Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “seeks,” “will,” “on track” and variations of these words or similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including without limitation statements regarding the Company’s expected 2026 revenue, business outlook, customer demand, technology milestones, commercial opportunities, and market momentum are forward looking statements. These statements are based on Infleqtion’s current expectations, assumptions and projections as of the date of this release and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those related to Infleqtion’s ability to recognize anticipated benefits of its business combination with Churchill Capital Corp X; the implementation, market acceptance, and success of Infleqtion’s business model, growth strategy, and opportunities, and its ability to commercialize its quantum computing technology; the expected benefits of and ability to maintain and enter into new contracts, awards, and other relationships, partnerships, or collaborations with governments or government entities; the potential for quantum computing technology to achieve quantum advantages; the ability of Infleqtion’s products to meet government counterparties’ and customers’ technical requirements and compliance and regulatory needs; Infleqtion’s ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others; and other risks and uncertainties described in Infleqtion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent filings with the
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Infleqtion believes these measures provide investors with additional insight into the underlying performance of the business and, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, assist investors in evaluating Infleqtion’s operating performance and comparing its results across reporting periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
“Non-GAAP Cost of revenue” is defined as cost of revenue expense adjusted to add back, when applicable, stock-based compensation and acquisition and integration costs.
“Non-GAAP R&D” is defined as research and development expense adjusted to add back, when applicable, stock-based compensation and acquisition and integration costs.
“Non-GAAP SG&A” is defined as selling, general and administrative expense adjusted to add back, when applicable, stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, go-public transaction expenses and former executive release payments.
“Non-GAAP Loss from operations” is defined as loss from operations adjusted to add back, when applicable, stock-based compensation, go-public transaction expenses, acquisition and integration costs, former executive release payment and impairment of assets and goodwill.
“Non-GAAP Net loss” is defined as net loss adjusted to add back, when applicable, stock-based compensation, go-public transaction expenses, acquisition and integration costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of SAFE liabilities, former executive release payment and impairment of assets and goodwill.
See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that Non-GAAP Cost of revenue, Non-GAAP R&D, Non-GAAP SG&A, Non-GAAP Loss from operations and Non-GAAP Net loss provide useful information to investors because they facilitate an evaluation of Infleqtion’s underlying operating performance and period-to-period comparability by excluding certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations or may not be indicative of recurring operating results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the corresponding GAAP measures, to assess the operating performance of the business.
