  • Total gross profit for the second quarter was $1.3 million, compared with $1.2 million in the prior year period.
  • Total GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $26.9 million, compared with $10.9 million in the prior year period. Total non-GAAP operating expenses2 for the second quarter of 2022 were $16.4 million, compared with $9.3 million in the prior year period.
  • Net GAAP loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $10.0 million, or $0.09 per share, compared with $10.1 million, or $0.46 per share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA3 for the second quarter of 2022 was a loss of $15.1 million, versus a loss of $8.1 million in the prior year period.
  • The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $184.0 million as of June 30, 2022.

Technology Roadmap

The Company remains on track to introduce its planned single-chip 84-qubit quantum computer in 2023, its planned 336-qubit multi-chip processor later in 2023, its planned 1,000+ qubit system in late 2025, and its planned 4,000+ qubit system in or after 2027. The Company plans to use its patented, multi-chip scaling technology in both its planned 1,000+ qubit system and its planned 4,000+ qubit system. These plans are consistent with the Company’s technology roadmap announced in its first quarter 2022 earnings press release on May 16, 2022.

Committed Equity Facility

On August 11, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Under the agreement, the Company has the right, without obligation, to sell and issue up to $75 million of shares of its common stock to B. Riley, subject to certain limitations and satisfaction of certain conditions, over a 24-month period. The Company issued to B. Riley 171,008 shares of common stock as consideration for B. Riley’s commitment to purchase shares of Company common stock under the agreement. Further details will be provided in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Fiscal Year 2022 Outlook

In our Q1 earnings release in May, we estimated that revenues for fiscal year 2022 would be in the range of $12 to $13 million. This estimate included approximately $4.0 million tied to contracts that are being negotiated with a government entity that is also an existing customer. The contracting process has taken longer than anticipated, and revenue recognition for some or all of the estimated $4.0 million, a portion of which relates to work that has already been performed and costs that have already been incurred, could be deferred to a fiscal period after fiscal year 2022 if negotiations are not completed and contracts are not executed until after 2022. In such case, the Adjusted EBITDA loss for fiscal year 2022 could be greater than the $50 to $53 million range we estimated in May. Moreover, if negotiations result in contract terms that are less favorable than we anticipated, the total expected value of these contracts could decrease.

Recent Business Developments

  • Rigetti announced the launch of its 32-qubit Aspen-series quantum computer in the U.K. on June 21, 2022. As Rigetti’s first U.K.-based quantum computer, this system is expected to be available over the Cloud through Rigetti QCS™ to the Company’s U.K. partners, including Oxford Instruments, the University of Edinburgh, Phasecraft, and Standard Chartered Bank. The Rigetti-led consortium aims to advance practical quantum computing applications in the areas of machine learning, materials simulation, and finance, and is backed by funding from the U.K. government’s Quantum Technologies Challenge, led by U.K. Research & Innovation. Delivering this system achieves a key milestone of the consortium in its efforts to accelerate the commercialization of quantum computing in the U.K.
  • Rigetti UK Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rigetti, jointly received two Innovate U.K. awards on April 29, 2022, as part of the ISCF Commercializing Quantum Technologies Challenge. Rigetti expects to utilize each award alongside its partners to make advancements within critical areas of quantum computing. As part of the awards, Rigetti and Riverlane plan to work together on research and development for quantum error correction. Additionally, Rigetti, Phasecraft, and BT (formerly British Telecom) plan to develop quantum algorithms and software for solving optimization and constraint satisfaction problems with quantum computers.
  • Rigetti has been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to lead a program to develop benchmarks for quantum application performance on large-scale quantum computers. The program is worth up to $2.9 million to Rigetti and its partners over three years based on the achievement of certain milestones, of which approximately $1.5 million is subject to DARPA’s exercise of an option to extend the initial eighteen-month term. This award is part of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Program. The goal of this program is to re-invent key quantum computing metrics, make those metrics testable, and estimate the required quantum and classical resources needed to reach critical performance thresholds.
  • Following the conclusion of the 2022 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, Rigetti was included in the Russell 2000 index.

The Company does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Rigetti’s financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. In particular, the Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes from GAAP reported net loss certain items as detailed in the reconciliation table that follows, and non-GAAP operating expenses, which excludes from GAAP reported operating expenses certain items as detailed in the reconciliation table that follows. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expenses can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of its business as they remove the impact of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges.

Investors should note that reconciliations of certain forward-looking or projected non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided because the Company cannot do so without unreasonable efforts due to the unavailability of information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of comparable GAAP measures and the reconciling items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in the future. Specifically, reconciliation of the components of projected Adjusted EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided because the quantification of projected stock-based compensation and change in fair value of assumed forward contract obligations are outside the Company’s control and cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. Such unavailable information could be significantly impact future financial results and vary greatly between periods.

The Company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors and analysts and that each of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the Company’s financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors’ and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the Company’s results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance and to identify operating trends in the Company’s business.        

The Company’s management also regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company’s business and to make operating decisions. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are important internal measurements for the Company’s management, the Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts since these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the Company uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles in the reconciliation tables that follow. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by the Company in this press release and the accompanying tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

1 Circuit layer operations per second, or CLOPS, characterizes quantum processing speeds inclusive of gate speeds, reprogrammability, and co-processing capabilities, among other factors. Rigetti has customarily tracked gate speed as a key speed metric. CLOPS is designed to characterize how many circuits can run on a quantum computing system in a given unit of time. It leverages the quantum resources on a device to run a collection of circuits as fast as possible, while stressing all parts of the execution pipeline. CLOPS was initially developed and published by IBM in October 2021. CLOPS is calculated as M × K × S × D / time taken where: M = number of templates = 100; K = number of parameter updates = 10; S = number of shots = 100; and D = number of QV layers = log2 QV. To Rigetti’s knowledge, CLOPS as a speed test has not been investigated or verified by any independent third party. In addition, while Rigetti applied the above formula in testing the speed of Aspen-M-2 and Aspen-11, there is no guarantee that Rigetti applied the test in the same way as IBM and, as a result, any variability in the application of the test as between Rigetti, IBM or others in the industry that may apply CLOPS in the future could render CLOPS scores incomparable and actual relative performance may materially differ from reported results. Other than IBM, others in the industry have not announced CLOPS as a speed test. As a result, the speed of other competitors as measured by CLOPS is not currently known. In addition, the solution accuracy provided by quantum computers is another key factor, and a quantum computer that may be slower may be preferable to users if it provides a more accurate answer for certain applications. Moreover, the relative leads reflected by speed tests such as CLOPS can change as new generations of quantum computers are introduced by industry participants and, consequently, any advantages cannot be considered permanent and can be expected to change from time to time. Current CLOPS tests may not be indicative of the results of future tests.
