Thank you, Kr and good afternoon, everyone.
謝謝Kr,大家下午好。
During last quarter's earnings call, I spoke about how excited I was to be at Bloom and how after one quarter of working with this team, I felt like our commercial opportunities positioned us well for revenue and profitability growth.
在上個季度的財報電話會議上,我談到了我對在Bloom 感到多麼興奮,以及在與這個團隊合作一個季度後,我覺得我們的商業機會使我們能夠很好地實現收入和盈利能力的增長。
Six months into the job.
入職六個月。
I have even greater conviction that our expanding set of solutions including micro grid load following carbon capture and combined heat and power solutions along with our increasing power density align.
我更加堅信,我們不斷擴大的解決方案(包括碳捕獲後的微電網負載和熱電聯產解決方案)與我們不斷增加的功率密度是一致的。
Well, with the requests that we see from our existing and potential customers, ALL 2,100 bloom employees are prepared to execute on this opportunity as we provide solutions to the critical problem of power at the point of use.
嗯,根據我們現有和潛在客戶的要求,所有 2,100 名 Bloom 員工都準備好抓住這個機會,為使用時的關鍵電力問題提供解決方案。
And as we continue to be a leader in the global energy transition, turning to near term results and outlook.
隨著我們繼續成為全球能源轉型的領導者,我們轉向近期業績和前景。
As you know, we generally recognize product revenue as we ship our energy servers for customer projects.
如您所知,我們通常在為客戶專案運送能源伺服器時確認產品收入。
These customer projects naturally have schedule variability, both positive and negative.
這些客戶專案自然會存在進度可變性,既有積極的也有消極的。
You've all seen this variability impact bloom in the past, pulling in or pushing out revenue by a quarter.
過去,大家都已經看到這種變化的影響不斷擴大,導致收入增加或減少四分之一。
Our second half 2024 is a case of this.
我們的 2024 年下半年就是一個例子。
And we recognize that our Q3 results and our expectations for Q4 reflect this natural variability because of the project we are currently executing.
我們認識到,由於我們目前正在執行的項目,我們第三季度的業績和對第四季度的預期反映了這種自然變化。
We have full confidence in delivering second half and full year results in line with the guidance that we have previously provided to reiterate, we expect revenue between $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion.
我們對實現下半年和全年業績充滿信心,符合我們先前提供的指導,並重申,我們預計收入在 14 億美元至 16 億美元之間。
Nongaap gross margin of approximately 28% and Non-GAAP operating income of $75 million to $100 million.
Nongaap 毛利率約 28%,非 GAAP 營業收入為 7,500 萬至 1 億美元。
Bloom is a growing company in a large changing market.
Bloom 是一家在不斷變化的市場中成長的公司。
I feel confident that we can deliver full year results even as we adjust to these market changes to provide a little more color on these changing market dynamics.
我相信,即使我們根據這些市場變化進行調整,為這些不斷變化的市場動態提供更多色彩,我們也能實現全年業績。
We've talked over the past few quarters about the steep rise in demand for electricity and the delays that us businesses are experiencing and getting additional power from their utilities.
在過去的幾個季度中,我們討論了電力需求的急劇增長以及美國企業正在經歷的從公用事業公司獲得額外電力的延遲。
This dynamic is playing out in our US commercial and industrial business where we see robust customer activity along with data center.
這種動態正在我們的美國商業和工業業務中上演,我們看到強勁的客戶活動以及資料中心。
This is fueling a mix shift towards the US even while our care shipments remain strong.
儘管我們的護理產品出貨量仍然強勁,但這正在推動向美國的混合轉變。
Further our time to power.
進一步我們掌權的時間。
Customers have an urgent need to grow their businesses and meet their own market demands for these customers.
客戶迫切需要發展他們的業務並滿足這些客戶自己的市場需求。
We are booking shipping and recognizing revenue within a relatively shorter time frame and we do try to prioritize customers with time urgent requirements.
我們在相對較短的時間內預訂運輸並確認收入,我們確實嘗試優先考慮時間緊迫的客戶。
As you can imagine this dynamic along with larger project sizes and complexity is part of why we're seeing this year's quarter to quarter variability and also why we have confidence in achieving our full year goals through all of this, our top priority is profitable growth.
正如您可以想像的那樣,這種動態以及更大的專案規模和複雜性是我們看到今年季度與季度變化的部分原因,也是我們有信心透過這一切實現全年目標的部分原因,我們的首要任務是獲利成長。
We expect that emphasis to show in our Q4 results as well as in 2025 crucial to that profitability is our continued focus on product cost reductions.
我們預計第四季度的業績以及 2025 年的業績中將體現出對盈利能力至關重要的重點是我們繼續關注產品成本降低。
Our technology engineering and manufacturing teams have consistently been able to reduce the cost of our core energy servers by 10% or more per year.
我們的技術工程和製造團隊始終能夠將核心能源伺服器的成本每年降低 10% 或更多。
And we have a roadmap for future progress at a similar rate.
