[10-Q] XBP Global Holdings, Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report
XBP Global Holdings (XBP) filed its Q3 2025 report reflecting fresh start accounting after acquiring Exela Technologies BPA and emerging from Chapter 11 on July 29, 2025. The Successor period (Aug 1–Sep 30, 2025) shows revenue of $152.4 million and a net loss of $305.8 million, driven by a $295.8 million goodwill impairment.
As of September 30, 2025, total assets were $947.9 million and total liabilities were $817.4 million, resulting in stockholders’ equity of $130.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $34.5 million with an additional $29.7 million of restricted cash. Long‑term debt (net of current) was $346.6 million, and current portion of long‑term debt was $34.9 million.
The company now reports two segments: Applied Workflow Automation and Technology. In the Successor period, the U.S. generated $123.4 million of total revenue. Post‑restructuring ownership is dispersed; as of September 30, 2025 ETI held approximately 29.1%, Gates Capital Management approximately 25.7%, and Avenue Capital approximately 9.8%, in each case, assuming the exercise of all warrants held by the Consenting ETI Parties. Common shares outstanding were 117,515,972.
- Fresh start balance sheet: equity at $130.5M vs prior deficit; long‑term debt (net) at $346.6M with $34.9M current.
- Large non‑cash hit: goodwill impairment of $295.8M drove a Successor period net loss of $305.8M.

XBP Global applied fresh start accounting after the
Operations for the Successor period delivered revenue of
Ownership dispersion reduces prior control concentration. Actual near‑term performance will hinge on segment execution under the new structure; the filing quantifies initial revenue mix and the non‑cash impairment that affected earnings in the reset period.

On July 29, 2025, the Company finalized its acquisition of Exela Technologies BPA, LLC (n/k/a XBP Americas, LLC)(collectively with its subsidiaries, “BPA,” and such acquisition, the “Business Combination”) pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 3, 2025 (the “MIPA”).

Ltd., SourceHOV LLC, TRAC Holdings, LLC, TransCentra, Inc., and United Information Services, Inc. and (ii) the following affiliates of BPA: Exela Enterprise Solutions, Inc., NEON Acquisition, LLC, Novitex Enterprise Solutions Canada, Inc. and Reaktr LLC.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. (now XBP Global) was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes even though BPA survives as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of XBP Global.
Chapter 11 Reorganization
On March 3, 2025 (the “Petition Date”), BPA along with certain affiliates (the “BPA Debtors”) commenced the Chapter 11 Cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On April 16, 2025 the BPA Debtors entered into a Plan Support Agreement (as amended, the “Plan Support Agreement”) with an ad hoc group of holders (the “Ad Hoc Group”) of certain
On July 29, 2025 (the “Emergence Date”), BPA consummated the Restructuring and emerged from bankruptcy having satisfied or waived all the conditions set forth in the Plan. In accordance with ASC 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), BPA was required to apply fresh start accounting upon its emergence from bankruptcy. The Company evaluated transaction activity of BPA between the Emergence Date and July 31, 2025 and concluded that an accounting convenience date of July 31, 2025 (the “Convenience Date”) was appropriate for the adoption of fresh start accounting which resulted in BPA becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of the Convenience Date.

Basis of Presentation
Financial information prior to the Emergence Date is referred to as “Predecessor” company information, which reflects the combined historical financial statements of BPA prepared using BPA’s previous combined basis of accounting. The financial information beginning August 1, 2025 is referred to as “Successor” company information and reflects the consolidated financial statements of XBP Global, including the financial statement effects of recording fair value adjustments and the capital structure resulting from the Business Combination and fresh start accounting of BPA.

