• Raised $381 million from successful Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. merger and associated PIPE offering
• Reaffirms financial outlook; reports strong balance sheet featuring cash and equivalents of $350.8 million and no debt
• Reports steady progress towards executing on five near term strategic objectives including advancing critical activities to support commercialization and key regulatory milestones
• Formed new VOYGR™ Services & Delivery business unit to streamline services, supply chain and client management functions

NuScale Power Corporation (NuScale or the Company) (NYSE: SMR), the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) technology, today reported results for the second quarter and the first six months of 2022.

“This is an exciting time for NuScale. Our long-term vision is clear, our goals are achievable, and we have a committed and diverse stable of investors and strategic partners who believe in our company and technology. Our strong start as a public company is fueled by the continued execution of our commercial strategy and burgeoning global demand and support for our industry-leading small modular reactor technology,” said John Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of NuScale Power. “We remain focused on securing additional committed customers, issuing long-lead material specifications, completing our Standard Plant designs and advancing our Standard Design Approval Application with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) all by year end.”

BUSINESS UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Continued to strengthen customer pipeline as part of goal to secure an additional committed customer by year end. On June 26, the U.S. government committed $14 million toward a Front-End Engineering and Design study in Romania that could lead to the deployment of a NuScale VOYGR™-6 SMR power plant. Additionally, on May 23, the United States announced that it would provide the University Politechnica of Bucharest with a NuScale Energy Exploration (E2) Center, which is a simulator of NuScale’s SMR power plant control room. This project is already under way. In Poland, KGHM, a leading copper and silver mining conglomerate and large industrial energy user, recently submitted an application to their national regulatory agency to assess NuScale’s technology.

• Reached another major development milestone by entering a licensing agreement with Paragon, the leading provider of safety-related parts and components to the nuclear industry. The agreement will enable widespread use of NuScale’s NRC-approved Highly Integrated Protection Systems, or HIPS, platform and provide NuScale with an additional source of income. HIPS is an efficient, cost-effective and cyber-secure reactor protection solution.

• Announced the early completion of the long lead material specification for the reactor pressure vessel, one of the major components of the NuScale Power Module™. Additionally, the Company also completed key elements of the reactor building design, such as issuing the Revision 0 Reactor Building Structural Design last month.

• Formed the new VOYGR Services and Delivery (VSD) business unit. VSD will be comprised of services, supply chain, and client management functions to help more effectively deliver NuScale’s VOYGR plants and services, which in turn will help customers to more easily operate and maintain a VOYGR plant. The business unit will be led by Thomas Mundy, President, VOYGR™ Services and Delivery, who previously served in several key senior capacities for NuScale, including Chief Commercial Officer, Managing Director for the United Kingdom and Europe, and Vice President of Program Management.

• Continued to make regulatory headway in a favorable international climate through an agreement with National Technical Systems to establish an Equipment Qualification Test Chamber, which will allow the Company to qualify components to meet NRC and plant-specific requirements. At the G7 Summit this summer, the current U.S. administration reaffirmed its commitment to combat climate change by supporting NuScale’s SMR deployment in Romania.

• First-mover advantages have continued to benefit NuScale, evidenced by the NRC recently voting unanimously to approve the design certification of NuScale’s SMR. As anticipated, the vote represents the final NRC approval of NuScale’s design. NuScale is the only SMR vendor to submit an application for design approval, and the only SMR design approved by the NRC.

FINANCIAL UPDATE:

• Strong balance sheet, featuring cash and equivalents of $350.8 million and no debt.

• Revenue of $2.7 million and net loss of $(21.4) million for three-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to revenue of $0.4 million and a net loss of $(24.7) million, respectively, for the same period in 2021. Revenue of $5.2 million and net loss of $(44.8) million for six-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to revenue of $1.0 million and a net loss of $(47.3 million), respectively, for the same period in 2021. Results for both the three-month and six-month periods reflect higher Research & Development (R&D) costs associated with the standard plant design work and growing headcount to pursue global marketing efforts and expand our licensing efforts.

• Fully diluted share count is 257.2 million as of June 30, comprised of over 42 million shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, and over 178 million shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of NuScale LLC Class B Units, as well as more than 35 million shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and 1.6 million shares subject to earn out.

About NuScale Power Corporation

NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) NuScale Power Corporation is the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced nuclear small modular reactor (SMR) technology with a mission to help power the global energy transition by delivering safe, scalable and reliable carbon-free nuclear power.

Each NuScale Power Module (NPM) is capable of generating 77 megawatts electric (MWe) of electricity and can serve as a reliable, carbon-free source of baseload power that complements renewable sources such as wind, solar and hydropower generation.

In 2020, NuScale’s NPM became the first and only SMR to receive Standard Design Approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The advanced design of the NPM eliminates the need for two-thirds of the safety systems and components found in today’s large commercial reactors, which significantly improves the economics of NuScale plants compared to traditional nuclear power plants.
