Analysis

The stock dropped -10.6% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite highlighted pipeline growth and a larger cash position fits concern over fundamentals. Q2 revenue slipped to $35.6M while net loss widened to $(77.6)M, and backlog fell to about $1.14B. Recent history already showed modest weakness following mixed Q1 results, so investors may have focused on recurring losses and continued equity issuance, questioning how quickly growth turns into sustainable profitability.

Key Terms

power purchase agreement, ppa, ebitda, adjusted ebitda, +3 more
7 terms
power purchase agreement regulatory
"Projects for which we have an executed power purchase agreement (“PPA”) are included..."
A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract in which a buyer agrees to purchase electricity from a generator at an agreed price and schedule, similar to a multi-year subscription for power or a long-term lease of an energy source. Investors care because PPAs provide predictable revenue and cash flow for the generator, reduce market-price exposure, and shift credit and performance risk to the buyer, all of which affect valuation, financing and perceived investment stability.
ppa regulatory
"Projects for which we have an executed power purchase agreement (“PPA”) are included..."
A PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a long-term contract in which a buyer agrees to purchase electricity from a specific generator at agreed prices and terms. Think of it like a multi-year subscription for power that locks in supply and cost, giving the seller steady revenue and the buyer predictable energy costs. Investors care because PPAs reduce revenue uncertainty, help projects get financed, and shift exposure to energy price or supply risks, affecting a company’s cash flow and valuation.
ebitda financial
"EBITDA * | $ | (67,071 | ) | | $ | (24,920 | ) | | 169%"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
View in glossary
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA * | $ | (17,056 | ) | | $ | (19,310 | ) | | (12%)"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
restricted cash financial
"Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $440.9 million..."
Cash that a company holds but cannot use for day-to-day operations because it is set aside for a specific purpose—such as meeting loan covenants, serving as collateral, funding an escrow, or complying with regulations. Like money in a locked savings account earmarked for a bill, restricted cash reduces the cash available to run the business and pay dividends or debts, so investors treat it differently when assessing a company’s true short-term financial strength.
open market sale agreement financial
"shares of the Company’s common stock were sold under the Company’s Open Market Sale Agreement, as amended..."
A contract that lets a shareholder or issuer authorize a broker to sell stock into the public market over time rather than to one specific buyer. Think of it like hiring a salesperson to quietly sell items from your garage in small batches so you don’t crash the price; for investors it matters because it increases supply and liquidity, can put downward pressure on the share price, and signals an upcoming flow of shares into the market.
tape caster technical
"work had begun on installation of a new high-volume tape caster, and a new conditioning room..."
A tape caster is a manufacturing machine that spreads a liquid mix onto a flat surface to make thin, flexible sheets or films used in products like batteries, ceramics, or electronics; think of it as a precise pancake griddle that creates uniform batter layers. Investors care because the device affects production speed, material consistency and cost: having reliable tape casting equipment can enable higher output, better product performance and lower unit costs, which influence profitability and supply reliability.

________________________
1 Pipeline consists of ongoing commercial discussions that range from solutions discussion through contract negotiation and does not represent signed agreements. There can be no assurance that these discussions will result in executed contracts or actual sales.

“This past quarter reflected strong commercial momentum and disciplined operational execution across the business, including continued progress on our data center strategy,” said Jason Few, President and CEO of FuelCell Energy. “Our carbonate fuel cell platform was designed from inception as a megawatt-scale distributed generation solution and has been proven through more than two decades of commercial operations. Unlike architectures that aggregate numerous sub-scale units to achieve meaningful output, FuelCell Energy deploys utility-scale energy blocks capable of bringing resilient, continuous power directly to the customer. In effect, we are focused on extending the grid to the data center, enabling customers to accelerate time-to-power, reducing dependence on constrained transmission infrastructure, removing permitting friction, and supporting the growing energy demands of AI-driven compute environments with proven, scalable technology.”

“This past quarter also reflected progress toward expanding the capacity of our Torrington manufacturing facility to support an annualized production rate of up to 500 MW. We believe our balance sheet, including approximately $441 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of April 30, 2026, positions us well to execute on the pipeline opportunities, scale responsibly, and create long-term value for our shareholders and stakeholders.”

Business Updates
During the second quarter, FuelCell Energy announced the introduction of a standardized 12.5 MW FuelCell Energy Block, with the goal of shortening time-to-power for AI and data center developers and enabling rapid deployment of power solutions to grid-constrained markets. The off-the-shelf, standardized, and scalable 12.5 MW on-site power system is designed to address grid bottlenecks directly, with the goal of enabling large data center projects to move forward faster in power-constrained markets.

Similar to the standardized generation capacity increases utilities plan and execute over years, the 12.5 MW FuelCell Energy Block will apply a similar approach to on-site data center power, but on shorter timelines, reducing repeated engineering and integration as projects scale, and eliminating the need for high voltage transmission and other costly infrastructure associated with grid connection.

