Asset-Level Financing
(Funds Majority of Capital Expenditures)

  • Secured by long-term take-or-pay customer contracts, plus the related GPUs, PP&E and data center leases
  • Attractive pricing given seniority of instrument and look through to credit-worthy customers
  • Utilized only when costs are incurred and infrastructure is deployed via delayed draw structure
  • Typically amortizes as customers make contractual payments, such that the debt is fully repaid by the time the customer contract expires
  • Excess cash flow is distributed as dividends to CoreWeave, Inc. during the life of the customer contract
  • Investment-grade ratings received when the underlying customers are investment grade (e.g., DDTL 4.0, which achieved an “A-” equivalent rating from three rating agencies)

Parent-Level Financing
(Funds Remainder of Capital Needs)

  • Funds capital needs beyond the asset-level facilities
  • Sources:
    • Customer prepayments
    • Free cash flow from stabilized contracts

Continued Progress in Driving Down Cost of Debt

Weighted Average Interest Rate (%)¹,²

Period FY-23³ FY-24 FY-25 Q2-26 Q2-26 Pro-Forma⁴
Weighted Average Interest Rate 14.9% 12.2% 9.0% 8.3% 7.8%
Total Debt ($Billion) $1.6 $8.0 $21.6 $35.6 $38.6
Total Debt / Revenue Backlog⁵ 0.2x 0.5x 0.3x 0.3x 0.4x

Right arrows appear between the chart bars.

Callout: Improvement from Q2-25 to Q2-26 represents nearly $1.1B of annualized interest savings based on Q2-26 debt balance.

Notes:

  1. Weighted average interest rates are calculated using effective interest rates and principal amounts of debt for each period as shown in our SEC filings, weighted by outstanding debt at the end of each period.
  2. We have estimated 10% effective interest rate for OEM and software license financing arrangements for each period shown.
  3. FY-23 weighted average interest rate is calculated using effective interest rates as of FY-24 and principal amounts of debt as of FY-23.
  4. Q2-26 pro forma debt illustratively shown as Q2-26 debt + $3.5B Convertible Note issuance at 2.625% interest, does not include DDTL 5.5.
  5. Revenue backlog includes remaining performance obligations, plus other amounts we estimate will be recognized as revenue in future periods under committed customer contracts, in each case, subject to the satisfaction of delivery and availability of service requirements. Revenue Backlog as of December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and June 30, 2026 were $9.9B, $15.1B, $66.8B and $104.2B, respectively.

Revenue Backlog¹

Revenue Backlog: $104.2 billion, up 246% YoY, driven by continued diversification from enterprise and AI-native customers.

Chart: Revenue Backlog¹
Note: $ in billions

Period Revenue backlog ≤24 months 25–48 months >48 months
Q2'25 $30.1 50% 40% 10%
Q2'26 $104.2 40% 39% 21%

up arrow: +246% YoY Growth

Callout: Does not include more than $25 billion of net new customer commitments added in early Q3.

Notes:

  1. Revenue backlog includes remaining performance obligations, plus other amounts we estimate will be recognized as revenue in future periods under committed customer contracts, in each case, subject to the satisfaction of delivery and availability of service requirements. Revenue backlog is expected to fluctuate from period to period, given the nature of our committed contract business and the size of committed contracts. The percentages shown in the bar charts represent the percentage of revenue backlog we expect to recognize in the months following the end of the quarterly reporting period.
  2. Q2'25 figures represent unsatisfied revenue backlog as of June 30, 2025. Q2'26 figures represent revenue backlog as of June 30, 2026.

Illustrative Impact from Ramping Multiple New Deployments Across Periods

Ramping Multiple Deployments Simultaneously Compresses Contribution Margins in the Near-term, Prior to Stabilizing in the Mid 20%s Once Fully Delivered

Chart — Aggregate Contribution Margin %

Period Aggregate Contribution Margin %
Period 0 25%
Period 1 14%
Period 2 5%
Period 3 9%
Period 4 12%
Period 5 14%
Period 6 15%
Period 7 16%
Period 8 17%
Stabilized 25%

Assumption: One new deployment of equal size begins to ramp in each period.

Callouts

  • Initial stabilized margin before new deployments
  • Deployment 1 begins with active power increasing ~30% period-over-period
  • DC operationalization and GPU installation commences
  • Margin troughs as Deployment 2 commences while Deployment 1 not yet stabilized
  • Margins recover meaningfully with active power base 3x+ the size of the initial power base
  • However, significant ongoing deployments remain
  • Aggregate contribution margin profile at stabilization

Adjusted operating income margin 16% 16% 6% 1% 5%

Note: Figures may not sum due to rounding.

  1. Acquisition related costs include direct transaction costs, such as due diligence, advisory, and professional services fees, and certain compensation and integration related expenses. We exclude acquisition related costs, as we believe these transaction-specific expenses are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
  2. In the second quarter of 2025, we began including an adjustment for the amortization of acquired intangibles in our calculation of adjusted operating income (loss). Prior period non-GAAP calculations for acquired intangible amortization are not being adjusted as these amounts were insignificant.

  1. Primarily relates to losses recognized upon the early extinguishment of certain OEM financing arrangements, as well as accelerated amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs related to our term loan facility governed by a previously terminated credit agreement, which was repaid in connection with the initial public offering.
  2. Acquisition related costs include direct transaction costs, such as due diligence, advisory, and professional services fees, and certain compensation and integration related expenses. We exclude acquisition related costs, as we believe these transaction-specific expenses are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
  3. In the second quarter of 2025, we began including an adjustment for the amortization of acquired intangibles in our calculation of adjusted net loss. Prior period non-GAAP calculations for acquired intangible amortization are not being adjusted as these amounts were insignificant.
  4. Primarily relates to a net unrealized gain on our strategic investments.
  5. In the second quarter of 2025, we began including an adjustment for the income tax effect related to our non-GAAP adjustments. Prior period non-GAAP calculations for the income tax effects on our non-GAAP adjustments are not being adjusted as these amounts were not material. Additionally, the third quarter of 2025 includes an adjustment for amounts related to the impact of the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on the first and second quarters of 2025, that were recorded in third quarter of 2025.
