Risks Related to D-Wave Quantum’sOur Financial Condition and Status as an Early-Stage Company

Reworded

Near term, our ability to generate revenue will largely be dependent on our ability to continue to develop and produce annealing quantum computers and hybrid quantum-classical solvers that are able to solve customer business problems at scale. LongerIn term,addition, our ability to generate revenue will also be dependentdepend on our ability to develop, produce and commercialize gate-model quantum computers. We have commercialized annealing quantum computers, butand weplan haveto notmake yetan commercialized ainitial gate-model quantum computer.computer Ourgenerally available in 2026. However, our product roadmap may not be realized as quickly as hoped, or at all.

Reworded

Since our inception, we have incurred significant net losses. As of December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, the Companywe had an accumulated deficit of $626.9$982.0 million and $483.1$626.9 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, the Companywe incurred a net losslosses of $143.9$355.1 million and $82.7$143.9 million, respectively, and the Company had net cash outflows from operating activities of $42.6$72.0 million and $60.6$42.6 million, respectively. To date, our primary sources of capital have been through sales of our equity securities, debt financing, revenue from the sale of our products and services, and government assistance.

Reworded

We expect to incur additional operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities as we continue to expand our commercial operations and research and development programs. The extent of our future operating losses and the timing of profitability are highly uncertain, and we expect to continue incurring significant expenses and operating losses over the next several years. Any additional operating losses may have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and the market price of our commonCommon stock,Shares, and we cannot assure you that we will ever be able to achieve profitability.

Reworded

Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase such profitability. Additionally, our costs may increase in future periods and we may expend substantial financial and other resources on, among things, sales and marketing, the hiring of additional officers, employees, contractors and other service providers, and general administration, which may include a significant increase in legal and accounting expenses related to public company compliance, continued compliance and various regulations applicable to our business or arising from the growth and maturity of our company. Our failure to become and remain profitable would depress the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our development efforts, obtain regulatory approvals, diversify our product and service offerings or continue our operations, and may cause the market price of our commonCommon stockShares to decline.

Reworded

If we do not adequately fund our research and development efforts or use research and development teams effectively or build a sufficient number of annealing quantum computer production systems, we may not be able to achieve our technological goals, build sufficient systems, meet customer and market demand, or compete effectively and our business and operating results may be harmed.

Reworded

Our estimates of market opportunity included in this Form 10-K may prove to be inaccurate and may not be indicative of our future growth or performance. Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. While our estimateestimates of the TAM included in this Form 10-K isare made in good faith and isare based on assumptions and estimates we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, thisthese estimateestimates may not prove to be accurate. Further, even if the estimateestimates of our market opportunity does prove to be accurate, we could fail to capture significant portions, or any portion, of the available markets. Alternatives to our quantum computing products may present themselves and if they do, could substantially reduce the market for our computing services. Advances in classical computing may prove more robust for longer than currently anticipated and could adversely affect the timing of any quantum advantage being achieved, if at all. Any expansions in our markets depend on a number of factors, including the cost, performance, and perceived value associated with our products and services. In making such forecasts, we rely on data provided by industry sources and customers, among other things, that we have not independently verified and such data may not be accurate, and any inaccuracy will affect the accuracy of our forecasts. The accuracy of our forecasts may also be affected by human error in the interpretation of such data.

Reworded

We depend on, and anticipate that we will continue to depend on, various third-party suppliers in order to sustain and grow our business. Failure of any of these suppliers to continue to provide products and services to maintain, support or secure their technology platforms or our integrations, or errors or defects in their technologies, products or services, could adversely affect our relationships with our customers, damage our brand and reputation and result in delays or difficulties in our ability to provide our platform. Our ability to produce and scale our annealing and gate modelgate-model quantum computers is dependent also upon components we must source from the electronics and semiconductor industries. Shortages or supply interruptions in any of these components will adversely impact our financial performance.

