Guidance and Future Outlook:

- Upon completion of consolidation, Thorn Hill is expected to have approximately 4 GWh of annual nameplate capacity across two production lines.
- The strategic move is expected to accelerate the realization of a lower-cost, single-site manufacturing footprint and associated operating efficiencies in 2027.
Business Segments and Product Lines:
- Delivered record revenue through shipments to 10 projects.
- Cube shipments increased 216% year-over-year and 23% sequentially.
- Cumulative energy discharged from Eos technology reached 6.9 GWh, up nearly 400 MWh sequentially.
- Line 2 reached first-pass yield parity with Line 1 within three months of operation and contributed 17% of total battery output, up from approximately 1% in the second quarter.
- Line 2 delivered approximately 20% higher battery output per shift than Line 1.
- Announced a project with MN8 Energy to deliver 10 MW/100 MWh of Z3™ zinc-based LDES in West Virginia, serving Google's data centers.

- Commercial opportunity pipeline totaled $24.9 billion.
Market and Competitive Landscape:
- Demand continued across commercial and industrial (C&I) and data center markets.

- The company is the leading innovator in designing, manufacturing, and providing zinc-based LDES systems sourced and manufactured in the United States.
Risks and Challenges:
- Manufacturing consolidation and the transition to Thorn Hill are expected to temporarily impact production capacity and the timing of certain shipments.
- Risks include the ability to forecast trends accurately, generate cash, service indebtedness, and raise future financing.
- Potential risks involve the successful execution of manufacturing consolidation, Line 1 disassembly, relocation, recommissioning, and ramp-up.
- Risks include the ability of customers to secure project financing and the availability of final tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act.
- Risks associated with the Department of Energy Loan Facility timing and availability, as well as potential default or dilution risks related to the credit agreement with Cerberus.
- Risks related to supply chain disruptions, geopolitical conflict, and evolving energy policies.

- Management noted that Line 2 achieved first-pass yield parity with Line 1 four times faster than previous benchmarks.

- Management expressed confidence in remaining on track to achieve the lower half of the full-year revenue outlook.
Other Key Points:
- Received $87 million as the first advance under the second tranche of the U.S. Department of Energy loan.
