Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Quarterly Report regarding our future financial performance, as well as our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. Any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, hopes, beliefs, intentions and strategies regarding future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Although we believe such expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are not guarantees of future performance and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur.

As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

•our financial and business performance, including risk of uncertainty in our financial projections and business metrics and any underlying assumptions thereunder;

•the suspension of trading of our common stock, and the commencement of delisting proceedings, on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and the commencement of trading of our common stock in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market;

•changes in our business and strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans;

•our ability to execute our business model, including market acceptance of our planned products and services and achieving sufficient production volumes at acceptable quality levels and prices;

•changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, legal conditions and applicable laws and regulations;

•our ability to grow market share in our existing markets or any new markets we may enter;

•our ability to achieve and maintain profitability in the future;

•our ability to access sources of capital to finance operations, growth and future capital requirements;

•our ability to maintain and enhance our products and brand, and to attract and retain customers;

•our ability to find new partners for product offerings;

•the success of strategic relationships with third parties;

•our ability to scale in a cost-effective manner;

•developments and projections relating to our competitors and industry;

•supply chain disruptions;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property (“IP”);

•the actions of stockholders and the related impact on the price of our common stock;

3

•expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended;

•our ability to find and retain critical employee talent and key personnel;

•our ability to successfully manage the transition process to a new executive team;

•the possibility that we may be adversely impacted by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors;

•future exchange and interest rates;

•the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings; and

•other risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our “Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2023, as supplemented by the risk factors disclosed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2023 and in this Quarterly Report, and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in other filings that have been made or will be made with the SEC by the Company.

Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Our SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

You should read this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity and performance as well as other events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

Background

Heliogen, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Heliogen” or the “Company”), is involved in the development and commercialization of next generation concentrated solar energy. We are developing a modular, artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled, concentrated solar energy plant that will use an array of mirrors to reflect sunlight and capture, concentrate, store and convert it into cost-effective energy on demand. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in our consolidated financial statements to “we,” “us,” or “our” and similar expressions refer to Heliogen.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair statement.

The results reported in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2023.

Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Such changes did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Reverse Stock Split

On August 31, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-35 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 35 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 31, 2023 was automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split were rounded down to the nearest whole share and cash payments were made to the stockholders. The reverse stock split had no impact on the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price. All share and per share information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.

Liquidity

The Company has evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the original issuance date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $50.8 million and $142.0 million, respectively. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses in the next few years.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had liquidity of $91.6 million, consisting of $63.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $28.2 million of investments, and no substantial debt. Management believes it has the ability to manage operating costs and capital expenditures such that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures for the next twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s long-term liquidity will depend on its ability to (i) successfully complete current projects within budget, (ii) raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, (iii) sign additional projects at a profit, (iv) obtain funding and receive payment for research and development (“R&D”) projects, (v) implement project cost reductions to reduce the expected cash outflows and (vi) manage operating costs. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving all or any of these items. If the Company is unsuccessful in achieving all or any of these items, the Company may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its R&D programs, product expansion or commercialization efforts, any of which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Company may be unable to continue operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and reasonable assumptions, actual results could differ materially from such estimates and assumptions.

Recent Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the second step of the previous two-step quantitative test of goodwill impairment. Under the new guidance, the quantitative test consists of a single step in which the carrying amount of the reporting unit is compared to its fair value. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the amount of the impairment would be limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance does not affect the existing option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine whether the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The new guidance will be effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Services Revenue

Project revenue consists of amounts recognized under contracts with customers for the development, construction and delivery of commercial-scale concentrated solar energy facilities. The Company’s recognized project revenue is associated with a commercial-scale demonstration agreement (“CSDA”) executed with Woodside Energy (USA) Inc. (“Woodside”) in March 2022.

Heliogen, Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Engineering services revenue consists of amounts recognized under contracts with customers for the provision of engineering, R&D, or other similar services in our field of expertise. Engineering service contracts can be short-term or span several years and we recognize revenue over time as customers receive and consume the benefit of such services.

Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 includes customers in the United States (“U.S.”) and Europe.

