GAAP Gross Profit up 97% Year over Year
PALO ALTO, Calif. – August 8, 2024 – D-Wave Quantum Inc., (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”) a leader in commercial quantum computing systems, software, and services, today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“Our second quarter results show continued traction on all fronts - revenue, bookings, customer acquisition, liquidity and technical advancements,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “There is rapidly growing awareness of annealing quantum computing and its ability to deliver business benefits today, and the market is responding. This is further strengthened by our product development activities in hardware (Advantage2 prototype), software (new nonlinear hybrid solver and fast anneal feature), and Quantum Artificial Intelligence. Our momentum as one of the few companies in the world leading the quantum transformation is evident.”
Recent Business and Technical Highlights
•Announced a Quantum AI product development roadmap that extends D-Wave’s Leap™ quantum cloud service for AI and machine learning. The focus will be on helping customers address a variety of AI/ML workloads including pre-training optimization, more accurate and efficient model training, and opening new AI business use cases that require the integration of AI and business optimization, such as quantum supply chain optimization in support of AI-predicted product demand requirements.
•Announced a significant expansion to our commercial partnership with Zapata AI, designed to accelerate the development and delivery of integrated quantum and generative AI solutions in D‑Wave’s Leap cloud platform, as part of the Quantum AI product roadmap. The new agreement leverages Zapata’s proprietary Universal Generative AI software for rapid development and builds upon D-Wave’s Leap real‑time quantum cloud service to support quantum, hybrid quantum, and classical AI solutions.
•Announced the forthcoming placement of a second US-based D-Wave Advantage quantum computer. This system will be the fourth production quantum computer in the Leap quantum cloud service. Located at Davidson Technologies’ new global headquarters in Huntsville, AL, the system will eventually be housed in a secure facility developed to run sensitive applications using D-Wave’s quantum computing technology.
•Nearing completion of calibrating a 4800+ qubit Advantage2 processor as the next milestone on the path toward the 7000+ qubit Advantage2 product. This comes on the heels of launching the 1,200+ qubit Advantage2 prototype and making it accessible in D-Wave’s Leap quantum cloud service earlier this year.
•Launched a new hybrid quantum solver for nonlinear programs, enabling customers to confront real-world problems of growing complexity. Available now in the D-Wave’s Leap™ quantum cloud service, the new solver supports up to two million variables and constraints, with a tenfold increase in problem size capacity over other D-Wave solvers for certain applications, according to preliminary benchmarking studies. In addition, the company introduced new demos of applications built with the nonlinear program solver, addressing vehicle routing and flow shop scheduling.
•Ongoing development of new control protocols designed to let users perform expanded and richer quantum simulations:
•Fast anneal: A new feature introduced in April that helps users perform quantum computations at unprecedented speeds, greatly reducing the impact of external disturbances such as thermal fluctuations that can hinder quantum calculations. Customers have already submitted 2.5 million problems using this feature since its launch.
•Cyclic annealing: Research and development of cyclic and iterative annealing protocols to potentially extend the coherent regime across multiple cycles, which could provide the same performance benefit that would result from much longer coherence times.
•Bell's inequality violation: Leveraging novel Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) control protocols, we have been able to show a violation of Bell’s inequality, a widely recognized signature of quantum behavior, in the fabric of our annealing QPUs. With these new controls, we can produce targeted qubit excitations and analyze and read out qubit state in an arbitrary basis midway through the annealing process, enabling us to explore both digital and analog quantum computing protocols in the same processing fabric. This potentially opens up important new application opportunities.
•Worked with customers on a variety of quantum-hybrid applications including:
◦Ford Otosan: Developed a solution to generate a dynamic build-list sequencing schedule that maximizes vehicle production for the body shop. The resulting quantum optimization application was able to schedule 1,000 vehicles per run in under 5 minutes, compared to 30 minutes using the current process.
◦Hermes Germany: Exploring a vehicle routing quantum optimization application to route trucks from 50 depots to a network of 17,000 parcel shops throughout Germany. The project aims to understand quantum’s ability to better optimize these routes in terms of time, distance and CO2 emissions.
•Held our tenth Qubits quantum computing conference in June 2024, with more than 600 attendees representing 452 organizations from 50 countries participating live or virtually. Themed “Success, Powered by Quantum,” the conference showcased D-Wave’s latest product and scientific innovations as well as real-world customer applications which spanned retail, logistics, financial services, life sciences and more. Customers including Artificial Brain, Davidson Technologies, Ford Otosan, Los Alamos National Lab, Pattison Food Group, POLARISqb, QuantumBasel, SavantX and Zapata AI joined us in Boston to share their stories of quantum-powered success.
•Experienced an uptick in D-Wave interest from a number of major government organizations and companies that service the public sector, to build applications that showcase how quantum computing can address critical public sector and national security activities. Policy makers continue to expand government programs to encompass near-term applications as well as support for quantum annealing and quantum-classical technologies.
•Announced double-digit enrollment growth for our quantum training courses in the first six months of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Enrollment in the “Quantum Programming Core” course increased by 53%, and all total enrollments (“Core” + “Foundations for Quantum Programming”) increased by 85%. This underscores a burgeoning global movement to train workers to keep pace with the rapidly increasing adoption of quantum computing.
•Announced that D-Wave has joined the broad-market Russell 3000 Index, which captures the 3000 largest stocks as of April 30, 2024, ranking them by total market capitalization. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to the data as of the end of December 2023, about $10.5 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell.

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 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 non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization 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, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, remeasurements of liability-classified warrants, and other non-recurring non-operating 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.
•Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses is defined as operating expenses before depreciation and amortization expense, non-recurring one-time 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 Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Loss and Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the reconciliations below.
