Overview
The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on June 3, 2019 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. II. ("BMRG"), in order to acquire one or more businesses, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or a similar business combination. Upon the closing of a business combination with Eos Energy Storage, LLC on November 16, 2020 (the "Merger”), the Company changed its name to “Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.” The Company’s common shares started trading under the ticker NASDAQ: EOSE on November 16, 2020.
On April 9, 2021, the Company acquired, from Holtec, the 51% interest in Hi-Power that was not already owned by the Company. Following the consummation of the transaction, Hi-Power became a 100% indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the obligations of the parties under the Hi-Power joint venture terminated.
The Company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets innovative zinc-based energy storage solutions for utility-scale, microgrid, and commercial & industrial (“C&I”) applications. The Company has developed a broad range of intellectual property with multiple patents covering unique battery chemistry, mechanical product design, energy block configuration and a software operating system (Battery Management System). The Battery Management System (“BMS”) software uses proprietary Eos-developed algorithms and includes ambient and battery temperature sensors, as well as voltage and electric current sensors for the electrical strings and the system. The Company focuses on designing, developing, producing and selling safe, reliable, long-lasting, low-cost turn-key alternating current (“AC”) integrated systems using Eos’ direct current (“DC”) Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”). The Company’s primary applications focus on integrating battery storage solutions with: (1) renewable energy systems that are connected to the utility power grid; (2) renewable energy systems that are not connected to the utility power grid; (3) storage systems utilized to relieve congestion; and (4) storage systems to assist C&I customers in reducing their peak energy usage or participating in the utilities ancillary and demand response markets. The Company has a manufacturing facility in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania to produce DC energy blocks with an integrated BMS. The Company’s primary market is North America with opportunistic growth opportunities in Europe, Oceania, Africa, and Asia. The Company has one operating and reportable segment.
Business Trends
As an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company, we are required to implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices and have, and will continue to, hire additional personnel in this context. We have incurred additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, internal and external accounting, legal, administrative resources, including increased personnel costs, and audit and other professional service fees.
The Company is currently operating in a period of global economic and geopolitical uncertainty, which has been exacerbated by the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine has led to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, an increase in cybersecurity incidents as well as additional supply chain disruptions. The Company’s business has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine as of the date of this filing, however, we continue to monitor these developments. See Part 1, Item 1A - Risk Factors section for further discussion.
The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak has had an adverse effect on the Company's workforce and operations, as well as the operations of its customers, distributors, suppliers and contractors. Management continues to monitor for a potential resurgence of COVID-19 and remains focused on maintaining protective measures to ensure the safety, health and welfare of the Company’s workforce. A potential resurgence of COVID-19 may impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in the future. Refer to Part 1, Item 1A - Risk Factors section for further discussion.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”)
The IRA features significant economic incentives for both energy storage customers and manufacturers for projects placed in service after December 31, 2022. One of the most important features of the IRA legislation is that it offers a 10-year term tax credit, whereas, historically similar industrial credits have been shorter in duration. Customers placing new energy storage facilities in service after this date may be allowed to claim at least a thirty percent investment tax credit (“ITC”) under certain conditions. The IRA also offers an extra ten percent credit if the project is in an “energy community” and another ten percent credit if the project satisfies domestic content requirements, which will be set forth when the implementing regulations are finalized. The ten percent bonus for domestic content could represent a strategic advantage for the Company resulting from our near-sourcing and Made in America strategy, and we currently anticipate that projects utilizing Eos batteries will qualify for the bonus.
Starting in 2023, there are also meaningful PTC that can be claimed on battery components manufactured in the US and sold to customers, which could apply to the Company, including credits for ten percent of the cost incurred to make electrode active materials, $35 per kWh of capacity of battery cells, and $10 per kWh of capacity of battery modules. These credits are cumulative, meaning the Company expects to be able to claim the tax credit amount for each component. The IRA directs the Internal Revenue Service to pay manufacturers the cash value, also known as direct pay, of PTCs for making battery components, and therefore, these credits may be a new source of cash flow for Eos. The direct pay option is valid for up to five tax years, after which any such tax credits can be sold to other companies for cash.
Company Highlights
•In November 2022, the Company announced an order for a 35 MWh energy storage system capable of 10-hour discharge duration. The order, worth $13.5 million, is funded by a grant through the CEC’s LDES Program as part of a project being carried out by Indian Energy, a 100 percent Native American-owned business, to create a first-of-its-kind resilient clean energy microgrid.
•In September 2022, the Company announced it was invited to the due diligence stage of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Renewable Energy and Efficient Energy Loan Program. The DOE Loan Programs Office’s (“LPO”) invitation to Eos to enter into full due diligence represents an important progression in the LPO’s evaluation of Eos’ loan application. This stage includes LPO performing its due diligence of Eos’ project to expand manufacturing to support at least 3GWh of production capacity. During this stage, the Company and LPO are working to negotiate a term sheet setting out the principal terms and conditions of the loan. However, the DOE invitation to the due diligence stage is not an assurance that the DOE will offer a conditional commitment, or that the Company will secure a loan under the DOE Loan Program.
•In September 2022, the Company announced that Jeff Bornstein, former Chief Financial Officer and Vice Chairman of GE and Managing Partner at Generation Capital Partners and Whipstick Ventures, joined the Company’s Board of Directors.
•In 2022, the Company entered into a $100 million Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Senior Secured Term Loan") with Atlas Credit Partners (ACP) Post Oak Credit I LLC, as administrative agent for the lenders and collateral agent for the secured parties. The Company made total borrowings of $100 million under the Senior Secured Term Loan, composed of borrowings on July 29, 2022, August 4, 2022, and December 7, 2022 of $85.1 million, $9.6 million, and $5.3 million, respectively.
