"Our record financial results for 2024 are a
testament to our team's dedication, operational efficiency, and
commitment to delivering value to our stakeholders as we achieved
our highest ever revenue and profitability, marking a significant
milestone in the Company's growth trajectory. Furthermore, we had
our second consecutive quarter of signing more than $1 billion of
new orders, which brought our backlog to $4.5 billion, underscoring
the market's strong confidence in our energy storage solutions,"
said Julian Nebreda, the Company’s President and Chief Executive
Officer. "As we look forward, we see unprecedented demand for
battery energy storage solutions across the world, driven
principally by the U.S. market. We believe we are well positioned
to continue capturing this market with our best-in-class domestic
content offering which utilizes U.S. manufactured battery
cells."
"We are pleased with our strong fiscal year-end
performance, achieving record revenue growth, robust margin
expansion and free cash flow. We also generated positive net income

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present our operating results in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).
We believe certain financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, and Free Cash
Flow, which are non-GAAP measures, provide users of our financial
statements with supplemental information that may be useful in
evaluating our operating performance. We believe that such non-GAAP
measures, when read in conjunction with our operating results
presented under GAAP, can be used to better assess our performance
from period to period and relative to performance of other
companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods,
historical cost basis or capital structure. Such non-GAAP measures
should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute
for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These
measures have limitations as analytical tools, including that other
companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these
measures differently, reducing their usefulness as comparative
measures.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from the
consolidated statements of operations using net income (loss)
adjusted for (i) interest income, net, (ii) income taxes,
(iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based
compensation, and (v) other non-recurring income or expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA also includes amounts impacting net income related
to estimated payments due to related parties pursuant to the Tax
Receivable Agreement, dated October 27, 2021, by and among Fluence
Energy, Inc., Fluence Energy, LLC, Siemens Industry, Inc. and AES
Grid Stability, LLC (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”).
Adjusted Gross Profit is calculated using gross
profit, adjusted to exclude (i) stock-based compensation expenses,
(ii) amortization, and (iii) other non-recurring income or
expenses. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is calculated using Adjusted
Gross Profit divided by total revenue.
Free Cash Flow is calculated from the
consolidated statements of cash flows and is defined as net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchase of
property and equipment made in the period. We expect our Free Cash
Flow to fluctuate in future periods as we invest in our business to
support our plans for growth. Limitations on the use of Free Cash
Flow include (i) it should not be inferred that the entire Free
Cash Flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures (for
example, cash is still required to satisfy other working capital
needs, including short-term investment policy, restricted cash, and
intangible assets); (ii) Free Cash Flow has limitations as an
analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as
net cash provided by operating activities; and (iii) this metric
does not reflect our future contractual commitments.
Please refer to the reconciliations of the
non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures included in this press release and the
accompanying tables contained at the end of this release.
The Company is not able to provide a
quantitative reconciliation of full fiscal year 2025 Adjusted
EBITDA to GAAP Net Income (Loss) on a forward-looking basis within
this press release because of the uncertainty around certain items
that may impact Adjusted EBITDA, including stock compensation and
restructuring expenses, that are not within our control or cannot
be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort.

September 30, 2024, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), and in other filings we make with the SEC from
time to time. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time
and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor
can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our business
or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
any forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from
those projected in these forward-looking statements. You are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements made in this press release. Each forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement,
and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any

occur, or which we become aware of, after the date hereof, except
as otherwise may be required by law.

Deployed
Deployed represents cumulative energy storage
products and solutions that have achieved substantial completion
and are not decommissioned. Deployed is monitored by management to
measure our performance towards achieving project milestones.
Assets Under Management
Assets under management for service contracts
represents our long-term service contracts with customers
associated with our completed energy storage system products and
solutions. We start providing maintenance, monitoring, or other
operational services after the storage product projects are
completed. In some cases, services may be commenced for energy
storage solutions prior to achievement of substantial completion.
This is not limited to energy storage solutions delivered by
Fluence. Assets under management for digital software represents
contracts signed and active (post go live). Assets under management
serves as an indicator of expected revenue from our customers and
assists management in forecasting our expected financial
performance.
Contracted Backlog
For our energy storage products and solutions
contracts, contracted backlog includes signed customer orders or
contracts under execution prior to when substantial completion is
achieved. For service contracts, contracted backlog includes signed
service agreements associated with our storage product projects
that have not been completed and the associated service has not
started. For digital applications contracts, contracted backlog
includes signed agreements where the associated subscription has
not started.
We cannot guarantee that our contracted backlog
will result in actual revenue in the originally anticipated period
or at all. Contracted backlog may not generate margins equal to our
historical operating results. We have only recently begun to track
our contracted backlog on a consistent basis as performance
measures, and as a result, we do not have significant experience in
determining the level of realization that we will achieve on these
contracts. Our customers may experience project delays or cancel
orders as a result of external market factors and economic or other
factors beyond our control. If our contracted backlog fails to
result in revenue as anticipated or in a timely manner, we could
experience a reduction in revenue, profitability, and
liquidity.
Contracted/Order Intake
Contracted, which we use interchangeably with
“order intake”, represents new energy storage product and solutions
contracts, new service contracts and new digital contracts signed
during each period presented. We define “Contracted” as a firm and
binding purchase order, letter of award, change order or other
signed contract (in each case an “Order”) from the customer that is
received and accepted by Fluence. Our order intake is intended to
convey the dollar amount and gigawatts (operating measure)
contracted in the period presented. We believe that order intake
provides useful information to investors and management because the
order intake provides visibility into future revenue and enables
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s sales activity and
the attractiveness of its offerings in the market.
Pipeline
Pipeline represents our uncontracted, potential
revenue from energy storage products and solutions, service, and
digital software contracts, which have a reasonable likelihood of
contract execution within 24 months. Pipeline is an internal
management metric that we construct from market information
reported by our global sales force. Pipeline is monitored by
management to understand the anticipated growth of our Company and
our estimated future revenue related to customer contracts for our
battery-based energy storage products and solutions, services and
digital software.
We cannot guarantee that our pipeline will
result in actual revenue in the originally anticipated period or at
all. Pipeline may not generate margins equal to our historical
operating results. We have only recently begun to track our
pipeline on a consistent basis as performance measures, and as a
result, we do not have significant experience in determining the
level of realization that we will achieve on these contracts. Our
customers may experience project delays or cancel orders as a
result of external market factors and economic or other factors
beyond our control. If our pipeline fails to result in revenue as
anticipated or in a timely manner, we could experience a reduction
in revenue, profitability, and liquidity.
Annual Recurring Revenue
(ARR)
ARR represents the net annualized contracted
value including software subscriptions including initial trial,
licensing, long term service agreements, and extended warranty
agreements as of the reporting period. ARR excludes one-time fees,
revenue share or other revenue that is non-recurring and variable.
The Company believes ARR is an important operating metric as it
provides visibility to future revenue. It is important to
management to increase this visibility as we continue to expand.
ARR is not a forecast of future revenue and should be viewed
independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is an
operating metric and is not intended to replace these items.
