Further, we have entered the manufacturing phase, putting us truly in a class of one in our industry. As we look to the future, we are encouraged by the growing interest in the many applications of our technology from major industrial companies, utilities, local governments and others seeking 24/7 clean, reliable energy and process heat.” JOHN HOPKINS President and Chief Executive Officer


 
Second Quarter 2023 Results 2 BUSINESS UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS • As part of broader leadership update to support company transition to commercialization, Robert Ramsey Hamady has joined the leadership team as Chief Financial Officer, joining the recent addition of Chief Operations Officer Carl Fisher and Clayton Scott’s elevation to Chief Commercial Officer. • Progressed Standard Design Approval (SDA) application for a VOYGR™-6 SMR power plant with the application’s acceptance for review by the NRC, and received a schedule for an anticipated 24-month review process. This achieves one of NuScale’s five 2023 strategic objectives. The uprated 77 MWe module will support the capacity needs of a wider range of customers. • Made progress on the Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP), including the project submitting a Limited Work Authorization to the NRC for review and approval, continuing to advance the Combined License application toward submission, which remains on schedule, and developing a Class 2 cost estimate for the project. In addition, House and Senate FY24 appropriation bills fully fund CFPP for FY2024 The current House and Senate FY24 appropriation bills would fully fund CFPP for FY2024, subject to the reconciliation process and being signed into law. • Received support to advance Romania’s RoPower project into the next phase, including global public- private funding commitments from the Biden administration and other partners. The funding is expected to support procurement of long lead materials, Phase 2 Front-End Engineering and Design work, provision of project management expertise, site characterization, regulatory analyses, and the development of site- specific schedule and budget estimates for project execution. • Signed a MOU with Nucor, the largest and most diversified steel and clean steel products company in North America. As part of the agreement, the companies will evaluate site suitability, transmission interconnection capabilities and capital costs for potential NuScale VOYGR plants to power Nucor EAF steel mills as well as explore an expanded manufacturing partnership. • Continued production of NuScale Power Module forgings to support manufacturing later this year, marking an important step in bringing NuScale closer to product delivery. • Showcased new research that details NuScale’s expanded capabilities to reduce emissions and aid decarbonization efforts within the industrial sector. Steam generated by a single NuScale Power Module can be efficiently compressed and heated to produce high temperature and high-pressure steam at commercial scale. This means a wider variety of high-temperature industrial processes could be powered and decarbonized using a VOYGR SMR power plant. FINANCIAL UPDATE • Strong balance sheet with cash and cash equivalents of $214.6 million ($60.2 million of which is restricted), and no debt. • Revenue of $5.8 million and net loss of $29.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to revenue of $2.7 million and a net loss of $21.4 million, respectively, for the same period in 2022. • Remaining fiscal year 2024 appropriations for the U.S. Department of Energy’s NuScale award remains achievable. This is the final year of the award.
