Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
NET Power Inc. (“Net Power” or the “Company”) is a clean energy technology company that has developed a proprietary process for producing electricity using a predominantly carbon dioxide working fluid that involves the capture and reuse, sale and sequestration of carbon dioxide (the “Net Power Cycle”). The Net Power Cycle is the subject of U.S. and foreign patents, as well as additional applications and provisional applications on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and international patent authorities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information; however, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and include all adjustments, which consist of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for fair statement. Certain prior period financial information has been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
NOTE 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies used to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted below, are consistent with those used for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report for the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. The estimates, judgments and assumptions made by the Company when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, asset valuations and share-based compensation were based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as amounts reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has determined that it hasone operating segment andone reportable segment, which includes all of the Company’s consolidated accounts. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM focuses on consolidated operating income (loss), with a focus on research and development and general and administrative expenses, along with interest income to assess the Company’s performance and allocate resources. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODM on the same basis as disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as total assets.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
During December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires companies to provide annually a tabular reconciliation of the reported income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations to the product of the income (or loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and the applicable statutory federal income tax rate using specified categories and to disclose separately reconciling items within certain categories with absolute values equal to or greater than five percent of the product of the income (or loss) from continuing operations before tax and the applicable statutory tax rate. Additionally, ASU 2023-09 requires a public business entity to disclose the year-to-date amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, to federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. If a payment to a single federal, state or foreign jurisdiction equals or exceeds five percent of total income taxes paid, ASU 2023-09 requires separate disclosure of that payment. Finally, ASU 2023-09 requires a public business entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign jurisdictions and to disclose income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated between federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 removes the requirement to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of reasonably possible increases or decreases in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months, or to make a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for calendar years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact to its income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses(“ASU 2024-03”), which requires new tabular disclosures in the notes to consolidated financial statements, disaggregating certain cost and expense categories within relevant captions on the consolidated statements of operations. The prescribed cost and expense categories requiring disaggregated disclosures include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, along with certain other expense disclosures already required by U.S. GAAP that would need to be integrated within the new tabular disaggregated expense disclosures. Additionally, the amendments also require the disclosure of total selling expenses and an entity's definition of those expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the new accounting standard will have on its expense disclosures.

Short-term investments are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of the short-term investments is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement because cost basis is observable, but not in an active market.
Available-for-sale Securities
The fair value of the available-for-sale investments is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement, because the investments are valued using the most recent quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.
Warrants
The Public Warrants are exercisable for 8,624,974 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Company may redeem the Public Warrants for $0.01 if the last reported trading price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock price equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period. Additionally, the Public Warrants may be redeemed if the last reported trading price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 and is below $18.00 by paying a make-whole premium. The Public Warrants expire June 8, 2028. The Public Warrants are valued using their quoted and publicly available market prices. Since their fair value is predicated on quoted prices in an active market for identical instruments, the fair value of the Public Warrants is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement.
The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for 10,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants expire June 8, 2028. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable as long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. The Private Placement Warrants and Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights.
The Company uses a Black-Scholes Merton Model to value the Private Placement Warrants. Key inputs into the Black-Scholes Merton Model include the last Class A Common Stock closing price of $2.47 as of June 30, 2025 with a strike price of $11.50 per share. The volatility assumption is based on a blended average of equity volatility of publicly traded companies within the Company’s peer group, the Company's own historical volatility, and the implied volatility of the Public Warrants. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.
The following table contains the key inputs used in the valuations of the Private Placement Warrants:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Term (in years) | 2.94 | 3.44 |
| Volatility | 79.0% | 59.3% |
| Risk-free rate | 3.6% | 4.2% |
Earnout Shares
The fair value of the Earnout Shares (as defined in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report) is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation considers daily simulated stock prices as a proxy for the Company’s daily volume-weighted average share price. Historically, the volatility assumption is based on a blended average of equity volatility of publicly traded companies within the Company’s peer group, the historical volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock, and the implied volatility of the Public Warrants. For the valuation as of June 30, 2025, the volatility assumption is based on the Company’s own historical volatility, implied volatility on the Company’s own common stock options, and the implied volatility of the Public Warrants.
The following table contains the key inputs used in the valuations of the Earnout Shares:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Term (in years) | 0.94 | 1.43 |
| Volatility | 85.0% | 59.7% |
| Risk-free rate | 3.9% | 4.1% |
NOTE 5 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represented the future economic benefits derived from the Company’s unique market position, the growth attributable to the Net Power Cycle and the Company’s assembled workforce, none of which are individually and separately recognized as intangible assets. Goodwill was allocated to the Company’s sole reportable segment and reporting unit.
The following table presents the changes to goodwill included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
| June 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| $ in thousands | 2025 | 2024 |
| Balance at the beginning of the period | $359,847 | $423,920 |
| Impairment | (359,847) | — |
| Measurement adjustments | — | (64,073) |
| Balance at the end of the period | $— | $359,847 |
In March 2025, the Company assessed its goodwill for impairment. Due to a change in the Company’s business plan, as discussed below, and related sustained decrease in the Company’s market capitalization, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its goodwill was less than its carrying amount as of March 31, 2025. As a result, the Company fully impaired its goodwill and recognized an impairment of $359.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which is included in Goodwill impairment and other charges on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company completed its estimate of deferred taxes as of the Closing Date and finalized its purchase price allocation, which resulted in a measurement adjustment that reduced goodwill by$64.1 million.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
The following tables summarize the Company’s definite-lived intangible assets included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

