| Nature of Operations | 1. Nature of Operations Plug Power Inc. (the “Company,” “Plug,” “we” or “our”) 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has continued to experience negative cash flows from operations and net losses. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $190.1 million and $228.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $436.1 million and $425.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s working capital was $652.5 million, which included unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $161.9 million and current restricted cash of $155.5 million, and the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8.7 billion. 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. The future use of our available liquidity will be based upon the ongoing review of the funding needs of our businesses, the optimal allocation of our 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”) and Yorkville Securities, LLC (“Yorkville”) 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. The “at-the-market” equity offering program will terminate upon the earliest of (a) August 15, 2027, with respect to principal and agency transactions, (b) the sale of all shares of common stock under the program or (c) termination of the sales agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold no shares of common stock pursuant to the “at-the-market” equity offering program. As of June 30, 2026, 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold no shares of common stock pursuant to the SEPA. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, on August 7, 2026, the Company received $40.0 million in connection with the closing of the sale of high-voltage electrical infrastructure assets located at the Company's Graham, Texas project to Stream U.S. Data Centers, LLC, as further described in Note 20, "Subsequent Events." The Company expects these proceeds to provide additional near-term liquidity as it continues to execute on its strategic infrastructure optimization initiative. The Company believes that its working capital, cash position and restricted cash to be released over the next 12 months, and amortization requirements of the Company’s finance obligations, together with other key assumptions, support the Company’s conclusion that it has sufficient capital to fund its ongoing operations for a period of at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Key assumptions are based on factors such as forecasted sales and costs, 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. |
