Description of Business

As a leading provider of comprehensive hydrogen fuel cell turnkey solutions, Plug Power Inc., or the Company, is seeking to build a ~~leading provider of alternative energy technology~~green hydrogen economy. The Company is focused on ~~the design, development, commercialization and manufacture of~~ hydrogen and fuel cell systems that are used to power electric motors primarily ~~for~~in the electric mobility and stationary power ~~markets.~~markets, given the ongoing paradigm shift in the power, energy, and transportation industries to address climate change, energy security, and meet sustainability goals. Plug Power created the first commercially viable market for hydrogen fuel cell, or the HFC technology. As ~~part of the global drive to electrification,~~a result, the Company has ~~recently leveraged product proven in~~deployed over 38,000 fuel cell systems, and has become the ~~material handling vehicle space to enter new, adjacent, electric vehicle markets, specifically electric delivery vans.~~largest buyer of liquid hydrogen, having built and operated a hydrogen network across North America.

We are focused on proton exchange membrane, or PEM, fuel cell and fuel processing technologies, fuel cell/battery hybrid technologies, and associated hydrogen storage and dispensing infrastructure from which multiple products are available. A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and heat without combustion. Hydrogen is derived from ~~hydrocarbon fuels such as liquid petroleum gas (LPG), propane, methanol, ethanol, gasoline or biofuels.~~multiple sources. The ~~Company develops complete hydrogen generation, delivery, storage and refueling solutions for customer locations. Currently the Company obtains the~~ majority of ~~its~~liquid hydrogen ~~by purchasing it~~in the United States is produced using the steam methane reforming process and utilizing by-product hydrogen from ~~fuel suppliers for resale~~chlor alkali production. By-product hydrogen from a chlor alkali plant is considered to ~~customers.~~

~~In our core business, we provide and continue to develop commercially-viable~~be low carbon hydrogen and ~~fuel cell product solutions to replace lead‑acid batteries~~ in ~~electric material handling vehicles~~some cases, considered green hydrogen, depending on the source of electricity and ~~industrial trucks for some~~geographic location. We source a significant amount of liquid hydrogen based on the world’s largest retail-distribution and manufacturing businesses. We are focusing our efforts on industrial mobility applications (electric forklifts and electric industrial vehicles) at multi‑shift high volume manufacturing and high throughput distribution sites where our products and services provide a unique combination of productivity, flexibility and environmental benefits.chlor alkali process today. Additionally, we manufacture and sell fuel cell products to replace batteries and diesel generators in stationary backup power applications. These products ~~prove~~have proven valuable with telecommunications, transportation and utility customers as robust, reliable and sustainable power solutions.

We provide and continue to develop commercially-viable hydrogen and fuel cell solutions for industrial mobility applications (including electric forklifts and electric industrial vehicles) at multi-shift high volume manufacturing and high throughput distribution sites where we believe our products and services provide a unique combination of productivity, flexibility and environmental benefits. In June of 2020, Plug Power completed the acquisitions of United Hydrogen Group, Inc. and Giner ELX, Inc. in line with the Company’s hydrogen vertical integration strategy, with plans to have more than 50% of the hydrogen used by the Company to be green by 2024. These acquisitions further enhance Plug Power’s position in the hydrogen industry with capabilities in generation, liquefaction and distribution of hydrogen fuel complementing its industry-leading position in the design, construction, and operation of customer-facing hydrogen fueling stations. These acquisitions establish a pathway for Plug Power to transition from low-carbon to zero-carbon hydrogen solutions.

Our current products and services include:

GenDrive: GenDrive is our hydrogen fueled PEM fuel cell system providing power to material handling electric vehicles, including class 1, 2, 3 and 6 electric forklifts and ground support equipment;

GenFuel: GenFuel is our hydrogen fueling delivery, generation, storage and dispensing system;

GenCare: GenCare is our ongoing ‘internet of things’-based maintenance and on-site service program for GenDrive fuel ~~cells,~~cell systems, GenSure ~~products,~~fuel cell systems, GenFuel hydrogen storage and dispensing products and ProGen fuel cell engines;

GenSure: GenSure is our stationary fuel cell solution providing scalable, modular PEM fuel cell power to support the backup and grid-support power requirements of the telecommunications, transportation, and utility sectors;

GenKey: GenKey is our vertically integrated “turn-key” solution combining either GenDrive or GenSure fuel cell power with GenFuel fuel and GenCare aftermarket service, offering complete simplicity to customers transitioning to fuel cell power; and

ProGen: ProGen is our fuel cell stack and engine technology currently used globally in mobility and stationary fuel cell systems, and as engines in electric delivery vans. This includes the Plug Power MEA (membrane electrode assembly), a critical component of the fuel cell stack used in zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicle engines, in which Plug Power is the largest producer in North America.

We provide our products worldwide through our direct product sales force, and by leveraging relationships with original equipment manufacturers and their dealer networks. We manufacture our commercially-viable products in Latham, ~~NY.~~NY, Rochester, NY and Spokane, WA and support liquid hydrogen generation and logistics in Charleston, TN.

Liquidity

~~We were organized as a corporation in the State of Delaware on June 27, 1997.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Liquidity~~

Our cash requirements relate primarily to working capital needed to operate and grow our business, including funding operating expenses, growth in inventory to support both shipments of new units and servicing the installed base, growth in equipment leased to customers under long-term arrangements, funding the growth in our GenKey “turn-key” solution, which includes the installation of our customers’ hydrogen infrastructure as well as production and delivery of the hydrogen fuel, continued development and expansion of our products, payment of lease/financing obligations under sale/leaseback financings, and the repayment or refinancing of our long-term debt. Our ability to achieve profitability and meet future liquidity needs and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the timing and quantity of product orders and shipments; attaining and expanding positive gross margins across all product lines; the timing and amount of our operating expenses; the timing and costs of working capital needs; the timing and costs of developing marketing and distribution channels; the ability of our customers to obtain financing to support commercial transactions; our ability to obtain financing arrangements to support the sale or leasing of our products and services to customers and to repay or refinance our long-term debt, and the terms of such agreements that may require us to pledge or restrict substantial amounts of our cash to support these financing arrangements; the timing and costs of developing marketing and distribution channels; the timing and costs of product service requirements; the timing and costs of hiring and training product staff; the timing and costs of product development and introductions; the extent of our ongoing and new research and development programs; and changes in our strategy or our planned activities. If we are unable to fund our operations with positive cash flows and cannot obtain external financing, we may not be able to sustain future operations. As a result, we may be required to delay, reduce and/or cease our operations and/or seek bankruptcy protection.

We have experienced and continue to experience negative cash flows from operations and net losses. The Company incurred net losses attributable to common stockholders of ~~$73.8~~$85.5 million and $67.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~$78.2 million, $130.2 million and $57.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016,~~2019, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of ~~$1.3~~$1.4 billion at September 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $51.8 million, consisting of a net loss attributable to the Company of $73.7 million and net outflows from fluctuations in working capital and other assets and liabilities of $13.4 million, offset by the impact of non-cash charges/gains of $35.4 million. The changes in working capital were related to an increase in inventory and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets and deferred revenue. Cash outflows related to equipment that we sell are included in net cash used in operating activities. As of September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $43.3 million and net working capital of $70.5 million. By comparison, at December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $38.6 million and net working capital of $9.2 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $9.0 million and included purchases of property plant and equipment, purchases of intangible assets, outflows associated with materials, labor, and overhead necessary to construct new leased property and proceeds in connection with sales of leased assets. Cash outflows related to equipment we lease directly to customers are included in net cash used in investing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $149.1 million and primarily resulted from net proceeds of $39.1 million from the issuance of a $40 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% convertible senior note due 2023, $38.1 million from the sale of our common stock, $100.0 million from a new debt facility, some of which was used to pay approximately $50.3 million of finance obligations and $17.6 million of previously outstanding long-term debt, including accrued interest. In addition, there was a $57.2 million increase in cash flows from new finance obligations, offset in part by redemption of preferred stock of $4.0 million and repayments ~~of long-term debt of $21.2 million.~~

~~Public and Private Offerings of Equity and Debt~~

~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 6.3 million shares of common stock through its At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (ATM) resulting in net proceeds of $14.8~~ ~~million.~~

In September 2019, we issued a $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% convertible senior note due in 2023 ($40 million Convertible Senior Note). The Company’s total obligation, net of interest accretion, due to ~~the holder~~

~~Table of Contents~~

is $48.0 million. The total net proceeds from this offering, after deducting costs of the issuance were $39.1 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the note for general corporate purposes and for the potential redemption of the Company’s outstanding Series E ~~Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. See Note 8, Convertible Senior Notes, for more details.~~

~~In March 2019, the Company sold 10 million shares of common stock at a price of $2.35 per share for~~ ~~net proceeds of $23.5 million.~~

~~In November 2018, the Company completed a private placement of an aggregate of 35,000 shares of the Company’s Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (Series E~~ Preferred Stock), for net proceeds of approximately $30.9 million. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company redeemed 4,038 shares of Series E Preferred Stock totaling $4.0 million. See Note 10, Redeemable ~~Convertible Preferred Stock, for additional information.~~

In March 2018, we issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible senior notes due in 2023 ($100 million Convertible Senior Notes). The total net proceeds from this offering, after deducting costs of the issuance, were approximately $95.9 million. Approximately $43.5 million of the proceeds were used for the cost of the Capped Call and the Common Stock Forward, both of which are hedges related to the $100 million Convertible Senior Notes. See Note 8, Convertible Senior Notes, for more details.

On April 12, 2017, the Company issued to Tech Opportunities LLC (Tech Opps) warrants to acquire up to 5,250,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.69 per share. All of these warrants were exercised on October 15, 2019. See Note 9, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional information.