我們有一個未來以類似速度取得進展的路線圖。
Turning to our Q3 results revenue for the quarter was $330.4 million.
轉向我們第三季的業績,該季的營收為 3.304 億美元。
A decrease of 17.5% over the third quarter of 2023 which as a reminder was positively impacted by a large repowering Q3 revenue was also down slightly from Q2 largely due to a decline in install revenue.
較 2023 年第三季下降 17.5%,這是受到第三季大規模重新供電的正面影響,也較第二季略有下降,主要原因是安裝收入下降。
While product revenue increased by $7.5 million and service revenue was flattish.
產品收入成長了 750 萬美元,而服務收入則持平。
This revenue dynamic also led to a sequential improvement in gross margin.
這種收入動態也導致毛利率持續改善。
While Nongaap gross margin of 25.2% was down from 31.6% in the third quarter of 2023 it increased from last quarter's 21.8% as mix shifted towards product.
雖然 Nongaap 的毛利率為 25.2%,低於 2023 年第三季的 31.6%,但隨著產品組合轉向產品,該毛利率較上季的 21.8% 有所上升。
And our product cost reductions continued in line with our expectations.
我們的產品成本降低繼續符合我們的預期。
Our service business was again profitable in Q3, we continue to expect service to be profitable for the full year 2024 which would be the first time in Bloom's history that service is profitable across a full year.
我們的服務業務在第三季再次實現盈利,我們仍然預計服務業務將在 2024 年全年實現盈利,這將是 Bloom 歷史上首次服務全年盈利。
Nongaap operating profit for the third quarter.
Nongaap 第三季營業利潤。
Was $8.1 million.
是810萬美元。
A decrease of $43.7 million from the third quarter of 2023 and an increase from Q2's $3.2 million loss.
較 2023 年第三季減少 4,370 萬美元,較第二季 320 萬美元的虧損增加。
Nongaap Eps was a loss of a penny per share.
Nongaap Eps 每股虧損一便士。
Cash flow from operating activities was an outflow of $69 million in the third quarter.
第三季經營活動現金流出6900萬美元。
Primarily the increases in receivables due to timing of transactions and an increase in inventory made to meet anticipated demand.
主要是由於交易時間和為滿足預期需求而增加庫存而導致的應收帳款增加。
In Q4, we still expect cash flow from operations to be positive for the second half of 2024.
在第四季度,我們仍然預計 2024 年下半年的營運現金流將為正值。
We ended the quarter with $549 million total cash on the balance sheet.
本季結束時,我們的資產負債表上的現金總額為 5.49 億美元。
As we discussed last quarter, changes in our product mix are impacting the way we use certain metrics to manage our business.
正如我們上季度所討論的,我們產品組合的變化正在影響我們使用某些指標來管理業務的方式。
Specifically, we're reevaluating our use of key operating metrics including measures on a per kilowatt basis as our offerings evolve and expand the cost of our core energy server as a percentage of total product cost can vary significantly depending on the solution offered.
具體來說,隨著我們的產品的發展和核心能源伺服器成本的擴大,我們正在重新評估關鍵營運指標的使用,包括以每千瓦為基礎的衡量標準,因為根據所提供的解決方案,佔產品總成本的百分比可能會大不相同。
For example, we package our energy servers on skids to accelerate installation time essential in a world where time to power is critical to many customers.
例如,我們將能源伺服器包裝在滑軌上,以加快安裝時間,這對許多客戶來說供電時間至關重要。
This adds value to our solutions that is not accurately reflected in a per kilowatt measure.
這為我們的解決方案增加了價值,而這一價值並未準確反映在每千瓦的衡量標準中。
Similarly engineering solutions to increase our power density such as stackable energy servers combined heat and power solutions, carbon capture solutions and our increasingly popular microgrid solutions all increase both value and cost in a way that is not necessarily correlated to the kilowatts or megawatts of a particular project.
Similarly engineering solutions to increase our power density such as stackable energy servers combined heat and power solutions, carbon capture solutions and our increasingly popular microgrid solutions all increase both value and cost in a way that is not necessarily correlated to the kilowatts or megawatts of a particular專案.
We are committed to providing investors with the right level of useful information and we intend to provide the right set of metrics that will simply and clearly help investors model and analyze our business to conclude our commercial opportunities remain robust and we are on track to show improved financial results as we scale, we are extremely focused on positioning bloom to scale profitably.
我們致力於為投資者提供適當水平的有用信息,並且我們打算提供正確的指標集,這些指標將簡單而清晰地幫助投資者建模和分析我們的業務,以得出我們的商業機會仍然強勁的結論,並且我們有望展示出改進的成果隨著我們規模的擴大,我們的財務表現非常注重定位,以實現盈利。
As we continue to provide clean, reliable solutions for the world's evolving energy needs.
我們將繼續為世界不斷變化的能源需求提供清潔、可靠的解決方案。

