Rhea-AI Filing Summary

D-Wave Quantum Inc. reported a strong step-up in scale for 2025, with revenue of $24.6 million, up 179% from $8.8 million in 2024, and GAAP gross margin rising to 82.6%. GAAP gross profit grew to $20.3 million, a 265% increase year over year.

The company ended 2025 with record liquidity, holding $884.5 million in cash and marketable investment securities, helped by $779.1 million of net cash from financing activities, including equity offerings and warrant exercises. However, GAAP operating expenses rose 46% to $120.7 million, reflecting heavier investment in sales, marketing, R&D and corporate infrastructure.

GAAP net loss widened to $355.1 million, largely due to $270.5 million of non‑cash warrant remeasurement and related items, while Adjusted Net Loss was $84.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA Loss was $71.8 million. Strategically, D‑Wave completed the acquisition of Quantum Circuits, Inc., signed a $20 million Advantage2 system sale to Florida Atlantic University, a $10 million two‑year QCaaS agreement with a Fortune 100 company, and a €10 million system capacity deal in Italy, while advancing both annealing and gate‑model technologies.

Positive

  • Explosive top-line and margin expansion: 2025 revenue reached $24.6 million, up 179% from $8.8 million in 2024, while GAAP gross profit rose 265% to $20.3 million and GAAP gross margin improved to 82.6%.
  • Record liquidity and funded growth runway: Cash and marketable investment securities totaled $884.5 million at December 31 2025, a 397% increase from $178.0 million a year earlier, providing substantial resources to pursue the company’s technology and commercial roadmap.
  • Strengthening commercial and strategic positioning: A $20 million Advantage2 sale to Florida Atlantic University, a $10 million two‑year QCaaS agreement with a Fortune 100 company, a €10 million Italian system capacity contract, and the acquisition of Quantum Circuits, Inc. materially deepen D‑Wave’s customer base and dual‑platform capabilities.

Negative

  • Large and widening losses: GAAP net loss increased to $355.1 million (including $270.5 million of non‑cash warrant‑related charges), while Adjusted Net Loss was still sizable at $84.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA Loss widened to $71.8 million.
  • Rapid cost growth and heavy dilution risk: GAAP operating expenses rose 46% to $120.7 million, and the company raised $779.1 million of financing cash primarily through equity offerings and warrant exercises, contributing to an increase in shares outstanding from 266.6 million to 358.7 million year over year.
  • Bookings volatility despite strong early 2026 activity: 2025 bookings declined 22% year over year to $18.7 million due to a large prior‑year system sale, even though fourth‑quarter bookings rebounded sequentially and 2026 year‑to‑date bookings exceeded $32.8 million.

Insights

Revenue and liquidity jumped sharply in 2025, but losses and spending also expanded.

D-Wave delivered rapid top-line growth, with 2025 revenue of $24.6 million, up 179% from 2024, and GAAP gross margin improving to 82.6%. Record cash and marketable securities of $884.5 million provide a substantial funding runway for its dual-platform quantum roadmap.

That balance sheet strength came mainly from equity issuance and warrant exercises, which generated $779.1 million of financing cash. Operating expenses rose 46% to $120.7 million, and Adjusted EBITDA Loss widened to $71.8 million, underscoring the company’s heavy investment mode.

Strategically, the acquisition of Quantum Circuits, Inc., the $20 million Florida Atlantic University system sale, the $10 million two‑year QCaaS deal with a Fortune 100 company, and a €10 million Italian system capacity agreement highlight growing commercial traction. Subsequent 2026 year‑to‑date bookings above $32.8 million suggest demand momentum, while future filings will clarify how quickly that converts into recurring revenue and margin leverage.

Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 26, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and other recent developments, including:
A $20 million system purchase by Florida Atlantic University, with deployment expected by the end of 2026, and a $10 million, two-year enterprise license Quantum Computing as a Service agreement with a Fortune 100 company.
The completion of the acquisition of Quantum Circuits, Inc., a leading developer of error-corrected superconducting gate-model quantum computing systems. Quantum Circuits’ dual-rail qubits with built-in erasure detection identify 90% of errors that occur. With erasure detection, this technology delivers gate fidelities that exceed 99.9%, bringing trapped ion fidelities along with superconducting execution speeds to today’s gate-model algorithm developers. Our erasure detection, and our observed erasure rate of 0.5%, allow us to deliver logical qubits with an order of magnitude fewer physical qubits compared to architectures without this capability.
The formation of a new business unit dedicated to driving the adoption of D-Wave’s quantum computing products and services within the U.S. government, led by seasoned government and public sector business executive Jack Sears Jr., who brings more than 25 years of experience in developing and executing organizational growth strategies for companies serving the federal government in the defense and aerospace industries.
A collaboration with Davidson Technologies and Anduril Industries to develop quantum-classical hybrid applications for complex U.S. air and missile defense planning challenges. An initial proof-of-concept demonstrated that as problem complexity scaled, D-Wave’s Stride™ hybrid solver extended its performance lead over classical-only approaches, delivering at least 10x faster time-to-solution, a 9% to 12% improvement in threat mitigation, and the ability to intercept an additional 45-60 missiles in a 500-missile attack simulation.
Several advancements in annealing quantum computing technologies that further D-Wave’s unique dual-platform approach, including multicolor annealing and fast-reverse anneal. These enhancements increase the capabilities of D-Wave's Advantage2™ quantum computer, the same system, and the only system in the world, that has demonstrated quantum supremacy on a useful, real-world problem. That result, achieved natively on the Advantage2 quantum processing unit, has not been successfully challenged nearly two years after the paper's initial publication in March 2024.
A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