Reworded

Our platform and products depend on the ability to access and integrate with third-party cloud providers. In particular, we have developed our platform and products to integrate with certain third-party cloud providers and the third-party applications of other parties. If we choose or are required to change cloud providers, we will incur costs to port our platform and products to a new service and may experience service interruptions during a change of cloud provider. Generally, third-party cloud providers and the data we receive from the third-party cloud providers are written and controlled by the application provider. Any changes or modifications to the third-party cloud providers or the data provided could negatively impact the functionality of, or require us to make changes to, our platform and products, which would need to occur quickly to avoid interruptions in service for our customers. See “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Our products and services are dependent upon our relationship with third-party providers and any disruption of or interference with our use of such third-party providers would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition” below.

Risks Related to D-Wave Quantum’sOur Business and Industry

Added

The failure to successfully integrate Quantum Circuits could adversely affect our operations.

Added

On January 20, 2026, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity of Quantum Circuits, a leading developer of error-corrected superconducting gate-model quantum computing systems, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement.

Added

Following the Acquisition, we and Quantum Circuits will need to successfully integrate and streamline overlapping functions. While the costs associated with this combination of operations have not been identified, any such costs associated with this type of integration may have an adverse effect on our operating results in the periods in which they are incurred. We and Quantum Circuits have different systems and procedures in many operational areas that must be rationalized and integrated. There may be substantial difficulties associated with integrating two separate companies, and there can be no assurance that such integration will be accomplished expeditiously or successfully. The integration of certain operations following an acquisition will require the dedication of management resources that may temporarily detract attention from our day-to-day business. Failure to accomplish the integration of our operations and those of Quantum Circuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

The market price of our Common Shares could decline as a result of the Acquisition.

Added

The market price of our Common Shares may decline significantly as a result of the Acquisition if we do not experience the benefits of the Acquisition as quickly as anticipated, the costs of or operational difficulties arising from the Acquisition are greater than anticipated, our development and commercialization plans and/or the synergies between annealing and gate-model computing methods fail to materialize, or the impact of the Acquisition on our financial results is not in line with our expectations or those of financial analysts or others.

Reworded

Building quantum computers requires advances in both science and engineering, and we may not have the ability to deliver those advances. The markets in which we operate are still rapidly evolving and highly competitive and the impact of rapidly changing science and engineering technologies could have an impact on the delivery of our technical roadmap which means that future generations of products both in quantum annealing and in gate modelgate-model may be delayed or may never be delivered. We could also face the same challenges in our ability to scale our hybrid solvers to effectively meet commercial requirements. If this happens, our technical roadmap may be delayed or may never be achieved, either of which would have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Reworded

•companies based in countries such as China, Russia, Canada, the United States, Australia andAustralia, the United Kingdom,Kingdom and Switzerland, and those in the European Union as of the date of this Form 10-K and we believe additional countries in the future;

Reworded

The design and manufacturing of our quantum computers are dependent on a number of critical supplierssuppliers, and unknown supply chain issues that could delay the introduction of our products and services or cause a significant disruption in our supplier base could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

•any reductionsreductions, delays or interruption in supply, including due to technological problems, a supplier's decision to re-prioritize their business with us or failure to perform satisfactorily under their agreement with us, equipment malfunctions, regulatory actionsactions, or disruptions on our global supply chain as a result of large scale public health restrictions or geopolitical factors, which we have experienced, and may in the future experience;

Reworded

We may need to change our pricing model from time to time. As the market for our platform matures, or as competitors introduce new solutions that compete with ours, we may be unable to attract new customers at the same prices or based on the same pricing models that we have used historically. Our assessments of competitive pricing may not be accurate and we could be underpricing or overpricing our platform and services. Further, in the past we concentrated on selling the hardware needed for customers to run dedicated systems. We have now transitioned from selling systems to selling cloud services and have added professional services as well. Our limited history of selling cloud and professional services means we do not have long-term market data on the optimal method of pricing our services and maximizing the opportunities they represent. If we do not implement a services-based business well, our financial results may suffer. In addition, if the offerings on our platform or our services change, we may need to revise our pricing strategies. Any such changes to our pricing strategies or our ability to efficiently price our offerings could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, as we continue to expand internationally, we also must determine the appropriate pricing strategy to enable us to compete effectively internationally. Pricing pressures and decisions could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, losses or the failure of our platform to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could negatively impact our overall business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, larger organizations, which are a primary focus of our direct sales efforts, may demand substantial price concessions. As a result, we may be required to price below our targets in the future, which could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.

