1. Nature of Operations
Plug Power Inc. (the “Company,” “Plug,” “we” or “our”) is facilitating the paradigm shift to an increasingly electrified world by innovating cutting-edge hydrogen and fuel cell solutions. While we continue to develop commercially viable hydrogen and fuel cell product solutions, we have expanded our offerings to support a variety of commercial operations that can be powered with clean hydrogen. We provide electrolyzers that allow customers — such as refineries, producers of chemicals, steel, fertilizer and commercial refueling stations — to generate hydrogen on-site. We are focusing our efforts on (a) industrial mobility applications, including electric forklifts and electric industrial vehicles, at multi shift high volume manufacturing and high throughput distribution sites where we believe our products and services provide a unique combination of productivity, flexibility, and environmental benefits; and (b) production of hydrogen. Plug expects to support these products and customers with an ecosystem of vertically integrated products that produce, transport, store and handle, dispense, and use hydrogen for mobility and power applications.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has continued to experience negative cash flows from operations and net losses. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $
The future use of our available liquidity will be based upon the ongoing review of the funding needs of our businesses, the optimal allocation of our resources, and the timing of cash flow generation. To the extent that we desire to access alternative sources of capital, market conditions could adversely impact our ability to do so at that time and at terms favorable to the Company.
The Company has an “at-the-market” equity offering program with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell through or to B. Riley, as sales agent or principal, shares of the Company’s common stock, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $

The Company believes that its working capital, cash position and restricted cash to be released over the next 12 months, together with other key assumptions, support the Company’s conclusion that it has sufficient capital to fund its on-going operations for a period of at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Key assumptions are based on factors such as forecasted sales and costs, amortization requirements of the Company’s finance obligations, the Company’s right to direct B. Riley and Yorkville to purchase shares from the Company under the “at-the-market” equity offering program, the Company’s right to direct Yorkville to purchase shares from the Company under the SEPA, the Company’s ability to access sufficient shares by implementing a reverse stock split, which was approved by its stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on July 3, 2025, and the Company’s ability to access additional debt pursuant to the Secured Debenture Purchase Agreement with Yorkville.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, we include our share of the results of our joint ventures with Renault SAS (“Renault”) named HyVia SAS (“HyVia”), a French société par actions simplifiée (prior period only), Acciona Generación Renovable, S.A. in Spain, named AccionaPlug S.L., and SK Innovation Co., Ltd, successor in interest to SK E&S Co., Ltd. in South Korea, named SK Plug Hyverse, and our investment in Clean H2 Infra Fund using the equity method based on our economic ownership interest and our ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of HyVia, AccionaPlug S.L., SK Plug Hyverse and Clean H2 Infra Fund. Additionally, we consolidated the results of our joint venture with Niloco Hydrogen Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Olin Corporation (“Olin”), named Hidrogenii.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all

adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
The information presented in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s 2024 audited consolidated financial statements.
Impairment
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of these assets is assessed by comparing the carrying value of such assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.
As disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K, if circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In making these determinations, the Company uses certain assumptions, including, but not limited to: (i) estimated fair value of the assets; and (ii) estimated, undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by these assets, which are based on additional assumptions such as asset utilization, length of service, the asset will be used in the Company’s operations, and (iii) estimated residual values. Fair value is determined using various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
During 2025, events and circumstances indicated that long-lived assets for certain asset groups were impaired. As a result, management continues to closely monitor the results of the Company’s asset groups including the status of hydrogen projects in development and related sources of funding (for example, the Company’s loan program with the Department of Energy), recent trends in our business, and our liquidity, in addition to operational initiatives and macroeconomic conditions that may affect the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets. As such, the current performance of the Company’s operations introduces an elevated risk for impairment for our long-lived assets. If the Company does not achieve anticipated improvements in cash flows, additional impairment charges could be required in future periods which could be material to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
There have been no significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows resulting from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements.
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective
In July 2025, Accounting Standards Update 2025-05 (“ASU 2025-05”), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, was issued to address challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This standard introduces a practical expedient for entities that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. This standard is effective for annual periods, including interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2025 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2025-05 and is still evaluating the impact of the adoption on its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, Accounting Standards Update 2025-04 (“ASU 2025-04”), Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer, was issued to reduce diversity in practice and improve the decision usefulness and operability of the guidance for share-based consideration payable to a customer in conjunction with selling goods or services. This standard is effective for annual periods, including interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods,

