Plug
Reports Revenue of ~$178 Million, ~Break-Even Gross Margin, Net Cash Usage of ~$61 Million and Increases Revenue Guidance for 2026
SLINGERLANDS,
N.Y., Aug. 10, 2026 – Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen
economy, today reported second quarter 2026 results. As compared to the prior year and prior quarter, the Company delivered higher revenue,
significant gross margin expansion, substantially lower operating expenses, and lower net cash usage. This was coupled with ongoing disciplined
capital management and continued commercial execution across its core businesses.
"Our
second quarter results demonstrate that Plug is executing its transformation into a stronger, more efficient and profitable company,"
said Jose Luis Crespo, Chief Executive Officer of Plug Power. "We delivered revenue growth, improved gross margins, reduced operating
expenses, strengthened liquidity, and advanced major commercial milestones across our core businesses. We continue to expand our installed
material handling base, which also builds our recurring revenues through equipment replacements, service, and hydrogen fuel. Our electrolyzer
pipeline continues to expand, and we see an increasing conversion rate. Given the historically second-half-weighted cadence of our business
and the strength of our commercial backlog, we are raising our full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to a range of 15% to 16%. We believe
we are on track to achieve our positive EBITDAS target in the fourth quarter of 2026."
Key
Second Quarter Highlights
Second
quarter results reflect continued execution of Plug's strategy to improve profitability while continuing to grow our revenue streams
across our core businesses in material handling, hydrogen production, and electrolyzers.
| · | Gross
margin improved to ~breakeven compared to ~(31%) in the prior-year period and ~(13%) in the
first quarter of 2026. Equally important, this demonstrates that our breakeven threshold
continues to lower as we improve margins. |
| · | Operating
expenses declined ~50% year over year to ~$62 million, representing continued execution of
cost discipline coupled with our ongoing focus on asset monetization. |
| · | Net
revenue was ~$178 million, which reflects quarterly growth sequentially of ~9%. |
| · | GAAP
EPS was $(0.14) compared to prior year of $(0.20). |
| · | Adjusted
EPS was ($0.07) compared to prior year adjusted EPS of ($0.18) (see the reconciliation in
the attached financial tables). |
Commercial &
Operational Execution
Plug
continued translating its commercial pipeline into executed projects while expanding its global hydrogen platform.
Material
Handling
Plug's
material handling business continues to demonstrate strong commercial momentum, supported by an expanding installed base and increasing
recurring revenue.
Quarter
Highlights
| · | Deployed
1,666 GenDrive fuel cell units in the quarter, more than doubling deployments of 739 units
in Q2 2025 (up 125% year over year). |
| · | Two
of Plug's largest material handling customers are planning to refresh more than 20,000 GenDrive
units over the next three years, creating a significant recurring revenue opportunity as
customers upgrade to Plug's newest generation fuel cell technology. |
| · | Service
revenue grew 82% year over year to ~$30 million, demonstrating the increasing value of Plug's
expanding installed base and growing recurring aftermarket revenue. |
| · | Service
margin was 27% positive for the quarter. The Company has seen continued improvement in unit
performance driven from increased reliability and in turn this is enabling the Company to
increase units per service tech profiles, which drives improved overhead leverage. |
GenEco
Electrolyzers
Plug
continued converting its commercial pipeline into executable projects, demonstrating increasing customer confidence in large-scale PEM
electrolyzer deployments.
Quarter
Highlights
| · | We
announced the FID of the 30 MW Barrow Green Hydrogen project for Carlton Power in the UK.
This is part of the 55 MW awarded in November 2025. We expect the additional 25 MW to
reach FID in 2026. |
| · | We
announced the selection for the 275 MW GenEco FEED scope on Hy2gen's Courant Project in Québec. |
| · | On
July 7, 2026 we announced that Plug secured a 50 MW GenEco electrolyzer order following
Final Investment Decision for Orica's Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub, Australia's largest renewable
hydrogen project to reach FID which builds on the commercial momentum in Q2. |
| · | Advanced
execution on major deployments, with the 100 MW GALP project in Portugal and the 25 MW Iberdrola
and BP project in Spain continuing to progress through commissioning activities. |
Hydrogen
Production
Plug
continued strengthening its vertically integrated hydrogen platform, supporting growing customer demand while improving production efficiency
and expanding recurring fuel revenue.
