CORVALLIS, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) (“NuScale,” “NuScale Power” or the “Company”), the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced small modular reactor (“SMR”) nuclear technology, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. "In the first quarter, NuScale continued to take proactive steps to build on our leadership as the first and only SMR provider to receive NRC design approval,” said John Hopkins, President and CEO of NuScale Power. "With 12 modules already in the manufacturing process, we further readied our supply chain to ensure we stay on course to achieve our 2030 delivery target. Alongside our exclusive commercialization partner ENTRA1 Energy, we are in advanced dialogue with several prospective customers across governments and industries, including data centers, utilities, coal plant operators transitioning to nuclear, and petrochemical and energy companies. NuScale has built a solid foundation across our business, and we are excited for the opportunities ahead of us this year as we look to bring reliable, 24/7 carbon-free energy to market.” Liquidity & Capital Resources NuScale ended the first quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $521.4 million. The Company successfully sold 4.5 million shares through its At-The-Market (ATM) program during the quarter, generating $102.4 million in gross proceeds. First Quarter 2025 Results Revenue increased by $12.0 million to $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was driven by revenues generated from the FEED Phase 2 project and the Technology License Agreement for the RoPower Doicești power plant. Operating expense decreased by $2.3 million to $42.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $44.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower research and development expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses as NuScale continued to transition from research and development to commercialization. NuScale incurred a loss from operations of $35.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a loss from operations of $44.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This lower loss from operations was the result of a higher gross margin and lower operating expenses. Conference Call: NuScale will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET.
