First Quarter 2023 Highlights
Executive Commentary
“During the first quarter of 2023, we embraced a new chapter of growth and resilience at Heliogen. After introducing our strategic initiatives aimed at delivering significant value to our shareholders and customers, we devised our cost reduction program and began to implement it at the end of March,” said Christie Obiaya, Heliogen’s Chief Executive Officer.
Ms. Obiaya continued, “We are committed to accelerating our sales and establishing stronger relationships with our commercial partners, as well as leveraging research and development opportunities that validate important applications for decarbonization. Our focus on perfecting our product-market fit, expediting the deployment of large-scale projects, and ensuring financial stability will help drive Heliogen’s success in the coming quarters. In a short time, we have made great progress on our strategic initiatives, and we will continue to forge ahead with determination to deliver on the promise of our groundbreaking technology.”
First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
For the first quarter 2023, Heliogen reported total revenue of $1.9 million and net loss of $10.5 million. Heliogen’s net loss in the fourth quarter 2022 was $35.0 million. The change in net loss for the first quarter 2023 compared to the fourth quarter 2022 was driven primarily by a non-cash reduction of share-based compensation expense of $17.5 million and a $6.6 million decrease of R&D expenses. Heliogen’s Adjusted EBITDA was negative $17.8 million for first quarter 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Management uses certain financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our financial and operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts to assess our ongoing financial performance because they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past financial performance and future prospects, and remove items that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
EBITDA represents consolidated net loss before (i) interest (income) expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends. Please see the accompanying tables for a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