•During 2022, the Company entered into a common stock Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors. The SEPA gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $75.0 million of common equity to Yorkville at times of the Company’s choosing during the two-year term of the agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2022, funds raised under the SEPA were $14.5 million. See Note 20, Shareholders’ Equity to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
34
•During 2022, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), with respect to an at-the-market ("ATM") offering program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per common share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million through Cowen as its sales agent and/or principal. For the year ended December 31, 2022, funds raised under the ATM were $38.6 million, net of commissions.
•In July 2022, the Company announced the dedication of the “Eos Ingenuity Lab,” a site focused on expanding the Company’s R&D capacity as it designs future generations of its ZnythTM technology battery and forges a path toward rapid manufacturing and deployment of its energy storage systems.
•In June 2022, Bridgelink Commodities, LLC increased the Bridgelink master supply agreement to 1 GWh of energy storage systems for deliveries over the next three years with an incremental order value of $181 million for new project installations and also issued a separate 40 MWh order valued at $13 million.
•In June 2022, a 300 MWh master supply agreement was signed with a leading Northeast solar developer for front of the meter stand-alone storage and solar storage applications that provide energy shifting and ancillary services with deliveries forecasted over the next three years.

Results of Operations
Revenue
For the Years Ended December 31,
($ in thousands) 2022 2021 $ Change % Change
The Company generates revenues from the delivery of its BESSs and service-related solutions. The Company expects revenues to increase as it scales production to meet customer demand.
Revenue increased by $13.3 million, or 290% from $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by the Company’s increase in production and delivery of its energy storage systems and, to a lesser extent, other equipment.
Certain customer projects were deferred out of 2022 and into 2023 and beyond, primarily as a result of the recent passage of the IRA. The IRA includes subsidies for both energy storage customers and manufacturers, which are effective for projects placed in service after December 31, 2022.
Cost of goods sold
For the Years Ended December 31,
($ in thousands) 2022 2021 $ Change % Change
Cost of goods sold primarily consists of costs relating to direct labor, direct material and overhead that is directly tied to product manufacturing, engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”), project delivery, commissioning, start-up test procedures, and other indirect costs. Other indirect costs include manufacturing overhead, equipment maintenance, environmental health and safety, quality and production control procurement, transportation, logistics, depreciation and facility-related costs. As a nascent technology with a new manufacturing process that is early in its product lifecycle, the Company still faces significant costs associated with production start-up, commissioning of various components, modules, and subsystems and other related costs. The Company expects its cost of goods sold to exceed revenues in the near term as it continues to scale production and prepares BESSs delivered to customers to go-live.
Cost of goods sold increased by $106.8 million, or 230% from $46.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $153.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was driven by the following: (a) an increase in production volumes and related manufacturing costs; (b) higher freight costs and material costs due to volume and inflation; (c) higher manufacturing scrap and rework costs and production inefficiencies; and (d) higher EPC and commissioning expenses.
Research and development expenses
For the Years Ended December 31,
($ in thousands) 2022 2021 $ Change % Change
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, materials, third-party services, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets.

Research and development costs decreased by $0.7 million or 4% from $19.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, to $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in research and development costs was primarily driven by a decrease of $3.4 million in costs for materials and supplies, partially offset by increases of $1.4 million for outside professional services, $0.5 million of payroll and personnel costs, $0.6 million of stock compensation costs and $0.2 million of facility costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
For the Years Ended December 31,
($ in thousands) 2022 2021 $ Change % Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of payroll and personnel-related, outside professional services, facilities, depreciation, travel, marketing, and public company costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $17.6 million or 41%, from $43.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $60.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $10.8 million in payroll and personnel costs and $8.9 million of outside service expenses, partially offset by decreases of $1.9 million in stock compensation costs.
Loss on pre-existing agreement
For the Years Ended December 31,
Loss on pre-existing agreement $ — $ 30,368
The Company incurred a loss on a pre-existing agreement of $30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the termination of the joint venture agreement with Holtec during the second quarter of 2021.
Loss from write-down on property, plant and equipment
For the Years Ended December 31,
Loss from write-down on PP&E $ 6,846 $ 50
The Company incurred a loss of $6.8 million from the write-down on property, plant and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in loss is due to replacement of equipment, outsourcing of certain production processes, and a shift in production from the current generation Gen 2.3 BESS to the next generation Z3 system.
Grant expense, net
For the Years Ended December 31,
Grant (income) expense, net $ (16) $ 269
Grant (income) expense, net includes grant-related expenses net of grant income received pursuant to grant agreements with the California Energy Commission (“CEC”). The change in grant (income) expense, net, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 relates to the timing of grant activity and recovery of expenses from the CEC grant.
37
Interest expense, net
For the Years Ended December 31,
Interest expense, net $ (7,915) $ (604)
Interest expense, net includes accrued interest, amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts, and interest income. Interest expense, net increased by $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. These increases are a result of higher interest expense recognized due to interest on the Senior Secured Term Loan, which was issued in 2022, and from a further draw on the equipment financing facility in 2022.
Interest expense - related party
For the Years Ended December 31,
Interest expense - related party $ (10,898) $ (4,597)
Interest expense, related party includes accrued interest and the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts. Interest expense - related party increased by $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. 2022 reflects a full year of interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs recognized in 2022 for the 2021 Convertible Notes - Related Party and the Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note - Related Party. In 2021, there was only interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs for the 2021 Convertible Notes- Related Party, which were issued in July 2021.