Grant Revenue

The Company’s grant revenue is primarily related to the Company’s award from the U.S. Department of Energy (the “DOE Award”) related to costs incurred during such periods that are reimbursable under the DOE Award.

Contract Loss Provisions (Adjustments)

As of September 30, 2023, the Company does not anticipate incurring additional costs associated with our projects in Germany. As a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a reduction in contract loss provision of $0.5 million and $0.1 million associated with our projects in Germany. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a total provision for contract losses of $33.7 million driven primarily by the CSDA. No provision for contract losses was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

We amortized $0.3 million and $1.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.3 million and $3.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, of the previously recognized contract loss provisions as a reduction to cost of services revenue incurred during the periods based on percentages of completion.

Performance Obligations

Revenue recognized under contracts with customers, which excludes amounts to be received from government grants, relates solely to the performance obligations satisfied during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 with no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $36.0 million of transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations from our customer contracts. Based on our current forecast, we expect to recognize approximately 82% as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder to be recognized thereafter through 2026.

Project Warrants

In connection with the concurrent execution of the CSDA with Woodside in March 2022, the Company issued warrants permitting Woodside to purchase 26,068 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share (the “Project Warrants”). The Project Warrants expire upon the earlier of a change in control of the Company or March 28, 2027 and vest pro rata with certain payments required to be made by the customer under the CSDA. The fair value of the Project Warrants upon issuance was $173.60 per warrant based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 28, 2022, less the exercise price. The Project Warrants are recorded as equity on the consolidated balance sheets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was recognized as additional paid-in capital related to the vesting of Project Warrants. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was recognized as additional paid-in capital related to the vesting of Project Warrants. As of September 30, 2023, vested Project Warrants were exercisable for 17,243 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Collaboration Warrants

In connection with the concurrent execution of a collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with Woodside in March 2022, the Company issued warrants permitting Woodside to purchase 104,275 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share (the “Collaboration Warrants”). Under the Collaboration Agreement, Woodside will assist us in defining product offerings that use our modular technology for potential customers in Australia. The Collaboration Warrants expire upon the earlier of a change in control of the Company or March 28, 2027. Of these warrants, (i) approximately half of the warrants vested immediately upon execution of the Collaboration Agreement, to purchase 52,138 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) the remaining warrants will vest based on certain specified performance goals under the Collaboration Agreement. The fair value of the Collaboration Warrants upon issuance was $173.60 per warrant based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 28, 2022, less the exercise price.

The Collaboration Warrants are recorded as equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the related expense is being recognized ratably as selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense over the estimated service period. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a prepaid expense of $5.8 million for the Collaboration Warrants, of which $2.0 million was classified as current and $3.8 million was classified as long-term. The Company recognized SG&A expense, related to the vesting of the Collaboration Warrants, of $0.5 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1.5 million and $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no sales of investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we realized losses of $0.2 million on the sale of investments, included in other income, net on our consolidated statements of operations related to $65.8 million in proceeds from the sale of investments.

There were no credit losses recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and no allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Note 5—Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following table by fair value measurement level:

$ in thousands	Level	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Assets:
Investments	1	$	28,236	$	97,504

Contingent consideration (2)	3	1,642		353

________________

(1)Included in warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

(2)Included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Private Warrants. The fair value of the Private Warrants approximates the fair value of the Public Warrants due to the existence of similar redemption provisions. As a result, the Company has determined that the fair value of the Private Warrants at a specific date would be similar to that of the Public Warrants, and thus their fair value is determined by using the closing price of the Public Warrants, which was $0.04 as of September 30, 2023.

Contingent Consideration. The contingent consideration was measured at fair value using a probability-weighted cash-flow method. The key inputs used in the valuation for the contingent consideration as of September 30, 2023 included the timing and probability of payment.