~~Operating or Finance Leases~~

The Company enters into sale/leaseback agreements with various financial institutions to facilitate the Company’s commercial transactions with key customers. The Company sells certain fuel cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure to the financial institutions and leases the equipment back to support certain customer locations and to fulfill its varied Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). In connection with certain operating leases, the financial institutions require the Company to maintain cash balances in restricted accounts securing the Company’s finance obligations. Cash received from customers under the PPAs is used to make payments against our finance obligations. As the Company performs under these agreements, the required restricted cash balances are released, according to a set schedule. The total remaining lease payments to financial institutions under these agreements at September 30, 2019 was $168.9 million, ~~$162.0 million of which were secured with restricted cash, security deposits and pledged service escrows.~~

The Company has a master lease agreement with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. (Wells Fargo MLA) to finance the Company’s commercial transactions with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Walmart). The Wells Fargo MLA was entered into in 2017 and amended in 2018. Pursuant to the Wells Fargo MLA, the Company sells fuel cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure to Wells Fargo and then leases them back and operates them at Walmart sites under lease agreements with Walmart. The total remaining lease payments to Wells Fargo were $97.6 million at September 30, 2019. Transactions completed under the Wells Fargo MLA in 2018 and 2019 were accounted for as operating leases and therefore the sales of the fuel cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure were recognized as revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Transactions completed under the Wells Fargo MLA in 2017 were accounted for as finance leases. The difference in lease classification is due to changes in financing terms and their bearing on lease assessment criteria. Also included in the remaining lease payments to Wells Fargo is a sale/leaseback transaction in 2015 that was accounted for as an operating lease. In connection with the Wells Fargo MLA, the Company has a customer guarantee for a majority of the transactions. The aforementioned Wells Fargo MLA transactions required a letter of credit for the unguaranteed portion totaling $37.3 million.

Additionally, during the third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into master lease agreements with both Key Equipment Finance (KeyBank) and SunTrust Equipment Finance & Lease Corp. (SunTrust), to finance commercial transactions with Walmart. The transactions with KeyBank and SunTrust required cash collateral for the unguaranteed portions totaling $6.4 million. Similar to the aforementioned Wells Fargo MLA, the Company has a customer guarantee for the majority of the transactions.

~~Table of Contents~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into additional, similar master lease agreements with Wells Fargo, Crestmark Equipment Finance (Crestmark), First American Bancorp, Inc. (First American) and 36th ~~Street Capital Partners, LLC (36~~th Street) to finance subscription programs with other customers. The total remaining lease payments to these financial institutions were $57.3 million at September 30, 2019. These lease payments are secured by cash collateral and letters of credit backed by restricted cash.

~~Long-Term Debt~~

In March 2019, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Generate Lending, LLC (Generate Capital) pursuant to which the Company borrowed $85.0 million. The initial proceeds of the loan were used to pay in full the Company’s long-term debt and accrued interest of $17.6 million under the loan agreement with NY Green Bank, a Division of the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NY Green Bank) and terminate approximately $50.3 million of certain equipment leases with Generate Plug Power SLB II, LLC as well as repurchase the associated leased equipment. ~~In April 2019, the Company borrowed an additional $15.0 million under the term loan facility~~ ~~with Generate Capital. See Note 7, Long-Term Debt for additional information.~~

We have historically funded our operations primarily through public and private offerings of equity and debt, as well as short-term borrowings, long-term debt and project financings. The Company believes that its current working capital and cash anticipated to be generated from future operations, as well as borrowings from lending and project financing sources and proceeds from equity and debt offerings,, including ~~the~~our at-the-market offering, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. There is no guarantee that future funding will be available if and when required or at terms acceptable to the Company. This projection is based on our current expectations regarding new project financing and product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $156.9 million, consisting primarily of a net loss attributable to the Company of $85.5 million, and net outflows from fluctuations in working capital and other assets and liabilities of $96.3 million. The changes in working capital primarily were related to increases and decreases in various current asset and liability accounts. As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $448.1 million and net working capital of $514.2 million. By comparison, at December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $139.5 million and net working capital of $162.5 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $71.7 million and included net cash paid for acquisitions, purchases of intangible assets, purchases of property, plant and equipment, and outflows associated with materials, labor, and overhead necessary to construct new leased property. Cash outflows related to equipment that we lease directly to customers are included in net cash used in investing activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $590.6 million and primarily resulted from the issuance of shares of common stock and convertible senior notes, and proceeds from borrowing on long-term debt, offset by the repurchase of convertible senior notes and purchase of related capped calls.

Public and Private Offerings of Equity and Debt

Common Stock Issuances

In August 2020, the Company issued and sold in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 35,276,250 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $10.25 per share for net proceeds of approximately $344.4 million.

On April 13, 2020, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (ATM), with B. Riley FBR, Inc., as sales agent, or FBR, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through FBR, shares of Company common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not issued any shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM.

In December 2019, the Company issued and sold in a registered public offering an aggregate of 46 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.75 per share for net proceeds of approximately $120.4 million.

Prior to December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a previous ATM with FBR, which was terminated in the fourth quarter of 2019. Under this ATM, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 6.3 million shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $14.6 million.

In March 2019, the Company issued and sold in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 10 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.35 per share for net proceeds of approximately $23.5 million.

Convertible Senior Notes

In May 2020, the Company issued $212.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% convertible senior notes due 2025, which we refer to herein as the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The total net proceeds from this offering, after deducting costs of the issuance, were $205.1 million. The Company used $90.2 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes to repurchase $66.3 million of the $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023, which we refer to herein as the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes. In addition, the Company used approximately $16.3 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes to enter into privately negotiated capped called transactions.In October 2020, $28.0 million of the remaining 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes converted into 12.2 million shares of common stock.

In September 2019, the Company issued a $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% convertible senior note due 2023, which we refer to herein as the 7.5% Convertible Senior Note. The Company’s total obligation, net of interest accretion, due to the holder was $48.0 million. The total net proceeds from this offering, after deducting costs of the issuance, were $39.1 million. On July 1, 2020, the note automatically converted fully into 16.0 million shares of common stock.

Operating and Finance Leases

as operating leases and therefore the sales of the fuel cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure are recognized as revenue. In connection with certain sale/leaseback transactions, the financial institutions require the Company to maintain cash balances in restricted accounts securing the Company’s finance obligations. Cash received from customers under the PPAs is used to make payments against the Company’s finance obligations. As the Company performs under these agreements, the required restricted cash balances are released, according to a set schedule. The total remaining lease payments to financial institutions under these agreements at September 30, 2020 was $332.8 million, $286.2 million of which were secured with restricted cash, security deposits backing letters of credit, and pledged service escrows.

The Company has varied master lease agreements with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc., or Wells Fargo, to finance the Company’s commercial transactions with various customers. The Wells Fargo lease agreements were entered into during 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Pursuant to the lease agreements, the Company sells fuel cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure to Wells Fargo and then leases them back and operates them at Walmart sites. The Company has a customer guarantee for a large portion of the transactions entered into in connection with such lease agreements. The Wells Fargo lease agreements required letters of credit totaling approximately $78.8 million for the unguaranteed portion as of September 30, 2020. The total remaining lease liabilities owed to Wells Fargo were $114.3 million at September 30, 2020.

Over recent years, including in 2019, the Company has entered into master lease agreements with multiple institutions such as Key Equipment Finance (KeyBank), SunTrust Equipment Finance & Lease Corp. (now known as Truist Bank), First American Bancorp, Inc. (First American), Crestmark Equipment Finance (Crestmark) and U.S. Bank. During the nine months ended September 30 2020, the Company entered into additional lease agreements with KeyBank, First American, Truist Bank, Crestmark and U.S. Bank. Similar to the Wells Fargo lease agreements, the primary purpose of these agreements is to finance commercial transactions with varied customers. Most of the transactions with these financial institutions required cash collateral for the unguaranteed portions totaling $189.9million as of September 30, 2020. Similar to the Wells Fargo lease agreements, in many cases the Company has a customer guarantee for a large portion of the transactions. The total remaining lease liabilities owed to these financial institutions were $218.5 million at September 30, 2020.

Long-Term Debt

In March 2019, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (Loan Agreement) with Generate Lending, LLC (Generate Capital) pursuant to which the Company borrowed $85.0 million (Term Loan Facility). The initial proceeds of the loan were used to pay in full the Company’s long-term debt and accrued interest of $17.6 million under the loan agreement with NY Green Bank, a Division of the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority, and terminate approximately $50.3 million of certain equipment leases with Generate Plug Power SLB II, LLC as well as repurchase the associated leased equipment. In April 2019 and November 2019, the Company borrowed an additional $15.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, under the Term Loan Facility with Generate Capital at 12% interest to fund working capital for ongoing deployments and other general corporate purposes. On March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance was $107.5 million. The principal and interest payments are paid primarily by restricted cash.

On May 6, 2020, the Company and Generate amended the Loan Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide an incremental term loan facility in the amount of $50.0 million, which has been fully funded, (ii) provide for additional, incremental term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million, which are available to the Company in Generate Capital’s sole discretion, (iii) reduce the interest rate on all loans to 9.50% from 12.00% per annum, and (iv) extend the maturity date to October 31, 2025 from October 6, 2022. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company borrowed an additional $50.0 million under the amended Loan Agreement. See Note 8, Long-Term Debt, for additional information. Based on the amortization schedule as September 30, 2020, the outstanding balance of $185.0 million under the Term Loan Facility must be fully paid by October 31, 2025.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. ~~All significant intercompany~~Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The information presented in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet~~sheets as of December 31, ~~2018~~2019 has been derived from the Company’s December 31, ~~2018~~2019 audited consolidated financial statements.

Leases

The Company is a lessee in noncancelable (1) operating leases, primarily related to sale/leaseback transactions with financial institutions for deployment of the Company’s products at certain customer sites, and (2) finance leases, also

~~Table of Contents~~

primarily related to sale/leaseback transactions with financial institutions for similar commercial purposes. The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases (ASC Topic 842). , as amended.

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a right of use (ROU) asset and a lease liability (i.e. finance obligation) at the lease commencement date. For operating leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. For finance leases, the lease liability is initially measured in the same manner and date as for operating leases, and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) the lease term and (3) the lease payments.

●

ASC Topic 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms.

●

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease, plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

●

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments, and the exercise price of a Company option to purchase the underlying asset if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option.

The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

For finance leases, the ROU asset is subsequently amortized using the straight-line method from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the underlying asset or the end of the lease term unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company or the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset. In those cases, the ROU asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset. Amortization of the ROU asset is recognized and presented separately from interest expense on the lease liability. The Company’s leases do not contain variable lease payments.

ROU assets for operating and finance leases are periodically reviewed for impairment losses. The Company uses the long-lived assets impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, to determine whether an ROU asset is impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. NoNaN impairment losses have been recognized to date.

The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment ~~of one~~ of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset.

Operating and finance lease ROU assets are presented within leased property, net on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet.~~sheets. The current portion of operating and finance lease liabilities is included in finance

~~Table of Contents~~

obligations within current liabilities and the long-term portion is presented in finance obligations within noncurrent liabilities on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet.~~sheets.

