Management Discussion
Gregory Poilasne, Chief Executive Officer of Nuvve, said, "Though the sales numbers are not yet reflecting it for different reasons, the transformation we have been undertaking since last year is coming together.

2025 First Quarter Financial Review
Total revenue was $0.93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.78 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.15 million, or 19.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.09 million modest increase in products revenue due to higher customers sales orders and shipments, increase in services revenue $0.05 million, and increase in grants of $0.02 million. Products and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisted of DC and AC Chargers of $0.57 million, grid services revenue of $0.05 million, and engineering services of $0.22 million driven by management fees of $0.18 million earned related to Fresno V2G infrastructure project management.
Cost of products and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $0.05 million to $0.6 million, or 10.2% compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to higher customers sales orders and shipments. Products and services margin increased by 5.8% to 32.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 26.8% in the same prior year period. Margin benefited from a lower mix of hardware charging stations' sales and a higher mix of engineering services in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the first quarter of 2024.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of selling, marketing, advertising, payroll, administrative, legal, finance, and professional expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 14.4%.
The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to decreases in compensation expenses of $1.4 million, including share-based compensation, decreases in public company related costs of $0.2 million, decreases in office related expenses of $0.3 million, partially offset by increases in legal fees expenses of $0.8 million and increases in travel and marketing/promotions related expenses of $0.2 million.
Research and development expenses decreased by $0.7 million, or 44.4%, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to decreases in compensation expenses and subcontractor expenses used to advance our platform functionality and integration with more vehicles.
Other income, net consists primarily of interest expense, change in fair value of convertible notes, change in fair value of warrants liability and derivative liability, and other income (expense). Other income, net decreased by $1.81 million from $0.52 million of other income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $1.29 million in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the change in fair values of the convertible notes and warrants liability, partially offset by increases in sublease income related to the subleasing of part of our main office space and interest expense on debt obligations.
Net loss increased by $0.1 million, or 2.2%, from $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net loss was primarily due to decrease in other income of $1.8 million, and decrease in operating expenses of $1.5 million, which includes an increase in cost of products and services of $0.1 million, and a increase in revenue of $0.15 million, for the above aforementioned reasons.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest was $0.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net income attributable to non-controlling interest of $0.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net loss is allocated to non-controlling interests in proportion to the relative ownership interests of the holders of non- controlling interests in Deep Impact entity. We own 51% of Deep Impact common units during the three months ended March 31, 2025. We had determined that Deep Impact is a variable interest entity ("VIE") in which we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidated Deep Impact, and recorded a non-controlling interest for the share of Deep Impact owned by other parties during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Megawatts Under Management
Megawatts under management refers to the potential available charging capacity Nuvve is currently managing around the world.
