NOTE 2 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and consequently have been condensed and do not include all disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies

Other than policies noted herein, there have been no material changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets related to unbilled services and deferred charges which are now presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets. Additionally, the Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations related to selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, and other expense which is now presented within selling, general, and administrative expenses. As further discussed in Note 3 –Equity, all per share amounts and common share amounts have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances across a diversified portfolio of global financial institutions that exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Amounts included in restricted cash represent those required to be set aside by a contractual agreement as collateral for the Company’s credit card program. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents:

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and marketing expenses consist of advertising and payroll related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, business development and selling activities. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of maintenance on proprietary products (contract liabilities), customer telephone support services (contract liabilities) and deposits for future consulting services that will be earned as such services are performed over the contractual or stated period, which generally ranges from three to twelve months. As of September 30, 2024, there were $519,200 in deferred maintenance and support services and $2.3 million in deposits for future consulting services. As of December 31, 2023, there were $943,000 in maintenance and support services, and $2.2 million in deposits for future consulting services.

Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The Company’s current financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities.

Property and Equipment

The following is a summary of property and equipment, net:

As of
(in thousands)September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Leasehold improvements$99$166
Equipment, furniture, and fixtures4,1593,943
Property and equipment4,2584,109
Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization(3,802)(3,606)
Property and equipment, net$456$503

Depreciation expense related to these assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $56,400 and $198,200, respectively, compared with $75,300 and $253,400 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the equity award’s grant date fair value. For grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) subject to service-based vesting conditions, the fair value is established based on the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. For grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“pRSUs”) subject to market-based vesting conditions, the fair value is established using a Monte Carlo simulation lattice model. The determination of the fair value of share-based awards is affected by the Company’s stock price and a number of assumptions, including volatility, performance period, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The grant date fair value of each RSU is amortized over the requisite service period.

Recent Authoritative Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosure.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information related to income taxes paid to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU will be effective beginning with the Company's 2025 annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which updates the required disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 requires that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. ASU 2023-07 additionally requires that a public entity with a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update and all existing segment disclosures. This ASC is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and will be effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280—General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock. This update requires the: i) disclosure and presentation of income or loss related to common stock transactions on the face of the income statement, ii) modification of the existing classification and measurement of redeemable preferred shares and redeemable equity-classified shares, and iii) modification of accounting treatment for stock-based compensation. The FASB has not set an effective date for ASU 2023-03 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2023-03 on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 3 –EQUITY

Investment Agreement

On April 14, 2024, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) among the Company, JPE and the other investors party thereto (collectively, the "Investors"), providing for, among other things, an aggregate investment by the Investors of $1.0 billion in cash in the Company. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), which are initially convertible into an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.566 per share and issued and sold warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock (the "Warrants"). Additionally, we amended the Company’s certificate of incorporation to, among other things, effect an 8:1 reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Investment Agreement and related transactions closed on June 6, 2024 (the “Equity Investment”) and generated gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion before deducting fees and offering expenses.

Following the closing of the Equity Investment, the Board of Directors of the Company was reconstituted such that: i) the number of seats on the Board was designated by JPE, ii) each of the directors (including Mr. Jacobs) was designated by JPE, iii) each standing committee of the Board was reconstituted in a manner designated by JPE, and iv) Mr. Jacobs was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock

On June 6, 2024, under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $1.0 thousand per share, for an aggregate initial liquidation preference of $1 billion. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, in whole or in part and from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof into a number of shares of common stock equal to the then-applicable liquidation preference divided by the conversion price, which initially is $4.566 per share of common stock (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are initially convertible into an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split). The Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable or subject to any required offer to purchase.

The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, senior to the Company’s common stock. Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of the Company’s common stock on an “as-converted” basis on all matters, except as otherwise required by law. In addition, the approval of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, will be required for certain matters set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Convertible Preferred Stock.

Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock are payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company at the rate per annum of 9% per share on the then-applicable liquidation preference (subject to certain exceptions in the event that the Company pays dividends on shares of its common stock). During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company paid $9.8 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the close of the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company paid $22.5 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock.

Warrants

The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Warrants is 219,010,074 shares. The Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time until June 6, 2034. The Warrants have an exercise price of $4.566 per share of common stock with respect to 50% of the Warrants, $6.849 per share of common stock with respect to 25% of the Warrants, and $13.698 per share of common stock with respect to the remaining 25% of the Warrants.

Each Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the issuance date and on or before the expiration date at the election of the holder (in such holder’s sole discretion) by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the holder will be entitled to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient of the product of the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) of a share of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the holder elects to exercise its Warrant, less the adjusted exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant, divided by the aforementioned Closing Sale Price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the holder elects to exercise its Warrant.

Equity Investment Dividend

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company declared a $17.4 million aggregate cash dividend to its stockholders of record as of the day before the closing of the Equity Investment. The dividend was paid on June 12, 2024 from proceeds received by the Company from the Equity Investment.

Reverse Stock Split

On June 6, 2024, as contemplated by the Investment Agreement, the Company effected an 8:1 Reverse Stock Split, which reduced the Company's issued and outstanding share count of common stock from 5,315,581 to 664,284 shares (par value $0.00001 per share). The Company has recast all share and per-share data and amounts to show the effects of the Reverse Stock Split.

Private Placements

On June 13, 2024, the Company entered into purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 340,932,212 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.14 per share, and pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase 42,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.13999 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of $0.00001 per share, is exercisable immediately and until the Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full. The closing of the issuance and sale of these securities was consummated on July 19, 2024, and generated gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 billion before deducting agent fees and offering expenses.

On July 22, 2024, we entered into additional purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 67,833,699 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.14 per share.

NOTE 4 –EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as a participating security in accordance with ASC 260. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings (loss) per share for common shares and participating securities. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation include pre-funded warrants as the pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration. Both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share are adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the Reverse Stock Split as discussed in Note 2 –Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.

NOTE 8 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable, and does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which it is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11 –EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

At the special meeting of the Company's stockholders on May 30, 2024, the stockholders approved the QXO, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”).

As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested pRSUs was $161.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.72 years.

The fair value of the RSUs with a market condition was determined on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo model to simulate total stockholder return for the Company and peer companies with the following assumptions

Performance Period4.42 years
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate4.03%
Weighted-average expected volatility40%
Weighted-average dividend yield0%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with a term equal to the expected term of the pRSU in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the stock of the Company’s peer industry group.

As of September 30, 2024, there were 8.3 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2024 Plan.

The RSUs and pRSUs may vest in whole or in part before the applicable vesting date if the grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the grantee with good reason (as defined in the grant agreement), upon death or disability of the grantee or in the event of a change in control of the Company. Upon vesting, the RSUs and pRSUs result in the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock after required tax withholdings. The holders of the RSUs and pRSUs do not have the rights of a stockholder and do not have voting rights until shares are issued and delivered in settlement of the awards.
