Stem Brings PowerTrack EMS to Latin America’s Utility-Scale Hybrid Market with Granja Solar Project in ChileMay 27, 2026 8:05 AM
Business Wire Stem's PowerTrack™ deployment at the Granja Solar project in Chile establishes a model for future solar and battery storage projects in key regional markets Stem, Inc. (NYSE: STEM), a global leader in AI-enabled clean energy software and services, today announced that Copec Flux, the renewable energy subsidiary of Copec S.A., is deploying Stem’s PowerTrack™ Energy Management System (EMS) at the Granja Solar project in Chile. This development expands Stem’s Latin America footprint and represents a meaningful step into the region’s utility-scale hybrid market. The Granja project is an existing 135 MW PV project that Copec is retrofitting with a 420 MWh BESS to create a hybrid solar-plus-storage facility that allows Copec to supply energy to the national energy grid at more valuable times. As part of that expansion, Stem’s PowerTrack Energy Management System (EMS) will serve as the site’s master control system, providing the controls architecture needed to manage the integrated asset. Stem will provide its PowerTrack edge and cloud solutions to support site-level monitoring, controls, and operational visibility. The project will demonstrate how PowerTrack can unify data, improve oversight, and support more effective operation of solar and storage assets, while Copec Flux provides local market expertise, delivery capabilities, and operational support. “Partnering with Copec expands the reach of PowerTrack into key Latin American markets,” said Matt Tappin, President of Software at Stem. “Beginning with Granja Solar, we have an opportunity to show how advanced monitoring and controls software can help customers improve visibility, streamline operations, and build a stronger foundation for long-term asset performance.” Copec Flux operates as an independent power producer and also provides EPC and O&M services across its renewable energy portfolio. That combination of asset ownership, local execution, and operational capability makes Copec Flux both a strong customer for Granja and an important collaborator as Stem develops a scalable model for localized delivery and support in Latin America. “The model we’re developing at Granja Solar reflects where the energy transition in the region is heading: increasingly integrated, intelligent, and flexible renewable energy projects. By incorporating advanced control systems, we are able to manage energy more efficiently, delivering greater stability and value to the electrical system. This partnership with Stem combines cutting-edge technology with the local execution and operational expertise of Copec, further strengthening our position as a strategic partner for Chile,” said Leonardo Ljubetic, Chief Development Officer at Copec. As Stem continues to expand in the region, Granja Solar is expected to serve as a reference point for future hybrid projects requiring advanced onsite controls, monitoring, and operational coordination. The companies see potential to extend this delivery model across additional projects in Chile and Colombia as demand grows for more integrated solar and storage solutions.

Bluesphere Ventures Selects Stem for New York VDER Storage AdvisoryMay 13, 2026 8:05 AM
Business Wire Selection highlights Stem's track record in New York's complex energy storage markets Stem, Inc. (NYSE: STEM), a global leader in AI-enabled clean energy software and services, today announced that it has entered into a new services agreement with Bluesphere Ventures to support its portfolio of standalone battery energy storage projects participating in New York's Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) program. Under the agreement, Stem will provide revenue modeling, market analysis, and intelligence across Bluesphere Ventures' pipeline of battery storage projects located within Consolidated Edison (ConEd) territory in New York City. Stem's analysis evaluates multiple tariff structures, cycling scenarios, and revenue stacking strategies available under New York's VDER program, drawing on Stem's active operating experience across each modeled scenario. The engagement also incorporates Stem's proprietary Local Law 97 (LL97) optimization capability, a novel revenue stream modeled exclusively for Bluesphere Ventures as part of this engagement. "New York is one of the most complex and opportunity-rich markets for standalone storage in the country and getting the revenue modeling right at the outset is critical," said Mike Carlson, President of Managed Services at Stem. "What sets our approach apart is that we model these systems the same way we operate them, informed by real runtime data from assets already in the ground. That discipline closes the gap between projected and actual performance, and it gives our clients a much more grounded basis for their investment decisions." The VDER program, administered by the New York Public Service Commission, is designed to compensate distributed energy resources for the value they provide to the grid, including reductions in peak demand, locational benefits, and environmental attributes. For standalone storage developers, accurately modeling revenue potential under VDER requires deep familiarity with local market structures, utility tariff options, and how dispatch decisions translate into real-world compensation. Getting that analysis right at the investment stage can materially affect project economics and long-term portfolio performance. "We sought a partner with deep hands-on experience in the New York storage market, not just familiarity with it," said Dustin Muscato, Partner and Principal at Bluesphere Ventures. "Stem's ability to model real dispatch behavior based on actual operating assets gave us confidence that the results were realistic. That credibility matters when you're making investment decisions and designing an expanding portfolio." Eddie Soleymani, CEO of Bluesphere Ventures, added: "Stem’s impact went beyond modeling. They strengthened our investment thesis and supported critical strategic decisions. As we expand in the ConEd VDER market and beyond, having Stem as a commercial partner is invaluable.” Stem's Managed Services practice helps asset owners, developers, and investors evaluate and operate clean energy projects across the full project lifecycle. The practice draws on more than 1.5 GWh of operational runtime data and deep experience in complex markets like VDER, applying the same dispatch logic used in real-time operations to inform pre-investment decision-making. As distributed energy programs in New York and other markets grow in complexity, that combination of technical modeling and operational experience is increasingly what customers are looking for.

