Future Outlook

The company expects revenues to increase as it scales production to meet customer demand. It anticipates cost of goods sold to exceed revenues in the near term due to production start-up and commissioning costs. Management believes recent credit facilities have significantly improved its capital position and provide a path to sustainable operations and profitability, though there is no assurance this will be achieved without additional outside capital. The company is observing accelerated customer activity in 2025 due to customers seeking to secure eligibility for current Investment Tax Credit (ITC) safe harbor provisions before the transition to the technology-neutral Section 48E framework.

Management Comments

• "While the Company believes its recent entry into new credit facilities as discussed below has significantly improved its capital position and provides a path to sustainable operations and profitability, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require additional outside capital."
• "Successfully meeting these performance milestones will enable the Company to fuel its ongoing operations, U.S. production expansion, and the creation of an American energy storage powerhouse, without the need to raise additional capital via debt or additional equity offerings."
• "With the Delayed Draw Term Loan fully funded, combined with DOE Loan Facility's first disbursement in December 2024, Eos has a strong foundation and sufficient capital to continue implementing Project AMAZE."
• "Cash from customer projects now play an important role in funding working capital and our American-made system can play a critical role in America achieving energy independence."
• "The Company surpassed its January raw materials cost-out target by 6% while delivering manufacturing cycle times below 10 seconds to further demonstrate continued operational efficiency and progress."
• "Nathan's background as Chief Financial Officer gives him a unique advantage in understanding both the financial and commercial landscapes of the industry, allowing him to create customer-centric solutions that are not only impactful, but also financially sustainable."
• "The Company believes that the simplicity, flexibility, and safety of its products are key attributes desired by the market."
• "The Company recognizes the competitive advantage offered by the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides production tax credits (PTC) for domestically manufactured battery components, as well as tax credits for customers involved in projects meeting domestic content requirements."

Industry Context

The company operates in the energy storage solutions market, specifically targeting utility-scale, microgrid, and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications. It positions its Znyth technology as an alternative to lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries for 3to 12-hour discharge duration applications, emphasizing safety, flexibility, scalability, and sustainability. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021 are significant drivers, providing tax credits and funding opportunities for domestically manufactured battery components and projects meeting domestic content requirements, which the company aims to leverage. The company's expansion into the UK market with Frontier Power Ltd. indicates a broader international strategy, aligning with global demand for long-duration energy storage.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• The Z3 battery module is highlighted as the "only US designed and manufactured battery module that today provide utilities, independent power producers, renewables developers and C&I customers with an alternative to lithium-ion and lead-acid monopolar batteries for critical 3to 12-hour discharge duration applications," suggesting a unique market position.
• The Z3 battery is stated to offer "twice the energy density per square foot" compared to the previous Gen 2.3, while maintaining safety and reliability.
• The Z3 uses chemistry known for its ability to "endure over 3 million cycles," which is a strong performance claim compared to typical battery cycle life expectations.
• The company believes its products qualify for the 10% domestic content bonus under the IRA, which could provide a strategic advantage over competitors relying on foreign supply chains.
• The 5 GWh framework agreement with Frontier Power Ltd. in the UK positions Eos to participate in Ofgem's new long-duration energy storage (LDES) cap and floor scheme, indicating alignment with emerging international regulatory frameworks for energy storage.

Related Party Transactions

• Cerberus Capital Management LP (and affiliates CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, CCM Denali Equity Holdings, LP, Cerberus US Servicing LLC) provided a $210.5 million Delayed Draw Term Loan (DDTL) and a $105 million revolving credit facility. They received warrants (SPA Warrant) and preferred stock (Series A and B Preferred Stock), resulting in a 33% ownership position. The interest rate on DDTL was reduced from 15% to 7% per annum due to amendments.
• Incurred manufacturing costs of $1.133 million (Q2 2025) and $1.374 million (YTD Q2 2025) and advisory fees of $1.821 million (Q2 2025) and $2.491 million (YTD Q2 2025) from two vendors affiliated with Cerberus.
• Spring Creek Capital, LLC (a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc.) was the holder of the $100 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Convertible Notes issued in July 2021, which were fully repurchased on June 3, 2025, for $131 million.
• AE Convert, LLC (managed by Russell Stidolph, a director of the Company) was one of the purchasers of the 26.5% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2026 (AFG Convertible Notes) issued in January 2023. The First Supplemental Indenture (July 28, 2025) allows for optional redemption pro rata excluding the Affiliated Purchaser (AE Convert, LLC).

