NuScale Power Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

  • NuScale’s exclusive global strategic partner, ENTRA1 Energy (“ENTRA1”), signed a landmark agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority (“TVA”) to deploy up to six gigawatts of NuScale small modular reactor (“SMR”) capacity
  • Continued to progress Fluor’s Phase 2 Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) study for the RoPower Doicești, Romania, power plant
  • Further strengthened cash position through capital market activities

NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) (“NuScale”, “NuScale Power” or the “Company”), the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced SMR nuclear technology, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“NuScale is honored that our technology was selected for ENTRA1s historic agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority which marks the largest SMR deployment program in U.S. history,” said John Hopkins, NuScale President and Chief Executive Officer. “This program underscores how, as the first and only SMR technology provider to obtain U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission design approval, NuScale is leading the industry and is ready for commercial deployment. We look forward to continuing to work with our global strategic partner ENTRA1 on commercializing and deploying NuScale Power Modules (“NPMs”)™ into ENTRA1 Energy Plants™ to meet America’s demand for reliable, carbon-free baseload power for AI data centers, critical mining, semiconductor manufacturing, and other key energy-intensive industries that are driving our nation’s economic future.”

Liquidity & Capital Resources

  • Ended the third quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and short- and long-term investments of $753.8 million.
  • Sold 13.2 million shares through an at-the-market ("ATM") program during the third quarter, generating $475.2 million in gross proceeds.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024

  • Revenue and cost of sales increased by $7.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to engineering services in support of advancing RoPower’s goal of deploying an SMR power plant powered by six NPMs in Romania.
  • Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the Company signing revenue-generating contracts that allow personnel to transition from R&D to commercial projects, resulting in an increase in Cost of sales and a reduction in R&D expenses.
  • General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) increased $502.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, attributable to (a) the recognition of Milestone Contribution 1 of $495.0 million under NuScale’s Partnership Milestones Agreement with ENTRA1, (b) higher strategic business development costs of $3.6 million, both resulting from increased commercialization efforts, (c) $2.2 million in legal and accounting fees and (d) $1.1 million in higher compensation and equity-based compensation expense.
  • Other expenses decreased $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of the Company’s increased commercial activities, allowing engineering & project personnel to work on commercial projects, resulting in an increase in Cost of sales and lower Other expenses.
  • Investment income increased $3.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the Company’s stronger cash position and higher investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and longer-term investments.