Hey guys, thanks for taking the question and congrats on some strong commercial progress with those announcements tonight.
大家好,感謝您提出問題,並祝賀今晚這些公告取得了一些強勁的商業進展。
I guess I want to, you know, maybe take a look at or ask a question about how you're thinking about the roll forward to 2025.
我想,你知道,也許我想看看或問一個問題,看看你是如何看待推遲到 2025 年的。
I know you're not giving specific guidance on that, but just with the ITC schedule to phase down with the election.
我知道您並沒有就此提供具體指導,而只是根據 ITC 時間表逐步減少選舉。
Now behind us, can you just give us any directional comment about how you're thinking about the setup for 2025.
現在,您可以就您對 2025 年設定的看法向我們提供任何方向性的評論嗎?
Obviously, we're sitting in November now.
顯然,我們現在正處於十一月。
So I assume you have some view of where your backlog stands.

So anything directionally that you can help us in terms of where we should be expecting revenue and maybe margins to trend as we look forward into 2025.
因此,在我們展望 2025 年時,您可以在我們預期收入和利潤趨勢方面提供任何方向性的幫助。
And then my follow up question would just be around the data center opportunity, apologies if I missed this in the prepared remarks.
然後我的後續問題將圍繞資料中心機會,如果我在準備好的評論中錯過了這一點,我深表歉意。
But can you give us an update in terms of where you stand?
但您能為我們介紹一下您的最新立場嗎?
Obviously, you're making some good progress outside of data centers with your traditional commercial and industrial customer base as it relates to data centers?
顯然,您在資料中心以外的傳統商業和工業客戶群中取得了一些與資料中心相關的良好進展?
I think entering the year you were talking about maybe announcing some rather large data centers by year end of 2024.
我認為進入您所說的這一年,可能會在 2024 年底之前宣布一些相當大的資料中心。
What's your latest thinking there in terms of timeline and maybe what's some key milestones that we should be keeping a look for.
您在時間表方面的最新想法是什麼,也許我們應該專注於一些關鍵的里程碑。

