NuScale Power (NYSE:SMR – Get Free Report) released its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported ($0.11) EPS for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($0.12) by $0.01, FiscalAI reports. NuScale Power had a negative net margin of 6,817.00% and a negative return on equity of 13.17%. The firm had revenue of $0.28 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $3.66 million. During the same quarter last year, the company earned ($1.85) EPS. NuScale Power’s quarterly revenue was down 96.6% on a year-over-year basis.
Here are the key takeaways from NuScale Power’s conference call:
- NuScale and Doosan Enerbility agreed to begin first-article production of a NuScale Power Module, moving the company from design preparation into physical manufacturing. Management says the work and its network of more than 60 suppliers can reduce deployment risk, though it expects component costs to be recovered through a future OEM agreement.
- NuScale ended the quarter with approximately $1.9 billion in liquidity, up from $916 million a year earlier, which management says is sufficient to fund manufacturing, engineering and licensing work. The company expects spending to remain measured, but said project activity could increase expenses as customer agreements advance.
- Third-quarter revenue fell to $0.3 million from $8.2 million a year earlier, as the prior-year period included RoPower engineering work that did not recur. The result underscores NuScale’s limited current revenue from project activity.
- The potential TVA opportunity remains contingent: management offered no timeline for a commercial agreement and clarified that a power purchase agreement would not itself constitute a module order; a separate OEM agreement would follow. ENTRA1 is still working to finalize project arrangements.
- Management described discussions with utilities, hyperscalers and industrial customers, including potential process-heat applications, and said NuScale is not solely reliant on data-center demand. These opportunities remain discussions rather than announced binding commitments.