The following table summarizes the activities of our Level 3 fair value measurement:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Note 8—Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The Company had goodwill related to the acquisition of HelioHeat GmbH, a private limited liability company in Germany engaged in the development, planning and construction of renewable energy systems and components, including a novel solar receiver.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment driven by the sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization below the Company’s carrying value. Management concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying amount as of March 31, 2023. As a result, the Company fully impaired goodwill and recognized a $1.0 million charge during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company had no impairments of goodwill recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

ATM Agreement

On September 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with The Benchmark Company, LLC, as agent (“Benchmark”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock in an at-the-market offering program through or to Benchmark as its sales agent or principal (the “ATM Agreement”). The offer and sale of the Company’s common stock will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-271170) initially filed by the Company with the SEC on April 6, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on July 18, 2023, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated September 13, 2023 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the ATM Agreement, the Company will pay Benchmark an aggregate commission of up to 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds of any shares of the Company’s common stock sold under the ATM Agreement in an amount of up to $40.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, no shares of common stock were sold under the ATM Agreement.

The Company may not utilize the ATM Agreement while trading of its common stock is suspended or delisted from the NYSE. On November 7, 2023, the Company received a letter from the NYSE that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock from the NYSE, and trading of the Company’s common stock was immediately suspended. Refer to Note 16—Subsequent Events for additional information.

Stockholders Rights Plan

On April 16, 2023, the Company’s Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 28, 2023, and adopted a limited duration stockholder rights plan, effective immediately, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated as of April 16, 2023 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent. The Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group (an “acquiring person”) acquires or launches a tender or exchange offer to acquire beneficial ownership (which includes certain synthetic equity interests) of 12.5% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (20% for certain passive institutional investors as described in the Rights Agreement). Once the Rights become exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder (other than the acquiring person, whose rights will become void) to purchase for $122.50, subject to adjustment, additional shares of our common stock having a market value of twice such exercise price. In addition, the Rights Agreement has customary flip-over and exchange features. The Rights will expire on April 17, 2024 unless the rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. The Rights Agreement will reduce the likelihood that any entity, person or group gains control of Heliogen through open market accumulation without paying all stockholders an appropriate control premium or without providing our Board sufficient time to make informed judgments and take actions that are in the best interests of all stockholders.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Heliogen, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”), eligible employees may elect to purchase the Company’s common stock at the end of each offering period, which will generally be six months, at a 15% discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2023, 19,284 shares have been issued under the 2021 ESPP.

Note 13—Income Taxes

We calculate our quarterly tax provision pursuant to the guidelines in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires companies to estimate the annual effective tax rate for current year ordinary income. In calculating the effective tax rate, permanent differences between financial reporting and taxable income are factored into the calculation, and temporary differences are not. The estimated annual effective tax rate represents the Company’s estimate of the tax provision in relation to the best estimate of pre-tax ordinary income or loss. The estimated annual effective tax rate is then applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss to calculate the year-to-date interim tax provision. The relationship between our income tax provision or benefit and our pre-tax book income or loss can vary significantly from period to period considering, among other factors, the overall level of pre-tax book income or loss and changes in the blend of jurisdictional income or loss that is taxed at different rates and changes in valuation allowances. The income tax provision was $1 thousand and $3 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The income tax benefit of $46 thousand and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, is primarily attributable to our operations in Germany. Any income tax benefit associated with the pre-tax loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, resulting primarily from the U.S. jurisdiction, is offset by a full valuation allowance.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the analysis of federal and state deferred tax balances, future tax projections and availability of taxable income in the carryback period, we recorded a full valuation allowance against the federal and state deferred tax assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.

Heliogen, Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company is subject to the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the relevant taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized. If upon performance of an assessment pursuant to this subtopic, management determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist that do not meet the minimum threshold for recognition of the related tax benefit, a liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. We do not have material unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions.

Stockholder Matters

On November 7, 2023, the NYSE notified the Company that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock and Public Warrants from the NYSE. Trading in these securities was immediately suspended. The NYSE reached its decision to delist these securities pursuant to Section 802.01B because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $15 million. The Company intends to appeal the delisting determination. On November 8, 2023, the Company’s common stock and Public Warrants began trading on the OTC market.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in the fore-part in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (our “Quarterly Report”) and included in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our “Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023, as supplemented by the risk factors disclosed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2023 and in this Quarterly Report.

