Arqit (NASDAQ: ARQQ) grows H1 2026 revenue but posts $33m net loss

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Arqit Quantum Inc. reported first-half fiscal 2026 results showing rapid revenue growth but significantly higher losses as it scales its quantum-safe cybersecurity business. Revenue rose to $623k from $67k, helped by more customer contracts and services recognized over time, plus $187k of grant income.

Administrative expenses increased to $33.9m from $20.2m, driven mainly by higher headcount and share-based compensation, leading to a net loss of $33.0m versus $19.4m a year earlier. Cash used in operations was $25.7m for the period.

Arqit ended March 31, 2026 with $28.9m in cash and cash equivalents and total assets of $36.2m, supported by equity funding. It issued 846,911 shares under its at-the-market equity program, raising about $18m before costs, and continues to invest in its Encryption Intelligence and NetworkSecure™ offerings amid growing post-quantum security demand.

Insights

Equity analyst – growth and liquidity

Arqit is growing revenue but remains highly loss-making and reliant on equity funding.

Arqit’s revenue expanded from $67k to $623k in the six months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting more customer contracts and services delivered over time. However, administrative expenses climbed to $33.9m, including a sharp rise in share-based compensation, keeping the business deeply loss-making.

Operating cash outflow reached $25.7m, while cash on hand was $28.9m and total assets $36.2m. To support operations, Arqit issued 846,911 shares under its ATM Program, raising about $18m. Future performance will depend on converting growing market interest in post-quantum cryptography into materially larger recurring revenues and managing costs against its remaining liquidity.

post-quantum cryptographic solutions financial

"Our post-quantum cryptographic solutions, led by our product, offer clients software based cryptographically agile post-quantum solutions."

New encryption methods designed to keep digital data secure even if powerful quantum computers become available. They replace or supplement today's cryptography so communications, financial records and software updates remain unreadable to future threats; think of upgrading from a standard lock to one tested against a new kind of burglar. Investors care because adopting these solutions affects companies' security costs, regulatory compliance, customer trust and long-term resilience of digital assets.

Encryption Intelligence financial

"With the commercial launch in the period of Arqit’s Encryption Intelligence cryptographic risk-analysis tools and advisory service..."

Encryption intelligence is the use of analytics and automated tools to improve how data is locked, unlocked and monitored, such as detecting misused keys, spotting hidden threats inside encrypted traffic, or choosing the right level of protection. For investors it signals technology that can reduce breach risk, lower compliance costs and create competitive advantage by making security more reliable and efficient—like upgrading from a simple padlock to a smart lock that reports problems in real time.

ATM Program financial

"the current and prior at-the-market equity offering program, together the “ATM Program” pursuant to which it may issue and sell ordinary shares..."

An ATM program is a plan or arrangement that allows a company to sell its shares directly to investors over time, often through automated systems like online platforms. It provides a flexible way for companies to raise money gradually without needing a full public offering each time. For investors, it can offer easier access to buying or selling shares and can help companies manage their fundraising more efficiently.

discontinued operation financial

"Profit from discontinued operation, net of tax, was $24 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026..."

A discontinued operation is a part of a company that has been sold, closed, or is planned to be shut down, and will no longer be part of its ongoing business activities. For investors, it matters because it can significantly affect a company's financial results and future outlook, similar to removing a large, ongoing project from a company's operations. Recognizing discontinued operations helps investors better understand a company's current performance separate from parts that are no longer active.

share-based compensation financial

"An increase in employee related costs and share based compensation as a result of more employees during the six months ended March 31, 2026..."

Share-based compensation is when a company pays employees, executives or directors with its own stock or rights to buy stock instead of, or in addition to, cash. Think of it like receiving store gift cards instead of extra paycheck — it can motivate staff to boost the company’s value, but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and can shrink each existing owner’s slice of profits and voting power. Investors watch it because it affects reported earnings, share count and the alignment between management and shareholders.

going concern financial

"The directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements."

A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.