Reworded

The quantum computing industry is in its early stages and is volatile, and if it does not develop, if it develops slower than we expect, if it develops in a manner that does not require use of our products and services, if it encounters negative publicity or if our solutionsolutions doesdo not drive commercial engagement, the growth of our business will be harmed.

Reworded

WeInitially, havewe focused our efforts on the optimization market with our annealing quantum computers, and in the near term expect our business to grow from this market. If optimization does not require quantum computing or if other classical or quantum solutions perform better than our products and services, we could see a decrease in customer uptake and revenue.

Reworded

In addition, our growth and future demand for our products is highly dependent upon the adoption by developers and customers of quantum computing, as well as on our ability to demonstrate the value of quantum computing to our customers. Delays in future generations of our quantum computers or technical failures at other quantum computing companies could limit market acceptance of our solution.solutions. Negative publicity concerning our solutionsolutions or the quantum computing industry as a whole could limit market acceptance of our solution.solutions. While we believe quantum computing will solve many large-scale problems, we do not yet have evidence that quantum computers will be able to do so and such problems may never be solvable by quantum computing technology. If our customers do not perceive the benefits of our solution,solutions, or if our solutionsolutions doesdo not drive customer engagement, then our market may not develop at all, or it may develop more slowly than we expect. If any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If progress towards “quantum advantage” (as described below) slows relative to expectations, it could adversely impact revenues and customer confidence to continue to pay for testing, access and “quantum readiness.” This would harm or even eliminate revenues in the period before quantum advantage.

Reworded

If our products andor services fail to deliver customer value to a broader range of customers than classical approaches, our business, financial condition and future prospects may be harmed.

Reworded

“Quantum advantage” refers to the moment when a quantum computer can compute faster than existing classical computers, while quantum supremacy is achieved once quantum computers are powerful enough to complete calculations that traditional supercomputers cannot perform at all. Broad quantum advantage is when quantum advantage is seen in many applications and developers prefer quantum computers to a traditional computer. No current quantum computers, including the D-Wave quantum hardware, have reached a broad quantum advantage, and they may never reach such advantage. Achieving a broad quantum advantage will be critical to the success of any quantum computing company, including us. However, achieving quantum advantage would not necessarily lead to commercial viability of the technology that accomplished such advantage, nor would it mean that such system could outperform classical computers in tasks other than the one used to determine a quantum advantage. Other companies, including some of our customers, are working on classical approaches that target similar use cases, increasing competition and risk of not capturing market share. As quantum computing technology continues to mature, broad quantum advantage may take decades to be realized, if ever. If we cannot develop quantum computers that have quantum advantage, customers may not continue to purchase our products and services. If customers decide to wait until broad quantum advantage is reached, this could impair the growth of our business. If other companies’ quantum computers reach a broad quantum advantage prior to the time ours reachesreach such capabilities, it could lead to a loss of customers. If any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. This is also true for our quantum-hybrid solvers in that they must also continue to deliver value compared to classical approaches.

Reworded

The hardware and software underlying our platform and products is highly technical and complex. Our hardware and software have previously contained, and may now or in the future contain, undetected errors, bugs or vulnerabilities. In addition, errors, failures and bugs may be contained in our software utilized in building and operating our products or may result from errors in the deployment or configuration of QCaaS software. Some errors in our products may only be discovered after a product has been deployed or may never be generally known. In some instances, despite internal testing, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these problems or risks within an acceptable period of time. Any errors, bugs or vulnerabilities discovered in our products after it has been deployed,deployment, or never generally discovered, could result in interruptions in platform availability, product malfunctioning or data breaches. Since our customers may use our services for processes that are critical to their businesses, errors,errors and defects, security vulnerability, service interruptions or software bugs in our platform could result in losses to our customers and thereby result in damage to our reputation, adverse effects upon customers and users, loss of customers and relationships with third parties, significant expenditures of capital, a delay or loss in market acceptance, loss of revenue or liability for damages. In addition, provisions typically included in our agreements with our customers that attempt to limit our exposure to claims may not be enforceable or adequate and may not otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim. Even if not successful, a claim brought against us by any of our customers would likely be time-consuming and costly to defend and could seriously damage our reputation and brand, making it harder for us to sell our solutions and retain our customers.