beginning after December 15, 2026 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2025-04 and is still evaluating the impact of the adoption on its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other than the accounting standards mentioned above and in our 2024 Form 10-K, all issued but not yet effective accounting and reporting standards as of September 30, 2025 are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common stock are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Since the Company is in a net loss position, all common stock equivalents would be considered anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the determination of diluted earnings per share. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had potentially dilutive securities outstanding, consisting of stock options, restricted stock units, warrants and other equity instruments, representing shares of common stock totaling

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company performed an evaluation of one of its equity method investments due to a decline in market conditions and determined that an other-than-temporary impairment existed. The Company determined that its ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value resulted in an other-than-temporary impairment. The estimated fair value was based largely on the future cash flows expected to be generated by the investment using unobservable data points.
As a result, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $

7. Fair Value Measurements
The Company records the fair value of assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.
In addition to defining fair value, ASC 820 expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
15
Table of Contents
These levels are:
| ● | Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| ● | Level 3 — unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability at fair value. |
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include equity method investments that have not been remeasured or impaired in the current period, such as our investments in AccionaPlug S.L. and Clean H2 Infra Fund. For the one equity method investment that was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 6, “Investments,” for further information.

Contract balances
Contract assets primarily relate to contracts for which revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis; however, billings escalate over the life of a contract. Contract assets also include amounts recognized as revenue in advance of billings to customers, which are dependent upon the satisfaction of another performance obligation. These amounts are included in contract assets on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The deferred revenue and other contract liabilities relate to the advance consideration received from customers for services that will be recognized over time (primarily fuel cell and related infrastructure services and electrolyzer systems and solutions). Deferred revenue and other contract liabilities also include advance consideration received from customers prior to delivery of products. These amounts are included within deferred revenue and other contract liabilities on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes permanent extensions of certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifies various federal clean energy tax provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) and includes the allowance of immediate expensing of qualifying research and development expenses incurred in the United States. The most significant impacts of the OBBBA to the Company are related to Section 45V Credit for Production of Clean Hydrogen, which will be available for clean hydrogen facilities beginning construction before January 1, 2028 and the Section 48E Investment Tax Credit which provides for a 30% investment tax credit for “qualified fuel cell property” from 2026 to 2032. As of September 30, 2025, the impact was not material to the Company's income tax expense.

