TeraWulf (NASDAQ:WULF) Posts Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $1.70 EPS

TeraWulf (NASDAQ:WULF) released its quarterly earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported ($1.94) EPS for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of ($0.24) by ($1.70), FiscalAI reports. TeraWulf had a negative return on equity of 305.07% and a negative net margin of 611.46%.The firm had revenue of $44.77 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $46.00 million. During the same quarter in the prior year, the company posted ($0.05) EPS. The firm’s revenue was down 6.0% on a year-over-year basis.

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

• Lake Mariner execution advanced: CB3 is online and generating lease revenue, bringing operating critical IT capacity to 102 megawatts. CB4 remains on track for first-hall revenue in late September, while CB5 is expected to begin energization in early January.
• TeraWulf signed a 401-megawatt, 20-year lease with Anthropic at the Justified Data campus, representing approximately $19 billion of contracted revenue and expanding its direct customer relationships.
• The acquisition of the gigawatt-scale Muskie campus adds a utility-supported Kentucky development platform with contracted electric service expected in late 2028, while demand discussions could support expansion to as much as 2 gigawatts.
• TeraWulf agreed to sell its 50.1% Abernathy interest for approximately $530 million, including $250 million received in July, allowing it to recycle capital into projects it directly controls. Management said current liquidity and expected proceeds can fund Lake Mariner commitments, Muskie equity, Chesapeake, and other near-term opportunities without issuing additional equity.
• Second-quarter revenue rose to $44.8 million, but adjusted EBITDA was negative $18.3 million and GAAP net loss widened to $939.9 million, primarily because of a $755.7 million non-cash loss on Google warrants. Electrical labor constraints, evolving customer designs, and higher project costs lifted the estimated WULF Compute cost to approximately $9.1 million per critical megawatt.
