Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Thank you, and thank you for joining our first half of fiscal year 2025 earnings call. I'm pleased by Arqit's performance for the first half of fiscal year 2025 and by recently announced developments in the business. If one looks at our results solely through the lens of first half revenue, my comment may leave you slightly confused, but please bear with me for a moment. Arqit has developed a transformational technology for addressing significant weaknesses in today's encryption technology, weaknesses which will be magnified by the arrival of quantum computing. We believe that our Symmetric Key Agreement encryption software is the most secure, standards-compliant, and implementation-flexible solution to meet the threat to data and communications. We are building a company to deliver our technology to sophisticated large enterprises and government customers. This is an ambitious objective, one with significant obstacles to overcome and timelines which often seem elastic.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

However, I am pleased that we're making significant progress towards realizing our objective. Circling back to our first half performance and recent announcements, I'm delighted because Arqit has made significant progress in product development, penetration of key identified markets, sales pipeline growth, shift in business model, and cost and business process discipline. Tangible progress along all of these vectors is additional cause for pride which builds towards long-term success. Before I discuss Arqit's performance for the first half, let me briefly outline the market environment for our Symmetric Key Agreement encryption software. The current weaknesses of today's public key cryptography, which safeguards much of the world's data, remain largely unmitigated. The pace of investment in and the development of quantum computers, which pose an existential threat to current encryption, is accelerating. Google, Amazon, and Microsoft all announced quantum computing chips during the last six months.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Last week, Quantinuum, which is majority-owned by Honeywell, signed a $1 billion deal with Qatar, which furthers developments of its quantum computing technology. This week, D-Wave announced its 4,400-qubit sixth-generation quantum computer, a major leap forward in capability which surprised the financial markets. There is little doubt that quantum computing at scale, known as QDAY, is coming. When QDAY arrives, it is uncertain, but I predict it will be sooner than most expect given the players developing the technology and the vast sums being invested. When it does, data that has not been safeguarded with quantum-safe encryption is at risk, as quantum computers will render existing public key cryptography obsolete. Awareness of the need to upgrade to post-quantum cryptography is growing, and the call to action is increasingly urgent. Last week, Japan's Financial Services Agency instructed Japanese banks to take immediate action to begin shifting to post-quantum cryptography.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

This is just the latest example of influential government bodies, including the White House and the NSA, sounding the alarm. Arqit was early in identifying the risk to current cryptography and early in identifying a market opportunity for a solution. We've developed Symmetric Key Cryptography software, which is quantum-safe and easily adopted as it is compliant with many of the most widely used communication standards. Put simply, we as a company have heavily invested in the right products for the current quantum threats at the right time. We feel uniquely positioned to take on the coming threats in the commercial, federal, and defense sectors. The market for our product keeps moving towards us. We're beginning to feel the market bear wave pushing us forward, and it's evident in our recent developments and prospective customer interactions.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

We talked much about our collaboration with a leading tier-one telecom network operator during our fiscal year 2024 results. Our partner integrated our Arqit Network Secure encryption product into its network as a service and announced in 2024 it will be rolling the product out to market. Importantly, shortly before the close of our first half, to enable commercial rollout, the network operator signed a three-year contract, licensing Network Secure for resale to its end customers as part of its network as a service offering. Arqit Network Secure enhances and differentiates its offering. It sees a market need which we can address. The signing was the culmination of a 14-month journey from testing to business-case development to go-to-market strategizing. The contract highlights a number of important points. One, our focus targeting of large value vertical markets, particularly telecom networks and government defense, was the right decision.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Two, our shift to a go-to-market strategy through leading hardware and technology vendors and network operators is the correct approach. Integrating with and enhancing products and services which end users already consume is an easier sale, and our partners are a field salesforce multiplier. Three, our shift to a subscription licensing model properly aligns our interests with those of our customers. Our arrangement with a network operator is a B2B2B model. The initial license is for a defined amount of capacity of our products and can grow as end customer demand increases. This style of contract encourages the initial commitment to our product by our customer and a pay-as-you-grow approach as end customers take up the offering. Our customer succeeds, we succeed. Our interests are aligned. Four, and most importantly, there is end user demand.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

