IonQ, Inc. Q1 FY26 Results

I am pleased to share that IonQ has begun 2026 with strong momentum, delivering our fourth consecutive quarter of record-breaking results and the biggest quarter in our company's history - thus far. With $64.7 million in revenue, we have once again significantly outperformed our guidance range, exceeding the midpoint by 30%. As a result, we are raising our revenue expectations for the full year to $270 million at the high end, based upon the strong and growing demand for our leading quantum computers, as well as the commercial impact of our entire quantum platform. We are executing and innovating across our quantum platform with key milestones this past quarter including: 1) DARPA’s selection of IonQ’s pioneering quantum interconnect technology to support heterogeneous quantum computing, 2) commercialization of our best-in-class sensing products, and 3) global deployments of our post-quantum cybersecurity solutions to ensure customers remain protected in the age of quantum ubiquity.

Our first quarter 2026 revenue was $64.7 million, representing 755% year-on-year growth, underpinned by accelerating global system sales, strong Tempo demand, strengthening pipeline, and increasing cloud utilization. I am proud to report that we saw not only record revenues, but an increase in our backlog as well. We delivered year-on-year growth across our product offerings, and this strong demand helped increase our reported RPOs by 554% year-on-year to a new record level of $470 million. I’m also pleased to report that our results reflected approximately 60% of revenue from commercial customers and approximately 35% from international customers. With this strong start to the year, we are raising our full year revenue guidance, reflecting our expectation of continued strong organic growth of 100% year-on-year or better. Our quantum platform strategy is resonating with customers, as illustrated by the fact that over one third of our revenue this quarter came from multi-product sales, not just computing. With a strengthened go-to-market team, we are implementing methodical pursuit and capture tactics and pursuing a land-and-expand strategy. We have now sold IonQ solutions in more than 30 countries, compared to a year ago when that number was only a few. As we look ahead into the rest of 2026, our focused pipeline, the expansion of our manufacturing capacity, the increase in our deployment resources, and the implementation of a corporate dashboard all help us maintain operational rigor and focus across our growing enterprise. We will continue to invest in bringing market-leading quantum products and applications to our customers.
