Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking and usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “will,” “will likely result,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may relate to the development of the Company's technology, the anticipated demand for the Company's technology and the markets in which the Company operates, the timing of the deployment of plant deliveries, and the Company's business strategies, capital requirements, potential growth opportunities and expectations for future performance (financial or otherwise). Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, targets, opinions and/or beliefs of the Company, and such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
The risks and uncertainties that could cause those actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Company and risks related to the Company's ability to meet its projections; (ii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, and the ability of the Company retain its management and key employees; (iii) the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards effectively; (iv) the capital-intensive nature of the Company's business model, which will likely require the Company to raise additional capital in the future; (v) barriers the Company may face in its attempts to deploy and commercialize its technology; (vi) the complexity of the machinery the Company relies on for its operations and development; (vii) potential changes and/or delays in site selection and construction that result from regulatory, logistical, and financing challenges; (viii) the Company's ability to establish and maintain supply relationships; (ix) risks related to the Company's arrangements with third parties for the development, commercialization and deployment of technology associated with the Company's technology; (x) risks related to the Company's other strategic investors and partners; (xi) the Company's ability to successfully commercialize its operations; (xii) the availability and cost of raw materials; (xiii) the ability of the Company's supply base to scale to meet the Company's anticipated growth; (xiv) the Company's ability to expand internationally; (xv) the Company's ability to update the design, construction and operations of its technology; (xvi) the impact of potential delays in discovering manufacturing and construction issues; (xvii) the possibility of damage to the Company's Texas facilities as a result of natural disasters; (xviii) the ability of commercial plants using the Company's technology to efficiently provide net power output; (xix) the Company's ability to obtain and retain licenses; (xx) the Company's ability to establish an initial commercial scale plant; (xxi) the Company's ability to license to large customers; (xxii) the Company's ability to accurately estimate future commercial demand; (xxiii) the Company's ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving and competitive natural and renewable power industry; (xxiv) the Company's ability to comply with all applicable laws and regulations; (xxv) the impact of public perception of fossil fuel-derived energy on the Company's business; (xxvi) any political or other disruptions in gas producing nations; (xxvii) the Company's ability to protect its intellectual property and the intellectual property it licenses; (xxviii) risks relating to data privacy and cybersecurity, including the potential for cyberattacks or security incidents that could disrupt our or our service providers' operations; (xxix) potential litigation that may be instituted against the Company; and (xxx) other risks and uncertainties indicated in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report and other documents subsequently filed with the SEC by the Company.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions made by our management prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements in deciding whether to invest in our securities.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The Company gives no assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

NET Power Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share, per share and unit amounts, unless otherwise noted)
NOTE 1 — Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
NET Power Inc. (“Net Power” or the “Company”) is a clean energy technology company that has developed a proprietary process for producing electricity using a predominantly carbon dioxide working fluid that involves the capture and reuse, sale and sequestration of carbon dioxide (the “Net Power Cycle”). The Net Power Cycle is the subject of U.S. and foreign patents, as well as additional applications and provisional applications on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and international patent authorities.
Business Combination
On December 13, 2022, NET Power, LLC entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Rice Acquisition Corp. II (“RONI”), Rice Acquisition Holdings II LLC (“RONI OpCo”), Topo Buyer Co, LLC (“Buyer”) and Topo Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”). On June 8, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into NET Power, LLC, with NET Power, LLC continuing as the surviving entity, resulting in it becoming a majority-owned, direct subsidiary of Buyer. RONI OpCo, a subsidiary of RONI, renamed itself NET Power Operations LLC (“OpCo”) and RONI renamed itself NET Power Inc. upon completion of the merger (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination resulted in an umbrella partnership, C corporation or “Up-C” structure.
OpCo is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”); therefore, RONI represented the accounting acquirer within the Business Combination structure. The Company elected push-down accounting for the Business Combination and recorded the push-down entries at OpCo. ASC 810 requires that a reporting entity that possesses a controlling financial interest in a VIE consolidate that VIE. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE's losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. The Company determined that OpCo continued to meet the definition of a VIE after the Business Combination and that the Company became the primary beneficiary of OpCo beginning on the Closing Date of the Business Combination; therefore, the Company has consolidated OpCo from the date of the Business Combination.
As a result of the Business Combination, the Company's financial statement presentation distinguishes NET Power, LLC as the “Predecessor” through June 7, 2023 (the “Predecessor Period”) and Net Power as the “Successor” for periods beginning on or after the Closing Date (the “Successor Period”). Revenue and earnings after the date of the Business Combination are shown in the Successor Period on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting in the Successor Period, the consolidated financial statements for the Successor Period are presented on a full step-up basis; therefore, the Successor Period consolidated financial statements are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor Period, which are not presented on the same full step-up basis.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries that Net Power consolidates in accordance with the guidance in ASC 810. The Company consolidates all wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which it owns a 50% or greater ownership interest and all VIE's to which it is deemed to represent the primary beneficiary, as described above. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated VIE's. Intercompany balances have been eliminated through the consolidation process.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information; however, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In management's opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and include all adjustments, which consist of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for fair statement.
The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”).
Reclassification of Prior Period Amounts
Certain prior period financial information has been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
NOTE 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company’s significant accounting policies used to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted below, are consistent with those used for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, reference Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2023 Annual Report for the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. The estimates, judgments and assumptions made by the Company when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, asset valuations and share-based compensation were based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as amounts reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash held to secure a letter of credit. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had restricted cash of $2,432 included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no restricted cash.
Investment Securities
We hold investment securities that are classified as available-for-sale securities and are available to be sold in the future as needed.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
During December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to provide annually a tabular reconciliation of the reported income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations to the product of the income (or loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and the applicable statutory federal income tax rate using specified categories and to disclose separately reconciling items within certain categories with absolute values equal to or greater than five percent of the product of the income (or loss) from continuing operations before tax and the applicable statutory tax rate. Additionally, ASU 2023-09 requires a public business entity to disclose the year-to-date amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. If a payment to a single federal, state or foreign jurisdiction equals or exceeds five percent of total income taxes paid, ASU 2023-09 requires separate disclosure of that payment. Finally, ASU 2023-09 requires a public business entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign jurisdictions and to disclose income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated between federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 removes the requirement to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of reasonably possible increases or decreases in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months, or to make a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for calendar years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits derived from the Company's unique market position, the growth attributable to the Net Power Cycle and the Company's assembled workforce, none of which are individually and separately recognized as intangible assets. Goodwill is allocated to the Company's sole reportable segment and reporting unit.
The following table presents the Company's goodwill included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
| | | | | | | | |
| Goodwill at December 31, 2023 (Successor) | | $ | 423,920 | |
| Measurement adjustments | | (64,073) | |
| Goodwill at September 30, 2024 (Successor) | | $ | 359,847 | |
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company completed its estimate of deferred taxes as of the Closing Date and finalized its purchase price allocation, which resulted in a measurement adjustment to goodwill.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment due to a sustained decrease in the Company’s market capitalization. The Company applied the income approach to estimate the fair value of this reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions used in this model included revenue and operating expense projections, a terminal cash flow growth rate of 7.5%, a discount rate of 26%, and a tax rate of 25%. The Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value and no impairment was indicated.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
The following tables summarize the Company's definite-lived intangible assets included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
