First Quarter 2021 Financial and Operating Results
Financial Results
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2021, revenues increased 275% to $15.4 million versus $4.1 million in the same quarter last year. Higher hardware revenue from FTM partnership agreements, and more services revenue from host customer arrangements, drove the year-over year increase.
Gross Margin (GAAP) was $(0.1) million or (1)% versus $(1.4) million or (34)% in the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP Gross Margin was $2.9 million or 19% versus $0.0 million or 1% in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year increase in Non-GAAP Gross Margin resulted from an increased mix of software service revenues and higher-margin hardware deliveries.
Net Loss increased to $(82.6) million versus $(17.5) million in the same period last year. The larger loss was primarily due to a $66 million non-cash charge from the revaluation of warrants tied to an increase in the value of the underlying stock, partially offset by higher margins and lower operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA was $(4.1) million compared to $(9.7) million in the same quarter last year. The improved Adjusted EBITDA results were driven by higher gross margins and lower operating expenses, reflecting the success in Stem’s channel strategy driving lower customer acquisition costs.
Operating Results
Contracted Assets Under Management (“AUM”) more than doubled year-over-year to 1.10 GWh, driven by increased commercial activity and the addition of the 345 megawatt hour (MWh) Electrodes Holdings, LLC portfolio. Contracted AUM increased by 10% sequentially as new systems came in service.
The Company’s 12-month forward Pipeline was $1.43 billion as of March 31, 2021 representing significant year-over-year growth. The Gross Pipeline was $1.27 billion as of March 31, 2020. The Company updated its definition of Pipeline from “Gross” to “12-month forward” during 2020.
Contracted Backlog increased 20% sequentially, from $184 million as of December 31, 2020 to $221 million as of March 31, 2021. The increase in contracted backlog resulted from strong bookings of $51 million tied to increased commercial activity, particularly in the FTM market, which more than offset recognized revenue. The growth in bookings represents a 150% year over year increase from the $20M recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Business Highlights
On April 28, 2021, Stem completed its business combination with Star Peak, and on April 29, 2021 began trading under the ticker symbol “STEM” on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). All prior Stem shareholders rolled 100% of their equity holdings into the new public company.
On April 14, 2021, Stem announced it had completed six months of successful operation of the 345 MWh energy storage portfolio owned by Electrodes. Customers in the 86-site portfolio realized more than 30% greater monthly energy savings compared to the previous software provider. Stem seamlessly onboarded the portfolio to its AthenaTM smart energy storage software within two months of being awarded the exclusive contract.
On March 2, 2021, Stem announced the installation of its largest Massachusetts “solar plus storage” site. Located in Haverhill, MA, the 9 MWh battery will generate revenues from multiple value streams by enabling Stem’s partner Kearsarge Energy’s storage system to participate in the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) program, New England wholesale energy markets, and Massachusetts’s Clean Peak Energy Standard program.
Outlook
The Company reaffirms its previously issued guidance, which includes revenue of $147 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $(25) million for the full year 2021. Consistent with prior guidance, Stem reaffirms the remaining expected 2021 quarterly revenue as follows: 2Q 5-15%, 3Q 20-30%, 4Q 50-60%.
The Company has contracted for sufficient supply chain commitments to meet its 2021 revenue goal and will continue to diversify its supply chain, adopt alternative technologies, and utilize its balance sheet to meet the significant growth in customer demand.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, such as Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this release. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
