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

 

 üAchieved Over $700 million in revenue
 üAchieved positive gross margin for Q4 2025
 üEstablished strong liquidity platform to fund 2026
 üPositioned 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.

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.