The following MD&A should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I Item 1 in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, included in our Annual Report.

Overview

Heliogen, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Heliogen,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a leader in next generation concentrated solar energy. We are developing a modular, AI-enabled, concentrated solar energy plant that will use an array of mirrors to reflect sunlight and capture, concentrate, store and convert it into cost-effective energy on demand. Our product offering will deliver industrial process steam around the clock using thermal energy storage based on proven technology. This steam can also be used to produce green hydrogen when coupled with a solid oxide electrolyzer. Our next generation system will have the ability to cost-effectively generate and store thermal energy at very high temperatures, which enables cost-effective production of electricity and higher temperature industrial process heat. The inclusion of a thermal energy storage system distinguishes our solution from clean energy provided by typical photovoltaic and wind installations which do not produce thermal energy and are only able to produce energy intermittently unless battery storage is added. The system will be configurable for several applications, including carbon-free industrial-grade heat and steam (for use in industrial processes), clean power (electricity), and generation of green hydrogen, based on a customer’s needs.

Recent Developments

Texas Steam Plant. In October 2023, we executed a land lease in Plains, Texas and initiated construction on a Heliogen steam plant in the Permian Basin. The plant is expected to achieve mechanical completion by the end of 2024. The plant will demonstrate the operation of our technology at a larger scale than our current R&D facility in Lancaster, California and will demonstrate the operation of our internally designed steam-generating receiver integrated with our heliostat field and control system. The plant will be operated daily allowing us to collect operational data in support of future commercial projects. Additionally, we are evaluating commercial opportunities associated with this plant.

Executed Cost Reduction Plan. In October 2023, we developed and executed on an $8 million annual operating cost reduction plan. This plan includes a reduction in force and a focus on costs while considering ongoing investment and operating needs.

Stockholder Matters. On November 7, 2023, we received a letter from the NYSE notifying us that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist our common stock and Public Warrants from the NYSE pursuant to Section 802.01B. Trading in these securities was immediately suspended. We intend to appeal the delisting determination. On November 8, 2023, our common stock and Public Warrants began trading on the OTC market. We intend to continue to comply with public company SEC regulations and other NYSE listing requirements, including filing quarterly financial statements, having independently audited financials, and maintaining an independent Board of Directors with corporate governance rules and oversight committees.

Results of Operations

Heliogen is undergoing a significant transition as it moves from design to testing and implementation of its innovative supercritical CO2 power generation system. In March 2022, we secured a contract to engineer and construct a 5 MWe commercial-scale concentrated solar energy facility with Woodside Energy (USA) Inc. (“Woodside”) in Mojave, California with a total transaction price of $45.5 million and received an award from the U.S. Department of Energy (the “DOE”) of $39.0 million (the “DOE Award”) to support the project, of which $3.9 million will be paid directly by the DOE to another party providing services under the DOE Award at our direction. We remain in the early stages of commercializing our technology and investing in research and development (“R&D”) and infrastructure necessary to achieve these goals. As a result, we have historically incurred operating losses. However, we remain focused on achieving sufficient scale and efficiency improvements through technological progress and additional learning to ultimately achieve profitability.

How We Generate Revenue

We primarily generate revenue by contracting with owner-operators to build turnkey facilities that deploy Heliogen’s technology. Our services revenue, which is derived from customer contracts, is primarily recognized over time using the incurred costs method for our contracts with customers that include projects under development and engineering and design services. Engineering service contracts can be short-term or span several years and we recognize revenue over time as customers receive and consume the benefit of such services. Additionally, we have government grants which are accounted for as grant revenue and are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with any conditions attached to the grant and the grant funds will be received.

Cost of Conducting Our Business

Cost of revenue consists primarily of direct material, labor and subcontractor costs related to our revenue contracts. Additionally, we have indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and allocated depreciation.

