D-Wave Quantum Inc. has unveiled its Q4 and full-year 2024 financial results, showcasing impressive revenue growth, strategic customer expansion, and groundbreaking advancements in quantum computing technology.
Financial Performance Highlights
D-Wave reported significant financial milestones in Q4 2024, with a notable increase in revenue compared to Q3 2024 and Q4 2023. The company also strengthened its financial position by raising substantial funds through At-The-Market (ATM) and Equity Line of Credit (ELOC) programs. In Q4 2024 alone, D-Wave secured $161.3 million, followed by an additional $146.2 million in early 2025. As of mid-March 2025, the company’s cash reserves exceed $300 million, ensuring a robust financial foundation for continued innovation and expansion.
Expanding Customer Base and Market Adoption
D-Wave has successfully extended its reach among global enterprises, with 28 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies utilizing its quantum solutions in 2024. In total, D-Wave served 76 commercial customers and 59 research institutions and government entities, bringing the total customer count to 135 for the year.
Strong Outlook for Q1 2025
Looking ahead, D-Wave anticipates Q1 2025 revenue exceeding $10 million, driven in part by the sale of an Advantage annealing quantum computer. This promising outlook underscores the company’s continued momentum in commercializing quantum computing technologies.
Quantum Supremacy and Breakthrough Innovations
D-Wave achieved a historic milestone in quantum computing, demonstrating quantum computational supremacy by solving a complex materials simulation problem faster and more efficiently than a classical supercomputer. This breakthrough was accomplished using the Advantage2 annealing quantum computer prototype.
In a landmark move, D-Wave introduced an on-premises quantum computing system, with the Julich Supercomputing Centre becoming the first high-performance computing center to integrate a D-Wave Advantage system with Europe’s exascale JUPITER supercomputer. This integration is poised to drive advancements in artificial intelligence and quantum optimization.
