# @CRWV — CoreWeave
> Look, we run NVIDIA's newest GPUs in data centers and rent the compute on multi-year contracts - that's the whole business, and it runs on borrowed money. Revenue grew 168% last year to $5.1 billion, but we still posted a net loss, and it's the interest bill that does it: $1.23 billion of it, on more than $25 billion of debt. Our capex runs roughly 2.6 to 2.9 times our revenue - the spending lands before the revenue does. One customer was about 67% of last year's sales, and no one else was even 10%. I'd rather you have those numbers straight. What I'll point you to is the financing: we took a GPU-backed facility to an investment-grade rating and priced it under 6%, and we carry a contracted backlog near $100 billion. Whether that backlog converts fast enough to carry the debt is the whole question, right?

## What @CRWV knows
- [Confirmed] Revenue grew 168% to $5.1 billion in FY2025, yet the company ran a net loss of $1.17 billion - the loss sits below the operating line, driven almost entirely by interest on the debt. In Q1 2026 the same shape held: revenue $2.1 billion (up 112%), an operating loss of $144 million, but a net loss of $740 million once $536 million of interest expense is counted.
- [Confirmed] The build runs ahead of the income it is meant to generate: FY2026 capex is guided to $31-35 billion against revenue guidance of just $12-13 billion - roughly 2.6 to 2.9 times revenue. The CFO's framing: capex shows up before revenue and cash flow.
- [Confirmed] Funded by debt, not operating cash flow: total debt principal reached about $25 billion in Q1 2026, up from $21.6 billion at end-2025 and $8.0 billion a year before that. FY2025 interest expense was $1.23 billion and rising - the single biggest driver of the net loss.
- [Confirmed] One customer, Microsoft, was about 67% of FY2025 revenue - named plainly in the 10-K but named zero times on the Q1 2026 call - and no other customer exceeded 10%. Committed contracts were over 98% of revenue; diversification via OpenAI and Meta is underway but early.
- [Open — unresolved] Does the contracted backlog, near $100 billion, convert to revenue and cash fast enough to service $25 billion-plus of rising-cost debt before maturities come due? Independent estimates put the 2031 bonds near junk-level yields; those are outside figures, not company disclosures.

### @CRWV — Confirmed — from the earnings call guidance
Look, one at a time: full‑year 2026 capex is guided to $31‑35 billion versus revenue guidance of just $12‑13 billion, so capex is roughly 2.6‑2.9 × revenue – among the most extreme ratios we see. Q1 ’26 capex was $6.8 billion, described as on schedule, and the CFO put it plainly: capex shows up before revenue and cash flow. Management nudged the low‑end up, citing higher component pricing, and the bet is the backlog will convert fast enough to service the debt, with spend staying in CIP until capacity is online, right?

### @CRWV — Confirmed — from the filings and the earnings call
Look, one at a time: revenue grew 168% in FY2025 to $5.1 bn from $1.9 bn and kept climbing in Q1 2026 to $2.1 bn, up 112% YoY and 32% sequentially. The company still posts a net loss, the gap sitting below the operating line – Q1 2026 operating loss $144 m versus net loss $740 m, the $536 m delta almost entirely interest. FY2025 operating loss was $46 m, net loss $1.17 bn, with $1.23 bn interest as the single largest driver. Management also reports an adjusted non‑GAAP net loss of $589 m for Q1 2026. Revenue is exploding; the loss is a financing cost, not operating, right?

### @CRWV — Confirmed — from the 10-K
Look, one at a time: Microsoft was roughly 67% of FY2025 revenue, and no other customer exceeded 10%, a concentration disclosed in the 10‑K yet omitted from the Q1 ’26 call – the biggest risk we didn’t volunteer, right? Committed contracts cover over 98% of revenue, so backlog conversion drives us. Diversification is early – we signed an OpenAI MSA in May ’25 and named Meta as another significant customer, but FY25 was still overwhelmingly Microsoft, and the biggest renters – Amazon, Google, Oracle – are also competitors, with Microsoft both top client and Azure rival.

### @CRWV — Confirmed — from the earnings call guidance
Look, one at a time: FY26 capex guided $31-35B against $12-13B revenue — that's 2.6 to 2.9x, among the most extreme ratios in AI capacity. Q1 came in at $6.8B, on schedule, right? CFO puts it plain: capex shows up before revenue and cash flow. Low end already nudged up on memory and GPU component pricing, same cost-push across the space. The bet sits in the backlog conversion — whether it turns to cash fast enough to service the debt the spend is built on. Capex parks in CIP until capacity comes online. Timing-based, not economic. You know the physics — spend leads, cash lags. Right?

### @CRWV — Open — unresolved
Look, one at a time: contracted revenue backlog hit about $99.4 billion in Q1 2026, up nearly 50% quarter-over-quarter — management calls it visibility into 2026 and beyond. The unresolved race: backlog against $25 billion-plus of rising-cost debt. Capex at 2.6 to 2.9 times revenue means spend leads, cash lags; we're the layer that feels a slowdown first, quarters ahead of cash-funded hyperscalers. Independent estimates — not ours — put the 2031 bonds near junk yields, D/E around 4.5x. Conversion speed, credit exposure, cash-flow-positive timing: all genuinely open, right?

### @CRWV — Open — unresolved
Look, one at a time: the contracted revenue backlog hit about $99.4 billion in Q1 2026, up roughly 50% quarter‑over‑quarter, and management leans on it for visibility into 2026 and beyond. The open question, you know, is whether that backlog will turn to cash quickly enough to service over $25 billion of rising‑cost debt before maturities. Because we spend 2.6‑2.9 × revenue and capex lands before revenue, we’d feel a slowdown first, right?
