NuScale Power Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts)
1.Nature of Business
Organization
NuScale Power Corporation (“NuScale Corp”) is incorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is the primary beneficiary of NuScale LLC, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and all activities of NuScale LLC and the Company are consolidated herein. NuScale LLC is a limited liability company organized in Oregon in 2011. “NuScale”, the “Company”, “us”, “we” and “our” refer to NuScale Corp and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Operations
NuScale is commercializing a modular, scalable electric Light Water Reactor nuclear power plant with 77 megawatt (gross) NPMs, using exclusive rights to a nuclear power plant design obtained from Oregon State University. In the future the Company also plans to generate revenue by providing critical services, such as start-up and testing and nuclear fuel and refueling services, over the life cycle of each power plant. However, at the Company’s current stage, all significant revenue generated to date arises from engineering and licensing fees and services provided to potential customers, with the end goal of selling NPMs. The following represent key milestones in the development of this technology:
•December 2016: DCA completed;
•March 2017: DCA accepted for review by the NRC;
•August 2020: NRC issued the FSER;
•July 2023: SDA Application and associated licensing topical reports accepted for formal review by the NRC; and
•May 2025: NRC finalized their review and approved the SDA.
The FSER represented the NRC’s completion of its technical review and approval of the NuScale SMR design. Now that the NRC has also approved the SDA, customers are able to proceed with plans to develop NuScale power plants and file applications seeking permission to build and operate an SMR in the United States that utilizes the 77 megawatt-per-module NPM design.
The Company has entered into a series of agreements, whereby ENTRA1 is NuScale’s exclusive global strategic partner for the commercialization and development of power plants utilizing NPMs. ENTRA1 is also considered a prospective customer as the Company is a key supplier for the sale and installation of NPMs on future ENTRA1 energy projects.
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure funding to sustain operations until we reach commercialization and obtain customers.
The majority of the Company’s operations and long-lived assets were attributable to operations in the United States other than the long-lead material work in process being manufactured in South Korea during the 2026 and 2025 fiscal years.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes do not include notes and certain financial information normally presented annually under GAAP, and therefore should be read in conjunction with our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accounting measures at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. Although such estimates are based on management’s most recent assessment of the underlying facts and circumstances utilizing the most current information available, our reported results of operations may not necessarily be indicative of results that we expect for the full year.
NuScale Power Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts)
These financial statements are unaudited. In management’s opinion, they contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary to present fairly our financial position and our operating results as of and for the interim periods presented.
Principles of Consolidation
NuScale Corp was determined to be the primary beneficiary of NuScale LLC, a VIE. As the sole managing member of NuScale LLC, NuScale Corp has both the power to direct the activities, and direct ownership to share in the revenues and expenses, of NuScale LLC. As such, all the activity of NuScale LLC has been consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. All assets and liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are those of NuScale LLC, other than certain prepaid assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Investments and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Our Short-term investments have an initial maturity of between three and twelve months at the time of purchase, while anything with a maturity in excess of twelve months is included as Investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash in the amount of $5,100 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is restricted as collateral for the letter of credit associated with the Release Agreement with CFPP LLC, and is identified as Restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The restricted cash balance plus cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheet equals cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
In addition to advancing the commercialization of its SMR, NuScale provides engineering and licensing services, while also charging licensing fees to customers.
The Company recognizes fixed price contract revenue with multiple performance obligations as each obligation is completed. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract. For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, we recognize revenue when delivery of the promised good has occurred or the service has been rendered. For performance obligations satisfied over time we use the cost to cost input method to estimate the amount to recognize. Revenue recognized on contracts that has not been billed to customers is classified as a current asset under Accounts and other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized are classified as Deferred revenue.
Consideration Paid to a Customer or Prospective Customer
Under the PMA, ENTRA1 is a prospective customer of NuScale. As such, contributions made by NuScale to ENTRA1 under the PMA fall under the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue Recognition, for consideration paid to customers or prospective customers. Management evaluates the facts and circumstances of any payments to ENTRA1 to determine the nature of the payment, rights and obligations under the contract and whether the payment meets the definition of an asset. Based on management’s review of the terms that trigger payment of Milestone Contribution 1 of the PMA (see Note 9), the Company has determined that payment of Milestone Contribution 1 does not meet the criteria required under ASC 606 for capitalization, and as such has been expensed as incurred.
