Net Power Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

and Provides Business Update

HOUSTON, TX--(BUSINESS WIRE)—August 13, 2026--Net Power Inc. (NYSE: NPWR) (“Net Power” or the “Company”) today announced its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“We’ve spent the last four months in an intensive customer engagement and marketing process. We believe that process has given us a clear read on what the market will buy today, and we are focusing the business accordingly. Our commercial strategy is recalibrated around what we believe today’s power customers are actually prioritizing: speed-to-power, reliability, and scale. Natural gas power generation, co-located with customer load and deployable on a fast timeline, is how we expect to meet that demand today. We continue to believe carbon capture and sequestration will play an integral role in the future of natural gas power, and our approach preserves that pathway, adding carbon capture in future phases as customer requirements, economics, and financing support it. We anticipate this flexibility will enable us to capture near-term demand now while holding onto the long-term decarbonization opportunity we’ve always believed in,” said Danny Rice, Chief Executive Officer of Net Power.

Key Business Updates:

Recalibrating commercial strategy toward fast-to-deploy, unabated natural gas power generation: Market demand for natural gas-based power generation, driven by accelerating load growth from AI and hyperscale data center infrastructure, is growing quickly, with customers prioritizing speed-to-power and scale of deployment. In response, the Company is directing near-term capital and execution focus toward the development of unabated natural gas power generation capacity, with carbon capture retained as an option to be layered into projects over time as customer needs, economics, and financing evolve. Net Power continues to advance commercial discussions with prospective power offtakers directly and with the support of its financial advisor for Project Permian and other sites. Net Power has already contracted two modular gas turbine generator sets with nominal gross power of approximately 68 megawatts for use at Project Permian and is actively evaluating the acquisition of additional gas power units for the project.

Revising the contemplated arrangement with Entropy: Net Power and Entropy Inc. (“Entropy”), a post-combustion carbon capture (“PCC”) technology company, are discussing one or more potential commercial arrangements following the expiration of the parties’ prior letter of intent under which the parties may pursue deployment of Entropy’s PCC technology in later phases of Net Power’s projects as and when supported by customer demand, economics, and financing.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $310 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments. The Company believes it has the ability to manage its operating costs such that its existing

liquidity will be sufficient to fund its obligations for the next 12 months following the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. That conclusion is based on the Company’s existing obligations and commitments and assumes the Company does not enter into additional pre-FID equipment obligations and commitments it is evaluating, which have not been entered into as of the date of this release. As of the date of this release, no project-level financing, customer deposits or partner capital for Project Permian has been committed.

Net Power Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

and Provides Business Update

DURHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—November 13, 2025--Net Power Inc. (NYSE: NPWR) (“Net Power” or the “Company”) today announced its financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and outlined an updated strategy that continues to focus on delivering low-carbon intensity power solutions fueled by natural gas.

In response to unprecedented near-term demand for firm power solutions with viable pathways to decarbonize, the Company has expanded its business strategy to prioritize the development of clean power projects utilizing gas turbines with post-combustion carbon capture (PCC). At the same time, Net Power continues to support the long-term development and deployment of its oxy-combustion technology.

Danny Rice, Chief Executive Officer of Net Power, stated, “The market is beginning to embrace reality: the only responsible way to meet unprecedented electricity demand growth is with natural gas power, and the only safe and proven way to do so while reducing emissions is with carbon capture. Net Power’s mission is to transform natural gas into the lowest cost form of clean firm power. The work we’ve done to date indicates our oxy-combustion technology is lower cost and quicker to deploy than new nuclear power—however, speed is key in this market. Expanding our offerings to include PCC unlocks a significant market opportunity directly in front of us.”

Key Business Updates:

Building Strong PCC Offering and Advancing First Projects

•Signed letter of intent with Entropy Inc.: Net Power signed a letter of intent with Entropy Inc. (“Entropy”), a global leader in proven carbon capture technology, to exclusively deploy Entropy’s PCC technology for power generation in the United States and to jointly develop projects. Entropy’s proprietary solvent is energy efficient and proven to reduce CO2 emissions from natural gas power plants. This strategic partnership is subject to continued diligence and approval of definitive agreements, which the Company and Entropy endeavor to complete in the coming months.

•Permian Basin clean firm power hub: Net Power is progressing its first clean firm power hub at its Project Permian site in West Texas. The project is being sized to accommodate up to 1GW of clean firm power generation capacity utilizing Net Power’s suite of power technologies. Phase I of the project will utilize readily available gas turbines paired with Entropy’s proven PCC technology; to that end, Net Power has secured 60MW of gas turbines with 2028 delivery. Net

Power is finalizing definitive documents for Occidental to purchase 30MW of the power and 100% of the captured CO2. Final investment decision (FID) for Phase I is expected in the first half of 2026 with targeted commercial operations in 2028, which would make it the first commercial clean gas power project in the United States.