Hello, you know, thank you so much for those two questions.
您好,您知道,非常感謝您提出這兩個問題。
So on the first part, in terms of where we are seeing the commercial pipeline, what we're seeing, let me break that Up into two parts, right?
因此,在第一部分中,就我們在哪裡看到商業管道而言,我們所看到的,讓我將其分為兩部分,對吧?
The first is our traditional business as you have seen. Over. The. Last 3 to 4 years. What we are seeing is a significant.Uptake in the US commercial and industrial market.Our courier volumes.Are.Stable.And. Strong but the growth we are clearly seeing in the UC. Which we think is really good because it's across sectors, it's across regions here in the US and certain new states are opening up for.Us.
第一個是我們的傳統業務,正如您所看到的。超過。這。最近3到4年。我們看到的是美國商業和工業市場的顯著成長。強勁,但我們在加州大學看到了明顯的成長。我們認為這真的很好,因為它跨行業、跨美國地區,而且某些新州正在向美國開放。
All this put together, we believe that that.Core.Business.As we have called it over the.Years in the US is very strong, that will.Continue that.Way.
所有這些加在一起,我們相信,核心業務,正如我們多年來所說的那樣,在美國非常強大,將會繼續下去。
As I see it in 20.25.We think that data centers.And the opportunity specifically with large A I data centers.Is going to.Happen.
正如我在 20.25 所看到的。
We are in active negotiations with multiple partners.
我們正在與多個合作夥伴進行積極談判。
We are happy with the progress. Would I be, would I want more urgency on the speed?
我們對進展感到高興。我會,我會想要更迫切的速度嗎?
You bet you, you know, you bet you, I would.Want to see that.But these are complex deals.
你打賭你,你知道,你打賭你,我會。
But they're all.Moving in the right direction.
但他們都在朝著正確的方向前進。
So can I handicap.It for.A.Particular date.
那麼我可以在特定日期限制它嗎?
On the calendar?
日曆上?
No, but can I tell you, we expect to have some good news in that area soon based on where.Everything is trending?The answer is absolutely yes.Next question please.
不,但我可以告訴你,我們預計很快就會在該領域收到一些好消息。

One question, what I really liked about this press release was that you had three orders with three different markets.
一個問題,我真正喜歡這篇新聞稿的一點是,你在三個不同的市場收到了三個訂單。
And that's, I mean, there's a lot of focus on data centers but diversity also matters and going ahead.
我的意思是,人們非常關注資料中心,但多樣性也很重要並繼續前進。
Should we think about the diversity as like these three areas where you'll be providing to utilities?
我們是否應該像您將向公用事業提供服務的這三個領域一樣考慮多元化?
In the US maybe power internationally and then the data center.
在美國,可能會為國際供電,然後是資料中心。
So should we expect that the three diverse markets you showed us in this press release, that trend will continue.
因此,我們是否應該期望您在本新聞稿中向我們展示的三個不同的市場,這種趨勢將會持續下去。

Man is very good observation.
人的觀察力很好。
You're absolutely right.
你是絕對正確的。
There are two things about your order book, right?
您的訂單簿有兩件事,對嗎?
It is the orders you have, but also the quality of the order book and diversity of orders, both in terms of sectors and.
這是您擁有的訂單,也是訂單簿的品質和訂單的多樣性,無論是在行業還是在方面。
Geography is a huge deal as you think about building a company, not just for the next quarter, but for a decade to come and you.Know.Many decades to come.
當你考慮建立一家公司時,地理位置是一件大事,不僅僅是為了下個季度,而是為了未來十年,你知道,未來幾十年。
I'm.Particularly.Thrilled about these three orders and where they are.So I think you broke it down nicely.
我對這三個訂單及其所在位置感到特別興奮,所以我認為你很好地分解了它。
The shortage of power that we are all seeing.Not just.
我們都看到了電力短缺。
In the US.But we start seeing that in other geographies too.
在美國。
We have already started seeing them in places like.Dublin.And Ireland and Frankfurt and Germany and Singapore.You know, like places like that. Now, it's not just about generation.It's.About transmission.
我們已經開始在都柏林、愛爾蘭、法蘭克福、德國和新加坡等地看到它們。現在,這不僅僅是關於一代,而是關於傳播。
Transmission in the US is going to be a bottleneck for a very long time to come.
美國的傳輸將在未來很長一段時間內成為瓶頸。
So our asset becomes both a transmission asset and the end user as well. So to help the utility mitigate the long cycles, it's going to take them.To get transmission to where they need to supply the power.To their customer. A short circuit.To that would.Be to use our box in front of the.Meter.Not have to do transmission.Upgrades and.Supply large blocks of.Power to a customer. You are seeing examples of that with.SVP.And now with the latest announcement that we made in southern California.Expect to see.More of that. The quanta.On the other hand, is in places where the utility because of its regulation or becauseOf other priorities does not want to do that with us.
因此,我們的資產既成為傳輸資產,也成為最終用戶。因此,為了幫助公用事業公司緩解長週期,他們需要將電力傳輸到他們需要供電的地方。短路。您正在看到高級副總裁的例子。另一方面,量子是在公用事業公司由於其監管或其他優先事項而不想與我們合作的地方。
The.Customer has the choice of coming to us and asking us to.Be behind the meter.And it's the same solution.
客戶可以選擇來找我們並要求我們在儀表後面。
It's just who is going to deliver the power to whom, right, whether it's the.Utility providing the clean, reliable, always on power.To the.Customer.Using.Our boxes.Or the customer directly getting it from us.
這只是誰要向誰提供電力,對吧,無論是向使用我們的盒子的客戶提供清潔、可靠、始終通電的公用事業,還是直接從我們這裡獲得電力的客戶。
Without the, we think they both will play in different places for different reasons.
如果沒有,我們認為他們都會因為不同的原因在不同的地方踢球。
On top of that, I think you asked, you know, if you, so there you have those deals.
最重要的是,我想你問過,你知道,如果你,那麼你就有了這些交易。
The third part is we think international for us going forward in the next few years is not.Just going to be Korea, we are making good strides in other parts, Europe is a good.
第三部分是我們認為國際化對我們未來幾年的發展來說不是。
Example, other parts of Asia, we think Taiwan is a phenomenal opportunity going forward.
例如,在亞洲其他地區,我們認為台灣是一個巨大的未來機會。
And so we think that these markets are going to open up.
因此我們認為這些市場將會開放。
So what you're going to see.Is diversity in geography, diversity.In.Customers, you know.Like diversity in sectors, giving us a business that can be less and less.Prone to.Cycles in the market.
所以你會看到的是地理上的多樣性,客戶的多樣性,你知道。