Remeasurement of equity method investment
For the Years Ended December 31,
Remeasurement of equity method investment $ — $ (7,480)
For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized a $7.5 million loss on our equity method investment in Hi-Power. The loss was a result of the remeasurement of our 49% ownership in Hi-Power due to our acquisition of the remaining 51% interest previously held by Holtec. The Company consolidated Hi-Power for the full year of 2022, therefore, it was not accounted for as an equity method investment for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Gain on change in fair value of derivatives - related parties
The gain on change in fair value of derivatives - related parties is composed of the following:
For the Years Ended December 31,
Change in fair value, embedded derivatives - related party $ 10,880 $ 17,507
Change in fair value, warrants liability - related party 848 1,775
Gain on change in fair value of derivatives - related parties $ 11,728 $ 19,282
The 2021 Convertible Notes Payable - Related Party, and the December Yorkville Convertible Promissory Notes contain conversion features that are accounted for as embedded derivatives and remeasured at its fair value at each balance sheet date. The decrease in the embedded derivatives' fair value, as well as the warrants liability's fair value, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, is largely a result of the change in the value of the underlying asset, the Company’s common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Going Concern
As a growth company in the early commercialization stage of its lifecycle, Eos is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. In this regard, substantially all of the Company’s efforts to date have been devoted to the development and manufacturing of battery energy storage systems and complimentary products and services, recruitment of management and technical staff, deployment of capital to expand the Company’s operations to meet customer demand and raising capital to fund the Company’s development. As a result of these efforts, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and expects to continue to incur such losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future until such time that the Company can reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations.
In order to execute its development strategy, the Company has historically relied on outside capital through the issuance of equity, debt, and borrowings under financing arrangements (collectively “outside capital”) to fund its cost structure and expects to continue to rely on outside capital for the foreseeable future. While the Company believes it will eventually reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require its continued reliance on outside capital. Moreover, while the Company has historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
As of the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were issued (the “issuance date”), management evaluated the significance of the following negative financial conditions in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, Going Concern:
•Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash from operations in order to fund its development. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $(229.8) million, incurred negative cash flows from operations of $(196.9) million, and had an accumulated deficit of $(646.3) million as of December 31, 2022.
•As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $17.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund the Company’s operations, no additional borrowings available to fund its operations under pre-existing financing arrangements (see Note 13, Borrowings)and negative working capital of $(5.4) million, inclusive of $5.6 million of outstanding debt that is currently scheduled to mature within the next twelve months beyond the issuance date.
•While the Company has available capacity under certain pre-existing arrangements to issue shares of the Company’s common stock, including under the SEPA and the ATM offering program, (see also Note 20, Shareholders’ Equity) to aid in funding the Company’s operations, the Company’s ability to secure such funding is dependent upon certain conditions, such as investors’ willingness to purchase the Company’s common stock and at a price that is acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, as of the issuance date there is no assurance the Company will be able to secure funding under these pre-existing arrangements or on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
•Similarly, while the Company has historically been successful in raising additional outside capital to fund the Company’s operations, as of the issuance date no assurance can be provided the Company will be successful in obtaining additional outside capital or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. In this regard, the Company is currently in the process of negotiating additional outside capital under the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Loan Guarantee Solicitation for Applications for Renewable Energy Projects and Efficient Energy Projects (the “DOE Loan Program”). As of the issuance date, the Company remains in the due diligence phase of negotiations with the DOE, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such loan or on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
40
•The Company is required to remain in compliance with a quarterly minimum financial liquidity covenant under its Senior Secured Term Loan. While the Company was in compliance with this covenant as of December 31, 2022, and expects to remain in compliance as of March 31, 2023, absent the Company’s ability to secure additional outside capital, the Company may be unable to remain in compliance with this covenant beginning on June 30, 2023 and thereafter. In the event the Company is unable to remain in compliance with the minimum financial liquidity covenant and the other nonfinancial covenants required by the Senior Secured Term Loan, and the Company is further unable to cure such noncompliance or secure a waiver, Atlas may, at its discretion, exercise any and all of its existing rights and remedies, which may include, among other things, entering into a forbearance agreement with the Company, and/or asserting its rights in the Company’s assets securing the loan. Moreover, the Company’s other lenders may exercise similar rights and remedies under the cross-default provisions of their respective borrowing arrangements with the Company.
•Absent an ability to secure additional outside capital in the near term, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months beyond the issuance date.
•In the event the Company’s ongoing efforts to raise additional outside capital prove unsuccessful, management will be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment in the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors, and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent.
These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Financing Arrangements
The Company has historically relied on outside capital to fund its cost structure and expects this reliance to continue for the foreseeable future until the Company reaches profitability through its planned revenue generating activities. During 2022, the Company closed on the following capital transactions:
•a common stock Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors. For the year ended December 31, 2022, funds raised under the SEPA were $14.5 million. See Note 20, Shareholders' Equity to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
•a Sales Agreement with Cowen, with respect to an at-the-market offering program. For the year ended December 31, 2022, funds raised under the ATM were $38.6 million, net of commissions. See Note 20, Shareholders' Equity to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
•a $100.0 million Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement with Atlas Credit Partners (ACP) Post Oak Credit I LLC. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the funds raised from borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan were $100.0 million. The Senior Secured Term Loan contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, which limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness, make restricted payments, including cash dividends on its common stock, make certain investments, loans and advances, enter into mergers and acquisitions, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of its assets, enter into transactions with its affiliates and engage in sale and leaseback transactions, among other restrictions. It also requires the Company to hold enough available liquidity as of the last day of each fiscal quarter to meet the Interest Escrow Required Amount (as defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan), which is calculated as the aggregate amount of the four immediately following interest payments on loans under the Senior Secured Term Loan. See Note 13, Borrowings to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
•an additional $4.2 million from Trinity Capital Inc. under the $25.0 million equipment financing facility (the "Equipment Financing Facility"), which was entered into during 2021. See Note 13, Borrowings to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
41
See Note 13, Borrowings and Note 20, Shareholders' Equity for all of the Company’s outstanding debt and equity transactions.