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Experienced significant dilution from recent equity offerings (public offering, convertible notes conversion potential, warrants to Cerberus). The going concern warning poses a substantial risk to investment value. However, the capital raises provide liquidity and extend the company's operational runway, potentially preserving shareholder value in the long term if profitability is achieved.
• Employees: Increased headcount in key growth areas, indicating job creation and expansion. Stock-based compensation is a significant component of compensation.
• Customers: Benefit from the company's expanded manufacturing capacity (Project AMAZE), new Z3 battery technology with improved performance and cost-effectiveness, and potential qualification for IRA tax credits (ITC bonus for domestic content). New orders from Naval Base San Diego and Faraday Microgrids demonstrate continued customer demand.
• Suppliers: The company's focus on domestic sourcing for raw materials (leveraging IRA incentives) could benefit U.S. suppliers. A new long-term supply agreement for raw materials processing was entered into.
• Creditors (Cerberus, DOE, Convertible Note Holders): Cerberus's debt is fully funded, and its interest rate was reduced. DOE funding is progressing. The 2021 Convertible Notes were repurchased, and the AFG Convertible Notes' maturity was extended with a reduced interest rate, improving the company's debt profile and potentially reducing immediate repayment pressure.

Next Steps

• Continue scaling production to meet customer demand for long-duration energy storage.
• Further drawdowns from the DOE Loan Facility, subject to achieving funding conditions for subsequent tranches (Tranche 2: $106.7 million; Tranche 3: $67.5 million; Tranche 4: $12.3 million).
• Achieve Sales Milestone 4 by October 31, 2025, to avoid potential additional equity issuance to Cerberus.
• Hold a special meeting of stockholders on or prior to October 31, 2025, to satisfy the stockholder approval requirement for the redemption of AFG Convertible Notes held by the Affiliated Purchaser.
• Redeem all outstanding AFG Convertible Notes (other than those held by the Affiliated Purchaser).
• Evaluate the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act's new limitations on sourcing materials from foreign entities of concern after December 31, 2025.
• Continue to develop efficient manufacturing processes to scale and forecast related costs and efficiencies accurately.
• Convert firm order backlog and pipeline to revenue.
• Collaborate with community leaders, universities, and supply chain partners to pursue funding opportunities under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021.

Key Dates

Recommendation

The filing presents a mixed bag of significant progress and persistent challenges. On the positive side, the company has demonstrated strong revenue growth, successfully secured substantial new financing (DDTL fully funded, DOE loan tranches, public offering, new convertible notes), and extended key debt maturities while reducing interest rates on some debt. These actions significantly improve liquidity and extend the operational runway, addressing immediate going concern risks. Operational milestones, such as exceeding cost-out targets and achieving efficient manufacturing cycle times, indicate progress in scaling production. New orders and international market entry are also positive indicators of demand. However, the company continues to incur substantial net losses and negative cash flow from operations, leading to an increased accumulated deficit. The explicit "going concern" warning, despite the recent capital raises, highlights the ongoing need to achieve profitability. While the recent financing provides a critical lifeline, the path to sustainable profitability remains uncertain. For a seasoned investor, the current situation warrants a "hold" recommendation. The company has taken crucial steps to secure its near-term future and is making operational strides, but the fundamental profitability issues and high cash burn rate mean it's not yet a "buy." Conversely, the significant capital infusion and strategic progress prevent a "sell" recommendation, as there is potential for future upside if the company can successfully execute its scaling and profitability strategy. Investors should monitor future financial results closely for signs of improved operational efficiency and reduced losses.