•Northern MISO clean firm power hub: Net Power also continues to advance its clean firm power hub in northern MISO, where the Company has site control and a 300MW interconnect request through the DPP-2023 interconnection queue process. Net Power’s sequestration partner continues to advance its Class VI permit applications and both the interconnect and sequestration facilities are expected to be completed by 2028/2029. Net Power is designing Phase I of the project to utilize gas turbines paired with Entropy PCC, targeting FID in 2027 with commercial operations as soon as 2029. Net Power is in active discussions with strategic offtakers for the power.

Realigning Technology Prioritization and Approach

•Advanced testing at La Porte test facility: Net Power continued to advance oxy-combustion equipment testing with Baker Hughes at its La Porte Demonstration Facility. During the quarter, the facility achieved its highest ever recorded pressures and temperatures, underscoring continued progress in technology maturation. The Company intends to complete Phase I testing, which it expects to occur this year, and will reassess future testing phases by year-end.

•Non-cash impairment of other intangible assets: During the quarter, the Company completed a market analysis of its oxy-combustion technology, identifying slower than anticipated acceptance and deployment relative to previous expectations. The value engineering efforts on Project Permian identified significant cost reductions and performance improvements, but not to a level that is economically competitive in the current market. These events resulted in an impairment of the carrying value of the technology and associated assets on the Company’s balance sheet.

Setting Clear Path Ahead

•Optimizing capital allocation to deliver clean firm power: The Company views its oxy-combustion technology as a viable, long-term solution for low-carbon intensity power generation. The Company will prudently invest capital to maintain

NET Power Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

and Provides Business Update

•Progressed Project Permian, the Company’s first Texas-based project located near Midland-Odessa

•Continued site preparation and modifications at La Porte test facility ahead of multiple equipment testing campaigns with Baker Hughes

Durham, NC – NET Power Inc. (NYSE: NPWR) (“NET Power” or the “Company”) today reported results for the third quarter of 2023.

Danny Rice, Chief Executive Officer of NET Power, commented, “We continue to make good progress on all three pillars of our previously outlined corporate strategy. Our engineering team is hard at work finalizing the design for our utility-scale plant. At our La Porte test facility, we’re preparing for our upcoming combustor and turboexpander demonstrations with Baker Hughes, which will de-risk our first utility-scale project, Project Permian, and further refine our proprietary plant controls architecture. Our operations team is progressing through FEED and site-related permitting for Project Permian.”

Mr. Rice continued, “Meeting our global energy needs requires access to affordable and reliable power, and given growing demand for clean energy, the world needs a solution that we think only NET Power provides. The global energy supply chain is lagging current market demand for new energy infrastructure, which means excessive lead times across many critical components for years to come. Our supply chain strategy is intended to alleviate these market constraints, and we must prudently incorporate the current supply chain challenges into our project timing and planning.

Due to the tightness in the global supply chain, we are incorporating a 12-month cushion into our expected schedule for Project Permian. We’re now expecting to achieve initial power generation sometime between the second half of 2027 and first half of 2028. We expect the world’s current supply chain bottlenecks to be resolved by the time we deploy our second utility-scale plant. Fortunately for our shareholders, we over-capitalized NET Power upon going public, and we expect to have meaningful cash on hand at commercialization of Project Permian.

On the commercial front, we are pleased to announce progress on our first originated project, which will be located in North America. We’ve successfully finished our technical feasibility study and are preparing to submit permits for grid interconnection and carbon sequestration in 2024. We began working on this project earlier this year, which is a testament to our commercial team’s ability to identify good opportunities quickly. We intend to find and secure more project opportunities in the coming years and be ready to deliver the Energy Trifecta at scale by the end of this decade.”

Business Update

La Porte Demonstration Facility – The Company continues preparation at its La Porte facility for various equipment demonstration campaigns. These testing campaigns under the Baker Hughes Joint Development Program will provide key operational data ahead of deploying the first utility-scale package. Current preparations at the facility include recycle CO2 compressor

relocation, piping and instrumentation enhancements, and distributed control system upgrades.

Project Permian – At NET Power’s first Texas-based project located near Midland-Odessa, Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) is ongoing with licensed EPC partner Zachry Group. FEED is expected to conclude in 2024 and will form the basis for NET Power’s standardized utility-scale plant design. During the quarter, NET Power continued release of initial bid packages for long-lead equipment, progressed negotiations for supply and offtake agreements, and completed the initial survey and environmental assessment of the plant site. Capitalized expenditures associated with ongoing development of Project Permian totaled $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. NET Power expects to release initial long-lead equipment orders for Project Permian in the first half of 2024 and to achieve initial power generation between the second half of 2027 and first half of 2028.

Financial Outlook

During the third quarter, cash flow from operations was approximately $0.1 million and cash flow from investing activities totaled approximately negative $103 million, including $100 million in cash invested into short-term interest-bearing securities. The Company ended the quarter with approximately $645 million of cash and short-term investments and no debt, as compared to approximately $649 million in cash and short-term investments at end of the second quarter of 2023.

The Company has a fully diluted share count of approximately 247 million shares, comprised of approximately 71 million shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding; approximately 140 million shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of Class B Common Stock; approximately 20 million shares of Class A Common Stock
