Nice day @ $BNRG 👉️ Brenmiller Energy Further Fortifies Balance Sheet with $2 Million Raised from At-The-Market Equity Offering at $2.19 per Share
September 09 2024 - 8:30AM Business Wire
• Company’s intention going forward is to not utilize the ATM facility under $3.00 per share
• Heat-as-a-Service (“HaaS”) projects with recurring revenues to be funded mainly using third-party project finance, not equity funding, with an aim to enhance shareholder value while simultaneously accelerating Company’s capacity to execute on a project pipeline potentially worth up to $500 million in value
Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (“Brenmiller”, “Brenmiller Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BNRG), a leading global provider of thermal energy storage (“TES”) solutions for industrial and utility customers, today issued an update on its balance sheet and recent commercial developments.
On August 30, 2024, Brenmiller raised approximately $2.0 million in gross proceeds through its existing At-the-Market (“ATM”) equity offering facility with the sale of 914,000 ordinary shares at an average price per share of approximately $2.19. As a result, the Company now has 7,094,791 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Since the beginning of 2024, the Company has raised approximately $10.8 million in gross proceeds. The Company also signed a definitive agreement for the sale of an additional 1,000,000 ordinary shares through a $1.05 million private placement equity investment priced at a 52% premium to market on August 2, 2024 from an existing institutional shareholder, the completion of which is subject to certain closing conditions.
"We are currently working hard to increase the Company's commercial opportunity pipeline with emphasis on HaaS projects, to convert these opportunities into commercial projects, and to improve our financial position by establishing effective financing solutions through equity and debt while continuing our commitment to operational excellence. I want to clearly point out that most of the HaaS projects in our pipeline, including our latest contract with Partner in Pet Food in Europe, will be funded through third-party project financing and will not require extraordinary project-level investment from Brenmiller," stated Brenmiller Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Avi Brenmiller.
Brenmiller Energy delivers low-carbon heat through direct technology sales and a HaaS model. The latter lowers energy transition costs for customers and allows Brenmiller to capture additional recurring revenues through participation in energy market programs.

$BNRG flying on NEWS/volume 👉️ Brenmiller Reports First Half 2024 Financial Results: Upcoming Catalysts Include Potential Milestones on Project Pipeline Representing Up-To $500 Million in Potential Value
August 29 2024 - 4:15PM
Business Wire
Brenmiller entered a definitive agreement for a $1.05 million private placement priced at a 52% premium to market on August 2, 2024, with an existing institutional shareholder which will have the right to make a further investment an additional 1 million shares, in the event the Company’s ordinary shares close at or above $2.50 per share within the next 12 months
Projects currently in development and construction phases are expected to produce multiple recurring revenue streams
Expanding bGen™ into new application for cooling AI data centers with the development of a Cold Thermal Energy Storage solution, the bGen™ Cool
Brenmiller Energy Ltd. ("Brenmiller", "Brenmiller Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BNRG), a leading global provider of thermal energy storage ("TES") solutions for industrial and utility markets, today reported financial results as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, in addition to operational and recent business development updates.
Management Commentary
“Our pioneering bGen™ thermal battery continues to support the growing and mostly unmet need for on-demand access to sustainable heat. We have built an impressive project pipeline, potentially worth up to $500 million in value, and our team is working tirelessly, day in and day out, to move this pipeline forward so that we can start delivering meaningful cost savings and emissions reductions for our customers as well as recurring revenues for our company and value for our shareholders,” said Brenmiller Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Avi Brenmiller, “Among the proposals in our pipelines, several include negotiations with some of the world’s largest producers of consumer goods, including Fortune 500s. All of our potential contracts are in geographic markets with robust manufacturing sectors and where established regulations make our technology feasible and cost-competitive—or cheaper—with fossil fuels.”
“In an exciting new development, our team is exploring ways to expand our technology’s capabilities to deliver cold thermal energy storage (“CTES”) for artificial intelligence (“AI”) data centers. The rapid growth of AI computing and the funding-rich ecosystem around AI applications has created downstream decarbonization and financial opportunities that we believe can be met using CTES. We anticipate minimal investment is needed to adapt our bGen™ thermal battery for data center applications.”
“As we continue executing our current projects and increasing worldwide distribution through local partnerships, we expect our gigafactory to be fully operational by the end of 2024, with capacity to produce up to 4 GWh of bGen™ systems annually. We are very optimistic about market demand for our bGen™ TES technology and our ability to deliver throughout the remainder of 2024 and into the future.”
