135.91 million ($2882.31 million of which is classified as “Other assets”), respectively. Unbilled accounts receivable represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer under the terms of the underlying contracts. Such costs have been funded with working capital and the unbilled amounts are expected to be billed and collected from customers once we meet the billing criteria under the contracts. Our accounts receivable balances may fluctuate as of any balance sheet date depending on the timing of individual contract milestones and progress on completion of our projects.

Table of Contents

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, the Company entered into the GGE LTSA with respect to the GGE Platform. The contract value totaled approximately $159.6 million, of which approximately $33.6 million was allocated to service at the time of the execution of the GGE LTSA and is being recognized as revenue as the Company performs service at the GGE Platform over the term of the GGE LTSA. The portion of the contract allocated to product sales was approximately $126.0 million at the time of the execution of the GGE LTSA, which equates to approximately $3.0 million per module for each of the 42 modules. The GGE LTSA was structured such that the total consideration for each module is payable over the seven-year term of the GGE LTSA with respect to such module. As a result, an unbilled asset value is created upon each module installation until such time as full payment is received over the seven-year term of the GGE LTSA with respect to such module. Thus, we expect the unbilled receivables to increase as the modules are installed. In return for extended payment terms related to the module product sales, the Company received security rights on each module which provides the opportunity for working capital financing.

In ~~the~~October ~~fourth~~2024 ~~quarter~~and ofNovember ~~fiscal year 2024~~2025, we received working capital financing in an aggregate gross amount of $35.1 million from the Export-Import Bank of the United States to support the Company’s obligations under the GGE LTSA, and we entered into a promissory ~~note~~notes and related security agreements securing the ~~loan~~loans with equipment liens~~, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $10~~.1 ~~million.~~ As we continue to fulfill our obligations under the GGE LTSA, we continue to seek additional working capital financing from certain financing institutions. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such working capital financing on acceptable terms, when needed, or at all.

● The amount of total inventory as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 was $107.3 million ($2.7 million is classified as long-term inventory) and $116.4 million ($2.7 million is classified as long-term inventory), respectively, which includes work in process inventory totaling $71.0 million and $80.5 million, respectively. Work in process inventory can generally be deployed rapidly while the balance of our inventory requires further manufacturing prior to deployment. To execute on our business plan, we must produce fuel cell modules and procure balance of plant (“BOP”) components in required volumes to support our planned construction schedules and potential customer contractual requirements. As a result, we may manufacture modules or acquire BOP components in advance of receiving payment for such activities. This may result in fluctuations in inventory and cash as of any given balance sheet date.32

During the nine months ended July 31, 2025, we utilized short term cash to build our inventory of modules to be shipped to Korea under the GGE LTSA. We have recognized revenue for the twelve modules shipped during the nine months ended July 31, 2025, and we expect to continue to recognize revenue from additional module shipments during the remainder of fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2026. During the nine months ended July 31, 2025, we also used short term cash to build our inventory of modules to be shipped to Korea under the CGN LTSA and to build project inventory as part of our safe harbor strategy for certain U.S. projects.

● The amount of total project assets as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 was $224.5 million and $242.1 million, respectively. Project assets consist of capitalized costs for fuel cell projects that are operating and producing revenue or are under construction. Project assets as of July 31, 2025 consisted of $223.8 million of completed, operating installations and $0.7 million of projects in development. As of July 31, 2025, we had 62.8 MW of operating project assets that generated $35.8 million of revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2025.

● As of July 31, 2025, the Company had one project - the 7.4 MW Hartford Project - under development, which is expected to be completed by the end of calendar year 2026. As of July 31, 2025, we estimate the total remaining investment in project assets to build out the Hartford Project to be in the range of approximately $34.0 million to $36.0 million through calendar year 2026. To fund expected remaining project expenditures, the Company expects to use unrestricted cash on hand and to seek sources of construction financing. In addition, once the project becomes operational, the Company will seek to obtain permanent financing (tax equity and debt), or to sell this project to a third party. For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, capitalized project asset expenditures were $3.8 million.

● Certain of our PPAs for project assets in our generation operating portfolio expose us to fluctuating fuel price risks as well as the risk of being unable to procure the required amounts of fuel and the lack of alternative available fuel sources. We seek to mitigate our fuel risk using strategies including: (i) fuel cost reimbursement mechanisms in our PPAs to allow for pass through of fuel costs (full or partial) where possible, which we have done with our 14.9 MW operating project in Bridgeport, CT (the “Bridgeport Fuel Cell Project”); (ii) procuring fuel under fixed price physical supply contracts with investment grade counterparties, which we have done for twenty years for our Tulare BioMAT project, for the initial seven years of the twenty year PPA for our LIPA Yaphank Project (through September 2028), for six years of the twenty year PPA for our 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects (through October 2029), and for the initial three years of the twenty year hydrogen production and power purchase agreement for our Toyota Project (through May 2026); and (iii) potentially entering into future financial hedges with investment grade counterparties to offset potential negative market fluctuations.

Solid Oxide Platforms: Through fiscal year 2024, the Company invested in product development and manufacturing scale up for two solid oxide platforms: power generation and electrolysis. With the restructuring actions announced in November 2024 and June 2025, the Company has ceased development of the power generation platform and is focusing on demonstrating the capabilities of our electrolysis platform.33

In November 2024 and June 2025, the Company announced global restructuring plans relating to our operations in the U.S., Canada, and Germany that aim to reduce operating costs, realign resources toward advancing the Company’s core carbonate technologies, and protect the Company’s competitive position amid slower-than-expected market investments in clean energy. These restructuring plans also include the deferment and cancelation of certain previously planned capital and project expenditures related to solid oxide manufacturing in our facility in Calgary, Canada. As a result of these restructuring plans, we have deferred the capital spending required to complete the Calgary expansion and do not currently expect to complete this project. For more information about our restructuring plans, please see Note 5 — Impairment and Restructuring to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lastly, the Company is in the process of examining or actively applying for various financial programs offered by the United States to provide subsidies, investment tax credits and other assistance with the goal of expanding capacity for clean energy manufacturing.

●view Company-funded research and development expenses are expected to be in the range between $35.0 million and $40.0 million for fiscal year 2025. Our expected expenses for the fiscal year have been reduced (from a range of $40.0 million to $45.0 million as of the beginning of fiscal year 2025) as a result of our June 2025 restructuring plan. During the nine months ended July 31, 2025, we incurred a total of $28.6 million of Company-funded research and development expenses as we continued to focus on ~~accelerating~~natural ~~the~~gas ~~commercialization~~or ofother ~~our~~commodity ~~distributed~~pricing ~~power generation, distributed hydrogen generation~~ and ~~carbon~~seeks ~~capture~~commercially ~~solutions.~~available ~~The~~means ~~Company continues~~ to ~~advance~~reduce ~~its~~commodity ~~solid oxide technology platform in collaboration with Idaho National Laboratory (“INL”) on the high-efficiency electrolysis system demonstration~~exposure. ~~This~~If ~~demonstration program is being undertaken in conjunction with~~ the ~~U.S. Department of Energy and is intended as a stepping stone for a system level field demonstration of the~~ Company’s ~~high efficiency solid oxide technology platform.