(1) Software includes$0.3 million and $0.6 million related to software work-in-progress asof June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
In March 2025, due to higher-than expected indicative cost estimates for its first utility-scale project, the Company identified a triggering event for evaluation of impairment of its long-term assets. As the Company is in the development stage, focusing on developing and commercializing its technology, it assessed its definite-lived intangible assets, the Demonstration Plant, and other corporate assets for impairment as an asset group. The results of the recoverability test performed in March 2025 indicated thatno impairment was required, and the Company did not identify any indicators that the asset group may be impaired as of June 30, 2025.
The following table presents the Company’s amortization expense for the following periods:

(1) As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $45 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively, of accumulated depreciation and amortization is related to amortization of the finance lease right-of-use assets.
As of December 31, 2024, Construction-in-progress in the table above includes capitalized costs related to Project Permian, the Company’s first utility-scale facility. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company initiated a value engineering process to assess the project’s feasibility and optimize its design and temporarily paused further long lead equipment releases. Consequently, $56.1 million of costs previously included in Construction-in-progress were expensed during the first quarter of 2025. This amount is included in Goodwill impairment and other charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

NOTE 8 — Leases
On March 7, 2025, the Company entered into a building lease agreement for a warehouse in La Porte, Texas that commenced in April 2025. The lease has an initial term of 62 months and contains a renewal option offive years. The future minimum lease payments associated with this lease are approximately$2.1 million.
NOTE 9 — Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests in Subsidiary
The following table presents the Company and the non-controlling interest (“NCI”) ownership percentage of the membership interests in OpCo as of the following periods:
| June 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Non-controlling interest holders | 64.4% | 64.4% |
| NET Power Inc. | 35.6% | 35.6% |
The Company measures redeemable NCI each quarter at the higher of its book value or its redemption value. As of June 30, 2025, the Company measured redeemable NCI at book value. As of December 31, 2024, the Company measured redeemable NCI atredemption value. The adjustment to record redeemable NCI at book or redemption value is recorded through Additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated statement of mezzanine shareholders' equity and shareholders' equity.
OpCo’s net loss before income tax was attributed to redeemable NCI holders at 64.4% and 66.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. OpCo’s net loss before income tax was attributed to redeemable NCI holders at 64.4% and 66.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
NOTE 10 — Share-Based Compensation
The following table presents the aggregate share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the following periods:

