(Ticker: STEM) 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024** Stem, Inc. reported a significant decline in total revenue, falling to $144.6 million from $461.5 million in 2023, primarily due to an 81% decrease in hardware sales, reflecting a strategic shift away from hardware resale to AI-enabled software and services. The company incurred a net loss of $854 million, exacerbated by a $547.2 million goodwill impairment. Operating expenses surged to $828.4 million, driven by restructuring costs and increased general and administrative expenses.

Despite these challenges, Stem's strategic partnerships and commitment to AI-driven solutions position it well for future growth in the renewable energy sector. The company anticipates continued losses through 2025, emphasizing the importance of its new operational focus.
