Second Quarter 2026 Conference Call

Quantinuum will host a conference call at 5 PM Eastern time on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, to discuss its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provide a business update. The call will be available live via webcast here.

An archived replay of the webcast will be made available on the Quantinuum Investor Relations website following the call and will remain available for one year. 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Quantinuum’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release: Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Loss, fully distributed, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, fully distributed.

Adjusted Gross Profit starts with GAAP gross profit and adds back equity compensation and related employer taxes attributable to cost of revenue and depreciation and amortization attributable to cost of revenue.

Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue, net.

Adjusted Net Loss, fully distributed starts with GAAP net loss on an as-converted basis, adds back GAAP income tax expense, adjusts for equity compensation and related employer taxes, costs of the initial public offering and the transition to public company reporting, the change in fair value of liability-classified warrants, and loss on disposal and write down of assets, and then applies an assumed statutory tax rate to the resulting adjusted pre-tax loss. No tax benefit is recognized in respect of losses subject to a full valuation allowance, and accordingly no tax benefit is reflected in the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA starts with Adjusted Net Loss, fully distributed, and further excludes interest income, net, depreciation, and amortization of acquired intangibles.

Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, fully distributed is calculated as Adjusted Net Loss, fully distributed, divided by adjusted shares, fully distributed, basic and diluted, comprising weighted-average Class A common shares outstanding and Common Units of Quantinuum Holdings.

Management believes these measures provide investors with additional information useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and trends across periods. Quantinuum’s results include large non-cash charges that do not reflect the cost of operating the business in the period, principally stock-based compensation recognized on completion of the Reorganization and remeasurement of liability-classified warrants. Both are driven by accounting triggers and external inputs rather than operating activity. As an early commercial-stage business, Quantinuum’s period-to-period results also are affected by the timing of individual contracts. Measures that isolate underlying operating performance from non-cash and transition items help investors assess trends across periods.

Quantinuum’s Up-C structure means that GAAP net loss attributable to Quantinuum Inc. reflects only the Class A share of the economics. Presenting adjusted results on an as-converted, fully distributed basis describes the whole economic enterprise, which is how management assesses performance and how the business is managed. Management uses these measures for internal planning and forecasting, evaluating operating performance, and preparing budgets.

These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Quantinuum’s non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies and, therefore, may not be comparable. Investors should review the reconciliations and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

Each non-GAAP financial measure is reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the tables at the end of this release.

(1) The as-converted basis includes the economic interests represented by Class A common stock and Common Units of Quantinuum Holdings as if all Common Units were exchanged for Class A common stock. It is used because Class A common stock represents a minority of the economic interest in Quantinuum Holdings.
(2) Represents non-cash compensation expense associated with equity-based awards, including expense recognized in connection with the Reorganization, together with the related employer payroll taxes on equity vesting. Employer payroll taxes were $17,127 and $17,127 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and zero in the corresponding prior year periods. The stock-based compensation component agrees to the stock compensation expense line in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(3) Represents costs of the initial public offering, transaction costs, and the transition to public company reporting. These costs represent professional fees for advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting services incurred related to the IPO. These costs are scoped by reference to their cause and have a defined end. They do not include the ongoing costs of operating as a public company.
(4) Represents the non-cash change in fair value of liability-classified warrants, which is driven by valuation inputs and accounting remeasurement rather than operating activity.
(5) Represents the tax effect of the adjusted pre-tax loss using the assumed statutory tax rate presented in the table.
(6) Represents total depreciation and amortization per our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, less amortization of acquired intangibles shown separately below. Includes amortization of capitalized software.

HelloNation Article Outlines How to Grow Your Small Business Featuring Insurance Expert Tony Pope

Published

By

The article reviews practical strategies for planning, marketing, and customer engagement to support sustainable small business growth.

SUMMERVILLE, S.C., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — How can small business owners take the next step after starting their venture? A HelloNation article answers this question with a clear set of strategies designed to guide entrepreneurs through the growth process. Featuring insights from Insurance Expert Tony Pope of Summerville, SC, the feature highlights planning, customer focus, marketing, and partnerships as essential tools for success.

The HelloNation article begins by stressing the importance of a business plan. A growth plan serves as a roadmap, setting clear, achievable goals and outlining how to achieve them. Whether aiming to increase sales, launch new products, or enter different markets, business owners benefit from a written plan they can review and update regularly. Insurance agent Tony Pope notes that a structured approach provides entrepreneurs with direction and confidence as they work toward expansion.

