Innventure (NASDAQ:INV) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.09 EPS

Innventure (NASDAQ:INV) issued its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported ($0.32) EPS for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of ($0.23) by ($0.09), FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $0.95 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.97 million. Innventure had a negative return on equity of 21.57% and a negative net margin of 3,022.42%.

Here are the key takeaways from Innventure’s conference call:

• Accelsius’ path to breakeven has been delayed beyond 2026 due to power, GPU-access and site-allocation constraints affecting smaller early adopters. Innventure suspended revenue targets and no longer expects consolidated positive cash flow in 2028.
• The DarkNX project was removed from Accelsius’ 2026 forecast after the customer lost its planned site, reportedly because of the site’s power envelope. Management expects the order could transfer to an alternative site, but timing remains uncertain.
• Accelsius reported strong third-party validation of its NeuCool two-phase cooling system, which ran NVIDIA B200 GPUs 9–14°C cooler while using roughly one-third the chip-level coolant flow. Management believes the performance could enable warmer-water operation, lower cooling energy use and approximately 5% more GPUs within the same power envelope.
• Accelsius is shifting its commercialization focus toward chipmakers, server OEMs/ODMs and hyperscalers, with active proof-of-concept discussions underway. Key milestones include chipmaker reference designs, co-development with server manufacturers, an executed hyperscaler statement of work and further independent benchmark results.
• AeroFlexx’s commercial pipeline increased 9% sequentially to nearly $35 million, while its Italian co-manufacturing facility became operational and product qualification began. Refinity remains on track to complete engineering design for its 10-kiloton demonstration plant by year-end.
