Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
References in this Quarterly Report to "we," "us" and "our" and to "Nuvve" and the "Company" are to Nuvve Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
We are a green energy technology company that provides, directly and through business ventures with our partners, a globally-available, commercial V2G technology and distributed energy resources platform that enables EV and stationary batteries to store and resell unused energy back to the local electric grid and provide other grid services. Our proprietary V2G technology - Grid Integrated Vehicle ("GIVe") platform - has the potential to refuel the next generation of EV fleets through cutting-edge, bi-directional charging solutions.
Our proprietary V2G technology enables us to link multiple EV and stationary batteries into a virtual power plant to provide bi-directional services to the electrical grid. Our GIVe software platform was created to harness capacity from "loads" at the edge of the distribution grid (i.e., aggregation of EVs and small stationary batteries) in a qualified, controlled and secure manner to provide many of the grid services typically offered by conventional generation sources (i.e., coal and natural gas plants). Our current addressable energy and capacity markets include grid services such as frequency regulation, demand charge management, demand response, energy optimization, distribution grid services and energy arbitrage.
Our customers and partners include owner/operators of light duty fleets, heavy duty fleets (including school buses), automotive manufacturers, charge point operators, and strategic partners (via joint ventures, other business ventures and special purpose financial vehicles). We also operate a small number of company-owned charging stations serving as demonstration projects funded by government grants. We expect reductions in company-owned charging stations and the related government grant funding, and such projects to constitute a declining percentage of our future business as our commercial operations expand.
We offer our customers networked charging stations, infrastructure, batteries, software, professional services, support, monitoring and parts and labor warranties required to run electric vehicle fleets, grid modernization, energy storage and management, as well as low and in some cases free energy costs. We expect to generate revenue primarily from the provision of services to the grid via our GIVe software platform and sales of V2G-enabled charging stations and batteries. In the case of light duty fleet and heavy duty fleet customers, we also may receive a mobility fee, which is a recurring fixed payment made by fleet customers per fleet vehicle. In addition, we may generate non-recurring engineering services revenue derived from the integration of our technology with automotive original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and charge point operators. In the case of recurring grid services revenue generated via automotive OEM and charge point operator customer integrations, we may also share the recurring grid services revenue with the customer.
Deep Impact
On August 16, 2024, we formed Deep Impact 1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Deep Impact"), with Nuvve CPO Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary ("Nuvve CPO"), and WISE EV-LLC ("WISE"). We hold a 51% equity interest by way of Nuvve CPO, and WISE holds a 49% equity interest. Deep Impact is an entity formed for the principal purpose of operation, installation, maintenance of electric vehicle chargers and other related activities and services created as a business venture between us, Nuvve CPO and WISE. Nuvve CPO Inc., or Nuvve Charge Point Operator, was established in August 2024 to support the deployment and ongoing support of our customers charging station networks.
In connection with Deep Impact, Nuvve CPO, WISE and Deep Impact entered into a Contribution and Unit Purchase Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement"), pursuant to which Nuvve CPO and WISE agreed to contribute $51 and $49, respectively, to Deep Impact, and to provide certain services pursuant to separate services agreements with Deep Impact. For such contributions and the services, Nuvve CPO received 51 membership units in Deep Impact, equal to a 51% equity interest, and WISE received 49 membership units in Deep Impact, equal to a 49% equity interest.
We have determined that Deep Impact is a variable interest entity ("VIE") in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidate Deep Impact and record a non-controlling interest for the share of the entity owned by WISE. Deep Impact had limited business operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025.
Fermata Energy II LLC
On April 25, 2025, we, Fermata Energy LLC ("Seller"), and the former noteholders of the Seller (the "Preferred Members"), entered into a series of definitive agreements to effect the acquisition of substantially all of the Seller's assets by Fermata Energy II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Fermata"). As a result of the transaction, we hold a 51% equity interest in Fermata as the sole common units member of Fermata entity, and the Preferred Members collectively hold the remaining 49% equity interest in the form of Fermata's entity class A preferred units. Fermata is an entity formed for the principal purpose of developing and commercializing energy management and bidirectional charging technology solutions.