The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease recognition and measurement exemption for other classes of leased assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with its short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into contracts that may contain one or a combination of fuel cell systems and infrastructure, installation, maintenance, spare parts, fuel delivery and other support services. Contracts containing fuel cell systems and related infrastructure may be sold or provided to customers under a ~~Power Purchase Agreement (PPA),~~PPA, discussed further below.

The Company does not include a right of return on its products other than rights related to standard warranty provisions that permit repair or replacement of defective goods. The Company accrues for anticipated standard warranty costs at the same time that revenue is recognized for the related product, or when circumstances indicate that warranty costs will be incurred, as applicable. ~~Only a limited number of fuel cell units are under standard warranty.~~

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price specified in a contract with a customer, subject to the allocation of the transaction price to distinct performance obligations as discussed below. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring ~~control over~~ a product or service to a customer.

The Company accounts for each distinct performance obligation within its arrangements as a ~~distinct~~separate unit of accounting if the items under the performance obligation have value to the customer on a standalone basis. The Company considers a performance obligation to be distinct and have a standalone value if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources readily available to the customer and the Company’s promise to transfer the goods or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company allocates revenue to each distinct performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices.

Payment terms for sales of fuel cells, infrastructure and service to customers are typically 30 to 90 days. Sale/leaseback transactions with financial institutions are invoiced and collected upon transaction closing. Service is prepaid upfront in a majority of the arrangements. The Company does not adjust the transaction price for a significant financing component when the performance obligation is expected to be fulfilled within a year.

In 2017, in separate transactions, the Company issued to each of Amazon and Walmart warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company presents the provision for common stock warrants within each revenue-related line item on the unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated statements of operations. This presentation reflects a discount that those common stock warrants represent, and therefore revenue is net of these non-cash charges. The provision of common stock warrants is allocated to the relevant revenue-related line items based upon the expected mix of the revenue for each respective contract. See Note 12, Warrant Transaction Agreements, for more details.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue.

(i)

Sales of Fuel Cell Systems and Related Infrastructure

~~(i)Sales of Fuel Cell Systems and Related Infrastructure~~

Revenue from sales of fuel cell systems and related infrastructure represents sales of our GenDrive units, GenSure stationary backup power units, as well as hydrogen fueling infrastructure.

The Company considers comparable list prices, as well as historical average pricing approaches to determine standalone selling prices for GenDrive fuel cells. The Company uses observable evidence from similar products in the market to determine standalone selling prices for GenSure stationary backup power units and hydrogen fueling infrastructure. The determination of standalone selling prices of the Company’s performance obligations requires significant judgment, including continual assessment of pricing approaches and available observable evidence in the market. Once relative standalone selling prices are determined, the Company proportionately allocates the

~~Table of Contents~~

transaction price to each performance obligation within the customer arrangement. The allocated transaction price related to fuel cell systems and spare parts ~~and hydrogen infrastructure~~ is recognized as revenue at a point in time which usually occurs at shipment (and occasionally upon delivery) ~~for fuel cells and spare parts and upon customer acceptance for~~. Revenue on hydrogen infrastructure ~~depending on the terms of the arrangement,~~installations is generally recognized at the point at which transfer of control passes to the customer, which usually occurs upon customer acceptance of the hydrogen infrastructure. In certain instances, control of hydrogen infrastructure installations transfers to the customer over time, and the related revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligation ~~has been~~is satisfied. The Company uses an input method to determine the amount of revenue to recognize during each reporting period based on the Company’s efforts to satisfy the performance obligation.

(ii)Services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure

Revenue from services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure represents revenue earned on our service and maintenance contracts and sales of spare parts. The transaction price allocated to services as discussed above is generally recognized as revenue over time on a straight-line basis over the expected service period.

In substantially all of its commercial transactions, the Company sells extended maintenance contracts that generally provide for a five to ten year service period from the date of product ~~installation.~~installation in exchange for an up-front payment. Services include monitoring, technical support, maintenance and services that provide for 97% to 98% uptime of the fleet. These services are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, and accordingly, revenue generated from these transactions, subject to the proportional allocation of transaction price, is deferred and recognized ~~in income~~ as revenue

over the term of the contract, generally on a straight-line basis. Additionally, the Company may enter into annual service and extended maintenance contracts that are billed monthly. Revenue generated from these transactions is recognized ~~in income~~as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Costs are recognized as incurred over the term of the contract. Sales of spare parts are included within service revenue on the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated statements of operations. When costs are projected to exceed revenues over the life of the extended maintenance contract, an accrual for loss contracts is recorded. Costs are estimated based upon historical experience and consider the estimated impact of the Company’s cost reduction initiatives. The actual results may differ from these estimates.

Upon expiration of the extended maintenance contracts, customers either choose to extend the contract or switch to purchasing spare parts and maintaining the fuel cell systems on their own.

(iii)Power Purchase Agreements

Revenue from PPAs primarily represents payments received from customers who make monthly payments to access the Company’s GenKey solution.

When fuel cell systems and related infrastructure are provided to customers through a PPA, revenues associated with these agreements are treated as rental income and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreements.

In conjunction with entering into a PPA with a customer, the Company may enter into sale/leaseback transactions with third-party financial institutions, whereby the fuel cells, a majority of the related infrastructure and, in some cases, service are sold to the third-party financial institution and leased back to the Company through either an operating or finance lease.

Certain of the Company’s sale/leaseback transactions with third-party financial institutions are required to be accounted for as finance leases. As a result, no0 upfront revenue was recognized at the closing of these transactions and a finance obligation for each lease was established. The fuel cell systems and related infrastructure that are provided to customers through these PPAs are ~~considered~~classified as leased property, onnet in the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Costs to service the leased property, depreciation of the leased property, and other related costs are ~~considered~~included in cost of PPA revenue onin the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest cost associated with finance leases is presented within interest and other expense, net onin the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company also has sale/leaseback transactions with financial institutions, which were required to be accounted for as an operating ~~lease.~~leases. The Company has ~~rental expense~~lease obligations associated with these sale/leaseback agreements with financial ~~institutions.~~institutions paid over the term of the agreements. At inception of these sale/lease transactions, the Company records a right of use asset value which is amortized over the term of the lease and recognized in conjunction with the interest expense on the obligation collectively as rental expense. Rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreements and is

~~Table of Contents~~

characterized as cost of PPA revenue on the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company ~~adopted ASC Topic 842, effective January 1, 2018. As part of the adoption, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate~~includes all lease and non-lease components (i.e., maintenance services) ~~within its rental income~~ related to ~~all PPA-related assets.~~PPAs within PPA revenue.

To recognize revenue, the Company, as lessee, is required to determine whether each sale/leaseback arrangement meets operating lease criteria. As part of the assessment of these criteria, the Company estimates certain key inputs to the associated calculations such as: 1) discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value and 2) useful life of the underlying asset(s):

●

ASC Topic 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in its leases because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate to estimate the discount rate for each lease.

●

In order for a lease to be classified as an operating lease, the lease term cannot exceed 75% (major part) of the estimated useful life of the leased asset. The average estimated useful life of the fuel cells is 10 years, and the average estimated useful life of the hydrogen infrastructure is 20 years. These estimated useful lives are compared to the term of each lease to ensure that 75% of the estimated useful life of the assets is not exceeded which allows the Company to meet the operating lease criteria.

(iv)Fuel Delivered to Customers

Revenue associated with fuel delivered to customers represents the sale of hydrogen to customers that has been purchased by the Company from a third party or generated on site. Fuel is delivered to customers under stand-ready arrangement, with no long-term commitment.

The Company purchases hydrogen fuel from suppliers in certain cases (and produces hydrogen onsite) and sells to its customers upon delivery. Revenue and cost of revenue related to this fuel is recorded as dispensed and is included in the respective “Fuel delivered to customers” lines on the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated statements of operations.

Contract costs

The Company expects that incremental commission fees paid to employees as a result of obtaining sales contracts are recoverable and therefore the Company capitalizes them as contract costs.

Capitalized commission fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time ~~over~~ which the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate occur, typically ranging from 5 to 10 years. Amortization of the capitalized commission fees is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cash Equivalents

~~Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts with an initial term of less than three months.~~ For purposes of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2020, cash equivalents consisted of money market accounts. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions located in the United States and may at times exceed insured limits.

Equity Instruments – Common Stock ~~Warrant Accounting~~Warrants

~~The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the applicable warrant agreement.~~

~~Derivative Liabilities~~

Common stock warrants that require the issuance of registered shares upon exercise and do not sufficiently preclude an implied right to cash settlement are accounted for as derivative liabilities. We currently classify these derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as a long-term liability, which are revalued at each balance sheet date subsequent to the initial issuance, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This pricing model, which is based, in part, upon unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations as change in fair value of common stock warrant liability.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Equity Instruments~~

Common stock warrants that meet certain applicable requirements of ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and other related guidance, including the ability of the Company to settle the warrants without the issuance of registered shares or the absence of rights of the grantee to require cash settlement, are accounted for as equity instruments. The Company classifies these equity instruments within additional paid-in capital on the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet.~~ sheets.

Common stock warrants accounted for as equity instruments represent the warrants issued to ~~Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC (Amazon)~~Amazon and Walmart as discussed in Note ~~11,~~12, Warrant Transaction Agreements. ~~These~~The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update 2019-08, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2019-08), which requires entities to measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance under Topic 718, as of January 1, 2019. As a result, the amount recorded as a reduction of revenue is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the warrants. Except for the third tranche, the fair value of all warrants ~~are remeasured~~was measured at ~~each financial reporting~~January 1, 2019, the adoption date ~~prior~~of ASU 2019-08.

~~Convertible Senior Notes~~

~~$100 Million Convertible Senior Notes~~

In March 2018, the Company issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes due on March 15, 2023. The Company accounts for the $100 million Convertible Senior Notes with separate liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was initially determined by estimating the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the estimated fair value of the liability component from the par value of the $100 million Convertible Senior Notes as a whole as of the date of issuance. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense, with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the liability component, over the term of the $100 million Convertible Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The Company has allocated issuance costs incurred to the liability and equity components. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to expense over the respective term of the $100 ~~million Convertible Senior Notes, and issuance costs attributable to the equity components were netted with the respective equity component in additional paid-in capital.~~

~~$40 Million Convertible Senior Note~~

~~In September 2019, the Company issued a $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Convertible Senior~~ ~~Note due on January 5, 2023, in exchange for~~ ~~net proceeds of $39.1 million.~~

~~The Company accounts for the issued $40 million Convertible Senior Note as a liability. Upon maturity~~ of the note, the Company is required to repay 120% of $40.0 million, or $48.0 million. As such, the Company recorded a liability for $48.0 million and associated discount for $8.0 million. The $8.0 million discount amortized into interest expense over the term of the $40 million Convertible Senior Note using the effective interest method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June ~~2018, an accounting update was issued to simplify the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of ASC Topic 718,~~ ~~Compensation-Stock Compensation~~, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that ASC Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that ASC Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC Topic 606, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~. The amendments in this accounting update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC Topic 606. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

Giner ELX, Inc. Acquisition

On June 22, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Giner ELX, Inc. (Giner ELX). Giner ELX is developer of electrolysis hydrogen generators which is used for on-site refueling of hydrogen fuel cells.

