Third Quarter 2026 Financial and Business Highlights (all figures approximate and presented in USD):CEO Commentary

"During the third quarter of 2026, as part of our ongoing collaboration with OQC, we successfully completed the pulse-level integration of Triple Alpha with their 32 qubit Toshiko quantum processing unit, a further milestone in our aim of tightly integrating our software infrastructure with a variety of hardware platforms. We also announced that we have implemented our proprietary techniques for multiplexed characterization on a processor with greater than 100 qubits for the first time, enabling more efficient, scalable QPU characterization," said Horizon Quantum CEO and Founder Dr. Joe Fitzsimons.

He continued, "In addition we recently signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Entropica Labs Pte. Ltd, a Singapore-based quantum computing company, who specialise in error correction and fault tolerance. We look forward to exploring this opportunity further."

Operational Highlights

Expanding Horizon Quantum’s Hardware Ecosystem

By tightly integrating its software infrastructure with a variety of hardware platforms, Horizon Quantum aims to provide developers with the most direct path to broad quantum advantage and help ensure that their quantum applications remain useful—no matter which modality emerges as a frontrunner.Expanding Horizon Quantum’s Technical Capabilities

By developing software capabilities that enable more accurate, efficient, and scalable hardware characterization and calibration, Horizon Quantum aims to maximize the performance of quantum hardware and accelerate the path to broad quantum advantage.Corporate Update

Horizon Quantum has signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Entropica Labs Pte. Ltd. (“Entropica Labs”), a Singapore-based quantum software company specializing in error correction and fault tolerance, for an anticipated consideration of $27 million USD of Horizon Quantum Class A ordinary shares subject to the completion of appropriate due diligence, related audits, the signing of definitive agreements, and satisfaction of other customary conditions.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

All results are presented as approximate and in USD.Conference Call Information

As previously announced, the company will hold a conference call to discuss its third quarter on November 10 at 8:00 a.m. ET. The conference call will be broadcast live over the internet and can be accessed at https://investors.horizonquantum.com/news-events. For those unable to listen to the live broadcast, an archived version will be available at the same location for one year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Horizon Quantum’s condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Horizon Quantum uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of Horizon Quantum’s results period over period. EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, and income tax expense, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, income tax expense, share-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities and non-recurring business combination expenses. Horizon Quantum uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its business, by excluding specifically identified items that its management does not believe directly reflect Horizon Quantum’s core operations and may not be indicative of its recurring operations. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and Horizon Quantum’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. For Horizon Quantum’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, Horizon Quantum has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

About Horizon Quantum

Horizon Quantum [NASDAQ: HQ] is on a mission to unlock broad quantum advantage by building the software infrastructure that empowers developers to use quantum computing to solve the world’s toughest computational problems.

Founded in 2018 by Dr. Joe Fitzsimons, a leading researcher and former professor with more than two decades of experience in quantum computing, the company is bridging the gap between today’s quantum hardware and tomorrow’s applications through the creation of advanced software development tools. Its software infrastructure moves beyond the constraints of static circuit execution, making it possible for developers to express any conceivable quantum computation. Its integrated development environment, Triple Alpha, enables developers to write sophisticated, hardware-agnostic quantum programs at multiple levels of abstraction.

Note to Investors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the businesses of Horizon Quantum may differ from its actual results and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “aim,” “potential,” “plan,” “enable,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements, and Horizon Quantum therefore cautions against placing undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are outside of the control of Horizon Quantum and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial, performance and operational metrics and projections of market opportunity; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits and costs, if any, of the strategic collaborations with Quantum Machines and OQC; (3) the outcome of any efforts to deploy or build out the 256-qubit trapped-ion system in Horizon Quantum’s Dublin, Ireland facility; (4) Horizon Quantum’s ability to scale and grow its business, and the advantages and expected growth of Horizon Quantum; (5) the cash position of Horizon Quantum and its estimates of expenses and profitability; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the recently completed business combination with dMY Squared Technology Group, Inc., which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Horizon Quantum to grow and manage growth profitably and source and retain its key employees; (7) Horizon Quantum’s ability to enter into definitive documentation with Entropica, close the anticipated acquisition and realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition; (8) changes in applicable laws and regulations or political and economic developments; (9) the possibility that Horizon Quantum may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; (10) difficulties operating Horizon Quantum’s quantum processors and the possibility that the quantum processors do not provide the advantages that Horizon Quantum expects; (11) the ability of Horizon Quantum’s coding languages to provide additional abstraction when compared to other quantum computing solutions; (12) the ability to maintain the listing of Horizon Quantum’s Class A ordinary shares and warrants on Nasdaq; and (13) other risks and uncertainties included in the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report on Form 20-F filed by Horizon Quantum on April 14, 2026 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Horizon Quantum. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risks, nor can management assess the impact of all factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