NuScale Power Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts)
Leases
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. This classification dictates whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The Company’s right-of-use assets relate to office facilities, some of which include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term up to 5 years. The exercise of the lease renewal is at the Company’s discretion. Renewal periods are included in the expected lease term if they are reasonably certain of being exercised by the Company. None of the Company’s lease agreements contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.
On March 6, 2026, the Company executed a lease agreement for an office facility in Houston, Texas, that requires the Company to enter into a letter of credit in the amount of $4,250 on behalf of the landlord. As of March 31, 2026, the Company is negotiating the details and has yet to execute this letter of credit. Further, as part of this lease agreement, the landlord has provided an incentive allowance in the amount of $2,875 that the Company will use to make improvements which will be capitalized as Leasehold improvements and included in Property, plant and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Long-term leases (leases with initial terms greater than 12 months) are capitalized at the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease when the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
Short-term leases (leases with an initial term of 12 months or less or leases that are cancelable by the lessee and lessor without significant penalties) are not capitalized but are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s short-term leases relate to office equipment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ASU 2025-05. The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under FASB ASC 606. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient. An entity that makes the accounting policy election is required to disclose the date through which subsequent cash collections are evaluated. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual periods beginning for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has elected to adopt the practical expedient for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. Qualitative disclosures about any remaining amounts in relevant expense line items must be provided. Separate disclosures of total selling expenses and an entity’s definition of those expenses are also required. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim reporting periods beginning in that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NuScale Power Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts)
The NCI may decrease according to the number of shares of Class B common stock and NuScale LLC Class B units that are exchanged for shares of Class A common stock or, in certain circumstances including at the election of NuScale Corp, cash in an amount equal to the fair value of Class A common stock received in a contemporaneous equity issuance. After each exchange, NuScale LLC equity attributable to NuScale Corp is rebalanced to reflect the change in ownership percentage, which is calculated above based on NuScale LLC Class B units and shares of Class A common stock, as a percentage of Combined interests.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is based on the average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the average number of shares of Class A common stock used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of RSUs, stock options and Warrants using the “treasury stock” method and for all other interests that convert into potential shares of Class A common stock, if any, using the “if converted” method. Net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders for diluted loss per share is adjusted for the Company’s share of NuScale LLC’s net loss, net of NuScale Corp taxes, after giving effect to all other interests that convert into potential shares of Class A common stock, to the extent it is dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock. Class B common stock represents a right to cast one vote per share at the NuScale Corp level, and carries no economic rights, including rights to dividends or distributions upon liquidation, and as a result, is not considered a participating security for basic and diluted loss per share. As such, basic and diluted loss per share of Class B common stock has not been presented.

4.Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach).
The levels of hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most stringent level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to their short maturities. Our cash equivalents consist of money market funds denominated in U.S. dollars and certificates of deposit (“CDs”), while our Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit. Our Investments include United States Government Mortgage-backed Securities (“U.S. Government Securities”) and Corporate Bonds issued by major United States banks (“Corporate Bonds”). The U.S. Government Securities and Corporate Bonds are all rated A1 or above and are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost, as the Company has the intent and the ability to hold them until they mature. The carrying values of the U.S. Government Securities and Corporate Bonds are adjusted for accretion of discounts over the remaining life of the investment, while interest or investment income are recognized in investment income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. All of the Company’s CDs, U.S. Government Securities and Corporate Bonds were valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in other markets.
In determining the allowance for expected credit losses under ASC 326, Credit Losses, the credit quality and collectability of each class of financial assets are evaluated. For our U.S. Government Securities, CDs and Corporate Bonds, based on the maturity of the instruments and the strong credit ratings and historical performance of the counterparty, analysis indicates a minimal probability of default, and therefore, the expected credit loss is considered to be negligible.
