Strong Operational Execution and Progress Across Customer Deployments, Commercial Partnerships and Product Development

Revenue Increased 14% Year-Over-Year, Including 34% Growth in QPU-Related Services Revenue

PARIS and NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pasqal Holding SA (Nasdaq: PSQL), a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced its financial results for the first half of 2026, covering the six months ended June 30, 2026.

First Half 2026 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue of €4.9 million, an increase of 14% year-over-year.

  • QPU-related services revenue of €3.9 million, an increase of 34% year-over-year.

  • Booked and awarded business1 of €70.4 million as of June 30, 2026.

  • Operating loss of €59.2 million, which included €37.5 million in share based payments and one-time charges, as compared with €19.8 million in the first half of 2025, which included €1.0 million in share based payments.

  • Shared based payment charges amounted to €27.3 million in the first half of 2026, compared to €1.0 million in the first half of 2025. One-time transaction-related expenses incurred in connection with the completion of the business combination and the related listing process amounted to €10.2 million in the first half of 2026.

  • Cash and cash equivalents of €110.8 million as of June 30, 2026. Strong balance sheet to fund growth with cash and cash equivalents of approximately €312.9 million as of August 27, 2026, following the successful business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II and related financing transactions as described below.

(1) Booked and awarded business include grants, tax credit and multi-year customer contracts.

"During the first half of 2026, we continued to deepen our engagement with our customers of choice across financial services, energy and advanced materials to solve high-value business problems and integrate quantum computing into real-world workflows. As demonstrated by our expanding relationships with organizations including NVIDIA, Google, Saudi Aramco and Crédit Agricole, the ability to deliver quantum advantage on meaningful applications today is driving commercial momentum, strengthening our backlog and validating quantum computing as a practical tool for creating measurable value for enterprise customers," said Dr. Wasiq Bokhari, Chief Executive Officer of Pasqal.

"At the same time, we continue to execute against our roadmap. Recent milestones, including the demonstration of more than 1,000 physical qubits, industry-leading progress in logical qubits, and the successful application of our systems to solve complex differential equations and simulate materials beyond the practical reach of classical computing, reinforce our confidence in the strength and differentiation of Pasqal's neutral-atom approach and position the Company to capitalize on the growing demand for practical quantum computing solutions," continued Dr. Bokhari.

"Importantly, Pasqal's capital-efficient business model enables us to pursue these technology and commercial objectives without the significant infrastructure investments required by many alternative quantum architectures. By leveraging a highly scalable neutral-atom platform that can be deployed in conventional data center environments, we are able to bring quantum solutions to customers more quickly, lower total cost of ownership, and accelerate the transition from research programs to production applications. This capital efficiency benefits both Pasqal and our customers, allowing us to focus resources on delivering practical solutions to real-world business challenges today while advancing toward fault-tolerant quantum computing."

"As we enter the second half of the year as a publicly traded company, we believe Pasqal is uniquely positioned at the intersection of scientific innovation and commercial adoption. With a growing portfolio of customer engagements, a differentiated technology platform, a disciplined approach to capital allocation, and a strong balance sheet to support future growth, we remain focused on delivering practical quantum solutions that create value today while building the foundation for the next generation of quantum computing."

First Half 2026 Business and Technological Highlights

Recent Developments

  • Memo of Understanding ("MOU") with Eleven Ventures : Announced a MOU with Eleven Ventures, a Kingdom of Saudi Arabia investment platform and venture capital firm, to establish a joint venture to deploy and commercialize Pasqal's quantum computing systems across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

  • Collaboration with King Abdulaziz City for Science & Technology ("KACST") : Entered into research collaboration agreement with KACST to advance research and development in quantum technologies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

  • Advance Next-Generation Technologies for Critical Mineral Production : Partnered with USA Rare Earth and Riven Systems to advance next-generation technologies for critical mineral production.

  • Photon Integrated Circuit ("PIC") Packaging Center of Competency : Launched, through its Canadian subsidiary Aeponyx Enterprises Inc. ("Aeponyx"), a Center of Competency in Photonic Integrated Circuit ("PIC") Packaging at the C2MI in Bromont, Quebec, intended to establish a domestic Canadian supply chain supporting the photonic layer of Pasqal's hardware roadmap.

  • PIC Trapped Atoms Further Enhancing Technological Roadmap : Pasqal trapped individual atoms using laser light generated by a PIC, holding four rubidium atoms in four optical traps from a single photonic chip with lifetimes of approximately 27.5 seconds, matching the Company's bulk-optics systems. The platform was co-developed with Aeponyx, acquired less than 18 months earlier, and reduces the optical footprint by up to a factor of 50, addressing a principal constraint on manufacturing neutral-atom processors at industrial scale.

Earnings Conference Call

Pasqal will host a conference call to discuss the Company's first half 2026 financial results on Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Those wishing to participate via telephone may dial 1-877-497-9071 (U.S. and Canada) or 1-201-689-8727 (international).
