Q4 Bookings up 502% Year over Year
Current Cash Position Exceeds $300 Million
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2025--
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) ("D-Wave" or the "Company"), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.
"Every day D-Wave's quantum technology is helping customers gain competitive advantages, discover new scientific breakthroughs, and fuel innovations that were previously unimaginable," said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. "Our mission is unwavering - to help organizations realize the benefits of quantum computing now. With record bookings, a record cash position and an unequivocal demonstration of our quantum system outperforming classical on a real-world problem, our progress toward achieving that mission is clear."
Recent Business and Technical Highlights
-- Announced that D-Wave has demonstrated quantum computational supremacy
over classical computation on a useful, real-world problem, with
peer-reviewed publication of the research in the esteemed journal,
Science. The research, which has relevance to customers' problems in
materials discovery, solved the complex materials simulation problem on
D-Wave's Advantage2$(TM)$ annealing quantum computer prototype
significantly faster and with far less power consumption than one of the
world's most powerful classical supercomputers.
-- Introduced an on-premises systems offering to enable customers to push
the boundaries of quantum-fueled experimentation, development and usage.
Also announced that the Julich Supercomputing Centre is the first
high-performance computing $(HPC.AU)$ center to purchase and own a D-Wave
Advantage annealing quantum computing system. It is expected that
D-Wave's system will be connected to the JUPITER supercomputer, Europe's
first and only exascale HPC, to facilitate breakthroughs in AI and
quantum optimization applications.
-- Announced the "Quantum Uplift" program to address customers'
disappointment with competitor quantum systems that have proven to be
incapable of solving practical real-world problems and lack reliable
uptime and availability. The program offers incentives to dissatisfied
organizations toward the purchase of a D-Wave Advantage system that will
enable them to pursue groundbreaking research and novel AI applications.
-- Announced the calibration of a third 4,400 qubit Advantage2 processor.
Compared with the current Advantage system, the Advantage2 processor
delivers significant performance gains with doubled qubit coherence time,
which drives faster time to solution; a 40% increase in energy scale for
higher-quality solutions; and increased qubit connectivity from 15-way to
20-way, enabling solutions to larger, more complex problems.
-- Worked with customers on a variety of quantum and hybrid quantum
applications including: drug discovery with Japan Tobacco; insurance
portfolio optimization with Leithà, the technology and data factory
of Unipol, a leading Italian insurance company; and optimization of
police vehicle deployment with North Wales Police.
-- Announced a commercial hybrid-quantum application built with Staque that
simulates and optimizes movements of autonomous agriculture vehicles. The
companies expect the application could have important benefits to farmers
as they adopt autonomous agriculture machines in order to scale and
increase the output of their fields, with quantum computing providing the
analysis, speed, and accuracy to help maximize production and minimize
costs.
-- Announced a partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., enabling them to
co-market D-Wave's comprehensive solutions to the public sector through
Carahsoft's reseller network. These solutions include real-time access to
the D-Wave Advantage(TM) quantum computing systems through D-Wave's
Leap(TM) quantum cloud service, workforce training programs to upskill
current public sector employees, and specialized support from D-Wave's
professional services team to develop applications for specific public
sector use cases.
-- Initiated the Leap Quantum LaunchPad program designed to accelerate the
exploration and development of quantum and hybrid-quantum applications.
The program is structured as a free 3-month trial that provides access to
D-Wave's production-grade annealing quantum computers and the Leap
real-time quantum cloud service as well as expert project support.
-- Launched the new "Quantum Realized" brand campaign to showcase the
benefits of today's quantum computing and presented a framework to help

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, 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 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 and depreciation and amortization
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.
-- Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share are defined as net loss
and net loss per share 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-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 these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please refer to the reconciliations below.