The following table represents the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

5.Accounts and Other Receivables
Accounts and other receivables, net include reimbursement requests outstanding from the cost share awards, interest receivable and commercial accounts receivable. The cost share reimbursement requests are recognized as eligible costs are incurred. Reimbursement under the awards is recognized as award funds are obligated and is included in Sponsored cost share in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Interest receivable of $2,062 and $2,109 was outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses. Management estimates an allowance for credit losses by evaluating customer and transaction-specific conditions, including adverse situations that may affect a customer’s ability to pay, as well as both microeconomic and macroeconomic factors.
Interest receivable earned from our financial assets measured at fair value is analyzed under ASC 326, Credit Losses. Based on the analysis of the underlying financial instruments, it is considered to be negligible.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no allowance for credit losses.
6.Leases
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. This classification dictates whether lease expense is recognized

Of these amounts, $50 and $215 is included in G&A expenses and Other expense, respectively, for the 2026 fiscal year and $61 and $208, respectively, for the 2025 fiscal year.
8.Long-Lead Material Work In Process
The Company has continued to advance its investment into LLM, which represents in-process inventory recorded at cost and is identified as Long-lead material work in process on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $65,092 and $63,767 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Costs included in the LLM relate to materials essential to the manufacturing of the NPM sourced from Doosan Enerbility Co., Ltd. (“Doosan”). Doosan is a global leader in power generation and energy solutions recognized as a world-class supplier of nuclear power plant equipment. The LLM from Doosan includes raw materials required for heavy forging, steam generator tubes and weld material, as well as manufacturing costs to melt, apply heat treatment and machine the raw materials.
9.Partnership Milestones Agreement with ENTRA1
On August 27, 2025, NuScale LLC and ENTRA1 executed the PMA, in furtherance of business development and project development activities supported by ENTRA1. Concurrently, NuScale Corp and ENTRA1 executed a Guaranty Agreement, whereby NuScale Corp agreed to guaranty the obligations of NuScale LLC under the PMA.
Under the PMA, NuScale is named the key supplier to future ENTRA1 energy projects with respect to the supply of SMR technology, while ENTRA1 retains sole and full discretion to select, contract with, or purchase from NuScale. Under the PMA, the Company is required to make Milestone Contributions to ENTRA1, or its designated affiliate, for each NPM or other NuScale product which may be nominally rated at 77 MWe or with other specifications to provide energy and/or steam that is anticipated to be placed in a contemplated project or power plant (each, an “Energy Project”). The PMA also includes a negotiated maximum sale price for each NPM to be delivered and installed in an ENTRA1 Energy Project. Each Milestone Contribution is broken down into three tranches as follows:
•Milestone Contribution 1 (15% of total Milestone Contribution) - Upon execution by ENTRA1, or its designated affiliate, of a non-binding term sheet, memorandum of understanding, letter of intent or framework agreement with a third party related to the development of an Energy Project with a third party.
•Milestone Contribution 2 (35% of total Milestone Contribution) - Upon execution by ENTRA1, or its designated affiliate, of a binding power purchase agreement, energy off-take agreement or document with a third party in connection with the development of an Energy Project with a third party or the deployment of one or more NPMs into a potential Energy Project.
•Milestone Contribution 3 (50% of total Milestone Contribution) - Upon execution by ENTRA1, or its designated affiliate, a third party or any other party designated by ENTRA1 as a counterparty of an original
NuScale Power Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts)
equipment manufacturing agreement with NuScale for NPMs, or such other form of binding documentation in connection with the purchase or deployment of NPMs.
The initial term of the PMA expires on December 31, 2045. The term of the PMA automatically renews for subsequent twenty-year periods, unless either party gives at least twelve months prior written notice before the end of the then relevant term. The PMA may be terminated by either party upon written notice if the other party: (i) becomes insolvent (as declared by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they mature; or (iv) is the subject of any proceeding filed by such other party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law that is not dismissed within 120 days.
