Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) adds $600M multicurrency revolving credit line

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bloom Energy Corporation entered into a new $600 million senior secured multicurrency revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank and other lenders. This revolving line of credit can be drawn in several currencies, including U.S. dollars, British pounds, euros, Japanese yen, and Singapore dollars, giving the company flexibility to fund operations globally.

Borrowings may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. The facility matures on December 19, 2030, unless accelerated upon certain events. Interest is based on either Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.50%–2.25% or an adjusted base rate plus a margin of 0.50%–1.25%, with a 0.20%–0.35% annual commitment fee on undrawn amounts, all tied to Bloom’s Total Leverage Ratio.

The credit line is secured by liens on substantially all of Bloom’s personal property (excluding intellectual property) and equity interests in material subsidiaries, subject to exceptions. Key financial covenants require a Secured Leverage Ratio ≤ 3.25:1.00 and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio ≥ 3.00:1.00, tested quarterly, with a temporary leverage step-up after certain material acquisitions.

Insights

Credit & Capital Structure Analyst

Bloom Energy adds a sizable $600M revolver with covenant guardrails but no clear distress signal.

Bloom Energy has arranged a $600 million senior secured revolving credit facility that runs to December 19, 2030. This is a committed source of liquidity usable for working capital, capex, permitted acquisitions, and other general corporate needs, and can be drawn in multiple major currencies, which can help align funding with international operations.

Pricing is variable, tied to the company’s Total Leverage Ratio, with Term SOFR-based loans carrying a 1.50%–2.25% margin and base-rate loans a 0.50%–1.25% margin, plus a 0.20%–0.35% commitment fee on undrawn amounts. The facility is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible personal property (excluding IP) and equity in material subsidiaries, reflecting lenders’ desire for collateral coverage while leaving intellectual property unencumbered.

Financial covenants require a Secured Leverage Ratio at or below 3.25% to 1.00% and an Interest Coverage Ratio at or above 3.00% to 1.00%, tested quarterly, with a limited step-up following a defined Material Acquisition. These tests create discipline around leverage and interest coverage, but there is no indication in this disclosure of current covenant pressure; the facility primarily formalizes ongoing access to credit.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Agreement

Parties

On December 19, 2025, Bloom Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, the letter of credit issuer party thereto, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders.

Borrowings

The Credit Agreement provides for a $600 million senior secured multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”). Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will be available in U.S. dollars, British pounds sterling, euros, Japanese yen, Singapore dollars, and other approved foreign currencies.

Use of Proceeds

Proceeds of borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be used to finance working capital, capital expenditures, and permitted acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes.

Maturity Date

Subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events (as described in the Credit Agreement), the revolving credit facility matures on December 19, 2030.

Interest Rate

Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% or an adjusted base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.25%, based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility, based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio, and customary letter of credit fees, as necessary.

Collateral

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property of the Company, other than intellectual property, and by a pledge of substantially all of the shares of stock, partnership interests and limited liability company interests of the direct material domestic subsidiaries of the Company and 65% of each class of capital stock of any first-tier material foreign subsidiaries of the Company, subject to limited exceptions. As of the date of this filing, each of the Company's subsidiaries is an "Immaterial Subsidiary" under the Credit Agreement and, consequently, none of the shares of stock, partnership interests and limited liability company interests of these entities secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

Financial Covenants

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain (i) a Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 and (ii) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00, each tested at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Total Leverage Ratio financial covenant is subject to a 0.50 to 1.00 step-up for four fiscal quarters following a Material Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and subject to the other conditions contained in the Credit Agreement.

Restrictive Covenants

The Credit Agreement also contains a number of covenants and restrictions that, among other things, restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments and acquisitions, prepay certain indebtedness, create liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, and merge or consolidate. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the Credit Agreement becoming immediately due and payable.