The network operator is already engaged with three significant end user customers for its network as a service secured by Arqit Network Secure. I expect their book of business will continue to grow, and we will be scaling up the contract to meet demand. A final thought on this contract. It was a 14-month journey from a standing start to a signed contract. It is a blueprint which we are replicating with a significant number of other large brand-name network operators with whom we are engaged. We expect cycle times to compress for these opportunities. In addition to the telecom network vertical market, the defense sector is another key market on which we are focused. Cybersecurity is a critical focus for defense and intelligence organizations. The battlefield, from the warfighter to drones and finally command and control, is increasingly being digitalized.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

The digital battlefield requires the highest levels of data security. We have spent significant time and resources in our effort to penetrate the defense market. Shortly before the close of our first half, we signed a contract which has Arqit Symmetric Key Agreement software embedded into a solution sold to the U.S. Department of Defense for a funded program of record. This is our first win with the DOD. The solution is in partnership with perhaps the largest IT vendor to the DOD and was sold through one of our established government sales channels. More details will be forthcoming. The importance of this contract win cannot be underestimated. It is a significant break in building the future success of the company. The contract confirms our technology is compliant with the National Security Agency's Commercial Solution for Classified program. Compliance with the program is critical to being considered for such contracts.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Being able to reference this contract and the DOD program of record makes the pursuit of additional DOD opportunities easier, as well as proves our bona fide to other military organizations around the world. We have our foot now in the door of the large DOD market. It has taken longer than we expected to get to this point. We have arrived and will push to capitalize on this success with additional defense contract wins. An additional area of tangible success has been the continued development of further applications and use cases for our Symmetric Key Agreement encryption software. Currently, our sales and contract activities focus largely on our Arqit Network Secure product, which enables quantum-secure VPN connectivity, effectively securing data in transit. Ultimately, we want to develop applications of our core technology for securing data in transit, data in process, and data at rest.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Perhaps the most exciting application development is being in securing data in process, otherwise known as confidential computing. Confidential computing protects data by encrypting it while it is being processed by a computer, which is particularly important when processing sensitive data on shared infrastructure like a public cloud. For instance, confidential computing would allow AI to train and run on sensitive data without exposing the data to cloud providers, systems administrators, or data center hosts. We announced in collaboration with Intel the integration of Arqit Network Secure running inside a trusted domain enclave created by Intel TDX. What this means is that together with Intel, Arqit can protect both data both on the cloud server and while it's moving between cloud servers in a way that makes it completely hidden from any would-be hackers, as well as the hosting provider themselves.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

It provides data sovereignty across domains as information is processed, moved through data centers, and sent to or from cloud repositories. Confidential computing is a focus for large enterprises and is a significant addressable market with use cases that include AI training and inference, processing of regulated data, and the enforcement of zero trust. Our collaboration with Intel delivers a highly secure, differentiated solution to the market. The collaboration takes Arqit a significant step closer to having additional applications for data in transit, process, and at rest. This is our third collaboration with Intel. We now have joint efforts across secure mobile communications, confidential computing, and server technology. Arqit is working jointly with Intel on further developments of these integrated technologies and go-to-market strategies. We are excited about where our efforts with Intel may lead.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

We stated on our fiscal year 2024 earnings call that focus was an important watchword for fiscal year 2025. One area of focus has been cost control, be it headcount, infrastructure, real estate, or travel. Nick Pointon, our CFO, will touch on these shortly. We've been disciplined, doing more with less, and yet making substantial progress. Our performance compared to budgeted costs has been strong. I'm pleased by the discipline we have exercised and will continue to do so going forward. Despite positive momentum in the market's understanding of our proposition and product adoption, some revenues were slower to be recognized than expected. We previously announced a multi-year contract with seven-figure total contract value for a customer in the Middle East. Revenue under the contract was expected to commence in early 2025.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Due to unforeseen delays on parts of the end customer, revenue did not commence until very late in March, just before the close of the financial period. As our contract base is still modest and not able to readily absorb changes in timing, any unforeseen delays in contracts closing or revenue recognition can have an adverse effect on our results. Fortunately, the full terms of our Middle East contract remain in effect, and we expect to be recognizing revenue during the second half. I'm pleased with the progress we've made since the beginning of the first half of fiscal year 2025. We have contractual wins in our two key vertical markets, telecom networking and defense, with additional visible opportunities to come. We have paying customers in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