Capital Expenditures
We expect capital expenditures and working capital requirements to increase as we seek to execute on our growth strategy. Total capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $20.1 million. These expenses were primarily used to purchase additional equipment and to automate certain manufacturing processes that will increase our capacity and efficiency. Our capital expenditure and working capital requirements may change depending on many factors, including but not limited to, the overall performance of existing equipment, our sales pipeline, our operating results and any adjustments in our operating plan necessary in response to industry conditions, competition or unexpected events.
Discussion and Analysis of Cash Flows
The Company relies heavily on private placement of convertible notes, term loans, equipment financing and issuance of common stock. Our short-term working capital needs are primarily related to funding of debt interest payments, repayment of debt principal, product manufacturing, research and development, and general corporate expenses. The Company’s long-term working capital needs are primarily related to repayment of long-term debt obligations and capital expenses for capacity expansion and maintenance, equipment upgrades and repair of equipment. We have taken steps to conserve working capital and reduce expenses to better manage cash outflows.
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods presented.
For the Years Ended December 31,
Net cash used in operating activities $ (196,857) $ (116,147)
Net cash used in investing activities (17,170) (23,336)
Cash flows from operating activities:
Our cash flows used in operating activities to date have primarily been composed of costs related to research and development, manufacturing of our initial energy storage products, and other selling, general and administrative activities. As we continue to expand commercial production, we expect our expenses related to personnel, manufacturing, research and development and selling, general and administrative activities to increase.
Net cash used in operating activities of $196.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by a net loss of $229.8 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $31.0 million. Non-cash items included stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest accretion and amortization of debt issuance costs, changes in fair value of derivatives, and loss from the write-down of property, plant and equipment. The net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.0 million was primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $23.4 million, an increase in contract liabilities of $4.0 million, and a decrease in vendor deposits of $6.8 million. These inflows were partially offset by an increase in inventory of $10.3 million and a decrease in the Hi-Power note payable of $19.6 million.
Net cash used in operating activities of $116.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by a net loss of $124.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $11.0 million. Non-cash items included stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of the Hi-Power JV equity and changes in the fair value of derivatives. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by an increase in the Hi-Power notes payable of $18.7 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $7.1 million, partially offset by an increase in inventory of $10.1 million, increase in vendor deposits of $7.4 million, decrease in provision for firm purchase commitment of $5.5 million, and increase in accounts receivable of $1.9 million.
42
Cash flows from investing activities:
Net cash flows used in investing activities of $17.2 for the year ended December 31, 2022 were primarily composed of payments made for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $20.1 million, note receivable advanced to a customer of $0.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from notes receivable of $3.2 million.
Net cash flows used in investing activities of $23.3 for the year ended December 31, 2021 were primarily composed of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $15.6 million, investment in joint venture of $4.0 million, notes receivable advanced to customers of $4.9 million and payments made for the Hi-Power acquisition of $0.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from notes receivable of $1.3 million.
Cash flows from financing activities:
Net cash provided by financing activities of $139.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, was primarily from net proceeds received from the Senior Secured Term Loan of $98.0 million, issuance of common stock under the ATM program of $38.6 million, Yorkville Convertible Promissory Notes of $9.3 million, issuance of common stock under the SEPA of $5.0 million, and an increase in the equipment financing facility of $4.2 million. The proceeds were partially offset by debt issuance costs related to the Senior Secured Term Loan of $12.4 million, payments on the equipment financing facility of $1.9 million, and $1.0 million for share repurchases from employees for tax withholding purposes.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $123.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the proceeds received from issuance of the 2021 Convertible Notes of $100 million, equipment financing of $7.0 million, warrants exercised of $20.1 million, and options exercised of $1.1 million, partially offset by debt issuance costs associated with the 2021 Convertible Notes and the equipment financing facility of $4.4 million.
Contractual Obligations
We have certain obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts. As of December 31, 2022, this is comprised of the following:
•Open purchase obligations of $0.2 million, related to a supply purchase agreement with a minimum volume commitment. See Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
•Future lease payments, including interest, under non-cancellable operating and financing leases of $6.5 million. The leases expire at various dates prior to 2028. See Note 15, Leases to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
•Principal and Interest payments related to the following debt obligations. See Note 13, Borrowings to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Future Debt Payments
Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note - due June 2023* $ 2,000
Equipment financing facility - due April 2025 10,561
* Amounts owed under the Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note were offset by the issuance of common shares in January 2023- See Note 21, Subsequent Events to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, judgments, and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We regularly reevaluate our assumptions, judgments, and estimates. In addition to the below, for further information regarding our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Warranty Liability
The Company generally provides a standard warranty for a period of two years. We also provide extended warranties and performance guarantees, which are identified as separate performance obligations in the Company's contracts with customers. We accrue warranty reserves at the time of recording the sale. Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or to replace any items under warranty, which is based on various factors including actual claim data to date, results of lab testing, factory quality data, and field monitoring. Due to limited claim experience since commercialization of our product, and the potential for variability in these underlying factors, the difference between our estimated costs and our actual costs could be material to our consolidated financial statements. If actual product failure rates or the frequency or severity of reported claims differ from our estimates, we may be required to revise our estimated warranty liability. We will also update actual warranty experience to determine warranty reserves as such experience becomes available. We review our reserves at least quarterly, seeking to ensure that our accruals are adequate in meeting expected future warranty obligations, and we will adjust our estimates as needed. Initial warranty data can be limited at the early stage in the commercialization of our products and, the adjustments that we record may be material. Thus, it is likely that as we sell additional BESS, we will acquire additional information on the projected costs to repair or replace items under warranty and may need to make additional adjustments. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $3.8 million and $2.1 million in warranty reserves, respectively. Adjustments to warranty reserves are recorded in cost of goods sold.