Litigation
Legal matters are handled in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of any such matters, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain; therefore, assessing the likelihood of loss and any estimated damages is difficult and subject to considerable judgment. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. While we are not in a position to accurately predict the outcome of any legal or other proceedings, where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, GAAP requires us to disclose an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, if material, or make a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. A reasonably possible loss or range of loss associated with any individual legal proceeding cannot be currently estimated.
Securities Litigation and Related Stockholder Derivative Litigation
2023 Securities Action and Related Derivative Litigation
A consolidated action is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware asserting claims under the federal securities laws against the Company and certain of its senior officers on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of the Company’s securities, styled In re Plug Power, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 1:23-cv-00576-MN (the “2023 Securities Action”). The plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on September 28, 2023, in which they assert claims under the federal securities laws against the Company and four of its senior officers, Mr. Marsh, Mr. Middleton, Sanjay Shrestha, and former officer David Mindnich, on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between January 19, 2022 and March 1, 2023. The complaint alleges that the defendants made “materially false and/or misleading statements” about the Company’s business and operations, including the Company’s revenue goals for 2022, its ability to effectively manage its supply chain and product manufacturing, and its progress in construction of new hydrogen production capacity. On February 4, 2025, the Court issued an opinion and order dismissing the consolidated complaint, with leave to replead. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 25, 2025, in which they no longer name Mr. Mindnich, but otherwise substantially release the previous claims. The Company and the other defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss on April 30, 2025 and briefing was completed on July 23, 2025.
Beginning on September 13, 2023, three separate actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting claims derivatively, on behalf of
29
Table of Contents
the Company, against certain former and current Company officers and directors based on the allegations and claims in the 2023 Securities Action. Those cases have been consolidated in the District of Delaware under the caption In re Plug Power, Inc. Stockholder Deriv. Litig., No. 1:23-cv-01007-MN (D. Del.). The defendants named in the constituent complaint were Mr. Marsh, Mr. Middleton, Mr. Mindnich, Martin Hull, Ms. Helmer, Mr. Kenausis, Mr. McNamee, Mr. Schneider, Mr. Silver, Mr. Willis, and current or former directors Jean Bua, Kavita Mahtani, and Kyungyeol Song. In an order entered on April 26, 2024, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation to stay all proceedings until motions to dismiss have been resolved in the 2023 Securities Action.
2024 Securities Litigation
On March 22, 2024, Ete Adote filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York asserting claims under the federal securities laws against the Company, Mr. Marsh, and Mr. Middleton, on behalf of an alleged class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between May 9, 2023 and January 16, 2024, styled Adote v. Plug Power, Inc. et al., No. 1:24-cv-00406-MAD-DJS (N.D.N.Y.). The complaint alleges that the defendants made misstatements concerning the Company’s progress in construction of new hydrogen production capacity and its ability to effectively manage its supply chain. On April 30, 2024, a second complaint asserting substantially similar claims against the same defendants, but on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between March 1, 2023 and January 16, 2024, was filed in the Northern District of New York, styled Lee v. Plug Power, et al., No. 1:24;cv-0598-MAD-DJS (N.D.N.Y.). The Court has approved stipulations in both actions extending the time for all defendants to respond to any pleading until after the Court appoints lead plaintiff(s). Appeals from an order appointing lead plaintiffs were denied on July 11, 2025. Pursuant to a briefing schedule entered by the Court, lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on August 25, 2025, and all defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint on October 29, 2025.
Other Litigation
On October 23, 2024, a case entitled First Solar, Inc. v. Plug Power Inc., Index No. 655610/2024 was filed in the New York State Supreme Court, New York County, asserting a claim for breach of contract associated with a purchase order for solar panels manufactured by First Solar to be purchased by the Company. The complaint seeks monetary relief along with pre-judgment interest.
Guarantee
On May 30, 2023, HyVia entered into a government grant agreement with Bpifrance. During the third quarter of 2025, a court determined that the Company was no longer liable for the guarantee. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company released the liability related to this guarantee.
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
The Company has entered into certain off–balance sheet commitments that require the future purchase of goods or services (“unconditional purchase obligations”). The Company’s unconditional purchase obligations primarily consist of supplier arrangements and take or pay contracts. For certain vendors, the Company’s unconditional obligation to purchase a minimum quantity of raw materials at an agreed upon price is fixed and determinable while certain other raw material costs will vary due to product forecasting and future economic conditions.

17. Segment Reporting
Our organization is managed from a sales perspective based on “go-to-market” sales channels, emphasizing shared learning across end-user applications and common supplier/vendor relationships. These sales channels are structured to serve a range of customers for our products and services. As a result of this structure, we concluded that we have
The information regularly provided to the CODM used to assess performance and allocate resources is the same as the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The measure of segment profit or loss used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and how to allocate resources is consolidated net loss which is presented in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. The CODM uses net loss in strategic planning, for example, decision making of whether to allocate resources towards strengthening sales channels, investing in research and development, focusing on cost-down initiatives, and/or analyzing Company overhead in respect to specific products and service lines. Net loss is also used to monitor budget versus actual results and is considered in assessments related to company-wide incentive compensation. The significant segment expenses included within the segment measure of profit or loss are total costs of revenue, research and development expense, selling, general and administrative expense, and impairment expense. Other segment items are comprised of restructuring, change in fair value of contingent consideration, interest income, interest expense, other income/(expense), net, loss on extinguishment of convertible debt instruments and debt, change in fair value of convertible debenture, change in fair value of debt, loss on equity method investments, income tax (expense)/benefit and net loss attributable to non-controlling interest, which are presented in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. The CODM is not regularly provided a measure of segment assets.

