` 4 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Bloom urges you to review the reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. With respect to Bloom’s expectations regarding its 2022 Outlook, Bloom is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin measures to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts.

` 11 Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures (preliminary & unaudited) (in thousands) Gross Profit and Gross Margin to Gross Profit Excluding Stock-Based Compensation and Gross Margin Excluding Stock-Based Compensation Gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation (SBC) are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to gross profit or gross margin, as determined under GAAP. These measures remove the impact of stock-based compensation. We believe that gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation supplement the GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period- over-period. A reconciliation of gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation to gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and the computation of gross margin excluding stock-based compensation are as follows: Q421 Q321 Q420 FY21 FY20 Revenue 342,471 207,228 249,387 972,176 794,247 Gross profit 68,703 36,883 63,626 197,581 165,793 Gross margin % 20.1% 17.8% 25.5% 20.3% 20.9% Stock-based compensation - cost of revenue 4,062 2,945 3,664 13,811 17,475 Gross profit excluding SBC 72,765 39,828 67,290 211,392 183,268 Gross margin excluding SBC % 21.2% 19.2% 27.0% 21.7% 23.1% Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses to Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses Excluding Stock- Based Compensation Cost of revenue and operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation are a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to cost of revenue and operating expenses, as determined under GAAP. This measure removes the impact of stock-based compensation. We believe that cost of revenue and operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation supplements the GAAP measure and enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period.

A reconciliation of operating income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation to operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of operating income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation are as follows: Q421 Q321 Q420 FY21 FY20 Operating loss (13,505) (43,889) (4,518) (114,502) (80,785) Stock-based compensation 18,822 20,966 16,508 76,132 73,893 Operating Income (loss) excluding SBC 5,317 (22,923) 11,990 (38,370) (6,892) Q421 Q321 Q420 FY21 FY20 Operating expenses 82,208 80,772 68,144 312,083 246,578 Stock-based compensation - operating expenses 14,760 18,021 12,844 62,321 56,418 Operating expenses – excluding SBC 67,448 62,751 55,300 249,762 190,160
` 13 Net Loss to Adjusted Net Loss and Computation of Adjusted Net Loss per Share (EPS) Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net loss and net loss per share, as determined under GAAP. These measures remove the impact of the non-controlling interests associated with our legacy PPA entities, the revaluation of derivatives, fair market value adjustment for the PPA derivatives, the loss on termination of interest rate swaps related to PPA V debt that was extinguished, contingent consideration related to the BE Japan acquisition, and stock-based compensation, all of which are non-cash charges. We believe that adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share supplement GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over- period. A reconciliation of adjusted net loss to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted net loss per share are as follows: Q421 Q321 Q420 FY21 FY20 Net loss to Common Stockholders (33,323) (52,370) (27,138) (164,445) (157,553) Loss on extinguishment of debt — — — — 12,878 Loss for non-controlling interests1 (15,182) (4,292) (4,453) (28,924) (21,534) Loss (gain) on derivative liabilities2 13,356 184 1,737 15,000 (464) Loss (gain) on the fair value adjustments for certain PPA derivatives3 — (125) 140 (1,053) 110 Interest Rate Swap Settlement4 10,879 — — 10,879 — Contingent Consideration Remeasurement5 (3,623) — — (3,623) — Stock-based compensation 18,822 20,966 16,508 76,132 73,893 Adjusted Net Loss (9,071) (35,637) (13,206) (96,034) (92,670) Net loss to Common Stockholders per share $ (0.19) $ (0.30) $ (0.16) $ (0.95) $ (1.14) Adjusted net loss per share (EPS) $ (0.05) $ (0.20) $ (0.08) $ (0.55) $ (0.67) GAAP weighted average shares outstanding attributable to common, Basic and Diluted (thousands) 175,922 174,269 165,975 173,438 138,722 Adjusted weighted average shares outstanding attributable to common, Basic and Diluted (thousands)6 175,922 174,269 165,975 173,438 138,722 1.

` 14 Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to operating loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, non-controlling interest, revaluations, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business, excluding specifically identified items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is as follows: Q421 Q321 Q420 FY21 FY20 Net loss to Common Stockholders (33,323) (52,370) (27,138) (164,445) (157,553) Loss on extinguishment of debt — — — — 12,878 Loss for non-controlling interests1 (15,182) (4,292) (4,453) (28,924) (21,534) Loss (gain) on derivatives liabilities2 13,356 184 1,737 15,000 (464) Loss (gain) on the fair value adjustments for certain PPA derivatives3 — (125) 140 (1,053) 110 Interest Rate Swap Settlement4 10,879 — — 10,879 — Contingent Consideration Remeasurement5 (3,623) — — (3,623) — Stock-based compensation 18,822 20,966 16,508 76,132 73,893 Adjusted Net Loss (9,071) (35,637) (13,206) (96,034) (92,670) Depreciation & amortization 13,375 13,271 13,391 53,454 52,279 Provision (benefit) for income tax 451 158 (16) 1,046 256 Interest expense (income), Other expense (income), net 13,937 12,431 25,352 55,565 85,632 Adjusted EBITDA 18,692 (9,777) 25,521 14,031 45,497 1.
