It relates the energy of a particle to it's mass. So, if you were to convert 1kg of material into pure energy, the energy you would get out would be calculated using E = mc2.

However, this is just the simplified version for a particle that isn't moving. If the particle is moving with a momentum p, then the full formula is used: E2 = p2c2 + m2c4.
