Dado Alonso, Chief Financial Officer at Nebius Group N.V., participated in the company's Q2 2026 earnings call on August 13, 2026, where he discussed the company's financing strategy and capital position. He stated that Nebius expected more than $9 billion in upfront customer prepayments in 2026, which he said would reduce the need for external financing. Alonso also noted that the company had approximately $40 billion in committed backlog available to borrow against and had begun using this source of financing in Q2. He described a $775 million asset-backed financing facility completed in July, priced at SOFR plus 250 basis points, which he said was backed by deployed GPU infrastructure and contracted cash flows from an investment grade customer. Alonso addressed questions about the company's approach to capital allocation, saying the strategy was to match the right financing instrument with the right asset while remaining disciplined about cost of capital, minimizing shareholder dilution, and maintaining a strong balance sheet. He said the company had multiple pools of capital available, including operating cash flow and customer prepayments, and expressed confidence in its ability to finance planned capacity deployments for 2027 and beyond. In earlier earnings calls, Alonso discussed the company's capital expenditure plans, including a 2026 capex range of $16-20 billion, and noted that about 60% of the needed capital was already covered by the balance sheet, existing operations, and commitments. He also mentioned the establishment of an at-the-market equity program for up to 25 million Class A shares in late 2025, describing it as one of several tools for accessing capital markets.