Revenue and Gross Profit (Loss)

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized total revenue of $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to total revenue of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in costs incurred related to the project to develop a commercial-scale facility for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, as a result of the scope of work and engineering services performed to support the front-end engineering design phase of the project during each respective period. As a result, we recognized a decrease in services revenue of $0.3 million related to the commercial-scale demonstration agreement (“CSDA”) with Woodside and a decrease in grant revenue of $0.6 million related to the reimbursable costs incurred under the DOE Award for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a gross profit of $0.4 million, a change of $0.7 million compared to gross loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The change was primarily driven by the recognition of a reduction in our contract loss provision of $0.5 million associated with our projects in Germany.

Total selling, general and administrative	$	14,997	$	18,268	$	(3,271)

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized SG&A expense of $15.0 million, a decrease of $3.3 million compared to SG&A expense of $18.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in share-based compensation as a result of no longer recognizing expense due to forfeitures and graded vesting schedules for awards issued prior to our business combination with Athena Technology Acquisition Corp. (“Athena”). The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $2.4 million in employee compensation primarily driven by headcount growth to support our commercial operations and increases in professional and consulting services of $2.0 million.

Research and Development

The following table summarizes R&D expenses:

	Three Months Ended

Total research and development	$	5,162	$	11,168	$	(6,006)

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized R&D expense of $5.2 million, a decrease of $6.0 million compared to R&D expense of $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction of $3.9 million in other R&D direct costs due to focusing our R&D efforts on select strategic priorities and a decrease of $2.2 million in share-based compensation expense. This was offset by an increase of $0.1 million in employee compensation primarily driven by headcount growth.

Warrant Remeasurement

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a gain of $0.1 million, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to a gain of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, related to the change in fair value of our outstanding Public and Private Warrants. The change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants are highly correlated to changes in our stock price.

Other Income, Net

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized other income of $0.8 million, a decrease of $0.5 million compared to other income of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The change is primarily attributable to a gain of $52 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of HelioHeat GmbH based on the revised probability of payment compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This change was partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in accretion given the rising interest rate environment for our investments in available-for-sale securities.

Revenue and Gross Loss

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized total revenue of $5.6 million, a decrease of $3.4 million compared to total revenue of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in costs incurred related to the project to develop a commercial-scale facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, as a result of the scope of work and engineering services performed to support the front-end engineering design phase of the project during each respective period. As a result, we recognized a decrease in services revenue of $1.5 million related to the CSDA with Woodside and a decrease in grant revenue of $1.9 million related to the reimbursable costs incurred under the DOE Award for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a gross loss of $0.2 million, a change of $34.9 million compared to gross loss of $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change was primarily driven by the recognition of a contract loss provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $33.7 million primarily related to the CSDA and a decrease of $0.9 million in share-based compensation expense attributable to employees working directly on the project.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized SG&A expense of $36.8 million, a decrease of $23.9 million compared to SG&A expense of $60.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in share-based compensation as a result of no longer recognizing expense due to forfeitures during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and a net reduction of $12.5 million during the first quarter of 2023, as a result of stock options forfeited in connection with the termination of our former Chief Executive Officer. The remaining decrease in share-based compensation expense was a result of an expected reduction in expense over time due to graded vesting schedules for awards issued prior to our business combination with Athena. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $7.2 million in employee compensation primarily driven by headcount growth to support our commercial operations and increases in professional and consulting services of $4.8 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized R&D expense of $15.4 million, a decrease of $11.1 million compared to R&D expense of $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was driven by a reduction of $10.5 million in other R&D direct costs due to focusing our R&D efforts on select strategic priorities, a decrease of $3.6 million in share-based compensation expense and was offset by an increase of $3.1 million in employee compensation primarily driven by headcount growth.

Impairment Charges

During the first quarter of 2023, we fully impaired goodwill, resulting in a $1.0 million impairment charge due to a sustained decrease in our market capitalization. We had no impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Refer to Note 8—Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information.

Warrant Remeasurement

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a gain of $0.3 million, a decrease of $12.4 million compared to a gain of $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, related to the change in fair value of our outstanding Public and Private Warrants. The change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants are highly correlated to changes in our stock price.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and investments on hand, which are short-term in duration and highly liquid, and cash receipts from customers and government grants. Our principal uses of cash are expenditures related to project development and completion, as well as R&D and SG&A expenditures in support of our technology development and operational support and growth efforts.

