Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Current report

QXO, Inc. (“QXO”, “we”, or the “Company”) was formerly known as SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (“SilverSun”). On June 6, 2024, we changed the Company’s name from SilverSun to QXO and changed its ticker symbol on Nasdaq from SSNT to QXO, upon completing a $1.0 billion cash investment in SilverSun by Jacobs Private Equity II, LLC (“JPE”) and certain minority co-investors. Refer to Note 3 -Equity of Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report for further details about the investment and related changes to our capital structure. On January 17, 2025, the Company transferred the listing of its common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “common stock”), from Nasdaq to the NYSE. The Company’s listing and trading of the common stock on Nasdaq ended at market close on January 16, 2025. The Company’s common stock began trading on the NYSE on January 17, 2025.

Current report

QXO, Inc. is a technology solutions and professional services company that helps businesses manage and monetize their enterprise assets. We do this through our operations, which provide critical software applications, consulting and other professional services, including specialized programming, training and technical support. Our customers are primarily small and mid-sized companies in the manufacturing, distribution and service industries.

Current report

Our strategy is to create a tech-forward leader in the $800 billion building products distribution industry with the goal of generating outsized stockholder value through accretive acquisitions and organic growth, including greenfield openings and operational transformation of acquired businesses. We are executing our strategy toward a target of tens of billions of dollars of annual revenue in the next decade.

Current report

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Current report

The following tables set forth our results of operations for the periods presented and express the relationship of certain line items as a percentage of net sales for those periods. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of future results:

Current report

Our consolidated net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $2.4 million or 4.3% compared with the same period in the prior year. Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased across our lines of business as we grew our customer base through strategic acquisitions and continued renewals of our subscription-based services. Specifically, software product revenue increased as we expanded our Sage Intacct and Acumatica product lines, and service revenue increased as we expanded our hosting application services and consulting practices.

Current report

Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $1.0 million or 3.2% associated with the increase in revenue, compared with the same period in the prior year. Margin increased to 40.3%, compared with 39.6% for the same period in the prior year, as we expanded our product offerings in newly acquired lines of business to grow our customer base.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $70.8 million or 320.6%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year increases in operating expenses are primarily due to: i) salary and expense and share-based compensation associated with the new senior management team put in place to execute our expansive growth plan, ii) the severance payment contemplated in the Investment Agreement for Mark Meller and, iii) certain transaction costs associated with the private placements and our strategic plan.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $0.2 million or 19.4%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year increases are attributed to higher amortization expense associated with the acquisition of JCS in 2023.

Current report

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $121.9 million, compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase is attributed to the interest earned on our cash position due to the cash infusion from the Equity Investment (as defined below) and the private placements that closed in July 2024.

Current report

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed here and elsewhere in this Annual Report Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation; income tax (benefit) provision; interest (income) expense; transaction costs; transformation costs; severance costs and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operations. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating QXO’s ongoing performance.

Current report

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA facilitates analysis of our ongoing business operations because it excludes items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, QXO’s core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying business. Other companies may calculate this non-GAAP financial measure differently, and therefore our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance.

Current report

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, net income (loss), and our other GAAP results.

Current report

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

Current report

The year-over-year decline for the year ended December 31, 2024 Adjusted EBITDA was due to higher employee-related costs, reflecting the introduction of a new senior management team to execute the Company’s expansive growth plan.

Current report

On June 6, 2024, we closed the Equity Investment under the Investment Agreement that we entered into on April 14, 2024 among the Company, JPE and certain minority investors. 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 were initially convertible into an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.566 per share, and we issued and sold warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). Upon closing, the Equity Investment generated gross proceeds of $1.0 billion, before deducting agent fees and offering expenses. For more information on the Investment Agreement, refer to Note 3 -Equityof Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report.

Current report

On June 13, 2024, we 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.

Current report

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. The closing of the issuance and sale of these securities was consummated on July 25, 2024, and generated gross proceeds of approximately $620 million, before deducting agent fees and offering expenses.

Current report

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, we declared a $17.4 million special cash dividend to its stockholders of record as of the day before the closing of the Equity Investment. The dividend was paid from proceeds received from the Equity Investment. Under the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, dividends are paid quarterly when, as and if declared by the Board, at the rate per annum of 9% per share. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid $32.3 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the close of the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid an additional $22.5 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock.

Current report

The Company’s cash balance was $5.1 billion as of December 31, 2024 and consisted primarily of cash on deposit with banks and investments in money market funds. We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements in light of our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. We believe that our existing liquidity and sources of capital are sufficient to support our operations over the next 12 months.

Current report

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $84.3 million, compared with the prior year. The year-over-year increase is attributed to interest income earned in the period offset by higher personnel costs associated with the execution of the Company’s strategy as contemplated in the Investment Agreement.

Current report

Cash used in investing activities decreased by $298,000, compared with the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease relates to assets purchased from JCS Computer Resource Corporation (“JCS”) during 2023 for $278,500 that did not exist during 2024. Investment in capital expenditures is mainly associated with IT equipment to support the business.

Current report

Cash provided by financing activities was $5.0 billion, compared with $2.1 million of cash used in financing activities in the prior year. The year-over-year increase is attributed to the Equity Investment of June 6, 2024 and the private placements in July 2024. The Company paid the common stock dividend, the preferred stock dividend, and paid its long-term debt obligations with proceeds from these investments.

Previous report

SilverSun Technologies, Inc. is engaged in providing transformational business management applications and technologies and professional consulting services to small and medium size companies, primarily in the manufacturing, distribution and service industries.