Exhibit 99.1

Arqit Quantum Inc.
Announces Financial Results for First Half of Fiscal Year 2026

London, UK – 21 May 2026

Arqit Quantum Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQQ) (“Arqit” or the “Company”), a global leader in quantum-safe encryption, announces financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026.

● Consistent with management’s preliminary assessment of the expected range of revenue, which was announced 10 April 2026, reported revenue for the first half of fiscal year 2026 was $623,000 as of 31 March 2026.

● Revenue for the period compares favourably to revenue for the comparable period in fiscal year 2025 of $67,000 and revenue for the second half of fiscal year 2025 of $463,000.

● Revenue was generated from eleven contracts in the first half of fiscal year 2026. For comparison, Arqit generated revenue from seven contracts in the full fiscal year 2025.

● 3 contracts were with telecom network operators and 8 were with government, defence and enterprise organizations, all key markets for Arqit.

● The Company has maintained cost discipline with operating costs averaging $2.6 million per month for the period, excluding external legal expenses primarily associated with the previously announced resolution of a shareholder lawsuit.

● The Company ended the period with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $28.9 million as of 31 March 2026. Cash and cash equivalents as of 20 May 2026 was $35.9 million.

● In January, Arqit announced the commercial launch of Encryption Intelligence, a completely automated cryptographic inventory solution, which enables continuous discovery and risk prioritisation to help governments and enterprises plan and execute migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

● In collaboration with Intel, Arqit announced in February the availability of its encryption software pre-installed inside an Intel Trust Domain Extensions (Intel TDX) trusted execution environment (TEE) on Intel Netsec Accelerator Reference Design-based accelerator cards enabling confidential computing for telecom operators and critical national infrastructure.

● In February, Arqit and 6WIND announced a strategic collaboration to deliver highly scalable quantum-safe, encrypted virtual private networking (VPN) business services. 6WIND products enable telecom service providers and enterprises to build and manage efficient, scalable, secure, and sustainable networks.

● In March, Arqit and RAD, a global leader in networking edge solutions, announced a collaboration to deliver a joint quantum-safe encryption solution for telcos, enabling them to offer quantum-safe business services such as site-to-site and site-to-cloud VPNs, as well as Data Center Interconnect. Arqit’s NetworkSecure™ quantum-safe encryption key generation technology is seamlessly integrated with RAD’s high-performance ETX Carrier Edge platform.

Recent Developments

● On April 16^th, Arqit was selected to join the Tomorrow Street portfolio as a Scaleup Partner.  A joint venture between Vodafone Group and Technoport, Luxembourg’s National tech incubator, Tomorrow Street’s ecosystem brings together innovative young companies and scales their technology solutions across Vodafone’s global ecosystem. Arqit is the first quantum security company to join the portfolio.

● On May 1^st, a partner, which is a leading technology and innovation solution provider to the aerospace and defence industry, renewed and upsized its contract with Arqit by almost 90%. Arqit bids jointly with its partner into contract opportunities to military organizations with a heavy emphasis on Europe.

● On May 18^th, Arqit executed its first Encryption Intelligence related contract supporting PQC migration planning.

● On May 19^th, Arqit signed a partnership agreement with a European specialist cybersecurity provider for Arqit’s Encryption Intelligence product to be the cornerstone of strategic PQC Migration activities within financial services and other client verticals.

CEO’s statement

Andy Leaver, Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Broad recognition for the need to address the cryptographic cybersecurity risk posed by quantum computers now exists. While the U.S. National Security Memorandum 10 has been mandating government migration to a post-quantum security posture since 2022, other countries including the U.K. and Canada have more recently been mandating post-quantum migration as well. The commercial market is now on board with leading players like Google, IBM and Cloudflare recently accelerating timetables for post-quantum migration to 2029. Even that time horizon may be too distant as IonQ recently announced it has accelerated its roadmap for a quantum computer with a logical qubit count sufficient to challenge RSA 2048 to the 2028 to 2029 window. The threat to cybersecurity is real and the time to begin addressing it is now.