| Share-based compensation expense | $13,907 | $8,531 | $24,103 | $14,800 |
Performance Stock Units
As of June 30, 2025, there was$1.1 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested performance stock units (“PSUs”).
During the second quarter of 2025, there were 524,000 PSUs awarded to certain executives for which the vesting occurs upon the achievement of specific market-based conditions related to the Company’s financial performance over athree-year period, modified based on the Company’s Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and subject to final vesting based on the participant’s continued employment through the end of the requisite service period. The amount of awards that will ultimately vest for the PSU can range from 0% to 200% based on the TSR calculated over athree-year period. The fair value of the PSUs was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation model and is being expensed over thethree-year vesting period. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of these awards were:
| Weighted average expected life | 3 years |
|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rates | 3.9% |
| Expected volatility | 80.0% |
The following table presents a summary of PSU activity as of June 30, 2025 and the changes during the six months ended June 30, 2025:
| In thousands, except per share data | Quantity | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested, beginning of period | 128 | $16.24 |

As of June 30, 2025, there was $4.5 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to stock options.
The stock options granted to employees during the second quarter of 2025 veston theone-year anniversary of the date of grant. The Company will recognize compensation expense from the grant date through the expected vesting date. The fair value of the Company’s stock option grants was estimated utilizing the following assumptions using the Black-Scholes Merton model:
| Weighted average expected life | 3 years |
|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rates | 3.87% |
| Expected volatility | 86.0% |
The following table presents a summary of stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

| Forfeited | (30) | 2.13 |
| Unvested, end of period | 6,506 | $5.60 |
Restricted Stock Units
As of June 30, 2025, there was $7.4 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period ofthree years.
Generally, RSUs granted to employees and the majority of executives either cliff-vest on thethree-year anniversary of the date of grant or vest ratably on each anniversary of the date of grant over athree-year period. Annual awards granted to independent directors cliff-vest on the first anniversary of each award’s grant date.
The following table presents a summary of RSU activity during the six months ended June 30, 2025:
| In thousands, except per share data | Quantity | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |

| Unvested, end of period | 3,530 | $7.29 |
Refer to Note 13 — Related Party Transactions for information related to the BHES JDA.
NOTE 11 — Loss per Share
Basic loss per share attributable to shareholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share attributable to shareholders includes the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share for the following periods:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In thousands, except per share data | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Numerator | ||||
| Net loss after income tax | $(82,047) | $(17,217) | $(455,633) | $(58,849) |
| Net loss attributable to NET Power Inc. | $(28,142) | $(4,268) | $(147,492) | $(15,689) |
| Denominator | ||||
| Weighted-average number shares outstanding, basic and diluted | 77,699 | 72,177 | 77,350 | 72,036 |
| Loss per share attributable to shareholders, basic and diluted | $(0.36) | $(0.06) | $(1.91) | $(0.22) |
Only shares of Class A Common Stock participate in the Company’s undistributed earnings. As such, the Company’s undistributed earnings are allocated entirely to the Class A Common Stock based on the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Based on the amounts outstanding at June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company excluded the following financial instruments from the computation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
| In thousands | June 30, | |

NOTE 12 — Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2025, the Company estimated its annual effective tax rate to be 1.96%, and recorded a deferred income tax benefit of $1.6 million and $1.2 million for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025. The annual effective tax rate varies from the statutory federal income tax rate due to amounts allocated to NCI, changes in the Company’s valuation allowance and other permanent items.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements, however, do not expect a material impact to the financial statements at this time.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In March 2025, due to the Company’s decision to pause new purchase commitments for Project Permian’s long-lead equipment and commencement of a value engineering exercise to determine project cost reductions and better understand Project Permian’s expected economic feasibility, the Company determined it was not more likely than not that its deferred tax assets subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) would be realized and therefore, reduced the TRA liability to zero as payments under the TRA were not considered probable. Accordingly, in March 2025, the Company recognized a $21.3 million reduction in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, which is recorded in Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
On May 12, 2025, pursuant to its rights under the TRA, the Company delivered to the agent of the TRA holders notice of the Company’s intent to terminate the TRA (the “Early Termination Notice”). No early termination payment was payable for any TRA holder. The Early Termination Notice became final and binding on June 12, 2025.