Convertible Notes and Embedded Derivatives
Some of our debt financings contain embedded derivatives, such as conversion features in our 2021 Convertible Notes Payable - Related Party. The Company evaluates each debt agreement to determine whether any embedded features require bifurcation from the debt host in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815").If the embedded feature requires bifurcation from its debt host, the Company will account for it as either a derivative liability or as a derivative in equity. The Company uses valuation models to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivatives. For the valuation of the embedded derivative related to the 2021 Convertible Notes- Related Party, the Company uses a binomial lattice model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, the effective debt yield and expected volatility. Certain inputs involve unobservable inputs and are classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 16, Fair Value Measurement to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report). The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to these methods, assumptions, and estimates included could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions.
44
Business Combinations
We have accounted for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting where the cost is allocated to the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired, based on their respective fair values. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value. Goodwill is recognized to the extent by which the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred exceeds the recognized basis of the identifiable assets acquired, net of assumed liabilities. The Company used information available to make fair value determinations and engaged independent valuation specialists to assist management in the fair value determination for the acquisition of Hi-Power. The fair value is determined using the income approach, cost approach and/or market approach. Determining the fair value of purchase consideration, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as the Joint Venture agreement the Company terminated in connection with the acquisition requires management’s judgment. The fair value determination of the Joint Venture agreement and of the consideration transferred in exchange for the Hi-Power business involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the selection of appropriate valuation methodology, projected cash flows and the discount rate. The Company believes the estimates applied to be based on reasonable assumptions, but these estimates are inherently uncertain. If any of our assumptions or judgements used to determine fair value of the assets acquired, are ultimately incorrect, we could experience material impairment losses.
45
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the general funding needs of the Company's activities and in the management of the Company's assets and liabilities. Our exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on our ability to raise funds to meet our obligations and sustain operations. We manage liquidity risk by continuously monitoring our actual and forecasted working capital requirements to ensure there is capital to meet short-term, long-term obligations, including our liquidity covenants under the Senior Secured Term Loan (see Note 13, Borrowings to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report). As disclosed in Note 1, Overview to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report, there is a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In order to execute its development strategy, the Company has historically relied on outside capital to fund its cost structure and expects to continue to rely on outside capital for the foreseeable future.While the Company believes it will eventually reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require its continued reliance on outside capital.Moreover, while the Company has historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company has two foreign domiciled subsidiaries, one in Italy and the other in India, which currently have minimal operating activity. We may in the future be impacted by foreign currency translation losses in these countries.
Our revenue contracts are made in U.S. dollars. We make purchases from certain vendors from other countries as well. However, all pricing and liabilities from the purchase are denominated in U.S. dollars and we are not exposed to the risk from exchange rate movements.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk arises from security price volatility. The Company is subject to this risk due to its private placement warrants. The fair value per warrant was $0.24 and $2.85 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was exposed to equity price risk. We estimate that a hypothetical 10% change in quoted security prices would impact our warrants liability by $8 and $93 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded, as of December 31, 2022, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” below.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures to determine that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) and based upon the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“the COSO Framework”). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
An effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error or overriding controls, and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to reliable financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Effective internal controls can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.
Management, including our CEO and CFO, assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and concluded that they were not effective as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the COSO framework. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022 due to the material weaknesses resulting from our lack of a formalized internal control framework in accordance with COSO, inadequate segregation of duties in the financial reporting process, lack of review and approval of journal entries, and a lack of management review controls.

Management’s Remediation Plan
We have identified and implemented, and continue to implement, certain remediation efforts to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. These remediation efforts are ongoing. The following remedial actions have been identified and initiated as of December 31, 2022:
• We hired several full-time accounting resources with appropriate levels of experience and reallocated responsibilities across the finance organization. This measure provides for segregation of duties to ensure the appropriate level of knowledge and experience is applied based on risk and complexity of transactions and tasks under review.
• We engaged a professional accounting services firm to assist us in the design and documentation of our formal policies, processes and internal controls for complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
• We developed a project plan for the implementation of internal controls over financial reporting across the organization and have begun executing on that plan. Specifically, we have designed certain controls across all of our business cycles and are currently integrating these controls into our processes.
The process of implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations. As we continue to evaluate and take actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we will further refine our remediation plan and take additional actions to address control deficiencies or modify certain of the remediation measures described above.
While progress has been made to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we are still in the process of designing, implementing, documenting, and testing the effectiveness of these processes, procedures and controls. Additional time is required to complete the implementation and to assess and ensure the sustainability of these procedures. We will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. However, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls are fully implemented, have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the actions taken as described in Management's Remediation Initiatives above to improve the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 that materially affected, or which are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Delaware Section 205 Petition
On November 12, 2020, B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. II (“BMRG”), the predecessor to the Company, held a special meeting of stockholders (the “BMRG Special Meeting”) to approve certain matters relating to the business combination between BMRG and Eos Energy Storage LLC.
One of these matters was a proposal to amend and restate BMRG's certificate of incorporation in order to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 125,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, and to reclassify all Class A common stock and Class B common stock as a single class of common stock (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”). The Charter Amendment Proposal was approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of BMRG as of the record date for the BMRG Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, although voting records indicate that a majority of each of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock also approved the Charter Amendment Proposal. After the BMRG Special Meeting, BMRG and Eos Energy Storage LLC closed the business combination and the Company's certificate of incorporation, as amended to give effect to the Charter Amendment Proposal, became effective.