Quarter
Highlights
| · | Fuel
revenue increased ~15% year over year to ~$39 million, reflecting continued growth in hydrogen
consumption across Plug's expanding customer base. |
| · | Fuel
gross margin improved to ~(48%) from ~(91%) in the prior-year quarter, reflecting improved
plant utilization, production efficiency, and hydrogen network optimization. |
Balance
Sheet & Liquidity
Plug
continued strengthening its liquidity position with improvements in margin, continued focus on reducing capex, increasing leverage on
working capital, and progressing on its asset monetization initiatives.
Quarter
Highlights
| · | Unrestricted
cash was ~$162 million at quarter end, with net cash usage improving to ~$61 million for
the quarter, down ~58% sequentially. |
| · | Subsequent
to quarter end, Plug announced transactions expected to generate $80 million of near-term
liquidity through the sale of the Graham, Texas project and the staged closing of the New
York Gateway project. Over July and August to date, ~$47 million has been received
given a release of associated escrowed funds and the sale of certain power assets. This brings
the total since inception of this effort of funds collected to ~$52 million. These collective
transactions further advance the effort to unlock the $275 million total target for this
asset monetization and non-dilutive financing initiative. |
Outlook
For
the balance of 2026, Plug remains focused on:
| · | Growing
and converting its sales pipeline to achieve an updated full-year 2026 revenue growth target
of 15% to 16% and position 2027 for continued growth. |
| · | Improving
margins and maintaining cost discipline to achieve positive EBITDAS target in Q4 2026. |
| · | Strengthening
liquidity through additional non-dilutive financing initiatives, including unlocking the
incremental proceeds for the $275 million total target through our data center asset monetization
initiatives. |
Plug
believes long-term hydrogen demand continues to be supported by energy security, industrial decarbonization, and accelerating global
power demand. Combined with continued execution across its core businesses, the Company believes it is increasingly well positioned to
deliver sustainable profitable growth and long-term shareholder value.

Explanatory Notes on Use of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement
the Company’s unaudited financial data presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, management has used
adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Plug Power Inc., which are non-GAAP performance-based measures. These non-GAAP
measures are among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the Company’s financial performance as well as for forecasting
future periods. Management establishes performance targets, annual budgets and makes operating decisions based in part upon these metrics.
Accordingly, disclosure of these non-GAAP measures provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the
Company’s economic performance year over year. In addition, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures improve understanding
of comparable information from past reports of financial results.
Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Plug Power
Inc. should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as
an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share attributable
to Plug Power Inc. is defined as the basic and diluted attributable to Plug Power Inc. adjusted for, when applicable, impairment, restructuring
and supplier contract modifications, transaction fees related to investment tax credit, change in fair value of contingent consideration,
losses on extinguishment and changes in fair value of convertible debt instruments, finance obligations and warrant liabilities, net,
of the estimated tax effect of these adjustments and any anticipated tax valuation adjustments. The adjustments made to the basic and
diluted earnings per share have no income tax effect in light of the Company’s full valuation allowance recorded on their deferred
tax assets. While management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there
are limitations associated with the use of these measures. The measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company’s
non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and
should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
In addition, the Company’s EBITDAS-positive target for Q4 2026 is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure that cannot
be reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), without unreasonable effort. The Company defines EBITDAS
as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation, amortization and share-based expense. This is because the Company is not able to
forecast with reasonable accuracy certain items required for such reconciliation, including interest expense associated with financial
arrangements, income taxes, and other non-cash or infrequent charges. These items are inherently uncertain, depend on future events outside
of management’s control, and could materially affect the Company’s GAAP results. The Company provides this target to give
investors insight into the direction of its operational objectives rather than as a prediction of GAAP earnings.
