IonQ Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
COLLEGE PARK, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“We had yet another banner quarter at IonQ, booking $63.5 million and exceeding the high end of our revenue range. We won a $54.5 million deal with the United States Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to develop and deliver hardware that enables the scaling and networking of quantum systems,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO of IonQ. “We have entered a new era of commercialization for quantum networking, as demonstrated by the AFRL deal, today's announcement of the Qubitekk acquisition, and last quarter’s networking win with ARLIS. These announcements advance our position as a market leader in quantum networking, in addition to our pole position in quantum computing.”
“For the first time in IonQ’s history, we are announcing a plan to partner on the development of quantum applications for a production use case with AstraZeneca,” said Chapman. “We believe this monumental collaboration will be the first step to validate the years of pioneering research we have conducted in quantum chemistry.”
Financial Highlights

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement IonQ’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, IonQ uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA 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 the Company’s results period over period. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of assumed warrant liabilities, and other non-recurring non-operating income and expenses. IonQ uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the
operating performance of its business, excluding specifically identified items that it does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of 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 IonQ’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. IonQ shows a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

IonQ Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words. Statements that are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast,” “offers,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include those related to IonQ’s position in the quantum networking sector; its planned partnership with AstraZeneca to develop production applications; the expected progress of IonQ’s application development collaborations; the closing of its transaction to acquire substantially all of the assets of Qubitekk, Inc., including its patents; the expected hiring of Qubitekk employees; the delivery of hardware and technology by IonQ under its contract with AFRL; advancement of quantum networking technology; the expected delivery to IonQ of components for its next generation systems; IonQ’s development of applications in AstraZeneca’s BioVentureHub; the Company’s technology driving commercial applications in the future; the Company’s future financial and operating performance, including our preliminary outlook and guidance; the appearance of new applications of IonQ’s products and services; the ability for third parties to implement IonQ’s offerings to solve their problems and increase their quantum computing capabilities; expansion of IonQ’s sales pipeline; IonQ’s quantum computing capabilities and plans; future deliveries of and access to IonQ’s quantum computers and services; future purchases of IonQ’s offerings by customers using congressionally-appropriated funds from the U.S. government; IonQ’s performance of existing contracts in the future, including anticipated timing of completion of research, development and manufacturing by IonQ; IonQ receiving additional revenues under planned subsequent phases of customer contracts; and the scalability and reliability of IonQ’s quantum computing offerings. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: changes in the competitive industries in which IonQ operates, including development of competing technologies; our ability to sell effectively to government entities and large enterprises; changes in laws and regulations affecting IonQ’s and its suppliers’ businesses; IonQ’s ability to implement its business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, to identify and realize partnerships and opportunities, and to engage new and existing customers; its inability to effectively enter new markets; IonQ’s ability to deliver services and products within currently anticipated timelines; its inability to attract and retain key personnel; the conditions for closing the asset purchase transaction with Qubitekk not being met, including the entry into certain contracts and amendments to contracts; IonQ’s customers deciding or declining to extend contracts into new phases; the inability of its suppliers to deliver components that meet expectations timely; changes in U.S. government spending or policy that may affect IonQ’s customers; changes to U.S. government goals and metrics of success with regard to implementation of quantum computing and quantum networking; and risks associated with U.S. government sales, including availability of funding and provisions that allow the government to unilaterally terminate or modify contracts for convenience. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s filings, including but not limited to those described in the “Risk Factors'' section of IonQ’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by IonQ from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and IonQ assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. IonQ does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
