Overview
We are a vertically integrated owner, developer, and operator of digital infrastructure assets in the United States, purpose-built to support HPC workloads, including AI, machine learning, and advanced cloud applications.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, HPC leasing revenue represented a majority of total revenue, reflecting the continued ramp of long-term contracted capacity at the Lake Mariner Data Campus.
The Company has undergone a deliberate strategic transition toward HPC leasing as its primary growth driver and operating focus. While TeraWulf historically operated bitcoin mining facilities and used flexible compute loads to support the development of its infrastructure platform, the Company has begun to curtail and repurpose portions of that infrastructure to support HPC development. Going forward, the Company’s capital allocation, development activities and operating focus are centered on HPC data center development, long-term data center leases and infrastructure supporting AI-driven compute workloads. The Company intends to continue bitcoin mining operations where they remain economically attractive and do not conflict with HPC development.
Our strategy is grounded in controlling utility-scale infrastructure and pairing compute-optimized facilities with reliable, long-duration power resources. Through ownership or long-term control of land, interconnection rights and electrical and cooling infrastructure - and, where appropriate, on-site generation - the Company seeks to deliver resilient, cost-efficient capacity to hyperscale and enterprise customers under long-term data center leases. These arrangements generally range from 10 to 25 years and, in certain cases, benefit from investment-grade credit support, enhancing the durability and bankability of contracted revenues. The Company expects these arrangements to provide long-term revenue visibility and support project-level financing as the platform scales.
The Company’s platform is differentiated by its control of utility-scale infrastructure, deep in-house power and grid expertise, and a scalable development model supported by long-term, credit-enhanced customer contracts.
Strategy Execution and Capital Allocation
Management’s execution of the Company’s strategy is focused on converting advantaged infrastructure positions into long-term, contracted HPC capacity. This includes the phased conversion of existing infrastructure, where appropriate, and the development of new campuses aligned with customer deployment schedules and power availability. This execution model emphasizes vertical integration, long-duration customer contracts supported by credit enhancement and disciplined, phased development.
A core element of this approach is infrastructure control. By retaining control over land use, interconnection rights and electrical and cooling systems—and on-site generation where appropriate—the Company is able to manage development risk, optimize capital deployment and maintain operational oversight throughout the lifecycle of its facilities. Management believes this approach reduces execution risk relative to development models that rely more extensively on third parties.
The Company’s contracting strategy prioritizes long-term data center leases with credit-supported customers. These arrangements reduce the Company’s exposure to commodity-driven revenue streams, including bitcoin price volatility, as its revenue mix continues to shift toward contracted HPC leasing. They also provide long-term revenue visibility, support project-level financing and reduce cash-flow volatility as the platform scales. Credit enhancement associated with certain customer contracts has been an important factor in accelerating development timelines and facilitating third-party financing.

Each campus is designed for modular, multi-phase expansion. Initial phases are intended to deliver near-term contracted capacity, while subsequent phases are aligned with customer deployment schedules and infrastructure readiness, including power availability and interconnection timing. Management believes this phased approach allows the Company to scale efficiently while maintaining capital discipline.
While the Company currently derives a significant portion of its revenue from bitcoin mining, HPC leasing is now the Company’s primary growth driver and operating focus.
Strategic Transactions
Acquisition of Beowulf E&D
On May 21, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Beowulf Electricity & Data LLC, Beowulf E&D (NY) LLC and Beowulf E&D (MD) LLC (collectively, “Beowulf E&D”). Additional detail regarding the consideration paid and contingent consideration associated with the Beowulf E&D acquisition is included in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The acquisition materially expanded the Company’s internal capabilities across power infrastructure development, site operations, engineering, and project execution. Approximately 94 employees transitioned to the Company as part of the transaction. Management believes this acquisition strengthened operational integration and execution capability as the Company scales its HPC platform.
Cayuga Site Ground Lease
On August 12, 2025, the Company entered into a long-term ground lease for approximately 183 acres in Lansing, New York. Upon completion of permitting and site development, the Cayuga Site has the potential for up to 400 MW of gross capacity, supporting approximately 320 MW of critical IT load. The Cayuga Site provides an additional anchor location with existing interconnection and supporting infrastructure and represents a key component of the Company’s forward development pipeline.
Abernathy Joint Venture
On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement governing the Abernathy Joint Venture. The Company holds a 50.1% equity interest in the joint venture. The Abernathy HPC Campus is designed for 168 MW of critical IT load, representing the full build-out of the site. The campus is 100% pre-leased to Fluidstack under a 25-year data center sublease with contractual rent escalators and options for term contraction. Lease obligations are supported by investment-grade credit enhancement provided by Google, materially strengthening the credit profile of the contracted revenues and facilitating third-party debt financing.
In July 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement selling its entire 50.1% equity interest in the Abernathy Joint Venture to a group of purchasers for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $530.0 million, representing a premium to the Company's invested capital. The consideration is payable in installments in 2026 and 2027. The Company believes this sales transaction realizes the value created through the Company's initial investment and provides capital for redeployment into wholly owned AI infrastructure, where the Company retains direct ownership, customer relationships, and operational control.
