Previous report
Revenue decreased by $0.4 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The decreases were mainly due to reductions in revenue from collaborative research, related materials and professional services contracts. Our revenue has been negatively impacted by expiration of the National Quantum Initiative Act in September 2023 and its pending reauthorization in the United States Congress.
Previous report
Cost of revenue increased by $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The change in cost of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was not significant, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Cost of revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was negatively impacted by an unfavorable revenue mix, with more revenue and cost of revenue coming from contracts with higher costs and a lower gross margin profile. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the impact of the unfavorable revenue mix was mostly offset by the impact of lower revenue levels on cost of revenue.
Previous report
Our cost of revenue and gross margins are impacted by the composition of our revenue and variability in the pricing and terms of our development contracts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized revenue and cost of revenue from contracts to deliver 24-qubit and 36-qubit quantum computing systems, which have higher costs and a lower gross margin profile than most of our other contracts.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
Previous report
We are also currently a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as the market value of our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
Previous report
We determined as of June 30, 2025, the last business day of our second fiscal quarter in 2025, that we will no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company and will no longer be eligible to take advantage of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2026. On August 27, 2025, the staff of the SEC published new guidance regarding filer status transition for certain smaller reporting companies that no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company. Based on this guidance, the Company has determined that it will be a “non-accelerated filer” as of December 31, 2025 for filings that are due in 2026. Based on the current rules of the SEC, the Company expects that it will continue to qualify as an EGC until December 31, 2026.

Previous wording
With the goal of unlocking this opportunity, we have developed the world’s first multi-chip quantum processor for scalable quantum computing systems. We believe that this patented and patent pending, modular chip architecture is the building block for new generations of quantum processors that we expect to achieve a clear advantage over classical computers. Our long-term business model centers on revenue generated from sales of quantum processing units (QPUs) and quantum computing systems made accessible via the cloud in the form of Quantum Computing as a Service (“QCaaS”) products. However, the substantial majority of our revenues are currently derived from development contracts, and we anticipate this market opportunity will continue to represent an important source of revenue for at least the next several years as we work to ramp up sales of QPUs and our QCaaS business. Additionally, we are working to further develop a revenue stream and forging important customer relationships by entering into technology development contracts with various partners.

Our development contracts are typically time and materials, cost-share based or fixed price milestone contracts and the timing and amounts of revenue recognized in any given period will vary significantly based on the work performed and/or satisfaction of performance obligations. Revenue is expected to vary in terms of timing and size, resulting in significant fluctuations in revenue levels in future periods.
Previous wording
We expect that cost of revenue and total gross profit as a percentage of revenue will vary in future quarterly and annual periods due to changes in the composition of our revenue and variability in the pricing and terms of our development contracts.

The increase in research and development expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was mainly due to increases in salaries, employee related costs and stock based compensation for existing employees to remain competitive in the marketplace for talent and new hires. Salaries and employee related costs increased by $0.8 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Employee related stock-based compensation costs increased by $0.8 million and $1.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Higher costs for materials, consultants and information technology also contributed to the increase in both periods.
Current wording
The increase in research and development expenses was mainly due to increases in salaries, employee related costs and stock-based compensation for new hires and existing employees to remain competitive in the marketplace for talent. Salaries and employee related costs increased by $1.2 million and employee related stock-based compensation costs increased by $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Costs for materials increased by $0.9 million and depreciation increased by $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the prior year period. All other research and development expenses increased by $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, to support our research and development efforts.
Previous wording
We anticipate that research and development expenditures will grow in the future as we continue to focus on our technology roadmap and long-term goal of achieving broad quantum advantage. In the future, we may seek to significantly increase our capital expenditures, including to upgrade our current chip fabrication facility, and possibly invest in a new quantum chip fabrication facility, which would require a significant amount of cash for capital expenditures and increase our depreciation expense in future years.

The increase in interest income during the three and nine months ended September, 2025, when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was due to an increase in the balances of our invested cash and available-for-sale investments resulting from our equity offerings during late 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Fluctuations in the rates of interest earned on our investments also had an impact on interest income during these periods.
Current wording
Interest income was $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was due to an increase in the balances of our invested cash and available-for-sale investments resulting from an equity offering and the Quanta private placement investment during the second quarter of 2025 and cash proceeds from warrant exercises in the fourth quarter of 2025. Fluctuations in the rates of interest earned on our investments also had an impact on interest income during these periods.

We believe that our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments should be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs for the next 12 months based on our current business plan, and expectations and assumptions considering current macroeconomic conditions. Our operating plan may change because of factors currently unknown, including factors described herein, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as strategic collaborations or other transactions. In addition, we may seek additional capital even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for current or future operating plans.

Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of QPUs, our development contracts and other services, including our QCaaS offering, we believe we will meet our cash requirements and obligations primarily through our existing cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments, potential securities financings or other capital sources. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be, or could be, diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. In addition, the likelihood that Public Warrant holders will exercise their warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our Common Stock. If the trading price for our Common Stock is less than $11.50 per share, we believe holders of our Public Warrants will be unlikely to exercise their warrants. To the extent our warrants are exercised, additional shares of Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of our Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.
