• • Third Quarter 2022 Results November 11, 2022 • Mounting global support for nuclear energy continues to drive a robust pipeline of high- quality prospective customers • Recent Emergency Planning Zone methodology approval from U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) increases NuScale VOYGR™ SMR power plant options to be sited where needed most; greatly expands potential marketplace • Continued progress on five near-term strategic objectives, including advancing efforts to secure the next committed customer and ready the supply chain for production • Strong balance sheet featuring cash and cash equivalents of $268.6 million, short-term investments of $50.0 million, and no debt The level of excitement around nuclear and our industry-leading small modular reactor technology has never been greater as governments, utilities, and businesses all over the world search for near-term deployable sources of clean, reliable, and secure baseload energy. As the first and only SMR to receive NRC design approval, NuScale is well positioned to play an important role in this clean energy transition. In fact, the conversations we have today with potential customers are more about how quickly NuScale can deploy a plant rather than the technology itself.” JOHN HOPKINS President and Chief Executive Officer


 
Third Quarter 2022 Results 2 BUSINESS UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS • Continue to make progress toward securing second committed customer by year-end, supported by strong, focused and growing pipeline of high-quality prospects. Global dynamics are serving as a tailwind to accelerate interest across domestic and international customers. • Signed the first Task Order and a Statement of Commencement with Poland’s KGHM to begin work for the deployment of the first VOYGRTM SMR power plant in Poland. Under the Task Order, NuScale will support the first application to the country’s regulator for the deployment of an SMR. • Long-lead material specifications for the upper reactor pressure vessel were issued in May, and the design for the reactor building, one of the major structures of the VOYGRTM SMR power plant, was completed in July. • On track to complete Standard Plant Design and submit the Standard Design Approval Application to the NRC for the VOYGR™-6 SMR power plant by year end. This rapidly brings forward the commercial viability of NuScale’s technology. • NRC validated NuScale’s Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) sizing methodology in October. This affirms that NuScale VOYGR™ SMR power plants can achieve an EPZ limited to the plant site boundary, greatly expanding siting optionality and use case for these plants. Conventional U.S. nuclear power facilities require a 10-mile boundary. • Opened fourth Energy Exploration Center (E2) at Idaho State University last month. In addition to providing a supplementary revenue stream, the E2 control room simulator is an exciting, hands-on educational and outreach tool that simulates real-world nuclear power plant operation scenarios. FINANCIAL UPDATE Strong balance sheet, reflecting cash and equivalents of $268.6 million, short-term investments of $50.0 million, and no debt. Revenue of $3.2 million and net loss of $(49.6) million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, compared to revenue of $0.3 million and a net loss of $(27.1) million, respectively, for the same period in 2021. Revenue of $8.4 million and a net loss of $(94.4) million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, compared to revenue of $1.3 million and a net loss of $(74.4) million, respectively, for the same period in 2021.