The fair value of consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Giner ELX acquisition was as follows (in thousands):


Cash	$	25,820
Plug Power Stock		19,263
Contingent consideration		7,790
Total consideration		52,873

The contingent consideration represents the estimated, preliminary fair value associated with earn-out payments of $16.0 million that the sellers are eligible to receive. Of the total earnout consideration, $8.0 million is related to the achievement of the Allagash earn-out, $2.0 million is associated with the receipt of certain customer opportunities (purchase orders or other contracts) by December 31, 2021, and $6.0 million is associated with the achievement of certain revenue targets for years 2021 through 2023. The Allagash earn-out is achieved when the Company has produced at least 2 PEM electrolyzer stacks of one megawatt each, utilizing the dry build process and meets certain technical specifications as more fully described in the merger agreement. To be fully paid, the Allagash earn-out needs to be satisfied by July 31, 2023 and is reduced by approximately 8.33% each month beyond this date. In addition to the above, should the earn-out revenue exceed 150% of the 2023 target, the sellers will receive warrants with a value of $5.0 million and if

the earn-out revenue exceeds 200% of the 2023 revenue target, the sellers will receive warrants with a value of $10.0 million. The warrants are exercisable within two years of issuance.

In connection with the Giner ELX acquisition, the Company revised the acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration liabilities which resulted in an increase in other liabilities and goodwill of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, excluding goodwill (in thousands):


Accounts receivable	$	1,237
Inventory		4,108
Prepaid expenses and other assets, net of deferred tax liability		(4,707)
Property, plant and equipment		596
Identifiable intangibles		29,930
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities		(2,136)
Deferred revenue		(2,348)
Total net assets acquired, excluding goodwill		26,680

The preliminary fair value of acquired identified intangible assets were calculated with the assistance of an independent valuator and were determined through a variety of valuation techniques.

Identifiable intangibles consisted of developed technology, non-compete agreements, estimated in-process research and development (IPR&D), and customer relationships.

The fair value of acquired developed technology and non-complete agreements was nominal.

The fair value of the acquired IPR&D totaling $29.0 million was calculated using the multi-period excess earnings method (MPEEM) approach which is a variant of the income approach. The basic principle of the MPEEM approach is that a single asset, in isolation, is not capable of generating cash flow for an enterprise. Several assets are brought together and exploited to generate cash flow. Therefore, to determine cash flow from the exploitation of IPR&D, one must deduct the related expenses incurred for the exploitation of other assets used for the generation of overall cash flow and revenues. The fair value of IPR&D was estimated by discounting the net cash flow derived from the expected revenues attributable to the acquired IPR&D. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships totaling $0.4 million was calculated using a distributor method approach, which is a variant of the MPEEM under the income approach. The fair value of wet stack technology totaling $0.4 million was determined using the relief from royalty method.

In addition to identifiable intangible asset, the fair value of the deferred revenue was determined using a cost build-up approach. The direct cost of fulfilling the obligation plus a normal profit margin was used to determine the value of the assumed deferred revenue liability.

Included in the purchase consideration are three contingent earn-out payments (as described above): the Allagash earn-out, the customer opportunities, and the revenue targets. Due to the nature of the Allagash and customer opportunities, as outlined in the purchase agreement, a scenario based method (SBM) was used to value these contingent payments as the payments are milestone based in nature. The revenue targets are achieved when certain revenue thresholds are met, and the catch-up provision creates path-dependency. As such, the revenue targets were valued using Monte Carlo Simulation.

Included in Giner ELX’s net assets acquired are net deferred tax liabilities of $6.1 million. In connection of the acquisition of these net deferred tax liabilities, the Company reduced its valuation allowance by $5.2 million and recognized a tax benefit $5.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Goodwill associated with the Giner ELX acquisition was calculated as follows (in thousands):


Consideration paid	$	52,873
Less: net assets acquired		(26,680)
Total goodwill recognized		26,193

The goodwill consists of the Company’s increased capabilities in green hydrogen supply through the production of electrolyzers. The synergies with the Company’s production of hydrogen storage and dispensing equipment is important to the Company as the demand for green hydrogen increases.

United Hydrogen Group Inc. Acquisition

On June 18, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of United Hydrogen Group Inc. (UHG). UHG produces and sells liquid hydrogen.

The fair value of consideration paid by the Company in connection with the UHG acquisition was as follows (in thousands):


Cash	$	19,293
Plug Power Stock		30,410
Contingent consideration		1,110
Total consideration		50,813

Included in cash and common stock in the above table is $1.0 million of cash and $6.5 million of common stock that was paid in April 2020 to purchase a convertible note in UHG. This convertible note included terms that allowed for reduction of the purchase price if the Company was to complete the acquisitions. As such, this note was cancelled in conjunction with the closing of this acquisition.

A portion of the purchase price of UHG was in the form of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is contingent on future performance related to the expansion of the liquefication capacity of the Charleston, Tennessee liquid hydrogen plant (the Charleston Plant). The Company’s liability for this contingent consideration was measured at fair value based on the Company’s expectations of achieving the expansion milestone. The expected performance was assessed by management which was discounted to present value in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration.

In accordance with the merger agreement, the Company is obligated to pay $1.5 million by June 30, 2021 once the liquefication capacity of the Charleston Plant is complete to the UHG’s stockholders. Due to the level of progress made as of the reporting date, it is estimated that a payout will be made. As a result, the Company has recorded $1.1 million as the fair value of the contingent consideration.

The Company’s liability for contingent consideration was preliminarily measured and estimated at fair value based on unobservable inputs, and was considered a level 3 financial instrument. The fair value of the liability determined was primarily driven by the Company’s expectations of reaching the performance milestone. The expected milestone of expansion of the liquefication capacity of the Charleston Plant was discounted to present value in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration. The primary inputs of the calculation were the probabilities of achieving the milestone and a discount rate.

In connection with the UHG acquisition, the Company finalized the valuation of an existing customer contract and long-term debt which resulted in an increase in other liabilities of $1.9 million, a decrease in long-term debt of $1.7 million, and an increase in goodwill of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, excluding goodwill (in thousands):


Accounts receivable		444
Inventory		89
Prepaid expenses and other assets		1,152
Property, plant and equipment		41,244
Leased property		796
Identifiable intangibles		2,338
Long-term debt		(11,336)
Other liabilities		(15,757)
Accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and finance obligations		(4,631)
Total net assets acquired, excluding goodwill		14,339

The preliminary fair value of acquired identified intangible assets were calculated with the assistance of an independent valuation firm and were determined through a variety of valuation techniques.

Identifiable intangibles consisted of developed technology, as described below in Note 7, Intangible Assets. The fair value of the developed technology totaling $2.3 million was calculated using the relief from royalty approach which is a variant of the income approach. The application of the relief from royalty approach involves estimating the value of an intangible asset by quantifying the present value of the stream of market derived royalty payments that the owner of the intangible asset is exempted or ‘relieved’ from paying.

Additionally the Company estimated the fair value of an unfavorable customer contract. The fair value of the acquired unfavorable customer contract was calculated using a with and with-out analysis which is a variant of the income approach. Cash flows were calculated using pricing per terms of the existing contract and then compared to cash flows using expected market pricing. The difference between the two cash flows was used to determine the fair value of the contract.

UHG is eligible to receive earn-out payments, contingent on the company achieving certain milestones (successful completion of construction and achieving a defined capacity/production level). Due to the milestone nature of the payments, a scenario based method (SBM) was used to value these contingent payments.

Goodwill associated with the UHG acquisition was calculated as follows (in thousands):


Consideration paid	$	50,813
Less: net assets acquired		(14,339)
Total goodwill recognized		36,474

Goodwill consists of the Company’s ability to expand liquid hydrogen manufacturing capability with an established management team. The Company now has capabilities in liquid hydrogen generation, liquefaction and distribution logistics, which is important in a growing hydrogen market.

For both UHG and Giner ELX, the above estimates are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Substantially all the receivables acquired are expected to be collectible. We have not identified any material unrecorded pre-acquisition contingencies where the related asset or liability, or an impairment is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Purchased goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The change in the estimate of fair value of contingent consideration obligations during the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a change in the discount rate and a decrease in the discount period. The Company considers the impact to be immaterial to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The results of the Giner ELX and UHG are included in the Company’s results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and are also included in the Company’s results for the nine months ended 2020.

4. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common stock are computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (such as stock options, unvested restricted stock, common stock warrants, and preferred ~~stock~~ ~~and convertible senior notes)~~stock) were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock (net of any assumed repurchases) that then shared in the earnings of the Company, if any. This is computed by dividing net earnings by the combination of dilutive common stock equivalents, which is comprised of shares issuable ~~upon exercise or~~under outstanding warrants, the conversion of ~~outstanding warrants,~~ preferred stock, ~~common stock warrants~~ and ~~convertible senior notes and shares of common stock issuable under~~ the Company’s share-based compensation plans, and the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Since the Company is in a net loss position, all common stock equivalents would be considered to be anti-dilutive and are, therefore, not included in the determination of diluted earnings per share. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

The potentially dilutive ~~potential common stock~~securities are summarized as follows:

The change in the gross carrying amount of the acquired technology from December 31, ~~2018~~2019 to September 30, ~~2019~~2020 was due to changes in foreign currency translation, acquisitions of UHG and Giner ELX, and accrual for American Fuel Cell (AFC) milestone payment payments, as discussed below.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company’s in-process research and development was related to the development of the dry build process associated with electrolyzer stacks, as part of acquisition of Giner ELX. The related intangible asset is not currently amortized, as research and development is ongoing. Upon completion of the dry build process, amortization will commence based upon the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. See Note 3 – Acquisitions, for more details.