The Company has also developed plans to site future final assembly and conditioning facilities in alternate locations, to the extent supported by future demand. We believe this “hub and spoke” model will enable these processes to be optimized closer to customer locations with the potential to reduce logistics cost, lead time and operating costs including the cost of fuel required for conditioning. This “hub and spoke” model can also free up space to further scale cell manufacturing in the Torrington facility above 350 MW. The Company has experience with localized final assembly and conditioning in both South Korea and Germany. Beyond the Torrington facility, the Company also has plans to develop high volume cell manufacturing facilities in the future in size ranges of 500 MW to 1 GW and above as supported by future demand. Other than the estimated capital expenditures described above, the Company has not committed funding to these expansion plans. As part of our expansion planning, we are reviewing various assistance and financial programs offered by municipalities, states and the federal government in the United States to provide subsidies, investment tax credits and other assistance programs to potentially off-set future investments by the Company.

Company-funded research and development expenses are expected to be in the range between $35.0 million and $40.0 million for fiscal year 2026. During the three months ended January 31, 2026, we incurred a total of $7.0 million of Company-funded research and development expenses as we continue to focus on accelerating the commercialization of our distributed hydrogen generation. Demonstration of our solid oxide electrolysis platform is being undertaken at Idaho National Laboratory (“INL”) in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy and is intended as a steppingstone for a system level field demonstration of our solid oxide electrolysis platform. The demonstration unit was shipped to and arrived at INL in January 2025 and is fully installed. It is currently being tested by the Company and INL. We expect this solid oxide electrolysis platform will demonstrate its capabilities in the hydrogen generation market and are seeking partners to advance the commercialization and deployment of this technology. Finally, the Company will continue making targeted investments in product enhancements of our carbonate platform including advancing efficiency, power output and life as well as advancing commercial demonstrations of carbon capture and carbon recovery platforms.

●

Under the terms of certain contracts, the Company provides and will provide performance security for future contractual obligations. As of January 31, 2026, we had pledged approximately $67.8 million of our cash and cash equivalents as collateral for performance security and for letters of credit for certain banking requirements and contracts. This balance may increase with a growing backlog and installed fleet.

The Company’s ability to continue to implement cost saving measures if sales activities do not occur when expected. The Company made in fiscal year 2024 and continued to make in 2025 certain downward adjustments to expected spending as a result of the slower-than-expected pace of market developments, and in September 2024, November 2024, and June 2025, as part of its cost saving measures, the Company also eliminated jobs in certain areas, reducing its workforce by approximately 39% in the aggregate. The Company expects to continue to focus its strategy to respond to market conditions, which may result in additional spending and headcount reductions in future periods.

Sources and Uses of Cash and Investments

In order to consistently produce positive cash flow from operations, we need to increase order flow to support higher production levels, leading to lower costs on a per unit basis. We also continue to invest in new product and market development and, as a result, we are not generating positive cash flow from our operations. Our principal sources of cash have been proceeds from the sale of our products and projects, electricity generation revenues, research and development

The Derby Senior Back Leverage Lenders and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Lender are referred to collectively as the “Derby Back Leverage Lenders.”

Derby Holdco Borrower’s obligations under the Derby Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on all of Derby Holdco Borrower’s assets, consisting principally of its Class B Member Interests (the “Derby Class B Interests”) in Derby Fuel Cell Holdco, LLC (the “Derby Tax Equity Holdco”).

At the closing (the “Derby Closing”) of each of the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility, which occurred simultaneously on April 25, 2024 (the “Derby Closing Date”), the entire amount of each of the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility was drawn down in the aggregate amount of $13.0 million. After payment of fees and transaction costs (including fees to the Derby Back Leverage Lenders and legal costs) of approximately $0.2 million in the aggregate, the remaining proceeds of approximately $12.8 million were used as follows: (i) approximately $0.9 million was used to fund debt service and module replacement reserve accounts (“DSCR Reserve Accounts”) for the Derby Senior Back Leverage Lenders in amounts of approximately $0.6 million for Liberty Lender and approximately $0.3 million for Green Bank Lender; (ii) approximately $0.4 million was used to fund a DSCR Reserve Account for the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Lender; and (iii) the remaining amount of approximately $11.5 million was released to Parent from the Derby Back Leverage Lenders. Additionally, the Company incurred legal fees of approximately $0.2 million in relation to the financing that was not deducted from the debt proceeds.

The Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan will accrue interest on the unpaid principal amount calculated from the date of such Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan until the maturity date at a rate per annum equal to 7.25%. Quarterly principal amortization and interest payments are required to be made by Derby Holdco Borrower on the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan based on a seven-year amortization period. The Derby Senior Back Leverage Loans have a seven-year term, maturing on March 31, 2031.

The Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan will accrue interest on the unpaid principal amount calculated from the date of such Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan until the maturity date at a rate per annum equal to 8%. Pursuant to the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility, during the “Derby Interest Only Period” (as defined below), Derby Holdco Borrower is required to make quarterly payments of interest only until June 30, 2031. Following the end of the “Derby Interest Only Period,” principal and interest payments are required to be made quarterly in quarterly level payments (“mortgage style”) of principal and interest until the maturity date on March 31, 2038.

Each of the Derby Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement contains certain reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants which are customary for transactions of this type. Included in the covenants are covenants that: (i) Derby Holdco Borrower maintain a “Senior” debt service coverage ratio (which is computed taking into account debt service obligations on the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loans) of not less than 1.25:1.00 (based on the trailing 12 months and tested every quarter) and a “Total” debt service coverage ratio (which is computed taking into account debt service obligations on both the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loans and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan) of not less than 1.10:1.00 (based on the trailing 12 months and tested on a quarterly basis); (ii) Derby Holdco Borrower may make distributions or dividends only if the foregoing debt to equity coverage ratios have been satisfied and Derby Holdco Borrower is not in default under any provisions of either the Derby Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement or the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement, including having made all required deposits into reserve accounts; (iii) Derby Holdco Borrower is required to exercise its right under the Derby Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement to acquire the Derby Class A Interests from Franklin Park during the ninety day period beginning on the “Flip Point” (which, pursuant to the Derby Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement, is the date on which the holder of Derby Class A Interests has realized a certain return on investment and, accordingly, Derby Holdco Borrower, as holder of the Derby Class B Interests, has the right to purchase the Derby Class A Interests); and (iv) the consent of the Senior Administrative Agent is required prior to Derby Holdco Borrower’s taking certain material actions under the Derby Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement. Each of the Derby Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and customary events of default that cause, or entitle the Derby Back Leverage Lenders to cause, the outstanding loans to become immediately due and payable. In addition to customary events of default for transactions of this kind, the events of default include if a Change of Control occurs (meaning Parent no longer directly or indirectly owns Derby Holdco Borrower), a cross default (meaning that a default under the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility shall be deemed a default under the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility and vice versa) or if CLPC should become insolvent, is in bankruptcy or commits a specified number of payment defaults with regard to its payment obligations to the Derby Project Companies.