Market research also plays a key role. The HelloNation feature explains that understanding industry trends, competitors, and customer expectations provides a foundation for wise decisions. By using recent and reliable data, small business owners can position themselves strategically rather than guessing at what might work.

Equally important is understanding customer needs. Business owners who listen to feedback, track purchasing habits, and anticipate future demand are better able to tailor their products and services. The HelloNation article suggests loyalty programs, discounts, and incentives as ways to strengthen relationships. Meeting customer expectations helps businesses build repeat sales while attracting new clients.

Customer service is another priority. A positive experience at every touchpoint creates satisfied customers who are more likely to return and recommend a business to others. The article emphasizes communication, ease of purchase, and active social media engagement as simple yet powerful ways to improve service.

Marketing strategy evaluation is also essential. The HelloNation article recommends that business owners review their current approach to ensure it is delivering results. By combining traditional methods, such as flyers, with digital tools like social media and email campaigns, businesses can expand their reach. Consistency in branding and clarity in messaging help keep a business top of mind with customers.

A strong online presence is now considered mandatory. The HelloNation article notes that professional websites, social media platforms, and tools like Google Business Profiles increase visibility. Search engine optimization (SEO) further boosts exposure by making businesses easier to find online. Adding e-commerce options also allows small businesses to reach customers beyond their immediate area.

Networking remains another key factor in business growth. Attending conferences, joining forums, and engaging with industry peers can lead to partnerships and mentorship opportunities. The HelloNation article explains that networking not only provides support but can also open doors to new markets and ideas.

Corporate social responsibility is also highlighted. Customers are often drawn to businesses that give back to their communities. Whether through sustainable practices, volunteering, or charitable contributions, these actions strengthen a company’s reputation and build customer loyalty.

The article also touches on influencer marketing. Collaborating with influencers whose followers match a business’s target audience can expand brand recognition and drive sales. Strategic partnerships with complementary companies provide another avenue for growth, spreading risk and costs while creating new opportunities.

Exploring new markets can be a game-changer for small business growth. Expanding into different regions, moving into online sales, or even considering franchising are ways to broaden reach. The HelloNation article cautions that careful research is necessary to ensure demand before entering new markets.

To measure progress, businesses should analyze their performance using tools such as Google Analytics or customer relationship management systems. Tracking sales, customer interactions, and marketing outcomes helps identify what is working and where improvements are needed.

The HelloNation feature concludes by reminding business owners that growth requires patience, planning, and flexibility. While progress does not happen overnight, consistent effort leads to long-term results. Tony Pope of Summerville, SC, emphasizes that protecting a growing business with the right insurance coverage is also essential. From liability protection to specialized policies, coverage helps safeguard the investment entrepreneurs work so hard to build.

The full article, titled “How to grow your small business”, provides a detailed overview of these strategies. The HelloNation piece, featuring Tony Pope, Insurance Expert in Summerville, SC, equips small business owners with tools and insights to expand with confidence.

Notation Labs Introduces LeakSecure® Platform 3.0, Turning Real-Time Water Data into Coordinated Action

Published

Cloud- and AI-native platform moves beyond standalone leak alerts, helping insurance carriers, plumbing contractors, other home-services companies and multi-location operators reduce water-loss risk through connected response

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Notation Labs, Inc., developer of LeakSecure®, today announced the launch of LeakSecure® Platform 3.0, a cloud- and AI-native leak detection and prevention platform designed to move beyond standalone leak alerts by connecting real-time water data with coordinated action that helps prevent water damage before it escalates. The platform gives insurance carriers, plumbing contractors, other home-services companies and multi-location operators a more connected and measurable way to reduce water-loss risk, coordinate response and manage protection across entire portfolios.

LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 connects professionally installed devices in homes and businesses with a suite of customer and professional tools. These include mobile applications that can carry the LeakSecure® brand or be white-labeled for individual partners, the LeakSecure® Pro app for plumbing technicians and installers, and the LeakSecure® Pro Dashboard for dispatchers, contractors and business owners. Behind these tools, a single-source, multi-tenant AI Cloud manages the connected device fleet and supports AI agents and commercial application programming interfaces, creating one connected system for tracking each property, device, alert and response.