D-Wave Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2025 Results
FY 2025 Revenue Increased 179% Year over Year
FY 2025 Gross Profit Increased 265% Year over Year
Ended 2025 With Highest Liquidity Position in Company’s History at over $884 Million

PALO ALTO, Calif. – February 26, 2026D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), the only dual-platform quantum computing company, providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software, and services, today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
“Our 2025 results mark one of the most successful and transformative years in D-Wave’s history, with meaningful growth across every key business metric — revenue, Bookings, technical milestones, and scientific breakthroughs,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “We are entering 2026 with exceptional momentum: generating over $30 million in Bookings in January alone, expanding our market leadership through the acquisition of gate-model quantum computing company Quantum Circuits, Inc., and securing an eight-figure enterprise QCaaS agreement that underscores growing customer confidence in our technology’s power to transform enterprise operations. 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for D-Wave.”
Business and Technical Highlights
Announced revenue of $24.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $15.8 million, or 179%, from revenue of $8.8 million reported for fiscal year 2024.
Closed Bookings of $13.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, up 471% from the immediately preceding third quarter Bookings of $2.4 million. This included a Booking of €10 million for 50% capacity of a D-Wave Advantage2TM annealing quantum computer to support the development of a state-of-the-art quantum computing and research facility in Lombardy, Italy.
Subsequent to the close of the fourth quarter, announced a $20 million system purchase by Florida Atlantic University, with deployment expected by the end of 2026, and a $10 million, two-year enterprise license Quantum Computing as a Service (QCaaS) agreement with a Fortune 100 company. As a result, as of February 25, 2026, first quarter year-to-date 2026 Bookings exceed $32.8 million.
Announced the completion of the acquisition of Quantum Circuits, a leading developer of error-corrected superconducting gate-model quantum computing systems. Quantum Circuits’ dual-rail qubits with built-in erasure detection identify 90% of errors that occur. With erasure detection, this technology delivers gate fidelities that exceed 99.9%, bringing trapped ion fidelities along with superconducting execution speeds to today’s gate-model algorithm developers. Our erasure detection, and our observed erasure rate of 0.5%, allow us to deliver logical qubits with an order of magnitude fewer physical qubits compared to architectures without this capability.
Demonstrated the first scalable, on-chip cryogenic control of gate-model qubits, which significantly reduces the amount of wiring required to control larger numbers of qubits without degrading qubit fidelity. This control technology uses multiplexed digital-to-analog converters to control tens of thousands of qubits and couplers with just 200 control wires. With Quantum Circuits’ high-fidelity, error-detecting dual-rail qubits and D-Wave’s robust cryogenic platforms, we believe D-Wave is now uniquely positioned as the only company that has all three core technologies required to deliver scaled, error-corrected superconducting gate-model systems.



Announced a collaboration with Davidson Technologies and Anduril Industries to develop quantum-classical hybrid applications for complex U.S. air and missile defense planning challenges. An initial proof-of-concept demonstrated that as problem complexity scaled, D-Wave’s StrideTM hybrid solver extended its performance lead over classical-only approaches, delivering at least 10x faster time-to-solution, a 9% to 12% improvement in threat mitigation, and the ability to intercept an additional 45-60 missiles in a 500-missile attack simulation.
Signed a number of new and renewing customer engagements for both commercial and research applications, including: LG CNS – a major South Korean IT services and systems integration company; Sharp Corporation – a multinational electronics company; and CINECA – an interuniversity consortium founded in 1969 bringing together 122 members, including two Italian Ministries (the Ministry of University and Research, and the Ministry of Education and Merit), 71 Italian universities, and 49 national public universities, that supports and drives digital transformation and is one of the world's most advanced computing centers for High Performance Computing (HPC).
Announced several advancements in annealing quantum computing technologies that further D-Wave’s unique dual-platform approach, including:
New StrideTM hybrid solver capabilities that enable customers to incorporate machine learning models directly into quantum workflows;
Multicolor annealing, a set of processor controls that give researchers new ways to shape and observe quantum behavior over time, enabling exploration in quantum materials simulation, molecular models for drug discovery, and advanced quantum-driven applications; and
Fast-reverse anneal, which allows the annealing quantum computer to move back and forth through the annealing process while maintaining coherence, thus leading to faster time-to-solution.
These enhancements increase the capabilities of D-Wave's Advantage2TM quantum computer, the same system, and the only system in the world, that has demonstrated quantum supremacy on a useful, real-world problem. That result, achieved natively on the Advantage2 quantum processing unit, has not been successfully challenged nearly two years after the paper's initial publication in March 2024.
Announced the formation of a new business unit dedicated to driving the adoption of D-Wave’s quantum computing products and services within the U.S. government. The unit is led by seasoned government and public sector business executive Jack Sears Jr., who brings more than 25 years of experience in developing and executing organizational growth strategies for companies serving the federal government in the defense and aerospace industries.
Hosted Qubits 2026 in Boca Raton, Florida on January 27-28, 2026. This was the Company’s largest Qubits event ever, with in-person attendees increasing 63% year over year compared to Qubits 2025. Notable speakers included Anduril, AT&T, Davidson Technologies, Lighthouse DIG, North Wales Police, PolarisQB, Q-Alliance, Quantum Coast Capital, TECNALIA, Unissant, Verge, and others.
Announced that Boca Raton, Florida has been selected as the location of the Company’s new corporate headquarters and a key U.S. research and development facility. The transition of the headquarters from Palo Alto, California is expected by the end of 2026.

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 adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense and 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, respectively, 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.