I appreciate the opportunity to ask a question here.
我很高興有機會在這裡提問。
We noted that you all are expanding manufacturing capacity at the Fremont facility.
我們注意到你們都在擴大弗里蒙特工廠的生產能力。
I guess, I guess I just want to ask a question on, you know, can you comment on the rationale behind that capacity expansion?
我想,我想我只是想問一個問題,你能評論一下產能擴張背後的理由嗎?
Is it indicative of demand increases?
這是否表示需求增加?

K. R. Sridhar - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Founder
K. R. Sridhar - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Founder
Very good question.
非常好的問題。
So we have expanded our capacity in Fremont where we will have a gigawatt worth of capacity next year for our fuel cells.
因此,我們擴大了弗里蒙特的產能,明年我們的燃料電池產能將達到千兆瓦。
And the answer is very simple.
答案很簡單。
We are not going to build capacity expecting they come.
我們不會期望他們來就建立能力。
We.Think that this market is growing.Rapidly and.This is.Something we will do.
我們認為這個市場正在快速成長,這是我們要做的事情。
In fact.Let me tell you that we have enough space there and in six.To nine month time frames, we can add an additional gigawatt to that gigawatt.As needed.
事實上,讓我告訴你,我們在那裡有足夠的空間,在六到九個月的時間框架內,我們可以根據需要在該千兆瓦的基礎上再增加一千兆瓦。
And so not only are we do we have a.Time toPower play.
因此,我們不僅有一個「Time to Power」遊戲。
We have a time to expansion play so we can expand more rapidly than most people can andBe able.To meet this voracious demand that's going to be out there in the marketplace.So we not only selected.The factory and the.Size but also how we scale to be able to scale extremely quickly as we see the demand go up and.

克里斯,我只想補充一點,正如你可能想的那樣,我們仍然非常清楚我們對獲利成長的承諾,並且非常注意我們如何使用現金。
So to reiterate what Kr said, we will expand as we see demand, we believe that we are able to expand our capacity rapidly enough to meet demand.
因此,重申一下 Kr 所說的,我們將根據需求進行擴張,我們相信我們能夠足夠快地擴大產能以滿足需求。
So we won't fall short.
所以我們不會落後。
We have the time to do it.
我們有時間去做。
We'll spend our wisely.
我們會明智地花錢。
You will note that as I said in my prepared remarks, our inventories went up this quarter and that's because we expect demand and we're doing that, we're making the right investments as we see the demand as we see the commercial activity increasing for, for and beyond.
您會注意到,正如我在準備好的發言中所說,我們的庫存本季有所增加,這是因為我們預計會有需求,而且我們正在這樣做,我們正在做出正確的投資,因為我們看到需求,因為我們看到商業活動增加為了、為了、超越。
So we will do this in a very measured, very controlled.