Table of Contents
Black lines have been drawn to separate the Successor’s financial information from that of the Predecessor since their financial statements are not comparable as a result of the application of acquisition accounting and the Company’s capital structure resulting from the Business Combination and fresh start accounting of BPA.
Successor:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, includes the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and statement of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows of XBP Global. All significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s unaudited financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The unaudited results of operations and cash flows for the period from August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that may be expected for the remainder of 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined and consolidated financial statements of the accounting acquirer and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included on pages F-126 through F-171 in the Company’s Proxy Statement Pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the SEC on July 15, 2025.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Predecessor:
The condensed combined and consolidated BPA financial statements (the “BPA financial statements”) include the accounts of the wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates of BPA (as listed above). Throughout fiscal 2024 and the period January 1, 2025 to the Petition Date that are covered by the BPA financial statements, BPA operated as part of ETI. The accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements have been prepared from ETI’s historical accounting records and are presented on a stand-alone basis as if BPA’s operations had been conducted independently from ETI. The operations of BPA are in various legal entities either with a direct ownership relationship or affiliate relationship through ETI. Accordingly, ETI and its subsidiaries’ net parent investment in these operations is shown in lieu of a statement of member’s equity in the combined and consolidated financial statements. The combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes to the combined and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The consolidated and combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss include all revenues and costs directly attributable to BPA, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by BPA. Costs for certain functions and services delivered by ETI are directly charged to BPA based on specific identification when possible or based on a reasonable allocation driver or other allocation methods. Current and deferred income taxes have been determined based on the stand-alone results of BPA. However, because BPA filed as part of ETI’s tax group in certain jurisdictions, BPA’s actual tax balances may differ from those reported. BPA’s portion of its domestic and certain income taxes for jurisdictions outside the United States are deemed to have been settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded.
All intercompany transactions and balances within BPA have been eliminated. The Predecessor financial statements include assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable
12
Table of Contents
to BPA. Transactions with affiliated companies owned by ETI or its subsidiaries which are not a part of BPA are reflected as related party transactions.
All of the allocations and estimates in the combined and consolidated financial statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, the combined and consolidated financial statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of BPA if BPA had been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
Actual costs that would have been incurred if BPA had been a stand-alone business would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions.
As described below, as a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the combined and consolidated financial statements after the Emergence Date are not comparable with the combined and consolidated financial statements on or before the Emergence Date. Refer to Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting, for additional information.
As part of Business Combination, the Company reevaluated its segment reporting, resulting in the presentation of two businesses: Applied Workflow Automation and Technology.
| ● | Applied Workflow Automation. The Applied Workflow Automation segment provides services powered by intelligent, AI-enabled workflows that generate outcomes for clients’ mission critical systems. Revenue primarily stems from transactions processed and includes payment processing, data capture, analysis, decisioning, distribution and transformation across industries and the public and private sectors, primarily in Americas and Europe, and increasingly in Asia. The Applied Workflow Automation segment includes the Company’s Bills & Payments, healthcare industry solutions, on-site enterprise solutions, integrated communications and enterprise legal management business units which serve leading banks, payers and providers, utilities as well as federal, regional and local government entities. |
| ● | Technology. The Technology segment focuses on the sale of recurring and perpetual software licenses, software maintenance and professional services, as well as hardware solutions and maintenance. The Company offers an industry-agnostic and cross-departmental suite of products, with primary focus on scalable workflows leveraging AI through neural networks together with deep domain expertise. The Company also offers industry specific platforms for the banking and healthcare industries. |
Prior periods have been recast to reflect the Company's current segment presentation. See Note 15, Segment Information.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation.
Net Profit (Loss) per Share
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net profit (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, using the more dilutive of the two-class method and the if-converted method in the period of earnings. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share (when there are earnings) for common stock and participating securities. The if-converted method assumes all convertible securities are converted into common stock. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.
As the Company experienced a net loss for the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, the Company did not include the effect of

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The information presented below supplements the Significant Accounting Policies information presented in the combined and consolidated financial statements of BPA (as the accounting acquirer) and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included on pages F-126 through F-171 in the Company’s Proxy Statement Pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the SEC on July 15, 2025.
There were changes to accounting policies implemented during the period from August 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025, as described below. These policy changes were made in connection with the adoption of fresh start accounting and the Business Combination. The Company set new accounting policies and updated existing accounting policies for business combinations, segment reporting, restricted cash, impairment of indefinite-lived assets, goodwill and long-lived assets and foreign currency translation. There were no changes to accounting policies during the period from January 1, 2025 through July 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, allowance for expected credit losses, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, employee benefits, equity-based compensation, contingencies, goodwill, intangible assets, right of use assets, pension obligations, pension assets, and asset and liability valuations. The Company regularly assesses these estimates and records changes in estimates in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all equity-classified awards under stock-based compensation plans at their fair value. This fair value is measured at the fair value of the awards at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of the awards on the grant date is determined using the stock price on the respective grant date in the case of restricted stock units and using an option pricing model in the case of stock options. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations.
14
Table of Contents
Business Combinations
The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses acquired as of the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price of acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.
Segment Reporting
The Company consists of
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents which are restricted under contract or otherwise as to withdrawal or usage. These include deposits held for claim payments on behalf of customers or under agreements entered into with others, but exclude compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the use of cash amounts shown on the balance sheet.
Impairment of Indefinite-Lived Assets
The Company conducts its annual indefinite-lived assets impairment tests on October 1st of each year for its indefinite-lived assets, including trade names, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. When performing the impairment test, the Company has the option of performing a qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine if an impairment has occurred. A quantitative assessment requires comparison of the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived assets exceeds fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss by an amount which is equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value. The Company utilizes the “Income Approach,” specifically the “Relief-from-Royalty Method” (“RFR”), which has the basic tenet that a user of an intangible asset would have to make a stream of payments to the owner of the asset in return for the rights to use that asset. Refer to Note 6, Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional discussion of impairment of trade names.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including finite-lived trade names, customer relationships, developed technology, capitalized software costs, outsourced contract costs, acquired software, and property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows based in part on the financial results and the expectation of future performance.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. Goodwill is generally allocated to reporting units based upon relative fair value (taking into consideration other factors such as synergies) when an acquired business is integrated into multiple reporting units. The Company’s reporting units are at the component level, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management. When a business within a reporting unit is disposed of, goodwill is allocated to the disposed business using the relative fair value method.
The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment tests on October 1st of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. When performing the annual impairment test, the Company has the option of performing a qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine if an impairment has occurred. If a qualitative assessment indicates
15
Table of Contents
that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would be required to perform a quantitative impairment analysis for goodwill. The quantitative analysis requires a comparison of fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company uses a combination of the “Guideline Public Company Method of the Market Approach” and the “Discounted Cash Flow Method of the Income Approach” to determine the reporting unit fair value. Refer to Note 6, Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional discussion of the consideration of impairment of goodwill.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries located in India, the Philippines, and Mexico is the United States dollar. All other international subsidiaries’ functional currency is their local currency. These assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date while income and expense amounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are disclosed as a separate component of other comprehensive profit (loss).
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue by first evaluating whether a performance obligation exists. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. All of the Company’s material sources of revenue are derived from contracts with customers, primarily relating to the provision of business and transaction processing services and sales of recurring software licenses and professional services within each of the Company’s segments. The Company does not have any significant extended payment terms, as payment is typically received shortly after goods are delivered or services are provided.
Nature of Services
The Company’s primary performance obligations are to stand ready to provide various forms of workflow automation services, consisting of a series of distinct services, but that are substantially the same, and have the same pattern of transfer over time, and accordingly are combined into a single performance obligation. The Company’s obligation to its customers is typically to perform an unknown or unspecified quantity of tasks and the consideration received is contingent upon the customers’ use (i.e., number of transactions processed, requests fulfilled, etc.); as such, the total transaction price is variable. The Company allocates variable fees to the single performance obligation charged to the distinct service period in which the Company has the contractual right to bill under the contract.
Revenue from the sale of software licenses is recognized as a single performance obligation at the point in time that the software license is delivered to the customer. Perpetual licenses or non-cancelable licenses are granted for a non-refundable fee, which are recognized at a point in time. No significant obligations or contingencies exist with regard to delivery, customer acceptance or rights of return at the time revenue is recognized. Professional services revenue consists of implementation services for new customers, or implementations of new products for existing customers. Professional services are typically sold on a time-and-materials basis and billed monthly based on actual hours incurred.
Revenue from the sale of hardware solutions is recognized on a point in time basis and related maintenance is recognized ratably over the contractual term.
Disaggregation of Revenues
The Company is organized into

