D-Wave Quantum Inc., (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”) a leader in commercial quantum computing systems, software, and services, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.
“Our momentum is undeniable,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “From our commercial traction to substantive product advancements, from our ground-breaking scientific milestones to new strategic partnerships — we believe all these achievements are propelling us forward to solidify D-Wave’s position as the commercial quantum category builder and leader.”
Recent Business and Technical Highlights
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Highlights
Financial Results for the Fiscal Year 2023
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2023, D-Wave’s consolidated cash balance totaled $41.3 million, an increase of $34.2 million, or 485%, from the December 31, 2022 consolidated cash balance of $7.1 million.
During fiscal 2023, D-Wave raised $98.1 million in capital, including $66.1 million in equity, primarily under the Company’s common stock purchase agreement (“Equity Line of Credit” or “ELOC”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), and $32.0 million in debt, primarily under the Company’s $50 million four-year term loan agreement with PSPIB Unitas Investments II Inc., an affiliate of PSP Investments. As of December 31, 2023, D-Wave has $82.1 million in remaining capacity under the Lincoln Park ELOC commitment that terminates in October 2025. D-Wave’s ability to raise funds under the ELOC is subject to a number of conditions including having a sufficient number of registered shares and having D-Wave’s stock price above $1.00 per share.
Fiscal Year 2024 and Q1 Outlook
Based on the information available on March 27, 2024, guidance for the full year 2024 and the first quarter is as follows and our guidance is subject to various cautionary factors described below:
Adjusted EBITDA Loss
Bookings
___________________
1“Bookings” is an operating metric that is defined as customer orders received that are expected to generate net revenues in the future. We present the operational 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 or metrics. Please see the discussion in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations included at the end of this press release.
3We are not able to reconcile guidance for Adjusted EBITDA Loss to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, Net Loss, and cannot provide an estimated range of net loss for such period without unreasonable efforts because certain items that impact Net Loss, including foreign exchange and the fair value of warrant liabilities, are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.
Earnings Conference Call
In conjunction with this announcement, D-Wave will host a conference call on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), to discuss the Company’s financial results and business outlook. The live dial-in number is 1-800-267-6316 (domestic) or 1-203-518-9783 (international). The Conference ID is "D-Wave." Participating in the call on behalf of the Company will be Chief Executive Officer Alan Baratz and Chief Financial Officer John Markovich.

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 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 non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the reconciliations below.
