Today, FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: FCEL), a global leader in delivering clean, innovative and affordable fuel cell solutions, announced it has completed the restructuring phase of the Company’s transformation:
  • November 5, 2019: Announced the conclusion of the engagement with Huron Consulting. Since June 2, 2019, Huron provided various services related to the Company's restructuring and contingency planning initiatives. The Board's decision was based on the outcome of many actions undertaken by Huron at the direction of the Board that led to the Company's successful restructuring, including the rightsizing of the business, implementation of cost control measures, and the repayment of substantial corporate debt. 
  • November 6, 2019: Announced a new, 8-year $200 million strategic corporate loan facility with Orion Energy Partners. The facility is an integral part of the go-forward capital structure and operating strategy of the Company and will serve to support capital costs associated with completing inflight projects. The Company is planning to leverage the initial October/November 2019 draws totaling $80 million to primarily support execution of certain projects within the Company’s $2 billion project backlog. The balance of the Facility, or $120 million, will be available over the first 18 months to invest in additional project deployments, strategic growth initiatives and provide working capital as needed. 
  • November 6, 2019: Announced an expanded, two-year joint-development agreement with ExxonMobil to further enhance carbon capture technology. The agreement, valued at up to $60 million, will focus efforts on optimizing and enhancing the core carbonate fuel cell technology, accelerate overall process integration, and drive towards large-scale deployment of carbon capture solutions.

During the period of restructuring, the Company executed a series of initiatives aimed at enhancing its financial and operational position. These significant efforts will enable the Company to deliver on current project commitments at a meaningfully lower cost and successfully scale to meet future growth needs.

“The last several months have been a defining time for FuelCell. While challenging, our organization pulled together and executed the restructuring phase of our strategy that will set us up to execute the next leg of our transformation. With the commitment and strategic investments from Orion Capital Partners and ExxonMobil, FuelCell’s opportunity is to accelerate our momentum now and build on our 50 year history leading the advancement of fuel cell technology,” noted Jason Few, President and Chief Executive Officer of FuelCell Energy. “While we still have work to do, I’m proud of the collective efforts of all FuelCell Energy team members. They never lost sight of the needs of our global client base and partners during this time. We have laid the foundation for profitable growth and are now on a path to restore this great Company to a position of industry leadership across all metrics. Our leadership team looks forward to unveiling our go-forward strategy in early 2020.”

The Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, January 14, 2020, at 10:00 am EST to review its financial performance.  In addition, senior leadership will unveil the pillars of its transformation strategy under the direction of its newly appointed President and CEO, Jason Few.  Conference call details will be provided at a later date.