Master Services Agreements
A significant shareholder provides the Company with patent administration services related to the development of the Net Power Cycle. These totals are included in General and administrative on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Another shareholder supports the Company with regard to general business oversight and with the operation of the Demonstration Plant. These totals are reflected in Research and development on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
BHES JDA
On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into the Original JDA, which was subsequently amended and restated on June 30, 2022 and December 13, 2022 with BHES to invest in, develop, and deploy the Net Power Cycle in collaboration with the Company. The BHES JDA is settled in cash and issuances of equity in exchange for services related to the development and commercialization of the technology. The Company records the expense for services provided by BHES within Research and development on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Upon the issuance of shares during the six months ended June 30, 2025, BHES’s ownership interest exceeded 5%; therefore, it is considered a related party for all periods presented.
The portion of BHES JDA costs that the Company pays with Class A OpCo Units and shares of Class B Common Stock is recorded within Additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statement of mezzanine shareholders' equity and shareholders' equity. The following tables display the expense recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for shares distributed as payment for services rendered under the terms of the BHES JDA during the periods described below:

Shares issued as payment under the terms of the Amended and Restated JDA are issued at a discount expected to cause a total loss of approximately$17.5 million to the Company over the term of the agreement. The Company has incurred inception-to-date losses of$11.7 million related to such issuances. Additionally, if the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s stock forten consecutive trading days (“10-Day VWAP”) immediately preceding the payment date for services under the BHES JDA is less than $4.00 per share (the “Floor Price”), an incremental cash payment is required for the difference between the 10-Day VWAP and the Floor Price (the “BHES JDA Make-Whole Payment”). As of June 30, 2025, the Company had$1.3 million incurrent liabilities payable to related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the BHES JDA Make-Whole Payment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $1.4 million and $3.9 million related to the BHES JDA Make-Whole Payment.
BHES may earn additional shares (“BHES Bonus Shares”) if it meets certain proposed project milestones related to the development of our technology. The Company determined that BHES’s achievement of each of these milestones is probable; therefore, the Company recognizes the compensation cost associated with milestone share-based payments ratably over the expected service period. The following table disaggregates the variable share-based compensation payable to BHES should it meet its milestone objectives:
| $ in thousands | Performance Period End Date | Compensation Cost Incurred To Date | Remaining Compensation Cost | Total Compensation Cost |

BHES Limited Notice to Proceed
Through June 30, 2025, the Company has incurred$41.5 million under a Letter of Limited Notice to Proceed forthe Purchase of KPEP Long Lead Time Items with BHES (the “BHES LNTP”), as amended, for the purchase of long-lead materials necessary for the procurement and manufacture of the turboexpander and related key process equipment and machinery for the Company’s first utility-scale power plant, along with related fees and services.
NOTE 14 — Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal actions and claims. Other than any such ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business and except as described below, the Company is not currently a party to, nor is our property currently subject to, any material legal proceedings, and the Company is not aware of any such proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.
On April 18, 2025, an alleged stockholder of the Company (the “Plaintiff”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer and its former President and Chief Operating Officer (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (the “Complaint”). The Complaint purports to bring a federal securities class action on behalf of a class of persons and entities other than the Defendants who acquired the Company’s securities between June 9, 2023 and March 7, 2025 and asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants made materially false and misleading statements related to the Company’s business, operations and prospects, including the timing and costs of developing Project Permian. The Plaintiff seeks, among other things, certification of a class, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, interest, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees.
On May 29, 2025, an alleged stockholder of the Company, filed a derivative suit on behalf of the Company against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer, its former President and Chief Operating Officer and its board of directors in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and violations of federal securities laws (the “Derivative Complaint”). These claims are predicated on the same allegedly false and misleading statements regarding the time and capital needed to complete Project Permian that are the subject of the Complaint outlined above.
The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims brought in both matters. In light of the complexity and ongoing and uncertain nature of the outstanding proceedings and inquiries, at this time we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible financial loss or range of financial loss, if any, that we may incur to resolve or settle these matters.
Asset Retirement Obligation
Under the terms of the lease for the Demonstration Plant, the Company is required to remove the Demonstration Plant and restore the land to post-clearing grade level. During 2024, the Company revised the estimate of its asset retirement obligation as a result of additional construction at the Demonstration Plant. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of the asset retirement obligation as of the dates presented:
