Revenue growth of 42.8% year-over-year for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024. Operational self-mining capacity as of September 30, 2024 increased 100% year-over-year to 10.0 EH/s. Subsequent to Q3 2024, strategic activities included: (i) sale of Nautilus JV interest, (ii) new Lake Mariner ground lease, (iii) convertible note offering and (iv) share buyback. EASTON, Md. – November 12, 2024 – TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of vertically integrated, next-generation digital infrastructure powered by predominantly zero-carbon energy, today announced its unaudited interim financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 and provided an operational update. Third Quarter 2024 GAAP Operational and Financial Highlights • Self-mined 442 bitcoin at the Lake Mariner Facility. • Revenue increased to $27.1 million in Q3 2024 compared to $19.0 million in Q3 2023. • Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) increased to $14.7 million in Q3 2024 compared to $8.3 million in Q3 2023. • Total self-mining hashrate capacity of 10.0 EH/s as of September 30, 2024, representing an increase of 100.0% relative to the same prior year period. Key GAAP Metrics ($ in thousands) Three Months Ended Q3 2024 Three Months Ended Q3 2023 % Change Revenue $ 27,059 $ 18,955 42.8 % Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) $ 14,660 $ 8,268 77.3 % Cost of revenue as % of revenue 54.2 % 43.6 % 24.3 % Third Quarter 2024 Non-GAAP Operational and Financial Highlights • Self-mined 555 bitcoin across the Lake Mariner and Nautilus Cryptomine facilities, which represented a 43.4% decrease relative to in Q3 2023. • Total value of bitcoin self-mined1 of $33.9 million in Q3 2024 compared to $27.6 million in Q3 2023. • Power cost per bitcoin self-mined increased year-over-year, to $30,448 per bitcoin in Q3 2024 from $9,322 per bitcoin in Q3 2023, due to an approximate doubling in network difficulty and the bitcoin reward halving in April 2024. • Adjusted EBITDA of $6.0 million in Q3 2024, an decrease of 33.6% from $9.0 million in Q3 2023. 1 Excludes BTC earned from profit sharing associated with a hosting agreement that expired in February 2024 at the Lake Mariner Facility and includes TeraWulf's net share of BTC produced at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility.

Operating Hash Rate (EH/s)6 8.1 5.0 62.0 % Recent Events Subsequent to Third Quarter 2024 • Completed sale of 25% equity interest in the Nautilus joint venture to its partner, a subsidiary of Talen Energy Corporation. • Completed construction of 2.5 MW HPC hosting proof-of-concept project at Lake Mariner. • Entered into new, long-term ground lease agreement at Lake Mariner extending both term and land area to support the Company’s expansion into HPC hosting. • Announced board of director approval for $200.0 million inaugural share repurchase program. • Completed $500.0 million convertible notes offering and simultaneous repurchase of $115.0 million worth of TeraWulf shares. 2 The Company’s share of the earnings or losses of operating results at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility is reflected within “Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, operating results of the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility are not reflected in revenue, cost of revenue or cost of operations lines in TeraWulf’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses these metrics as indicators of operational progress and effectiveness and believes they are useful to investors for the same purposes and to provide comparisons to peer companies. All figures except Bitcoin Self-Mined are estimates. 3 Excludes BTC earned from profit sharing associated with a hosting agreement that expired in February 2024 at the Lake Mariner Facility and TeraWulf’s net share of BTC produced at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility. 4 Computed as the weighted-average opening price of BTC on each respective day the Self-Mined Bitcoin is earned. 5 The Q3 2024 and Q3 2023 calculations excludes 0 and 14 bitcoin, respectively, earned via hosting profit share. 6 While nameplate inventory for TeraWulf’s two facilities was 10.0 EH/s and 5.5 EH/s as of Q3 2024 and Q3 2023, respectively, actual monthly hash rate performance 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. Average operating hash rate for Q3 2023 also includes hash rate related to a hosting agreement that expired in February 2024 at the Lake Mariner Facility.
Management Commentary “The third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter marked a pivotal turning point for TeraWulf, as we delivered strong results across our strategic, financial, and operational objectives,” said Paul Prager, Chairman and CEO of TeraWulf. “The sale of our interest in the Nautilus joint venture not only generated a substantial return but also sharpened our focus on scaling high-performance computing at Lake Mariner. Securing an expanded ground lease with exclusive rights to 750 MW of infrastructure capacity is a significant milestone in our growth strategy. Combined with the success of our $500.0 million capital raise, we are exceptionally well-positioned to seize new opportunities in both Bitcoin mining and HPC hosting as we enter 2025.” Prager continued, “We are excited about the surging demand for high-performance computing and the unique opportunity it presents for TeraWulf. Our power-ready energy assets offer a competitive advantage unmatched in the industry, providing a strong foundation as we scale our energy and digital infrastructure capabilities. We are focused on securing a customer contract by year-end, and remain dedicated to delivering outstanding value for our shareholders.” Patrick Fleury, TeraWulf’s CFO added, "We are fully funded to execute our growth plans through the first half of 2025. In October, we secured $500.0 million in convertible notes financing, using $60 million for a capped call to neutralize dilution up to a share price of $12.80. Simultaneously, we repurchased $115.0 million in common stock, resulting in no effective dilution until the stock exceeds $18.00 per share. This strategic move reinforces our commitment to shareholder value and positions us for strong growth ahead." Operations Update TeraWulf's current operational Bitcoin mining capacity includes approximately 195 MW at the Lake Mariner Facility. With the ongoing reinstallation of XP miners from Nautilus, the Company expects to increase its total self-mining hash rate to approximately 8.7 EH/s in the near term. On the WULF Compute front, TeraWulf is actively expanding its HPC hosting infrastructure at Lake Mariner. Notable milestones include the successful completion of a 2.5 MW HPC proof-of-concept project, specifically designed to support both current and next-generation GPU technologies. The construction of CB-1, a 20 MW Tier 3-grade HPC hosting facility, is progressing on schedule and is expected to be completed by Q1 2025. Preparations for CB-2, a 50 MW HPC hosting facility, are also well advanced, with key components already secured, positioning the Company for a timely launch by the end of Q2 2025. Third Quarter 2024 GAAP Financial Results Revenue in the third quarter of 2024 increased 42.8% to $27.1 million as compared to $19.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. This increase is attributable to a significant growth in operating self-mining hash rate as well as a higher average bitcoin price relative to the third quarter of 2023. Notably, revenue and expenses reported in the TeraWulf GAAP income statement excludes revenue and expenses from the Nautilus joint venture; the net financial impact of the Nautilus joint venture is captured within equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) in the third quarter of 2024 increased 77.3% to $14.7 million compared to $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) as a percentage of revenue increased to 54.2% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 43.6% in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to an approximate doubling in network difficulty and the bitcoin reward halving in April 2024, partially offset by an 62.0% increase in average operating hash rate and 117.3% increase in average value per bitcoin self-mined year-over-year. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company repaid $75.8 million of debt to fully pay down the remaining balance on its Term Loans ahead of maturity.

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 income, operating income, or any other measure calculated in accordance with U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating 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. The following table is a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure (i.e., net loss attributable to common stockholders) for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (23,033) $ (19,371) $ (44,100) $ (63,692)
