Did RGTI Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results

Rigetti Computing delivered a headline-grabbing but deeply misleading beat in Q1 2025, posting earnings per share of $0.13 against a consensus estimate of -$0.04 — a 425.00% positive surprise — while simultaneously missing badly on revenue, which came in at just $1.47 million versus the $2.55 million analysts expected, a -42.29% shortfall and a steep -51.8% decline from $3.05 million a year ago. The EPS figure is almost entirely illusory: the company's $42.62 million net income was driven by $62.10 million in non-cash gains tied to derivative warrant and earn-out liability revaluations, masking an operating loss that widened to $21.63 million as R&D spending climbed to $15.46 million from $11.47 million in Q1 2024. The revenue shortfall underscores the inherently lumpy commercialization cycle of early-stage quantum computing, though a $35 million strategic investment from Quanta Computer and a cash position of $209.10 million — later rising to $237.70 million — provide meaningful runway as Rigetti pursues <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/03/04/live-rigetti-computing-reports-q4-earnings-tonight/">government contracts and technical milestones</a> to sustain long-term growth.

Key Takeaways
  • Non-cash gains of $62.1 million from change in fair value of derivative warrant and earn-out liabilities drove net income
  • Revenue decline due to lower quantum computing services and hardware revenue compared to prior year
  • Increased R&D spending reflecting investment in scaling qubit count systems

“Rigetti is proud to be awarded important government-funded projects in the U.S. and U.K. to advance our technology, which demonstrates our continued leadership in superconducting quantum computing”
