Brenmiller Energy CEO Provides Update On Milestones Powering Progress
Dear Brenmiller Energy Investors,
I want to take a moment to share meaningful updates from across our Company-developments that reflect both execution in the present and strategic positioning for the future.
Most notably, that the European Hydrogen Bank has granted SolWinHy Cádiz S.L. (the 'SolWinHy Project') in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, €25 million in funding. SolWinHy is a special purpose company jointly owned by leading renewable energy developers Green Enesys Group ('Green Enesys') and Viridi RE ('Viridi') to build new green hydrogen and green e-methanol projects in Europe. Green Enesys and Viridi are Brenmiller's joint venture partners in Brenmiller Europe S.L. ('Brenmiller Europe'). We estimate our supply of the bGen™ TES system for the SolWinHy Project to be approximately €7 million. We believe that our involvement with the SolWinHy Project reinforces the strength of our bGen™ technology and our role in enabling renewable fuel production at scale. It's a major milestone and a testament to the commercial scale of our thermal energy storage solutions.
Looking ahead, we're also preparing to accrue the next milestone in our project with Tempo Beverages Ltd. ('Tempo') in July 2025. This project represents a powerful application of our bGen™ system, delivering behind-the-meter energy savings in a commercial manufacturing environment. We believe the market will recognize the value of this milestone-not just for what it proves technically, but for what it unlocks strategically.
Beyond this, we're seeing a new opportunity emerge that could define the next phase of our growth: nuclear energy as the solution for AI and data centers that are expected to create a surge in energy demand.
At the end of May, CNBC reported that some countries in Europe are beginning to re-embrace nuclear power as a means of boosting energy independence and decarbonizing at scale. Denmark is even rethinking its 40-year nuclear ban. This shift creates a unique opening for our technology. Nuclear reactors, while reliable for baseload generation, lack the flexibility to meet dynamic grid demands-precisely the gap our thermal storage was designed to fill. The U.S. is following suit. New executive orders from the Trump Administration have fast-tracked small modular reactors (SMRs) and aim to significantly reform the U.S. nuclear industry.
That conviction was echoed again just days ago when Meta signed a 20-year agreement with Constellation Energy to purchase 1.1 gigawatts of nuclear power from the Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois. Without Meta's commitment, the plant faced premature closure. Now, not only will the site remain operational, it will expand.
This is more than a high-profile energy deal, we believe that it is an indication that nuclear power is being called upon to fuel the next generation of computing and AI infrastructure-but it can't do it alone. It needs flexibility. It needs storage. It needs solutions like ours.
We believe that our TES technology is uniquely suited to complement nuclear by enabling load-following capabilities, balancing output, and enhancing overall grid responsiveness. As the demand curve changes and data center operators push for 24/7 clean energy with real-time control, we believe our technology becomes not just valuable-but essential.
Further, we believe our system, as configured for ENEL at its combined cycle power plant in Santa Barbara, Italy, is already a near-perfect fit for this application, positioning Brenmiller to be part of this nuclear resurgence.
We also recognize the broader market environment remains volatile, especially for small-cap companies. We're taking action accordingly: tightening costs, streamlining operations across our subsidiaries, and staying focused on efficiency. These moves aren't just defensive-they're strategic steps to strengthen our core and prepare for scalable growth.
In parallel, we're actively exploring near-term opportunities to enhance value creation-this includes unlocking potential licensing revenues with our IP portfolio.
To those of you who've stayed with us: thank you. Your continued trust fuels our determination. We're executing with clarity and focus-and the momentum building behind clean hydrogen, flexible nuclear applications, and on-site industrial energy savings only adds to our conviction.
Sincerely,
Avi Brenmiller, CEO

J.B. Hunt still waiting for market to turn
J.B. Hunt Transport Services remains focused on improving its freight profile and removing costs as it awaits a positive inflection in demand. The Lowell, Arkansas-based company reported earnings per share of $1.31 for the second quarter, which was largely in line with analysts' expectations and flat year over year. Consolidated revenue of $2.93 billion was also flat y/y and in line with the consensus estimate. Operating income slid 4% to $197 million but margins have largely stabilized across its various business units. The multimodal transportation provider has identified $100M in cost takeouts, which include a variety of efficiency and asset utilization improvement initiatives. Some of the reductions will be realized this year with the bulk occurring next year. J.B. Hunt's (NASDAQ: JBHT) intermodal revenue increased 2% y/y to $1.44 billion as loads increased 6% and revenue per load fell 3%. A 15% jump in loads originating in the East weighed on the yield metric given a shorter length of haul. Transcontinental loads were down 1% in the quarter. By month, loads were up 11% y/y in April, 3% in May and 4% in June. By comparison, total intermodal traffic on the U.S. Class I railroads was up 2% y/y (container-only traffic was up 3%) during the quarter, according to the Association of American Railroads. The choppiness in load trends during the quarter was largely due to changing customer behaviors in reaction to the trade war. Some of J.B. Hunt's customers have pulled freight shipments forward while others have not. Other customers have changed where they source their goods, away from countries that are likely to see punitive tariffs from the U.S. The changes in customer demand pushed J.B. Hunt to pull forward its peak season surcharge programs this year. During the recent intermodal bid season, the company captured positive rate increases for the first time in two years. However, positive pricing in head haul lanes, was partially offset by pricing weakness in back haul lanes. While management was hopeful for bigger rate increases, it said the modest increases it received along with a reduction in its cost profile has allowed it to stabilize margins in the unit. The unit's operating ratio (inverse of operating margin) deteriorated 40 basis points y/y to 93.3%. The result was 30 bps better than the first quarter. Dedicated revenue dipped less than 1% y/y to $847 million as a 3% decline in average trucks in service was largely offset by a 3% increase in revenue per truck per week (up 5% excluding fuel surcharges). The company sold service on 275 trucks during the quarter, all of which was offset by customer attrition. It said planned account closures covering 85 trucks spilled into July, which positively impacted the period. The delays, however, could impact a prior expectation for y/y operating income growth in the unit this year. J.B. Hunt reiterated a longer-term goal for net growth of 800 to 1,000 units annually. It expects to return to net fleet growth in the back half of this year. The unit's OR was 30 bps worse y/y at 88.9%. The second quarter marked 10 straight operating losses for the brokerage unit. The segment booked a $3.6 million loss in the period, nearly $10 million better y/y but $1 million worse than the first quarter. Revenue declined 4% y/y to $260 million as a 9% decline in loads was partially offset by a 6% increase in revenue per load. May saw some market tightening due to an annual safety blitz known as Roadcheck. That led to compressed margins during the month as purchased transportation expenses increased around the event. However, margins improved in June as spot rates softened. Recent account awards in the unit carried low- to mid-single-digit rate increases. A portion of the consolidated cost reduction plan is tied to cost takeouts in the brokerage unit. Head count was down 21% y/y (nearly level with the first quarter at 560 employees). Loads per employee in the unit grew 15% y/y and gross profit per employee was up 27% y/y. Shares of JBHT were off 1.1% in after-hours trading on Tuesday following a 2.2% decline during the full-day session.
