Working toward producing restated annual and quarterly filings, Plug Power (PLUG -5.26%) announced today that investors who are eagerly waiting for the company's first-quarter 2021 results will have to wait a little longer -- about a week. Management announced today that it will report the company's first quarterly earnings report of 2021 on May 17 as it works to finalize the restated filings.
Shareholders may be disappointed with the delay, but management announced that they may find it was worth the wait. Forecasting a record first-quarter performance, management announced it expects to report record gross billings (revenue before the removal of provisions for common stock warrants) of more than $70 million and $67 million in net revenue.

In addition to providing a peek behind the curtain of the company's Q1 2021 earnings report, management provided guidance for the second quarter: gross billings of more than $105 million, about 50% higher compared to the same period last year. Looking even further out, management reiterated its 2021 gross billings targets of $475 million, as well as $750 million and $1.7 billion for 2022 and 2024, respectively.
Speaking to the company's first quarter and more, Andy Marsh, Plug Power's CEO, said:
The fundamentals of our business remain robust with record first quarter gross billings. As evidenced by the continued advancement of our strategic pipeline, we remain firmly committed to executing on our mission to build out the hydrogen economy in North America and beyond. We continue to deliver state-of-the-art fuel cell and green hydrogen solutions to our customers, and remain confident in the growth trajectory of the business.
