Current report

Zapata’s software platform for quantum computing applications is based on our patented technology and supports a wide range of use cases in cryptography, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, materials discovery and defense. The Company is the only organization to have participated across all technical areas of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (“DARPA”)’s Quantum Benchmarking program and has worked with Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies to unlock the potential of quantum computing.

Current report

Following a period of broader AI exploration, the Company undertook, in 2024 and 2025, a strategic realignment to refocus on its core quantum mission: developing the software and tooling layer that enables enterprises, governments, and researchers to harness quantum computing for economically meaningful outcomes.

Current report

Zapata’s hardware-agnostic approach and proprietary technology address the “software bottleneck” that limits quantum adoption. The Company’s products - Orquestra, Bench-Q, Quantum Graph, and Quantum Pilot - provide the infrastructure and workflow tools that connect problem discovery, algorithm design, and hardware execution. These tools are supported by professional services, partnerships, and licensing programs that collectively form the Company’s business model.

Current report

On March 28, 2024, we completed our business combination with Andretti Acquisition Corp. (“AAC”), pursuant to which, among other things, Legacy Zapata became a wholly owned subsidiary of AAC (the “Merger”). For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization whereby Legacy Zapata was treated as the accounting acquirer and was treated as the acquired company.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

Previous report

Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, the possibility that estimates, projections and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based prove to be incorrect, our ability to raise the necessary capital to re-establish material operations and generate revenue and the terms and timing of any related transactions, central bank interest rates and future interest rate changes, the risks arising from the impact of inflation, tariffs, the deterioration of the labor market of the United States, a recession which may result on the Company’s business, prospective customers, and on the national and global economy, our ability to attract homeowners to our products and services, the potential for regulatory changes impacting quantum computing, artificial intelligence, data privacy and other areas that impact the Company’s business, and the ability of us and third parties on which we depend to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the risk that software and technology infrastructure on which we depend fail to perform as designed or intended, and the risks and uncertainties disclosed under Item 1A – Risk Factors contained in this Report. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.

Previous report

On March 28, 2024, we completed our planned business combination with AAC, pursuant to which, among other things, Legacy Zapata became a wholly owned subsidiary of AAC (the “Merger”). Immediately prior to the Merger, AAC filed an application for deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which AAC was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”), changing its name to Zapata Computing Holdings Inc. At the effective time of the Domestication, existing holders of ordinary shares of AAC received 7,596,206 shares of our common stock in exchange for their Class A and Class B ordinary shares held immediately prior to the Domestication.

Previous report

Upon the closing of the Merger, holders of shares of Legacy Zapata common stock and Legacy Zapata Convertible Preferred Stock received an aggregate of 17,696,425 shares of our common stock, and holders of Legacy Zapata options received options to purchase an aggregate of 3,016,409 shares of our common stock, calculated in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement by and among AAC, Legacy Zapata and Tigre Merger Sub, Inc., entered into on September 6, 2023 (the Business Combination Agreement”), by multiplying each share of Convertible Preferred Stock, Legacy Zapata common stock (including shares underlying options) by 0.9141.

On April 1, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, our common stock was listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and our warrants (the “Warrants”) were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new trading symbols “ZPTA” and “ZPTAW,” respectively. Costs paid by us that were directly attributable to the Merger were $7.1 million and were treated as issuance costs and netted against additional paid-in-capital in our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, upon the consummation of the Merger, the holders of certain outstanding senior secured promissory notes issued by Legacy Zapata pursuant to a Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement (the “Senior Secured Notes”) elected to convert the principal of their notes and accrued interest thereon into 3,257,876 shares of our common stock (856,202 shares to related parties) in accordance with their terms, at a conversion price of $4.50 per share. Aggregate principal and accrued interest of $2.2 million on the Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

Previous report

On July 4, 2023, we entered into an engagement letter with a third party, pursuant to which the third party acted as a capital markets advisor to AAC in connection with the Merger. AAC agreed to pay the third party a fee of (i) $0.5 million in cash payable upon the closing of the Merger, plus (ii) $1.0 million in shares of our common stock, payable 180 days after the closing of the Merger plus (iii) $1.0 million payable in either cash or shares of our common stock, payable 270 calendar days following the completion of the Merger. On March 25, 2024, AAC and the third party entered into an amendment to the engagement letter to settle the fee arrangement, such that there is no remaining payment obligation following the Merger.

Previous report

On September 13, 2023, we entered into an agreement with an additional third party for advisory services to be provided in connection with the Merger.

The Senior Secured Note issued to this third party was a modified award issued subsequent to the initial date of grant. The incremental fair value of the Senior Secured Note immediately preceding the award modification was recorded as a loss on issuance of senior secured notes within total other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Senior Secured Note issued to the third party has the same terms as the Senior Secured Notes issued to other noteholders.

Under our consulting contracts, our deliverables may include integrated quantum, classical or hybrid quantum-classical computing solutions to our customers or to provide research and development services regarding the potential benefits of these solutions to use cases specified by our customer. Our subscription-based solutions consist of our commitment to provide access to our hosted software platform throughout the contract term along with stand-ready scientific and software engineering services.