Justified Data Campus
In February 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a former industrial site in Hawesville, Kentucky (the “Justified Data Campus”). The Justified Data Campus is a strategically located brownfield infrastructure site which includes more than 250 buildable acres with immediate access to power infrastructure, including multiple high-voltage transmission lines, an on-site energized substation, and a direct connection to the regional transmission network. The Company plans on constructing and operating a HPC/AI data center on the Justified Data Campus. The Justified Data Campus has up to 480 MW of gross power availability; construction is expected to commence in 2026, with a phased buildout extending through 2027, subject to site planning and permitting approvals. In July 2026, the Company entered into a long-term datacenter lease agreement with Anthropic for approximately 401 MW of critical IT load at the Justified Data Campus. Initial capacity is expected to be placed into service during the second half of 2027, with the campus ramping to the full 401 MW by early 2028. The Justified Data Campus is expected to further diversify the Company’s geographic footprint and support growing customer demand for large-scale HPC infrastructure.

Muskie Data Campus
In May 2026, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Industrial Equity Partners LLC, which owned or held contractual rights to purchase approximately 308 acres of land in Grayson, Kentucky (the "Muskie Data Campus"). The Muskie Data Campus is a hyperscale HPC/AI development site.
Transmission infrastructure and energy service agreements for the Muskie Data Campus were executed concurrently with the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement pursuant to the applicable Industrial General Service tariff structure for large loads, establishing a clear pathway to long-term, large-scale power delivery. The energy services agreement with Kentucky Power Company, an AEP Company, provides for 1,000 MW of contracted electric service. Energy service is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2028.
Kentucky Power Company is also constructing a 345 kV substation connected to the existing 765 kV transmission network, providing redundant, utility-scale power infrastructure designed to support the full 1,000 MW Muskie Data Campus. Along with the Company's 480 MW Justified Data Campus, the Muskie Data Campus represents the Company’s second major digital infrastructure campus in Kentucky. This further expands the Company’s presence in a state that continues to emerge as an attractive market for large-scale AI and HPC development due to its robust energy infrastructure, supportive business environment, and strong engagement from state and local stakeholders.
Operations Overview
Lake Mariner Data Campus
The Lake Mariner Data Campus is TeraWulf’s flagship HPC campus and a core component of the Company’s contracted HPC platform. The Lake Mariner Data Campus is located in Barker, New York on the site of a former coal-fired power plant that was retired and repurposed into a modern digital infrastructure campus with operations that commenced in March 2022. The site benefits from substantial existing transmission infrastructure and is designed for scalable expansion.
As of June 30, 2026, the Lake Mariner Data Campus operated 145 MW of legacy bitcoin mining capacity and had 81 MW of critical IT HPC capacity. The campus is undergoing phased expansion to support additional HPC contracted deployments with gross capacity of approximately 500 MW in the near term, and with potential expansion to approximately 750 MW, subject to additional approvals from the NYISO. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, certain mining facilities were curtailed or repurposed to support HPC development, consistent with the Company’s strategic transition. In July 2026, TeraWulf had energized 102 MW of critical IT HPC leasing capacity at the Lake Mariner Data Campus.
The Lake Mariner Data Campus sources power from the NYISO Zone A grid, which is characterized by low-cost, low-carbon energy. Of the campus’s total power needs, 90 MW is allocated under an agreement with the New York Power Authority (“NYPA”) executed in February 2022, providing high-load factor power under a ten-year term commencing with NYPA’s initial power delivery.
The Lake Mariner Data Campus is designed to support multiple hyperscale and enterprise tenants through modular, phased development and incorporates advanced liquid-cooling systems, redundant electrical architectures, and scalable mechanical and network infrastructure optimized for high-density GPU deployments.
TeraWulf operates the Lake Mariner Data Campus through its subsidiaries La Lupa Data LLC (“La Lupa”) and Akela Data LLC (“Akela”). Collectively, La Lupa and Akela represent 438 MW of contracted critical IT HPC capacity at the Lake Mariner Data Campus, with some deliveries having commenced in 2025 and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and others extending into the second half of 2026 and early 2027.
La Lupa
In December 2024, La Lupa entered into long-term data center lease agreements with Core42 (the “Core42 Leases”), pursuant to which we committed to deliver 60 MW of critical IT load. The Core42 Leases have an initial ten-year term with two five-year renewal options and include customary provisions governing operating standards, service levels, and expansion rights. Construction commenced in 2024 and continued into 2025 and 2026; commissioning activities commenced in 2025 with phased deliveries aligned to meet Core42’s deployment schedule. Operationally, we continue to execute on our buildout. As of June 30, 2026, we had fully delivered CB-2, representing the full contracted capacity under the Core42 Leases currently in service.