Stem and Nuvation Energy Enter into Agreement to Deliver North American-Made BESS Control SolutionApril 30, 2026 8:05 AM
Business Wire
Joint solution to combine Stem’s PowerTrack™ EMS Solution with Nuvation Energy’s BMS to help meet growing demand for secure, domestically sourced energy infrastructure


Stem, Inc. (NYSE: STEM), a global leader in AI-enabled clean energy software and services, today announced a co-marketing agreement with Nuvation Energy, a North American provider of battery management and energy control solutions, to jointly promote a fully North American-made battery energy storage system (BESS) control stack.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260430823753/en/Stem and Nuvation Energy provide an integrated control stack, from cloud software through edge controls to the BESS and power conversion system
The agreement brings together Stem’s PowerTrack Energy Management System (EMS) and Unit Controller with Nuvation’s Battery Management System (BMS), creating an integrated control layer designed to meet growing demand for secure, compliant, and domestically sourced energy infrastructure. PowerTrack EMS provides site-level scheduling, utility dispatch, grid coordination, and edge-to-cloud telemetry, while Nuvation’s BMS delivers cell-level monitoring, protection, and state-of-charge optimization. Together, they create a more integrated and intelligent battery energy storage solution and a North American-designed and manufactured control solution.


“Customers are asking for greater transparency, control and confidence in the technologies deployed across their energy assets,” said Matt Tappin, President of Software at Stem. “This collaboration will allow us to deliver a more integrated solution that directly addresses those priorities, while enhancing system performance, reliability of the system, and long-term value for our customers.”


As regulatory requirements tighten across the United States, including Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) restrictions, and growing state-level legislation, developers and asset owners are actively seeking alternatives to control architectures that rely on foreign-manufactured or controlled components.


In response, some manufacturers are taking shortcuts to meet compliance thresholds, relying on rebranded products or minimally modified designs rather than investing in genuine North American engineering. These approaches may satisfy certain regulatory requirements while leaving critical safety and cybersecurity standards unaddressed.


“For developers, utilities, and project owners who need to get ahead of tightening compliance requirements, this solution is built to meet both the letter and the spirit of the law. By combining Nuvation's battery management system with Stem's energy management platform, we are delivering a solution where the critical control electronics are North American designed and manufactured, a clear and credible alternative that is technically robust and commercially relevant,” said Michael Worry, CEO/CTO at Nuvation Energy.


Nuvation Energy has been developing BMS technology since 2008, with products deployed across commercial, industrial, and utility-scale energy storage projects. All Nuvation solutions are developed and manufactured in the United States and Canada by a fully North American-based team.


Under the agreement, Stem and Nuvation will collaborate on a coordinated go-to-market strategy that includes joint thought leadership, trade show participation, and the development of co-branded collateral. The companies will also align their sales efforts, working together on identified opportunities, enabling closer commercial coordination, while preserving independent commercial structures.


The integrated solution will undergo joint performance validation and testing prior to customer deployment. Stem will lead EMS and system integration, including controls and telemetry across the BESS and power conversion system, while Nuvation will provide the BMS hardware and interfaces required for seamless integration.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial and Operating Results


Financial Results


Fourth quarter 2025 revenue decreased 15% to $47.2 million, versus $55.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, as expected, due to significantly reduced battery hardware sales, attributable in part to the Company’s software-focused strategy introduced in 2024.


Full year 2025 revenue increased 8% to $156.3 million versus $144.6 million in full year 2024. Reported full year 2024 revenue reflects a $38.7 million reduction due to updated valuations in 2024 of certain contract guarantees for hardware revenue originally recorded in 2022 and 2023. Core revenue from software, services, and edge hardware was $141.4 million for full year 2025, up 25% from $113.2 million for the full year 2024.


