CORE SCIENTIFIC ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: CORZ), a leader in high-performance blockchain data centers and software solutions, reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights (Compared to Second Quarter 2021)

  • Self-mining bitcoin production increased 1,769% to 3,365 bitcoins
  • 1,959 bitcoins held as of June 30, 2022
  • Total hashrate of 17.9 EH/s consisting of 10.3 EH/s self-mining and 7.6 EH/s hosting

YTD 2022 Financial Highlights (Compared to YTD 2021)

  • Self-mining bitcoin production increased 1,601% to 6,567 bitcoins

“Our team remained focused on our business objectives, delivering second quarter revenue of $164.0 million, an increase of more than 115 percent over the prior year,” said Mike Levitt, Core Scientific Chief Executive Officer. “We are now managing over 200,000 servers generating over 20 EH/s in approximately 800,000 square feet of our own custom-developed data centers across five states. We deployed 14,000 servers in July and have already deployed over 17,000 in August. This month we are averaging over 40 self-mined bitcoins per day, including producing a company record 45.7 bitcoin in a single day on August 10. With enhanced liquidity from bitcoin sales and our committed equity facility, line of sight to improved hosting margins and manageable principal and interest payments on our liabilities, we remain well positioned to navigate current market conditions and emerge from these markets a larger, stronger and more profitable company.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results (Compared to Second Quarter 2021)

Total revenue of $164.0 million increased by $88.7 million, or 118%, from $75.3 million. The increase in total revenue was driven primarily by increases in digital asset mining revenue and hosting revenue, partially offset by a decrease in equipment sales.

Total hosting revenue of $38.9 million increased by $20.4 million, or 110%, from $18.6 million. The increase in hosting revenue from customers was driven primarily by the onboarding of new clients and the execution of new related party hosting contracts for miners deployed.

Total equipment sales of $15.2 million decreased by $30.8 million, or 67%, from $46.0 million. The decrease in equipment sales to customers was primarily driven by fewer miners being deployed, partially offset by higher equipment sales to related parties driven by higher demand for new generation mining equipment.

Digital asset mining revenue of $109.8 million increased by $99.1 million, or 920%, from $10.8 million. The increase in mining revenue was driven primarily by an increase in our self-mining hash rate to 10.3 EH/s from 0.45 EH/s. The total number of bitcoins awarded was 3,365 compared to 180. The average price of bitcoin was $32,502 as compared to $46,498, a decrease of 30%.

Cost of revenue of $151.3 million increased by $100.5 million, or 198%, from $50.8 million. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to higher power consumption costs of $45.9 million driven by an increase in the number of self-mining and hosted miners operating in our fleet. Depreciation expense increased $46.3 million driven by an increase in the number of self-mining units deployed, higher personnel and facilities operating costs driven by the opening and expansion of our data centers of $25.8 million, which includes increased stock-based compensation of $16.9 million, increased payroll and benefit costs for personnel of $3.6 million. The increase in cost of revenue was partially offset by lower equipment sales costs of $17.6 million. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of revenue totaled 92% and 67% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Gross profit of $12.7 million decreased by $11.8 million, or 48%, from $24.5 million. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by a $18.9 million decrease in gross profit in the hosting and equipment segment, partially offset by an $7.1 million increase in gross profit for the mining segment, driven by an increase in mining revenue. The decrease in gross margin for the mining segment was driven by higher miner depreciation as well as higher power costs and lower average price per bitcoin mined.

Operating loss of $1.05 billion decreased by $1.06 billion from an operating income of $15.5 million. The decrease was predominantly due to a $790.8 million impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, a $150.2 million impairment of digital assets, higher total operating expenses of $106.9 million and a $13.1 million loss on exchange or disposal of property, plant and equipment. The increase in total operating expenses was driven primarily by a $92.0 million increase in stock-based compensation, primarily reflecting an amendment to our restricted stock unit awards made in June 2022 that resulted in the elimination of the performance condition that had previously required a change in control or public offering before the awards could vest. The increase in operating expenses was further driven by a $4.6 million of higher professional fees, primarily related to investments made to support public company readiness, and $3.4 million of higher payroll and benefit costs for personnel.

Net loss of $810.5 million increased by $807.1 million from a net loss of $3.4 million. The increase in net loss was due to a $790.8 million impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, a $150.2 million impairment of digital assets and higher total operating expenses of $106.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of the convertible notes (excluding interest expense and changes in instrument-specific credit risk) and corresponding gain of $195.1 million, a decrease in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities and corresponding gain of $22.2 million and an increase in the income tax benefit of $48.8 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $38.3 million to $59.1 million from $20.8 million. The increase was due to higher gross profit, excluding depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, partially offset by higher operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization.