Reworded

A key application of our quantum annealing technology is for optimization problems which, while a very broad market, requires continued research and development in order for our products and services to fully address the optimization market, and if that research and development is not successful this may limit its adoption to a narrow range of customers. If we cannot successfully attract a broader range of customers to our quantum annealing technology, our business will be negatively impacted and could fail.

Reworded

In addition, our planned quantumsuperconducting gategate-model system, which is a strategic milestone for our technical roadmap and commercialization, is not yet available for customers and may not become available on the timelines we expect or at all.

Reworded

Our operations rely on information technology systems for the use, storage and transmission of sensitive and confidential information with respect to our customers, our customers’ customers, our employees and other third parties. Cyberattacks and other malicious internet-based activity continue to increase, and cloud-based platform providers of products and services have been and are expected to continue to be targeted. Sophisticated hackers and cybercriminals, including,including nation-state and nation-state supported actors, employ advanced techniques, including social engineering (phishing), automated attacks (such as denial-of-service attacks), malicious code (such as viruses and worms), ransomware, and employee theft or misuse, which may evade detection for extended periods. In addition to our own security measures, due to our use of third-party cloud infrastructure, we depend in part on third-party security measures to protect against cybersecurity-related attacks. Despite efforts to create security barriers to such threats, it is not feasible, as a practical matter, for us to entirely mitigate these risks, as the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or compromise of our systems change frequently. A breach of our networks, or those of our service providers or vendors, could result in unauthorized access to, use of, loss of, or unauthorized disclosure of, sensitive and confidential information, including personal information of customers or employees, and disruption of business operations. Such incidents could materially adversely affect our business through impaired customer relationships, loss of sales and customers, potential fines and lawsuits, significant legal and remediation costs, and damage to our brand.

Added

Our use of generative AI tools may introduce security, privacy, intellectual property, and operational risks that could adversely affect our business.

Added

We use, and expect to continue using, generative AI tools primarily to support internal productivity and development activities.

Added

Generative AI technologies are evolving rapidly, and while they offer efficiency benefits, they may also generate output that appears accurate but is incomplete, misleading, or incorrect, which could introduce downstream security or operational risks. Our use of third-party generative AI tools may also present security, privacy, and operational risks, including limited visibility into training data sources, model behavior, vendor controls, and the potential introduction of defects or security vulnerabilities through AI-generated outputs.

Added

We use generative AI tools in limited and controlled contexts and prohibit the use of AI technologies in areas that we deem to create high risks that cannot be mitigated related to cybersecurity, confidentiality, privacy, intellectual property, legal compliance, and/or ethical standards. In addition, we employ practices designed to evaluate, track, and mitigate the risks associated with the use of generative AI. However, such controls, prohibitions and measures cannot provide absolute security and may not prevent or mitigate all of the evolving risks presented by the use of generative AI that could adversely affect our business, operations or reputation.

Added

Our future growth and success depends in part on our ability to sell our products and services effectively to U.S. and international government entities.

Added

U.S. and international governments have demonstrated increasing interest in building quantum applications. In December 2025, we announced the formation of a new business unit dedicated to driving the adoption of our quantum computing products and services with the U.S. government, and we also plan to pursue further sales to international governments. Our future growth and success will depend in part on our ability to effectively sell our products and services to additional domestic and international government entities.

Added

As described further under "—Contracts with government entities subject us to risks, including early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions and penalties" below, contracts with U.S. and international government entities are subject to a number of challenges and risks. Sales to government customers involve risks that are present to a lesser extent in sales to commercial customers, such as: (i) increased purchasing power and leverage held by government customers in negotiating contractual arrangements with us and (ii) longer sales cycles and the associated risk that substantial time and resources may be spent on a potential government customer that elects not to purchase our products or services. We also must comply with both U.S. and international laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration, and performance of contracts with government entities.