The Derby Senior Back Leverage Loans may be prepaid at any time at the option of Derby Holdco Borrower provided that (i) each prepayment on or prior to the second anniversary of the Derby Closing Date shall require a prepayment fee of 3% of the principal amount being prepaid; (ii) each prepayment after the second anniversary of the Derby Closing Date but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Derby Closing Date shall require a prepayment fee of 2% of the principal amount being prepaid; and (iii) each prepayment after the fourth anniversary of the Derby Closing Date but on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Derby Closing Date shall require a prepayment fee of 1% of the principal amount being prepaid. The Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. 38

OpCo Financing Facility

On May 19, 2023, FuelCell Energy Opco Finance 1, LLC (“OpCo Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FCEF, which, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, entered into a Financing Agreement (as amended, the “Financing Agreement”) with, by and among Investec Bank plc in its capacities as a lender (“Investec Lender”), administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”), and collateral agent (“Collateral Agent”); Investec, Inc. as coordinating lead arranger and sole bookrunner; Bank of Montreal (Chicago Branch) in its capacity as a lender (“BMO Lender”) and as mandated lead arranger; and each of Liberty Bank, Amalgamated Bank and Connecticut Green Bank as lenders (collectively with Investec Lender and BMO Lender, the “Lenders”) for a term loan facility in an amount not to exceed $80.5 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and such term loan, the “Term Loan”) and a letter of credit facility in an amount not to exceed $6.5 million (the “LC Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “OpCo Financing Facility”).

OpCo Borrower’s obligations under the Financing Agreement are secured by Parent’s interest in six operating fuel cell generation projects: (i) the Bridgeport Fuel Cell Project, located in Bridgeport, Connecticut; (ii) the Central CT State University Project, located in New Britain, Connecticut; (iii) the Pfizer Project, located in Groton, Connecticut; (iv) the LIPA Yaphank Project, located in Long Island, New York; (v) the Riverside Regional Water Quality Control Plant Project, located in Riverside, California; and (vi) the Santa Rita Jail Project, located in Alameda County, California (each, a “Project” and collectively, the “Projects”).

Immediately prior to the closing on the OpCo Financing Facility, which closing occurred on May 19, 2023, Parent caused to be transferred to OpCo Borrower all of the outstanding equity interests in: (i) Bridgeport Fuel Cell, LLC (the “Bridgeport Project Company”), the entity that owns the Bridgeport Fuel Cell Project; (ii) New Britain Renewable Energy, LLC (the “CCSU Project Company”), the entity that owns the Central CT State University Project; (iii) Groton Fuel Cell 1, LLC (the “Pfizer Project Company”), the entity that owns the Pfizer Project; (iv) Riverside Fuel Cell, LLC (the “Riverside Project Company”), the entity that owns the Riverside Regional Water Quality Control Plant Project; (v) SRJFC, LLC (the “Santa Rita Project Company”), the entity that owns the Santa Rita Jail Project; and (vi) Fuel Cell YT Holdco, LLC (the “Class B Member”), the entity that owns Parent’s Class B membership interest in YTBFC Holdco, LLC (the “Yaphank Tax Equity Partnership”), the tax equity partnership with Renewable Energy Investors, LLC (the “Class A Member”), as tax equity investor, which Yaphank Tax Equity Partnership, in turn, owns Yaphank Fuel Cell Park, LLC (the “Yaphank Project Company”), the entity that owns the LIPA Yaphank Project.

At the time of closing on the OpCo Financing Facility: (i) the Bridgeport Fuel Cell Project was encumbered by senior and subordinated indebtedness to Liberty Bank, Fifth Third Bank and Connecticut Green Bank in the aggregate amount of approximately $11.4 million; and (ii) the Pfizer Project, the Riverside Regional Water Quality Control Plant Project and the Santa Rita Jail Project were subject to sale and leaseback transactions and agreements with PNC Energy Capital, LLC (“PNC”) in which the lease buyout amounts, including sales taxes, were approximately $15.7 million, $3.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. In connection with closing on the OpCo Financing Facility, all of the foregoing indebtedness and lease buyout amounts were repaid and extinguished with proceeds of the Term Loan and funds of approximately $7.3 million that were released from restricted and unrestricted reserve accounts held at PNC at the time of closing, resulting in the applicable project companies re-acquiring ownership of the three leased projects from PNC, the termination of the agreements with PNC related to the sale-leaseback transactions, and the termination of the senior and subordinated credit agreements with, the related promissory notes issued to, and the related pledge and security agreements with, Liberty Bank, Fifth Third Bank and Connecticut Green Bank related to the Bridgeport Fuel Cell Project. Further, in connection with the closing on the OpCo Financing Facility and the termination of the senior and subordinated credit agreements with Liberty Bank, Fifth Third Bank and Connecticut Green Bank related to the Bridgeport Fuel Cell Project, Fifth Third Bank and the Bridgeport Project Company agreed that the obligations arising out of the swap transactions contemplated by their related interest rate swap agreement were terminated and waived and the swap agreement was effectively terminated. In addition, in connection with closing on the OpCo Financing Facility, proceeds of the Term Loan were used to repay a portion of Parent’s long-term indebtedness to Connecticut Green Bank in the amount of approximately $1.8 million.

Taking into consideration~~ the ~~release~~amount of ~~such funds, the total net proceeds to the Company from these transactions were~~ approximately $~~46.~~1.8 million.

At the closing, $80.5 million, the entire amount of the Term Loan portion of the OpCo Financing Facility, was drawn down. After payment of fees and transaction costs (including fees to the Lenders and legal costs) of approximately $2.9 million in the aggregate, the remaining proceeds of approximately $77.6 million were used as follows: (i) approximately $15.0 million was used (in addition to the approximately $7.3 million released from restricted and unrestricted reserve accounts held at PNC) to pay the lease buyout amounts and sales taxes referred to above and to re-acquire the three projects owned by PNC as referred to above; (ii) approximately $11.4 million was used to extinguish the indebtedness to Liberty Bank, Fifth Third Bank, and Connecticut Green Bank relating to the Bridgeport Fuel Cell Project; (iii) approximately $1.8 million was used to repay a portion of Parent’s long-term indebtedness to Connecticut Green Bank; (iv) $14.5 million was used to fund a capital expenditure reserve account required to be maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement (which is classified as restricted cash on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets); and (v) approximately $34.9 million was distributed to Parent for use as Parent determines in its sole discretion. In addition, in connection with the extinguishment of the Company’s indebtedness to Liberty Bank and Fifth Third Bank referred to above, approximately $11.2 million of restricted cash was released to the Company from Liberty Bank and Fifth Third Bank. Taking into consideration the release of such funds, the total net proceeds to the Company from these transactions were approximately $46.1 million.