Nuvve New Mexico LLC
In April 2025, we formed Nuvve New Mexico LLC, a new subsidiary created to support our recently awarded State of New Mexico contract. The new entity serves as a regional representative company, ensuring the successful execution of the contract and the expansion of our innovative energy solutions across the state. Additionally, Nuvve New Mexico continues to pursue follow-on opportunities in New Mexico, including fleet electrification, charging infrastructure, and grid modernization projects with public-sector and cooperative utility customers. We hold majority membership interest in Nuvve New Mexico LLC as the Class A units holder. Other members admitted into the Nuvve New Mexico LLC through subscription as investors hold the Class B units. As of March 31, 2026, three members have been admitted as a Class B unit members with an aggregate subscription of 300,000 Class B units at $1.00 per unit.
Omnia Global Agreements
On March 6, 2026, we entered into a cooperation agreement (the "Cooperation Agreement") between and among ourselves, Oelion AB, a company organized under the laws of Sweden ("Oelion"), and OMNIA Group Holdings AG, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland ("Omnia"). Concurrently with entry into the Cooperation Agreement we, Oelion and Omnia also entered into (i) a service agreement for engineering and managerial consulting services (the "Managerial Services Agreement") and (ii) an aggregation service agreement for battery energy storage system (BESS) (the "Aggregation Service Agreement" and together with the Cooperation Agreement and the Managerial Services Agreement, the "Omnia Global Agreements").
Pursuant to the Omnia Global Agreements, we have acquired (i) an option regarding an assignment of a 50 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project located at Marviken, Sweden (the "Envisaged Project") and to hold an interconnection agreement with the relevant grid operator regarding the interconnection of the Envisaged Project to the electricity grid (the "Interconnector Agreement"), (ii) a right of first refusal, and (iii) an exclusive right to provide energy aggregation services as well as engineering and managerial consulting services to any new project of Omnia and its affiliates in Europe. Pursuant to the Managerial Services Agreement we will provide our technology and expertise in management of advanced energy storage and grid modernization solutions and will receive payments from Omnia in the first year of approximately $1,345,389 and with a continuing term of twenty years, subject to customary termination provisions. In consideration for this, we have agreed to issue, subject to the accomplishment of various contractual and operational milestones, 814,532 shares of Common Stock, (the "Common Stock Consideration"), which was equivalent to approximately 19.9% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the date of execution of the Cooperation Agreement representing an aggregate value of approximately $1,018,165 as of the close of trading on March 5, 2026, and, subject to prior stockholder approval and the accomplishment of various contractual and
operational milestones, shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Nuvve (the "Preferred Stock Consideration"). At the June Special Meeting, our stockholders approved the issuance of the Preferred Stock Consideration, subject to completion of the requisite milestones, per the Cooperation Agreement.
Backlog
Our total backlog represents the estimated future transaction price values for unsatisfied and partially satisfied estimated product and service deliveries to our customers. Backlog is generally determined based upon customer issued purchased orders or contracts with customers. Backlog does not include agreements we have with customers to earn future grid service revenues. Backlog is converted into revenue in future periods as we satisfy the performance obligations to our customers for our products and services, primarily based on the cost incurred or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable accounting method.
Our estimated backlog as of March 31, 2026, was $4.4 million, which we expect to earn in future periods. We anticipate recognizing revenue from this backlog from 2026 through 2027.

NM - Not Meaningful
Revenue
Total revenue was $1.39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.46 million, or 49.1%. The increase was primarily attributable to $0.44 million of technical service revenue earned for a grid interconnection agreement by our Nuvve Japan subsidiary as a performance obligation in a larger stationary battery project, and a $0.14 million increase in grants, partially offset by a $0.12 million decrease in products revenue due to lower customers sales orders and shipments. Products and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, consisted of DC Chargers and AC Chargers of $0.44 million, grid services revenue of $0.01 million, and engineering services of $0.70 million.
Cost of Products and Services Revenue
Cost of products and services revenue was $0.74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.18 million, or 32.2%. The increase was primarily due to higher costs of products revenue driven primarily by higher replacement warranty costs of certain discontinued DC Chargers.