Added

In addition, other parties’ perceptions of our relationship with the U.S. government could adversely affect our business prospects in certain non-U.S. geographies or with certain non-U.S. governments. Conversely, other parties’ perceptions of our relationship with non-U.S. governments or government entities could adversely affect our business prospects with the U.S. government.

Added

Accordingly, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed by numerous factors associated with doing business with government customers, such as:

Added

•government spending changes or constraints, such as shifting priorities due to the results of elections or economic uncertainty;

Added

•delays in program activities or contracting due to government shutdowns, partial shutdowns, or changing funding timelines;

Added

•changes in U.S. federal or other governmental compliance requirements;

Added

•influence by, or competition from, third parties with respect to pending, new, or existing contracts with government customers; and

Added

•increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays caused by other factors outside of our control.

Added

Any such event or activity could cause government customers or potential government customers to delay or refrain from entering into contracts with us or purchasing our products or services in the future, reduce the size or timing of payment with respect to our services to or purchases from existing or new government customers, or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects.

Added

As part of our business strategy, we have entered into and may enter into additional contracts with U.S. federal and state, and international, government entities, which subjects our business to the statutes and regulations applicable to companies doing business with each such government entity.

Reworded

As part of our business strategy, we have entered into and may enter into additional contracts with state and/or federal government entities, which subjects our business to statutes and regulations applicable to companies doing business with the government, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation. These governmentGovernment contracts customarily contain provisions that give the government substantial rights and remedies, many of which are not typically found in commercial contracts and which are unfavorable to contractors.contracts. For instance, most U.S. government agencies include provisions that allow the government to unilaterally terminate or modify contracts for convenience, and in that event, the counterparty to the contract may generally recover only its incurred or committed costs and settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the government terminates a contract for default, the defaulting party may be liable for any extra costs incurred by the government in procuring undelivered items from another source.

Added

In addition, government contracts normally contain additional requirements that may increase our costs of doing business, reduce our profits, and expose us to liability for failure to comply with these terms and conditions. For example, the U.S. Department of Defense requires contractors to comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a framework implemented to ensure that all parties in the defense supply chain maintain adequate cybersecurity practices, and the U.S. federal government requires any cloud service provider handling federal data to meet stringent data security and protection requirements under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), and may also mandate the application of government pricing models and provisions, such as "most favored nation" status. Additional requirements could include, for example, specialized disclosure, accounting, financial, compliance and audit requirements; certain rights to inventions, data, software codes and related material developed under government-funded contracts and subcontracts, which may permit the government to disclose or license this information to third parties; public disclosures of certain contract and company information; and mandatory socioeconomic compliance requirements.

Removed

In addition, government contracts normally contain additional requirements that may increase our costs of doing business, reduce our profits, and expose us to liability for failure to comply with these terms and conditions. These requirements could include, for example:

Removed

•specialized disclosure and accounting requirements unique to government contracts;

Removed

•financial and compliance audits of our cost structure, accounting controls and procedures and adequacy of our policies and systems to meet Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements. These audits may result in potential liability for price adjustments, recoupment of government funds after such funds have been spent, civil and criminal penalties, or administrative sanctions such as suspension or debarment from doing business with the U.S. government;

Removed

•granting the U.S. government certain rights to inventions, data, software codes and related material that we develop under government-funded contracts and subcontracts, which may permit the U.S. government to disclose or license this information to third parties, including, in some instances, our competitors;

Removed

•requirements to fulfill government contracts assigned ratings under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System Program ahead of our commercial contracts, which could prevent us from meeting our commercial customer contracts' requirements or schedules;

Removed

•public disclosures of certain contract and company information;

Removed

•mandatory security and privacy framework compliance requirements, including the handling of controlled unclassified information; and

Removed

•mandatory socioeconomic compliance requirements, including labor requirements, non discrimination and affirmative action programs and environmental compliance requirements.