First Half 2024 and Recent Operational and Business Developments
HaaS Recurring Revenue Projects to Deliver Customer Savings and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Brenmiller to build, own and operate a 30 MWh bGen™ ZERO system for one of Europe’s largest pet food manufacturers: On August 19, 2024, Brenmiller entered a 12-year Heat as a Service ("HaaS") agreement with Partner in Pet Food Hungaria KFT ("PPF"), one of Europe’s leading private label pet food producers. Brenmiller will deliver low-cost and low-carbon steam to PPF and be in a position to offer grid balancing services to the local transmission system operator. This is the first project through which Brenmiller will generate revenues from both selling heat as a service and offering balancing services to the local grid. Brenmiller’s bGen™ ZERO will take priority over PPF’s existing fossil fuel boilers, lowering the pet food manufacturer’s energy costs and carbon footprint by reducing gas use at its Hungarian factory by 25-30%. PPF will purchase steam from Brenmiller at a fixed rate.
bGen™ ZERO installation moves into construction phase at Heineken-backed beverage manufacturing plant for project estimated to save $7.5 million: Brenmiller will replace fossil fuel boilers with a 32 MWh bGen™ system at Tempo Beverages Ltd.’s (“Tempo”) beverage production plant in Netanya, Israel. Tempo will purchase steam from Brenmiller at a fixed rate through a HaaS contract. By eliminating the use of approximately 2,000 tons of heavy fuel each year, Brenmiller’s bGen™ is estimated to mitigate over 6,200 tons of carbon emissions annually and save Tempo an estimated $7.5 million over 15 years. Partially owned by Heineken International B.V., Tempo is one of Israel’s largest producers and distributors of beverages for brands including Heineken and Pepsi. The bGen™ TES system for Tempo will charge using a combination of roof-top solar and ultra-low-cost off-peak grid power. System assembly is expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and commissioned in May 2025.
$450,000 grant from Israel Innovation Authority propels $3.55 million agreement to supply clean electric heat to Wolfson Hospital: Brenmiller signed a 7-year definitive agreement to supply Israel’s Wolfson Hospital with electric heat. The project is valued at $3.55 million and Brenmiller will earn recurring revenues through a HaaS contract. A grant of approximately $450,000 from the Israel Innovation Authority is being used to help finance the project. Brenmiller’s bGen™ ZERO will replace Wolfson Hospital’s outdated diesel boilers, which are both costly and polluting. According to the Israeli Ministry of Finance, Brenmiller’s bGen™ ZERO will potentially save Wolfson Hospital up to $1.3 million in annual energy costs and reduce the hospital’s local carbon footprint by 3,900 tons per year.
Successfully handed over bGen™ system to the State University of New York (SUNY) at Purchase: Brenmiller completed all required system tests and operator training for its first U.S. bGen™ installation and handed the system over to SUNY Purchase. bGen™ is expected to eliminate approximately 550 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions for SUNY annually.
Looking to Ramp Sales in North America Through Distribution Partnerships
U.S. distribution gets boost with 5-year $150 million sales milestone license agreement in the Northeast: Brenmiller signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Rock Energy Storage (“RES”). RES will sell and distribute bGen™ TES systems in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New York. The definitive 5-year agreement includes cumulative projected sales milestones exceeding $150 million.
MOU with Proactive Planet to advance potential $6 million worth of projects in Alberta, Canada: A non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) was signed between Brenmiller and Proactive Planet, a renewable energy solutions provider based in Calgary, to distribute bGen™ TES systems to industrial companies and electric utilities in the province of Alberta, Canada. The agreement includes an initial list of potential customers with projects valued at over $6 million and represents potentially 60 MWh of TES capacity.

Summary of Financial Results
Balance Sheet: As of June 30, 2024, Brenmiller had cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits of $6.99 million, a net increase of $3.78 million from $3.21 million on December 31, 2023. This is attributable primarily to fundraising during the six months ended June 30, 2024 of approximately $7.97 million in net proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares, pre-funded warrants and warrants. Total assets increased by 31% as of June 30, 2024, to $13.92 million, primarily due to a $3.78 million increase in cash and cash equivalents following the equity financings completed during the period. Total liabilities decreased by 4% to $7.39 million, primarily driven by a $324,000 reduction in operating lease liabilities. Shareholders' equity increased by 127% to $6.54 million, largely due to the equity financings completed during the period.
Income Statement: Operating loss narrowed for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $5.38 million, compared to $5.42 million for the same period in 2023. Net loss narrowed by 70% to $1.58 million, down from $5.33 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by a $3.72 million increase in financial income, mainly resulting from a fair value adjustment of warrants.
Cash Flow Statement: Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.86 million, which primarily reflects a net loss of $1.58 million and a non-cash adjustment of $2.46 million. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.86 million compared to $366,000 in the prior year period.