YTD 2022 Financial Results (Compared to YTD 2021)

Total revenue of $356.5 million increased by $226.9 million, or 175%, from $129.5 million. The increase in total revenue was driven primarily by increases in digital asset mining revenue and hosting revenue, partially offset by a decrease in equipment sales.

Total hosting revenue of $72.2 million increased by $40.9 million, or 131%, from $31.3 million. The increase in hosting revenue from customers was driven primarily by the onboarding of new clients and the execution of new related party hosting contracts for miners deployed.

Total equipment sales of $41.5 million decreased by $36.4 million, or 47%, from $77.9 million. The decrease in equipment sales to customers was primarily driven by fewer miners being deployed, partially offset by higher equipment sales to related parties driven by higher demand for new generation mining equipment.

Digital asset mining revenue of $242.8 million increased by $222.4 million, from $20.4 million. The year over year increase in mining revenue was driven primarily by an increase in our self-mining hash rate. The total number of bitcoins awarded was 6,567 compared to 386. The average price of bitcoin was $36,876 as compared to $45,914, a decrease of 20%.

Cost of revenue of $273.8 million increased by $183.3 million, or 203%, from $90.5 million. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to higher power consumption costs of $83.5 million driven by an increase in the number of self-mining and hosted miners operating in our fleet . Depreciation expense increased $85.3 million driven by an increase in the number of self-mining units deployed, higher personnel and facilities operating costs driven by the opening and expansion of our data centers of $35.7 million, which includes increased stock-based compensation of $18.9 million, increased payroll and benefit costs for personnel of $6.7 million. The increase in cost of revenue was partially offset by lower equipment sales costs of $21.3 million. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of revenue totaled 77% and 70% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Gross profit of $82.7 million increased by $43.6 million, or 112%, from $39.1 million. The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by a $63.4 million increase in gross profit for the mining segment, driven by higher mining revenue as described above, partially offset by a $19.7 million decrease in the hosting and equipment segment. The decrease in gross margin for the mining segment was driven by higher miner depreciation as well as higher power costs and lower average price per bitcoin mined.

Operating loss of $1.07 billion decreased by $1.10 billion from an operating income of $24.6 million. The decrease was predominantly due to a $790.8 million impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, a $204.2 million impairment of digital assets, higher total operating expenses of $146.3 million and a $13.1 million loss on exchange or disposal of property, plant and equipment. The increase in total operating expenses was driven primarily by a $115.2 million increase in stock-based compensation, primarily reflecting an amendment to our restricted stock unit awards made in June 2022 that resulted in the elimination of the performance condition that had previously required a change in control or public offering before the awards could vest. The increase in operating expenses was further driven by a $12.4 million of higher professional fees, primarily related to investments made to support public company readiness, and $5.6 million of higher payroll and benefit costs for personnel. These decreases in operating income were partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $43.6 million and an increase on gain from sales of digital assets of $14.0 million.

Net loss of $1.28 billion decreased by $1.28 billion from net income of $3.4 million. The decrease in net income was due to a $790.8 million impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, a $204.2 million increase in impairment of digital assets, an increase in the fair value of the convertible notes (excluding interest expense and changes in instrument-specific credit risk) and corresponding loss of $191.0 million, higher total operating expenses of $146.3 million and an increase in interest expense, net of $35.8 million. These decreases in net income were partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $43.6 million, a decrease in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities and corresponding gain of $32.5 million, an increase on gain from sales of digital assets of $14.0 million and an increase in the income tax benefit of $6.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $118.9 million to $152.2 million from $33.3 million. The increase was due to higher gross profit, excluding depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, partially offset by higher operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization.

LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s Bitcoin balance totaled 1,959. The carrying value of our digital assets was $40.7 million, which reflects accumulated impairment losses of $20.1 million year-to-date.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as our net income or (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) gain on sale of intangible assets; (vi) restructuring charges; and (vii) certain additional non-cash or non-recurring items, that do not reflect our ongoing business operations. Adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”) is defined as our net income or (loss) divided by our weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, 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) gain on sale of intangible assets; (vi) restructuring charges; and (vii) certain additional non-cash or non-recurring items, that do not reflect our ongoing business operations. For additional information, including the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of net income (loss) per diluted share to Adjusted EPS, please refer to the tables below. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are important measures because they allow 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 press 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 and Adjusted EPS measures because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures 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 and Adjusted EPS on a supplemental basis. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate these measures in the same fashion. You should review the reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA and net (loss) income per diluted share to Adjusted EPS below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance measure, which is net (loss) income, for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):
