BRANFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2025-- Quantum-Si Incorporated (Nasdaq: QSI) (“Quantum-Si,” “QSI” or the “Company”), a proteomics technology company redefining protein analysis through single-molecule detection, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Press Release Highlights

• Reported revenue of $552,000 for the third quarter of 2025
• Announced successful sequencing runs on a prototype Proteus system. The development program remains on track.
• Highlighted early success with instrument placement program, providing increased access to academic customers
• Highlighted recent launch and benefits of version 4 Sequencing Kit
• Confirmed version 3 Library Prep Kit for low input samples remains on track for launch before year-end 2025

“During the third quarter we launched a range of instrument acquisition options to help overcome the headwinds associated with the NIH funding uncertainty and our results thus far have been promising,” said Jeff Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quantum-Si. “In addition to placements of Platinum Pro through traditional capital sales in the quarter, our instrument placement program allowed us to deploy our sequencing technology to several new academic customers who were previously unable to acquire the platform in the current capital spending environment. Increasing the number of customers utilizing our technology is expected to help us fulfill the goals of driving greater awareness, enabling studies that will drive publications, and capturing consumable volume and revenue. As we move forward, we will continue to use a mix of instrument acquisition options to increase the awareness of our technology and build momentum towards our future Proteus platform launch.”

Hawkins continued, “On the development front, we continue to achieve goals that we have set for ourselves, including delivering on the version 4 Sequencing Kit launch in early September and remaining on track for our version 3 Library Prep Kit launch before year end. Finally, we achieved a major milestone by demonstrating successful sequencing on a prototype Proteus system and remain on track to deliver this transformative platform in second half of 2026. We will have updates on all these initiatives, as well as a deeper dive into our Proteus platform development program and future roadmap at our Investor and Analyst Day on November 19^th.”