Akela
In August 2025, Akela entered into three data center lease agreements (the “Akela Fluidstack Leases”) with Fluidstack USA I Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Fluidstack”), a leading AI cloud platform. Under the Akela Fluidstack Leases, we will provide 378 MW of critical IT load at the Lake Mariner Data Campus, which represents the majority of the remaining contracted HPC capacity at the Lake Mariner Data Campus. As of June 30, 2026, one of the Akela Fluidstack Leases had partially commenced and the remaining leases are expected to commence in the second half of 2026 and in early 2027.
The Akela Fluidstack Leases benefit from substantial credit support provided by Google, which supports Fluidstack’s payment and performance obligations under the leases and materially enhances the credit quality and bankability of our contracted lease revenues. This credit support was a key factor in enabling efficient financing and phased development of the Akela facilities.
Abernathy HPC Campus
In October 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “Abernathy Joint Venture Agreement”) with Fluidstack CS I Inc. (the “Fluidstack Member”) to govern the terms of operation of FS CS 1 LLC (the “Abernathy Joint Venture”), which will develop, lease and operate the Abernathy HPC Campus.
On July 6, 2026, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Fluidstack Member and certain other purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”) selling to the Purchasers all of the Company’s 50.1% membership interest in the Abernathy Joint Venture for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $530.0 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company no longer holds an equity interest in the Abernathy Joint Venture.
Regional Diversification and Platform Resilience
The development of the Justified Data Campus and the Muskie Data Campus provides the Company with meaningful regional diversification. By expanding its HPC platform beyond New York into the regions operated by the Mid-continent Independent System Operator (“MISO”) and PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”), the Company reduces its concentration in any single power market, regulatory framework or geographic area.
Geographic diversification also reduces the Company’s exposure to localized weather events, construction delays and operational disruptions. Management believes this diversification enhances overall platform resilience, supports customer deployment flexibility and strengthens the Company’s ability to maintain continuity of operations across its portfolio.
Power Strategy
The Company’s power strategy emphasizes reliability, efficiency, and responsible integration with regional electric grids. The Company’s campuses are designed to operate with long-duration, cost-competitive power resources that support both customer uptime requirements and broader grid stability.
The Company’s development and operations team brings deep experience in power generation, transmission, interconnection, and large-scale energy infrastructure, which informs site selection, facility design, and day-to-day operations. This expertise enables the Company to evaluate and develop complex, power-intensive sites efficiently and to structure infrastructure solutions that support high-density, mission-critical compute. The Company believes this power and infrastructure experience provides meaningful differentiation relative to many data center developers that do not have comparable in-house energy expertise.
As part of this strategy, the Company expects to acquire and develop sites that may include on-site generation, battery storage, and other dispatchable resources, primarily to enhance reliability for mission-critical compute and to support grid operations where appropriate. These assets are intended to improve operational resilience, enable participation in ancillary services, and and support stable, long-duration power supply for compute workloads. Rather than relying on a singular energy narrative, the Company focuses on responsible facility design, efficient power utilization, and long-term infrastructure stewardship.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash generated from operations, sale proceeds from bitcoin, equity issuances, debt financing, and project-level financing arrangements. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $3.0 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Capital requirements are driven primarily by HPC data center development, including significant capital expenditures associated with site development, electrical and mechanical infrastructure, and customer-specific fit-out.
Management expects future capital deployment to prioritize contracted HPC projects and disciplined expansion of the Company’s development pipeline. The Company continues to evaluate debt, equity and project-level financing alternatives based on project requirements, customer commitments and prevailing market conditions, while seeking to manage balance-sheet risk.
Outlook
The Company expects future results to be increasingly influenced by the development and operation of its HPC data center platform. As contracted HPC capacity is delivered and energized and legacy bitcoin mining infrastructure is further curtailed or repurposed, the Company expects its revenue mix to continue shifting toward HPC leasing.
Future performance will depend on the timing of construction, commissioning, customer deployment schedules, access to power and interconnection, and the availability of project-level financing. Management expects capital deployment in future periods to be focused primarily on contracted HPC projects and disciplined expansion of the Company’s development pipeline.
The table below presents the lease and nonlease components of HPC lease revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2026, our fleet of miners ranged in age from 1.0 year to 4.1 years with an average age of approximately 1.8 years. We do not have scheduled downtime for our miners and while we periodically perform unscheduled maintenance on our miners, such downtime has not been significant historically. When performing unscheduled maintenance, depending on the length of estimated repair time, we may replace a miner with a substitute miner to limit overall downtime. As of June 30, 2026, our fleet of miners at the LMD Bitcoin Mining Facilities had a range of energy efficiency from 15.0 to 23.0 joules per terahash (“j/th”) and has an average energy efficiency of 17.6 j/th.