Total liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments are as follows:

$ in thousands	November 9, 2023		September 30, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	55,088	$	63,386
Investments	28,227		28,236
Total liquidity	$	83,315	$	91,622

We have evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the original issuance date of our unaudited consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $50.8 million and $142.0 million, respectively. We expect to continue to generate operating losses in the next few years.

Our liquidity as of November 9, 2023 was $83.3 million, compared to $91.6 million as of September 30, 2023. The decrease in our liquidity is due to funding our operations and continued work on our projects. We believe we have the ability to manage our operating costs and capital expenditures such that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures for the next twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report.

Our long-term liquidity will depend on our ability to (i) successfully complete current projects within budget, (ii) raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, (iii) sign additional projects at a profit, (iv) obtain funding and receive payment for R&D projects, (v) implement project cost reductions to reduce the expected cash outflows and (vi) manage operating costs. There is no assurance that we will be successful in achieving all or any of these items. If we are unsuccessful in achieving all or any of these items, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our R&D programs, product expansion or commercialization efforts, any of which could adversely affect our business prospects, or we may be unable to continue operations.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following table provides a summary of our cash flows:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
$ in thousands	2023		2022
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(54,922)	$	(49,545)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	70,598		(104,182)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	1,336		(255)

Net Cash from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $54.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $49.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $5.4 million increase in the net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by higher operating costs related to the growth of our operations and costs incurred related to our projects.

Net Cash from Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $70.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $104.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received net proceeds from the maturities of available-for-sale securities of $71.7 million to fund our operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net cash invested in available-for-sale securities of $96.9 million as we invested the funds received in 2021 from the closing of the business combination with Athena and capital expenditures of $7.3 million in construction in progress to support the ramp-up of commercial operations, machinery, equipment and improvements for our new Long Beach manufacturing facility, and office and computer equipment to support our headcount growth.

Net Cash from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change was primarily driven by $1.3 million of other financing costs paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in connection with the business combination with Athena.

Cash Requirements

Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations consist of our long-term operating leases, which are primarily for real estate. Refer to Note 12—Leases to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report, for additional information regarding maturity analysis of our operating leases.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to our discussion of critical accounting estimates from those set forth in our Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, and as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company had a change in the executive team and on February 5, 2023, our Chief Accounting Officer was appointed to Interim Chief Financial Officer. In July 2023, the Company hired a Chief Financial Officer and the previous Interim Chief Financial Officer continued to serve as our Chief Accounting Officer. Other than in connection with changes in personnel and executing upon the implementation of the remediation measures described in our Annual Report and the associated changes to our internal control over financial reporting, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information relating to various commitments and contingencies is described in Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report, as supplemented by the risk factor previously disclosed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2023 other than as set forth below.

Our common stock and public warrants have been suspended from trading on, and may be delisted from, the NYSE and are not listed on any other national securities exchange.

On November 7, 2023, we received a letter from the staff of NYSE Regulation notifying us that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist our common stock and public warrants. Trading in these securities was immediately suspended. The NYSE Regulation reached its decision to delist these securities pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because we had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $15 million. We intend to appeal the NYSE’s determination to delist our common stock and public warrants, but unless our appeal is ultimately successful, our common stock and public warrants will be delisted after the completion of the NYSE’s application to the SEC.

Should our securities be delisted from the NYSE, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to, re-list our common stock or the public warrants on a national securities exchange or that there will be an active market for these securities on the OTC market. Moreover, without an active trading market, the market price of our securities may be extremely volatile and not reflective of the market price that would be seen on a more active trading market. For so long as our common stock is suspended from trading on the NYSE, which suspension will become permanent if our common stock is ultimately delisted from the NYSE, we and our stockholders could face significant negative consequences including:

•limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

•a reduction in the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which would negatively impact our ability to access equity markets and obtain financing;

•a determination that the common stock is a “penny stock” which would require brokers trading in the common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of common stock;

•a limited amount of analyst coverage;

•a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and

•an impairment of our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

On November 8, 2023, our common stock and public warrants began trading on OTC market under the symbols HLGN and HLGNW, respectively.
