FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Plug Power Reports Q4 and Full Year 2025 Results
with Strong Sales Growth and Margin Expansion
Achieved Positive
4th Quarter 2025 Gross Margin
Setting the Stage
for 2026 Financial Targets
Slingerlands, NY – March 2, 2026
– Plug Power Inc., a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen economy, today announced financial results
and operational milestones for the 4th quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and outlined strategic priorities for 2026
and beyond.
2025 Goals in Review
| | ü | Achieved
Over $700 million in revenue |
| | ü | Achieved
positive gross margin for Q4 2025 |
| | ü | Established
strong liquidity platform to fund 2026 |
| | ü | Positioned
Company to achieve the EBITDAS Q4 2026 goal |
This past year marked a pivotal commercial inflection
point for Plug. Over the last year, through Project Quantum Leap, Plug has taken decisive steps to improve margins and cash flows, including
operations optimization, workforce streamlining, facilities consolidation, pricing increases on certain offerings, working capital reduction,
and reprioritizing investments.
In addition to collective improvement efforts
over the last two years, the Company has launched multiple follow-on actions to continue reducing cost and improving cash flows and margins
in 2026 to accelerate the Company’s path to profitability. As Plug continues to drive innovation and expansion in the hydrogen
economy, the Company remains focused on strengthening its financial foundation and executing its profitable growth strategy with discipline
and efficiency.
Operational and Financial Highlights
| | · | Revenues:
Full year 2025, revenue increased 12.9% year-over-year at ~$710 million, with 4th
quarter 2025 revenue totaling $225.2 million. This marks a 17.6% growth over 4th
quarter 2024 and increased 27.2% from 3rd quarter 2025. This revenue improvement
was driven by higher equipment sales volumes and continued commercial momentum across core
markets. |
| | · | Gross
Margin: In the 4th quarter 2025, the Company reported $5.5 million in positive
gross profit, 2.4% of sales compared to gross margin loss of -122.5% of sales in the 4th
quarter 2024. This improvement was driven primarily by increased sales volume, favorable
mix, increased pricing, enhancements in the fuel network, reduced service cost-per-unit,
and manufacturing efficiency gains under the Company’s Project Quantum Leap initiative.
Given the improvements over the last year, we believe we have now achieved sustainable operational
profitability in the material handling services offering. This marks a significant milestone. |
| | · | Liquidity
Planning: The Company announced an agreement expected to generate over $275 million through
asset monetization, supporting major U.S. data center build-out and strengthening near-term
liquidity and infrastructure utilization. This includes three separate transactions, the
first of which was signed in February 2026, and is targeted to close within the next
six weeks. The other two transactions are targeted to close within the first half of 2026.
In addition, during the 4th quarter 2025 the Company restructured its debt which
reduces future interest expenses, enhances future debt capital optionality, and improves
near-term liquidity given extended maturities. |
| | · | Cash
Management: The Company ended 2025 with $368.5 million in unrestricted cash. Net cash
used in operating activities was $535.8 million for the full year 2025, compared to $728.6
million for the full year 2024. This reflects a reduction of over 26.5% year-over-year. Continued
improvements planned in 2026, coupled with reduced capex requirements, position for the Company
to achieve another substantial reduction in cash burn in 2026 consistent with the last two
years. The continued improvements in cash flows, the beginning cash position, and planned
proceeds from the data center asset sale collectively position the Company to fund operations
through 2026. |
| | · | Asset
Impairment and Other Charges: Plug recorded ~$763 million in various net charges in the
4th quarter of 2025 predominantly associated with non-cash charges for varied
asset impairments and capital transactions. These charges stem from strategic shifts in its
business operations and the continued Project Quantum Leap initiative, as outlined above.
