Horizon Quantum Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Insider BriefPress release – Horizon Quantum Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: HQ) (“Horizon Quantum,” “Horizon,” or “the Company”), a pioneer of software infrastructure for quantum applications, today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (“Q2 2026”).“During the second quarter of 2026, we reached important milestones with Beryllium, an object-oriented quantum programming language that we believe will allow developers to build increasingly sophisticated quantum applications and begin to abstract away the subtleties of quantum mechanics from the work necessary to realize quantum advantage. More recently, we also announced a strategic collaboration with Quantum Machines, which aims to further our technical capabilities in calibration,” said Horizon Quantum CEO and Founder Dr. Joe Fitzsimons.He continued, “I am also pleased to share that Horizon Quantum experienced a cash infusion from the exercise of our Public Warrants, further fortifying our cash balances by $27.5 million during the second quarter. As a result, we continue to anticipate sufficient financial runway for the foreseeable future, allowing us to make increased investments in R&D, further advance Triple Alpha, our integrated development environment, and continue the push towards quantum advantage with the extension of our testbed.”Beryllium is Horizon Quantum’s object-oriented quantum programming language. It aims to enable developers to construct quantum programs in a way that resembles modern classical software engineering. It introduces advanced control flow structures and familiar programming constructs, including classes, functions, and libraries to quantum programming, allowing developers to define reusable quantum components analogous to those used in today’s classical programming languages.By providing a high level of abstraction, Beryllium is designed to let developers focus on algorithmic intent rather than implementation mechanics and to make quantum software development more accessible and efficient.Beryllium is currently the highest level of abstraction available within Triple Alpha. It can be compiled down to Helium, Triple Alpha’s BASIC–like language, and Hydrogen, its assembly language, as well as targeted quantum hardware. Horizon Quantum is developing its layered programming framework incrementally, with the aim of ultimately creating tools that enable developers to write quantum programs using familiar classical languages. The release of Beryllium represents an important step towards this objective.By tightly integrating its software infrastructure with a variety of hardware platforms, Horizon Quantum aims to provide developers with the most direct path to broad quantum advantage and help ensure that their quantum applications remain useful, no matter which modality emerges as a frontrunner.Horizon Quantum is the first quantum software company to operate its own quantum computer. In doing so, Horizon Quantum maintains full control over both quantum hardware and software stacks, providing a testbed for the integration of its software directly with hardware systems and allowing Horizon Quantum to develop real-time execution capabilities that go beyond what is possible over cloud connections. Having full control over the technology stack provides a critical advantage in accelerating the development of Horizon Quantum’s software infrastructure. Deeper software-hardware integration is also expected to play a central role in advancing experimentation with quantum error correction, fault tolerance, and other technologies critical to realizing practical quantum advantage. The testbed provides an ideal environment for developing and testing these capabilities. Horizon Quantum’s testbed currently houses a superconducting system, and the Company has announced its purchase of a second system based on trapped-ion technology to expand the testbed.All results presented as approximate and in USD.Conference Call InformationAs previously announced, the company will hold a conference call to discuss its second quarter on August 4 at 8:00 a.m. ET. The conference call will be broadcast live over the internet and can be accessed at https://investors.horizonquantum.com/news-events/events. For those unable to listen to the live broadcast, an archived version will be available at the same location for one year.To supplement Horizon Quantum’s condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Horizon Quantum uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of Horizon Quantum’s results period over period. EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, and income tax expense, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, income tax expense, share-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities and non-recurring business combination expenses. Horizon Quantum uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its business, by excluding specifically identified items that its management does not believe directly reflect Horizon Quantum’s core operations and may not be indicative of its 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 U.S. GAAP, and Horizon Quantum’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

For Horizon Quantum’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, Horizon Quantum has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.TopicsShare Get the latest research, company news, and market intelligence every week.
