• | Grew second quarter bookings (as defined below) by 146% on a year-over-year basis, representing the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in bookings; bookings totaled $5.4 million in the first half of 2023, an increase of $3.7 million, or 209% over the first half of 2022. |
• | Increased average deal size (as defined below) per booking in the second quarter by 136% on a year-over-year basis and by 252% when comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. |
• | Improved the Company’s liquidity position with a current cash balance in excess of $50 million. |
• | Continued development of the next-generation Advantage2 quantum computing system, which recently successfully yielded 1,200-qubit prototype processors in the new higher coherence fabrication stack. Advantage2 is expected to feature 7,000 qubits, 20-way connectivity and higher coherence for increased performance. |
