FuelCell Energy, Inc.:
Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FuelCell Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company)
as of October 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in
equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 31, 2021, and the related notes
(collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial
reporting as of October 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of October 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended October 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of October 31, 2021 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for
leases as of November 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 842, Leases.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the
Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained
in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
87 and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts
or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on
the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below,
providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Estimated costs at completion for certain service agreements
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's service agreements represent a single
performance obligation whereby the Company performs all required maintenance and monitoring functions, including
replacement of modules, to ensure the power platforms under the service agreement generate a minimum power
output. The consideration for each service agreement is recognized over time using costs incurred to date relative to
total estimated costs at completion to measure progress.
We identified the evaluation of total estimated costs at completion for certain service agreements as a critical audit
matter. Specifically, evaluating the Company's total estimated costs at completion required complex auditor
judgement to assess the estimated number of fuel cell modules to be replaced during the term of the agreements and
their associated costs. These areas involved the application of significant estimation by management and contained
significant measurement uncertainty.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design
and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company's process to develop total
estimated costs at completion for service agreements. This included a control related to the estimated number of fuel
cell modules to be replaced during the term of the agreement and their associated costs. For certain service agreements,
we evaluated the estimated number of fuel cell modules to be replaced and their associated costs by:
•
.
comparing the estimated number of fuel cell modules to be replaced to the replacement plan developed and
maintained by the Company's service department
comparing the total estimated costs to manufacture fuel cell modules to historical actual costs
comparing current period total estimated costs at completion to previous total estimated costs at completion and
assessing the cause of certain revisions
assessing the number of fuel cell module replacements that will occur during the contract term using the useful
life of fuel cell modules.
