Recent Business and Technical Highlights

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

Financial Results for the First Half of 2026

 

1“Bookings” is an operating metric that is defined as customer orders received that are expected to generate net revenues in the future. Year-to-date 2026 Bookings includes $2.3 million in Quantum Circuits bookings that were closed immediately prior to the completion of the acquisition of Quantum Circuits in January 2026. We present the operating 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. Please see the discussion in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations included at the end of this press release.

3Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of noncancellable orders for which service has not been performed, which include deferred revenue and the amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenues in future periods from open contracts and excludes unexercised renewals.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2026, D-Wave’s consolidated cash and marketable investment securities balance totaled $546.2 million, representing a $273.1 million, or 33% decrease from the June 30, 2025 consolidated cash and marketable investment securities balance of $819.3 million, with over 90% of the decrease attributable to the cash consideration associated with the January 2026 acquisition of Quantum Circuits.

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:

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.
