Upcoming Q3 2026 Conference Participation●Needham 2026 Semiconductor & SemiCap Conference taking place virtually on Wednesday, August 19, 2026●Quantum World Congress 2026 taking place September 23-25, 2026 in College Park Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement IonQ’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, IonQ uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors additional meaningful methods to evaluate certain aspects of the Company’s results period over period.Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to IonQ, Inc. before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest income, interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, executive cash-based severance, changes in fair value from recurring fair value measurements (such as warrant liabilities, contingent consideration, and investments), offering costs associated with warrants, acquisition transaction and integration costs, and non-cash legal settlements and related costs. Adjusted EPS is defined as net income (loss) per share, or EPS, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, executive cash-based severance, changes in fair value from recurring fair value measurements (such as of warrant liabilities, contingent consideration, and investments), offering costs associated with warrants, acquisition transaction and integration costs, and non-cash legal settlements and related costs. IonQ uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to measure the operating performance of its business, excluding specifically identified items that it does not believe directly reflect its core operations and that may not be indicative of recurring operations.The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and IonQ’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. IonQ shows a reconciliation of its non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures at the end of this release.Commercial and Organic RevenueCommercial revenue includes all enterprise agreements with non-U.S. government customers, and agreements with leading universities. Organic revenue is a supplemental measure representing revenue derived from IonQ’s quantum computing products, and any acquisitions prior to December 31, 2024. Remaining Performance ObligationsRemaining performance obligations (RPOs) represent the total transaction price from signed contracts that has been allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period. This includes both funded (firm orders for which funding has been authorized and appropriated) and unfunded (firm orders for which funding has not yet been appropriated) portions of the contract. Unexercised contract options are not included in remaining performance obligations until the time the option is exercised.About IonQIonQ, Inc.
