D-Wave Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

Q3 QCaaS Revenue up 41% Year over Year

Fiscal YTD Revenue up 11% Year over Year

Fiscal YTD GAAP Gross Profit up 54% Year over Year

PALO ALTO, Calif. - November 14, 2024 - D-Wave Quantum Inc., (NYSE: QBTS) ("D-Wave" or the "Company") a leader in commercial quantum computing systems, software, and services, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"Annealing quantum computing is continuing to drive the commercial adoption of quantum technology," said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. "Organizations around the world - from the Vinci Energies in Europe to NTT DOCOMO in Japan - are recognizing the value our technology can bring right now in fueling new discoveries, facilitating operational excellence and driving measurable outcomes."

Recent Business and Technical Highlights

•Announced that Japan's largest mobile phone operator, NTT DOCOMO, is planning production deployment of a hybrid-quantum application, built with D-Wave technology, for optimizing mobile network performance. Using D-Wave's annealing quantum computing solutions, DOCOMO found that it can reduce network signal congestion across base stations, potentially leading to more efficient signal transmission and equipment cost savings.

•Announced a new collaboration with Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) to build a proof-of-concept that leverages quantum computing technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the drug discovery process. The goal of the project is to pioneer a new process for discovering 'first-in-class' pharmaceutical small compounds.

•D-Wave has been deemed "awardable" on the US Department of Defense's Tradewinds buying platform, which is designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of emerging technologies. The marketplace will now include D-Wave's annealing quantum computing technology alongside other offerings like Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), data, and analytics capabilities.

•Announced the completed calibration of a 4,400 qubit Advantage2 processor, marking a significant development milestone on the path to the commercial release of Advantage2. Compared to the previous Advantage2 prototype with 1,200 qubits, this increased scale features nearly 4x the number of qubits, allowing it to solve much larger problems. Performance benchmarks are consistent with the prototype released earlier this year, including doubled qubit coherence for 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.

•Introduced service-level agreements (SLAs) specifically tailored for Leap™ quantum cloud service customers who are transitioning applications into production. D-Wave is the only quantum computing company providing formal SLAs, and, in doing so, stands behind the high levels of availability, reliability and performance of its Leap cloud service and its ability to support requirements for commercial-grade quantum and hybrid-quantum applications as customers move into production deployments.

•Continued to make rapid progress on exploring generative AI architectures that directly use quantum processing unit (QPU) samples from quantum distributions to facilitate faster and more energy-efficient model training and inference. We have completed the initial designs of transformer and diffusion architectures and are moving toward benchmarking the role of the QPU. We are also directly supporting several customers investigating restricted Boltzmann machine architectures, a canonical machine learning approach for generative AI, that use samples from the QPU.

•Released new benchmarking vignettes showcasing the performance of the nonlinear hybrid quantum solver on two problems common to customers - flow shop scheduling/production scheduling and quadratic assignment/resource allocation. In addition, we improved the performance of the nonlinear hybrid quantum solver, solving a capacitated vehicle routing problem, for example, in one-fifth of the time.

•Continued to see expanding interest from national security and civilian agencies around near-term quantum applications, highlighted by a US Department of Defense RFI asking for near-term application identification, as well as increased discussions relating to optimization of emergency response, transportation and other public sector services in the US and abroad. This increased activity showcases governments' interest in better understanding how annealing quantum computing can play a pivotal role in solving public sector problems today.

•Announced a strategic partnership with Staque, designed to accelerate the commercial adoption of annealing quantum computing across the Middle East. The partnership was revealed at the first-ever Qubits UAE event in Dubai, a half-day version of D-Wave's annual Qubits user conference, which showcased "success powered by quantum" through business optimization use cases, progress in quantum-fueled AI technology, and demonstrations of annealing quantum computing performance over classical computing.

•Announced that D-Wave has joined the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) as a corporate partner, aiming to engage with the CQE community on materials science research, quantum education, and the development of practical optimization use cases, including for the manufacturing and logistics industries.

•Continued ongoing progress executing the company's aggressive go-to-market (GTM) growth strategy, most notably launching the quantum optimization market category with a robust collection of website content and assets that showcase key use cases including workforce scheduling, vehicle routing, production scheduling, resource optimization, and cargo loading. In addition, recent work on our systems in the area of materials simulation has opened up new GTM efforts with research and government customers.

•Announced the expansion of the D-Wave executive leadership bench with the addition of Sophie Ames as chief human resources officer as well as the addition of two new board members John DiLullo and Rohit Ghai. The moves are designed to help facilitate D-Wave's next phase of growth as it continues to usher in the era of commercial quantum computing.

Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook

We are reiterating the full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Loss financial guidance set forth in our August 9, 2024, fiscal 2024 second quarter earnings press release. Our guidance is subject to various cautionary factors described below. Based on the information available on November 14, 2024, guidance for the full year 2024 is as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA Loss

•We expect fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Loss2,3 to be less than the fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA loss of $54.3 million.

In addition, we are providing guidance with respect to the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter as follows:

•We expect the fourth quarter Revenue to improve over the third quarter Revenue.

•We expect the fourth quarter Bookings to improve over the third quarter Bookings.

__________________

1"Bookings" is an operating metric that is defined as customer orders received that are expected to generate net revenues in the future. We present the operational metric of Bookings because it reflects customers' demand for our products and services and to assist readers in analyzing our potential performance in future periods.

2"Non-GAAP Gross Profit", "Non-GAAP Gross Margin", "Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses", and "Adjusted EBITDA Loss", are non-GAAP financial measures or metrics. Please see the discussion in the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the reconciliations included at the end of this press release.

3We are not able to reconcile guidance for Adjusted EBITDA Loss to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss, and cannot provide an estimated range of net loss for such period without unreasonable efforts because certain items that impact net loss, including foreign exchange and the fair value of warrant liabilities, are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

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 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.

•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 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.