In 2025, the criteria for triggering payment of Milestone Contribution 1 was achieved, as ENTRA1 entered into a non-binding agreement relating to 72 NPMs. As such, we incurred an expense of $507,393, with $247,509 being settled in 2025 and $259,884 settled during the three months ended March 31, 2026. While the Company is subject to future payments in relation to Milestone Contribution 2 and Milestone Contribution 3, the criteria to record such liability has not been met yet, and the Company does not have an accrued PMA liability as of March 31, 2026.
10.Segment Information
The Company presently operates in one business segment, the commercialization of a modular, scalable electric Light Water Reactor nuclear power plant, with 77 megawatt (gross) NPMs. In the future the Company also plans to generate revenue by providing critical services, such as start-up and testing and nuclear fuel and refueling services, over the life cycle of each power plant. However, at the Company’s current stage, all significant revenue generated to date arises from engineering and licensing fees and services provided to potential customers, with the end goal of selling NPMs.
The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Commercial Officer (“CCO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) are its chief operating decision makers (the “CODMs”). During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the CODMs made decisions on resource allocation, assessed performance of the business and monitored budget versus actual results using Net loss, which is provided in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. These measures are used to allocate resources for business activities on a consolidated basis as the Company operates in one reportable segment. The Company does not use a measure of segment assets in its decision making. When evaluating how to allocate resources, CODMs primarily focus on Labor costs, which are the significant expenses within Loss from operations and Net loss. Labor costs, which include salaries and wages and equity-based compensation, totaled $17,944 and $17,703 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Labor costs are included in all three of the Company’s operating expense line items on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
11.Revenue
The following table presents our revenue disaggregated into categories based on the nature of such revenues:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| Revenue Categories | | 2026 | | 2025 | | | | |
| Power Plant and NPM related services | | $ | 487 | | | $ | 12,969 | | | | | |
| Energy Exploration Centers | | 78 | | | 372 | | | | | |
| Other | | — | | | 34 | | | | | |
| Total | | $ | 565 | | | $ | 13,375 | | | | | |
12.Employee Benefits
The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) Plan with contributions to be made at the sole discretion of management. Under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan, the Company matches the employees’ contributions for the first
NuScale Power Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts)
3% of compensation and matches 50% of the employees’ contributions for the next 2% of compensation. The expense recorded for the 401(k) Plan was $759 and $660 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
13.Income Taxes
NuScale LLC was historically and remains a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes with each partner being separately taxed on its share of taxable income or loss. NuScale Corp is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of any net taxable income or loss and any related tax credits of NuScale LLC.
The effective tax rate was 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 differed significantly from the statutory rates, primarily due to the losses and the recognition of a valuation allowance as a result of the Company’s new tax structure following the Transaction.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred no income tax.
The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at NuScale Corp as of March 31, 2026, which will be maintained until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.
The Company’s income tax filings will be subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The Company will monitor the status of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign filings that may be subject to audit in future periods. No U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns are currently under examination by the respective taxing authorities.
NuScale Corp, NuScale LLC and various legacy NuScale Equityholders entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) on May 2, 2022. Given NuScale’s current tax situation the related liability is not probable and therefore not recorded. No TRA payments are expected in the near future.
14.Equity-Based Compensation
Time-based RSUs
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) granted 2,804,258 employee time-based RSU awards for an aggregate value of $36,186, while during the same period in the prior year, 1,536,603 RSUs with an aggregate value of $26,499 were granted to employees. The awards vest one-third annually from the grant date. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 1,914,872 RSUs vested with shares of Class A common stock issued.
15.Related Party Transactions
From time to time, NuScale enters into contracts with Fluor, a related party, whereby Fluor or the Company perform services for one another. The Company incurred no expenses related to Fluor during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company earned no revenue from Fluor, while during the three months ended March 31, 2025, Fluor accounted for $7,269, or 54%, of the Company’s revenue. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Fluor owed the Company $5,488 and $5,452, respectively, which are included in Accounts and other receivables, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

16.Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In the regular course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims incidental to the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that any legal claims are material to the Company.