48
Table of Contents
A recent ruling by the Delaware Court of Chancery introduced uncertainty as to whether Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) would have required the Charter Amendment Proposal to be approved by separate votes of the majority of BMRG's then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The Company had been proceeding with the understanding that the Charter Amendment Proposal and the amendment and restated certificate of incorporation are valid. In light of this recent ruling, however, to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company's capital structure, the Company has filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the DGCL to seek validation of the Charter Amendment Proposal. Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to ratify and validate potentially defective corporate acts.
On February 27, 2023, the Court of Chancery approved the Company's request for relief and entered an order under Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (1) declaring the Company's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter"), including the filing and effectiveness thereof, as validated and effective retroactive to the date of its filing with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 16, 2020, and all amendments effected thereby and (2) ordering that the Company's securities (and the issuance of the securities) described in the Petition and any other securities issued in reliance on the validity of the Charter are validated and declared effective, each as of the original issuance dates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Convertible Notes Payable - Refer to Note 13 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s 2021 Convertible Notes contain an embedded conversion feature that is required to be bifurcated from the 2021 Convertible Notes and measured at fair value at each reporting period.
The Company estimates the fair value of the embedded conversion feature using a binomial lattice model at the inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, the effective debt yield, and expected volatility. The effective debt yield and the expected volatility involve unobservable inputs.
Unlike the fair value of financial instruments that are readily observable and therefore more easily independently corroborated, the valuation of the embedded conversion feature is inherently subjective and involves the use of complex modeling tools. Auditing the embedded conversion feature fair value requires a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the valuation of the embedded conversion feature in the 2021 Convertible Notes included the following, among others:
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s valuation methodology and the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the embedded conversion feature by:
◦Testing the source information underlying the fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
◦Developing an independent estimate of the inputs and compared those to the inputs used in the fair value of the embedded conversion feature.
•We evaluated the competency and objectivity of management’s expert engaged by the Company to perform the valuation of the embedded conversion feature.

1. Overview
Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Eos”) designs, develops, manufactures, and markets innovative energy storage solutions for utility-scale, microgrid, and commercial & industrial (“C&I”) applications. Eos developed a broad range of intellectual property with multiple patents covering unique battery chemistry, mechanical product design, energy block configuration and a software operating system (Battery Management System).The Company has only one operating and reportable segment.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As a growth company in the early commercialization stage of its lifecycle, Eos is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise.In this regard, substantially all of the Company’s efforts to date have been devoted to the development and manufacturing of battery energy storage systems and complimentary products and services, recruitment of management and technical staff, deployment of capital to expand the Company’s operations to meet customer demand and raising capital to fund the Company’s development.As a result of these efforts, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and expects to continue to incur such losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future until such time that the Company can reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations.
In order to execute its development strategy, the Company has historically relied on outside capital through the issuance of equity, debt, and borrowings under financing arrangements (collectively “outside capital”) to fund its cost structure and expects to continue to rely on outside capital for the foreseeable future.While the Company believes it will eventually reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require its continued reliance on outside capital.Moreover, while the Company has historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
As of the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were issued (the “issuance date”), management evaluated the significance of the following negative financial conditions in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, Going Concern:
•Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash from operations in order to fund its development. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $(229,813), incurred negative cash flows from operations of $(196,857), and had an accumulated deficit of $(646,340) as of December 31, 2022.
•As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $17,076 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund the Company’s operations, no additional borrowings available to fund its operations under pre-existing financing arrangements (see Note 13, Borrowings)and negative working capital of $(5,429), inclusive of $5,560 of outstanding debt that is currently scheduled to mature within the next twelve months beyond the issuance date.
•While the Company has available capacity under certain pre-existing arrangements to issue shares of the Company’s common stock, including under the SEPA and the ATM offering program, (see also Note 20, Shareholders’ Equity) to aid in funding the Company’s operations, the Company’s ability to secure such funding is dependent upon certain conditions, such as investors’ willingness to purchase the Company’s common stock and at a price that is acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, as of the issuance date there is no assurance the Company will be able to secure funding under these pre-existing arrangements or on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

1. Overview (cont.)
•Similarly, while the Company has historically been successful in raising additional outside capital to fund the Company’s operations, as of the issuance date no assurance can be provided the Company will be successful in obtaining additional outside capital or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. In this regard, the Company is currently in the process of negotiating additional outside capital under the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Loan Guarantee Solicitation for Applications for Renewable Energy Projects and Efficient Energy Projects (the “DOE Loan Program”). As of the issuance date, the Company remains in the due diligence phase of negotiations with the DOE, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such loan or on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
•The Company is required to remain in compliance with a quarterly minimum financial liquidity covenant under its Senior Secured Term Loan. While the Company was in compliance with this covenant as of December 31, 2022, and expects to remain in compliance as of March 31, 2023, absent the Company’s ability to secure additional outside capital, the Company may be unable to remain in compliance with this covenant beginning on June 30, 2023 and thereafter. In the event the Company is unable to remain in compliance with the minimum financial liquidity covenant and the other nonfinancial covenants required by the Senior Secured Term Loan, and the Company is further unable to cure such noncompliance or secure a waiver, Atlas may, at its discretion, exercise any and all of its existing rights and remedies, which may include, among other things, entering into a forbearance agreement with the Company, and/or asserting its rights in the Company’s assets securing the loan. Moreover, the Company’s other lenders may exercise similar rights and remedies under the cross-default provisions of their respective borrowing arrangements with the Company.
•Absent an ability to secure additional outside capital in the near term, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months beyond the issuance date.
•In the event the Company’s ongoing efforts to raise additional outside capital prove unsuccessful, management will be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment in the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors, and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent.
