Stem, Inc. announced a 27 percent workforce reduction aimed at saving 30 million dollars annually, with 24 million expected in 2025. This move is part of a broader reorganization into four new business units: Software, Professional Services, Managed Services, and OEM Hardware. Each unit is now financially accountable for its performance.
The company is shifting focus toward software and AI integration, pausing development on PowerBidder Pro and Asset Performance Management in favor of PowerTrack. Revenue grew 27 percent year-over-year, and the company reported its first positive operating cash flow of 9 million dollars. Gross margins reached record highs: 32 percent GAAP and 46 percent non-GAAP.
Analysts raised concerns over macroeconomic factors, tariffs, and project backlogs, but management remains confident in meeting 2025 financial targets. Strategic focus is on expanding software revenue, especially in international and smaller utility markets. Two new board members were added for their energy sector expertise. Despite risks, Stem emphasized profitability, efficiency, and a growing recurring revenue base.
