2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, we include our share of the results of our joint ventures with Renault SAS (“Renault”) named HyVia SAS, a French société par actions simplifiée (“HyVia”), AccionaPlug S.L. (“AccionaPlug”), and SK Plug Hyverse Co., Ltd. (“SK Plug Hyverse”), and our investment in Clean H2 Infra Fund, using the equity method based on our economic ownership interest and our ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of HyVia, AccionaPlug, SK Plug Hyverse and Clean H2 Infra Fund.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

The information presented in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s 2023 audited consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with our 2023 Form 10-K.

Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit

Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, the Company determined that it qualifies for the clean hydrogen production tax credit (“PTC”) under Section 45V as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) resulting from operation of the Company’s hydrogen production plant located in Georgia. The PTC is available for qualified clean hydrogen produced and sold during the 10-year period beginning on the date the qualified clean hydrogen production facility was originally placed in service. The Company has chosen elective pay, also referred to as direct pay, for the 2024 taxable year. This election makes the PTC refundable, as the Company can receive the full value of the credit from the Internal Revenue Service. This election will apply to the 2024 taxable year and the four subsequent taxable years unless

revoked. During the remaining five years of the 10-year period to receive the PTC, the Company can elect to transfer all or a portion of the PTC to a third party buyer in exchange for cash. The Company has analogized the accounting of the PTC to accounting for government grants due to the ability to receive payment for the credit regardless of whether the Company has an income tax liability. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $1.6 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as a reduction to the “fuel delivered to customers and related equipment” costs of revenue financial statement line item in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and $3.3 million as of September 30, 2024 as an increase to the “other assets” financial statement line item in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet.
