![]() ![]() Auditor Deloitte highlighted in the company’s FY19 financial statements that EOS “has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.” Many of these battery systems were installed under pilot programs to test EOS’ technology.ĮOS has shown little commercial success, and if not for the merger, was unlikely to survive for more than a few months without raising additional capital. Behind EOS’ announcements of huge contracts are companies unlikely to honour their obligationsĮOS was clearly struggling before the SPAC merger, having sold just ten battery systems to customers since 2008, representing a total of 3 MWh (the modest equivalent of 13 Tesla Powerpacks). The SPAC stock price is up 174% since its listing with a market capitalization of $1.42b as of 13 January 2021. II, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), on 17 November 2020. EOS promises investors that revenue will hit at least US$995m revenue by then.ĮOS was listed after its reverse merger with B. It is targeting the US, for which EOS plans to capture between 8.7% and 14.9% of the market by 2024. The management of EOS believes the energy storage market will represent a ~US$42bn global opportunity by 2025. EOS’ batteries are non-flammable, easily recyclable, do not require rare earths or conflict materials, and would be cheaper than lithium-ion technology. These batteries are used to balance the variable output of wind and solar farms.ĮOS claims its zinc battery technology addresses the limitations of conventional lithium technology, which represents 99% of the US energy storage market. Given its failed technology and dubious clients, we estimate that EOS’ equity is worth only $144m (net asset estimate) which represents a 90% downside from its current market cap of $1.5bn.įounded in 2008 and headquartered in Edison, New Jersey, Nasdaq-listed EOS Energy Enterprises Inc (fka EOS Energy Storage LLC) designs and manufactures battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) for electrical grids.EOS will face an uphill battle against lithium-ion batteries - the dominant battery storage technology - which commands a 99% market share and their mass production has significantly lowered costs.The zinc-based batteries designed by EOS have a major technological flaw: lower round trip efficiency compared to conventional lithium-ion technology, a key reason behind the lacklustre adoption among potential customers. The company’s zinc battery technology has never taken off despite its long history of technological pilots.Our findings show the disclosed customers are extremely unlikely to have the financial ability to honour their contracts. ![]() Miraculously, EOS reported an incredible surge in its order book (1,000 times its current battery deployment) before the SPAC.EOS was only able to generate $35k revenue in the first nine months of 2020.