In March 2025, the Company announced initiatives to reduce its workforce, realign its manufacturing footprint and streamline its organization to enhance operational efficiency and improve overall liquidity (the “2025 Restructuring Plan”). We began executing the 2025 Restructuring Plan in March 2025 and expect the 2025 Restructuring Plan to be substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to local law and consultation requirements.
In February 2024, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”). The 2024 Restructuring Plan included strategic moves to enhance our financial performance and ensure long-term value creation in a competitive market. We began executing the 2024 Restructuring Plan in February 2024 and it was effectively completed during the fourth quarter of 2024.

On an ongoing basis, we are contractually obligated to certain operational funding. We consolidated

21. Subsequent Events
Non-binding Letter of Intent Related to Electricity Rights
On November 7, 2025, the Company signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “non-binding LOI”) to monetize its electricity rights in New York and one other location and collaborate with a U.S. data center developer. Monetizing electricity rights would generate improvement in liquidity through a combination of sale of construction in progress assets and release of restricted cash. In connection with this, the Company will suspend activities related to the Department of Energy loan program. While we have entered into the non-binding LOI, there is no assurance that the monetizing of the electrical rights in New York and other location will be completed on the terms contained in the non-binding LOI or otherwise.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the following discussion contain statements that are not historical facts and are considered forward-looking within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position or state other forward-looking information. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “project” or the negative of such words or other similar words or phrases. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control and that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on forward-looking statements because they involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to:
| ● | the risk that we continue to incur losses and might never achieve or maintain profitability; |
| ● | the risk that we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and such capital may not be available to us, or if received, may not be available to us on favorable terms; |
| ● | the risk that we may not be able to expand our business or manage our future growth effectively; |
| ● | our ability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting; |
| ● | the risk that delays in or not completing our product development and hydrogen plant construction goals may adversely affect our revenue and profitability; |
| ● | the risk that we may not be able to obtain from our hydrogen suppliers a sufficient supply of hydrogen at competitive prices or the risk that we may not be able to produce hydrogen internally at competitive prices; |
| ● | our ability to achieve the forecasted revenue and costs on the sale of our products; |
| ● | the risk that we may not be able to convert all of our estimated future revenue into revenue and cash flows; |
| ● | the risk that purchase orders may not ship, be commissioned or installed and/or converted to revenue, in whole or in part; |
| ● | the risk that some or all of the recorded intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment could be subject to impairment; |
| ● | the anticipated benefits and actual savings and costs resulting from the implementation of cost-reduction measures that include workforce reductions and limits on discretionary spending, inventory and capital expenditures; |
| ● | the risks associated with global economic uncertainty, including the current U.S. government shut down, inflationary pressures, fluctuating interest rates, currency fluctuations, and supply chain disruptions; |
| ● | the risk of elimination, reduction of, or changes in qualifying criteria for government subsidies and economic incentives for alternative energy products, or the nonrenewal of such subsidies and incentives; |
| ● | the risk that the Department of Energy loan may be delayed, or that we may not be able to satisfy all of the technical, legal, environmental or financial conditions acceptable to the Department of Energy to receive the loan; |
| ● | the risks, liabilities, and costs related to environmental, health, and safety matters; |
| ● | the risk that our lack of extensive experience in manufacturing and marketing of certain of our products may impact our ability to manufacture and market said products on a profitable and large-scale commercial basis; |
| ● | the risk that a sale or issuance of a significant number of shares of stock could depress the market price of our common stock; |
| ● | the risk of dilution to our stockholders and/or impact to our stock price should we need to raise additional capital; |
| ● | the risk that negative publicity related to our business or stock could result in a negative impact on our stock value and profitability; |
| ● | our ability to leverage, attract and retain key personnel; |
| ● | the risk related to increased scrutiny and changing expectations from regulators, investors, and others regarding our environmental, social and governance practices and reporting, including those related to workplace diversity, equity and inclusion; |

