Executive summary

Nuvve Q2 FY26 — NASDAQ Delisting, Stationary Battery Focus, and Strong Pipeline

Nuvve reported Q2 FY26 results amidst its recent delisting from NASDAQ, now trading on OTCQB, which management is prioritizing to resolve within months. The company is shifting its core strategy towards owning and operating stationary batteries, particularly in Europe, Japan, and New Mexico, to build recurring cash flow and hard assets. Despite financial challenges, the business pipeline is described as the strongest in its history, supported by growing megawatts under management and a lower cost base.

Risks & headwinds

Delisting from NASDAQ Immediate priority to return to senior market within months.

Mitigation:Impacted by one-time write-down ($1.2M Troy project) and higher hardware mix; implies future improvement as mix shifts or one-time costs abate.

High cash burn from operating activities Q2 FY26

$3.6 million used in operating activities in Q2 FY26, leading to $1.4 million decrease in cash balance.

Mitigation:Anticipate improvements in cash burn resulting from lower operating costs compared to last year.

Why it matters

Crucial for investor confidence, liquidity, and access to capital markets.

We are working very hard to return to a senior market whether NASDAQ or NYSE, as fast as responsibly can. We are not treating this as a long-term project. We are treating this as an immediate priority, and we are working to a time line measured in months.

Detailed narrative

NASDAQ Delisting and Relisting Priority

Nuvve's common stock was suspended from NASDAQ on July 24, 2026, and now trades on OTCQB. The company acknowledges non-compliance with listing standards related to filing, bid price, and stockholders' equity. Management states that returning to a senior market, whether NASDAQ or NYSE, is an 'immediate priority' with a timeline 'measured in months,' focusing on business execution, balance sheet rebuilding, and staying current on filings.

Strategic Shift to Stationary Batteries

The core of Nuvve's current strategy is driving stationary batteries, with a focus on owning these assets, particularly in Europe. This approach aims to capture full energy revenue rather than service fees, thereby building a base of hard assets and recurring cash flow. The company views interconnection capacity as a scarce and valuable asset, actively securing it in key markets.

Geographic Focus - Japan

Japan is a significant contributor to Nuvve's first-half revenue, including technical service revenues tied to grid interconnection agreements. The company is actively expanding its opportunity set and securing battery interconnection capacity in this market. A Japan edition of their monthly forecasting newsletter is planned to further support this growth.

Geographic Focus - Europe and OMNIA Partnership

In Europe, Nuvve plans to put batteries on its balance sheet, owning and optimizing them on its platform to capture full energy revenue. The partnership with OMNIA is crucial for this strategy, providing projects, local execution, and capital. The company has launched a monthly forecasting newsletter covering Nordics, Austria, and Switzerland, which is built on AI-based forecasting and supports a new product offering.

Geographic Focus - United States (New Mexico)

New Mexico serves as a 'sandbox' to showcase full Nuvve deployments, including stationary storage, microgrids, and V2G fleet management on a single platform. Several battery projects, such as Kit Carson and Socorro, are underway, alongside school bus deployments in the state, demonstrating a replicable model for other regions.

Q2 FY26 Financial Overview

Total revenue increased 268% year-over-year to $1.23 million, primarily from charging station deliveries for the V2G school bus business and increased grant revenues. Net loss decreased 46% to $7 million. However, gross margins declined significantly to 2.6% due to a $1.2 million write-down related to the Troy project and a higher mix of hardware sales. The cash balance decreased to $0.5 million, with $3.6 million used in operating activities.

Megawatts Under Management and Backlog Growth

Megawatts under management grew 16.8% year-over-year to 29.9 megawatts, comprising 0.2 MW from stationary batteries and 29.7 MW from EV chargers. The hardware and service backlog increased to $5.3 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $4.4 million in the prior quarter, driven by new contracts expected to convert into sales during 2026.