We have exciting developments regarding additional applications in mobile communications and confidential computing, plus others that I have not yet discussed. We remain disciplined in our cost control and internal processes. For the balance of this fiscal year, the key focus points for the company will be conversion of concluded tests and evaluation engagements into licenses. I see near-term opportunities, particularly in the telecom network space. Also, the commencement and hopefully completion of an end-to-end test and evaluation collaboration, which brings together a leading data center operator, leading telecom network operator, an AI company, and leading network and server technology vendors. Finally, cost control will remain a priority. We have laid many additional courses of brick to support our success going forward. Our progress is being recognized in the marketplace, and brand and product awareness is driving sales inquiries.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

The level of foot traffic at our stand at the recent RSA Cybersecurity Conference and the sales leads generated were substantial, higher than we've experienced at prior conferences. The positive inquiry generated from leading IT vendors and network operators resulting from our tech and contract and partnership announcements was exciting. The sales leads generated created grounds for continued and increased optimism for the company's prospects. I believe revenue will ramp. Our encryption software is proven and unique. The market is moving towards us. We are well positioned to meet the rapidly growing quantum threat and address the resulting market opportunity. Thank you. Before I turn over the floor to Nick and discuss the financials, a quick housekeeping note. As of May 20th, Nick has stepped down from the board of directors. I have joined the board in his stead.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

I, and the board, want to thank Nick for his service on the board during these formative years of the company. He will continue in his role as our Chief Financial Officer. With that, now we'll over to you, Nick.

Nick Pointon
CFO at Arqit

Thank you, Andy. For the first half of fiscal year 2025, Arqit generated $67,000 in revenue as compared to $119,000 in revenue for the comparable period in 2024. As discussed earlier, revenue for the first half of the fiscal period was adversely affected due to end customer delays in commencing activity under a previously announced multi-year contract in the EMEA region. The variance between periods was also due to less revenue being recognized under customer contracts as Arqit continues to transition from primarily enterprise sales, for which revenue is recognized upfront, to sales through channel partners, for which revenue is recognized over time as services are provided under the contract.

Nick Pointon
CFO at Arqit

Going forward, we expect less further impact from the transition from enterprise sales to SaaS sales as the shift is now largely complete. Revenue from the Arqit SKA Platform as a Service and Arqit Network Secure products totaled $52,400. Professional services and maintenance revenue in support of contract activity was $14,500 for the period. For the comparable period in fiscal year 2024, Arqit SKA Platform as a Service and Arqit Network Secure contract revenue totaled $65,000, and professional services and maintenance in support of contract activity was $54,000. Arqit SKA Platform revenue for the period was generated from contracts with six customers. For the six months ended 31 March 2024, the revenue was generated for contracts with nine customers. Four contracts represent a license for SKA Platform as a Service.

Nick Pointon
CFO at Arqit

Two such contracts represent multi-year recurring revenue contracts, specifically our contract in EMEA and our contract with a tier one telecom network operator. We began recognizing revenue under both contracts immediately before the close of the first half period. Two of our six revenue-generating contracts were for Arqit Network Secure licenses. Two contracts for Arqit SKA Platform as a Service have professional services and maintenance contracts attached to them. It is our expectation that future SKA Platform as a Service contracts will similarly have professional services and maintenance contracts attached. Our administrative expenses equate to operating costs for those more familiar with US GAAP. Administrative expenses for the first half of fiscal year 2025 were $18 million versus $16.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal year 2024.

Nick Pointon
CFO at Arqit

The variance between periods was due to a lower headcount resulting in lower staff expenses and share-based compensation, and a reduction in property costs as a result of the termination of Arqit's previous office lease arrangement being more than offset by unfavorable changes in foreign exchange. Arqit's headcount as of 31 March 2025 was 72 employees, as compared to 125 as of 31 March 2024. Administrative expenses for the period include a $1.3 million credit for a non-cash charge associated with share-based compensation versus a $293,000 credit for the comparable period in 2024. Operating loss for the period was $17.8 million versus a loss of $16.6 million for the first half of fiscal year 2024. The variance in operating loss between the periods primarily reflects lower revenue and an increase in administrative expenses for the period. For the period, loss before tax from continuing operations was $17.2 million.