Overview
Plug is facilitating the paradigm shift to an increasingly electrified world by innovating cutting-edge hydrogen and fuel cell solutions.
While we continue to develop commercially viable hydrogen and fuel cell product solutions, we have expanded our offerings to support a variety of commercial operations that can be powered with clean hydrogen. We provide electrolyzers that allow customers — such as refineries, producers of chemicals, steel, fertilizer and commercial refueling stations — to generate hydrogen on-site. We are focusing our efforts on (a) industrial mobility applications, including electric forklifts and electric industrial vehicles, at multi-shift high volume manufacturing and high throughput distribution sites where we believe our products and services provide a unique combination of productivity, flexibility, and environmental benefits; and (b) production of hydrogen. Plug expects to support these products and customers with an ecosystem of vertically integrated products that produce, transport, store and handle, dispense, and use hydrogen for mobility and power applications.
Our current product and service portfolio includes:
GenDrive: GenDrive is our hydrogen fueled PEM fuel cell system, providing power to material handling EVs, including Class 1, 2, 3 and 6 electric forklifts, automated guided vehicles, and ground support equipment.
GenSure: GenSure is our stationary fuel cell solution providing scalable, modular PEM fuel cell power to support applications on both a small and large power scale. For smaller applications, Plug’s Low Power GenSure supports backup and grid-support application of the telecommunications, transportation, and utility sectors. Our High Power GenSure product line supports large scale stationary power, EV charging infrastructure, and data center markets.
GenFuel: GenFuel is our liquid hydrogen fueling, delivery, generation, storage, and dispensing system.
GenCare: GenCare is our ongoing “Internet of Things”-based maintenance and on-site service program for GenDrive fuel cell systems, GenSure fuel cell systems and GenFuel hydrogen storage and dispensing products.
GenKey: GenKey is our vertically integrated “turn-key” solution combining either GenDrive or GenSure fuel cell power with GenFuel fuel and GenCare aftermarket service, offering complete simplicity to customers transitioning to fuel cell power.
GenEco Electrolyzers: The design and implementation of 5MW and 10MW electrolyzer systems that are modular, scalable hydrogen generators optimized for clean hydrogen production. Electrolyzers generate hydrogen from water using electricity and a special membrane and “green” hydrogen is generated by using renewable energy inputs, such as solar or wind power.
Liquefaction Systems: Plug’s 15 ton-per-day and 30 ton-per-day liquefiers are engineered for high efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility — providing consistent liquid hydrogen to customers. This design increases plant reliability and availability while minimizing parasitic losses like heat leak and seal gas losses.
Cryogenic Equipment: Engineered equipment including trailers and mobile storage equipment for the distribution of liquified hydrogen, oxygen, argon, nitrogen and other cryogenic gases.
Liquid Hydrogen: Liquid hydrogen provides an efficient fuel alternative to fossil-based energy. We produce liquid hydrogen through our electrolyzer systems and liquefaction systems. Liquid hydrogen supply will be used by customers in material handling operations, fuel cell electric vehicle fleets, and stationary power applications.