Fourth quarter 2025 GAAP gross profit (loss) was $23.2 million, or 49%, versus $(2.5) million, or (4)%, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Full year 2025 GAAP gross profit (loss) was $60.0 million, or 38%, versus $(11.1) million, or (8)% for the full year 2024. The year-over-year increase in the fourth quarter and full year 2025 GAAP gross profit was due to increased higher-margin software, services, and edge hardware sales and significantly decreased lower-margin battery hardware sales.


Fourth quarter 2025 non-GAAP gross profit was $20.9 million, or 45%, versus $20.2 million, or 36%, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Full year 2025 non-GAAP gross profit was $72.3 million, or 46% versus full year 2024 non-GAAP gross profit of $63.7 million, or 35%. The increase in non-GAAP gross profit for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 was primarily due to increased higher-margin software, services, and edge hardware sales and decreased lower-margin battery hardware sales.


Fourth quarter 2025 net loss was $16.0 million versus fourth quarter 2024 net loss of $51.1 million. Full year 2025 net income was $137.8 million versus full year 2024 net loss of $854.0 million. The year-over-year change in net loss for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was primarily driven by a $220.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2025, $104.1 million of bad debt expense associated with impairment of receivables related to customer contracts that provided a parent company guarantee in the third quarter of 2024, and a one-time, $547.2 million impairment of goodwill reported during the second quarter of 2024.


Fourth quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $5.5 million, compared to $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $6.7 million compared to $(22.8) million in full year 2024. The year-over-year improvement in adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 was primarily driven by improved margins and significantly lower operating expenses resulting from ongoing cost reduction and profitability improvement initiatives.


The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2025 with $48.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $43.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter 2025.


Operating Results


Bookings were $32.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $37.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to fewer battery hardware bookings, as a result of the strategic de-emphasis of battery hardware resales. Software, services, and edge hardware bookings increased 6% year-over-year. Full year 2025 bookings of $131.8 million increased 14% versus full year 2024 bookings of $115.9 million driven by increased software, services, and edge hardware bookings.


Contracted backlog was $21.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, down 4% compared to $22.2 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2025 due to reduced battery hardware backlog, and up 2% versus $20.9 million as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.


CARR was $67.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 versus $70.1 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2025. CARR decreased sequentially due to lower managed services bookings and the cancellation of a managed services customer engagement representing approximately $3 million in CARR but was supported by increased PowerTrack software bookings.


Fourth quarter 2025 ARR increased 1% sequentially to $61.1 million at the end of the quarter from $60.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025. ARR sequentially increased due to a 5% increase in PowerTrack ARR to $40.7 million but was offset by the cancellation of a managed services customer contract representing $1 million in ARR.


Solar operating AUM increased 6% sequentially to 36.1 GW for the fourth quarter. Storage operating AUM decreased 6% sequentially to 1.7 GWh for the quarter due to the cancellation of a managed services customer contract representing 0.1 GWh in AUM.


The following table provides a summary of contracted backlog at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, and includes only hardware and non-recurring services contracts, compared to contracted backlog at the end of the third quarter of 2025 ($ millions):

Recent Highlights


On March 4, 2026, the Company announced that its PowerTrack™ Energy Management System (“EMS”) has been selected to support Everyray GmbH’s 90 MWh utility-scale battery energy storage system (“BESS”) in Kölsa, Germany, and a 10 MWh BESS in Elsterwerda, Germany. Together, the projects further expand Stem’s presence in the German market and reinforce PowerTrack’s role as the control system for sophisticated, utility-scale storage deployments across Europe. Commercial operations are expected to commence in summer 2026.


On December 9, 2025, the Company announced its partnership with a leading clean energy asset owner focused on distributed solar and storage projects to operate and optimize a portfolio of battery energy storage systems (BESS) serving a local water utility company in Southern California. The four-site portfolio, including one hybrid solar and storage system, supports the Southern California water treatment facilities by delivering cost savings, operational resilience, and participation in California’s Demand Response programs. Together with the asset owner, Stem is helping to ensure the continued success of these projects following the transition from a previous service provider, while enhancing performance, reliability, and revenue opportunities.


On December 3, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the size of the Board from seven to eight directors, and appointed Arun Narayanan, Stem’s Chief Executive Officer, to serve as a Class I Director, effective December 1, 2025.

See below for definitions.