Reworded

Government contracts are also generally subject to greater scrutiny by the government than commercial contracts are by commercial customers. For example, in the United States, government agencies can initiate reviews, audits and investigations regarding our compliance with government contract requirements. In addition, if we fail to comply with government contracting laws, regulations and contract requirements, our contracts may be subject to termination, and we may be subject to financial and/or other liability under our contracts, the Federal Civil False Claims Act (including treble damages and other penalties), or criminal law. In particular, the False Claims Act's "whistleblower" provisions also allow private individuals, including present and former employees, to sue on behalf of the U.S. government. Any penalties, fines, suspension, or damages could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. Responding to any investigation or action relating to government contracts could result in a significant diversion of management's attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees. Similar procurement, budgetary, contract, and audit risks may also apply to our doing business with international government entities.

Reworded

Our customers also include non-U.S. governments. Similar procurement, budgetary, contract, and audit risks that apply in the context of U.S. government contracting may also apply to our doing business with these entities. In addition, compliance with complex regulations and contracting provisions in a variety of jurisdictions can be expensive and consume significant management resources.

Reworded

We may be unsuccessful in navigating such risks, which could have a material adverse impact on our business operations, financial results and growth plans. In addition, the implementation of more restrictive trade policies, including the recent imposition of further tariffs in the U.S. and retaliatory tariffs in response thereto, or the renegotiation of existing international trade agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial results and growth plans.

Reworded

If we engage in additional acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments or strategic partnerships and fail to achieve favorable results, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

We are focused on the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services. We are the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, and the first to offer dual-platform quantum computing products and services, spanning both annealing and gate-model quantum computing technologies. Our superconducting quantum computers provide sub-second response times and can be deployed on-premises or accessed through our Leap quantum cloud service, which offers 99.9% availability and uptime. Customers apply our technology to address use cases spanning optimization, artificial intelligence, research and more. Our current sixth-generation annealing quantum computing system is named Advantage2.

Removed

We are a commercial quantum computing company that provides customers with a full suite of professional services and web-based access to our superconducting quantum computer systems and integrated software environment through our LeapTM quantum cloud service. Historically, we have developed our own annealing superconducting quantum computer and associated software, and our current generation quantum system is the D-Wave AdvantageTM system. We are a leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software and services, and we are the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers—and the only company developing both annealing quantum computers and gate-model quantum computers.

Our business model is focused primarily on generating revenue from providing customers access to our quantum computing systems via the cloud in the form of quantum computing as a service ("QCaaS") products, and from providing professional services wherein we assist our customers in identifying and implementing quantum computing applications.applications, as well as selling our quantum computer systems to customers. We have threefour operating facilities, which we lease, in North America. These facilities are located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Richmond, British Columbia, Palo Alto, California, and New Haven, Connecticut. In addition, we plan to transition our corporate headquarters before the end of 2026 from Palo Alto, California.California to Boca Raton, Florida, and open a key U.S. R&D facility in Boca Raton, Florida under a new lease agreement.

During the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, we generated revenue totaling $8.8$24.6 million and $8.8 million, respectively. We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, our operating losses were $100.4 million and $77.2 million, respectively, and our net losses were $143.9$355.1 million and $82.7$143.9 million, respectively. The differences between operating and net losses were principally due to $270.5 million and $68.2 million, respectively, of mark-to-market charges related to the value of our publicly traded warrants. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in a number of research and development programs as well as a variety of go-to-market initiatives. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $626.9$982.0 million.

We currently generate our revenue primarily through subscription sales to access our QCaaS cloud platform andplatform, professional services related to the development and implementation of quantum computing applications and delivery of quantum computing application training. The Company also sells its superconducting annealing quantum computer systems to customers. QCaaS revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term, which generally ranges from one month to two years. Professional services revenue is recognized over time on a percentage of completion basis using the costs incurred input measure of progress.

Added

Revenue from quantum computing system sales is recognized over time during the installation period using an input method, with progress measured based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs, as the Company concludes that the criteria for over-time revenue recognition under ASC 606 are met. Revenue from system upgrade projects is also recognized over time using an input method, measuring progress based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. This approach is applied to system sales and upgrade projects that span multiple reporting periods and meet the criteria for over-time revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606. Both revenue from quantum computing system sales and revenue from system upgrade projects are classified within system sales in our financial statements.

