Plug Power Success

Continuing to lead the commercialization of fuel cells

• Our experience remains unmatched with more than 122 million hours of fuel-cells in service; this is

significantly higher than any competitor

Leveraging the ProGen fuel stack in our new designs• We have achieved ~15% cost reduction from prior models through the use of our proprietary stacks

• The modularity of the ProGen platform has enabled us to work with OEM’s, leading to the 3-way MOU

signed with Furui for delivery vans

Expanding our market position

• Adding new names to our book of business in the US and abroad, including top retailers Amazon and

Carrefour, is a testament to our strong value proposition

Replicating success in material handling• Our technology is adaptable across a range of power and energy needs: we have deployed multiple

units of ground support equipment (GSE), and developed the FedEx range extender, both powered by

our fuel cells

Paving a path towards profitable revenue growth• We have significantly driven down costs, reflected in the growth of our margins

• The future predictability of revenue and deployments through new contracts will have a meaningful

impact on our financial performance