So look how we, how we recognize revenue.Depends on the contract.And you know, there are multiple contracts in some place in some cases and they are fairly small, it would be we can recognize revenue when we turn the power off. In other cases, it is when we should irrespective of what it is.
那麼看看我們如何,我們如何確認收入。在其他情況下,無論是什麼情況,我們都應該這樣做。
Ultimately, it is in our interest.Because we are serving a customer.To turn their power on as quickly as possible.
最終,這符合我們的利益。
So now let meExplain that process, independent.Of us having received direct.Revenue recognition.It's important for us.That we serve.Our customer right by turning that power on as.Quickly as possible.
現在讓我解釋一下這個過程,獨立的。
So in most cases, by the time our servers free gas is already facilitated.The electrical interconnection is already.Facilitated.
因此,在大多數情況下,當我們的伺服器自由氣體已經實現時。
Those permissions are there, the site is already.Prepared.
這些權限已經有了,網站已經準備好了。
So the process of literally connecting three interfaces, electrical water and gas to our system because all the communication is wireless is ready and it is done and there will be a local inspection for fire safety gas, all that.
因此,由於所有通訊都是無線的,因此將三個介面、水電和燃氣連接到我們的系統的過程已經準備就緒,並且已經完成,並且將對消防安全氣體進行本地檢查,所有這些。

The variance on that time can be pretty large. One important point to highlight here.Is the fact that now our units are all platform mounted.

This is the skids is we can.Simply drop that.Skid without having to pour concrete without having to do anything and be able to connect.It shortened our process so much.

I also want to ask a question on the 80 megawatt award something you mentioned in the press release about the project financing there.
我還想問一個關於 80 兆瓦獎勵的問題,您在有關專案融資的新聞稿中提到過這一點。
And I was just kind of curious, is this something new that lenders are willing to, they're comfortable enough with the bloom technology to offer project financing on projects using the bloom servers or is it something new?
我只是有點好奇,這是貸方願意的新事物嗎?
And how important do you think this is?
您認為這有多重要?
K. R. Sridhar - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Founder
K. R. Sridhar - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Founder
So that's a great question.
這是一個很好的問題。
So let me answer it in the following way, Martin until rules changed and everything happened, the only process through which these fuel cells were getting deployed was an auction process. The.Auction.Process typically happened with the large electric companies that are owned by the Korean government.So it was very different.Now that.Auction processNow requires developers to come.And develop projects.On their own. And so.Financing becomes very.Important. But we had stated earlier that.The auctionProcess is just one mechanism through which we can sell.
因此,讓我用以下方式回答這個問題,馬丁,直到規則改變並且一切都發生了,部署這些燃料電池的唯一過程是拍賣過程。拍賣過程通常發生在韓國政府擁有的大型電力公司中。所以,融資就變得非常、非常重要。但我們之前已經說過,拍賣過程只是我們出售的機制。
Our.Partners are.Capable.Of developing processes or opportunities outside the auction process.And not only to be able to develop this process outside but find a financier.Of the.Caliber.Of Korea Development.Bank because.This is your blue chip financier.
我們的合作夥伴有能力在拍賣流程之外開發流程或機會。
So your question.Is very appropriate and the answer is yes, it is because of theperformance of bloom for a little over seven years that we have.Been there.
所以你的問題是非常恰當的,答案是肯定的,正是因為七年多一點的綻放的表現,我們才一直在那裡。
And how comfortable they are getting.With our technology that a financier like that is coming and willing to.Backstop.A long term contract.It's a very goodSign.For us going.Forward.