On February 18, 2026, a shareholder lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, Portland Division, against the Company, John Hopkins, Ramsey Hamady and Fluor Corporation. The lawsuit, Truedson v. NuScale Power Corporation, et al. (Case No. 26-328) (the “Truedson Class Action”), asserts claims under federal securities laws that the defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts, relating to ENTRA1’s experience, qualifications and capabilities as a developer of nuclear power plants, and further asserts that Fluor and the individual defendants are controlling persons within the meaning of federal securities laws. The plaintiff in the lawsuit seeks to represent a class of persons that purchased shares of the Company’s Class A common stock between May 13, 2025, and November 6, 2025, and seeks unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees and other relief. On March 19, 2026, the Court entered a stipulation providing that Defendants' time to answer, move, or otherwise respond to the Complaint is extended until after the Court appoints lead plaintiff and lead counsel, lead plaintiff designates or files an operative complaint, and the Court sets a deadline for Defendants' anticipated motion to dismiss. On April 20, 2026, several parties filed motions for appointment as lead plaintiff, and the Court has put this matter on its advisement calendar for May 26, 2026. The Company is unable to estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the lawsuit, which could materially and adversely impact its business, financial condition or results of operations.
On March 24, 2026, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivate lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, Portland Division, against certain of the Company’s officers and directors, namely John Hopkins, Alan Boeckmann, Bum-Jin Chung, Alvin Collins, Shinji Fujino, Kent Kresa, Diana Walters and Kimberly Warnica, and the Company, as the nominal defendant. The lawsuit, Albert Leigh, derivatively on behalf of NuScale Power Corporation v. John Hopkins, Robert Hamady, et al. (Case No. 3-26) is based on substantially the same factual allegations as the Truedson Class Action case and asserts claims against the individual defendants for alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties as officers and directors of the Company, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and, against defendants Hopkins and Hamady, for contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. The Company is unable to estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the lawsuit, which could materially and adversely impact its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Cash Obligations and Commitments
Under the Release Agreement, the Company is required to have credit support to fund the amount of its potential reimbursement of demobilization and wind down costs with CFPP LLC. This account is identified as Restricted cash in the amount of $5,100 on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and acts as collateral for the $5,000 letter of credit outstanding at March 31, 2026.
Further, as described in Note 2, the Company is negotiating a letter of credit associated with the Houston facility lease that, once executed, will be in the amount of $4,250. The future cash payments associated with this lease have been included in the commitments table below.
In 2025, NuScale entered into a sale and marketing agreement for services to be provided ratably over 2025 and this sale and marketing agreement was extended for one additional year, increasing the Company’s commitment by an additional $34,800.
On August 27, 2025, NuScale LLC and ENTRA1 executed the PMA, in furtherance of business development and project development activities supported by ENTRA1. Under the PMA, the Company is required to make Milestone Contributions to ENTRA1 under certain circumstances (see Note 9 for more information). While the Company might be subject to future payments in relation to Milestone Contribution 2 and or Milestone Contribution 3, the criteria to record such liability has not been met yet, and the Company does not have an accrued PMA liability as of March 31, 2026.

This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. As used herein, “NuScale,” the “Company,” “us,” “our” or “we” refer to NuScale Corp, together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
Our mission is to provide scalable advanced nuclear technology to produce electricity, heat and clean water to improve the quality of life for people around the world. We are commercializing a modular, scalable electric Light Water Reactor nuclear power plant that we believe will deliver safer scalable, cost-effective and reliable carbon free power. Our core technology, the NPM, can generate 77 MWe, with a focus on the integration of components, simplification or elimination of systems and use of passive safety features. We believe that this results in a safe and highly reliable power plant suitable to be sited close to where electricity, water desalinization, hydrogen production or process heat is needed.
Since our founding in 2007, we have made significant progress towards commercializing the first SMR in the United States. In September 2020, our 12-module design (currently approved for 160 million watts of thermal power
or 50 MWe per NPM) became the first and only SMR to receive an SDA from the NRC. In May 2025, the NRC finalized their review and approved our second SDA application and the associated licensing topical reports for our 6-unit 77 MWe NPM design, giving customers in the United States the ability to reference the approved design and SDA for expedited construction and operating licensing for a plant that is using the NuScale SMR technology.
