D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS) reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $3.74 million, doubling year over year and beating analyst estimates. Despite widening GAAP losses, the company’s cash balance surged after warrant exercises, significantly extending its near-term financial runway on Nov. 6, 2025.
Revenue Growth and Profitability
D-Wave’s third-quarter revenue rose 100% from $1.87 million a year earlier, with gross profit increasing 156% to $2.67 million. The company said gross margin expanded meaningfully but did not disclose the exact figure. GAAP net loss widened sharply to $140 million from $22.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted net loss was $18.1 million, while operating loss grew 34% to $27.7 million. The company did not provide a detailed breakdown of cash versus non-cash components affecting the GAAP results.
Cash Position and Commercial Momentum
Cash reserves climbed to $836 million as of Sept. 30, 2025, a 2,757% increase year over year, driven mainly by warrant exercises. This capital inflow boosted liquidity but also created non-cash accounting charges that contributed to the GAAP loss. Management said the larger cash balance materially improved the company’s near-term financing profile.
Bookings reached $2.4 million for the quarter, up 80% sequentially, reflecting growing customer commitments. The company also disclosed a major €10 million contract to supply a quantum facility in Lombardy, Italy, signaling expansion in Europe. D-Wave did not provide formal financial guidance for the fourth quarter or full-year 2025. Analyst estimates project Q4 revenue of $3.5 million and full-year sales of $25.04 million, with an estimated per-share loss of $0.23.
CEO Alan Baratz said, “Our strong third quarter results reflect the momentum we see building across every aspect of our business, with key metrics, including revenue, gross profit, bookings and cash balance, clearly indicating D-Wave's success in accelerating.”
The quarter combined a clear revenue beat and a transformed cash position with ongoing operating losses, leaving investors to assess whether commercial traction and the larger cash cushion will offset continued cash burn.