Also, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company acquired technology as part of the acquisition of ~~intellectual property~~UHG. The technology relates to the chemical process of manufacturing liquid hydrogen from ~~EnergyOr in May~~chlor-alkali waste stream. See Note 3 – Acquisitions, for more details.

In the second quarter of 2019, ~~a milestone payment to American Fuel Cell LLC (AFC), as well as changes attributed to foreign currency translation. The~~the Company acquired intellectual property from EnergyOr for $1.5 million. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the sellers a royalty based on future sales of relevant applications, not to exceed $3.0 million, by May 22, 2025. These royalties are added to the intangible asset balance, as incurred.

As part of the agreement to acquire the intellectual property from AFC, the Company shall pay AFC milestone payments not to exceed $2.9 million in total, if certain milestones associated with the production of components related to the acquired technology are met before April 2021. As of September 30, ~~2019~~,2020, the Company paid ~~$0.4~~$1.6 million ~~to AFC~~and accrued $0.9 million in relation to the aforementioned milestones.

Amortization expense for acquired identifiable intangible assets was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Amortization expense for the acquired identifiable assets was $0.2 million for ~~both~~ the three months ended September 30, 2019 and ~~2018.

8.9. Convertible Senior Notes

~~$40 Million~~

3.75% Convertible Senior ~~Note~~Notes

On May 18, 2020, the Company issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due June 1, 2025, which is referred to herein as the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. On May 29, 2020, the Company issued an additional $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes.

At issuance in May 2020, the total net proceeds from the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes were as follows:


	Amount
	(in thousands)
Principal amount	$	212,463
Less initial purchasers' discount		(6,374)
Less cost of related capped calls		(16,253)
Less other issuance costs		(617)
Net proceeds	$	189,219

The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2020. The notes will mature on June 1, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms.

The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, including the Company’s $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023, which is referred to herein as the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of its current or future subsidiaries.

Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2024 in the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2020, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

during the five business days after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

if the Company calls any or all of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for redemption, any such notes that have been called for redemption may be converted at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as described in the indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes.

On or after December 1, 2024, the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions.

The initial conversion rate for the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes will be 198.6196 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.03 per share of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election.

In addition, following certain corporate events or following issuance of a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its notes called for redemption during the related redemption period in certain circumstances.

The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 5, 2023 and before the 41^st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the three trading days immediately preceding the date the Company sends the related redemption notice, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company sends such redemption notice.

If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase their notes for cash all or any portion of their notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

In accounting for the issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company separated the notes into liability and equity components. The initial carrying amount of the liability component of approximately $75.2 million, net of costs incurred, was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component of approximately $130.3 million, net of costs incurred, representing the conversion option, was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The difference between the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and the liability component (the debt discount) is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The effective interest rate is approximately 29.0%. The equity component of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes is included in additional paid-in capital in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

We incurred transaction costs related to the issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes of approximately $7.0 million, consisting of initial purchasers’ discount of approximately $6.4 million and other issuance costs of $0.6 million. In accounting for the transaction costs, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components using the same proportions as the proceeds from the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. Transaction costs attributable to the liability component were approximately $2.6 million, were recorded as debt issuance cost (presented as contra debt in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets) and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The transaction costs attributable to the equity component were approximately $4.4 million and were netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes consisted of the following (in thousands):


	September 30,
	2020
Principal amounts:
Principal	$	212,463
Unamortized debt discount (1)		(129,101)
Unamortized debt issuance costs (1)		(2,425)
Net carrying amount	$	80,937
Carrying amount of the equity component (2)	$	130,249

Included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets within the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, net and amortized over the remaining life of the notes using the effective interest rate method.

Included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets within additional paid-in capital, net of $4.4 million in equity issuance costs and associated income tax benefit of $19.0 million.

Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $13.41 on September 30, 2020, the if-converted value of the notes was greater than the principal amount. The estimated fair value of the note at September 30, 2020 was approximately $532.3 million. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt. The simulation model is designed to capture the potential settlement features of the convertible debt, in conjunction with simulated changes in the Company’s stock price over the term of the note, incorporating a volatility assumption of 75%. This is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

Capped Call

In conjunction with the pricing of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (3.75% Notes Capped Call) with certain counterparties at a price of $16.2 million. The 3.75% Notes Capped Call cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that underlie the initial 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and is generally expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the 3.75% Notes Capped Call is initially $6.7560 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 60%over the last then-reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $4.11 per share on the date of the transaction and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 3.75% Notes Capped Call. The 3.75% Notes Capped Call becomes exercisable if the conversion option is exercised.

The net cost incurred in connection with the 3.75% Notes Capped Call has been recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet.

7.5% Convertible Senior Note

In September 2019, the Company issued a $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Convertible Senior Note due on January 5, 2023, which is referred to herein as the 7.5% Convertible Senior Note, in exchange for net proceeds of ~~$39.~~1$39.1 million,, in a private placement to an accredited investor pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities ~~Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).~~Act. There ~~are~~were no required principal payments prior to the maturity of the ~~note.~~ 7.5% Convertible Senior Note. Upon maturity of the ~~note,~~7.5% Convertible Senior Note, the Company iswas required to repay 120% of $40.0 million, or $48.0 million. The ~~note bears~~7.5% Convertible Senior Note bore interest at 7.5% per ~~annum,~~year, payable quarterly in arrears on January 5, April 5, July 5 and October 5 of each year beginning on October 5, 2019 and ~~will~~was to mature on January 5, 2023 unless earlier converted or repurchased in accordance with its terms. The ~~note is~~7.5% Convertible Senior Note was unsecured and ~~does~~did not contain any financial covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, or the issuance or repurchase of common stock by the Company.

~~The note has an initial conversion rate of 387.5969~~

~~, which is subject to adjustment in certain events.~~ ~~The initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $2.58 per share~~

On July 1, 2020, the 7.5% Convertible Senior Note automatically converted into 16.0 million shares of common stock.~~The holder of the note may convert at~~ its option at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately prior to the maturity date for shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the note will be automatically converted ~~if (1) the daily volume-weighted average price per share of common stock exceeds 175% of the conversion price (as described above) on each of the 20 consecutive VWAP trading days~~ ~~(as defined in the note) beginning after the issue date of the note and (2) certain equity conditions (as defined in the~~ ~~note) are satisfied. Only if both criteria are met is the note automatically converted. Upon either the voluntary or automatic conversion of the~~ note, the Company will deliver shares of common stock based on (1) the then-effective conversion rate and (2) the original principal amount of $40 million and not the maturity principal amount of $48 million. The note does not allow cash settlement (entirely or partially) upon conversion. As such, ~~the Company uses the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion option on diluted earnings per share.~~

The Company concluded the conversion features did not require bifurcation. Specifically, while the Company determined that (i) the conversion features were not clearly and closely related to the host contracts, (ii) the note (i.e., hybrid instrument) is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (iii) the conversion features, if freestanding, would meet the definition of a derivative, the Company concluded such conversion features meet the equity scope exception, and therefore, the conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the note.

~~If the Company undergoes a fundamental change prior to the maturity date, subject to certain limitations, the holder may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of~~ ~~the note at a cash repurchase price equal to any accrued and unpaid interest on the note (or portion thereof), plus the greater of (1) 115% of the maturity principal amount of $48 million~~ ~~(or portion thereof) and (2) 110% of the product of (i) the conversion rate in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of such fundamental change; (ii) the principal amount of~~ ~~the $40 million note to be repurchased divided by $1,000; and (iii) the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock over the five consecutive~~ ~~VWAP trading days immediately before the effective date of such fundamental change.~~

~~In addition, with the consent of the holder of the note, subject to certain limitations, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the~~ note, at the Company’s option, at a cash redemption price equal to any accrued and unpaid interest on the note (or portion thereof), plus the greater of (1) 105% of the maturity principal amount of $48 million (or portion thereof); and (2) 115% of the product of (i) the conversion rate in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the related redemption date; (ii) the principal amount of the $40 million note to be redeemed divided by $1,000; and (iii) the arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of common stock over the five consecutive VWAP trading days immediately before the related redemption date.

While the Company concluded the fundamental change redemption option represents an embedded derivative, the Company concluded the value of the embedded derivative to be immaterial given the likelihood of the occurrence of a fundamental change was deemed to be remote. As related to the call option, the Company concluded the call option was clearly and closely related to the host contract, and therefore, did not meet the definition of an embedded derivative.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~The Company concluded the total debt discount at issuance of the note equaled approximately $8.0 million. This debt discount~~ ~~was comprised of (1) the discount of $8.0 million attributed to the fact that upon maturity, the Company is required to repay 120% of $40.0 million, or $48.0 million and~~ ~~(2) debt issuance costs of $0.9 million.~~ ~~The debt discount~~ was recorded as debt issuance cost (presented as contra debt in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet) and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest rate method.

In May 2020, the Company used a portion of the ~~notes.~~ net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes to finance the cash portion of the partial repurchase of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, which consisted of a repurchase of approximately $66.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes in privately-negotiated transactions for aggregate consideration of $128.9 million, consisting of approximately $90.2 million in cash and approximately 9.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Of the $128.9 million in aggregate consideration, $35.5 million and $93.4 million were allocated to the debt and equity components, respectively, utilizing an effective discount rate of 29.8% to determine the fair value of the liability component. As of the repurchase date, the carrying value of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes that were repurchased, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was $48.7 million. The partial repurchase of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes resulted in a $13.2 million gain on early debt extinguishment. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $33.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes remained outstanding.

On or after September 15, 2022, holders may convert all or any portion of their ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions.

Upon conversion of the ~~notes,~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election. While the Company plans to settle the principal amount of the ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes in cash subject to available funding at time of settlement, we currently use the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion option on diluted net income per share, subject to meeting the criteria for using the treasury stock method in future periods.