Nick Pointon
CFO at Arqit

For the first half of fiscal year 2024, loss before tax from continuing operations was $16.1 million. The variance between periods is primarily due to lower revenue, increased administrative expenses, lower finance income offset by lower finance costs. As of 31 March 2024, the company had cash and cash equivalents to hand of $24.8 million. With that, I turn the call back to Andy.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Thank you, Nick. I want to thank you for joining us today. My final comment is that we believe momentum is building for Arqit. Market awareness of the need for quantum-safe encryption is growing. Awareness of our product is growing as well. Partners are selling Arqit-enabled solutions to their customers. Leading technology players are actively integrating our encryption software into applications to address market needs. The breadth and depth of discussions with additional potential partners is significant.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

All indicators are pointing in a positive direction for the company. Thank you again, and with that, I hand the call back over to the operator for Q&A.

Operator

Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. If you have a question, please press star one, one on your touch-tone phone. If you wish to be removed from the queue, please press star one, one again. If you are using a speakerphone, you may need to pick up the handset first before pressing the numbers. Once again, if you have a question, please press star one, one on your touch-tone phone. One moment for our first question. Our first question comes from Scott Buck with HC Wainwright. Your line is open.

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

Hi, good morning, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Andy, there was a lot to digest there.

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

The deals that closed at or near the end of the fiscal period, are they currently generating revenue today? Are these under multi-year contracts for the most part or shorter periods?

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Hey, Scott. Appreciate the question. Thank you. Let me tackle that. As we mentioned in the earnings release, the contract with the tier one network operators is for three years. The initial size of the contract minimizes its risk. We expect the contract will grow materially as it signs up end users. We noted that it is already engaged with three significant end users, as I mentioned, and we expect to revisit the contract relatively soon. As for the DOD contract, it is a one-year contract. A successful completion of the contract could lead to opportunity.

Scott Buck

Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

Great. I am curious on the sales team. It sounds like you guys have been doing some hiring there.

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

What type of folks are you hiring? What industries are they coming from? And generally, how long does it take to get a new sales hire up to speed? Hello?

Nick Pointon

This is Nick Pointon. I feared Andy may have lost reception. Just bear with us, please, Scott.

Scott Buck

Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

Of course, Nick. Thank you.

Nick Pointon
CFO at Arqit

I see he's trying to get back in. He's back on, I think. Andy, are you there now?

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

I am. I'm not even sure where I cut off. Apologies. My line dropped. It dropped at the end of Scott's first question, your answer to your first question. Scott, will you please repeat the second question regarding the sales per year?

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

Yeah. Yeah, of course. Andy, it sounds like you guys have been active in hiring on the sales side. I'm curious, what types of people have you been hiring? What industries are they coming from?

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

Generally, how long does it take to get a new hire up to speed?

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Yeah. Hey, great question, Scott. If you think to what I just talked to in the release there, the early salespeople are the people that have really proved out a lot of these use cases. I said that, for instance, the telco operator was a 14-month cycle from start to end. These people have really had to roll their sleeves up and get to work in figuring a lot of things out. Now that the majority of that is done, we can hire more commercially available salespeople because we have a blueprint and a salesbook for that. The first-of-type operators for each space in each region and each vertical, of course, they need to figure out the use cases and everything around compliance, how it fits in the infrastructure, etc., etc.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Behind that, then, we're starting to hire people that know that vertical very well so they can talk the language of the customer. For instance, in the US now, we're looking at filling roles around telco, and we'll be looking to fill roles more around defense. These are people that are well-versed and deep operators in those sectors. We have a number of open roles which we're actively recruiting for within our operating plan to start capitalizing all that inbound that we saw at the RSA show recently in San Francisco. Hopefully, that helps.

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

Yeah, absolutely. As you guys start stacking these contract wins, it sounds like the sales cycle is starting to compress a little bit.

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

How much of that do you attribute to your ability to sell versus kind of broader market interest and maybe even a little bit of fear of missing out by some of the folks that are not as quick to move?