嘿,Kr,謝謝大家。
I appreciate you taking my question.
我很感謝你回答我的問題。
I know you talked earlier in the year about making some adjustments to both your sales team and your sales process, just as some of these deals in the very close to hundreds of megawatts go up to the C suite for customers at some point.
我知道您在今年早些時候談到對您的銷售團隊和銷售流程進行一些調整,就像其中一些接近數百兆瓦的交易在某個時候會上升到客戶的最高管理層一樣。
Just wondering if you could talk to any traction you've been getting with these new processes.
只是想知道您是否可以談談這些新流程對您的吸引力。
And specifically, if you think there's going to be a long sale cycle going forward or if maybe there will be an acceleration after the first one or two larger deals are signed.
具體來說,如果您認為未來的銷售週期將會很長,或者在簽署第一筆或兩筆較大交易後可能會加速。
Thank you.
謝謝。

大衛.
Thank you this.
謝謝你這個。
So, you know, let me start with the last part.
所以,你知道,讓我從最後一部分開始。
First, I.Think, I think the.First couple when you breaking and into any new market is always.The hardest.
首先,我認為,我認為,當你闖入任何新市場時,第一對夫婦總是最困難的。
It takes.The longest.
這需要最長的時間。
That is.The typical cycle that we.Have seen when we enter any segment or any geography.And this is similar, but in many cases, some of.These end users are very familiar with our technology.You know.It's.Not a technology issue.It's a multi party issue.Okay?When something.This large is installed, there are multiple parties.Involved as you can imagine and bringing multiple parties together, making sure all the interests are met.
那就是。問題。
And.You know, there is a proper deal.To put together.And when you're doing it for the first time, there's a lot of back and forth.
而且,你知道,有一個合適的交易。
So what is going on right now is not.Discussing whether we.Should do something or not do something or figuring out.The technology qualified, there's nobody in the data center market that will say that Bloom energy technology.Cannot properly support the data center.
所以現在發生的事情不是。
So the technology.Qualified.
所以技術。
So this is more on the on the commercial process. And like I said in my remarks, it takes a minute.
所以這更多的是關於商業過程。正如我在發言中所說,這需要一分鐘。
Okay.I would like to see it happen in seconds living in Silicon Valley, but.It does take a minute.
好吧,我希望在矽谷生活中看到這一切在幾秒鐘內發生,但是,這確實需要一分鐘。
So.Be.Patient.
所以,要有耐心。
We are hoping.That we can come back to you soon with some news. Thank you.
我們希望能夠盡快為您帶來一些消息。謝謝。

Hi, thank you.
你好,謝謝。
I just had one on on the bigger picture.
我只是在更大的圖景上放了一張。
Bigger picture question on cost reduction.
關於降低成本的更大問題。
Curious if you can talk about the timeline on future product generations and the impact they may have on your cost road map.
很好奇您能否談談未來產品的時間表以及它們可能對您的成本路線圖產生的影響。
Thank.
感謝。

You. Thank you, Brad.
你。謝謝你,布拉德。
That's a very good question. So the way to think about what we bring to the table is not just product.Generations, it is really about the attributes.Of the product.But the key attribute being.If we reduce the cost.We increase the affordability and we increase our competitiveness in.Markets.Where we are just sitting onThe edge of being competitive with the grid, right?
這是一個非常好的問題。因此,思考我們帶來什麼的方式不僅僅是產品。與電網競爭的邊緣,對嗎?
So for both those.Reasons, affordability and expansion of market.As well as expansion of margin cost reduction.Is super important.It's been in our DNA.
因此,出於這兩個原因,可承受性和市場擴張,以及利潤成本降低的擴張。
We do that every single year and you know, last year we had a double digit.This year, we will have a double digit cost reduction.And I absolutely expect nothing less than a double digit cost election next year and this will.Continue. So we look for the best.Ways to bring that.Cost reduction while we are adding.
我們每年都會這樣做,你知道,去年我們的成本達到了兩位數。因此,我們尋找最好的方法來實現這一目標,同時在增加的同時降低成本。
Features.To our product. So exactly where we bring that cost production today.
特點。這正是我們今天的成本生產的所在。
If you think about it, the islanded microgrid.Making our products suitable.For islanding. Let me explain this to.You because that's not a common word.
如果您考慮一下,孤島微電網。讓我跟你解釋一下,因為這不是常用詞。
Everybody understands right.
大家都理解的沒錯。
An islanded solution of ours means that.It is.Absolutely not connected to the grid and the unit supports the power in the building.
我們的孤島解決方案意味著,它絕對不會連接到電網,並且該裝置支援建築物內的電力。
Then what do you need to do?
那你需要做什麼?
The load in the.Building goes.Up.And down, it can be turned on, it can be turned off and in the morning tonight.Peak times.Load changes. People are not familiar with a.Solid oxide fuel.Cell being able to load follow.And we never.Sold load following before.
大樓裡的負載有上有下,可以開,可以關,今晚早上尖峰時段,負載變化。人們不熟悉固態氧化物燃料。
Our new products allow us to be able to follow the load for a customer.And not depend on the grid as a flywheel to go up and down to take care of the.You know, net metering.Is not going.To work when the grid is not able to take care of its own needs properly.So bloom.Solution is so much superior than it can island.And not rely onThe grid.
我們的新產品讓我們能夠跟隨客戶的負載。解決方案比它可以孤島優越得多。
It takes away the congestion from the grid, it takes.Away the dependence on the grid.So these are the places now we are more.Focused on.Making advancements and bringing.Costs down.Rather than just thinking about what is the next release.
它消除了電網的擁堵,它消除了對電網的依賴。
Our next releases now are a combination of better fuel.Cells with better features.But I want you to understand we're doing all this.And still continuing to bring the cost down.More features lower cost.
我們的下一個版本現在是更好的燃料、電池和更好的功能的組合。

