Business-activity disclosure
Plug develops hydrogen fuel-cell systems, electrolyzers, hydrogen generation and related power and infrastructure services. Clean-energy equipment is generally permissible, but customer contracts and downstream uses are not fully classified by a universal Sharia activity numerator.
Limitation: The filing disaggregates equipment, service, power-purchase and fuel revenue but does not isolate prohibited end-use or customer-category revenue.
Purification
Plug discloses $3.845 million of interest income, which is below the examined income threshold, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Plug Power's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Interest-bearing debt is $66.374 million of current finance obligations, $173.531 million of noncurrent finance obligations, $2.495 million of current convertible debt, $502.770 million of noncurrent convertible debt, and $1.697 million of current and noncurrent long-term debt; finance lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash is $223.189 million of unrestricted cash plus $183.685 million of current and $395.140 million of noncurrent restricted cash. No separate interest-bearing securities are identified.
- Accounts receivable, net is $106.511 million; contract assets are not added to avoid treating unbilled performance rights as receivables.
- Net revenue is $163.513 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and disclosed interest income is $3.845 million.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