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Yeah. I think for us, we talked about earlier a kind of pay-as-you-grow model. I think it really aligns the two of us as in the customer, but then it also allows them in this B2B2B model to align with their end customer, particularly in telco. We spent a lot of time trying to remove the friction in the sales model such that incremental contracts, particularly around consumption of our services, so you think about things such as endpoints or the number of keys generated, make it as easy as possible for them to incrementally sign up and absorb incremental capacity under the existing contracts.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

For renewal upsizing, we make it as easy as possible. Once we're in the estate of an existing customer, broaden our footprint, we think we're making it as easy as possible. We have technical familiarity with the customer's architecture, so implementation becomes more of a blueprint. I want to stress we're a software company, not a professional services company, so we want to make that implementation as smooth and as simple as possible. We really believe we are probably one of the best in the market at that in terms of just embedding our tech into more complex customer environments. As for new customers, being able to point to existing customers and having precedent implementation blueprints makes the initial sale easier than in the past.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

As I just talked about for the new salespeople, that should compress sales cycles substantially from the first-of-type 14-month in telco, for instance. That being said, any new customer will still want to feel comfortable that when they're adopting new technology, particularly into their critical infrastructure, that the new technology is properly tested before it's adopted. All that said, we do believe the bigger picture is we're going to see shorter sales cycles as we move forward, which means it speeds up that adoption and rhetoric cycle. I called it a course of bricks, and I kind of think of subscription revenue recognition that way as you layer it on the course of bricks, especially if they're multi-year agreements, because then you've got the out years and that deferred revenue to take as well.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

It just builds and builds and builds rather than the older world, which we've moved away from, which is these very big one-off perpetual licenses, which had a lot of friction commercially and had a lot of friction to adopt and were just causing a slowdown in the market. We believe this new model is really to the benefit of us and the customers.

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

No, that makes a lot of sense. Your Intel partnership on confidential computing, how should investors think about how that can be monetized?

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

We're working on a number of different use cases, and I mentioned some of them in the earlier part of the call, which is really, for us, if you think about any large enterprise, and even in federal defense as well, they have substantial investments in cloud infrastructure, and now they have substantial investments in AI as well.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

We feel we're the common thread and common wrapper that enables them to take advantage of those existing investments, but basically protect themselves from the emerging quantum threat. Intel is a fabulous partner for us, and I cannot speak more highly of the work we're doing with them. We feel like we've really clicked into a great rhythm with them, and we have a very common view of kind of this emerging confidential compute space. They believe it's going to be a big additive for their business, and we believe that as well. Now being able to adopt the new public cloud infrastructures, multi-cloud infrastructures, AI, LLMs, etc., and not have to worry about that threat of quantum is a big weight off their shoulders. Again, we make this as easy to consume as possible.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

I'm running on chip in the TDX Enclave, which Intel have provided in the new generation of devices, means that we're exactly where it's needed as well. You can see the footprint of our technology is small enough to fit in there, but powerful enough to protect against all of those different variables I talked about. We're thrilled with the work we're doing with Intel.

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

That's perfect. Last one, if I can squeeze in. Nick, given the momentum in the business on the sales side, do you expect any increase in OpEx to support some of these new contracts you signed towards the end of the period? Just want to understand what the operating leverage could look like here as the business scales. Okay.

Nick Pointon
CFO at Arqit

I think the main thing to mention is our headcount is down materially from a year ago, and we've kind of repositioned our employee base to increase the focus on customer fulfillment as we have been winning customer contracts and expect more to come. We are currently sufficiently staffed for the near term. We do have a handful of budgeted open positions, as Andy mentioned earlier, that we are looking to fill, but we have no plans for meaningful growth in headcount at this time. In terms of other operating costs, we do not see significant growth over the near term. Our trailing monthly cash burn has been around $2.2 million-$2.4 million, and we expect that to stay around that level for a meaningful amount of time. Does that give you what you need?

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

Yeah, no, that's very helpful. Okay.

Scott Buck
Scott Buck
Managing Director of Equity Research and Technology at H.C. Wainwright

I appreciate the added color, guys. Thank you very much, and congrats on all the momentum in the business.

Andy Leaver
CEO at Arqit

Thank you, Scott. Appreciate the questions.

Operator

Thank you. We have no further questions at this time. Now, I'll turn the call back over to Andy Leaver for closing remarks. Andy?

Andy Leaver