From Detection to Documented Action

A central advancement in LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 is closed-loop alert response. When the platform issues an alert, it can register what happened next, whether the customer opened the app, closed the valve, initiated a Leak Test or took no action, and then use that information to guide the next step. Depending on the event and configured settings, the platform can escalate notifications, initiate protective shutoff or close the event once the issue has been resolved.

The result is more than a one-time alert. LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 creates a documented timeline connecting the conditions detected at the property with the customer response and any protective action taken. This gives insurance carriers and professional service partners greater visibility into not only what occurred, but how the event was addressed.

“An alert alone does not prevent damage. The value begins when verified information reaches the right person and leads to the right action,” said Jeff Stebbins, Vice President of Operations at Notation Labs. “LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 creates a connected and documented path from detection to customer response to professional intervention. That helps our partners act faster, understand what happened and remain connected with the customer long after installation.”

Creating Value Across the Water-Risk Ecosystem

For insurance carriers and program partners, LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 provides continuous property-level data and a documented history of system events and responses. That information can support proof of installation, monitoring summaries, event documentation, risk-mitigation programs and portfolio-level analysis. Developing conditions such as abnormal water flow, sustained changes in line pressure or emerging freeze risk may become visible before they escalate into a significant water-loss event.

Continuous temperature, flow and pressure data can also support weather-related risk management. Freeze warnings can help protect an individual property, while portfolio-level insights can help carriers and program partners identify at-risk locations, coordinate proactive outreach and document system activity before, during and after a severe-weather event.

For plumbing contractors and other home-services companies, LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 transforms connected water data into actionable customer service. Through its native integration with ServiceTitan, the platform fits directly into existing contractor workflows, allowing technicians, dispatchers and business leaders to monitor connected devices, coordinate service and respond proactively when issues arise. By extending the customer relationship beyond the initial installation, LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 helps contractors create recurring service opportunities while delivering measurable value long after the job is complete.

“Because LeakSecure® integrates with ServiceTitan, our team can see what’s happening with the systems we’ve installed, receive alerts and reach out when something needs attention,” said Craig Ferguson, Plumbing Manager of Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, an Arizona-based home-services company. “The biggest thing is getting in front of a leak before it causes damage, but it also changes the relationship with the customer. We can stay connected after the installation, help protect their home and be the plumbing company they know is looking out for them.”

For private equity groups and other multi-location operators, the multi-tenant architecture, white-label customer applications and commercial APIs provide a common platform that can be deployed across multiple operating companies. Portfolio owners can standardize installation, alert handling, service workflows and reporting while allowing each local company to preserve its own brand and customer relationships.

“Water-loss prevention is only part of the opportunity,” said Rod Cullum, Founder and Chairman of Cullum Homes, a luxury custom home building and design firm in Arizona. “The same data that helps an insurance carrier better understand risk can help a home-services company identify customer needs, coordinate service and build recurring value. For owners of multiple businesses, LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 creates a repeatable operating model that can be deployed and measured across an entire portfolio without erasing the local brands customers already know.”

Applying AI to Real Operational Needs

Notation Labs is applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify meaningful patterns in device telemetry, support customer-service workflows, create consistent event documentation and make portfolio data easier for authorized partners to use. The architecture also supports secure, permissioned workflows through commercial APIs and Model Context Protocol extensions, allowing approved data and actions to connect with partner systems.

Through a commercial deployment of Claude from Anthropic, Notation Labs is using AI to support telemetry analysis, customer-service processes, standardized documentation and partner enablement. Planned capabilities include predictive risk signals, natural-language access to portfolio data, automated post-event timelines and API data feeds that can deliver verified device data and summaries into partner systems. Future capabilities remain subject to development and change.

LeakSecure® Platform 3.0 was developed in collaboration with Modularis, Notation Labs’ software development partner, which has worked alongside the company throughout the platform’s evolution.

“We believe in Notation Labs: the people, the product, the strategy and the market opportunity. We’ve walked this path before as a strategic partner and recognize what it takes to build a scalable technology platform. We see the same dynamics here, and we are fully committed to the continued success of LeakSecure®,” said A.J. Singh, Founder and CEO of Modularis.

Core technology within the platform is supported by U.S. Patent No. 12,584,876 for a Continuous Whole-Home Water Quality Analyzer and U.S. Patent No. 12,584,774 for a Non-Obstructive High-Sensitivity Flowmeter.
