SLINGERLANDS, N.Y., Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen economy, today reported third quarter 2026 results, delivering approximately $201 million in revenue, significant year-over-year gross margin improvement, and record-low quarterly net cash usage of approximately $28 million.
Results reflect continued progress across Plug's three business priorities: sales growth, margin enhancement, and improved cash flows, supported by disciplined execution, and commercial progress across material handling, electrolyzers and hydrogen supply.
"Our third quarter results reflect continued progress toward a stronger, more profitable Plug," said Jose Luis Crespo, Chief Executive Officer of Plug. "We grew revenue, improved margins, and significantly reduced cash usage through disciplined execution. Commercially, we advanced key customer projects, including our 280 MW Arcadia eFuels agreement and broader partnership covering more than 1 GW of potential projects. Our focus remains on improving operating leverage, delivering on customer commitments and building sustainable growth."
Key Third Quarter Highlights
- Revenue increased approximately 13% year over year to ~$201 million, compared with ~$177 million in Q3 2025.
- Gross margin improved for the quarter to ~(3%), compared with ~(68%) in Q3 2025, reflecting cost reductions, improved operating leverage and lower inventory valuation adjustments.
- Operating expenses declined approximately 69% year over year to ~$70 million, compared with approximately $229 million in Q3 2025, reflecting reduced unusual charges and continued execution of Project Quantum Leap.
- GAAP Basic EPS was approximately $0.07, compared with $(0.31) in the prior-year period. The results for Q3 included non-cash mark-to-market gains associated with equity instruments of ~$192 million, or approximately $0.12 positive of an impact. This gain was the primary reason the EPS was positive this quarter, however, even without this impact, the adjusted EPS reflects underlying business improvement.
- Net cash usage, defined as the net change in cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) for the quarter, improved to approximately $28 million, compared with approximately $61 million in Q2 2026, reflecting continued improvement in underlying business performance.
Commercial & Operational Execution
Plug continued advancing customer commitments and commercial opportunities across its core businesses, supporting near-term performance and its pipeline for 2027 and beyond.
Material Handling
Plug's material handling business continues to demonstrate the value of hydrogen fuel cells in high-throughput operations. GenDrive's fast fueling, consistent power, and high utilization help customers reduce downtime, labor, and infrastructure costs while supporting recurring equipment, service, and hydrogen demand.
Quarter Highlights
- Deployed 1,136 GenDrive fuel cell units in the quarter, more than doubling deployments of 540 units in Q3 2025 (up 110% year over year).
- Service margin was ~31% positive for the quarter. The Company has seen continued improvement in unit performance, driven by increased reliability, and in turn this is enabling the Company to increase units per service tech, which drives improved overhead leverage.
- Next-Generation GenDrive Innovation: During the third quarter, Plug advanced development of next-generation GenDrive fuel cell solutions designed to improve efficiency, extend stack life, and increase reliability. These enhancements are expected to improve customer economics and fleet uptime while supporting new orders and fleet refresh opportunities.
GenEco Electrolyzers
Plug continued advancing its global electrolyzer opportunity funnel, converting commercial opportunities into projects across sustainable fuels, ammonia production, and industrial hydrogen applications.
Quarter Highlights
- Arcadia eFuels: Signed a 280 MW GenEco electrolyzer supply agreement for Project ENDOR in Denmark for e-SAF production, alongside a strategic cooperation agreement positioning Plug as the preferred supplier for more than 1 GW of potential e-SAF projects across Europe and the Americas.
- Orica: Secured a 50 MW GenEco electrolyzer order for Australia's Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub following the project's final investment decision (FID), advancing one of Australia's largest renewable hydrogen developments into execution.
- HWR Hydrogen: Shipped a 1 MW GenEco electrolyzer to New Zealand to support hydrogen production for heavy-duty transportation.
- Iberdrola and Galp: Continued execution and commissioning activities for the 25 MW Iberdrola-bp project in Spain and the 100 MW Galp project in Portugal.
European Market Opportunity
Europe remains a strategic growth market for Plug. The implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III), along with energy security and energy independence, priorities are strengthening demand signals for renewable hydrogen in refining, transportation, and sustainable aviation fuels.
With established customer relationships and major deployments across Europe, including Galp, Iberdrola-bp and Carlton Power, Plug is positioned to compete as regulatory momentum, resilience, and energy security priorities and infrastructure development support future investment decisions.
Hydrogen Production
Plug continued optimizing its integrated hydrogen production network, focusing on improving fuel economics, and supporting recurring customer demand.
Quarter Highlights
- Fuel revenue increased ~6% year over year to ~$38 million, reflecting continued growth in the hydrogen product line across Plug’s expanding customer base.
- Fuel gross margin improved to ~(52%) from ~(79%) in the prior-year quarter, driven by increased average selling prices, lower average cost of purchase fuel, improved plant utilization, production efficiency, and hydrogen network optimization.
- The Company continues to advance initiatives focused on reducing hydrogen product and logistics costs and improving network efficiency to strengthen its margin profile, with further progress expected in the coming quarters.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity
Plug continued strengthening its financial foundation through improved operating performance, disciplined cash management, and reduced capital requirements.
- Net cash usage declined to approximately $28 million, a reduction of approximately 54% sequentially. Based on the current forecast, the Company anticipates that cash usage may be relatively flat for Q4 2026.
- Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, totaled approximately $134 million at quarter-end.
- No proceeds were raised through the Company's ATM program or other equity or debt capital raises during the quarter.
The improvement in net cash usage reflects underlying business performance rather than capital raising activities. Plug remains focused on sustaining this progress through improved operating leverage, working capital management, and disciplined capital expenditures.
Outlook
Plug remains focused on its 2026 revenue growth guidance of 15% to 16% and its target of positive EBITDAS in Q4 2026, supported by executing on its pipeline, improving margins, continued cost discipline, and overall commercial execution.
Growing energy demand, European regulations and energy security priorities continue to drive hydrogen adoption. These opportunities will be explored at “Plug Symposium 2026: Strengthening Energy Security. Powering Energy Independence.”, a global digital broadcast on November 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET, featuring customers, industry leaders and Plug executives discussing energy security, grid resilience, regulations and real-world hydrogen projects.

Footnotes to the Press Release
EBITDAS, which the Company defines as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation, amortization and share-based expense, is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s EBITDAS-positive target for Q4 2026 is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure that cannot be reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), without unreasonable efforts. This is because the Company is not able to forecast with reasonable accuracy certain items required for such reconciliation, including interest expense associated with financial arrangements, income taxes, and other non-cash or infrequent charges. These items are inherently uncertain, depend on future events outside of management’s control, and could materially affect the Company’s GAAP results. The Company provides this target to give investors insight into the direction of its operational objectives rather than as a prediction of GAAP earnings.
