( “ QCi ” or the “ Company ” ) ( Nasdaq : QUBT ) , a vertically integrated quantum company pioneering photonics and semiconductor manufacturing , today released financial results for the three months ended June 30 , 2026 . Dr. Yuping Huang , Chief Executive Officer of QCi , commented , “ During the second quarter , we continued to execute on our strategy of making our quantum products smaller , more practical and more accessible . Our room - temperature photonic architecture continues to differentiate QCi by providing a pathway to practical quantum systems with significantly lower complexity , cost and power requirements than competing approaches . At the same time , we are expanding the capabilities of fast prototyping and volume production that not only support our future quantum roadmap but also address growing commercial markets today . - " With the acquisition of NHanced Semiconductors , Inc. ( " NHanced " ) - our third acquisition this year we launched Fab 2 ahead of schedule , significantly expanding our advanced packaging and semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and accelerating our transition toward scalable , cost - effective production of miniaturized nanophotonic quantum technologies . During the quarter , we also brought NeuraWave , our next - generation photonic reservoir computing platform , to commercial readiness , and subsequently entered into a framework agreement with Planck Dynamics . This agreement supports the deployment of our NeuraWave systems for next - generation AI applications , providing strong market validation of our photonic computing technology . " In addition , we successfully delivered and installed our Dirac - 3 quantum optimization machine at a leading global consulting firm for use with its enterprise customers on complex optimization applications , including portfolio optimization . This deployment represents another important commercial milestone for QCi and demonstrates growing market demand for practical quantum optimization solutions . " We also received a purchase order from a world - leading university for our quantum secure communications system . This order represents continued commercial traction for our quantum communications portfolio and further recognition of our technology by a premier research institution . " Supported by a strong balance sheet , we remain well positioned to continue integrating our recent acquisitions , expand our commercial and government customer base and invest in the technologies and manufacturing capabilities that support both our commercial businesses and our long - term quantum roadmap . As we look to the second half of 2026 , we stay focused on executing our roadmap and delivering on our mission of putting quantum into the hands of everybody . "

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights ● Second quarter 2026 revenues totaled $5.6 million compared to $61 thousand in the second quarter of 2025, and $3.7 million in the first quarter of this year. Second quarter revenue was generated across QCi’s integrated portfolio of quantum and photonics technologies, products and services, serving a diverse range of government, educational, and commercial customers. Revenue was primarily driven by sales of photonics products that support QCi’s quantum technology roadmap while also addressing a broad range of existing aerospace, government and industrial applications. ● Operating expenses totaled $21.8 million compared to $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, up 114%. The year-over-year increase was largely due to higher headcount and related payroll costs for research and development efforts, sales and marketing, and acquisition-related transaction expenses of $7.3 million. ● Interest and other income totaled $13 million compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was due to interest income generated from the Company’s larger cash and investment positions. ● The Company reported a net loss of $11.8 million, or a loss of $0.05 per basic share for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $36.5 million or a loss of $0.26 per basic share, for the prior year period. The main reasons for the decrease in net loss were the change in fair value of a derivative liability, and higher revenue and interest income. In the second quarter of 2025 the Company realized a $28 million non-cash loss on the mark-to-market valuation of the Company’s warrant derivative liability, compared with a mark-to-market loss of only $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2026. As we have previously disclosed, the derivative liability is related to the merger with QPhoton in June 2022 and warrants issued with that transaction. ● Total assets as of June 30, 2026 were approximately $1.6 billion, relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2025. Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled approximately $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to approximately $1.5 billion at year-end 2025. The cash balance reported at the end of the second quarter reflects our acquisitions of Luminar Semiconductor, Inc., NuCrypt, and NHanced Semiconductors, for which we used approximately $180 million in cash, including transaction expenses. ● Total liabilities as of June 30, 2026 were $47.2 million, an increase of $26.5 million compared to year-end 2025. ● As of June 30, 2026, the Company had stockholders’ equity totaling $1.6 billion. ● As of June 30, 2026, contract backlog was approximately $42.5 million. Second Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights ● Sold and Delivered Dirac-3 Quantum Optimization System: During June, QCi successfully sold, delivered and installed its Dirac- 3 quantum optimization machine at a leading global consulting firm. The Dirac-3 system will support enterprise customers on complex optimization applications, including portfolio optimization. This represents an important commercial milestone for QCi’s quantum optimization business. ● Achieved Deployment-Ready NeuraWave: During the second quarter, QCi announced that NeuraWave, its next-generation photonic reservoir computing platform, reached deployment readiness. NeuraWave combines photonic and digital computing to deliver fast, energy-efficient AI inference and advanced signal processing for edge computing applications across defense, telecommunications, robotics, healthcare industrial monitoring and other markets. 2

● Executed Framework Agreement with Planck Dynamics for NeuraWave Deployment: During the second quarter, QCi entered into a framework agreement with Planck Dynamics supporting the deployment of up to multiple dozens of NeuraWave photonic reservoir computing systems as customer milestones are achieved. The agreement represents an important commercial validation of NeuraWave’s readiness to address emerging AI infrastructure requirements and establishes a commercial framework with a potential aggregate program value in excess of $10 million, subject to the achievement of specified customer milestones and other conditions. ● Acquisition of NHanced Semiconductors, Inc.: During the second quarter, QCi completed the acquisition of NHanced Semiconductors, Inc., a U.S.-based advanced packaging foundry, for a combination of cash and QCi stock valued at $73.1 million, and up to an additional $72.0 million if certain performance targets are achieved. The NHanced acquisition launches Fab 2 ahead of schedule, significantly expanding QCi’s advanced packaging, semiconductor manufacturing and photonic integration capabilities while broadening the customer base served by these capabilities. ● Received Purchase Order from A World-Leading University For Quantum Secure Communications System: During the second quarter, QCi received an order from a leading university for its quantum secure communications system. The order reflects continued commercial traction and growing recognition of QCi’s quantum communications technology and will support the university’s research and development efforts to evaluate quantum-secure communications solutions as part of its work to advance secure networks of the future. ● Expanded Industry Engagement: During the second quarter, QCi participated in eight industry conferences and events, including The Economist Commercialising Quantum Global 2026 conference, Quantum Tech World conference and the Optica Quantum Industry Summit, strengthening customer relationships, strategic partnerships and QCi’s visibility across the photonics and quantum technology ecosystem.
