Overview

​

Plug is facilitating the paradigm shift to an increasingly electrified world by innovating cutting-edge hydrogen and fuel cell solutions.

​

While we continue to develop commercially viable hydrogen and fuel cell product solutions, we have expanded our offerings to support a variety of commercial operations that can be powered with clean hydrogen. We provide electrolyzers that allow customers — such as refineries, producers of chemicals, steel, fertilizer and commercial refueling stations — to generate hydrogen on-site. We are focusing our efforts on (a) industrial mobility applications, including electric forklifts and electric industrial vehicles, at multi-shift high volume manufacturing and high throughput distribution sites where we believe our products and services provide a unique combination of productivity, flexibility, and environmental benefits; and (b) production of hydrogen. Plug expects to support these products and customers with an

ecosystem of vertically integrated products that produce, transport, store and handle, dispense, and use hydrogen for mobility and power applications.

​

Our current product and service portfolio includes:

​

GenDrive: GenDrive is our hydrogen fueled PEM fuel cell system, providing power to material handling EVs, including Class 1, 2, 3 and 6 electric forklifts, automated guided vehicles, and ground support equipment.

​

GenFuel: GenFuel is our liquid hydrogen fueling, delivery, generation, storage, and dispensing system.

​

GenCare: GenCare is our ongoing “Internet of Things”-based maintenance and on-site service program for GenDrive fuel cell systems, GenSure fuel cell systems, GenFuel hydrogen storage and dispensing products.

​

GenKey: GenKey is our vertically integrated “turn-key” solution combining either GenDrive or GenSure fuel cell power with GenFuel fuel and GenCare aftermarket service, offering complete simplicity to customers transitioning to fuel cell power.

​

GenEco Electrolyzers: The design and implementation of 5MW and 10MW electrolyzer systems that are modular, scalable hydrogen generators optimized for clean hydrogen production. Electrolyzers generate hydrogen from water using electricity and can produce “green” hydrogen when powered by renewable energy inputs, such as solar or wind power.

​

Liquefaction Systems: Plug’s 15 ton-per-day and 30 ton-per-day liquefiers are engineered for high efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility — providing consistent liquid hydrogen to customers. This design increases plant reliability and availability while minimizing parasitic losses like heat leak and seal gas losses. 

​

Cryogenic Equipment: Engineered equipment including trailers and mobile storage equipment for the distribution of liquefied hydrogen, oxygen, argon, nitrogen and other cryogenic gases.

​

GenSure: GenSure is our stationary fuel cell solution providing scalable, modular PEM fuel cell power to support applications on both a small and large power scale. For smaller applications, Plug’s Low Power GenSure supports backup and grid-support applications of the telecommunications, transportation, and utility sectors. Our High Power GenSure product line supports large scale stationary power, EV charging infrastructure, and data center markets.

​

Liquid Hydrogen: Liquid hydrogen provides an efficient fuel alternative to fossil-based energy. We produce liquid hydrogen at our production facilities in Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana and through third-party supply arrangements, utilizing electrolyzer systems and liquefaction systems. Liquid hydrogen supply is used by customers in material handling operations, fuel cell electric vehicle fleets, and stationary power applications.

​

We provide our products and solutions worldwide through our direct sales force, and by leveraging relationships with original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their dealer networks. Plug is currently targeting Europe, Australia, North America and select international markets (including parts of Asia) for expansion in adoption of its hydrogen and electrolyzer solutions.

​

Currently, we manufacture and/or assemble our products at our manufacturing facilities in Slingerlands, New York; Rochester, New York; Houston, Texas; and Lafayette, Indiana; and have an expanded customer service center in Miamisburg, Ohio. In addition, we have hydrogen production plants in Charleston, Tennessee; Kingsland, Georgia; and St. Gabriel, Louisiana.

