NuScale LLC was historically and remains a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes with each partner being separately taxed on its share of taxable income or loss. NuScale Corp is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of any net taxable income or loss and any related tax credits of NuScale LLC.

The effective tax rate was 0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed significantly from the statutory rates, primarily due to the losses allocated to the NCI and the recognition of a valuation allowance as a result of the Company’s new tax structure following the Transaction.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a minimal amount of foreign income tax expense, while incurring no such expense during the same periods in the prior year. However, during the third quarter, NuScale received a customer deposit from a Romanian entity subject to Romanian withholding tax in the amount of $3,200. This amount is included in Prepaid expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024 and will be expensed as the revenue is recognized. No such amount was prepaid as of December 31, 2023.

The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at NuScale Corp as of September 30, 2024, which will be maintained until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.

The Company’s income tax filings will be subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The Company will monitor the status of U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns that may be subject to audit in future periods. No U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns are currently under examination by the respective taxing authorities.