Bitcoin Mining - Share of Global Hashrate
Several factors influence our ability to mine bitcoin profitably, including bitcoin’s USD value, mining difficulty, global hashrate, power costs, fleet energy efficiency, and overall data center efficiency. Among these, energy efficiency is a critical driver of profitability, as power costs represent the most significant direct expense in bitcoin mining. We believe we operate a highly efficient mining fleet, optimized to maximize output while minimizing energy consumption. To assess operational performance and effectiveness, the Company tracks key metrics, which we believe are also valuable to investors for evaluating our progress and benchmarking against industry peers.
The table below presents our miner efficiency and computing power as compared to the global computing power as of June 30, 2026 and 2025:
Combined facilities June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025
Global hashrate (EH/s)(1) 992.0 843.0
Miner efficiency (j/th)(2) 16.4 17.7
TeraWulf operational hashrate (EH/s)(3) 5.6 12.2
TeraWulf percentage of global hashrate 0.6 % 1.4 %
(1) Total global hashrate obtained from YCHARTS (https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_network_hash_rate).
(2) Joules of energy required to produce each terahash of processing power
(3) While nameplate at the LMD Bitcoin Mining Facilities was 10.6 EH/s and 12.8 EH/s as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, actual operational hashrate depends on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) performance tuning to increase efficiency and maximize margin, scheduled outages (scopes to improve reliability or performance), unscheduled outages, curtailment due to participation in various cash generating demand response programs, derate of ASICS due to adverse weather and ASIC maintenance and repair.
As of June 30, 2026, our operational hashrate represented approximately 0.6% of the total global hashrate, aligning with our share of global blockchain rewards. As of that date, this translated to approximately 1 bitcoin mined per day. To maintain profitably, we focus on optimizing operational efficiency and cost management, ensuring that our mining rewards consistently cover direct operating expenses.

(1) “Cost to mine one bitcoin” is a cash cost metric and does not include depreciation. Although the Company recognizes depreciation with respect to its mining assets, it does not consider depreciation in determining whether it is economical to operate its mining equipment. As a result, the Company does not consider the sunk costs or depreciation of past capital investments in its historical or forecasted breakeven analysis. If depreciation of our miner fleet were factored into the above cost of mining analysis, it would add $52,939 and $68,305 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. bringing the total “cost to mine one bitcoin” to $97,486 and $91,101 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. If depreciation of our miner fleet were factored into the above cost of mining analysis, it would add $33,745 and $35,294 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, bringing the total “cost to mine one bitcoin” to $79,353 and $89,788 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
(2) Computed as the weighted-average opening price of bitcoin on each respective day the mined bitcoin is earned.
Power costs are the most significant expense in our bitcoin mining operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred gross power costs of $11.2 million and $25.2 million, respectively. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company curtailed operations at the LMD Bitcoin Mining Facilities in response to weather events, energy price spikes, and participation in demand response programs. The Company records expected payments to be received for demand response programs as a reduction in cost of revenue, which amounted to $2.8 million and $16.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $3.1 million and $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were significant curtailment periods for the Company’s bitcoin mining operations due to sustained low temperatures throughout the Northeastern United States which led to significantly reduced power consumption and significantly higher demand response proceeds for the Lake Mariner Data facility resulting in a lower than typical cost of power for the period.
Energy prices are highly volatile, influenced by global events that can drive nationwide fluctuations in power costs. At the LMD Bitcoin Mining Facilities, power costs are subject to variable market rates, which can change hourly based on wholesale electricity pricing. While this introduces some unpredictability, it also provides us with the flexibility to actively manage our energy consumption, optimizing for profitability and efficiency. Energy prices are also highly sensitive to weather conditions, such as winter storms and polar vortices, which can increase regional power demand and drive up costs. During such events, we may curtail operations to avoid consuming power at peak rates, or we may be curtailed under demand response programs in which we participate. The average aggregate realized power prices at the

Table of Contents
LMD Bitcoin Mining Facilities were $0.049 and $0.024 per kilowatt hour during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $0.053 and $0.065 the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Our management team continuously monitors market conditions to determine when and for how long to curtail operations. If curtailment is not mandated under demand response programs, we make real-time decisions to curtail mining whenever power prices exceed the value of the fixed bitcoin reward. As a result, curtailment increases when bitcoin’s value declines or energy prices rise, and decreases when bitcoin’s value appreciates or energy costs fall. These decisions are actively managed on an hour-by-hour basis to optimize profitability.
The Company has purchased all miners with cash, without relying on limited recourse equipment financing for miner acquisitions. To support operations and purchase miners and other fixed assets, we have raised capital through both equity issuances and corporate-level debt. Costs related to these capital raises are not included in this analysis.