Some Factors Affecting our Business and Operations


The Company is subject to risk and exposure from the evolving macroeconomic, regulatory, geopolitical and business environment, including uncertainty regarding the effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) on our business and that of our suppliers and customers, the effects of increased import tariffs and retaliatory trade policies, global inflationary pressures and interest rates, potential economic slowdowns or recessions, government shutdowns, and geopolitical pressures, including wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as tensions between China and the United States, and uncertainty around other current and future trade policies and other regulations. We regularly monitor and attempt to mitigate the direct and indirect effects of these circumstances on our business and financial results, although there is no guarantee of the extent to which we will be successful in these efforts.


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this earnings press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin.


We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and to evaluate our operating performance and prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of our operating performance, such as stock-based compensation and other non-cash charges, as well as discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors’ operating results, to the extent that competitors define these metrics in the same manner that we do. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because they (1) allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) are used by investors and analysts to help them analyze the health of our business. Our calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by other companies. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross profit and margin to their most comparable GAAP measures, see the section below entitled “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”


Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to Stem before depreciation and amortization, including amortization of internally developed software, interest expense, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and other income and expense items, including gain on the extinguishment of debt, reduction in revenue, excess supplier costs, change in fair value of derivative liability, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment of goodwill, contract termination payment, restructuring costs, (expected recovery of) impairment of accounts receivable related to customer contracts that provided parent company guarantees, impairment of inventory and other deferred costs, impairment of deferred costs with suppliers, and income tax provision or benefit. The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies exclude when calculating adjusted EBITDA.


We define non-GAAP gross profit (loss) as gross profit (loss) excluding amortization of capitalized software, impairments related to decommissioning of end-of-life systems, excess supplier costs, and reduction in revenue. Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit (loss) as a percentage of revenue.


In the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred costs of $1.0 million above initially agreed prices on the acquisition of certain hardware systems from one of our suppliers, which resulted from production delays by such supplier. Because we had not previously incurred costs above initially agreed upon prices with a hardware supplier, we excluded this item from adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP Gross Profit to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.


As previously disclosed, the Company entered into certain contractual guarantees in 2022 and 2023 pursuant to which, if a customer were unable to install or designate hardware to a specified project within a specified period of time, the Company would be required to assist the customer in re-marketing the hardware for resale by the customer. Such guarantees provided that, in such cases, if the customer resold the hardware for less than the amount initially sold to the customer, the Company would be required to compensate the customer for any shortfall in fair value for the hardware from the initial contract price. The Company accounted for specified contractual guarantees as variable consideration. As previously disclosed, the Company recorded a net revenue reduction of $38.7 million in hardware revenue during 2024, due to market conditions and revised negotiated valuations of assets under certain hardware price guarantees entered into in 2022 and 2023. Such reductions in revenue were related to deliveries that occurred prior to 2023. Additionally, the Company recorded a $104.1 million bad debt expense during the year ended December 31, 2024, as a result of an impairment of accounts receivable related to customer contracts that provided a parent company guarantee. The Company has not issued such guarantees since June 2023, does not intend to issue any new guarantees in the future, and does not expect further negative impact on its financial statements as a result of such guarantees.

Adjusted EBITDA, as used in the Company's full year 2026 guidance, is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability. The Company is unable to reconcile projected adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable effort, because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty its change in stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, revenue constraint and other items that may affect net loss. The unavailable information could have a significant effect on the Company’s full year 2026 GAAP financial results.








(1)






Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation and amortization expense, impairment loss of energy storage systems, and impairment loss of project assets.








(2)






Refer to the discussion of revenue reduction under “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above.








(3)






Other revenue adjustments refer to terminations and modifications of significant contracts with customers prior to their scheduled termination dates.








(4)






Refer to the discussion of excess supplier costs under “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above.








(5)






Contract termination payments and hardware deposit forfeitures with certain suppliers.








(6)






Refer to the discussion of write-offs relating to parent company guarantee related arrangements in “— Impairment and Accounts Receivable Write-Off” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025.








(7)






Impairment of inventory and other deferred costs represents charges to cost of goods to reduce the value of certain inventory items and deferred assets to their net realizable value.








(8)






Deposit forfeitures with certain hardware suppliers.








(9)






Impairment of DevCo project assets represent the excess of cost of goods over the sales transaction price for certain DevCo projects sold during the period.








(10)

Non-GAAP gross margin as used in the Company's full year 2026 guidance, is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability. The Company is unable to reconcile projected non-GAAP gross margin to GAAP gross margin, its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable efforts, because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty its change in amortization of capitalized software, impairments, and other items that may affect GAAP gross margin. The unavailable information could have a significant effect on the Company’s full year 2026 GAAP financial results.
