Eos Chief Executive Officer Joe Mastrangelo said, “I am extremely proud of our team’s execution of the company’s strategic initiatives in our first full year as a public company. In the fourth quarter, Eos made the successful transition to an industrial manufacturer and clearly showed the operating leverage potential when at full scale. Our technology continues to fulfill a core need in today’s and tomorrow’s energy landscape. This is seen not only in our backlog, but also our strong opportunity pipeline growth.”

Mr. Mastrangelo concluded, “As we look to 2022, we continue to see a significant secular growth opportunity where the industry needs longer duration storage, and our technology was designed and built to fulfill that need. We will continue to invest in increasing our manufacturing capacity and improving the technology we deliver to customers. From the strategic supplier and customer agreements we have signed, to achieving ISO quality certification, to advancing through Part I of the Department of Energy’s Renewable Energy loan process, we are positioning the company to deliver in 2022 and beyond.”

Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "project," "expect," "intend," "plan," "should," and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected.

Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: changes adversely affecting the business in which we are engaged; our ability to forecast trends accurately; our ability to generate cash, service indebtedness and incur additional indebtedness; our ability to raise financing in the future; our ability to develop efficient manufacturing processes to scale and to forecast related costs and efficiencies accurately; fluctuations in our revenue and operating results; competition from existing or new competitors; the failure to convert firm order backlog to revenue; risks associated with security breaches in our information technology systems; risks related to legal proceedings or claims; risks associated with evolving energy policies in the United States and other countries and the potential costs of regulatory compliance; risks associated with changes to U.S. trade environment; risks resulting from the impact of global pandemics, including the novel coronavirus, Covid-19; and risks related to adverse changes in general economic conditions.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are also subject to additional risks, uncertainties, and factors, including those more fully described in the Company’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Further information on potential risks that could affect actual results will be included in the subsequent periodic and current reports and other filings that the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks and uncertainties may emerge that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and, except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Key Metrics
Backlog. Our backlog represents the amount of revenue that we expect to realize from existing agreements with our customers for the sale of our battery systems and performance of services. The backlog is calculated by adding the new orders of the current fiscal year to the backlog as of the end of the prior fiscal year and then subtracting the shipments in the current fiscal year. If the amount of an order is modified or if an order from the current fiscal year is cancelled, we adjust orders for the current quarter and our backlog accordingly, but do not retroactively adjust previously published backlogs. However, if an order from a previous fiscal year is cancelled, orders of the current quarter and, accordingly, the current fiscal year are generally not adjusted; instead, the existing backlog is revised directly. There is no comparable US-GAAP financial measure for backlog. We believe that the backlog is a useful indicator regarding the future revenue of our Company.

Pipeline. Our pipeline represents projects that we have submitted technical proposals or non-binding quotes plus customers with letter of intents or firm commitments. Pipeline does not include lead generation projects.

Booked Orders. Booked orders are orders where we have legally binding agreement with a PO/MSA signed and executed by both parties.