Results of Operations

​

Our primary sources of revenue are from sales of equipment, related infrastructure and other, services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure, power purchase agreements, and fuel delivered to customers and related equipment. A certain portion of our sales result from acquisitions in legacy markets, which we are working to transition to renewable solutions. Revenue from sales of equipment, related infrastructure and other represents sales of our GenDrive units, GenSure stationary backup power units, cryogenic stationary and on road storage, hydrogen liquefaction systems, electrolyzers and hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Revenue from services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure represents revenue earned on our service and maintenance contracts and sales of spare parts. Revenue from power purchase agreements primarily represent payments received from customers who make monthly payments to access the Company’s GenKey solution. Revenue associated with fuel delivered to customers and related equipment represents the sale of hydrogen to customers that has been purchased by the Company from a third party or generated at our hydrogen production plants.

Overview

​

Plug is facilitating the paradigm shift to an increasingly electrified world by innovating cutting-edge hydrogen and fuel cell solutions.

​

While we continue to develop commercially viable hydrogen and fuel cell product solutions, we have expanded our offerings to support a variety of commercial operations that can be powered with clean hydrogen. We provide electrolyzers that allow customers — such as refineries, producers of chemicals, steel, fertilizer and commercial refueling stations — to generate hydrogen on-site. We are focusing our efforts on (a) industrial mobility applications, including electric forklifts and electric industrial vehicles, at multi-shift high volume manufacturing and high throughput distribution sites where we believe our products and services provide a unique combination of productivity, flexibility, and environmental benefits; and (b) production of hydrogen. Plug expects to support these products and customers with an ecosystem of vertically integrated products that produce, transport, store and handle, dispense, and use hydrogen for mobility and power applications.

​

Our current product and service portfolio includes:

​

GenDrive: GenDrive is our hydrogen fueled PEM fuel cell system, providing power to material handling EVs, including Class 1, 2, 3 and 6 electric forklifts, automated guided vehicles, and ground support equipment.

​

GenFuel: GenFuel is our liquid hydrogen fueling, delivery, generation, storage, and dispensing system.

​

GenCare: GenCare is our ongoing “Internet of Things”-based maintenance and on-site service program for GenDrive fuel cell systems, GenSure fuel cell systems, GenFuel hydrogen storage and dispensing products.

​

GenKey: GenKey is our vertically integrated “turn-key” solution combining either GenDrive or GenSure fuel cell power with GenFuel fuel and GenCare aftermarket service, offering complete simplicity to customers transitioning to fuel cell power.

​

GenEco Electrolyzers: The design and implementation of 5MW and 10MW electrolyzer systems that are modular, scalable hydrogen generators optimized for clean hydrogen production. Electrolyzers generate hydrogen from water using electricity and can produce “green” hydrogen when powered by renewable energy inputs, such as solar or wind power.

​

Liquefaction Systems: Plug’s 15 ton-per-day and 30 ton-per-day liquefiers are engineered for high efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility — providing consistent liquid hydrogen to customers. This design increases plant reliability and availability while minimizing parasitic losses like heat leak and seal gas losses.

Table of Contents

Cryogenic Equipment: Engineered equipment including trailers and mobile storage equipment for the distribution of liquified hydrogen, oxygen, argon, nitrogen and other cryogenic gases.

​

GenSure: GenSure is our stationary fuel cell solution providing scalable, modular PEM fuel cell power to support applications on both a small and large power scale. For smaller applications, Plug’s Low Power GenSure supports backup and grid-support applications of the telecommunications, transportation, and utility sectors. Our High Power GenSure product line supports large scale stationary power, EV charging infrastructure, and data center markets.

​

Liquid Hydrogen: Liquid hydrogen provides an efficient fuel alternative to fossil-based energy. We produce liquid hydrogen at our production facilities in Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana and through third-party supply arrangements, utilizing electrolyzer systems and liquefaction systems. Liquid hydrogen supply is used by customers in material handling operations, fuel cell electric vehicle fleets, and stationary power applications.

​

We provide our products and solutions worldwide through our direct sales force, and by leveraging relationships with original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their dealer networks. Plug is currently targeting Europe, Australia, North America and select international markets (including parts of Asia) for expansion in adoption of its hydrogen and electrolyzer solutions.