The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued or unpaid interest. Holders who convert their ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes in connection with certain corporate events that constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” per the indenture governing the ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes or in connection with a redemption will be, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. In addition, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of its ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the repurchased ~~notes,~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company may not redeem the ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes prior to March 20, 2021. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the ~~notes,~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, at the Company’s option, on or after March 20, 2021 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the three trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In accounting for the issuance of the notes, the Company separated the ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes into liability and equity components. The initial carrying amount of the liability component of approximately $58.2 million, net of costs incurred, was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component of approximately $37.7 million, net of costs incurred, representing the conversion option, was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the ~~notes.~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes. The difference between the principal amount of the ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes and the liability component (the debt discount) is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the ~~notes.~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes. The effective interest rate is approximately 16.0%. The equity component of the ~~notes~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes is included in additional paid-in capital in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet~~sheets and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Amazon Transaction Agreement

On April 4, 2017, the Company and Amazon entered into a Transaction Agreement (the Amazon Transaction Agreement), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon, warrants to acquire up to 55,286,696 shares of the Company’s common stock (the Amazon Warrant Shares), subject to certain vesting events described below. The Company and Amazon entered into the Amazon Transaction Agreement in connection with existing commercial agreements between the Company and Amazon with respect to the deployment of the Company’s GenKey fuel cell technology at Amazon distribution centers. The existing commercial agreements contemplate, but do not guarantee, future purchase orders for the Company’s fuel cell technology. The vesting of the Amazon Warrant Shares is linked to payments made by Amazon or its affiliates (directly or indirectly through third parties) pursuant to the existing commercial agreements.

The majority of the Amazon Warrant Shares will vest based on Amazon’s payment of up to $600.0 million to the Company in connection with Amazon’s purchase of goods and services from the Company. The first tranche of 5,819,652 Amazon Warrant Shares vested upon the execution of the Amazon Transaction Agreement. Accordingly, $6.7 million, the fair value of the first tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares, was recognized as selling, general and administrative expense ~~on the 2017 unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.~~during 2017. All future provision for common stock warrants ~~wil be~~is measured based on their grant-date fair value and recorded inas a charge against revenue.

each time Amazon or its affiliates, directly or indirectly through third parties, make an aggregate of $50.0 million in payments for goods and services to the Company, up to payments totaling $400.0 million in the aggregate. The exercise price of the third tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares ~~will be~~is $13.81, which is an amount per share equal to ninety percent (90%) of the 30-day volume weighted average share price of the common stock as of the final vesting date of the second tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares. The Amazon Warrant Shares are exercisable through April 4, 2027.

The Amazon Warrant Shares provide for net share settlement that, if elected by the holders, will reduce the number of shares issued upon exercise to reflect net settlement of the exercise price. The Amazon Warrant Shares provide for certain adjustments that may be made to the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise due to customary anti-dilution provisions based on future events. These warrants are classified as equity instruments.

Because the Amazon Warrant Shares contain performance criteria (i.e., aggregate purchase levels), which Amazon must achieve for the Amazon Warrant Shares to vest, as detailed above, the final measurement date for the Amazon Warrant Shares is the date on which the Amazon Warrant Shares vest. Prior to the final measurement, when achievement of the performance criteria has been deemed probable, the estimated fair value of Amazon Warrant Shares is being recorded as a reduction to revenue and an addition to additional paid-in capital based on the projected number of Amazon Warrant Shares expected to vest, the proportion of purchases by Amazon and its affiliates within the period relative to the aggregate purchase levels required for the Amazon Warrant Shares to vest and the then-current fair value of the related Amazon Warrant Shares. To the extent that projections change in the future as to the number of Amazon Warrant Shares that will vest, as well as changes in the fair value of the Amazon Warrant Shares, a cumulative catch-up adjustment will be recorded in the period in which the estimates change.

At September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, 27,643,347 and 20,368,782 of the Amazon Warrant Shares had ~~vested.~~vested, respectively.

The amount of provision for common stock warrants recorded as a reduction of revenue for the Amazon Warrant during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ was ~~$4.4~~$22.0 million and ~~$7.1~~$2.0 million, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2020, approximately $23.8 million of recorded revenue from Amazon was constrained by the tranche 3 of the Amazon Warrant Shares. An additional 7,274,565 Amazon Warrant Shares vested on November 2, 2020, representing the final vesting of tranche 2, resulting in cumulative vesting in 34,917,912 Warrant Shares since the execution of the Amazon Transaction Agreement. In accordance with terms of the Amazon Transaction Agreement as described above, upon final vesting of tranche 2, the tranche 3 Amazon Warrant Shares exercise price was determined to be $13.81 per share. Based on the exercise price of the third tranche of the Amazon Warrant Shares, among other things, the fair value of the 20,368,784 tranche 3 Amazon Warrant Shares is estimated to be $10.60 each, compared to the fair value of tranche 2 Amazon Warrant Shares of $1.05 each.

The Company also recorded a provision for losses of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 related to Amazon service contracts, caused primarily by the increase in the value of the tranche 3 warrants, driven by recent increases in the Company’s stock price.

Walmart Transaction Agreement

On July 20, 2017, the Company and Walmart entered into a Transaction Agreement (the Walmart Transaction Agreement), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to Walmart a warrant to acquire up to 55,286,696 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain vesting events (the Walmart Warrant Shares). The Company and Walmart entered into the Walmart Transaction Agreement in connection with existing commercial agreements between the Company and Walmart with respect to the deployment of the Company’s GenKey fuel cell technology across various Walmart distribution centers. The existing commercial agreements contemplate, but do not guarantee, future purchase orders for the Company’s fuel cell technology. The vesting of the warrant shares is linked to payments made by Walmart or its affiliates (directly or indirectly through third parties) pursuant to transactions entered into after January 1, 2017 under existing commercial agreements.

The majority of the Walmart Warrant Shares will vest based on Walmart’s payment of up to $600.0 million to the Company in connection with Walmart’s purchase of goods and services from the Company. The first tranche of 5,819,652 Walmart Warrant Shares vested upon the execution of the Walmart Transaction Agreement. Accordingly, $10.9 million, the fair value of the first tranche of Walmart Warrant Shares, was recorded as a provision for common stock warrants and presented as a reduction to revenue on the ~~2017~~ unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of ~~operations.~~operations during 2017.

The exercise price for the first and second tranches of Walmart Warrant Shares ~~will be~~is $2.1231 per share.

Company, up to payments totaling $400.0 million in the aggregate. The exercise price of the third tranche of Walmart Warrant Shares will be an amount per share equal to ninety percent (90%) of the 30-day volume weighted average share price of the common stock as of the final vesting date of the second tranche of Walmart Warrant Shares, provided that, with limited exceptions, the exercise price for the third tranche will be no lower than $1.1893. The Walmart Warrant Shares are exercisable through July 20, 2027.

The Walmart Warrant Shares provide for net share settlement that, if elected by the holders, will reduce the number of shares issued upon exercise to reflect net settlement of the exercise price. The Walmart Warrant Shares provide for certain adjustments that may be made to the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise due to customary anti-dilution provisions based on future events. These warrants are classified as equity instruments.

Because the Walmart Warrant Shares contain performance criteria (i.e., aggregate purchase levels), which Walmart must achieve for the Walmart Warrant Shares to vest, as detailed above, the final measurement date for the Walmart Warrant Shares is the date on which the Walmart Warrant Shares vest. Prior to the final measurement, when achievement of the performance criteria has been deemed probable, the estimated fair value of Walmart Warrant Shares is being recorded as a reduction to revenue and an addition to additional paid-in capital based on the projected number of Walmart Warrant Shares expected to vest, the proportion of purchases by Walmart and its affiliates within the period relative to the aggregate purchase levels required for the Walmart Warrant Shares to vest and the then-current fair value of the related Walmart Warrant Shares. To the extent that projections change in the future as to the number of Walmart Warrant Shares that will vest, as well as changes in the fair value of the Walmart Warrant Shares, a cumulative catch-up adjustment will be recorded in the period in which the estimates change.

~~The contract~~

Contract assets relate to contracts for which revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis, however billings escalate over the ~~Company’s rights~~life of a contract. Contract assets also include amounts recognized as revenue in advance of billings to ~~consideration for work completed but not billed.~~customers, which are dependent upon the satisfaction of another performance obligation. These amounts are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet.~~sheets.

The contract liabilities relate to the advance consideration received from customers for services that will be recognized over time (primarily fuel cell and related infrastructure services). Contract liabilities also include advance consideration received from customers prior to delivery of products. These amounts are included within deferred revenue on the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated interim balance ~~sheet.~~sheets.

Contract costs

Contract costs consist of capitalized commission fees and other expenses related to obtaining or fulfilling a contract.

Capitalized contract costs at September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 were ~~$0.5~~$1.3 million and ~~$0.2,~~$0.5, respectively. Expense related to the amortization of capitalized contract costs was not significant for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

~~13.~~14. Income Taxes

The Company recognized an income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2020 of ~~$1.7~~$6.5 million and ~~$7.6~~$24.2 million, respectively. Income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $6.5 million and $19.0 million, respectively ~~as a result of~~resulting from the intraperiod tax allocation rules under ASC Topic 740-20, Intraperiod Tax Allocation, under which the Company recognized an income tax benefit resulting from a ~~benefit for current losses as a result~~source of ~~an entry~~future taxable income attributable to the net credit to additional paid-in capital related to the issuance of the ~~$100 million~~3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, ~~discussed in Note 8,~~offset by the partial extinguishment of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes. ~~The~~In addition, the Company ~~did not record any~~recorded $5.2 million of income tax ~~expense or~~ benefit for the ~~three and~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2019.~~2020 related to the recognition of net deferred tax liabilities in connection with the Giner ELX acquisition, which resulted in a corresponding reduction in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The Company has not changed its overall conclusion with respect to the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, which remain fully reserved.

The remaining net deferred tax asset generated from the Company’s current period net operating loss has been offset by a full valuation allowance because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forward will not be realized. The Company also recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of income tax expense.

Common stock warrant liability

—

The Company’s common stock warrant liability represents the only asset or liability classified financial instrument measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value measurement is determined by using Level 3 inputs due to the lack of active and observable markets that can be used to price identical assets. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and should be used to determine fair value only when observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include internally generated data and assumptions being used to price the asset or liability.

~~Table of Contents~~

Fair value of the common stock warrant liability is based on the Black-Scholes pricing model which is based, in part, upon unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The Company used the following assumptions ~~for~~to measure the fair value of its liability-classified common stock warrants:


		Nine months ended
	~~Nine months ended~~
	September 30, 2019	~~September 30, 2018~~
Risk-free interest rate	1.99% - 2.51%	~~1.64% - 2.56%~~
Volatility	22.62% - 74.93%	~~18.40% - 81.69%~~
Expected average term	0.03 - 0.53	~~0.01 - 1.53~~

There was no0 expected dividend yield for the warrants granted.

If factors change and different assumptions are used, the warrant liability and the change in estimated fair value could be materially different. Generally, as the market price of our common stock increases, the fair value of the warrants increase, and conversely, as the market price of our common stock decreases, the fair value of the warrants decrease. Also, a significant increase in the volatility of the market price of the Company’s common stock, in isolation, would result in significantly higher fair value measurements; and a significant decrease in volatility would result in significantly lower fair value measurements.