As a result of the impairment charges recorded, it will reduce associated future depreciation
and amortization. In addition, similar to the data center project sale, these impaired assets
represent opportunities for the Company to monetize and extract significant value as the
market opportunities evolve. In addition, in association with the varied capital transactions
undertaken in the 4th quarter 2025, the Company recorded certain non-cash charges. |
| | · | Earnings-per-Share
(EPS): For the 4th quarter 2025, GAAP EPS was ($0.63) compared to GAAP EPS
of ($1.48) for Q4 2024. Excluding the charges described above, the adjusted EPS for the quarter
was ($0.06) versus adjusted EPS of ($0.29) for Q4 2024 that excludes similar charges. A reconciliation
of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is provided below. |
Commercial Business Update
In 2025, Plug continued to execute its commercial
growth strategy. Building on this momentum, the Company expects continued growth across material handling, GenEco electrolyzers, cryogenic
equipment, and hydrogen fuel. Plug has established strong platforms for expansion in 2026, with greater scale potential in 2027 and beyond.
Material Handling Solutions
| | · | Performance
improved during the period, supported by Investment Tax Credit dynamics, increased customer
demand, and improved service execution. |
| | · | The
Company saw new deployments and fleet refresh programs at key customer sites, with increased
activity across both new and repeat accounts. |
| | · | In
the fourth quarter of 2025, Plug expanded its GenDrive and GenFuel solutions with Floor and
Decor, deploying hydrogen-powered units supported by on-site liquid hydrogen storage and
dispensing infrastructure at its Frederickson, Washington distribution center. |
GenEco Electrolyzer Solutions
| | · | Delivered
a record $187 million revenue year for electrolyzers in 2025, and have an approximate $8
billion global sales funnel. |
| | · | During
the year, Plug advanced engineering, configuration, and project planning milestones with
Allied Green Ammonia across large-scale green hydrogen and derivatives projects tied to potential
multi-gigawatt deployments. |
| | · | The
Company was selected by Carlton Power to supply and service 55 megawatts of GenEco electrolyzers
across three UK green hydrogen projects. |
| | · | Plug
completed installation of 100 megawatts of GenEco PEM electrolyzer array at GALP’s
Sines Refinery in Portugal. All ten 10-megawatt arrays were delivered and installed, and
commissioning is underway. Once operational, the system is expected to produce up to 15,000
tons of renewable hydrogen annually. |
| | · | Delivered
and installed five 5-megawatt containerized electrolyzers to the Iberdrola site in Castellon,
Spain. |
| | · | To
date, the Company has shipped over 300 megawatts of GenEco electrolyzers globally, and is
now deployed on six continents, demonstrating broad commercial adoption and operating experience
across multiple markets. |
Fuel and Energy Solutions
| | · | Fuel
and energy operations continued to scale across the Company’s hydrogen production network
in 2025. |
| | · | The
Louisiana hydrogen plant came online in the first half of 2025. Together with facilities
in Georgia and Tennessee, the network has the combined capacity to produce up to 40 tons
of liquid hydrogen per day. |
| | · | During
2025, the Company was awarded its first liquid hydrogen supply contract with NASA, expanding
into the aerospace and space research market and validating product quality and delivery
performance. |
| | · | The
Company delivers approximately 25 tons of hydrogen per day through its logistics network,
supported by 34 liquid hydrogen trailers and 89 gaseous trailers, improving delivery flexibility
and supply reliability. |
| | · | To
complement our own network, during 2025, we reached an agreement with one of the largest
IGCs that provided us with competitively priced hydrogen for the additional 30 tons per day
of additional capacity. |

million in revenues and Q4 margin positive as we projected at the start of the year. In 2026, we will continue executing with
discipline, driving margin improvement, and delivering exceptional outcomes for our customers. By leveraging our strong commercial
foundation, advancing cost-efficiency initiatives, and capitalizing on our more than $8 billion global sales funnel, we are
converting operational momentum into sustainable financial performance. Our targets remain consistent in achieving positive EBITDAS
in Q4 of 2026, positive operating income by the end of 2027, and full profitability by the end of 2028, while still growing the

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 impairment net of amount attributable to non-controlling interest, restructuring, write-off of capitalized
closing fees and various loans receivable, accrual related to ongoing litigation costs, bad debt, and lower of cost or net
realizable value inventory adjustments and provision for excess and obsolete inventory, change in fair value of contingent consideration,
and various charges with debt and equity transactions, 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 consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
In
addition, the Company’s EBITDAS-positive target for the second half of 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 changes in fair value of derivatives,
interest expense associated with financial arrangements, income taxes, and other non-cash or infrequent charges. These items are inherently
uncertain, depends 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.
