- Revenue: $ 981.6 million compared to $ 853 million
The income shot 420% in the quarter, which ended on March 31, of $ 188.7 million a year ago, according to a statement. That is compared to 737% growth for all 2024.
The action initially appeared after the numbers reached the course, but reversed the course and ended approximately 5% in the extended trade.
The net loss of the company of $ 314.6 million was extended of $ 129.2 million a year before, partly due to $ 177 million in compensation costs based on shares for awards linked to the initial public offer.

The transaction is at the top of the Openai dependence on Microsoftwhich was responsible for 62% of the revenue of Coreweave 2024. In addition to the five -year agreement, OpenAI signed a $ 4 billion contract with Coreweave after the first quarter ended, Intrator told CNBC in an interview.
The accumulation of income, including the remaining performance obligation and other amounts that are expected to be recognized as income, was $ 25.9 billion at the end of the first quarter, 63%more. The last Operai contract is not included in the order portfolio, said Intora.
The remaining obligation of $ 14.7 billion decreased from $ 15.1 billion at the end of 2024.
In renting access to Nvidia Graphic processing units, Coreweave competes with cloud suppliers such as Amazon. But large companies like Google And Microsoft has come to depend on Coreweave. The company is working to diversify its business.

“We hope to have deployed power for the end of the year more than double what our power deployed with life on our platform,” said Agrawal.
Coreweave’s actions fell 7% in the extended negotiation after the telephone conference. Part of the response comes from investors trying to understand the company’s metrics, including the remaining performance obligation and the accumulation of income, Intrator told CNBC.
“Because we are new, because we are doing something a bit different, it will take the counters a couple of additional weeks to accumulate their performance, or whatever the answer, right?” said. “But payments are the same. The security of the contract is exactly the same. Everything is identical. It’s alone, how is it classified?
