Temple reviewed • • First Quarter 2023 Results May 9, 2023 • Meaningful progress on 2023 strategic objectives, reflecting focus on growing business pipeline and ensuring readiness to deliver on commitments to existing customers • Completed important work for the Carbon Free Power Project and RoPower, NuScale’s committed customers • Strengthened customer pipeline with developments in Poland, Indonesia and Korea • Progressed second Standard Design Approval application to the technical review phase by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) • Placed first long-lead material order with Doosan Enerbility to produce forgings and materials essential to manufacturing the first NuScale Power Modules NuScale continues to build momentum towards commercialization as we transition to product delivery for our existing customers while growing our robust customer pipeline. We are seeing an acceleration of interest as more stakeholders around the world look for zero-carbon energy sources, and as appreciation grows for the critical role that small modular reactors (SMR) will play in the global energy transition. As the first and only SMR to receive NRC design approval and certification, and with manufacturing of our NuScale Power Modules set to start later this year, NuScale is proud to lead the charge and help demonstrate that SMR technology is a safe, scalable and reliable way to deliver clean energy across the globe.” JOHN HOPKINS President and Chief Executive Officer


 
First Quarter 2023 Results 2 BUSINESS UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS • Effectively progressed the Carbon Free Power Project, including working with the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) to advance the Combined License application (COLA) toward completion and develop a Class 2 cost estimate for the project. • Continued Phase 1 Front-End Engineering and Design work for RoPower and completed key activities such as defining major site and site-specific inputs for NuScale’s VOYGR™-6 power plant, which will be deployed on the site of a decommissioned coal-fired power plant in Romania. • Business development advanced in Poland, Indonesia and Korea demonstrating NuScale’s robust customer pipeline and underscoring interest and support for NuScale and its SMR technology. o In Poland, KGHM submitted an application to the Ministry of Climate and Environment to issue a fundamental decision to build an SMR power plant in the country. o In Indonesia, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency awarded a grant to Indonesia Power for technical assistance to develop the country’s first SMR in partnership with NuScale. o In Korea, NuScale signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Doosan Enerbility and the Export- Import Bank of Korea to strengthen their collaboration and support NuScale’s SMR deployment. • NuScale’s second Standard Design Approval (SDA) application for its uprated VOYGR™-6 SMR power plant progressed to technical review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. NuScale expects the SDA application to be accepted for review this year and ultimately earn approval of the updated SDA in-line with its project schedule. The uprated 77 MWe module will support the capacity needs of a wider range of customers. • Ordered long-lead materials with Doosan Enerbility to produce components critical to manufacturing the first NuScale Power Modules™ (NPM), marking a key step in the transition from planning to product delivery. Doosan has since commenced production of NPM forgings, which will provide the materials required for the manufacturing process to begin later this year. • Earned the highly regarded ISO 9001:2015 certification, which reinforces that NuScale’s quality management standards and controls are scalable and repeatable across the globe, further validating NuScale’s technology to stakeholders worldwide. FINANCIAL UPDATE Strong balance sheet with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $252 million ($34 million of which is restricted), and no debt.
