IonQ Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

First Quarter Results of $7.6 Million in Revenue, Exceeding High End of Guidance Range, Representing 77% Year-Over-Year Growth

Sales Pipeline Expanding in Deal Size and Volume with Improving Visibility

Bookings Backloaded, Raises Bookings Guidance Range to $75 to $95 Million for 2024

Hired Stacey Giamalis as Chief Legal Officer, Dr. Martin Roetteler as Head of Quantum Applications

IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“We kicked the year off with strong revenue results, once again outperforming the high end of our guidance range,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO of IonQ. “I am also pleased to announce that our sales pipeline is expanding significantly in deal size and volume and increasing in timing visibility, allowing us to raise our full year bookings guidance.”

“The first quarter also saw several institutions, both public and private, use the power of our quantum computers to explore new projects. The start of the year also saw Oak Ridge National Labs, a returning client, begin research on a use case around energy schedule optimization for the United States national power grid. We believe we will continue to see new use cases unfold as our technology approaches commercial advantage.”

Financial Highlights

  • IonQ recognized revenue of $7.6 million for the first quarter, which is above the high end of the previously provided range of $6.5 to $7.5 million, and represents 77% growth compared to $4.3 million in the prior year.
  • IonQ achieved $0.3 million in new bookings for the first quarter.
  • Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $434.4 million as of March 31, 2024.
  • Net loss was $39.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA loss was $27.0 million for the first quarter.* Exclusions from Adjusted EBITDA include a non-cash gain of $8.6 million related to the change in the fair value of IonQ’s warrant liabilities.

*Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and is reconciled to net loss, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement IonQ’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, IonQ uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that this measure provides investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of the Company’s results period over period. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest income, net, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of assumed warrant liabilities, and other non-recurring non-operating income and expenses. IonQ uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its business, excluding specifically identified items that it does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of recurring 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 IonQ’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. For IonQ’s investors to be better able to compare the Company’s current results with those of previous periods, IonQ shows a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.