These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The Company follows accounting standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to ensure consistent reporting of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) in these notes are to the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) and related updates (“ASU”). The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Foreign Currency
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The operating results of foreign operations are translated at weighted average exchange rates. The related translation gains or losses are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ (deficit) equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, which were insignificant for years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, are included as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The most significant estimates in the consolidated financial statements include the calculation of the warranty liability and valuation of embedded derivatives within certain of our debt obligations.
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers. If the collection of any specific receivable is doubtful, an allowance is recorded in the allowance for expected credit losses. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the allowances for expected credit loss related to Accounts Receivable was $3 and $9, respectively. The Company also has an immaterial allowance related to its Notes Receivable, net, which is included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for the acquisition of a business using the acquisition method of accounting and allocates the purchase price of acquired entities to the underlying tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, with any excess recorded as goodwill. The operating results of acquired businesses are included in the Company’s results of operations beginning as of their effective acquisition dates. Additional information regarding acquisitions can be found in Note 3, Acquisition.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.
Embedded derivatives
Some of our debt financings contain embedded derivatives, such as conversion features in our Convertible Notes- Related Party, as well as in our Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note. The Company evaluates each debt agreement to determine whether the embedded derivative feature requires bifurcation from the host liability, in which case would require to be accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company uses valuation models to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivatives. The change in fair value of the embedded derivatives is presented separately on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Earnings (loss) Per Share
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis. See Note 20, Shareholders' Equity for further information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for the Company’s financial instruments classified as current assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, contract liabilities and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment each year using a qualitative or quantitative process that is performed at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a likely reduction in the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Prior to performing a quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value. If it is determined that it is unlikely that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company is not required to complete the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation. If it is determined that the carrying value may exceed fair value when considering qualitative factors, a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation is performed. When performing the quantitative evaluation, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded.
The Company completed the annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30, 2022, using a qualitative assessment for the reporting unit. The Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying amount, and a quantitative goodwill impairment test was not necessary. As a result of the annual assessment, there were no impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Government Grants
The Company records grants received or receivable from government agencies as an offset to the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate the Company. The costs of satisfying the Company’s obligations under the respective grant agreements are recognized as expense when incurred. Once the expenses are approved by the government agencies the Company records the grant receivable and related grant income. Grants received from government agencies for which expenses have not been incurred are included within accrued expenses.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An assessment is performed to determine whether the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of any long-lived asset impairment is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which a long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a loss from write-down of property, plant and equipment (see Note 7, Property, Plant & Equipment for further discussion).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Income Taxes and Deferred Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). Income taxes are computed under the asset and liability method reflecting both current and deferred taxes, which reflect the tax impact of all events included in the financial statements. The balance sheet approach (i) reflects a current tax liability or asset recognized for estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current and prior years, (ii) reflects a deferred tax liability or asset recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards, (iii) measures current and deferred tax liabilities and assets using the enacted tax rate of which the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated, and (iv) reduces deferred tax assets, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets only to the extent that management concludes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. Significant judgement is required in assessing and estimating the more-likely-than-not tax consequences of the events included in the financial statements. Management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) management determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets are stated at their historical cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives.
Inventory, net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records inventory when it takes delivery and title to the product according to the terms of each supply contract.
The Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. A valuation allowance is recorded for inventories that management considers excess or obsolete. Management considers forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining excess and obsolescence and net realizable value adjustments. Once inventory is written down and a new cost basis is established, it is not written back up if demand increases.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under ASC 842, the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate the present value represents our incremental borrowing rate and is calculated based on the treasury yield curve that is commensurate with the term of each lease, and a spread representative of our borrowing costs. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases may be classified as either operating leases or finance leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are excluded from the scope of ROU assets and liabilities, as allowed by ASC 842.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for non-lease components as part of the lease component for all asset classes. The majority of the Company's lease agreements are real estate leases.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the life of the lease. Maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures which significantly improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, which include materials, supplies, salaries, benefits and other costs related to research, development and testing of products.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is earned from the sales, installation, and commissioning of BESS, the terms of which are dictated by supply agreements the Company enters into with its customers.Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods and/or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods and/or services to the customer. As most contracts contain multiple goods delivered to the customer at different times, the transaction price is allocated to each good based on the relative standalone selling price and revenue is recognized when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company uses either the expected cost-plus margin approach or adjusted market assessment approach to estimate the standalone selling prices of its goods and services.
Product Revenue
Product revenue is comprised of revenue from the BESS, along with other products, including inverters and spare parts, and is recognized at the point in time at which control passes, the determination of which is made in accordance with ASC 606, based on indicators of control. Generally, passage of control will be determined based upon the shipping terms, which vary by contract. Many of the Company’s contracts with customers contain some component of variable consideration. The Company estimates variable consideration, such as refunds, penalties including liquidated damages, and the customer’s right to return, using the expected value method, and adjusts transaction price for its estimate of variable consideration. We update our estimates of variable consideration and adjust the transaction price accordingly by recording an adjustment to net revenue and refund liability with respect to variable consideration such as penalties, refunds, and credits to customers. The Company has concluded that its estimation of variable consideration results in an adjustment to the transaction price such that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur in the future.
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Sales tax collected from customers are recorded on a net basis and therefore, not included in revenue. Sales tax is recorded as a liability (payable) until remitted to governmental authorities.