​

Recent Developments

​

In late 2025, we initiated an infrastructure optimization initiative which contemplates monetizing certain power-related infrastructure and contractual rights that are not central to our hydrogen and fuel cell strategy. As part of this initiative, in February 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement with Stream US Data Centers, LLC for the sale of land and associated substation infrastructure in the Town of Alabama, Genesee County for gross proceeds expected to be at least $132.5 million, with potential proceeds of up to $142.0 million depending on timing of closing and the removal status of certain hydrogen storage spheres located on the property. The transaction is expected to close on or before June 30, 2026, subject to closing conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

​

A summary of our consolidated sources and uses of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was as follows (in thousands):

​

Operating Activities

​

The net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $535.8 million and $728.6 million, respectively. This decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in net loss and an increase in cash provided by accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by inventory and accounts receivable as well as an increase in cash used in contract assets.

​

Investing Activities

​

The net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $139.0 million and $402.4 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in purchases of long-lived assets and a decrease in cash paid for non-consolidated entities and non-marketable securities during the year ended December 31, 2025.

​

Financing Activities

​

The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $630.0 million and $983.2 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in proceeds from public and private offerings, net of transaction costs, an increase in principal payments on long-term debt and convertible debt instruments and a decrease in proceeds from finance obligations during the year ended December 31, 2025, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from long-term debt, convertible debt instruments and common stock warrants.

​

The Company has continued to experience negative cash flows from operations and net losses. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $1.7 billion, $2.1 billion and $1.4 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $8.2 billion as of December 31, 2025. The Company’s working capital was $799.7 million at December 31, 2025, which included unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $368.5 million and current restricted cash of $186.7 million.

​

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have historically included cash on hand, proceeds from equity and debt financings, and operating cash flows. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to strengthen its balance sheet and enhance financial flexibility. As part of its ongoing initiatives to strengthen the balance sheet and enhance liquidity, the Company initiated an infrastructure optimization initiative as described above in “Recent Developments.” If completed as expected, the initiative is reasonably likely to improve the Company’s near-term liquidity position. However, the timing and ultimate magnitude of the impact will depend on execution, satisfaction of closing conditions, market conditions and other factors.

​

The future use of the Company’s available liquidity will be based upon the ongoing review of the funding needs of the Company’s businesses, the optimal allocation of its resources, and the timing of cash flow generation. To the extent that we desire to access alternative sources of capital, market conditions could adversely impact our ability to do so at that time and at terms favorable to the Company.

​

The Company has an “at-the-market” equity offering program with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell through or to B. Riley, as sales agent or principal, shares of the Company’s common stock, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1.0 billion under a sales agreement. On August 15, 2025, the Company and B. Riley amended the “at-the-market” equity offering program to extend the term. The “at-the-market” equity offering program will terminate upon the earliest of (a) August 15, 2027, (b) the sale of all shares of common stock under the program or (c) termination of the sales agreement. On September 29, 2025, the Company and B. Riley amended the “at-the-market” equity offering program to add Yorkville Securities, LLC (“Yorkville”) as an additional sales agent and/or principal through which the Company may offer and sell shares pursuant to the “at-the-market” equity offering program. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold 34,573,529 shares of common stock at a weighted-average sales price of $1.62 per share for gross proceeds of $55.9 million with related issuance costs of $1.0 million through the “at-the-market” equity program offering. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $944.1 million of aggregate gross sales price of shares available to be sold under the “at-the-market” equity offering program.

​

The Company has also entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company has the right, at its option, to sell to Yorkville up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate gross sales price of its common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth therein. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion to direct Yorkville to purchase directly from the Company up to $10.0 million in the aggregate gross sales price of its common stock on any trading day. The SEPA expires on February 10, 2027. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold no shares of common stock pursuant to the SEPA.

​

The Company believes that its working capital, cash position and restricted cash to be released over the next 12 months, together with other key assumptions, support the Company’s conclusion that it has sufficient capital to fund its on-going operations for a period of at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Key assumptions are based on factors such as forecasted sales and costs, amortization requirements of the Company’s finance obligations, the Company’s right to direct B. Riley and Yorkville to purchase shares from the Company under the “at-the-market” equity offering program, and the Company’s right to direct Yorkville to purchase shares from the Company under the SEPA.