With the commercial launch in the period of Arqit’s Encryption Intelligence cryptographic risk-analysis tools and advisory service, Arqit is well positioned to help governments and enterprises take the initial steps in migrating to a post-quantum cryptographic security posture. Organizations need to understand their current architectures and embedded risks before they can implement post-quantum solutions. Arqit this week signed its first Encryption Intelligence related contract and, also, executed an Encryption Intelligence partnership agreement with a European specialist cybersecurity provider focused on PQC migration for financial services organizations. We see multiple near-term opportunities for Encryption Intelligence either directly with customers or through channel partners. We believe Encryption Intelligence is an important addition to Arqit’s ability to provide an end-to-end PQC migration offering.

Our post-quantum cryptographic solutions, led by our NetworkSecure^TM product, offer clients software based cryptographically agile post-quantum solutions. Current applications include securing data in transit (e.g. secure VPNs) and data in process (e.g. quantum secure data computation on Intel Netsec accelerator cards). The applicability of Arqit’s post-quantum cryptographic solutions is broad. Current implementations include an international bank securing its data traffic via a Tier 1 telecom partner, a defence contractor securing communications of a major government’s research network and a defence contractor securing tactical control of unmanned platforms for a major European Ministry of Defence. We see increasing engagement and demand for our quantum secure cryptographic solutions in our key target markets of telecommunications, government and defence as evidenced by our increased contract activity during the period in these markets.

With heightened urgency in the marketplace and a complete end-to-end PQC migration product offering, we believe Arqit is well positioned for success. The sell-through of our solutions by current partners, the renewal and upsizing of certain existing contracts and our increasing contract base give us confidence in the direction of the business.”

Focus for the second half of Fiscal Year 2026

● Accelerate Arqit’s go to market strategy emphasizing Arqit’s end-to-end PQC migration solution leading with our Encryption Intelligence product and followed by Arqit’s post-quantum software based cryptographically agile security solutions. The company expects additional revenue contracts from both aspects of its end-to-end migration solution.

● Conversion of engagements and demonstrations for defence organizations. Arqit has multiple opportunities directly with defence organizations or through OEM vendors or IT consultancies. Applications include, but are not limited to, secure communication between facilities, secure command of the battle space and cryptographically hardened assets.

● Continue developing the confidential computing and data sovereignty markets which Arqit believes represent significant opportunities for the sale of its encryption solutions. The announced commercial launch in the period with Intel of quantum-safe encryption inside an Intel Trusted Domain enclave on its Netsec Accelerator cards is an important step in developing the confidential computing market for telecom operators and critical national infrastructure. Arqit is developing an end-to-end data sovereignty solution which enables customers to continue to utilise the value of public and private clouds while maintaining a robust data sovereignty posture.

Arqit Quantum Inc.

Condensed Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements

For the period ended 31 March 2026

1. General information and significant accounting policies

General information

Arqit Quantum Inc. (the “Company”) is a Cayman Islands exempted limited liability company with registered number 374857. The address of its registered office and its principal place of trading is c/o Maples Corporate Services Limited, PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands.

These condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).

The principal activity of the Group is provision of cybersecurity services.

Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB, including IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified. The comparative balance sheet figures for the year ended September 30, 2025, were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States Dollars “USD” which is also the Group’s functional currency. All values are rounded to the nearest units (USD ‘000), except when otherwise indicated.

Information on the accounting policies applied can be found in the Group’s latest annual audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, other than investor warrants held at fair value through profit or loss.

Going Concern

The directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the Directors have taken into account all relevant available information about the current and future position of the Group. As part of their assessment, the Directors have also taken into account the ability to raise additional funding whilst maintaining sufficient cash resources to meet all commitments. The Group has prepared detailed forecasts considering the impact of the current economic and political climate and uncertainties and strong cost control measures in place. The forecasts show that the Group will be able to grow according to its plans and that it can continue to operate for the foreseeable period. Based on the above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, such that they will be able to realize their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these consolidated condensed financial statements, and beyond. Therefore, the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.

