TEMPLE REVIEWED • • Third Quarter 2023 Results November 8, 2023 • Continued progress toward commercialization of SMR technology to meet the growing consumer demand for safe, reliable, 24/7 and carbon-free baseload energy • Selected by Standard Power to provide SMR technology for two advanced nuclear energy facilities that will together produce nearly 2 GWe of clean energy in partnership with ENTRA1 Energy (ENTRA1) • Mutually agreed to terminate the Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP) with Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems due to unlikelihood that the project will have enough subscription to continue toward deployment • Received approval for Licensing Basis Document in support of the RoPower project, a key milestone that will facilitate the implementation of the licensing process for all stages of the NuScale project in Romania • Continued to progress on Standard Design Approval application, which was accepted for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) • Doosan Enerbility continued to produce forgings and materials associated with the manufacture of the first NuScale Power Modules We made substantial progress commercializing our SMR technology in the third quarter. Most notably, we announced our inaugural project with ENTRA1 to develop and finance two power generation facilities for Standard Power in Ohio and Pennsylvania using NuScale’s cost- competitive, customizable and safe SMR technology. We expect our ENTRA1 partnership to significantly bolster our business development pipeline. Demand for safe, reliable, 24/7 carbon- free baseload energy is robust and growing among energy consumers. NuScale’s SMR technology is ready for near-term deployment and provides unmatched flexibility for a variety of applications.” JOHN HOPKINS President and Chief Executive Officer


 
Second Quarter 2023 Results 2 BUSINESS UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS • Standard Power selected NuScale technology and ENTRA1 to support the development of two SMR- powered facilities in Ohio and Pennsylvania that will together produce nearly 2 GWe of clean, carbon free energy through deployment of 24 NuScale Power Modules. • Standard Design Approval (SDA) application for an uprated 77 MWe module design was accepted for review by the NRC and NuScale received a schedule for an anticipated 24-month review process. The increased power output will support the capacity needs of a wider range of customers with 12 modules producing nearly 1 GWe. • Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems and NuScale have agreed they will mutually terminate the CFPP after an extensive review, agreeing that the project is unlikely to secure the subscription needed to make it viable. NuScale is engaged to ensure the successful transfer of long-lead materials for the six NuScale Power Modules under development and generic elements of the Combined License application for use with another customer. Our work with CFPP has advanced NuScale technology to the stage of commercial deployment, which we will continue to build on with future customers. • RoPower project advancing into the next phase of development with a milestone regulatory approval in Romania and global public private funding commitments expected to support procurement of long lead materials and Phase 2 Front-End Engineering and Design work. • Continued production of NuScale Power Module forgings to support manufacturing ramp, marking an important step in bringing NuScale closer to product delivery. FINANCIAL UPDATE • Healthy balance sheet with cash and equivalents of $196.6 million ($79.1 million of which is restricted), and no debt. • Revenue of $7.0 million and net loss of $58.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to revenue of $3.2 million and a net loss of $49.6 million, respectively, for the same period in 2022.