The Term Loan portion of the OpCo Financing Facility will accrue interest on the unpaid principal amount calculated from the date of such Term Loan until the maturity date thereof at a rate per annum during each Interest Period (as defined in the Financing Agreement) for such Term Loan equal to (A) with respect to SOFR Rate Loans, (i) the Adjusted Daily Compounded SOFR for such Interest Period with respect to SOFR Rate Loans plus (ii) the Applicable Margin, and (B) with respect to Base Rate Loans, (i) the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus (ii) the Applicable Margin (in each case as defined in the Financing Agreement). The Applicable Margin for SOFR Rate Loans is 2.5% for the first four years of the term and thereafter, 3%. The Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans is 1.5% for the first four years of the term and thereafter, 2%. At the closing, in connection with the draw down of the entire amount of the Term Loan, OpCo Borrower elected to make such draw down a SOFR Rate Loan with an initial Interest Period of three months. After the initial Interest Period of three months, OpCo Borrower may elect both the applicable Interest Period (i.e., one month, three months or six months) and whether the Term Loan will be treated as a SOFR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan for such Interest Period. Interest payments are required to be made quarterly.

Quarterly principal amortization obligations are also required to be made (based on 17-year principal amortization designed to be fully repaid in 2039), with quarterly amortization payments based on a 1.30x debt service coverage ratio sizing based on contracted cash flows (before giving effect to module replacement expenses and module replacement drawdown releases). The Term Loan has a seven-year term, maturing on May 19, 2030.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement, OpCo Borrower is required to maintain a capital expenditures reserve to pay for expected module replacements. The total reserve balance is required to reach $29.0 million, $14.5 million of which was funded out of the closing advance of the Term Loan and the remainder of which is to be funded pursuant to an agreed upon funding schedule through cash flows generated by the Projects set forth in the Financing Agreement for the period of June 30, 2023 through December 31, 2029.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement, OpCo Borrower is required to maintain a debt service reserve of not less than six months of the scheduled principal and interest payments. The letter of credit component of the OpCo Financing Facility is for the purpose of obtaining letters of credit to satisfy such obligation; at the closing, an Irrevocable Letter of Credit was issued by Investec Bank plc as the issuing bank in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the amount of $6.5 million to satisfy the debt service reserve funding obligation.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, within 30 days of the financial close of the Financing Agreement, OpCo Borrower was required to enter into one or more hedge transactions, with a Lender or an affiliate thereof pursuant to one or more interest rate agreements, to hedge OpCo Borrower’s interest rate exposure relating to the Term Loan from floating to fixed. Such hedge transactions are required to be in effect at all times during the entire amortization period and have an aggregate notional amount subject to the hedge transactions at any time equal to at least 75% and no more than 105% of the aggregate principal balance of the Term Loan outstanding (taking into account scheduled amortization of the Term Loan).

Upon closing, on May 19, 2023, OpCo Borrower entered into an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement and an ISDA Schedule to the 2002 Master Agreement with Investec Bank plc as a hedge provider, and an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement and an ISDA Schedule to the 2002 Master Agreement with Bank of Montreal (Chicago Branch) as a hedge provider. On May 22, 2023, OpCo Borrower executed the related trade confirmations for these interest rate swap agreements with these hedge providers to protect against adverse price movements in the floating SOFR rate associated with 100% of the aggregate principal balance of the Term Loan outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of such agreements, OpCo Borrower will pay a fixed rate of interest of 3.716%. The net interest rate across the Financing Agreement and the swap transaction is 6.366% in the first four years and 6.866% thereafter. The obligations of OpCo Borrower to the hedge providers under the interest rate swap agreements are treated as obligations under the Financing Agreement and, accordingly, are secured, on a pari passu basis, by the same collateral securing the obligations of OpCo Borrower under the Financing Agreement, which collateral is described below. The Company has not elected hedge accounting treatment and, as a result, the derivative will 40

The Financing Agreement contains certain reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants which are customary for transactions of this type. Included in the covenants are covenants that: (i) the Yaphank Project Company obtain ongoing three year extensions of its current gas agreement; (ii) any annual operating expense budget that exceeds 115% of the Base Case Model (as defined in the Financing Agreement) for that year be approved by the Required Lenders (i.e., Lenders constituting more than 50% of the amounts loaned); (iii) OpCo Borrower maintain a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20:1.00 (based on the trailing 12 months and tested every six months); and (iv) the Class B Member is required to exercise its option to purchase the Class A Member’s interest in the Yaphank Tax Equity Partnership during the six month period following the “Flip Point” as set forth in the limited liability company agreement for the Yaphank Tax Equity Partnership. The Financing Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and customary events of default that cause, or entitle the Lenders to cause, the outstanding loans under the Financing Agreement to become immediately due and payable.

The Term Loan may be prepaid at any time at the option of OpCo Borrower without premium or penalty other than any “liquidation costs” if such prepayment occurs other than at the end of an Interest Period. In addition, there are certain mandatory repayments required under the Financing Agreement, including in connection with any sale or disposition of all of the Projects or of any of the LIPA Yaphank Project, the Bridgeport Fuel Cell Project or the Pfizer Project. If the Company disposes of any of the Riverside Regional Water Quality Control Plant Project, the Santa Rita Jail Project or the Central CT State University Project, OpCo Borrower is required to prepay an amount of the Term Loan based on the then stipulated value of the disposed Project.

Simultaneously with OpCo Borrower entering into the Financing Agreement, FCEF (as pledgor), OpCo Borrower and each of the Bridgeport Project Company, the Pfizer Project Company, the Riverside Project Company, the Santa Rita Project Company, the CCSU Project Company and the Class B Member, each as a subsidiary grantor party and guarantor, entered into an Omnibus Guarantee, Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Investec Bank plc as Collateral Agent, pursuant to which, as collateral for the Term Loan Facility, the LC Facility and the hedge agreements (i) FCEF granted to Collateral Agent a security interest in all of FCEF’s equity interest in OpCo Borrower; (ii) OpCo Borrower granted to Collateral Agent a security interest in all of OpCo Borrower’s assets consisting of its equity interests in the Bridgeport Project Company, the Pfizer Project Company, the Riverside Project Company, the Santa Rita Project Company, the CCSU Project Company and the Class B Member; (iii) each of the Bridgeport Project Company, the Pfizer Project Company, the Riverside Project Company, the Santa Rita Project Company and the CCSU Project Company granted to Collateral Agent a security interest in all of each such entity’s assets consisting principally of the respective generation facilities and project agreements; and (iv) the Class B Member granted to Collateral Agent a security interest in all of such Class B Member’s assets, consisting principally of its equity interest in the Yaphank Tax Equity Partnership. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, each of the subsidiary grantor parties jointly and severally guaranteed payment of all of the obligations secured by the Security Agreement.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Financing Agreement, OpCo Borrower, Investec Bank plc as Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent and Liberty Bank as Depositary Agent entered into a Depositary Agreement (the “Depositary Agreement”) pursuant to which OpCo Borrower established certain accounts at Liberty Bank, all of which were pledged to Collateral Agent as security for the Term Loan Facility, the LC Facility and the hedge agreements, including a Revenue Account; a Debt Service Reserve Account; a Redemption Account (for prepayments); a Capital Expenditure Reserve Account; and a Distribution Reserve Account (in each case as defined in the Depositary Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement and the Depositary Agreement, OpCo Borrower may make quarterly distributions to FCEF and Parent provided that: (i) no Event of Default or Default (in each case as defined in the Financing Agreement) exists under the OpCo Financing Facility; (ii) all reserve accounts have been funded; (iii) no letter of credit loans or unpaid drawings are outstanding with regard to any drawn down letter of credit under the LC Facility; (iv) OpCo Borrower has maintained a greater than 1.20:1.00 debt service coverage ratio for the immediate 12 month period; and (v) no Cash Diversion Event (i.e., certain events that would adversely impact distributions to the Class B Member in connection with the LIPA Yaphank Project, as further defined in the Financing Agreement) has occurred. Beginning with the quarter ending June 2025 and continuing until the quarter ending March 2026, prior to making contributions to the Debt Service Reserve Account or the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account or having funds available for distribution, out of operating cash flow, OpCo Borrower is required to make a quarterly payment to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) in the amount of $675,000 per quarter to be applied to outstanding principal.