Products margin decreased by 44.8% to negative 32.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 12.8% in the same prior year period driven by higher replacement warranty costs of certain discontinued DC Chargers in the current quarter. Services margin increased by 2.8% to 77.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 74.5% in the same prior year period due to a technical service revenue from our Nuvve Japan subsidiary of $0.44 million and $0.06 million in related cost of services.
Products and services margin increased by 2.7% to 35.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 32.6% in the same prior year period. Margin was positively impacted by higher mix of engineering services, and a lower mix of hardware charging stations partially offset by higher replacement warranty costs of certain DC Chargers in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of selling, marketing, advertising, payroll, administrative, legal finance, and professional expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an decrease of $0.2 million, or 3.7%.
The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to decrease in information technology related expenses of $0.2 million, decrease in legal fees expenses of $0.1 million, decrease in in compensation expenses of $0.1 million, including share-based compensation, and decrease in professional fees of $0.1 million, partially offset by increase in public company related costs of $0.1 million, increase in insurance expenses of $0.1 million, and increase in office related expenses of $0.1 million.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.7 million, or 81.7%. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to increases in compensation expenses and subcontractor expenses used to advance our platform functionality and integration with more vehicles and stationary batteries.
Other Income, net
Other income, net consists primarily of interest expense, change in fair value of convertible notes, change in fair value of warrants liability and derivative liability, and other income (expense).
Other income, net was $0.24 million in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.29 million of other income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1.53 million. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to the change in fair values of the convertible notes and warrants liability, and increase in sublease income related to the subleasing of part of our main office space (See Note 16 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), partially offset by increase in interest expense on debt obligations.
Income Taxes
In each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded no material income tax expenses. The income tax expenses during each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were minimal primarily due to operating losses that receive no tax benefits as a result of a valuation allowance recorded for such losses.
Net Loss
Net loss was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 18.5%. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to an increase in other income of $1.5 million, an increase of $0.5 million in revenue, and an increase in total operating expenses of $0.7 million.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.43 million, compared to $0.01 million net income attributable to non-controlling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net loss is allocated to non-controlling interests in proportion to the relative ownership interests of the holders of non-controlling interests in the entities. Please see Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed descriptions of the non-controlling interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
We are still an early-stage business enterprise. We have not yet demonstrated a sustained ability to generate sufficient revenue from sales of our technology and services or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for the successful commercialization of our GIVe platform. We have not yet achieved profitability and have experienced substantial net losses, and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred operating losses of approximately $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our cash used in operations was $6.0 million as of the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had a cash balance, working capital deficit, and total deficit of $1.7 million, $2.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. We have funded our business operations primarily with the issuance of equity, debt obligations and cash from operations. We plan to fund current operations through debt obligations, increased revenues and raising additional capital. Please see below for details. However, there can be no assurance we will be successful in raising necessary funds in the future, on acceptable terms or at all.
Shelf Registration Statement
On June 27, 2025, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC which allows us, subject to limitations under the baby shelf rules discussed below, to issue unspecified amounts of common stock, preferred stock, warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock or preferred stock, debt securities, and units consisting of any combination of any of the foregoing securities, in one or more series, from time to time and in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $300.0 million. The shelf registration statement was declared effective on July 7, 2025. Our ability to utilize the full capacity of our shelf registration, or any future shelf registration on Form S-3, is limited by our compliance with the baby shelf rules. Pursuant to the "baby shelf rules" promulgated by the SEC, if our public float is less than $75.0 million as of specified measurement periods, the number of securities that may be offered and sold by us under a Form S-3 registration statement, including pursuant to our shelf registration statement, in any twelve-month period is limited to an aggregate amount that does not exceed one-third of our public float. As a result, we will be limited by the baby shelf rules until such time our public float exceeds $75 million, which means we only have the capacity to sell shares up to one-third of our public float under shelf registration statements in any twelve-month period.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 30, 2025, pursuant to a private placement offering, we issued an aggregate of 333 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 140,825 shares of Common Stock to certain institutional investors. We received aggregate proceeds of $5,400,000, net of a 10% original issue discount (gross stated value of $6,000,000) or $900 purchase price per share of each Series A convertible preferred stock and accompanying warrants prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we issued an aggregate of 114 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 141,130 shares of Common Stock to certain institutional investors. We received aggregate proceeds of $1,850,000, net of a 10% original issue discount (gross stated value of $2,055,556).