Use of judgments and estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

Condensed Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements

For the period ended 31 March 2026

1. General information and significant accounting policies (continued)

Use of judgments and estimates (continued)

Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a senior finance team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the chief financial officer.

The senior finance team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the senior finance team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of the Accounting Standards, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group audit committee.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

● Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

● Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

● Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

There have been no new or amended standards adopted by the Group for the first time during the interim period.

Operating segments

The Group to operates within one operating segment, being the provision of cybersecurity services.

The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for services where revenue is recognized over time.

The full amount of $6k recognized in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period has been recognized as revenue in the six months ended 31 March 2026.

4. Discontinued operations

In May 2023, Arqit announced that it was selling its satellite division consisting of satellite assets under construction, patents, customer contracts and an engineering team. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, Arqit was unsuccessful in its efforts to identify a buyer for the satellite division and/or related IP, and as a result the assets of the satellite division were fully impaired as at 31 March 2024. The condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income presents profit/(loss) from discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.

During the six months ended 31 March 2026, Arqit recognised a grant claim received of $26k related to a satellite project completed during the fiscal year ended 30 September 2026.

The impact on the statement of comprehensive income is as below:

Results of Operations of Arqit Quantum Inc., (“Arqit” or the “Company”)

Comparison of the Six Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

Revenue

Revenue increased by $556 thousand from $67 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025 to $623 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was due to an increase in the number of customer contracts and the commencement of services being provided under contracts for which revenue is recognized over time as services are provided under the contract.

Other Income

Other income was $187 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026 representing grants received during the period, compared to $101 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

Administrative Expenses

Total administrative expenses increased by $13.7 million from $20.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025 to $33.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026. An increase in employee related costs and share based compensation as a result of more employees during the six months ended March 31, 2026 were partially offset by a decrease in property costs as a result of the termination of Arqit’s previous office lease arrangement and a decrease in foreign exchange expenses during the period.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants

The change in fair value of warrants represents the difference in valuation of Arqit’s warrants as of March 31, 2026, compared with the valuation as of September 30, 2025, which was non-cash profit of $261 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared with a non-cash loss of $2 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

Finance Costs

Finance costs increased by $21 thousand from $26 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025 to $47 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the amount of office floor space leased during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

Finance Income

Finance income decreased by $156 thousand from $566 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025 to $410 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest earned during the period.

Discontinued Operations

Profit from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $24 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $91 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025. In both periods, the profit from discontinued operations related to residual grant income from satellite operations and proceeds from the disposal of certain satellite assets.

​

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Arqit began to generate revenue from its principal business operations which is the provision of cybersecurity services, in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. Arqit will continue to incur net losses in accordance with its operating plan as it further develops the commercialization of its products.

In the period under review, Arqit has funded its operations, capital expenditure and working capital requirements through public offerings of its securities including proceeds from (1) sales of ordinary shares under its ATM Program (as defined below) and (2) sales of ordinary shares and warrants in registered direct offerings in 2023 and 2024. Historically, Arqit also funded its operations from proceeds from the completion of the business combination in 2021, capital contributions, loans and borrowings from certain venture investors and grants from the UK government’s Future Fund, including convertible loan notes that were converted into ordinary shares in connection with the completion of the business combination in 2021. Arqit’s primary uses of liquidity in the period under review have been working capital requirements as it continues to increase commercialization of its products.

In January 2026, Arqit filed a registration statement on Form F-3 in order to establish an at-the-market equity offering program, which replaced a prior at-the-market equity offering program (the current and prior at-the-market equity offering program, together the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which it may issue and sell ordinary shares with an aggregate offering price of up to $125.0 million.  Arqit has no obligation to sell any such shares under its ATM Program. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Group from time to time, including, among others, whether additional capital is required, market conditions, the trading price of Arqit’s ordinary shares, determination of the appropriate sources of funding for the Group, and potential uses of available funding. Arqit intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of such shares, if any, for general corporate purposes. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, Arqit issued 846,911 shares under the ATM Program, generating proceeds to the Company before fees and expenses of approximately $18 million.
