Rhea-AI Filing Summary

D-Wave Quantum Inc. reported Q2 2026 revenue of $3.1 million, essentially flat year over year, while shifting its mix toward larger enterprises: commercial customers contributed 62.4% of revenue and Forbes Global 2000 clients 47.7%. GAAP gross margin was 55.4%, and GAAP operating expenses rose to $55.0 million, up 93% from Q2 2025 as the company increased personnel, marketing and third-party services and absorbed Quantum Circuits-related costs. Net loss narrowed to $48.0 million from $167.3 million, primarily because the prior-year period included substantial non-cash warrant remeasurement charges, though Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $37.1 million.

For the first half of 2026, bookings climbed to $35.5 million, up 1,120% year over year, including a $20 million system sale, and remaining performance obligations reached $40.7 million, with 57% expected to be recognized as revenue within 12 months and 72% within two years. Revenue was $5.9 million, down sharply from $18.1 million due to a one-time $13.7 million system sale in 2025, but commercial customers accounted for 67.7% of first-half revenue and production QCaaS applications 37.3% of QCaaS revenue. Cash and marketable securities totaled $546.2 million at June 30, 2026, reflecting cash used for the Quantum Circuits acquisition. Strategically, D-Wave emphasized an expanded agreement with AT&T, recognition as a Leader in IDC’s 2026 quantum computing vendor assessment, and detailed annealing and gate-model roadmaps targeting 100,000‑qubit annealing systems by 2031 and multi-stage fault-tolerant gate-model milestones through 2032.

Quantum Computing as a Service (QCaaS) technical
"QCaaS revenue derived from production applications totaled $1.3 million, or 37.3% of total QCaaS revenue"
Quantum computing as a service (QCaas) is a cloud-based offering that lets users rent access to quantum processors and the software tools to run algorithms, so customers use powerful quantum machines over the internet instead of buying costly equipment. It matters to investors because it converts cutting‑edge hardware and research into a subscription-style business with recurring revenue and scalability, offering large upside if quantum delivers practical breakthroughs (faster solutions for complex problems) but also carrying high technical and commercialization risk.
Remaining Performance Obligations financial
"remaining performance obligations (RPOs) that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied related to customer contracts totaled $40.7 million"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
Adjusted EBITDA Loss financial
"Adjusted EBITDA Loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $37.1 million, an increase of $17.1 million"
A negative figure for a company’s earnings after removing interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and then further excluding one-time or unusual items; it represents an operating loss on an adjusted basis. Think of it like your household budget showing a shortfall after ignoring a one-time repair or a tax refund — it helps investors see whether the core business is losing money without the noise of financing, accounting rules or rare events, enabling clearer comparisons across periods and peers.

PALO ALTO, Calif. – August 6, 2026D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
“This quarter reinforced the strength and breadth of D-Wave’s leadership,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “We expanded commercial momentum through stronger bookings and engagements with major global organizations, while achieving important milestones across our dual-platform technology roadmap. The peer-reviewed validation of our dual-rail architecture and recognition by IDC as an industry Leader reflects growing confidence in both our ability to deliver customer value and our approach to building scalable quantum computer systems. D-Wave is translating technical leadership into commercial progress, and we believe that our differentiated technology, expanding customer base and disciplined execution position us to lead as the quantum computing market accelerates.”
Recent Business and Technical Highlights
Bookings for the first six months of 2026 were $35.5 million, a 1,120% year over year increase from bookings of $2.9 million for the first six months of 2025.
Named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Quantum Computing 2026 Vendor Assessment. IDC evaluated quantum computing companies based on their current capabilities and future strategies. D-Wave was one of only two companies named to the “Leaders” category.
Provided additional details on the Company’s annealing quantum computing roadmap, which involves packaging and superconducting interconnect technologies to scale the annealing architectures to multi-chip fabrics. We expect this multi-chip approach will allow the next generation Advantage3TM system to ultimately reach 100,000 qubits by 2031, with an intermediate step of a 20,000 qubit system available in 2029. The Company also announced the design of a new prototype for scalable I/O that would allow quantum processing unit (QPU) scaling with an expectation of reaching a 100,000 qubit system with no more than a 20% increase over the number of I/O lines required for the current 4,500 qubit Advantage2TM system.
Announced a new gate-model quantum computing roadmap, designed to accelerate the development of commercial, fault-tolerant gate model quantum computing, which includes the following key milestones:
2026: Delivery of a 17-physical-qubit system that supports logical error rates 2 times lower than physical error rates
2027: Completion of a 49-physical-qubit system that can deliver an expected 20-fold error reduction factor over the physical error rate
2028: Completion of a 181-physical-qubit system that can deliver an expected 2,000-fold error reduction factor over the physical error rate; representing the scalable blueprint for fault-tolerant architectures



2030: Completion of a 10-logical qubit system that can support the first fault tolerant algorithms
2032: Completion of a 100-logical-qubit system capable of successfully performing more than one million operations that can support initial quantum chemistry and quantum AI applications
Announced a major research breakthrough, as published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature, that advances a faster, more practical path to fault tolerant gate-model quantum computing. The research demonstrates a fast, high-fidelity two-qubit entangling gate that preserves the inherent error-correction advantages of D-Wave’s superconducting dual-rail qubit architecture, addressing one of the industry’s most consequential challenges by reducing the immense hardware overhead typically required to detect and correct quantum errors as systems scale.
Announced a forthcoming gate-model quantum computing simulator, which is expected to be the first of its kind designed for error-aware programming. Built around D-Wave’s dual-rail technology, we expect the simulator to give developers visibility into errors, so they can design applications and workflows that respond to errors as they occur. D-Wave will offer new quantum development bundles that provide access to both the simulator and gate-model systems.

These increased operating expenses stem from investments to support the Company’s accelerated product development and go-to-market initiatives, as well as Quantum Circuits expenses incurred subsequent to the January acquisition closing date.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses2: Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $73.9 million, an increase of $31.5 million, or 74%, from Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses of $42.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, with the difference between GAAP and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses being primarily non-cash stock-based compensation expense, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, and non-recurring one-time expenses that are excluded from the Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses.
Net Loss: Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $66.4 million, or $0.18 per share, a decrease of $106.4 million, or $0.41 per share, compared with the net loss of $172.8 million, or $0.59 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $138.1 million in the amount of non-cash, non-operating charges related to the remeasurement of the Company's warrant liability, offset by a tax benefit of $28.4 million arising from the Quantum Circuits acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA Loss2: Adjusted EBITDA Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $69.9 million, an increase of $43.8 million from the Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, with the increase due primarily to increased investments to support the Company’s accelerated product development and go-to-market initiatives.

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 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 income, 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.
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 and Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the reconciliations below.