Added

While we expect that QCaaS revenue would increase both in dollar terms and as a share of total revenue (excluding system sales), as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, professional services revenue has grown more rapidly—both in dollar terms and as a share of total revenue (excluding system sales). This increase reflects our continued efforts to promote our QCaaS cloud platform by supporting customers through the development and deployment of quantum applications. Customers often engage with our professional service team to gain the knowledge and support needed to effectively use our QCaaS cloud platform. We continue to view professional services as a strategic enabler for long-term QCaaS growth. Meanwhile, quantum computing system revenue may impact our overall product mix in periods when recognized, although this revenue is expected to remain irregular and intermittent.

Removed

Revenue from quantum computing system is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer, typically upon delivery or installation, based on the terms of the sales contract.

Removed

We expect that QCaaS revenue, as a percentage of total revenue, will increase due to an increasing number of QCaaS agreements being driven by the completion of professional services engagements yielding production applications that require QCaaS services, as well as by customers that choose to access our LeapTM cloud service without utilizing our professional services organization. However, quantum computing system revenue may have an outsized impact on our revenue and shift our product mix during the period when such revenue is recognized, though this revenue is expected to be irregular and intermittent.

Reworded

Cost of revenue for quantum computing systems includes direct manufacturing costs, such as materials and labor for system production, as well as expenses related to installation, warranty,maintenance, and support. Additionally, it includes shipping and handling costs associated with delivering the systems. These costs are also expensed as incurred.

Reworded

We expect our total cost of revenue to trend upward in absolute dollars in future periods, corresponding to our anticipated growth in revenue and the higher costs that are necessary to support our customers, maintain the QCaaS cloud offering, operate our quantum computing systems, and deliver our professional services. WeOver the long term, as QCaaS becomes a larger component of our revenue mix, we expect ourgross cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenuemargin to trendimprove, downwardreflecting overthe timelower duedelivery to a higher mixcosts of QCaaS revenue that has a lower cost to deliver comparedrelative to professional service revenue.services.

We expect our research and development expenses will trend upward on an absolute dollar basis for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development efforts to enhance the performance of our annealing quantum computers, tofurther complete the development ofdevelop our gate modelgate-model quantum computer, advance our superconducting bump bond process, upgrade our printed circuit board packaging manufacturing, and to broaden the functionality,functionality and improve the reliability, availability and scalability of our QCaaS cloud platform. If in the future we receive government grants and research incentives, which have historically offset a portion of research and development costs, these costs could decrease in absolute dollars. Also, non-cash share basedstock-based compensation expenses may cause upward and downward fluctuations in these costs from time to time.

Reworded

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in more comprehensive compliance and governance functions, increased IT security and compliance, and expanded internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.Act. However, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses may cause upward and downward fluctuations in these costs from time to time.

The critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgementsjudgments we believe to have the most significant impact on our audited annual consolidated financial statements are described below.

When we determine that our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, for these arrangements, we allocate the transaction price based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) method by comparing the SSP of each distinct performance obligation to the total value of the contract. We use the SSP for products and services sold together in a contract to determine whether there is variable consideration (e.g. discount) to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we don'tdo not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP by considering overall pricing objectives and market conditions, including cost plus a reasonable margin. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include our discounting practices, the customer demographic, price lists, our go-to-market strategy, historical and current sales and contract prices. In instances where we do not sell or price a product or service separately, we maximize the use of observable inputs by using information that may include market conditions.

On November 20, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the Canada Strategic Innovation Fund ("SIF"), wherein SIF committed to providing a conditionally repayable loan to the Company in the amount of up to C$40.0 million ("the "SIF Loan"). The SIF Loan is conditionally repayable according to a revenue-based formula. See Note 78 - Loans payable, net to the accompanyingaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information concerning the SIF Loan.

Reworded

The accounting treatment for the SIF Loan considers the "sale of future revenues" guidance outlined in ASC 470-10-25. The debt arising from the SIF Loan was recorded at face value and will be amortized using the effective interest method, leading to the accrual of interest expenses over the estimated term of the SIF Loan. The amortization schedule is based on projected cash flows derived from the Company's long-term revenue forecast. Subsequent changes in forecasted cash flows will be accounted for under the catch-up method, which entails adjusting the accrued interest portion of the principal balance through earnings to reflect the effective interest rate. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized gains related to catch-up method adjustments to the accrued interest portion of the loans payable, net balance of $0.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The liability is classified as non-current, as the current forecast indicates that repayments will not commence within the 12 months following the balance sheet date.