Miner acquisition costs, or capital expenditures, are not factored into the cost of mining analysis, as they do not impact the marginal cost of producing one bitcoin. Instead, these costs are recorded as property, plant, and equipment in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method, with estimated useful lives of four years for miners and five years for computer equipment.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation expense of $2.6 million and $14.5 million, respectively, related to a certain miner building and related miners of which the Company shortened their useful lives based on expected shutdown of operations for purposes of supporting the HPC operations. The Company did not recorded accelerated depreciation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. While our standard depreciation period for miners is four years, historically low power costs may allow for a longer actual useful life in certain cases. However, if depreciation were included in the cost of mining analysis, it would add $52,939 and $68,305 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. and $33,745 and $35,294 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Estimating asset useful lives requires management judgment, particularly given the rapid evolution of next-generation mining rigs in industrial-scale bitcoin mining. Depreciation schedules may be adjusted if events, regulatory changes, or shifts in operating conditions indicate a need for revision. Management continuously evaluates factors such as future energy market conditions, operating costs, maintenance practices, and capital investment needs to ensure depreciation assumptions remain reasonable. When an asset’s estimated useful life is adjusted—either shortened or extended—depreciation provisions are updated accordingly, which could have a material impact on future financial results.
Recent Developments
In July 2026, the Company amended certain of the Akela Fluidstack Leases to increase the aggregate contracted critical IT load under two leases from 162 MW to 168 MW. The amendments also provide for commencement on a data hall-by-data hall basis, with the affected leases expected to commence in phases during the second half of 2026 and early 2027. In connection with certain tenant-requested scope changes, the Company will receive additional base rent per kilowatt of tenant critical power beginning on the applicable data hall commencement date, subject to annual escalation.
In July 2026, the Company entered into a long-term datacenter lease agreement with Anthropic PBC (the “Anthropic HPC Lease”) for specified datacenter infrastructure at the Justified Data Campus to support Anthropic’s HPC operations. Under the Anthropic HPC Lease, the Company will provide approximately 401 MW of critical IT load. The Anthropic HPC Lease has an initial term of 20 years commencing upon delivery of the applicable leased premises and includes two five-year extension options exercisable by Anthropic. Delivery is expected to occur in phases, with initial capacity expected in the second half of 2027 and full delivery expected in early 2028.
In July 2026, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with the Purchasers selling its entire 50.1% membership interest in the Abernathy Joint Venture for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $530.0 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company no longer holds an equity interest in the Abernathy Joint Venture.
Results of Operations
The Company generates revenue in the form of bitcoin by providing hash computation services to a mining pool operator to mine bitcoin and validate transactions on the global bitcoin network using miners owned by the Company. The earned bitcoin are routinely sold for U.S. dollars.

Table of Contents
In July 2025, the Company commenced its HPC leasing operations. HPC lease revenue is generated by leasing datacenter space and providing related services to our HPC customers. These leasing agreements include lease components related to the right to use datacenter space and nonlease components for power delivery, physical security, and maintenance services. HPC power costs are passed through to the customer without markup and are included on a gross basis in HPC lease revenue.
The Company’s business strategy centers on maximizing revenue and profitability of our bitcoin mining fleet while expanding our datacenter infrastructure to support HPC leasing activities. We plan to operate infrastructure necessary for profitable bitcoin mining while pursuing high-value HPC leasing opportunities that leverage our power utilization and digital infrastructure. We are confident our expertise in power infrastructure and digital asset mining can be favorably applied to the design, development, and operation of large-scale datacenters. These datacenters are optimized for high-value applications such as cloud computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. We are actively seeking opportunities to expand into these areas using our knowledge, expertise, and existing infrastructure wherever favorable market opportunities arise.

Costs and Expenses
The following table presents cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2026 2025 2026 2025
Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) $ 12,400 $ 22,094 $ 14,761 $ 46,647
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $12.4 million and $22.1 million, respectively, representing a decrease of $9.7 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in gross power costs of $14.5 million related to bitcoin mining operations due to reduced bitcoin mining power consumption as the Company curtailed its mining operations and repurposed two miner buildings to support the expansion of HPC operations at the Lake Mariner Data Campus. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gross power costs of $4.5 million related to HPC leasing activities and $2.4 million of costs incurred by the Company in connection with its fit-out services under the HPC Leases.
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation) for the six months ended ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $14.8 million and $46.6 million, respectively, representing a decrease of $31.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in gross power costs of $27.7 million related to bitcoin mining operations due to reduced bitcoin mining power consumption as the Company curtailed its mining operations and repurposed two miner buildings to support the expansion of HPC operations at the Lake Mariner Data Campus. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gross power costs of $3.1 million related to HPC leasing activities and $3.8 million of costs incurred by the Company in connection with its fit-out services under the HPC Leases. In addition, during the six months ended months ended June 30, 2026, the Company significantly curtailed operations at the LMD Bitcoin Mining Facilities due to sustained low temperatures in upstate New York which led to significantly lower gross power costs and significantly higher demand response proceeds resulting in a net negative realized cost of power for the period. Proceeds from participation in demand response programs are recorded as a reduction in cost of revenue in the period in which the underlying program occurs. These proceeds totaled $16.9 million and $5.9 million during the six months ended months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company is actively expanding its enrollment in such available programs in New York State.
