• Power Expansion at Existing Locations: Increased gross power capacity by ~300 MW across Dalton, Georgia and Pecos, Texas.

Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: CORZ), a leader in digital infrastructure for high-density colocation services, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025.

“We’re now past the halfway point on our existing builds and scaling our colocation platform into a 1.5 gigawatt pipeline of leasable capacity,” said Adam Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of Core Scientific. “With a multi-geography footprint and proven execution, we’re accelerating RFS timelines across multiple sites to position the company for durable growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

• Total revenue was $79.8 million compared to $94.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • Colocation revenue was $31.3 million, up from $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was due to the expansion of colocation operations since the prior-year period.
  • Digital asset self-mining revenue was $42.2 million, down from $79.9 million in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily driven by a 57% decrease in bitcoin mined, partially offset by a 20% increase in the average bitcoin price.
  • Digital asset hosted mining revenue was $6.3 million, down from $6.5 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease was driven by the continued strategic shift to our high-density colocation business.
• Gross profit was $20.8 million compared to $4.8 million in the same period last year.
• Net income was $216.0 million, compared to a net loss of $291.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a GAAP non-cash fair value gain of $330.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 versus a loss of $224.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting lower remeasurement charges on warrant and contingent value right liabilities due to a decline in the Company’s stock price during the current period.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $(42.7) million, compared to $13.3 million for the prior year period, driven by a $60.9 million increase in the change in fair value of digital assets and a $15.2 million decrease in total revenue, partially offset by a $17.8 million decrease in cash cost of revenue and a $2.3 million decrease in cash operating expenses.
• Capital expenditures were $279.2 million, $226.2 million of which were funded by CoreWeave, Inc. pursuant to its existing colocation service agreements with the Company.
• Liquidity was $533.4 million as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, consisting of $311.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $222.0 million of bitcoin.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Results

During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in connection with the Company’s change in its independent registered public accounting firm from CBIZ, formerly Marcum LLP, to KPMG LLP, the Company determined that property, plant and equipment was overstated in its 2025 interim financial statements as a result of the improper capitalization of carrying values of asset committed to demolition in connection with the conversion of certain facilities from digital asset mining operations to high-performance computing colocation infrastructure. This determination resulted in the identification of the same error in the Company’s previously issues consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Specifically, the carrying values of assets committed to demolition were improperly capitalized rather than being written down to fair value through the recognition of impairment charges in the periods in which the commitment to demolish was made.

The Company assessed the materiality of the errors, individually and in the aggregate, and concluded that the errors were material to the previously issued consolidated financial statements and such previously issued consolidated financial statements should no longer be relied upon. As a result, the Company is restating its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the year ended December 31, 2024, the three months ended March 31, 2025, the six months ended June 30, 2025, and the three months ended September 30, 2025. The three months ended September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025 were not impacted on a standalone basis.

This restatement has no impact on revenue, adjusted EBITDA, or net cash flows for the affected periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as our net income (loss), 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) Reorganization items, net; (vi) unrealized fair value adjustment on energy derivatives; (vii) change in the fair value of warrant and contingent value rights, (viii) Colocation segment startup costs primarily related to the initial ramp up of new colocation sites, (ix) impairment of property, plant and equipment, (x) site demolition costs incurred in connection with the conversion of existing facilities to colocation data center operations, (xi) post-emergence bankruptcy advisory costs incurred related to reorganization, (xii) transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement, including advisory, legal, and other professional or consulting fees, (xiii) gain (loss) on legal settlements, and (xiv) 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 to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income (loss), for the periods presented (in thousands):
