(NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions, today announced its financial results and operational milestones for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company delivered improvements in cash flow and continued execution across its electrolyzer, hydrogen generation, and fuel cell businesses, while advancing its leadership in global decarbonization and U.S. energy security. First-Quarter Results Revenue: Plug reported revenue of $133.7 million for Q1 2025 versus $120.3 million in Q1 2024.
