Financial Performance – Q2 2023

- Net Loss: Net loss increased by USD 2.5m, reaching USD 8m in Q2 2023 due to a decrease in other income, offset by increased revenue and reduced operating expenses.
Non-Controlling Interest and Consolidation
Nuvve’s net income attributable to non-controlling interest increased to USD 0.01m for Q2 2023, compared to a net loss of USD 0.19m for Q2 2022. Nuvve’s consolidation of Levo’s activities also contributed to this aspect.