The following table presents operating expenses (in thousands):

Operating expenses – related party 1,733 1,475 3,919 3,223
$ 23,438 $ 3,514 $ 34,640 $ 6,406
Operating expenses (including related party) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were $23.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, an increase of $19.9 million. Operating expenses increased primarily driven by the costs related to expansion of HPC operations and constructions activities at the our HPC sites of $18.5 million as well as $1.5 million of bitcoin mining operations mainly related to miner repair costs.
Operating expenses (including related party) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were $34.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively, an increase of $28.2 million. Operating expenses increased primarily driven by the costs related to expansion of HPC operations and constructions activities at the our HPC sites of $26.8 million as well as $1.4 million of bitcoin mining operations mainly related to miner repair costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $102.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $82.6 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $12.8 million increase in employee compensation and benefits associated with increased headcount following the acquisition of Beowulf E&D in May 2025 as well as larger employee base to support the Company’s long term growth strategy. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses – related party increased $10.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to a $14.4 million charitable contribution to The TeraWulf Charitable Foundation in the form of Common Stock, partially offset by costs incurred pursuant to the Services Agreement with Beowulf E&D during three months ended June 30, 2025 prior to the acquisition of Beowulf E&D and the termination of the Services Agreement in May 2025.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (including related party expenses) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $254.7 million and $64.4 million, respectively, a net increase of $190.3 million,
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $183.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to (i) a $145.4 million increase in stock-based compensation, (ii) a $24.7 million increase in employee compensation and benefits associated with increased headcount following the acquisition of Beowulf E&D in May 2025 as well as larger employee base to support the Company’s long term growth strategy, and (iii) a $4.3 million increase in information technology, legal and other professional fees. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses – related party increased $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to a $14.4 million charitable contribution to The TeraWulf Charitable Foundation in the form of Common Stock, partially offset by costs incurred pursuant to the Services Agreement with Beowulf E&D during six months ended June 30, 2025 prior to the acquisition of Beowulf E&D and the termination of the Services Agreement in May 2025.
Depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $21.2 million and $18.8 million, respectively, an increase of $2.4 million. Depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $49.7 million and $34.4 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to mining and HPC infrastructure constructed and placed in service during 2025 at the Lake Mariner Data Campus. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation expense of $2.6 million and $14.5 million related to a certain miner building and related miners of which the Company shortened their useful life based on expected shutdown of operations as well as certain electrical equipment acquired at the Justified Data Campus, each for purposes of supporting the HPC operations.
Loss (gain) on fair value of digital assets, net during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $0.8 million and $(0.9) million, respectively. Loss (gain) on fair value of digital assets, net during the six months ended months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $1.5 million and $(17,000), respectively, due to the volatility and fluctuations in the price of bitcoin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration was $0 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $1.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The change in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities for the acquisition of Beowulf E&D which were fully settled during the year ended December 31, 2025 upon achievement of the related earnout milestones.
Impairment of property, plant, and equipment was $0 and $25.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Impairment of property, plant, and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to $16.8 million impairment charge related to asset retirement costs assumed in connection with the Justified Data Campus

acquisition. The Company assumed an asset retirement obligation as part of the acquisition and recorded the related asset retirement cost in property, plant and equipment, net. Because the related acquired assets were not expected to provide future economic benefit, the capitalized asset retirement cost was fully impaired during the period. The increase was also driven by $8.9 million impairment charges related to the shutdown of a mining facility and the cessation of related bitcoin mining operations to support the Company’s transition to HPC operations.
Loss on disposals of property, plant, and equipment was $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 due to a $0.2 million loss on the disposal of 360 miners for proceeds of $0.1 million and a $0.3 million write-down of 500 miners reclassified as held for sale, partially offset by a $0.2 million gain on the sale of certain transformers at the Justified Data Campus. Loss on disposals of property, plant, and equipment was $3.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 due to 2,918 miner sold or otherwise disposed in May and June 2025 for proceeds of $1.9 million.
Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $56.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively, an increase of $52.4 million. The increase is primarily attributed to increases in stated interest of $43.2 million and increase in amortization of debt issuance costs of $9.1 million related to the 2030 Secured Notes, 2031 Convertible Notes and 2032 Convertible Notes which were issued in 2025.
Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $123.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively, an increase of $115.4 million. The increase is primarily attributed to increases in stated interest of $93.6 million and increase in amortization of debt issuance costs of $21.8 million related to the 2030 Secured Notes, 2031 Convertible Notes and 2032 Convertible Notes which were issued in 2025.
Change in fair value of warrants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $755.7 million and $972.0 million, respectively, related to the Google Warrants driven by the increase in the Company’s stock price.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was $7.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 related to the full prepayment of the outstanding $100.0 million principal amount of the Bridge Credit Facility and the termination of the Bridge Credit Agreement. The early repayment resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million, representing the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $29.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, an increase of $27.8 million. Interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $58.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, an increase of $54.9 million. These increases were primarily due to higher average cash balances during the period.
Other income was $0.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, consisting primarily of proceeds from the sale of scrap metal generated in connection with the Company’s construction activities as well as net unrealized gains on the restricted trust investments.