Service Revenue
Service revenue includes commissioning, installation and engineering, procurement and construction revenue. As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance, these performance obligations are satisfied over time. The Company uses an input method to measure progress towards satisfaction. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss is recorded at that time.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Warranty related revenue
In addition to a standard two-year limited warranty against defects, the Company offers customers the option to purchase an extended warranty, a maintenance and monitoring service and/or a performance guarantee. As the standard two-year limited warranty is classified as an assurance-type warranty, based on criteria set forth in ASC 606, it is not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The extended warranty, maintenance and monitoring service warranty and performance guarantee, however, represent distinct services and are accounted for as separate performance obligations based on a time-lapsed measure of progress resulting in a ratable recognition of revenue over the respective performance period. For these performance obligations, at any time if management determines that in the case of a particular warranty that total costs will exceed total warranty revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated warranty loss is recorded at that time and included in warranty liability on the consolidated balance sheets.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The Company recognizes contract assets for certain contracts in which revenue recognition performance obligations have been satisfied, however invoicing to the customer has not yet occurred. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers in advance of the Company’s satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Payment terms are generally aligned with meeting various contractual milestones, beginning with purchase order execution and extending through manufacturing release, ready to ship, delivery and commissioning.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company elected to use certain practical expedients. The Company treats costs associated with obtaining new contracts as expenses when incurred if the amortization period of the asset recognized by the Company is one year or less.
Segments
The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer and President. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates in one operating and one reportable segment.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of awards, and generally these awards only have service conditions. The Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the award vesting term. For awards with performance conditions, we recognize compensation costs using an accelerated attribution method over the vesting period. Compensation costs are recognized only if it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied. Determining the appropriate fair value model and related assumptions requires judgment, including estimating volatility of the Company’s common stock and expected terms. The expected volatility rates are estimated based on historical and implied volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies. The expected term represents the average time that the options that vest are expected to be outstanding based on the vesting provisions, which is determined through the simplified method, since the Company does not have sufficient historical experience regarding the exercise of options. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as incurred.

Warranty liability
Warranty obligations are incurred in connection with the sale of the Company’s products. Costs to provide for warranty obligations are estimated and recorded as a liability at the time of recording the sale. Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or to replace any items under warranty, which is based on various factors, including the use of actual claim data to date, results of lab testing, factory quality data, and field monitoring.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (“Topic 832”). The amendments in this Update require disclosures about transactions with a government that have been accounted for by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model to increase transparency about (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for the transactions, and (3) the effect of the transactions on an entity's financial statements. The Company adopted this standard prospectively as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this standard update address diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination and require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. This standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has assessed the standard and concluded that this would only be applicable for acquisitions that the Company enters into prospectively only if the target company has contract assets and contract liabilities.
3. Acquisition
On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a unit purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Holtec Power, Inc. (“Holtec”). In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased from Holtec the remaining 51% interest in HI-POWER, LLC (“Hi-Power”) that was not already owned by the Company. Hi-Power was incorporated as a joint venture between the Company and Holtec in 2019. In connection with the transaction, the Company also entered into a transition services agreement and a sublease with Holtec. The transaction closed on April 9, 2021 (the “Acquisition Date”). Following the consummation of the transactions set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Transactions”), Hi-Power became a 100% indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the obligations of the parties under the Hi-Power joint venture terminated.
The aggregate purchase price of$25,000 was to be paid in annual increments of $5,000 beginning on May 31, 2021, as evidenced by a secured promissory note secured by the assets of the Company. The Purchase Agreement also required that the Company pay to Holtec, on the closing of the Transactions, cash equal to $10,283. Total payments to Holtec under this Purchase Agreement will be $35,283. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company repaid all outstanding amounts under the Purchase Agreement, which resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $942.
The fair value of these payments was $33,474 at the Acquisition Date and included $32,750 allocated to the termination of a pre-existing agreement with Holtec and $724 allocated to the acquisition.
The obligations and rights of both parties under the pre-existing joint venture agreement were terminated at the time of acquisition and $32,750 of the fair value of the consideration transferred was allocated to the termination of the agreement, which resulted in a loss on the pre-existing agreement of $30,368 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

3. Acquisition (cont.)
Prior to the acquisition of the remaining 51% ownership interest in Hi-Power, the Company accounted for its initial 49% ownership interest in Hi-Power as an unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting. In connection with the acquisition of the remaining 51% ownership interest in Hi-Power, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Hi-Power, and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of Hi-Power have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
The consideration transferred for our now 100% ownership interest in connection with the acquisition, net of intercompany balances between the Company and Hi-Power, totaled $418, of which $205 represents the fair value of the Company’s previously held 49% ownership interest in Hi-Power. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company remeasured the previously held 49% ownership interest in Hi-Power at its Acquisition Date fair value. As of the Acquisition Date, a loss of $7,480 was recognized in earnings for the remeasurement of the previously held 49% ownership interest.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
Amount
Vendor deposits 818
Property, plant and equipment, net 74
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (3,634)
Provision for firm purchase commitments (3,890)
Net assets acquired, net of cash and cash equivalents of $53 (1) $ 365
(1) Net assets acquired exclude the intercompany balance between Eos and Hi-Power and cash acquired.
The Company expects the goodwill recognized as part of the acquisition will be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The Company also incurred insignificant non-consideration acquisition expenses including legal and accounting services related to the acquisition, which are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
4. Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenues comprised of the following:
For the Years Ended December 31,
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had one customer who accounted for 80.8% of the total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had two customers, who accounted for 36.8% and 21.4% of the total revenue.

4. Revenue Recognition (cont.)
December 31,
Contract assets increased by $631 during the year ended December 31, 2022 due to recognition of revenues for which invoicing has not yet occurred. Contract liabilities increased by $3,957 during the year ended December 31, 2022, reflecting $4,639 in customer advance payments, partially offset by the recognition of $682 of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.
Contract liabilities of $3,850 as of December 31, 2022 are expected to be recognized within the next twelve months and contract liabilities, long-term of $956 are expected to be recognized as revenue over approximately the next three years. Contract assets of $1,859 as of December 31, 2022 are expected to be recognized as accounts receivable within the next twelve months. Long-term contract assets of $141 are expected to be recognized as accounts receivable over approximately the next three years.
