SLINGERLANDS, N.Y., March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plug Power Inc., a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen economy, today announced financial results and operational milestones for the 4th quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and outlined strategic priorities for 2026 and beyond.
2025 Goals in Review
This past year marked a pivotal commercial inflection point for Plug. Over the last year, through Project Quantum Leap, Plug has taken decisive steps to improve margins and cash flows, including operations optimization, workforce streamlining, facilities consolidation, pricing increases on certain offerings, working capital reduction, and reprioritizing investments.
In addition to collective improvement efforts over the last two years, the Company has launched multiple follow-on actions to continue reducing cost and improving cash flows and margins in 2026 to accelerate the Company’s path to profitability. As Plug continues to drive innovation and expansion in the hydrogen economy, the Company remains focused on strengthening its financial foundation and executing its profitable growth strategy with discipline and efficiency.
Operational and Financial Highlights
Commercial Business Update
In 2025, Plug continued to execute its commercial growth strategy. Building on this momentum, the Company expects continued growth across material handling, GenEco electrolyzers, cryogenic equipment, and hydrogen fuel. Plug has established strong platforms for expansion in 2026, with greater scale potential in 2027 and beyond.
Jose Luis Crespo will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer effective March 2, 2026, bringing deep industry experience and a strong record of commercial leadership. Prior to his expected appointment as CEO, he served as President and Chief Revenue Officer at Plug, where he led revenue strategy, global sales, and commercial operations across all product lines and market segments. Crespo has more than a decade of experience in hydrogen, fuel cells, and industrial solutions, with a career marked by revenue growth, strategic customer wins, and global sales leadership. Over his tenure, Crespo was a principal architect of a multi-billion-dollar sales pipeline and cultivated strategic relationships with major enterprise customers. Crespo brings a natural fluency in European markets that has been instrumental in deepening Plug’s commercial relationships across the continent – an increasingly important growth region for the Company.
Jose Luis Crespo said, “I’m honored to have the opportunity to lead Plug Power at this pivotal stage of growth and transformation. In 2025, we achieved $710 million in revenues and Q4 margin positive as we projected at the start of the year. In 2026, we will continue executing with discipline, driving margin improvement, and delivering exceptional outcomes for our customers. By leveraging our strong commercial foundation, advancing cost-efficiency initiatives, and capitalizing on our more than $8 billion global sales funnel, we are converting operational momentum into sustainable financial performance. Our targets remain consistent in achieving positive EBITDAS in Q4 of 2026, positive operating income by the end of 2027, and full profitability by the end of 2028, while still growing the Company substantially.”
