Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed on August 27, 2025, by NuScale Power Corporation (the "Company"). The filing discloses the entry into a Material Definitive Agreement by NuScale Power, LLC ("NuScale LLC"), a subsidiary of the Company, with ENTRA1 Energy LLC ("ENTRA1").
Key Financial Metrics and Agreement Terms
The filing details a Partnership Milestones Agreement (PMA) rather than standard periodic financial results. Key financial terms include:

- Disbursement Structure: Payments are tranche-based and contingent on milestones:
- 15% upon execution of a non-binding term sheet or similar agreement with a third party.
- 35% upon execution of a binding power purchase agreement or delivery of NPMs.
- 50% upon execution of an original equipment manufacturing agreement or binding purchase documentation.
- Guaranty: The Company has entered into a guaranty agreement to secure NuScale LLC's obligations under the PMA.

Note: This filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity figures for the Company.
Material Changes and Strategic Developments
The primary material change is the formalization of a strategic supplier relationship with ENTRA1. The PMA reflects historical commercial understandings and integrates NuScale's pricing structure for future projects. The agreement establishes a long-term framework (extending to 2045) for NuScale to supply SMR technology equipment for ENTRA1's contemplated energy projects.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary and Outlook: The Company expects the PMA to advance ENTRA1's energy projects and accelerate the deployment of NPMs. The agreement is designed to trigger payments only upon the successful achievement of commercial and developmental milestones.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes extensive forward-looking statement disclaimers. Key risks identified include:
- Liquidity constraints and the ability to raise capital.
- Failure to meet cost and schedule estimates or project delays.
- Regulatory approval uncertainties for SMR deployment.
- Partner performance failures and client cancellations.
- Macroeconomic conditions, trade policy changes, and supply chain disruptions.
- Insolvency or bankruptcy of either party, which serves as a termination trigger for the PMA.