As additional context concerning the relationship among the parties with respect to the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility and the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility more fully described below, on December 16, 2022, the Groton Project Company and Parent entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement (the “Groton Amended and Restated PPA”) with Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Cooperative (“CMEEC”), pursuant to which the Groton Project Company agreed to sell to CMEEC, and CMEEC agreed to purchase from the Groton Project Company, all of the electricity output produced by the Groton Project pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Groton Amended and Restated PPA.

At the closing (the “Groton Closing”) of each of the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility and the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility, which occurred simultaneously on August 18, 2023 (the “Groton Closing Date”), the entire amount of each of the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility and the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility was drawn down in the aggregate amount of $20.0 million. After payment of fees and transaction costs (including fees to the Groton Back Leverage Lenders and legal costs) of approximately $0.4 million in the aggregate, the remaining proceeds of approximately $19.6 million were used as follows: (i) approximately $1.7 million was used to fund debt service reserve accounts (“DSCR Reserve Accounts”) for the Groton Senior Back Leverage Lenders in equal amounts of approximately $0.83 million for Liberty Lender and approximately $0.83 million for Amalgamated Lender; (ii) approximately $6.5 million was used to fund operations and maintenance and module replacement reserve accounts for the Groton Senior Back Leverage Lenders in equal amounts of approximately $3.25 million for Liberty Lender and approximately $3.25 million for Amalgamated Lender; (iii) approximately $0.3 million was used to fund a DSCR Reserve Account for the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Lender; and (iv) the remaining amount of approximately $11.1 million was released to Parent from the Groton Back Leverage Lenders. As discussed in additional detail below, simultaneous with the Groton Closing, a portion of the proceeds were used to: (a) make Output Shortfall Payments (which are cash payments required to be made by the Groton Project Company in the event that the Groton Project produces electricity in any year less than the minimum required amount for such year) totaling approximately $1.3 million, which were deposited into a payment reserve account, and (b) pay approximately $3.0 million to Connecticut Green Bank, which represented payment, in full, of all outstanding obligations under Parent’s loan agreement with Connecticut Green Bank. After taking into account such Output Shortfall Payments and such payment to Connecticut Green Bank, approximately $6.8 million was classified as unrestricted cash on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The portion of the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan provided by Liberty Lender will accrue interest on the unpaid principal amount calculated from the date of such Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan until the maturity date at a rate per annum equal to 6.75%. The portion of the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan provided by Amalgamated Lender will accrue interest on the unpaid principal amount calculated from the date of such Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan until the maturity date thereof at 6.07% during all times at which a “Carbon Offset Event” is not continuing and 7.32% at all times at which a “Carbon Offset Event” has occurred and is continuing. A “Carbon Offset Event” is deemed to occur if Groton Holdco Borrower, Parent or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof does not purchase carbon offsets from an Acceptable Carbon Offset Provider (as defined below) each fiscal year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Annual Carbon Offset Requirement for such fiscal year, which is derived based on a formula equal to the outstanding balance of the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan provided by Amalgamated Lender multiplied by the Groton Project’s annual carbon emissions for such year and divided by the total project costs of the Groton Project, and (ii) the Annual Carbon Offset Cap for such fiscal year, which is $12.66 multiplied by the Annual Carbon Offset Requirement and divided by the Carbon Offset Price for such fiscal year. The “Carbon Offset Price” means the price, per metric ton of carbon dioxide, of the carbon offsets available for purchase from an Acceptable Carbon Offset Provider. An “Acceptable Carbon Offset Provider” is either Climate Vault or any other seller of carbon offsets acceptable to Amalgamated Lender.

Quarterly principal amortization and interest payments are required to be made by Groton Holdco Borrower on the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loans based on a ten-year amortization period. The Groton Senior Back Leverage Loans have a seven-year term, maturing on August 18, 2030, at which time all outstanding principal is due.

The Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 8% for the period of time prior to the “Step Down Date” and, after the “Step Down Date,” at the lesser of 8% or the interest rate on a 10 year U.S. Treasury Note plus 275 basis points (subject to a minimum floor of 5% per annum). The “Step Down Date” is the date on which both of the following events have occurred: Groton Holdco Borrower has purchased East West Bank’s Class A Interests in the Groton Tax Equity Holdco and the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loans have been repaid in full. Interest is payable each quarter based on an agreed upon schedule.

Pursuant to the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility, during the “Groton Interest Only Period” (as defined below), Groton Holdco Borrower is required to make quarterly payments of principal in amounts equal to 50% of excess cash flow available to Groton Holdco Borrower. For purposes of the foregoing, excess cash flow is all excess cash flow of Groton Holdco Borrower after the payment of required principal and interest on the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loans, required deposits in the various reserve accounts, the payment of interest on the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan and payment of Groton Holdco Borrower’s operating expenses. Following the end of the “Groton Interest Only Period,” principal and interest payments are required to be made quarterly in quarterly level payments (“mortgage style”) of principal and interest until the maturity date, which is the first to occur of 20 years following the Groton Project’s commercial operations date and termination of the Groton Amended and Restated PPA. The maturity date of the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility is currently contemplated to be September 30, 2038. The “Groton Interest Only Period” is the period beginning on the Groton Closing Date and ending the first to occur of (i) eighty-four months after the Groton Closing Date; or (ii) the date the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility has been fully repaid.

