Welcome to The Rigetti Computing Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Conference call. At this time all participants are in a listen only mode. After the speaker’s presentation there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question during the session you will need to press star 11 on your telephone. You will then hear an automated message advising your hand is raised to withdraw your question. Please press star 11 again.

Please be advised that today’s conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead. Good afternoon and thank you for participating in Rigetti’s earnings conference call covering the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Joining me today is Jeff Bertelsen, our CFO who will review our results in some detail following my overview.

Our CTO David Rivas is also here to participate in the Q and A session. We will be pleased to answer your questions at the conclusion of our remarks. We would like to point out that this call and Rigetti’s second quarter ended June 30, 2025 press release contain forward looking statements regarding current expectations, objectives and underlying assumptions regarding our outlook and... These forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described and are discussed in more detail in our Form 10K... These filings identify and address important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward looking statements. We urge you to review these discussions of risk factors today.

I’m pleased to report that we continue to achieve our ambitious roadmap goals and maintain our momentum on the technology front, most recently by demonstrating the industry’s largest multi chip quantum computer with impressive... Our Multi chip Quantum Computer CPS 136Q, the industry’s largest multi chip quantum computer, is released for general availability and deployed on the Rigetti quantum cloud services platform QCS and will be available on... Just six months after our record performance with Aspen M-3, we have once again halved our error rates with a median 2.99.5% CPS 136Q has achieved a 2x reduction in 2 qubit gate error... CPS 136Q is the first multi chip quantum computer in the industry to achieve this level of performance with 4 chips. CPS 136Q contains the largest number of chiplets in a quantum computer and further validates our approach to scaling Rigetti’s quantum computers. It’s our view that superconducting qubits are the leading modality for quantum computers due to their ability to scale and their ability to achieve gate speeds more than 1,000 times faster than other modalities...

Our superconducting qubits leverage technologies like chiplets that have been maturing in the semiconductor industry for decades. Use of these well established methods enables Rigetti to scale its quantum computers to higher levels of performance and qubit counts. This legacy of technological advancement continues with the CPS one architecture and includes the following features that contribute to improved performance. Transitioning from a monolithic chip to chiplets enables greater control over chip uniformity which in turn improves performance. Leveraging chiplets also reduces manufacturing complexity and improves fabrication yield. Optimized two qubit gates enable faster gate times while reducing coherent errors which improves fidelity and is important for executing quantum error correction techniques.

These improvements enabled a 2x reduction in error rates. Advances in multi layer chip and tunable coupler design also enables higher performance. Our industry leading proprietary chiplet approach to scaling makes us confident that we will hit our end of year technology goals. We believe quadrupling or chiplet count and significantly decreasing error rates is a clear path towards quantum advantage and fault tolerance. We intend to continue our momentum and expect to release a 100 plus Qubit chiplet based system at 99.5% median two Qubit gate fidelity before the end of 2025. While we are pleased with our sequential growth in quarterly revenues, we believe achievement of our technology milestones remains the key metric to achieving our long term success.

On the financing front, I’m pleased to report that Rigetti has significantly strengthened its balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2025 Rigetti completed the sales of 350 million gross proceeds of its common stock pursuant to our previously disclosed at the Market Equity Offering program. We are well positioned to support commercial scale up of our superconducting gate based quantum computers. Thank you Jeff. Will now make a few remarks regarding our recent financial performance. Day and thank you for standing by.

Our multi-chip quantum computer, CFIUS-1 36Q, the industry's largest multi-chip quantum computer, is released for general availability and deployed on the Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services platform, QCS, and will be available on Microsoft Azure... Just six months after our record performance with ANKA-3, we have once again hugged our error rates. With a median 2-qubit gate of 99.5%, CFIUS-1 36Q has achieved a 2x reduction in 2-qubit gate error rate from our previous ANKA-3 system. CFIUS-1 36Q is the first multi-chip quantum computer in the industry to achieve this level of performance.

The following is a summary of the Rigetti Computing, Inc. (RGTI) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Transcript: Rigetti reported Q2 2025 revenue of $1.8 million, significantly down from $3.1 million in Q2 2024. Gross margins for Q2 2025 were recorded at 31%, a decline from 64% in the previous year, attributed to variable pricing in development contracts, particularly with the U.K.'s NQCC. Operational expenses increased to $20.4 million from $18.1 million due to salary hikes, new hires, and enhanced shareholder meeting costs.

The operating loss widened to $19.9 million from $16.1 million year-over-year, with a net loss of $39.7 million compared to a net loss of $12.4 million in Q2 2024. Rigetti Computing, Inc.
