Working with D-Wave’s technology, we’ve built and now deployed a quantum optimization application that goes beyond what we were able to achieve with a purely classical computing approach.” — Ziya Dalkılıç, Data Scientist, Ford Otosan One of top 5 global quantum computing patent portfolios As of 2023; (Source: QED-C)


 
Beyond Classical: D-Wave First to Demonstrate Quantum Supremacy on Useful, Real-World Problem Landmark peer-reviewed paper published in Science, “Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation,” unequivocally validates D-Wave achievement of the world’s first and only demonstration of quantum computational supremacy on useful real-world problem These problems cannot be solved by classical computers This research showed that D-Wave’s annealing quantum computer was able to perform a magnetic materials simulation in minutes that would take nearly one million years and more than the world’s electricity supply on one of today’s most powerful classical supercomputers

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. Adjusted EBITDA Loss is a financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that this measure provides investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of such results period over period. 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. The following is a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure: D-Wave Quantum Inc. Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA Loss Three Months Ended March 31 20242025(in thousands of U.S. dollars) $ (17,312)$ (5,421)Net Loss Excluding: 229 376 Depreciation and Amortization 3,509 3,993 Stock-based compensation 1,140 226 Interest expense (1) 2,652 (3,943)Change in fair value of warrant liabilities (1,199)-Change in fair value of Term Loan (1,660)-Gain on investment in marketable securities (1,137)(2,153)Other (income) expense, net (2) 882 810 Other non-operating or non-recurring expenses (3) (12,896)(6,112)Adjusted EBITDA Loss 1) Interest expense primarily reflects the paid-in-kind interest associated with the term loan agreement with PSPIB Unitas Investments II Inc. entered into on April 13, 2023 and fully repaid on October 22, 2024, and interest and adjustments to accrued interest on the SIF Loan. 2) Other income (expense), net consists primarily of foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income earned from cash and cash equivalents. 3) Includes legal, consulting, and accounting fees arising from capital markets activities that are unrelated to the Company's core business operations, as well as non- recurring professional fees and credit loss expenses.
