Competitive implications for FLNC
We see this outlook as a double-edged sword for FLNC, specifically. While the company is fully contracted as
the offtaker for Fixx’s (formerly AESC) Tennessee cell plant and has secured additional cells from an unnamed
second supplier (we assume LG), continued growth of the core utility-scale market and burgeoning demand from
data centers will necessitate additional capacity sometime in the next ~12-24 months. Line 2 of Fixx’s TN plant
remains an option, as are LG, Samsung, and SK. In short, FLNC is set up well for supply in the near term with
several long-term options that can be secured as cell pricing catches up (we assume lower pricing given the
increased capacity). The competitive risk, in our view, is on the integration side more than the product side as
many of the new entrants are offering cells, containerized solutions, and full-wrap integration. This creates a
somewhat confusing dynamic as players like LG will both sell to, and compete with, integrators like FLNC. Ford
is also now in the mix as a direct competitor, but it’s unclear if they will be offering cell supply to others. TSLA is
also making their own cells and continues on the path towards full integration all the way through lithium
refining. For FLNC, this means more US competition and a gradual loss of the first-mover advantage in domestic
content qualifying products, but the playing field has also become more level with low-cost Chinese players
getting shut out. In short, while the competitive landscape is evolving, the demand outlook remains robust with