~~Equity Instruments~~

The fair value measurement of the Company’s equity-classified common stock warrants further described in Note 11, Warrant Transaction Agreements, is determined by using Level 3 inputs due to the lack of active and observable markets that can be used to price identical instruments.

Fair value of the equity-classified common stock warrants is based on the Monte Carlo pricing model which is based, in part, upon unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

~~The Company used the following assumptions for its equity-classified common stock warrants:~~


	~~Nine months ended~~
	~~September 30, 2019~~	~~September 30, 2018~~
~~Risk-free interest rate~~	~~1.62% - 2.33%~~	~~2.72% - 2.80%~~
~~Volatility~~	~~85.00%~~	~~75.00% - 85.00%~~
~~Expected average term~~	~~7.51 - 8.30~~	~~8.51 - 9.30~~

The Monte Carlo pricing models used in the determination of the fair value of the equity-classified warrants also incorporate assumptions involving future revenues associated with Amazon and Walmart, and related timing.

The following table represents the fair value per warrant on the execution date of the Amazon Transaction Agreement and the Walmart Transaction Agreements, the vesting dates, if applicable, and as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 for those warrants for which vesting is considered probable.

Lessor Obligations

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had noncancelable operating leases (as lessor), primarily associated with assets deployed at customer sites. These leases expire over the next one to ~~seven~~nine years. Leases contain termination clauses with associated penalties, the amount of which cause the likelihood of cancellation to be remote.

Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 were as follows (in thousands):

Lessee Obligations

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company ~~has~~had operating and finance leases, as lessee, primarily associated with sale/leaseback transactions that are partially secured by restricted cash, security deposits and pledged escrows (see also Note 1, Nature of Operations) as summarized below. These leases expire over the next one to ~~nine~~eight years. Minimum rent payments under operating and finance leases are recognized on a ~~straight‑line~~straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases contain termination clauses with associated penalties, the amount of which cause the likelihood of cancellation to be remote.

In prior periods, the Company entered into sale/leaseback transactions that were accounted for as finance leases and reported as part of finance obligations. The outstanding balance of finance obligations related to sale/leaseback transactions at September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$33.6~~$25.9 million and ~~$81.9~~$31.7 million, respectively. The fair value of the finance obligation approximated the carrying value as of both September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The Company has sold future services to be performed associated with certain sale/leaseback transactions and recorded the balance as a finance obligation. The outstanding balance of this obligation at September 30, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$83.2 million, $12.0 million and $71.2~~$144.3 million, of which ~~was~~$22.2 million and $122.1 million were classified as short-term and long-term, respectively, on the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet.~~sheets.

Litigation

Legal matters are defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. The Company has established accruals for matters for which management considers a loss to be probable and reasonably estimable. It is the opinion of management that facts known at the present time do not indicate that such litigation, after taking into account insurance coverage and the aforementioned accruals, will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables exist due to the limited number of select customers with whom the Company has initial commercial sales arrangements. To mitigate credit risk, the Company performs appropriate evaluation of a prospective customer’s financial condition.

At September 30, ~~2019, two customers~~2020, 1 customer comprised approximately ~~74.2%~~84.5% of the total accounts receivable balance. At December 31, ~~2018, three~~2019, 2 customers comprised approximately ~~52.3%~~63.4% of the total accounts receivable balance.

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2019, 62.4%~~2020, 71.8% of total consolidated revenues were associated primarily with ~~three~~two customers. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018, 66.3%~~2019, 62.3% of total consolidated revenues were

~~Table of Contents~~

associated primarily with ~~two~~3 customers. For purposes of assigning a customer to a sale/leaseback transaction completed with a financial institution, the Company considers the end user of the assets to be the ultimate customer.

~~Vendor Reimbursement~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company received $4.5 million from a vendor to help facilitate a field replacement program for certain composite fuel tanks that do not meet the supply contract standard, as determined by the Company and the manufacturer. The Company is working with its customers to ensure an efficient, minimally disruptive process for the exchange. Amounts received under this arrangement are being accounted for as a reduction of costs. Such costs included labor and materials to replace the tanks, the manufacture of temporary replacement units used while tanks are being replaced, and other miscellaneous costs.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within this report, and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the following discussion contain statements that are not historical facts and are considered forward-looking within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). These forward-looking statements contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position or state other forward-looking information. In some cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “plan,” “projected” or the negative of such words or other similar words or phrases. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control and that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on forward-looking statements because they involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to: the risk that we continue to incur losses and anticipate continuing to incur losses; the risk that we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and such capital may not be available to us; our ability to obtain financing arrangements to support the sale or leasing of our products and services to customers; the risk of dilution to our stockholders and/or stock price should we need to raise additional capital; the risk that a sale of a significant number of shares of stock could depress the market price of our common stock; the risk that our convertible debt securities,

●

the risk that we continue to incur losses and might never achieve or maintain profitability;

●

the risk that we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and such capital may not be available to us;

●

the risk of dilution to our stockholders and/or stock price should we need to raise additional capital;

●

the risk that our lack of extensive experience in manufacturing and marketing products may impact our ability to manufacture and market products on a profitable and large-scale commercial basis;

●

the risk that unit orders may not ship, be installed and/or converted to revenue, in whole or in part;

●

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Update

As a result ~~only approximately 0.2%~~ of ~~fuel cells deployed~~the COVID-19 pandemic, state governments—including those in New York and Washington, where our manufacturing facilities are ~~still under standard warranty~~located—have issued orders requiring businesses that isdo not conduct essential services to temporarily close their physical workplaces to employees and customers. We are currently deemed an essential business and, as a ~~part~~result, are exempt from these state orders, in their current form. In March 2020, we put in place a number of ~~an extended maintenance contract.~~

protective measures in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. These measures include the canceling of all commercial air travel and all other non-critical travel, requesting that employees limit non-essential personal travel, eliminating all but essential third-party access to our facilities, enhancing our facilities’ janitorial and sanitary procedures, encouraging employees to work from home to the extent their job function enables them to do so, encouraging the use of virtual employee meetings, and providing staggered shifts and social distancing measures for those employees associated with manufacturing and service operations.

~~Table~~

We cannot predict at this time the full extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, results and financial condition, which will depend on many factors. We are staying in close communication with our manufacturing facilities, employees, customers, suppliers and partners, and acting to mitigate the impact of ~~Contents~~this dynamic and evolving situation, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. Although as of the date hereof, we have not observed any material impacts to our supply of components, the situation is fluid. Many of the parts for our products are sourced from suppliers in China and the manufacturing situation in China remains variable. Supply chain disruptions could reduce the availability of key components, increase prices or both. Some of our customers, such as certain automotive manufacturers, have suspended operations at their facilities due to COVID-19. Accordingly, while those customers continue to pay for the leasing and servicing of our products, they are not purchasing hydrogen fuel. Other customers are essential businesses and remain in operation. Certain of these customers, such as Walmart, significantly increased their use of units and hydrogen fuel consumption as a result of COVID-19. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our services and power purchase agreement margins were negatively impacted by incremental service costs associated with increased usage of units at some of our primary customer sites. In addition, future changes in applicable government orders or regulations, or changes in the interpretation of existing orders or regulations, could result in further disruptions to our business that may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Borrowings/August 2020 Equity Raise

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company borrowed an additional $50.0 million, under an amended loan agreement with Generate Lending, LLC.

Also, in August 2020, the Company issued and sold in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 35,276,250 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $10.25 per share for net proceeds of approximately $344.4 million.

Amazon Warrants

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 27,643,347 and 20,368,782 of the Amazon Warrant Shares had vested, respectively. The amount of provision for common stock warrants recorded as a reduction of revenue for the Amazon Warrant during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $17.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The amount of provision for common stock warrants recorded as a reduction of revenue for the Amazon Warrant during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $22.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Results of Operations

Our primary sources of revenue are from sales of fuel cell systems and related infrastructure, services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and fuel delivered to customers. Revenue from sales of fuel cell systems and related infrastructure represents sales of our GenDrive units, GenSure stationary backup power units, as well as hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Revenue from services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure represents revenue earned on our service and maintenance contracts and sales of spare parts. Revenue from PPAs primarily represents payments received from customers who make monthly payments to access the Company’s GenKey solution. Revenue associated with fuel delivered to customers represents the sale of hydrogen to customers that has been purchased by the Company from a third party or generated on site.

In 2017, in separate transactions, the Company issued to each of Amazon and Walmart warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recorded a portion of the estimated fair value of the warrants as a reduction of revenue based upon the projected number of shares of common stock expected to vest under the warrants, theproportion of purchases by Amazon, Walmart and their affiliates within the period relative to the aggregate purchase levels required for vesting of the respective warrants, and the then-current fair value of the warrants. ~~Beginning in September 2018,~~During the ~~provision for common stock warrants~~fourth quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2019-08, with retrospective adoption as of January 1, 2019. As a result, the amount recorded as a reduction of revenue was ~~allocated to our individual revenue line items~~measured based on ~~estimated contractual cash flows by revenue stream. Prior period amounts have been reclassified~~the grant-date fair value of the warrants. Previously, this amount was measured based on vesting date fair value with estimates of fair value determined at each financial reporting date for unvested warrant shares considered to be ~~consistent with current period presentation.~~ probable of vesting. Except for the third tranche, all existing unvested warrants are using a measurement date of January 1, 2019, the adoption date, in accordance ASU 2019-08.

The amount of provision for common stock warrants recorded as a reduction of revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, is shown in the table below (in thousands):

Common Stock Warrant Liability

~~Change in fair value of common stock warrant liability.~~The Company accounts for common stock warrants as common stock warrant liability with changes in the fair value reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations as change in the fair value of common stock warrant liability.

All remaining common stock warrants were fully exercised in the fourth quarter of 2019. As such, there was no change in fair value as of September 30, 2020.

Contingent Consideration

In the second quarter of 2020 the Company recorded a provisional amount of $7.8 million in contingent consideration, related to the valuation of Giner ELX’s earnout payments that the sellers are eligible to receive. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company assessed the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $8.9 million. The $1.1 million change in fair value of ~~common stock warrant liability~~the contingent consideration is reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 resulted in a decrease in the associated warrant liability of $0.4 million as compared to a decrease of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. These variances were primarily due to changes in the average remaining term ~~of the warrants, the increase in Company’s common stock price,~~ and ~~changes in volatility of our common stock, which are significant inputs to the Black-Scholes valuation model used to calculate this fair value change.~~

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

We have historically funded our operations primarily through public and private offerings of equity and debt, as well as short-term borrowings, long-term debt and project financings. The Company believes that its current working capital and cash anticipated to be generated from future operations, as well as borrowings from lending and project financing sources and proceeds from equity and debt offerings, including our at-the-market offering, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. There is no guarantee that future funding will be available if and when required or at terms acceptable to the Company. This projection is based on our current expectations regarding new project financing and product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions.

