Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying (i) unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (ii) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Therefore, it is recommended that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the 2025 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and total equity for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results to be anticipated for the full year 2026 or any future period.
In accordance with the related Going Concern accounting standards, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Since inception, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $202.3 million and $196.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company incurred operating losses of approximately $5.8 million as of the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $32.2 million and $20.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The Company's cash used in operations was $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $16.6 million and $15.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance, negative working capital, and total deficit of $1.7 million, $2.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company continues to expect to generate operating losses and negative cash flows and will need additional funding to support its planned operating activities through profitability and to repay its $1.0 million of debt due within a year after these financial statements are issued. The transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful expanded commercialization of the Company's GIVe platform and the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure.
Management plans to fund current operations and satisfy its other obligations through increased revenues and raising additional capital. Management's expectations with respect to the Company’s ability to fund current operations and its other obligations is based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties. There is an inherent risk that the Company may not achieve such financial projections and if so, cash outflows could be higher than currently anticipated. However, as such plans are not solely within management’s control, management cannot conclude as of the date of this filing that the plans are probable of being successfully implemented and as such has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of issuance of our financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its consolidated variable interest entities. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates whether it holds a variable interest in an entity in which it has a financial relationship and, if so, whether or not that entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). A VIE is an entity with insufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. The Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE if the Company has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly influence the VIE's economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company has 49% ownership interest in AggregationV2G LLC which has a controlling interest in Nuvve Japan. The Company has determined that AggregationV2G LLC is a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates AggregationV2G LLC and records a non-controlling interest for the share of the entity owned by other AggregationV2G LLC members.

The Company formed Deep Impact with Nuvve CPO and WISE, in which the Company owns 51% of Deep Impact's common units. The Company has determined that Deep Impact is a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Deep Impact and records a non-controlling interest for the share of the entity owned by WISE.

The Company formed Fermata with Preferred Members, in which the Company owns 51% of the entity. The Company has determined that Fermata is a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Fermata and records a non-controlling interest for the share of the entity owned by the Preferred Members.

Assets and Liabilities of Consolidated VIEs

The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in "Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and "Non-controlling interests" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 18 for details of non-controlling interests.

The creditors of the consolidated VIE do not have recourse to the Company other than to the assets of the consolidated VIE. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the Company's VIE assets and liabilities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Non-controlling interests
The Company presents non-controlling interests as a component of equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and reports the portion of its earnings or loss for non-controlling interest as net earnings or loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include the impairment of intangible assets, the net realizable value of inventory, the fair value of share-based payments, lease incremental borrowing rate, revenue recognition, the fair value of warrants, fair value of convertible notes, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, annual bonus accrual, and the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results could materially vary from those estimates.
Cash and Restricted Cash
The Company maintains cash balances that can, at times, exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which is up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in this area. In connection with a new office lease agreement, the Company was required to provide an irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit to the landlord upon execution of the lease. The amount securing the letter of credit was recorded as restricted cash as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $320,000.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash in financial institutions (in excess of federally insured limits) and trade receivables.

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, three customers accounted for 59.0% of revenue. The revenue amounts for each of the three customers were $0.44 million, $0.22 million and $0.16 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, two customers accounted for 69.6% of revenue. The revenue amounts for each of the two customers were $0.45 million, and $0.18 million, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company's top five customers accounted for approximately 69.5% of the Company’s total revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's top five customers accounted for approximately 85.7% of the Company’s total revenue.

At March 31, 2026, three customers accounted for 46.3% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2025, three customers accounted for 41.6% of accounts receivable.

Approximately 63.2% and 56.6% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance was with five customers at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company estimates its maximum credit risk for accounts receivable at the amount recorded on the balance sheet. The trade accounts receivables are generally short-term and all probable bad debt losses have been appropriately considered in establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Narrow Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 clarifies the interim reporting requirements by improving navigability of Topic 270 and more clearly specifying what disclosures are required in an interim
reporting period. The new guidance (i) specifies the form and content choices for interim financial statements and accompanying notes; (ii) adds a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures from numerous Codification Topics to Topic 270; and (iii) introduces a disclosure principle that requires disclosure of events since the end of the previous annual reporting period that materially affect the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. ASU 2025-10 establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The new guidance leverages the principles in the accounting framework for government assistance in IFRS, specifically IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance; makes certain targeted improvements; and modifies certain of the existing disclosure requirements in ASC 832, Government Assistance. ASU 2025-10 is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028 (including interim periods within) and one year later for all other entities. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied on a modified prospective basis, a modified retrospective basis, or a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 clarifies the threshold for capitalizing internal-use software costs to be based on when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2028. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update may be applied on a prospective, retrospective or modified basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires a public business entity ("PBE") to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, additional information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. Specifically, in a tabular disclosure, the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. Within the same tabular disclosure, a PBE is required to include certain expense, gain, or loss amounts that are already required to be disclosed under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, a PBE is required to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The guidance also requires a PBE to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB further issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