In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.standards, Therefore, as an emerging growth company we can delaydelaying the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We havequalified as an emerging growth company from October 2022 through December 31, 2025, and irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and,during asthat time period. As a result, from October 2022 through December 31, 2025, we willdid not adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards iswas required for other public companies. In addition, as an emerging growth company,company from October 2022 through December 31, 2025, we maywere permitted to take advantage ofof, and availed ourselves of, certain reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. D-Wave Quantum will take advantage of these exemptions until such time that it is no longer an emerging growth company. D-Wave Quantum will cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which its total annual gross revenue is equal to or more than $1.235 billion; (iii) the date on which it has issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

Added

We ceased to qualify as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2025, because the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective Securities Act registration statement applicable to us occurred in October 2025. Although we will continue to be deemed a "non-accelerated filer" for SEC filings due in 2026, and therefore exempt from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are no longer able to take advantage of various exemptions from reporting requirements that are available to emerging growth companies.

ThereExcept as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.2026:

Added

The following risk factor is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Added

If we are unable for any reason to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such action or inaction could result in a delisting of our Common Shares.

Added

From August 5, 2022 through July 24, 2026, our Common Shares were listed on the NYSE. In July 2026, we voluntarily transferred the listing and trading of our Common Shares from the NYSE to Nasdaq, retaining the ticker symbol “QBTS”. The listing and trading of our Common Shares on the NYSE ended as of market close on July 24, 2026 and trading of our Common Shares on Nasdaq began at market open on July 27, 2026.

Added

We were notified by the NYSE on three occasions, most recently in October 2024, that we were not in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing requirements because the average closing price of our Common Shares was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. Such notices had no immediate impact on the listing of our Common Shares, which continued to be listed and traded on the NYSE and on each occasion we regained compliance with the NYSE listing requirements during the period allowed to regain compliance.

Added

Following the transfer of the listing of our Common Shares to Nasdaq, we are subject to similar Nasdaq continued listing requirements. If we cannot remain in compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, or cannot regain compliance if we become non-compliant in the future, our Common Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq. The delisting of our Common Shares from Nasdaq would likely make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms in the future, would likely have a negative effect on the price of our securities and would impair our stockholders' ability to sell or purchase our securities when they wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, actions taken by us to restore compliance with listing requirements may not allow our securities to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities, prevent such securities from dropping below any minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements.

Revenue from quantum computing system sales and system upgrade projects is recognized over time during the installation or upgrade period using an input method, with progress measured based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs, a percentage-of-completion approach, as the Company concludesconcluded that the criteria for over-time revenue recognition under ASC 606 are met. Revenue from system upgrade projects is also recognized over time using an input method, measuring progress based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. This approach is applied to system sales and upgrade projects that span multiple reporting periods and meet the criteria for over-time revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606. Both revenue from quantum computing system sales and revenue from system upgrade projects are classified within system sales in our financial statements.

We expect our total cost of revenue to trend upward in absolute dollars in future periods, corresponding to our anticipated growth in revenue and the higher costs that are necessary to support our customers, maintain the Leap service, install and operate our quantum computing systems, and deliver our professional services. Over the long term, we expect QCaaS to become a larger component of our revenue mix and gross margin to improve, reflecting the lower delivery costs of QCaaS relative to professional services. In addition, our revenue mix may also shift toward quantum computing system sales in certain periods. As a result, gross margins may fluctuate depending on the relative contribution of QCaaS, system sales, and professional services in a given period.

Reworded

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel, direct advertising, marketing and promotional material costs, sales commission expense, consulting fees and allocated facility costs for our sales and marketing functions. We intend to continue to make significant investments in our sales and marketing organization to drive additional revenue, expand our global customer base, and broaden our brand awareness. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future. However, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses may cause upward and downward fluctuations in these costs from time to time.
