Management Commentary
“TeraWulf's second-quarter results reflect our unwavering commitment to operational excellence and strategic growth. By completing the construction of Building 4 at Lake Mariner, advancing our AI and high-performance computing initiatives, and streamlining our capital structure, we have solidified our position as a leader in the industry. Our focus on low-cost, predominantly zero-carbon energy and efficient management has enabled us to achieve industry-leading profitability while positioning us to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the rapidly growing data center market,” said Paul Prager, CEO of TeraWulf.
“Our extensive 600 megawatts of owned and scalable infrastructure is a key differentiator, allowing us to leverage our success in bitcoin mining as the foundation for expanding into alternative compute hosting. This strategic move aligns perfectly with the increasing demand for high-power data center capacity, positioning us for long-term growth and profitability,” continued Prager.
Patrick Fleury, TeraWulf’s CFO added, “In the second quarter of 2024, TeraWulf delivered solid financial performance, even in a challenging fundamental business environment following the Bitcoin reward halving in April, mining a total of 699 bitcoin across our facilities. During the quarter, we maintained our focus on cost management, achieving quarter-over-quarter reductions in power costs at Lake Mariner and SG&A expenses. In addition, our robust balance sheet, highlighted by a strong cash position and the elimination of debt, positions us well for future growth. We remain committed to maximizing shareholder value as we diversify into HPC and AI expansion in the latter half of the year."
Production and Operations Update
The recent completion of Building 4 at the Company's wholly owned Lake Mariner Facility in New York has expanded TeraWulf’s bitcoin mining infrastructure capacity to 245 MW and over 10.0 EH/s across its two sites. The Company has also begun construction on Building 5 at the Lake Mariner Facility, which is expected to contribute an additional 50 MW of infrastructure capacity by Q1 2025. This capacity can be utilized for bitcoin mining or AI/HPC compute applications.
In Pennsylvania, the Company currently has 50 MW of operational mining capacity at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, a joint venture with Cumulus Coin, LLC. TeraWulf’s additional 50 MW of expansion capacity at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility is planned to come online in 2025, potentially increasing TeraWulf’s bitcoin mining operating capacity by up to 2.5 EH/s at the site.
As previously announced, the Company is advancing activities to support a large-scale, high-performance computing (HPC) and AI project at the Lake Mariner Facility. The Company has committed an initial 2 MW block of power to the project, capable of supporting thousands of the latest generation graphics processing units (GPUs). During the second quarter, the Company purchased a 128-GPU cluster from NVIDIA, financed by a leading OEM. To support this project, the Company has upgraded the internet interconnection at the Lake Mariner Facility to meet the bandwidth requirements of AI, designed a closed-loop liquid cooling system, and ensured power supply redundancy for

Non-GAAP Measure
To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for (i) impacts of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (ii) preferred stock dividends, stock-based compensation expense and related party expense to be settled with respect to common stock, all of which are non-cash items that the Company believes are not reflective of its general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment, and the resulting expenses could vary significantly in comparison to other companies; (iii) equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax, related to Nautilus; (iv) other income which is related to interest income or income for which management believes is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating activities; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, which is not reflective of the Company’s general business performance; and (vi) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, which is not be applicable to the Company’s future business activities. The Company’s non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA also includes the impact of distributions from investee received in bitcoin related to a return on the Nautilus investment, which management believes, in conjunction with excluding the impact of equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax, is reflective of assets available for the Company’s use in its ongoing operations as a result of its investment in Nautilus.
Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company's core business operating results and those of other companies, and provides the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management's internal use of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenues). For example, the Company expects that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants. Additionally, management does not consider any of the excluded items to be expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenue.
The Company's Adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating loss or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents Adjusted EBITDA, the Company only utilizes that measure supplementally and does not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following table is a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure (i.e., net loss attributable to common stockholders) for the periods indicated (in thousands):