Each of the Groton Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement and the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement contains certain reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants which are customary for transactions of this type. Included in the covenants are covenants that: (i) Groton Holdco Borrower maintain a “Senior” debt service coverage ratio (which is computed taking into account debt service obligations on the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loans) of not less than 1.20:1.00 (based on the trailing 12 months and tested every quarter) and a “Total” debt service coverage ratio (which is computed taking into account debt service obligations on both the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loans and the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan) of not less than 1.10:1.00 (based on the trailing 12 months and tested on a quarterly basis); (ii) Groton Holdco Borrower may make distributions or dividends only if the foregoing debt to equity coverage ratios have been satisfied and Groton Holdco Borrower is not in default under any provisions of either the Groton Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement or the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement, including having made all required deposits into reserve accounts; (iii) Groton Holdco Borrower is required to exercise its right under the Groton Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement to acquire the Class A Interests from East West Bank during the ninety day period beginning on the “Flip Point” (which, pursuant to the Groton Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement, is the date on which the holder of Class A Interests has realized a certain return on investment and, accordingly, Groton Holdco Borrower, as holder of the Class B Interests, has the right to purchase the Class A Interests); and (iv) the consent of the Senior Administrative Agent is required prior to Groton Holdco Borrower’s taking certain material actions under the Groton Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement. Each of the Groton Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement and the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and customary events of default that cause, or entitle the Groton Back Leverage Lenders to cause, the outstanding loans to become immediately due and payable. In

foregoing debt to equity coverage ratios have been satisfied and Groton Holdco Borrower is not in default under any provisions of either the Groton Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement or the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement, including having made all required deposits into reserve accounts; (iii) Groton Holdco Borrower is required to exercise its right under the Groton Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement to acquire the Class A Interests from East West Bank during the ninety day period beginning on the “Flip Point” (which, pursuant to the Groton Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement, is the date on which the holder of Class A Interests has realized a certain return on investment and, accordingly, Groton Holdco Borrower, as holder of the Class B Interests, has the right to purchase the Class A Interests); and (iv) the consent of the Senior Administrative Agent is required prior to Groton Holdco Borrower’s taking certain material actions under the Groton Tax Equity Holdco limited liability company agreement. Each of the Groton Senior Back Leverage Credit Agreement and the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and customary events of default that cause, or entitle the Groton Back Leverage Lenders to cause, the outstanding loans to become immediately due and payable. In addition to customary events of default for transactions of this kind, the events of default include if a Change of Control occurs (meaning Parent no longer directly or indirectly owns Groton Holdco Borrower), a cross default (meaning that a default under the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility shall be deemed a default under the Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility and vice versa) or if CMEEC should become insolvent, is in bankruptcy or commits a specified number of payment defaults with regard to its payment obligations to the Groton Project Company.

The Groton Senior Back Leverage Loans may be prepaid at any time at the option of Groton Holdco Borrower provided that (i) each prepayment on or prior to the second anniversary of the Groton Closing Date shall require a prepayment fee of 3% of the principal amount being prepaid; (ii) each prepayment after the second anniversary of the Groton Closing Date but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Groton Closing Date shall require a prepayment fee of 2% of the principal amount being prepaid; and (iii) each prepayment after the fourth anniversary of the Groton Closing Date but on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Groton Closing Date shall require a prepayment fee of 1% of the principal amount being prepaid. The Groton Subordinated Back Leverage Loan may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

Finance obligations for sale-leaseback agreements

Several of the Company’s project subsidiaries previously entered into sale-leaseback agreements with PNC and Crestmark for commissioned projects where the Company had entered into a PPA with the site host/end-user of produced power. The Company did not recognize as revenue any of the proceeds received from the lessor that contractually constitute payments to acquire the assets subject to these arrangements. Instead, the sale proceeds received were accounted for as finance obligations. The outstanding finance obligation balance as of both ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and October 31, ~~2024~~2025 was $18.8 million. The outstanding finance obligation for the remaining leases as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 includes $1112.64 million in excess of future required payments which represents imputed interest, not including amounts for the potential repurchase price of the project assets which is based on fair value. The sale-leaseback arrangements with Crestmark include a purchase right for the greater of fair market value or 31% of the purchase price.

State of Connecticut Loan

In November 2015, the Company closed on a definitive Assistance Agreement with the State of Connecticut (the “Assistance Agreement”) and received a disbursement of $10.0 million, which was used for the first phase of the expansion of the Company’s Torrington, Connecticut manufacturing facility. In conjunction with this financing, the Company entered into a $10.0 million promissory note and related security agreements securing the loan with equipment liens and a mortgage on its Danbury, Connecticut location. Interest accrues at a fixed interest rate of 2.0%, and the loan is repayable in monthly installments over 15 years from the date of the first advance, which occurred in November of 2015. Principal payments were deferred for four years from disbursement and began on December 1, 2019. Under the Assistance Agreement, the Company was eligible for up to $5.0 million in loan forgiveness if the Company created 165 full-time positions and retained 538 full-time positions for two consecutive years (as amended from time to time, the “Employment Obligation”) as measured on October 28, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Target Date”). The Assistance Agreement was subsequently amended in April 2017 to extend the Target Date by two years to October 28, 2019.

In January 2019, the Company and the State of Connecticut entered into a Second Amendment to the Assistance Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment extended the Target Date to October 31, 2022 and amended the Employment Obligation to require the Company to continuously maintain a minimum of 538 full-time positions for 24 consecutive months. If the Company met the Employment Obligation, as modified by the Second Amendment, and created an additional 91 full-time positions, the Company would have received a credit in the amount of $2.0 million to be applied against the outstanding balance of the loan. The Second Amendment deleted and canceled the provisions of the Assistance Agreement related to the second phase of the expansion project and the loans related thereto, but the Company had not drawn any funds or received any disbursements under those provisions.

In April 2023, the Company signed a Third Amendment to the Assistance Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment was approved by the State of Connecticut Office of Attorney General on May 18, 2023, and the State of Connecticut Office of Attorney General released, and the Company received, the countersigned Third Amendment on May 24, 2023, at which time the Third Amendment became effective. The Third Amendment further extended the Target Date to October 31, 2024 and amended the Employment Obligation to require the Company to retain 538 full-time positions in Connecticut on or before October 31, 2024 and to maintain such positions for 24 consecutive months. The 24 consecutive month period ending on or before the Target Date (as extended by the Third Amendment) that yielded the highest annual average positions was used to determine compliance with the amended Employment Obligation, provided that no portion of such 24 consecutive months could begin before the date of the Third Amendment.

In April 2023, the Company signed a Third Amendment to the Assistance Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment was approved by the State of Connecticut Office of Attorney General on May 18, 2023, and the State of Connecticut Office of Attorney General released, and the Company received, the countersigned Third Amendment on May 24, 2023, at which time the Third Amendment became effective. The Third Amendment further extended the Target Date to October 31, 2024 and amended the Employment Obligation to require the Company to retain 538 full-time positions in Connecticut on or before October 31, 2024 and to maintain such positions for 24 consecutive months. The 24 consecutive month period ending on or before the Target Date (as extended by the Third Amendment) that yielded the highest annual average positions was to be used to determine compliance with the amended Employment Obligation, provided that no portion of such 24 consecutive months could begin before the date of the Third Amendment. The Third Amendment also requires the Company to furnish a job audit (the “Job Audit”) to the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development (the “Commissioner”) no later than 90 days following the 24-month period described above.

If, as a result of the Job Audit, the Commissioner determines that the Company has failed to meet the Employment Obligation (as amended by the Third Amendment), the Company will be required to immediately repay a penalty of $14,225.00 per each full-time employment position below the amended Employment Obligation. The amount repaid will be applied first to any outstanding fees, penalties or interest due, and then against the outstanding balance of the loan. Based on the Company’s headcount as of October 31, 2024, it did not meet the amended Employment Obligation which subjects the Company to make repayment under these terms.

