Roadmap Target
Dual-platform: annealing utility today + gate-model roadmap (June 2026 Investor Day) — initial 17-qubit gate-model system 2026, 49 qubits 2027, 181 qubits 2028, 10 logical qubits 2030, 100 logical qubits executing 1M+ operations by 2032 via dual-rail qubits (Quantum Circuits acquisition)
Advantage_system4 is a currently available Leap solver with 5,627 calibrated qubits and 40,279 couplers in a Pegasus topology. It has more qubits than the newer 4,400+ qubit Advantage2 flagship, so it is used for this largest-currently-available ranking. Quantum annealing is a specialized optimization paradigm and its qubit counts are not directly comparable to gate-model systems. Separately, D-Wave's dual-rail gate-model research reported approximately 99.9% two-qubit entangling-gate fidelity, approximately 500 ns gate time, native error detection, and simulations indicating up to a 10x logical-error reduction per error-correction increment (Aug 2026); these research results do not describe the commercial annealing platform.

Financial Story
FY 2025
Revenue
$24.59M
▲ 178.5% YoY
Net Income
-$355.06M
Cash
$635.35M
D-Wave revenue surges 179% to $24.6M but net loss balloons to $355M on $271M warrant charges
·Raised ~$779M in financing during FY2025 via ATM offerings ($537M), warrant exercises ($203M), and Lincoln Park sales ($38M), ending with $635M cash plus $249M in marketable securities.
·Revenue nearly tripled to $24.6M driven by $16.2M in quantum system sales — a new revenue stream not present at scale in 2024.
·All Public Warrants eliminated: 17.6M warrants exercised for $203M cash proceeds and remaining 270,820 redeemed Nov 19, 2025, removing $270M mark-to-market liability drag going forward.
Management expects to continue incurring significant losses for the foreseeable future as it invests in R&D programs and go-to-market initiatives; total cost of revenue and operating expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollars.
FY 2024
Revenue
$8.83M
▲ 0.8% YoY
Net Income
-$143.88M
Cash
$178.00M
D-Wave revenue flat at $8.8M while net loss nearly doubles to $143.9M on warrant liability surge
·Raised $214.2M in net equity proceeds during FY2024 plus additional $146.2M in January 2025, resolving prior going-concern doubt and ending year with $178M cash.
·Net loss ballooned to $143.9M primarily due to $68.2M non-cash charge from rising fair value of warrant liabilities tied to surging stock price.
·Fully repaid $30M Term Loan plus $4.3M PIK interest in October 2024, eliminating key debt obligation and covenant risk.
Company expects continued significant operating losses and negative cash flows as it invests in annealing and gate-model quantum computing R&D and expands go-to-market. Management believes current cash ($178M + $146M raised Jan 2025) is sufficient for at least 12 months. QCaaS revenue mix expected to grow over time.
FY 2023
Revenue
$8.76M
▲ 22.1% YoY
Net Income
-$82.72M
Cash
$41.30M
D-Wave posts 22% revenue growth but net loss widens 54% to $82.7M with going concern doubt
·Raised $63.7M via 42.1M share issuances to Lincoln Park and drew $30M from a new $50M PSPIB Term Loan, providing near-term liquidity runway.
·G&A expenses surged 72% to $37M driven by public company scaling costs, while R&D rose 18% to $37.9M for gate-model quantum computing development.
·Management identified going concern doubt; material weakness in internal controls persists with multiple financial statement restatements across 2022–2023.
Company expects continued significant losses and negative cash flows as it invests in gate-model quantum computing and QCaaS growth; no specific guidance provided. NYSE compliance restored as of March 2024 but ongoing share price and covenant compliance risks remain.
FY 2022
Revenue
$7.17M
Net Income
-$51.53M
D-Wave posts $7.2M revenue but net loss balloons to $51.5M amid going concern doubt
·Completed SPAC merger with DPCM in August 2022, raising only ~$9M from trust due to ~29.1M share redemptions; PIPE added $40M gross.
·Total operating expenses surged 47% to $63.7M driven by R&D (+26%), G&A (+81%), and S&M (+63%) as company scaled post-merger public company costs.
·Going concern flagged — board retained advisor and secured $15M Term Loan tranche in April 2023; stock below $1.00 Floor Price, blocking Lincoln Park $150M equity facility.
Expects continued significant losses as R&D and go-to-market investment increases; QCaaS share of revenue expected to dip in 2023 due to professional services demand, then recover longer-term. Benchmark revenue of $70M needed to trigger SIF loan repayment, projected between 2025–2027.
