Brenmiller Energy Ltd. ("Brenmiller", "Brenmiller Energy”) (Nasdaq: BNRG; TASE: BNRG), a global leader in thermal energy storage (“TES”), today announced financial results as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, in addition to operational and recent business development updates.
Management Commentary
“Our newly launched bGen ZERO provides, in our opinion, the most cost-effective and efficient way to electrify heat and decarbonize the industrial and power sectors. Decarbonization of heat is the low hanging fruit of fighting climate change, as heat is the largest energy end-use,” stated Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. “These are the reasons driving intense interest in bGen, as evidenced in our system installations to date and the recent agreements we’ve signed with some of the world’s leading renewable energy companies.”
“By focusing on power-to-heat, we have opened the potential for new revenue streams through direct sales as well as providing energy-as-a-service to industrial operators and grid services. Our project pipeline continues to grow and remains focused on Europe and the U.S., with additional strong prospects in South America and South Asia.”
Brenmiller’s recent webinar unveiling bGen ZERO and its business focus on power-to-heat is available on the Company’s website.
New Projects
Dimona Israel Production Facility to Manufacture bGen and bGen ZERO: World’s First Gigafactory for Thermal Energy Storage
Brenmiller inaugurated its TES gigafactory in Dimona, Israel on May 2, 2023 and to the Company’s knowledge, it is the world’s first TES gigafactory. The new facility serves as Brenmiller’s primary manufacturing hub for its bGen and next-generation bGen ZERO with production lines expected to be operational by the end of 2023 with a planned ramp-up of the Company's production line during 2024 reaching a capacity of up to 4 GWh of TES modules annually. The production facility is financed with non-dilutive funding by the European Investment Bank (EIB) through facility agreement.
Brenmiller’s Ordinary Shares to Trade Exclusively on Nasdaq as of September 11, 2023
As previously announced, Brenmiller is voluntarily delisting its securities from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") effective September 11, 2023.
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses, Net
Research, development, and engineering expenses, net of government grants, were $1.67 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.47 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The 33% decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.19 million in payroll and related expenses, a decrease of $0.33 million in raw materials used in research and development projects, a decrease of $0.15 million in consultants and subcontractors and a decrease of $0.30 million in depreciation and other expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was offset by a net decrease of $0.17 million in government grants received in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The Company expects research, development, and engineering expenses will remain similar to those during the period ended June 30, 2023.

Balance Sheet Update
As of June 30, 2023, Brenmiller had cash and cash equivalents of $6.74 million, a net increase of $0.2 million from $6.51 million on December 31, 2022. This is attributable primarily to net proceeds of approximately $6.0 million received from a private placement with aggregate gross proceeds of $2.5 million in June and the issuance of ordinary shares and warrants under a private placement investment in February 2023 for gross proceeds of $3.6 million which included participation from Brenmiller management, offset by net cash used in operating activities of $3.0 million and an additional $2.1 million used in connection with the Company’s Dimona production facility.