If, as a result of the Job Audit, the Commissioner were to determine that the Company had met the amended Employment Obligation and had created an additional 91 full-time employment positions, for a total of 629 full-time employees, the Company would be eligible to receive a credit in the amount of $2.0 million, which would be applied against the then-outstanding principal balance of the loan. Upon application of such credit, the Commissioner would recalculate the monthly payments of principal and interest such that such monthly payments would amortize the then remaining principal balance over the remaining term of loan. ~~Based~~However, based on the Company’s headcount as of October 31, 2024, it did not meet the amended Employment Obligation and will not receive this credit.

A Job Audit was to be performed within 90 days of the Target Date of October 31, 2024. Because the Company did not meet the amended Employment Obligation, an accelerated payment penalty will be assessed in an amount equal to $14,225.00 multiplied by the number of full-time employment positions below the number of positions required by the amended Employment Obligation. Such penalty will be immediately payable upon the determination by the Commissioner that the Company has failed to meet the amended Employment Obligation and will be applied first to accelerate the payment of any outstanding fees, penalties or interest due and then to accelerate the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the loan. The Company estimates that it had an average of 389 employees over the applicable 24 consecutive month period. As a result, the Company has calculated a $2.1 million repayment obligation in connection with the loan, which has been reclassified to current and represents the expected accelerated payment penalty amount. As of July 31, 2025, the Company had not been formally assessed a penalty, but since there are no fees, penalties or interest due, any accelerated payment penalty assessed will be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loan and will not result in any charges to the Statement of Operations. As of July 31, 2025, the Company was in discussions with the State of Connecticut regarding a potential amendment to the terms of the Third Amendment to the Assistance Agreement. There can be no assurance that an amendment agreement will be reached with the State of Connecticut or that the terms of any such amendment would include more favorable repayment terms than those to which the Company is subject under the Third Amendment as a result of the failure to meet the Employment Obligation.

During fiscal year 2025, the Company had discussions with the State of Connecticut regarding a potential amendment to the terms of the Third Amendment to the Assistance Agreement but as of January 31, 2026 no agreement had been reached. Until this point, the State of Connecticut has not requested repayment of the obligation amount and the Company continues to make regular principal and interest payments. There can be no assurance that an amendment agreement will be reached with the State of Connecticut or that the terms of any such amendment would include more favorable repayment terms than those to which the Company is subject under the Third Amendment as a result of the failure to meet the Employment Obligation.

In April of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of Connecticut agreed to defer three months of principal and interest payments under the Assistance Agreement, beginning with the May 2020 payment. These deferred payments will be added at the end of the loan, thus extending out the maturity date by three months.

Restricted Cash

As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, we have pledged approximately $6267.28 million of our cash and cash equivalents as performance security and for letters of credit for certain banking requirements and contracts. As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, outstanding letters of credit totaled $1412.27 million. These expire on various dates through October 2029. Under the terms of certain contracts, we will provide performance security for future contractual obligations. The restricted cash balance as of July 31, 2025 also included $2.9 million primarily to support obligations under the power purchase and service agreements related to Crestmark sale-leaseback transactions, $14.0 million relating to future obligations associated with the Groton Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility, $1.8 million relating to future obligations associated with the Derby Senior Back Leverage Loan Facility and the Derby Subordinated Back Leverage Loan Facility and $20.9 million relating to future obligations associated with the OpCo Financing Facility.

Power purchase agreements

Under the terms of our PPAs, customers agree to purchase power or other value streams delivered such as hydrogen, steam, water, and/or carbon from the Company’s fuel cell power platforms at negotiated rates. Electricity rates are generally a function of the customers’ current and estimated future electricity pricing available from the grid. We are responsible for all operating costs necessary to maintain, monitor and repair our fuel cell power platforms. Under certain agreements, we are also responsible for procuring fuel, generally natural gas or biogas, to run our fuel cell power platforms. In addition, under certain agreements, we are required to produce minimum amounts of power under our PPAs and we have the right to terminate PPAs by giving written notice to the customer, subject to certain exit costs. As of January 31, 2026, our generation operating portfolio was 62.8 MW.

Service and warranty agreements

We warranty our products for a specific period of time against manufacturing or performance defects. Our standard U.S. warranty period is generally 15 months after shipment or 12 months after acceptance of the product. In addition to the standard product warranty, we have contracted with certain customers to provide services to ensure the power plants meet minimum operating levels for terms of up to 20 years. Pricing for service contracts is based upon estimates of future costs, which could be materially different from actual expenses. Refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” for additional details.

Advanced Technologies contracts

We have contracted with various government agencies and certain companies from private industry to conduct research and development as either a prime contractor or sub-contractor under multi-year, cost-reimbursement and/or cost-share type contracts or cooperative agreements. Cost-share terms require that participating contractors share the total cost of the project based on an agreed upon ratio. In many cases, we are reimbursed only a portion of the costs incurred or to be incurred under the contract. While government research and development contracts may extend for many years, funding is often provided incrementally on a year-by-year basis if contract terms are met and Congress authorizes the funds. As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, Advanced Technologies contract backlog totaled $2418.32 million, of which $1713.51 million is non-U.S. Government-funded and $65.81 million is U.S. Government-funded.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet debt or similar obligations, which are not classified as debt. We do not guarantee any third-party debt. See Note 1819. “Commitments and Contingencies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, revenue recognition, lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, ~~loss accruals on service agreements,~~ excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventories, product warranty accruals, loss accruals on service agreements, share-based compensation expense, allowance for credit losses, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill and in-process research and development intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets (including project assets), valuation of derivatives, and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from those estimates.

Our critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments on the part of management in their application, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a complete description of our critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 filed with the SEC.46

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Exposure Risk

WeThe ~~have~~Company ~~historically~~began ~~invested~~to invest in U.S. Treasury Securities ~~with~~during ~~maturities~~fiscal ofyear ~~less~~2023. ~~than~~Outstanding ~~three months~~U.S. WeTreasury ~~expect~~Securities towere ~~hold~~classified ~~these~~as ~~investments until~~ held-to-maturity and ~~accordingly,~~were ~~these~~recorded ~~investments are carried~~ at amortized cost ~~and not subject to mark-to-market accounting~~. As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, all of our previously-held U.S. Treasury Securities had matured and the funds received upon maturity were not reinvested.

Cash is invested overnight with high credit quality financial institutions and therefore we are not exposed to market risk on our cash holdings from changing interest rates. Based on our overall interest rate exposure as of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, including all interest rate sensitive instruments, a change in interest rates of 1% would not have a material impact on our results of operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

As of ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026, approximately 1% of our total cash and cash equivalents were in currencies other than U.S. dollars (primarily the Euro, Canadian dollars and Korean Won) and we have no plans of repatriation. We make purchases from certain vendors and receive payment from certain customers in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Although we have not experienced significant foreign exchange rate losses to date, we may in the future, especially to the extent that we do not engage in currency hedging activities. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements on our operating results is complex because such changes are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, may cause us to adjust our financing and operating strategies.