~~Operating or~~ Finance Leases

The Company enters into sale/leaseback agreements with various financial institutions to facilitate the Company’s commercial transactions with key customers. The Company sells certain fuel cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure to the financial institutions and leases the equipment back to support certain customer locations and to fulfill its varied Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). Transactions completed under the sale/leaseback arrangements are generally accounted for as operating leases and therefore the sales of the fuel cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure are recognized as revenue. In connection with certain ~~operating leases,~~sale/leaseback transactions, the financial institutions require the Company to maintain cash balances in restricted accounts securing the Company’s finance obligations. Cash received from customers under the PPAs is used to make payments against ~~our~~the Company’s finance obligations. As the Company performs under these agreements, the required restricted cash balances are released, according to a set schedule. The total remaining lease payments to financial institutions under these agreements at September 30, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$168.9~~$332.8 million, ~~$162.0~~$286.2 million of which were secured with restricted cash, security deposits backing letters of credit, and pledged service escrows.

Over recent years, including in ~~2018 and~~ 2019, were accounted for as operating leases and therefore the sales of the fuel cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure were recognized as revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Transactions completed under the Wells Fargo MLA in 2017 were accounted for as finance leases. The difference in lease classification is due to changes in financing terms and their bearing on lease assessment criteria. Also included in the remaining lease payments to Wells Fargo is a sale/leaseback transaction in 2015 that was accounted for as an operating lease. In connection with the Wells Fargo MLA, the Company has a

During the nine months ended September 30 2020, the Company entered into additional lease agreements with KeyBank, First American, Truist Bank, Crestmark and U.S. Bank. Similar to the Wells Fargo lease agreements, the primary purpose of these agreements is to finance commercial transactions with ~~Walmart. The~~varied customers. Most of the transactions with ~~KeyBank and SunTrust~~these financial institutions required cash collateral for the unguaranteed portions totaling ~~$6.4 million.~~$189.9 million as of September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company also had letters of credit backed by security deposits totaling $149.3 million for the above noted sale/leaseback agreements.

In addition, as of September 30, 2020, the Company also had letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $0.5 million associated with a finance obligation from the sale/leaseback of its building. We consider cash collateralizing this letter of credit as restricted cash.

Secured Debt

In March 2019, the Company, and its subsidiaries Emerging Power Inc. and Emergent Power Inc., entered into a loan and security agreement, as amended (the Loan Agreement), with Generate Lending, LLC (Generate Capital), providing for a secured term loan facility in the amount of $100.0 million (the Term Loan Facility). The Company borrowed $85.0 million under the Loan Agreement on the date of closing and borrowed an additional $15.0 million in April 2019 and $20 million in November 2019. A portion of the initial proceeds of the loan was used to pay in full the Company’s long-term debt with NY Green Bank, a Division of the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority, including accrued interest of $17.6 million (the Green Bank Loan), and terminate approximately $50.3 million of certain equipment leases with Generate Plug Power SLB II, LLC and repurchase the associated leased equipment. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.5 ~~million.~~million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

We have historically funded our operations primarily through public and private offerings of equity and debt, as well as short-term borrowings, long-term debt and project financings. The Company believes that its current working capital and cash anticipated to be generated from future operations, as well as borrowings from lending and project financing sources and proceeds from equity and debt offerings, including the at-the-market offering, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. There is no guarantee that future funding will be available if and when required or at terms acceptable to the Company. This projection is based on our current expectations regarding new project financing and product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions.

net of costs incurred, was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component of approximately $130.3 million, net of costs incurred, representing the conversion option, was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The difference between the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and the liability component (the debt discount) is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The effective interest rate is approximately 29.0%. The equity component of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes is included in additional paid-in capital in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

of the note may convert at its option at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately prior to the maturity date for shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the note will be automatically converted if (1) the daily volume-weighted average price per share of common stock exceeds 175% of the conversion price (as described above) on each of the 20 consecutive VWAP trading days (as defined in the note) beginning after the issue date of the note and (2) certain equity conditions (as defined in the note) are satisfied. Only if both criteria are met is the note automatically converted. Upon either the voluntary or automatic conversion of the note, the Company will deliver shares of common stock based on (1) the then-effective conversion rate and (2) the original principal amount of $40 million and not the maturity principal amount of $48 million. The note does not allow cash settlement (entirely or partially) upon conversion. As such, ~~the Company uses the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion option on diluted earnings per share.~~

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change prior to the maturity date, subject to certain limitations, the holder may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the note at a cash repurchase price equal to any accrued and unpaid interest on the note (or portion thereof), plus the greater of (1) 115% of the maturity principal amount of $48 million (or portion thereof) and (2) 110% of the product of (i) the conversion rate in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of such fundamental change; (ii) the principal amount of the $40 million note to be repurchased divided by $1,000; and (iii) the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock over the five consecutive VWAP trading days immediately before the effective date of such fundamental change.

In addition, with the consent of the holder of the note, subject to certain limitations, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the note, at the Company’s option, at a cash redemption price equal to any accrued and unpaid interest on the note (or portion thereof), plus the greater of (1) 105% of the maturity principal amount of $48 million (or portion thereof); and (2) 115% of the product of (i) the conversion rate in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the related redemption date; (ii) the principal amount of the $40 million note to be redeemed divided by $1,000; and (iii) the arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of common stock over the five consecutive VWAP trading days immediately before the related redemption date.

The vesting of the warrant shares is linked to payments made by Walmart or its affiliates (directly or indirectly through third parties) pursuant to transactions entered into after January 1, 2017 under existing commercial agreements.

7,274,565 Walmart Warrant Shares each time Walmart or its affiliates, directly or indirectly through third parties, make an aggregate of $50.0 million in payments for goods and services to the Company, up to payments totaling $200.0 million in the aggregate. The exercise price for the first and second tranches of Walmart Warrant Shares is $2.1231 per share.

The exercise price of the third tranche of Walmart Warrant Shares will be an amount per share equal to ninety percent (90%) of the 30-day volume weighted average share price of the common stock as of the final vesting date of the second tranche of Walmart Warrant Shares, provided that, with limited exceptions, the exercise price for the third tranche will be no lower than $1.1893. The Walmart Warrant Shares are exercisable through July 20, 2027.

The Walmart Warrant Shares provide for net share settlement that, if elected by the holders, will reduce the number of shares issued upon exercise to reflect net settlement of the exercise price.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of and during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition for ~~multiple element arrangements,~~ bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, valuation of long-lived assets, accrual for loss contracts on service, operating and finance leases, product warranty reserves, unbilled revenue, common stock warrants, income taxes, stock-based compensation, contingencies, and purchase accounting. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about (1) the carrying values of assets and liabilities and (2) the amount of revenue and expenses realized that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We refer to the policies and estimates set forth in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates”, as well as a discussion of significant accounting policies included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the consolidated financial statements, both of which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

payment awards. The amendments also clarify that ASC Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC Topic 606, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~. The amendments in this accounting update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC Topic 606. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

losses, including the utilization of an expected credit loss model, which requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the entire lifetime of the asset, including losses where probability is considered remote. Additionally, the standard requires the estimation of lifetime expected losses for trade receivables and contract assets that

are classified as current. The Company adopted these standards effective January 1, 2020 and determined the impact of the standards to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

From time to time, we may invest our cash in government, government backed and interest-bearing investment-grade securities that we generally hold for the duration of the term of the respective instrument. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or

transactions in any material fashion, except for the 5.5% Notes Capped Call and Common Stock Forward purchased in March 2018 related to the issuance of ~~$100 million~~5.5% Convertible Senior Notes and the 3.75% Notes Capped Call purchased in May 2020 related to the issuance of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. We are not subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.

Our exposure to changes in foreign currency rates is primarily related to sourcing inventory from foreign locations and operations of HyPulsion, S.A.S., our French subsidiary that develops and sells hydrogen fuel cell systems for the European material handling market. This practice can give rise to foreign exchange risk resulting from the varying cost of inventory to the receiving location. The Company reviews the level of foreign content as part of its ongoing evaluation of overall sourcing strategies and considers the exposure to be not significant. Our HyPulsion exposure presently is mitigated by low levels of operations and its sourcing is primarily intercompany in nature and denominated in U.S. dollars.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures.

The chief executive officer and chief financial officer, based on their evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in filed or submitted reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings

On August 28, 2018, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of multiple individuals against the Company and five corporate co-defendants in the 9th Judicial District Court, Rapides Parish, Louisiana. The lawsuit relates to the previously disclosed May 2018 accident involving a forklift powered by the Company’s fuel cell at a Procter & Gamble facility in Louisiana. The lawsuit alleges claims against the Company and ~~the~~ co-defendants, including Structural Composites Industries, Deep South Equipment Co., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., and Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. for claims under the Louisiana Product Liability Act, ~~(“LPLA”),~~or LPLA, including defect in construction and/or composition, design defect, inadequate warning, breach of express warranty and negligence for wrongful death and personal injuries, among other damages.

filed suit for property damage, business interruption, loss of revenue, expenses, and other damages. Procter & Gamble alleges theories under the LPLA, breach of warranty and quasi-contractual claims under Louisiana law. Defendants include the Company and several of the same ~~defendants~~co-defendants from the August 2018 ~~lawsuit. The Company intends~~lawsuit, including Structural Composites Industries (“SCI”), an affiliate of Worthington Industries, Deep South Equipment Co., and Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. Fact and expert discovery among the parties is ongoing, and the former of the two cases was set for mediation for early November 2020 until it was postponed due to ~~vigorously~~further discovery requests by the parties and delays caused by the impact of COVID-19. We continue to defend ~~both cases. Given the early stage of~~against these ~~matters, the Company is~~lawsuits vigorously. We are unable to ~~determine~~estimate the ~~likelihood~~possible loss or range of ~~an adverse outcome. While the amount of damages sought in the~~loss, if any, associated with these lawsuits, ~~is yet unspecified,~~but the Company does not expect the

lawsuits to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations, or to otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company.
