Recent Business and Technical Highlights

• Announced revenue of $3.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. This is an increase of $1.8 million, or 100%, from revenue of $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
• Closed Bookings of $2.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up 80% from the immediately preceding second quarter Bookings of $1.3 million.
• Announced a fourth quarter 2025 booking of €10 million for 50% capacity of a D-Wave Advantage2™ annealing quantum computer that supports the development of a state-of-the-art quantum computing and research facility in Lombardy, Italy. In partnership with the Italian government and the Q-Alliance, the agreement includes acquisition of 50% capacity of an Advantage2™ system for five years with the option to purchase the full system. In addition, D-Wave started a series of workshops in Italy to advance annealing quantum computing awareness and adoption among leading universities in the region.
• Signed a number of new and renewing customer engagements for both commercial and research applications, including: one of the largest U.S.-based international airlines; SkyWater – the nation's largest pure-play semiconductor foundry; the pharmaceutical division of Japan Tobacco; Yapi Kredi – one of the leading banks in Turkey; Korea Quantum Computing – a company specializing in quantum computing R&D, quantum security solutions and AI infrastructure in Korea; and a number of major universities around the globe.
• Collaborated with customers on a variety of quantum hybrid applications, including BASF, one of the world’s leading chemical companies, to optimize manufacturing workflows in a BASF liquid filling facility. D-Wave also successfully completed a joint proof-of-technology with North Wales Police, demonstrating positive results for optimizing forward deployment of police vehicles for incident response.
• Named as a winner in Fast Company’s 2025 Next Big Things in Tech Awards, which recognizes emerging technologies that have the potential to profoundly impact industries. D-Wave was acknowledged for “showing what quantum computing can do right now” and its powerful and energy-efficient 4,400+ qubit Advantage2™ quantum computer was highlighted.
• Completed the fabrication of fluxonium qubit chips and superconducting control chips, and are currently bonding the two to demonstrate scalable control of gate model qubits. D-Wave expects this work will enable the first ever scalable gate model system with cryogenic control.
• Announced that calibration of the Advantage2™ system installed at Davidson Technologies in Huntsville, Alabama is now complete, and that the system is now operational and accessible for customer use. The system is expected to enable development of quantum applications tailored to address U.S. government mission critical challenges, particularly in national defense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. Each of Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Loss, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Net Loss per Share and Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses is a financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that each measure provides investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of such results period over period. The Company defines each of its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

• Non-GAAP Gross Profit is defined as GAAP gross profit less depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use Non-GAAP Gross Profit to measure, understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans.
• Non-GAAP Gross Margin is defined as GAAP gross margin less non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use Non-GAAP Gross Margin to measure, understand and evaluate our core business performance.
• Adjusted EBITDA Loss is defined as net loss before interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, remeasurements of liability-classified warrants, and other non-operating or non-recurring income and expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA Loss to measure the operating performance of our business, excluding specifically identified items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations.
• Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share are defined as net loss and net loss per share excluding the impact of the non-cash, non-operating charges associated with the remeasurement of the Company’s warrant liability.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses is defined as operating expenses before depreciation and amortization expense, non-operating or non-recurring expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses to measure our operating expenses, excluding items we do not believe directly reflect our core operations.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our presentation of non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. For a reconciliation of each of Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Loss, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Net Loss per Share and Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the reconciliations below.