Income tax provision was $28,000 and $56,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Based upon the level of historical U.S. losses and future projections over the period in which the net deferred tax assets are deductible, at this time, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the remaining deductible temporary differences, and as a result the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, except for a $132,000 and $76,000 deferred tax liability as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, arising from indefinite-lived assets (e.g., tax-deductible goodwill related to the acquisition of Beowulf E&D) that cannot be used as a source of taxable income to support the realization of deferred tax assets when a full valuation allowance is in place.
Equity in net loss of investee, net of tax was $11.1 million and $22.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, which represents TeraWulf’s proportional share of net loss of the Abernathy Joint Venture which was formed in October 2025 and has not yet commenced operations.
Non-GAAP Measure
To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and it should not be considered as a substitute for net loss, operating loss, or any other measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
64
Table of Contents
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for (i) impacts of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (ii) stock-based compensation expense, amortization of right-of-use asset, accretion of asset retirement obligations, related party expenses settled with respect to Common Stock and stock-based charitable contribution to The TeraWulf Charitable Foundation 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 loss of investee, net of tax, related to the Abernathy Joint Venture; (iv) interest income and other income for which management believes are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating activities; (v) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on disposals of property, plant and equipment and impairment of property, plant and equipment which are not reflective of the Company’s general business performance; and (vi) acquisition-related transaction costs which management believes are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating activities.
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 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.
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 U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with U.S. 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 U.S. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Table of Contents
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $(154.3) million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, HPC operations resulted in segment profit of $19.2 million as the Company began HPC operations during the third quarter of 2025. While the Company continued to profitably mine bitcoin during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported $18.9 million lower digital asset segment profit as compared to the prior year primarily due to lower bitcoin revenue partially offset by lower cost of revenue as the Company significantly curtailed operations at the Lake Mariner Data Campus during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 the Company reported increased interest income of $54.9 million partially offset by selling, general and administrative expenses (including related party, but exclusive of noncash stock based compensation) of $43.7 million and interest paid of $131.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company also received inflows from prepaid rent from customers of $90.0 million (ii) interest income proceeds net of interest paid of $7.1 million.
Cash used in investing activities was $1,605.7 million and $132.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily attributed to an increase in purchases of plant and equipment of $1,164.9 million related to infrastructure intended to support expansion into HPC leasing operations and $231.4 million cash payment related to the asset acquisitions of the Justified Data Campus and the Muskie Data Campus.
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1,065.8 million and $(52.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily attributed to $1,199.8 million of net proceeds from the April 2026 public offering of Common Stock and sales of Common Stock under the ATM Program, partially offset by $131.5 million in taxes paid related to net share settlements of stock-based compensation awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased $33.3 million of treasury stock under the Share Repurchase Program and paid $18.9 million in taxes related to net share settlements of stock-based compensation awards.
Financial Condition
The Company incurred a net loss of $940.8 million and reported cash used in operating activities of $154.3 million for six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,619.2 million, a working capital balance of $(957.4) million, total TeraWulf stockholders’ equity of $147.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $2,361.2 million. During 2025, the Company leveraged its strategic transition toward HPC leasing and execution of long-term lease agreements with Fluidstack, which benefit from substantial credit support provided by Google, to enable efficient financing and funding of the phased development of the La Lupa and Akela facilities. Prior to these developments, the Company historically relied primarily on proceeds from sales of digital assets, both self-mined and distributed from the joint venture which owned the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, and its issuances of debt and equity to fund its principal operations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The above discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 for a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

HPC Leasing
In December 2024, the Company entered into long-term datacenter lease agreements (the “HPC Leases”) with a customer for specified datacenter infrastructure at the Lake Mariner Data Campus to support the customer’s HPC operations. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determined at contract inception that these agreements contained a lease, comprising lease components related to the right to use datacenter space and nonlease components for power delivery, physical security, and maintenance services. As of June 30, 2026, all of the Core42 HPC Leases have commenced and one of the Fluidstack HPC Leases has partially commenced and the remaining Fluidstack HPC Leases are expected to commence in the second half of 2026 as well as in early 2027.
The Company has elected the practical expedient available under ASC 842, Leases, to combine the nonlease revenue components that have the same pattern of transfer as the related operating lease components into a single combined component. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC 842 as an operating lease if the lease components are the predominant components and is accounted for under ASC 606 if the nonlease components are the predominant components. The lease components are the predominant components in the Company’s long term lease agreements and the single combined component in these arrangements are accounted for under the operating lease guidance of ASC 842. Recognition of HPC lease revenue begins when the Company determines the asset has been made available for the customer’s use.
The Company has concluded that it is probable that substantially all of the payments will be collected over the term of the arrangements and recognize the total combined fixed payments under the agreements on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable term. The Company recognizes the difference between straight-line revenue recognized during the period and the lease payments due pursuant to the underlying arrangement as deferred rent liability or accrued rent receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain arrangements include options to extend the term. These extension options are not reasonably certain to be exercised and are excluded from the lease term and calculation of lease payments at lease commencement.