Previous report

Revenue from consulting services is generally recognized over the contract term as performance is completed on the performance obligations identified. Revenue from stand-ready scientific and engineering services are recognized over the contract term on a ratable basis, as the obligation represents a stand-ready obligation.

Previous report

Our revenue recognition policies are discussed below under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Previous report

Previous report

Revenue was $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $1.8 million was primarily attributable to the Operational Cessation and reductions associated with the completion of legacy contracts partially offset by increases from newly initiated projects in 2024.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expense was $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $1.2 million was primarily driven by a $1.0 million increase in costs related to a sponsorship agreement with Andretti Autosport 1, LLC, and a $0.2 million increase in outbound marketing during 2024.

Previous report

Research and development expense was $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $1.5 million was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.1 million in personnel costs related to research and development headcount reductions and $0.8 million related to the Operational Cessation, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in hosting charges incurred as a result of a collaborative research agreement that commenced in 2024.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses were $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $4.7 million was primarily attributable to costs associated with our transition from a private to a public entity. This includes a $2.6 million increase in professional services, a $0.5 million increase in compensation to our board of directors, a $0.8 million increase in directors and officers insurance premiums, and a $0.9 million of costs incurred related to the search and replacement of our general counsel and Chief Financial Officer, and the hiring of our Chief Product Officer.

Previous report

In December 2023, prior to the Merger, we entered into a Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell up to $14.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes and offered to exchange our outstanding Senior Notes for Senior Secured Notes. All previously issued Senior Notes were canceled in exchange for Senior Secured Notes with a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes of $5.6 million plus accrued and unpaid interest of $0.6 million, through the date immediately prior to the exchange. We received gross proceeds in cash of $8.9 million from the issuance of Senior Secured Notes, excluding funds received upon the issuance of Senior Notes. In addition, we issued $1.1 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes to third party advisors in lieu of cash payment for services related to the Merger.

Previous report

To finance transaction costs in connection with the Merger, the sponsor of AAC and certain of AAC’s officers and directors made working capital loans (the “Notes Payable – Related Party”) to AAC prior to the closing of the Merger. The Notes Payable – Related Party would either be repaid upon the consummation of the Merger, without interest, or at AAC’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Notes Payable – Related Party could be converted into Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant on the date of the Merger (see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report).

Previous report

On March 28, 2024, the terms of the Notes Payable – Related Party were amended, pursuant to which the outstanding principal balance plus the accrued interest of $2.6 million, which was also due per its terms at the closing of the Merger was deferred and became due in monthly installments (including interest accruing from the closing of the Merger through the payment date) for twelve months thereafter beginning thirty days following the effectiveness of the Lincoln Park Registration Statement. The Lincoln Park Registration Statement was declared effective on April 18, 2024. Upon the closing of the Merger, none of the note holders elected to exercise their option of converting their respective loans into warrants. The Notes Payable – Related Party bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the Notes Payable – Related Party was $1.9 million within our consolidated balance sheet.

Previous report

On December 19, 2023, prior to the Merger, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) pursuant to which Lincoln Park agreed to purchase from us, an aggregate of up to $75.0 million of common stock from time to time over a 36-month period following the closing of the Merger. In addition, we paid Lincoln Park a Commitment Fee through the issuance of 712,025 shares of common stock. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which we are obligated to file the Lincoln Park Registration Statement that covers the shares of common stock that are issuable to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement (including the Commitment Shares) with the SEC within 45 days following the closing of the Merger.

In accordance with the 2024 Purchase Agreement, we issued 500,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee.

Net cash used in operating activities was $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The factors affecting Legacy Zapata’s operating cash flows during this period were its net loss of $29.7 million, partially offset by a net change in its operating assets and liabilities of $2.0 million and non-cash charges of $12.9 million. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of $0.2 million in depreciation and amortization expense, $4.8 million in the change in fair value of Convertible Notes, $6.9 million in losses on extinguishment of Senior Notes, $0.3 million in non-cash lease expense, and $0.8 million in stock-based compensation expense. The change in operating assets and liabilities was driven by a $3.5 million increase in accounts payable, a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.2 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current and non-current assets, a $1.0 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, a $0.2 million increase in deferred revenue and a $0.4 million decrease in operating lease liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable is due to the timing of billings and collections from customer contracts. The increase in accounts payable was primarily related to the timing of invoicing and payments of sponsorship fees and professional services fees. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other current and non-current assets was primarily due to payment of transaction costs related to the Merger. The decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities is primarily due to an increase in accrued legal fees, offset by the payment of consulting and professional fees, the reversal of accrued commissions and reduction in accrued severance, and the payment of sponsorship fees. The decrease in deferred revenue is due to the timing of billings related to customer contracts and the recognition of revenue from customer contracts. The decrease in operating lease liabilities resulted primarily from lease payments.
