Horizon Quantum Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Horizon Quantum Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: HQ) (“Horizon Quantum,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a pioneer of software infrastructure for quantum applications, today reported financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter and Recent Business Highlights (all figures presented in USD):

CEO Commentary

“Rapid advancement in quantum computing hardware coupled with recent breakthroughs in error correction may suggest the field is reaching an inflection point, with quantum advantage drawing nearer. We believe that the successful completion of our business combination with dMY Squared Technology Group, Inc., will allow us to significantly accelerate progress in building the software infrastructure to power quantum applications. We anticipate that the business combination has provided us with the financial runway required to support our strategic priorities for the foreseeable future, while enabling increased investments in R&D, allowing us to advance our integrated development environment, Triple Alpha, and push towards quantum advantage with the extension of our testbed. Together, we believe these initiatives will significantly strengthen our ability to unlock the full potential of quantum computing, positioning us to develop and grow revenue as the industry drives towards quantum advantage,” said Horizon Quantum CEO and Founder Dr. Joe Fitzsimons.

He continued, “During the first quarter in 2026, we became a public company and made meaningful progress on several fronts. We enhanced the stability and feature set of our object-oriented programming language Beryllium. We announced collaborations with leading hardware providers Alice & Bob and AQT, and we inaugurated the first quantum system in our hardware testbed. We also announced the purchase of our second quantum system, one that may very well be capable of solving some challenging computational problems. Taking the step of hosting both solid-state and atom-based systems provides us with a multi-modality testbed that few commercial organizations can match. It allows us to build quantum software infrastructure that is genuinely hardware-agnostic, not because it ignores the hardware, but because it is developed in direct contact with very different quantum computing technologies.”

Successful Completion of Business Combination

Operational Highlights

Integrated Development Environment (IDE) – Triple Alpha

Triple Alpha—Horizon Quantum’s integrated development environment—enables developers to build complex, hardware-agnostic quantum programs. Built with proprietary Turing-complete languages and an optimizing compiler, it empowers programmers to work at multiple levels of abstraction.

Triple Alpha gives developers access to advanced capabilities supported by Horizon Quantum’s underlying execution and deployment infrastructure. Users can code, compile, and optimize programs across a range of processors and simulators, with built-in resource analysis and single-step API deployment.

Hardware Partners

By tightly integrating its software infrastructure with a variety of hardware platforms, Horizon Quantum aims to provide developers with the most direct path to broad quantum advantage and help ensure that their quantum applications remain useful—no matter which modality emerges as a frontrunner.

Testbed

Horizon Quantum is currently the only quantum software company to operate its own quantum computer. This gives Horizon Quantum full control over both quantum hardware and software stacks, providing a testbed for the integration of its software directly with hardware systems, and allowing Horizon Quantum to develop real-time execution capabilities that go beyond what is possible over cloud connections. This represents a possible critical advantage in pursuing quantum advantage, where tight integration between hardware and software is expected to be critical to early success. With the acquisition of a second testbed system, Horizon Quantum intends to extend its hardware capabilities beyond solid state qubits to also encompass atom-based systems. The anticipated performance of the new system is expected to be an important resource for both in-house scientists and external Triple Alpha users pursuing quantum advantage.

First Quarter Financial Results

All results presented prior to the closing of the business combination on March 19, 2026, reflect the financial results of Horizon Quantum Computing Pte. Ltd. Results as of March 31, 2026, reflect those of Horizon Quantum Holdings Ltd.

Conference Call Information

As previously announced, the company will hold a conference call to discuss its first quarter on May 5 at 8:00 a.m. ET. The conference call will be broadcast live over the internet and can be accessed at https://investors.horizonquantum.com/news-events/events. For those unable to listen to the live broadcast, an archived version will be available at the same location for one year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Horizon Quantum’s condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of the company’s results period over period. EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, and income tax expense and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, income tax expense, share-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities and non-recurring business combination expenses. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its business, by excluding specifically identified items that management does not believe directly reflect the Company’s core operations and may not be indicative of its recurring 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 the Company’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. For Horizon Quantum’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the Company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

About Horizon Quantum

Horizon Quantum [NASDAQ: HQ] is on a mission to unlock broad quantum advantage by building the software infrastructure that empowers developers to use quantum computing to solve the world’s toughest computational problems.

Founded in 2018 by Dr. Joe Fitzsimons, a leading researcher and former professor with more than two decades of experience in quantum computing, the company is bridging the gap between today’s hardware and tomorrow’s applications through the creation of advanced quantum software development tools. Its integrated development environment, Triple Alpha, enables developers to write sophisticated, hardware-agnostic quantum programs at different levels of abstraction.

Note to Investors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the businesses of Horizon Quantum may differ from its actual results and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “plan,” “enable,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements and Horizon Quantum therefore cautions against placing undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are outside of the control of Horizon Quantum and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial, performance and operational metrics and projections of market opportunity; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits and costs, if any, of the strategic collaborations with AQT, IonQ, and Alice & Bob, including our ability to integrate their technologies within our quantum computing testbed and Triple Alpha platform; (3) the outcome of any efforts to integrate Horizon Quantum and AQT and IonQ’s trapped-ion processor technology with Horizon Quantum’s software infrastructure; (4) the entry into the Quantum Systems Agreement, dated March 31, 2026 among Horizon Quantum and IonQ, Inc.