Derivative Fair Value Exposure Risk

Interest Rate Swap

On May 19, 2023, in connection with the closing of the OpCo Financing Facility, the Company entered into an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement and an ISDA Schedule to the 2002 Master Agreement with Investec Bank plc as a hedge provider, and an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement and an ISDA Schedule to the 2002 Master Agreement with Bank of Montreal (Chicago Branch) as a hedge provider. On May 22, 2023, OpCo Borrower executed the related trade confirmations for these interest rate swap agreements with these hedge providers to protect against adverse price movements in the floating SOFR rate associated with 100% of the aggregate principal balance of the Term Loan outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of such agreements, OpCo Borrower will pay a fixed rate of interest of 3.716%. The net interest rate across the Financing Agreement and the swap transaction is 6.366% in the first four years and 6.866% thereafter. The obligations of OpCo Borrower to the hedge providers under the interest rate swap agreements are treated as obligations under the Financing Agreement and, accordingly, are secured, on a pari passu basis, by the same collateral securing the obligations of OpCo Borrower under the Financing Agreement. The Company has not elected hedge accounting treatment and, as a result, the derivative will be remeasured to fair value quarterly with the resulting gains/losses recorded to other income/expense. The fair value adjustments for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~July~~January 31, 2026 and 2025 resulted in gains ~~(losses)~~ of $0.64 million and $(0.2)9 million, respectively.

Project Fuel Price Exposure Risk

Certain of our PPAs for project assets in our generation operating portfolio expose us to fluctuating fuel price risks as well as the risk of being unable to procure the required amounts of fuel and the lack of alternative available fuel sources. We seek to mitigate our fuel risk using strategies including: (i) fuel cost reimbursement mechanisms in our PPAs to allow for pass through of fuel costs (full or partial) where possible, which we have done with our 14.9 MW operating project in Bridgeport, CT; (ii) procuring fuel under fixed price physical supply contracts with investment grade counterparties, which we have done for twenty years for our Tulare BioMAT project, the initial seven years of the twenty year PPA for our LIPA Yaphank Project (through September 2028), six years of the twenty year PPA for our 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects (through October 2029), and the initial three years of the twenty year hydrogen production and power purchase agreement for our Toyota project (through May 2026); and (iii) potentially entering into future financial hedges with investment grade counterparties to offset potential negative market fluctuations. The Company does not take a fundamental view on natural gas or other commodity pricing and seeks commercially available means to reduce commodity exposure. If the Company is unable to secure fuel on favorable economic terms, it may result in impairment charges.

pass through of fuel costs (full or partial) where possible, which we have done with our 14.9 MW operating project in Bridgeport, CT; (ii) procuring fuel under fixed price physical supply contracts with investment grade counterparties, which we have done for twenty years for our Tulare BioMAT project, the initial seven years of the twenty year PPA for our LIPA Yaphank Project (through September 2028), six years of the twenty year PPA for our 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects (through October 2029), and the initial three years of the twenty year hydrogen production and power purchase agreement for our Toyota project (through May 2026); and (iii) potentially entering into future financial hedges with investment grade counterparties to offset potential negative market fluctuations. The Company does not take a fundamental view on natural gas or other commodity pricing and seeks commercially available means to reduce commodity exposure. If the Company is unable to secure fuel on favorable economic terms, it may result in impairment charges.

We currently have four projects with fuel sourcing risk, which are the Toyota Project, our 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects and our 7.4 MW LIPA Yaphank Project, all of which require natural gas for which there is no pass-through mechanism. A fuel supply contract has been executed for the Toyota project through May 2026. Six-year (through October 2029) fuel supply contracts have been executed for the 14.0 MW and 2.8 MW Derby Projects. We are currently in the midst of a seven-year contract (through September 2028) for our 7.4 MW LIPA Yaphank Project. The Company will look to extend the duration of these contracts should market and credit conditions allow. If the Company is unable to secure fuel on favorable economic terms, it may result in impairment charges to the Derby Project assets or the LIPA Yaphank Project asset and further impairment charges for the Toyota Project asset.

Historically, this risk has not been material to our financial statements as our operating projects prior to ~~July~~January 31, ~~2025~~2026 either did not have fuel price risk exposure, had fuel cost reimbursement mechanisms in our related PPAs to allow for pass through of fuel costs (full or partial), or had established long term fixed price physical supply contracts. To provide a meaningful assessment of the fuel price risk arising from price movements of natural gas, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact a change in natural gas commodity pricing would have on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (assuming that all projects with fuel price risk were operating). A $1/Metric Million British Thermal Unit (“MMBTu”) increase in market pricing compared to our underlying project models would result in a cost impact of approximately $26,000 to our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on an annual basis. We have also conducted a sensitivity analysis on the impact of renewable natural gas pricing and a $10/MMBTu increase in market pricing compared to our underlying project models would result in an impact of approximately $2.0 million to our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on an annual basis.

The Company net settled certain natural gas purchases under previous normal purchase normal sale contract designations during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 for one contract and the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 for other contracts, and recorded mark-to-market net gains of $13.06 million and $21.08 million during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~July~~January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to ~~its~~our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2024~~2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2718, ~~2024~~2025 (the “~~2024~~2025 Annual Report”), sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Those risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition and operating results and, accordingly, you should review and consider such risk factors in making any investment decision with respect to our securities. ~~The~~There ~~following~~have ~~risk~~been ~~factor~~no ismaterial ~~being~~changes ~~provided~~ to ~~supplement and update~~ the risk factors ~~set~~previously ~~forth~~disclosed in ~~Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of~~ the ~~2024~~2025 Annual Report.

Our workforce reduction may cause unintended consequences and our results of operations may be harmed.

On June 5, 2025, we implemented a workforce reduction of approximately 22%, or 122 employees across our U.S., Canadian and German operations. While we believe this workforce reduction was necessary to help realign the Company’s cost structure, this reduction may yield unintended consequences, such as attrition beyond our intended reduction in workforce and reduced employee morale, which may cause our employees who were not affected by the reduction in workforce to seek alternate employment. Additional attrition could impede our ability to meet our operational goals, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. In addition, as a result of the reductions in our workforce, we may face an increased risk of employment litigation. Furthermore, employees whose positions were eliminated may seek employment with our competitors. Although all our employees are required to sign a confidentiality and non-competition agreement with us at the time of hire, we cannot assure you that the confidential nature of our proprietary information will be maintained in the course of such future employment.

If our restructuring plan and workforce reduction do not result in the intended benefits or savings or result in unanticipated costs, including, but not limited to, additional charges and/or higher than expected severance and employee termination benefits costs, or if we are unable to successfully implement our restructuring plan, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will not undertake additional reduction and/or restructuring activities, that any of our efforts will be successful, or that we will be able to realize the cost savings and other anticipated benefits from our current or any future restructuring or reduction plans. In addition, if we continue to reduce our workforce, it may adversely impact our ability to respond rapidly to any new product, growth or revenue opportunities and to execute on our backlog and business plans.