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, certain Private Placement Investors may elect to purchase additional shares of Preferred Shares with an aggregate stated value of up to $25 million (the "Additional Investment Right") and accompanying additional warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the "AIR Warrants"). Such Preferred Shares and AIR Warrants shall have identical terms to the Preferred Shares and Private Placement Warrants issued at the private placement offering above, provided that the initial conversion price and exercise price, as applicable, of such Preferred Shares and AIR Warrants (the "AIR Price") shall be equal to the greater of (A) the lesser of (i) 90% of the arithmetic average of the five lowest intraday trading prices occurring during any time during the 10 trading days prior to the exercise of such Additional Investment Right and (ii) the conversion price of the outstanding Preferred Shares and/or exercise price of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants the in effect and (B) the Floor Price. Additionally the Private Placement Investors shall, commencing on the six-month anniversary of the private placement offering date and during every six months thereafter, the Purchasers shall either exercise Additional Investments or the Private Placement Warrants, for gross proceeds to us of at least $4.0 million until the we have received at least $20.0 million in gross proceeds, provided the Private Placement Investors shall have no obligation to exercise such Additional Investment Right every six months if during such period the AIR Price does not equal or exceed the Floor Price.
The Equity Line of Credit Facility
On December 1, 2025, we entered into a Common Shares Purchase Agreement with certain investors relating to an equity line of credit facility (the "ELOC Facility"), whereby we have the right from time to time at our option to sell to the Facility Investors up to $25 million of our Common Stock subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, we have not activated the ELOC Facility: therefore, no common stock sales have been made under the ELOC Facility. On May 12, 2026, we agreed to terminate the ELOC Facility and no common stock sales were made under the ELOC Facility

Purchase Commitments
On July 20, 2021, we issued a purchase order ("PO") to our supplier, Rhombus Energy Solutions, Inc. ("Rhombus"), for a quantity of DC Chargers and dispensers for EVs ("DC Chargers"), for a total price of $13.2 million. As previously disclosed, a dispute (the "Dispute") arose as to the PO, and an arbitration proceeding was initiated.
On February 2, 2024 (the "Settlement Date"), we and Rhombus entered into a settlement and release agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to pay Rhombus approximately $0.46 million for certain initial DC Chargers within 15 days from the Settlement Date. We further agreed to pay Rhombus an aggregate of $2.40 million or certain DC Chargers upon shipment with payments correlating to the amounts shipped due prior to shipment, a minimum of 50% of which shall be paid within 12 months after the Settlement date, with the remaining balance, if any, to be paid within 24 months after the Settlement Date. The Settlement Agreement further provides for the dismissal of the legal action as to us and Rhombus. We and Rhombus agreed to release one another from any and all claims relating to the Dispute.
On February 21, 2025, we initiated a legal action against Rhombus related to its refusal to honor certain warranty and commissioning obligations with respect to DC Chargers we purchased from Rhombus. Rhombus has in turn filed a demand for an arbitration claiming that we breached terms of the previous settlement agreement between us and Rhombus by failing to purchase additional DC Chargers. We believe we do not have any obligation to purchase additional non-conforming DC Chargers. Therefore, we believe that Rhombus's position does not have any merit, and we intend to exercise all available rights and remedies in our legal action against Rhombus. The outcome of any such proceedings are inherently uncertain, and the amount and/or timing of any gains or expenses resulting from such proceedings is not reasonably estimable at this time.

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.0 million as compared to net cash used of $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $4.2 million increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to higher use of cash for working capital during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same prior year period. Working capital during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was impacted by, among other items, increase in operating expenses. Additionally, improved timing and management of vendor terms compared to the cash settlement of such items contributed to higher use of cash for working capital.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there was no cash use for investing activities as compared to net cash used for investing activities of $0.01 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