Previous report

We are executing a multi-pronged business strategy centered on recurring revenue, customer retention and on rapidly increasing the size of our installed customer base. The growth of our customer base is accomplished via our traditional marketing programs and acquisitions. After a customer is secured, our strategy is to up-sell and cross-sell, providing the customer with advanced technologies and third-party add-ons that help them digitally transform their business. These add-on products could include application hosting, cybersecurity, warehouse management, human capital management, payment automation, sales tax compliance or any number of other products or services that we represent. Many of these incremental products and services are billed on a subscription basis, often paying monthly for the service, which increases our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”). This strategy increases the average revenue per customer, which facilitates our continued growth, and reduces our cost of customer acquisition, which enhances our profitability profile.

Previous report

We also are resellers of the WMS software, which develops warehouse management software for middle market distributors. The primary purpose of a WMS is to control the movement and storage of materials within an operation and process the associated transactions. Directed picking, directed replenishment, and directed put-away are the key to WMS. The detailed setup and processing within a WMS can vary significantly from one software vendor to another. However, the basic WMS will use a combination of item, location, quantity, unit of measure and order information to determine where to stock, where to pick, and in what sequence to perform these operations. The WMS software improves accuracy and efficiency, streamlines materials handling, meets retail compliance requirements, and refines inventory control. WMS also works as part of a complete operational solution by integrating seamlessly with RF hardware, accounting software, shipping systems and warehouse automation equipment. We market the WMS solution to our new and existing medium-sized business clients.

Previous report

Investing in the acquisition of other companies and proprietary business management solutions has been an important growth strategy for our Company, allowing us to rapidly expand into new geographic markets and create new and exciting profit centers.

Previous report

Additionally, it is our intention to continue to increase our business by seeking additional opportunities through potential acquisitions, revenue sharing arrangements, partnerships or investments. Such acquisitions, revenue sharing arrangements, partnerships or investments may consume cash reserves or require additional cash or equity. Our working capital and additional funding requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including: (i) strategic acquisitions or investments; (ii) an increase to current company personnel; (iii) the level of resources that we devote to sales and marketing capabilities; (iv) technological advances; and (v) the activities of competitors.

Previous report

Previous report

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $9,531,665 (21.2%) to $54,516,941 as compared to $44,985,276 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase is mostly attributed to increases in professional consulting services and software.

Previous report

Software sales increased by $2,329,411 (19.8%) to $14,110,773 in 2023 from $11,781,362 in 2022. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in our ERP software sales, especially for Acumatica and Sage Intacct.

Previous report

Service revenue increased by $7,202,254 (21.7%) to $40,406,168 in 2023 from $33,203,914 in 2022. This increase is mainly attributed to the increase in professional services, especially for our Acumatica, Sage 100, and Sage Intacct products, as well as an increase in revenue in our hosting services. Recruiting in 2022 was a difficult challenge, but our efforts to increase our consulting staff with additional resources, as well as system improvements, has yielded a positive result in our financial performance. We have also utilized some outside contractors to assist in projects because of our growth.

Previous report

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $3,653,073 (20.3%) to $21,613,809, as compared to $17,960,736 for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the overall gross profit percentage was 39.6%, as compared to 39.9% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Previous report

The gross profit attributed to software sales increased $894,448 (19.0%) to $5,598,006 for 2023 from $4,703,558 in 2022, which is due mostly to the increased volume of software sold. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the gross profit percentage for software was 39.7%, as compared to 39.9 % for the year ended December 31, 2022. While revenues may decrease because of the shift to a subscription-based business model, our margins will, for the most part, not significantly change. The mix of products being sold by the Company changes from time to time, which can cause the overall gross margin percentage to vary.

Previous report

The gross profit attributed to services increased $2,758,625 (20.8%) to $16,015,803 for 2023 from $13,257,178 in 2022. This increase is attributed to revenue increases in professional services and application hosting. For the year ended December 31, 2023 the gross profit percentage for services was 39.6% as compared to 39.9% for the year ended December 31, 2022. This change in gross profit percentage is mostly due to higher costs associated with increasing pay and benefits to employees to retain and recruit their services and to address inflationary pressures in the overall economy, plus the training of new employees, who were hired to accommodate our growth, and who are not as yet as billable as our more experienced team.

Previous report

Selling and marketing expenses increased $1,107,474 (14.3%) to $8,852,739 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $7,745,265 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase is primarily due to increased salary increases, new personnel, higher commissions to employees as a result of the increased revenues, as well as increased travel expenses associated with attendance at trade shows and conferences.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses increased $745,532 (7.9%) to $10,217,157 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $9,471,625 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase is a result of salary increases and increased accrued compensation, travel and entertainment, professional and license fees, offset partially by a decrease in credit card fees, lower rent and recruitment expenses.

Previous report

Share-based compensation decreased $138,763 (77.0%) to $41,497 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $180,260 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the issuance of certain stock options in 2021 that were all expensed as these stock options were immediately vested.

Previous report

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $828,157 as compared to $948,965 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This $120,808 (12.7%) increase is primarily due to the additional amortization of intangible assets related to the new acquisitions.

Previous report

As a result of the above, the Company had net income from operations of $1,674,259 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to a loss from operations of $385,379 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Previous report

These expenses are recorded as Deal Costs in the accompanying statement of operations in Other Expense.

Previous report

State provision requirements were calculated based on the estimated tax rate. The Federal effective rate is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the non-cash share-based compensation related to the issuance of stock options which are not tax deductible.
