SAN JOSE, Calif. — Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE: BE) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. 

The Company has issued a shareholder letter discussing its first-quarter 2020 financial results, and it may be accessed on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at: https://investor.bloomenergy.com.

Key highlights from the first quarter include:

Commenting on first quarter results, KR Sridhar, founder, chairman and CEO, Bloom Energy said:

“Despite the impact of COVID-19, our business showed strength in the first quarter of 2020. We continued to grow acceptances, up 8.9% YoY, driven by existing customers increasing their Bloom Energy Server footprint, as well as new acceptances in technology, media and telecommunications, and other industries. The high value of resilient power is more evident now than ever, and we are well-positioned, as operations begin to normalize, to capitalize on this trend with our unique solutions.”

Outlook for Q2 of FY20:

Due to the uncertainties resulting from the global economic impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”), Bloom Energy will not be providing guidance for the second quarter of 2020.

Bloom Energy will hold a conference call today to discuss its financial results and to provide an update on the business. On the call, the Company will provide an assessment of current trends as well as outline the proactive actions Bloom Energy is taking to navigate potential outcomes.