To address increased product demand from the Company’s growing commercial pipeline and interest in the 12.5 MW Energy Block, the Company has begun work on the previously announced expansion of its Torrington, CT manufacturing facility. In light of increased demand, the previously contemplated capacity expansion to support an annualized production rate of up to 350 MW has been increased, with the target of supporting an annualized production rate of up to 500 MW. The Company estimates that total cost of the expansion will range from $200 to $275 million. The expansion project is expected to be executed over the next twenty four months. As of May 31, 2026, work had begun on installation of a new high-volume tape caster, and a new conditioning room had been commissioned.

Backlog

 As of April 30,  
(Amounts in thousands) 2026   2025  Change
Product$36,115 $98,184 $(62,069)
Service 155,350  164,417  (9,067)
Generation 928,482  967,388  (38,906)
Advanced Technologies 15,440  29,608  (14,168)
Total Backlog$1,135,387 $1,259,597 $(124,210)


Overall, backlog decreased by approximately 9.9% to $1.14 billion as of April 30, 2026, compared to $1.26 billion as of April 30, 2025, primarily as a result of revenue recognized over the period from April 30, 2025 through April 30, 2026, partially offset by new contract backlog.

Backlog represents definitive agreements executed by the Company and our customers. Projects for which we have an executed power purchase agreement (“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 expenses 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 15 years as of April 30, 2026, with weighting based on the dollar amount of backlog and utility service contracts of up to 20 years in duration at inception.

Second Fiscal Quarter 2026 Financial Results
(All comparisons are between second quarter of fiscal 2026 and second quarter of fiscal 2025 unless otherwise noted)

Second quarter revenue of $35.6 million represents a decrease of 5% from the comparable prior year quarter. This was driven by a decline in service revenue due to the lack of modules exchanges in the quarter and lower generation revenue due to lower operating output (in large part due to the fact that the Groton Project was undergoing repairs during the quarter), partially offset by higher product revenues recognized in connection with module deliveries to customers in Korea and higher Advanced Technologies revenues. (The Groton Project is the 7.4 MW fuel cell project located on the U.S. Navy Submarine Base in Groton, CT.)

Net loss was $(77.6) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to net loss of $(37.7) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Higher net loss in the period was primarily driven by impairment expenses related to the Company’s decision to upgrade the equipment at the Groton Project to utilize three of the Company’s standard 2.5 MW FCE Blocks.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(78.7) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(38.8) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in net loss attributable to common stockholders was primarily due to the increase in loss from operations for the three months ended April 30, 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $(17.1) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(19.3) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA reflects lower cash operating costs than in the prior period. Please see the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, in the appendix at the end of this release.

The net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(1.45), compared to $(1.79) in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is primarily due to the higher number of weighted average shares outstanding due to share issuances since April 30, 2025.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $440.9 million as of April 30, 2026, compared to $341.8 million as of October 31, 2025. Of the $440.9 million as of April 30, 2026, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $373.2 million and restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $67.7 million. Of the $341.8 million total as of October 31, 2025, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $278.1 million and restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $63.7 million.

Sales of Common Stock

During the three months ended April 30, 2026, approximately 10.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock were sold under the Company’s Open Market Sale Agreement, as amended, at an average sale price of $9.45 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $102.6 million and net proceeds to the Company of approximately $100.4 million after deducting sales commissions and fees totaling approximately $2.2 million.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, approximately 4.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock were sold under the Company’s Open Market Sale Agreement, as amended, at an average sale price of $13.31 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $54.0 million and net proceeds to the Company of approximately $52.9 million after deducting sales commissions and fees totaling approximately $1.1 million.

Following these sales, approximately $0.5 million of shares remained available for sale under the Open Market Sale Agreement, as amended.

Appendix

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Financial results are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Management also uses non-GAAP measures to analyze and make operating decisions on the business. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are non-GAAP measures of operations and operating performance by the Company.

These supplemental non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in assessing operating performance. Management believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. Management also believes these measures are used by companies in the fuel cell sector and by securities analysts and investors when comparing the results of the Company with those of other companies. EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss attributable to the Company, primarily because it does not include finance expense, income taxes and depreciation of property, plant and equipment and project assets. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation, impairment and restructuring expenses, unrealized non-cash loss (gain) on natural gas contract derivative assets and other unusual items, which are considered either non-cash or non-recurring. Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders differ from the most comparable GAAP measures, Net loss attributable to common stockholders and Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, primarily because they do not include stock-based compensation, impairment and restructuring expenses, unrealized non-cash loss (gain) on natural gas contract derivative assets and other unusual items, which are considered either non-cash or non-recurring.

While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these measures. The measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table calculates EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles these figures to the GAAP financial statement measure Net loss.
