    • we had 73 commercial customers compared to 76 commercial customers, including nearly two dozen Forbes Global 2000 companies.
  • Customers: Over the last four quarters, we had a total of 123 revenue producing customers compared with 121 revenue producing customers in the immediately preceding four quarters, with total customers including commercial, educational and government accounts.
  • GAAP Gross Profit: GAAP Gross Profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.5 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 47%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2022 GAAP Gross Profit of $1.0 million, and an increase of $0.8 million, or 117%, from the immediately preceding fiscal 2023 second quarter GAAP Gross Profit of $0.7 million with the increase due primarily to the growth in revenue.
  • GAAP Gross Margin: GAAP Gross Margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 59.7%, representing the second consecutive quarter of sequential quarter-to-quarter improvement in GAAP Gross Margins due primarily to the growth in revenue. The 59.7% GAAP Gross Margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 1.7% lower than the 61.4% GAAP Gross Margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 with the decrease due entirely to higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 cost of sales.
  • Non-GAAP Gross Profit3: Non-GAAP Gross Profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.9 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 72%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2022 Non-GAAP Gross Profit of $1.1 million, and an increase of $0.9 million, or 95%, from the immediately preceding fiscal 2023 second quarter Non-GAAP Gross Profit of $1.0 million with the increase due primarily to higher revenue. The difference between GAAP and Non-GAAP Gross Profit is limited to non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation expenses that are excluded from the Non-GAAP Gross Profit.
  • Non-GAAP Gross Margin3: Non-GAAP Gross Margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 75.6%, an increase of 9.2% from the third quarter of fiscal 2022 Non-GAAP Gross Margin of 66.4% and an increase of 17.5% from the immediately preceding fiscal 2023 second quarter Non-GAAP Gross Margin of 58.1% with the increase due primarily to higher Revenue.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2023, D-Wave’s consolidated cash balance totaled $53.3 million, an increase of $45.8 million, or 610%, from the $7.5 million consolidated cash balance at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal 2023 second quarter ended June 30, 2023. The $53.3 million cash balance represents the Company’s largest quarter-end cash balance in its history.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, D-Wave raised over $94.0 million in debt and equity including $63.5 million in equity, primarily from the Company’s common stock purchase agreement (“Equity Line of Credit” or “ELOC”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), and $30.5 million in debt, primarily with PSPIB Unitas Investments II Inc., an affiliate of PSP Investments.

As previously disclosed, on June 16, 2022, D-Wave entered into the ELOC with Lincoln Park wherein the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell up to $150 million of shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park, subject to certain limitations and satisfaction of certain conditions, over a 3-year period. As of September 30, 2023, D-Wave has $84.4 million in remaining capacity under the ELOC with just over two years remaining under the Lincoln Park ELOC commitment. D-Wave’s ability to raise funds under the ELOC is subject to a number of conditions including having a sufficient number of registered shares and having D-Wave’s stock price above $1.00 per share.

As previously disclosed, on April 13, 2023, D-Wave entered into a $50 million four-year term loan agreement (the “PSP Loan”) with PSPIB Unitas Investments II Inc., an affiliate of PSP Investments. The loan agreement is comprised of three individual tranches of $15 million, $15 million, and $20 million respectively and, to date, D-Wave has drawn the first two tranches totaling $30 million. However, the issuance of the third tranche is subject to certain conditions and, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the conditions necessary to draw on the third tranche.

Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook

Based on the information available on November 8, 2023, guidance for the full year 2023 is as follows and our guidance is subject to various cautionary factors described below:

Revenue

  • We expect fiscal 2023 revenue to be in a range of $10 million to $11.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA Loss

  • We expect fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA Loss[4] to be less than $56 million.

1“Bookings” is an operating metric that is defined as customer orders received that are expected to generate net revenues in the future. We present the operational metric of bookings because it reflects customers' demand for our products and services and to assist readers in analyzing our potential performance in future periods.

2“Average Deal Size” is an operating metric that is defined as the average dollar amount per booking.

3“Non-GAAP Gross Profit”, “Non-GAAP Gross Margin”, “Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses”, and “Adjusted EBITDA Loss”, are non-GAAP financial measures or metrics. Please see the discussion in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations included at the end of this press release.

4We are not able to reconcile guidance for Adjusted EBITDA Loss to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, Net Loss, and cannot provide an estimated range of net loss for such period without unreasonable efforts because certain items that impact Net Loss, including foreign exchange and the fair value of warrant liabilities, are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Third Quarter 2023 Conference Call

In conjunction with this announcement, D-Wave will host a conference call on Thursday, November 9, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), to discuss the Company’s financial results and business outlook. The live dial-in number is 1-800-908-9179 (domestic) or 1-312-281-1211 (international). Participating in the call on behalf of the Company will be Chief Executive Officer Alan Baratz and Chief Financial Officer John Markovich.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. Each of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses is a financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that each measure provides investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of such results period over period. The Company defines each of its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

  • Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as GAAP Gross Profit less non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use non-GAAP gross profit to measure, understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as GAAP Gross Margin less non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use non-GAAP gross margin to measure understand and evaluate our core business performance.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, remeasurements of liability-classified warrants, and other non-recurring non-operating income and expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business, excluding specifically identified items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses before depreciation and amortization expense, non-recurring one-time expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses to measure our operating expenses, excluding items we do not believe directly reflect our core operations.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our presentation of non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the reconciliations below.
