![image.jpg](image.jpg)<br>

**Core Scientific Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Results**

**Recent Developments**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** *Strengthened the capital structure through today's closing of a $3.3 billion offering of 7.75% senior secured notes due 2031, supporting strategic data center development projects.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Expanded the Company's total gross power capacity pipeline to 4.5 GW, including planned 1.5 GW expansions at each of the Company's Muskogee, Oklahoma and Pecos, Texas campuses.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Closed on the acquisiton of land and power in Hunt County, Texas for approximately $233 million, which is expected to support ~430 MW of gross power capacity, with an approved ERCOT interconnection ramp schedule.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Billing for 243 MW of capacity, representing approximately $350 million in average annualized colocation GAAP revenue.* 

**AUSTIN, Texas, May 6, 2026** - **Core Scientific, Inc**. (**NASDAQ: CORZ**), a leader in digital infrastructure for high-density colocation services ("HDC"), today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

"Core Scientific is differentiated by our ability to combine capital readiness with speed to delivery," said Adam Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of Core Scientific. "We are investing ahead of contracts, advancing ready-for-service dates and moving development forward across multiple sites. That execution capability is accelerating customer discussions and reinforcing the value of our high-density compute infrastructure platform."

**First Quarter 2026 Financial Results** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Total revenue** was $115.2 million compared to $79.5 million in the first quarter of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Colocation revenue was $77.5 million, up from $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by incremental billable customer power capacity delivered to our customer during the quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Digital asset self-mining revenue was $30.1 million, down from $67.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by the 45% decrease in bitcoin mined primarily due to the continued strategic shift to our colocation business and the 18% decrease in the average bitcoin price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Gross profit** was $30.1 million compared to $8.2 million in the same period last year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Net loss** was $347.2 million, compared to net income of $576.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The net loss included $266.5 million of non-cash impairment charges, and a $30.8 million non-cash loss from changes in the fair value of warrants and contingent value rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA** was $4.4 million, compared to $(6.1) million for the prior year period, driven by a $35.7 million increase in total revenue and a $4.1 million favorable change in fair value of digital assets, partially offset by a $17.5 million increase in cash cost of revenue and a $11.9 million increase in adjusted operating expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Capital expenditures** were $389.2 million, $129.9 million of which were funded by CoreWeave, Inc. pursuant to its existing colocation service agreements with the Company.

**Core Scientific, Inc.**

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

**(Unaudited)**

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as our net (loss) income, adjusted to eliminate the effect of (i) interest income, interest expense, and other income (expense), net; (ii) provision for income taxes; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) loss on disposal and impairment of property, plant and equipment; (vi) site demolition costs incurred in connection with the conversion of existing facilities to colocation data center operations; (vii) change in fair value of warrant and contingent value rights; (viii) loss on legal settlements; (ix) post-emergence bankruptcy advisory costs incurred related to reorganization, and (x) certain additional non-cash items that do not reflect the performance of our ongoing business operations. For additional information, including the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, please refer to the table below. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure because it allows management, investors, and our Board of Directors to evaluate and compare our operating results, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period-to-period by making the adjustments described above. In addition, it provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of net interest expense, taxes, certain non-cash items, variable charges and timing differences. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA in this earnings release because it is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic and financial planning.

The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature or because the amount and timing of these items are not related to the current results of our core business operations which renders evaluation of our current performance, comparisons of performance between periods and comparisons of our current performance with our competitors less meaningful. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating this measure. Our presentation of this measure should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual items. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate this measure in the same fashion. You should review the reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

![](q1fy26earningsdeck015.jpg)

15 Term Library Term Definition How management uses it Gross Utility Power Capacity (MW) Total electric utility power capacity agreements associated with our data center sites under our control as of period end, including capacity that is commissioned for future use. Used for portfolio planning and utility power allocation discussions. Total Leasable Customer Power Capacity (MW) Our estimate of the total non-redundant customer IT load that our data center sites could support in the aggregate as of period end, regardless of whether such capacity has been contracted with customers or remains available for sale. This metric is representative of the amount of power available for customer use in servicing their workloads. Used to assess total customer-usable IT load available for leasing, evaluate leased versus unleased capacity, and plan conversion/development sequencing and sales capacity. Leased Customer Power Capacity (MW) Power capacity that is committed to customers under executed customer contracts, regardless of whether service has commenced as of period end. Used to monitor signed customer commitments and contracted backlog and to plan future deployment/commissioning requirements. Unleased Customer Power Capacity (MW) The portion of Total Leasable Customer Power not committed under customer contracts as of period end. This metric is calculated as Total Leasable Customer Power minus Leased Customer Power Capacity. Used to monitor remaining uncommitted customer IT load and to prioritize incremental contracting and conversion/commissioning plans. Billable Customer Power Capacity (MW) Portion of Leased Customer Power Capacity for which service has commenced, and we are actively billing as of period end. Used to monitor in-service customer power that is billing and to track deployment/commissioning pace and near-term revenue ramp.