Payments for physical security and other routine maintenance services are included in the fixed lease payments. The lease agreements provide for variable payments for power delivery. Power delivery services represent a stand-ready obligation to make power available to the customer over the coterminous lease term and have the same pattern of transfer as the related operating lease components. Customers are charged monthly for actual power costs incurred at current utility rates. These payments from customers for power delivery are recognized as variable lease payments in accordance with the practical expedient elected. Variable lease payments are presented on a gross basis and are included in HPC lease revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The lease agreements also provide for variable payments for certain fit-out services as requested by the customer and the Company recognizes revenues as performance obligations are satisfied. In the course of providing its services, the Company routinely subcontracts for services and incurs other direct costs on behalf of its customers. These costs are passed through to the customers, generally with a mark-up, and, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are included in the Company’s HPC lease revenue.
Digital assets
Digital assets consists of bitcoin earned as noncash consideration for providing hash computation services to a mining pool in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Digital assets is classified as a current asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as it is highly liquid and the Company expects to sell it within the next twelve months to support operations.
The Company measures digital assets at fair value each reporting period in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Fair value is determined using Level 1 inputs based on quoted prices from the active trading platform on which the Company regularly transacts, which is considered its principal market for bitcoin. Because bitcoin is continuously traded, the Company uses the midnight UTC price to align with its revenue recognition policy. Gains and losses from remeasurement are included within “loss (gain) on fair value of digital assets, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For bitcoin sales, gains and losses are calculated as the difference between cash proceeds and the cost basis, using a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. These gains and losses are also included within “loss (gain) on fair value of digital assets, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents
Bitcoin earned through mining activities is recorded as an adjustment in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, reconciling net loss to cash flows from operating activities. Bitcoin received as distributions-in-kind from equity investees is disclosed in supplemental noncash investing activities.
Prior to July 2024, proceeds from sales of digital assets were included within cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as bitcoin was converted nearly immediately into cash during that period. Starting in July 2024, the Company no longer converts bitcoin into cash immediately and accordingly, proceeds from sales of digital assets are included within cash flows from investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Long-lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Judgment is necessary in estimating the Company’s various assets’ useful lives. This includes evaluating the Company’s own usage experience with its currently owned assets, the quality of materials used in construction-related projects and, for its miners, the rate of technological advancement and market-related factors such as the price of bitcoin and the bitcoin network hashrate, which impact the value of the miners. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Changes in depreciation and amortization, generally accelerated depreciation, are determined and recorded when estimates of the remaining useful lives or residual values of long-term assets change.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset, or asset group, may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Significant judgment is used when estimating future cash flows, particularly the price of bitcoin and the network hashrate. Any impairment loss recorded is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Should our estimates of useful lives, undiscounted cash flows, or asset fair values change, additional and potentially material impairments may be required, which could have a material impact on our reported financial results.
Stock-based compensation
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost related to share-based payment awards at the grant date of the award, based on the estimated fair value of the award. For restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with time-based vesting, the fair value is determined by the Company’s common stock price on the date of the grant. For RSUs with vesting based on market conditions (“PSUs”), the effect of the market condition is considered in the determination of fair value on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs is recorded over the derived service period unless the market condition is satisfied in advance of the derived service period, in which case a cumulative catch-up is recognized as of the date of achievement. Stock-based compensation for PSUs is recorded regardless of whether the market conditions are met unless the service conditions are not met. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company uses significant judgment in determining the likelihood of meeting milestones and market conditions. Inputs into valuation models such as Monte Carlo simulations include both the Company’s and guideline public company historical and expected annual volatility and, depending on the inputs selected, the Company could calculate significantly different estimated grant date fair values, materially impacting the valuation of our stock-based awards and the stock-based compensation expense we recognize in future periods.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company follows the provision of ASC 740 related to accounting for uncertain income tax positions. When tax returns are filed, it is more likely than not that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely that not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. The tax benefits recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with the tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the Company’s balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The most critical estimate for income taxes is the determination of whether to record a valuation allowance for any net deferred tax asset, including net loss carryforwards, whereby management must estimate whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be realized.
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 - Business Combinations, by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measured at the acquisition date fair value. The determination of fair value involves assumptions,estimates and judgments. Any purchase consideration in excess of the estimated fair values of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Asset Acquisition
In an asset acquisition, the Company recognizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the cost of acquiring the assets, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition and no gain or loss is recognized as of the date of acquisition unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs from the assets’ carrying amounts on the Company’s books. If the consideration given includes noncash consideration in the form of noncash assets, liabilities assumed or equity interests issued, the Company measures the cost of acquiring the assets based on either the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition and any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the identifiable assets based on relative fair values. Any contingent consideration in an asset acquisition is recognized only when amounts are both probable and estimable, at which point the consideration is allocated to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill is not subject to amortization, and instead, assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount in accordance with ASC 350.