We provide our products and solutions worldwide through our direct sales force, and by leveraging relationships with original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their dealer networks. Plug is currently targeting Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East and North America for expansion in adoption. The European Union has rolled out ambitious targets for the hydrogen economy, with the United Kingdom also taking steps in this direction, and Plug is seeking to execute on our strategy to become one of the European leaders in the hydrogen economy. This includes a targeted account strategy for material handling, securing strategic partnerships with European OEMs, energy companies, utility leaders and accelerating our electrolyzer business.
Currently, we manufacture and/or assemble our products at our manufacturing facilities in Rochester, New York; Slingerlands, New York; Houston, Texas; and Lafayette, Indiana; and have an expanded customer service center in Dayton, Ohio. In addition, we have hydrogen production plants in Charleston, Tennessee; Kingsland, Georgia; and St. Gabriel, Louisiana.
Results of Operations
Our primary sources of revenue are from sales of equipment, related infrastructure and other, services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure, power purchase agreements, and fuel delivered to customers and related equipment. A certain portion of our sales result from acquisitions in legacy markets, which we are working to transition to renewable solutions. Revenue from sales of equipment, related infrastructure and other represents sales of our GenDrive units, GenSure stationary backup power units, cryogenic delivery and storage, hydrogen liquefaction systems, electrolyzers and hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Revenue from services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure represents revenue earned on our service and maintenance contracts and sales of spare parts. Revenue from power purchase agreements primarily represent payments received from customers who make monthly payments to access the Company’s GenKey solution. Revenue associated with fuel delivered to customers and related equipment represents the sale of hydrogen to customers that has been purchased by the Company from a third party or generated at our hydrogen production plants.
Provision for Common Stock Warrants
On August 24, 2022, the Company issued to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon (“Amazon”), a warrant (the “Amazon Warrant”) to acquire up to 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain vesting events described below under “Common Stock Transactions – Amazon Transaction Agreement in 2022.”
In 2017, in separate transactions, the Company issued a warrant to each of Amazon and Walmart to purchase up to 55,286,696 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain vesting events described below under “Common Stock Transactions – Amazon Transaction Agreement in 2017” and “Common Stock Transactions – Walmart Transaction Agreement.” The Company recorded a portion of the estimated fair value of the warrants as a reduction of revenue based upon the projected number of shares of common stock expected to vest under the warrants, the proportion of purchases by Amazon, Walmart and their affiliates within the period relative to the aggregate purchase levels required for vesting of the respective warrants, and the then-current fair value of the warrants.

Table of Contents
$14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The losses during the first three quarters of 2025 were driven by the difference between the carrying amount of the 6.00% Convertible Debenture and principal settled in cash and premium costs on the 6.00% Convertible Debenture principal settled in cash. The losses during the first half of 2024 were driven by the exchange of $138.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for $140.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes.
Change in fair value of convertible debenture.

The Company recorded $0.1 million of income tax expense and $0.1 million of income tax benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company has not changed its overall conclusion with respect to the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in the U.S., which remain fully reserved. With the exception of a few service entities mainly in Europe, all domestic and foreign deferred tax assets are offset by a full valuation allowance because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of income tax expense.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law.

Operating Activities
The net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $387.2 million and $597.4 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities as well as a decrease in cash used by deferred revenue and other contract liabilities. Those changes were partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable and an increase in cash used by contract assets and payments of operating lease liabilities.
Investing Activities
The net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $117.7 million and $358.5 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in purchases of property, plant and equipment as well as a decrease in contributions to equity method investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Financing Activities
The net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $313.1 million and $779.2 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in proceeds from public and private offerings and an increase in principal payments on convertible debentures, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from debt issuance.
The Company has continued to experience negative cash flows from operations and net losses. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $363.5 million and $211.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The future use of our available liquidity will be based upon the ongoing review of the funding needs of our businesses, the optimal allocation of our resources, and the timing of cash flow generation. To the extent that we desire to access alternative sources of capital, market conditions could adversely impact our ability to do so at that time and at terms favorable to the Company.

Key assumptions are based on factors such as forecasted sales and costs, amortization requirements of the Company’s finance obligations, the Company’s right to direct B. Riley and Yorkville to purchase shares from the Company under the “at-the-market” equity offering program, the Company’s right to direct Yorkville to purchase shares from the Company under the SEPA, the Company’s ability to access sufficient shares by

