Plug Power Inc. (ISIN US72919P2020) reported sharply higher revenue but a wider loss for fiscal 2023, and Plug Power stock now trades with investors watching the companys liquidity plan and capital structure after recent fundraising actions.
Revenue up 27 percent in 2023
According to Plug Powers Form 10-K filing for fiscal 2023, the company generated revenue of $891.3 million in 2023, an increase of about 27 percent compared with $701.4 million in 2022, as hydrogen fuel sales and electrolyzer shipments expanded across North America and Europe.
The same 2023 annual report shows that Plug Power recorded a gross loss of $283.5 million in 2023 versus a gross loss of $162.0 million in 2022, reflecting higher hydrogen production costs and ramp-up expenses at new plants as the company scales its green hydrogen network.
In that 2023 period, Plug Power reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.38 billion, compared with a net loss of $724.0 million in 2022, underlining the heavy investment phase the company is in as it builds out production, logistics, and service infrastructure for hydrogen solutions.
Cash burn and liquidity remain central
Plug Powers 2023 cash flow statement indicates that net cash used in operating activities reached $1.58 billion in 2023, up from $724.0 million in 2022, as working capital requirements and operating losses increased while the firm built out manufacturing and hydrogen production capacity.
To support this spending, Plug Power reported total cash and cash equivalents of $135.0 million at the end of 2023 along with restricted cash of $555.9 million, and it highlighted access to additional liquidity through credit facilities, project financings, and potential equity issuances as it seeks to finance its expansion plans.
The companys balance sheet for 31 December 2023 lists total assets of roughly $6.5 billion and total liabilities of about $3.0 billion, including long-term debt, equipment financing obligations, and customer-related liabilities tied to long-term service and hydrogen supply agreements.
