First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
- We recognized
$0.2 million of revenue from our first Gen 2.3 container shipped to the Shell (Nayo) microgrid solar storage solution in Nigeria. - Cost of Sales of
$0.1 million include$1.7 million of costs incurred in the current quarter. These costs were partially offset by a$1.6 million reversal of a reserve for losses on firm purchase commitments that we had recorded in 4Q ’20. We reversed this accrual because the batteries that we acquired under the purchase commitment in Q1 were ultimately used for R&D purposes, and therefore were expensed within R&D expense in the first quarter. - Research and Development costs of
$5.1 million were$2.2 million higher related to testing UL certifications partially offset by the accrual reversal in cost of sales. Additionally, we invested in development expenses specific to Z3 technology. - General and administrative expenses of
$16.7 million include a$7.8 million expense associated with the acquisition of the remaining51% interest in Hi-Power. Furthermore, we incurred a$2.9 million increase in professional fees related to operating as a public company, including$1 million of non-recurring expenses and$2.5 million of higher stock compensation expenses. - As of March 31, 2021, Eos had cash and cash equivalents of
$101 million .

Eos reiterates its financial outlook for full year 2021 as follows:
- Revenue of
$50 million - Booked orders of
$300 million as of December 31, 2021 to meet our commitments in 2022+

Key Metrics
Backlog. Our backlog represents the amount of revenue that we expect to realize from existing agreements with our customers for the sale of our batteries and performance of services. The backlog is calculated by adding the orders of the current fiscal year to the backlog as of the end of the prior fiscal year and then subtracting the revenue recognized in the current fiscal year. If the amount of an order already recognized in the current or the previous fiscal years is modified or if an order from the current fiscal year is cancelled, we adjust orders for the current quarter and also our backlog accordingly, but do not retroactively adjust previously published backlogs. However, if an order from a previous fiscal year is cancelled, orders of the current quarter and, accordingly, the current fiscal year are generally not adjusted; instead, the existing backlog is revised directly. There is no comparable US-GAAP financial measure for backlog. We believe that the backlog is a useful indicator regarding the future revenue of our Company resulting from already recognized orders.
Pipeline. Our pipeline represents projects that we have submitted technical proposals or non-binding quotes plus customers with letter of intents or firm commitments. Pipeline does not include lead generation projects.
