Earnings Call Summary

Q4 2025
Earnings Call Date:Feb 26, 2026|
% Change Since:
|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized significant commercial and technical momentum — record revenue growth (179% YoY), major system sales and enterprise QCaaS deals closed post-year-end, a large pipeline expansion (+~1,500% YoY), strong gross margin improvement, and a strategic acquisition (Quantum Circuits) that advances a dual-platform strategy. These positives are tempered by large GAAP net losses driven by non-cash warrant remeasurement, rising adjusted operating losses and adjusted EBITDA, YoY bookings decline (offset by strong sequential recovery and post-period bookings), expected OpEx increases (~15% sequential growth), and supply/fab risks. On balance the results show accelerating commercialization and strong liquidity, but with deliberate near-term investment that increases adjusted losses and creates timing variability in revenue recognition.
Company Guidance
Management said it would not give formal guidance but provided specific parameters: fiscal 2025 results included $24.6M revenue (+179% YoY), $18.7M bookings (−22% YoY), GAAP gross profit $20.3M (82.6% margin), non‑GAAP gross profit $21.1M (86% margin), an adjusted net loss of $84.5M ($0.26/sh) and adjusted EBITDA loss of $71.8M; cash and marketable securities were $884.5M as of 12/31/2025 after raising >$800M in FY25 and receiving $63.7M of warrant exercises in Q4 (and a subsequent $250M cash investment in Quantum Circuits). For 2026 they said year‑to‑date bookings already exceed any prior full year, subsequent bookings totaled >$32.8M (including a $20M system and a $10M two‑year QCaaS deal), the sales pipeline is up ~1,500% YoY (700% more prospective transactions), and they expect incremental revenue growth in H2 vs H1 2026; system sales will be recognized mostly on percentage‑of‑completion (e.g., the €10M Italy booking to be recognized ratably over five years, the $10M QCaaS ratably over two years), gate‑model QCaaS revenue to begin in 2026 with a 17‑qubit system later in 2026 and system deliveries starting in 2027, R&D headcount in New Haven to grow at least 50%, and consolidated OpEx to increase ~15% sequentially quarter‑to‑quarter — all while management believes remaining liquidity is sufficient to fund a plan to profitability.
Record Annual Revenue and Strong YoY Growth
Fiscal 2025 revenue of $24.6M, up $15.8M or 179% year-over-year (FY2024: $8.8M). Revenue mix included $16.2M systems sales, $5.5M QCaaS subscription, and $2.7M professional services.
Material Improvement in Gross Profit and Margins
GAAP gross profit for FY2025 was $20.3M, up 265% YoY; GAAP gross margin rose to 82.6% (up 19.6 percentage points). Non-GAAP gross profit was $21.1M (up 229%) with non-GAAP gross margin of 86% (up 13.2 percentage points).
Exceptional Commercial Traction and Pipeline Expansion
Sales opportunity pipeline expanded nearly 1,500% year-over-year. Bookings in Q4 were $13.4M (second-highest quarterly bookings), up 471% sequentially vs Q3. Subsequent to year-end the company closed over $32.8M in bookings, including a $20M system sale and a $10M two-year enterprise QCaaS deal.
Major System Sales and Enterprise Deals
Closed notable system/customer wins: first Advantage sale to Jülich Supercomputing Center (prior year milestone), $20M Advantage2 sale to Florida Atlantic University, and a two-year $10M enterprise QCaaS contract with a Fortune 100 company.
Strategic Acquisition and Dual-Platform Positioning
Acquisition of Quantum Circuits completed (post-close $250M cash invested). Acquisition positions D-Wave as a dual-platform company (annealing + superconducting dual-rail gate-model), expanding long-term TAM and enabling early gate-model revenue and pipeline.
Technical Milestones — Quantum Supremacy and Gate-Model Advancements
Announced demonstration of quantum supremacy on a useful real-world problem using Advantage2 (claimed uniqueness among peers). Launched Advantage2 GA; demonstrated on-chip cryogenic control for gate-model qubits; eight-qubit gate-model system available to select customers and 17-qubit expected later in 2026.
Government & Defense Relevance
Launched dedicated U.S. government solutions unit. Demonstrated missile defense simulation results: 10x faster time-to-solution, 9%–12% improvement in threat mitigation, and 45–60 additional intercepts in a 500-missile scenario, generating strong government interest.
Strong Liquidity Position
Consolidated cash and marketable securities of $884.5M as of 12/31/2025, a 397% increase YoY (prior year $178.0M). Raised over $800M in gross proceeds during FY2025 from equity programs and exercises, and management states remaining liquidity supports a fully funded plan to profitability.