NuScale is actively collaborating with ENTRA1 on development initiatives for the deployment of NuScale’s nuclear technology. ENTRA1 is NuScale’s exclusive global partner for the commercialization and development of our products and services, including NPMs to be included in nuclear power plants. While ENTRA1 can decide in its sole discretion whether to participate in commercialization and development opportunities with NuScale, NuScale must obtain ENTRA1’s consent to pursue opportunities without their involvement.
Outlook
Foreign SMR Market
Demand for energy in foreign markets is currently being driven by population growth, industrialization and urbanization with countries in Asia contributing the most to international growth. Rising living standards, driven by economic growth, has increased the need for residential electricity, a trend that is expected to increase in the coming years, with Asia forecasted to account for nearly 60% of global growth in electricity consumption through 2050.
The Company currently has one international customer: RoPower Nuclear S.A. (“RoPower”), which is a joint venture established by S.N. Nuclearelectrica S.A. (“Nuclearelectrica”) and Nova Power & Gas S.A. In July 2024, NuScale and RoPower signed a technology licensing agreement, which granted RoPower a right to use certain intellectual property of NuScale’s. In the third quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, Nuclearelectrica and RoPower signed the Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) Phase 2 contract with Fluor, a related party to NuScale. FEED Phase 2 included tasks related to the development of a Class 3 plant cost estimate, as well as support to RoPower with its regulatory and stakeholder engagements. NuScale completed their scope of work for FEED Phase 2 as a subcontractor to Fluor in late 2025.
On February 12, 2026 the Romanian Government approved the investment decision for the Doicești SMR plant project, allowing for the ability to seek financing to further feasibility studies, and site-specific design work prior to any construction moving forward. This is a positive step in support of advancing the project to the next phase as RoPower is authorized to advance the licensing and geotechnical work, finalize a pre-engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contract, and begin negotiating contracts for long lead items. We do not anticipate that RoPower will enter into a pre-EPC contract until they have secured financing to support the pre-EPC activities but once a pre-EPC contract is entered into, we will recommence work on the project. We anticipate that the pre-EPC phase of the project will have an estimated duration of up to 15 months and that activities will include, among other things, the development of a Class 2 cost estimate for the project.
With ENTRA1, we continue to develop our international customer interest as we foresee significant customer demand over the long-term outside of the United States as industry trends like decarbonization, an increasing demand for renewable energy alternatives, and changes in broader economic and geopolitical conditions continue to grow. Our collective team puts significant effort into developing dialogue with foreign governments and corporations in order to educate and market our technology.
Domestic SMR Market
Demand for energy in the United States is currently being driven by the significant growth in the data center industry, particularly as artificial intelligence (“AI”) deployment, cloud computing adoption, and digital transformation initiatives accelerate across sectors. Further, the United States government has identified nuclear technology as imperative to the country’s national security objectives and ordered the expansion of American nuclear energy capacity to 400 gigawatts by 2050, or nearly 400% the current capacity.
On September 2, 2025, the Tennessee Valley Authority (“TVA”) announced the signing of a non-binding agreement under which ENTRA1 and TVA will collaborate to develop plants to provide TVA with up to 6 gigawatts of new nuclear power generation. TVA and ENTRA1 announced that this collaboration is an important first step to advance deployment of nuclear technology in the United States, with ENTRA1 also announcing that its immediate strategy is to utilize NuScale’s SMR equipment inside their power plants.
We are positioning ourselves to support the potential next phase of the collaboration between TVA and ENTRA1 which is contingent on the execution of one or more purchase power agreements between ENTRA1 and TVA
In addition, ENTRA1 and NuScale continue to develop domestic customer interests, including interest from hyperscaler, technology, industrial and micro-grid customers in sectors that include direct air capture, water desalinization, hydrogen production and mission critical facilities.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Revenue
Revenue decreased $12.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the revenue recognized from the RoPower technology license agreement (“TLA”) completed during the first three months of 2025 as well as the work associated with the Fluor FEED Phase 2 engineering services in support of the RoPower project, which was completed in late 2025, with no comparable activity in 2026.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased $5.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the completion of the work associated with the Fluor FEED Phase 2 engineering services in support of the RoPower project in late 2025.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of $5.7 million higher costs associated with the Company’s increased activities to advance the technological readiness and design maturity of our NPM components, partially offset by $1.9 million in lower regulatory costs as we received SDA approval in May 2025.
