The Headline
Bloom just printed their best quarter ever, $519 million in revenue, up 57% year-over-year and crushing the Street’s $426 million estimate by 22%. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.15 versus the $0.10 consensus, and here’s the real story: they turned GAAP operating profitable for the first time in recent memory. Stock’s up 20% after hours to $136.27, which puts the year-to-date gain somewhere north of 900%.
Four consecutive quarters of record revenue. Positive operating cash flow. The Brookfield deal actually converting into real revenue. On paper, this looks like the inflection point bulls have been waiting for since the company went public.
Q3 2025 Performance Snapshot
Revenue Breakdown: Where the Growth Came From
Product revenue absolutely ripped $384 million, up 64% year-over-year. That’s 74% of total revenue and reflects actual fuel cell deployments accelerating, not just PowerPoint presentations and MOUs. Installation revenue did even better at +105% to $66 million, which tells you projects are moving from backlog to implementation faster than expected.
Service revenue grew 15% to $59 million and hit double-digit non-GAAP margins for the second straight quarter. That’s the recurring revenue piece everyone forgets about when they get excited about product sales. With 1.5 GW deployed across 1,200+ sites, this segment should keep compounding as the installed base scales.
Here’s the part that matters: sequential acceleration. Q2 revenue was $401 million. Q3 jumped to $519 million. That’s 29% quarter-over-quarter growth, which doesn’t happen by accident in industrial manufacturing.
Margins: Finally Getting Leverage
Non-GAAP gross margin hit 30.4%, up from 25.2% a year ago and 28.2% last quarter. That’s real operating leverage kicking in, four straight quarters of margin expansion as manufacturing scales and product mix improves. GAAP gross margin of 29.2% means this isn’t just stock comp games.
Operating margin told the same story. Non-GAAP operating income jumped 470% year-over-year to $46 million (8.9% margin), up from just $8 million last year. More importantly, they posted $7.8 million in GAAP operating income versus a $9.7 million loss in Q3 2024. First time they’ve crossed into positive GAAP operating territory in years.
EBITDA came in at $59 million, more than double the $21 million from Q3 2024. The business model is working at scale, that’s the takeaway.