Impairment
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of these assets is assessed by comparing the carrying value of such assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.
As disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K, if circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In making these determinations, the Company uses certain assumptions, including, but not limited to: (i) estimated fair value of the assets; and (ii) estimated, undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by these assets, which are based on additional assumptions such as asset utilization, length of service, the asset will be used in the Company’s operations, and (iii) estimated residual values. Fair value is determined using various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
During 2025, events and circumstances indicated that long-lived assets for certain asset groups were impaired. As a result, management continues to closely monitor the results of the Company’s asset groups including the status of
55

hydrogen projects in development and related sources of funding (for example, the Company’s loan program with the Department of Energy), recent trends in our business, and our liquidity, in addition to operational initiatives and macroeconomic conditions that may affect the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets. As such, the current performance of the Company’s operations introduces an elevated risk for impairment for our long-lived assets. If the Company does not achieve anticipated improvements in cash flows, additional impairment charges could be required in future periods which could be material to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Guarantee
On May 30, 2023, HyVia entered into a government grant agreement with Bpifrance. During the third quarter of 2025, a court determined that the Company was no longer liable for the guarantee.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations
The Company has entered into certain off–balance sheet commitments that require the future purchase of goods or services (“unconditional purchase obligations”). The Company’s unconditional purchase obligations primarily consist of supplier arrangements and take or pay contracts. For certain vendors, the Company’s unconditional obligation to purchase a minimum quantity of raw materials at an agreed upon price is fixed and determinable while certain other raw material costs will vary due to product forecasting and future economic conditions.
Future payments under non-cancellable unconditional purchase obligations with a remaining term in excess of one year as of September 30, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Estimates
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, valuation of inventories and intangible assets, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of equity method investments, accrual for service loss contracts, operating and finance leases, allowance for credit losses, unbilled revenue, common stock warrants, stock-based compensation, income taxes, and contingencies. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about (1) the carrying values of assets and liabilities and (2) the amount of revenue and expenses realized that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no changes in our critical accounting estimates from those reported in our 2024 Form 10-K.

In July 2025, Accounting Standards Update 2025-05 (“ASU 2025-05”), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, was issued to address challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This standard introduces a practical expedient for entities that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. This standard is effective for annual periods, including interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2025 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2025-05 and is still evaluating the impact of the adoption on its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Except as otherwise noted, there have been no material developments in legal proceedings. For previously reported information about legal proceedings, refer to Note 23, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Item 1A – Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors that could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results discussed in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors.” The risks described in the 2024 Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 are not the only risks that could affect the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results in the future. As a supplement to the risk factors identified in the 2024 Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, below we have set forth an updated risk factor. Other than as provided below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors identified in the 2024 Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Our decision to temporarily suspend activities related to the DOE loan program could adversely affect our access to low-cost capital, delay project execution, and expose us to potential termination or modification of the DOE loan guarantee.
On January 16, 2025, the DOE agreed to arrange a multi-draw term-loan facility to finance the development, construction, and ownership of up to six green-hydrogen production facilities. Our ability to receive advances under the DOE loan remains subject to technical, legal, environmental, and financial conditions and achievement of specific milestones, which may not be achieved when anticipated or at all.
In November 2025, we elected to temporarily suspend activities related to the DOE loan program while we evaluate our optimal reallocation of capital, including projects previously contemplated in New York and Texas. This suspension, although intended to align capital allocation with higher-return opportunities, could cause the DOE to delay, reduce, or withdraw future funding commitments if it determines that project-development conditions are no longer being met or that milestones must be re-established. The DOE loan guarantee contains conditions precedent, milestones, and ongoing covenants that may be impacted by changes in project scope or timing. There can be no assurance that the DOE will consent to modified development plans, or that the loan guarantee will remain available under the same terms following a suspension of activity.
If the DOE determines that we are not meeting required conditions or project milestones, the agency could terminate its loan guarantee commitment. Any such action could limit our ability to finance future hydrogen-generation or infrastructure projects on comparable terms, increase our cost of capital, or cause delays in the development of projects. In addition, suspension of the DOE loan program could be viewed unfavorably by other counterparties, lenders, or strategic partners and could adversely affect our reputation or perceived creditworthiness. While we believe that reallocating capital toward higher-return initiatives represents a prudent financial and strategic decision, these actions may also result in foregone benefits associated with the DOE program, including favorable interest rates and long-term governmental support for hydrogen infrastructure, and our financial condition, liquidity, and ability to execute our growth strategy could be adversely affected.