So I'll just add, as K said, it is about adding more value to our customers.
所以我要補充一點,正如 K 所說,這是為了為我們的客戶增加更多價值。
But rest assured, I have to give a shout out to our manufacturer operations.
但請放心,我必須對我們的製造商營運大聲疾呼。
Our engineering teams, they are maniacal about improving the quality reliability cost of the product.
我們的工程團隊熱衷於提高產品的品質可靠性成本。
And so those folks do a tremendous job every single day.
所以這些人每天都做著巨大的工作。
And even as we add more value with these new solutions, we are maniacal about.
即使我們透過這些新解決方案增加了更多價值,我們也對此感到瘋狂。
That operations discipline and focus.

We there is.Plenty in the market.Today.Opportunities.That we bring in a valuable solution to a customer and we value price. You know, the gas turbine market is hundreds of gigawatts and they will keep selling.Where.They sell.And they should be.But the things that we can do.A.Gas turbineCannot.
我們有。你知道,燃氣渦輪機市場有數百吉瓦,他們將繼續銷售。

I had a question regarding ESK partnership. Do you expect to maybe drive a higher bid win rate if you did full manufacturing in South Korea to maybe complement your high assembly step?
我對 ESK 合作關係有疑問。如果您在韓國進行全面製造以補充您的高組裝步驟,您是否預計會提高中標率?
Just wondering if that might convert to more wins.
只是想知道這是否會轉化為更多的勝利。

在韓國,SK a.很多組裝工作都在我們的核心技術之外,我們稱之為熱箱。
Is done in Korea.
是在韓國完成的。
Yes.It leads to not.Only the cost benefits you.Talked about but a very important localization we bring to a country when.We enter that market to create a win, win for.That countryAnd in addition to that given, given that, you know, like.Tariff regime that we have lived in and we will definitely live in for the next few years.Those units being assembled in Korea and shipped to.Those customers do not have to undergo those tariffs.
是的。到,你知道,就像。
So they're all benefits.
所以它們都是好處。
But the core technology is not something that we will do anywhere other than in places that we have absolute control on.
但核心技術不是我們在任何地方都可以做的,除非是在我們有絕對控制權的地方。

The third is that.We're.Excited about our robust and.Growing sales prospects. And as we look in the marketplace, we see that.Our US C and business there is an.Uptick and it's accelerating.And we think because.Of the macros.That we see in theElectricity market, it will only continue.

The fourth thing is the dynamics in the marketplace is.Very much in our favor time to power.Fer regulation saying.If you are going to connect, you need to bring additionality, all those things are.Clearly playing in our favor data centers and entire A I.Supply chain is going to create a demand.
第四件事是市場的動態。鏈將創造需求。
Unlike any other that we have ever seen.Since Edison put a grid together and we are hand in glove.For that.Market.
與我們見過的其他任何東西都不一樣。