General and Administrative
G&A expenses increased $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to $1.4 million of higher compensation costs due to increased headcount and $1.1 million of higher organizational costs, partially offset by $1.1 million of lower accounting and legal fees now that the initial costs associated with becoming a large accelerated filer have passed.
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased by $10.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to (a) the Company’s engineers and project personnel working on fewer commercial projects than in the prior year, resulting in the lower allocation to Cost of sales described above and (b) higher Other Compensation costs incurred as we have ramped up the resources supporting supply chain readiness and the delivery of future commercial projects.
Investment Income
Investment income increased $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of the Company’s stronger cash position and higher investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and longer-term investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 26, 2026, NuScale entered into a sales agreement with UBS Securities LLC, B. Riley Securities, Inc., Canaccord Genuity LLC and Tuohy Brothers Investment Research, Inc. as sales agents under which the Company may offer and sell shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate sales price of up to $1,000,000 (the “2026 ATM Program”).
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued and sold 3,159,105 shares of Class A common stock for the gross and net proceeds of $37.9 million and $37.3 million, respectively, with a weighted average price of $12.01 per share. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $962.1 million worth of shares of Class A common stock eligible for sale under the 2026 ATM Program.
Since NuScale’s inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and have an accumulated deficit of $776.9 million, with negative operating cash flows. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $341.1 million and short-term investments of $549.0 million, with no debt. Historically, our primary sources of cash included sales under the ATM Programs, investment capital, and DOE and other government sponsored cost share agreements to support the advancement of our SMR technology both domestically and abroad. As we transition from research and development to the commercialization of our technology, we are focusing on commercial contracts that generate revenue and are investing in activities that advance the production of our NPMs. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we executed two revenue generating agreements in relation to the advancement of Doicești project Phase 2 Front-End Engineering and Design, a project which targets the development of six NuScale power modules at a former coal plant site in Doicești, Romania.
We believe that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents and investments, along with continued access to capital markets, to satisfy our cash requirements for the next 12 months and beyond. For additional information regarding risk factors, see the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash Flows used in Operating Activities
Our cash used in operations increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to the payment to ENTRA1 of $259.9 million, lower collections from customers and prepayments to vendors for the manufacture of the LLM.
Cash Flows (used in) provided by Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $218.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as management continued to implement its strategy of deploying excess cash into a mix of short-term and long-term investments. This opportunistic allocation reflects our objective of maximizing returns while maintaining liquidity, aligning with our expected future operational needs and cash requirements.
Cash Flows provided by Financing Activities
During both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from the utilization of our at-the-market programs.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
Under the Release Agreement, the Company is required to have credit support to fund the amount of its potential reimbursement of demobilization and wind down costs with CFPP LLC. This account is identified as Restricted cash in the amount of $5.1 million on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and acts as collateral for the $5.0 million letter of credit outstanding at March 31, 2026.
Further, as described in Note 2, the Company is negotiating a letter of credit associated with the Houston facility lease that, once executed, will be in the amount of $4.3 million. The future cash payments associated with this lease have been included in the commitments table below.
In 2025, NuScale entered into a sale and marketing agreement for services to be provided ratably over 2025 and this sale and marketing agreement was extended for one additional year, increasing the Company’s commitment by an additional $34.8 million.
On August 27, 2025, NuScale LLC and ENTRA1 executed the PMA, in furtherance of business development and project development activities supported by ENTRA1. Under the PMA, the Company is required to make Milestone Contributions to ENTRA1 under certain circumstances (see Note 9 for more information). While the Company might be subject to future payments in relation to Milestone Contribution 2 and or Milestone Contribution 3, the criteria to record such liability has not been met yet, and the Company does not have an accrued PMA liability as of March 31, 2026.