Deferred revenues relate to payments received in advance of performance under a contract. A significant portion of this balance relates to maintenance contracts or other service contracts where the Company received payments for upfront conversions or implementation activities which do not transfer a service to the customer but rather are used in fulfilling the related performance obligations that transfer over time. The advance consideration received from customers is deferred over the contract term. The Company recognized revenue of $

Customer deposits consist primarily of amounts received from customers in advance for postage. These advanced postage deposits are used to cover the costs associated with postage, with the corresponding postage revenue being recognized as services are performed.
Performance Obligations
At the inception of each contract, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts and identifies each distinct performance obligation. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts. For the majority of the Company’s business and transaction processing service contracts, revenues are recognized as services are provided based on an appropriate input or output method, typically based on the related labor or transactional volumes.
Certain of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations, including contracts that combine software implementation services with post-implementation customer support. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which the Company estimates its expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and adds an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. The Company also uses the adjusted market approach whereby it estimates the price that customers in the market would be willing to pay. In assessing whether to allocate variable consideration to a specific part of the contract, the Company considers the nature of the variable payment and whether it relates specifically to its efforts to satisfy a specific part of the contract. Certain of the Company’s software implementation performance obligations are deemed satisfied at a point in time, typically when customer acceptance is obtained.
When evaluating the transaction price, the Company analyzes, on a contract-by-contract basis, all applicable variable consideration. The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to variable consideration, including volume discounts, contract penalties, and other similar items that generally decrease the transaction price. The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduces revenues recognized. The Company does not anticipate significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration.
The Company includes reimbursements from customers, such as postage costs, in revenue, while the related costs are included in cost of revenue.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an annual tabular effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure including information for specified categories and jurisdiction levels, as well as, disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and significant foreign jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which amends ASC 470-20 to clarify the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. This ASU is intended to improve the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20 for (a) convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features and (b) debt instruments that are not currently convertible. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statement of operations. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which revises the guidance in ASC 805 on identifying the accounting acquirer in a business
20
Table of Contents
combination in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This ASU is intended to improve comparability between business combinations that involve VIEs and those that do not. Under this ASU, a reporting entity involved in a business combination effected primarily by the exchange of equity interests must consider the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer regardless of whether the legal acquiree is a VIE. More specifically, when considering those factors, the reporting entity can determine that a transaction in which the legal acquiree is a VIE represents a reverse acquisition (in which the legal acquirer is identified as the acquiree for accounting purposes). As a result, comparability is increased with business combinations in which the legal acquiree is a VIE. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods in those years, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to modernize the accounting guidance for the costs to develop software for internal use. The standard applies to costs incurred to develop or obtain software for internal use. ASU 2025-06 amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development project to align better with current software development methods, such as agile programming. Under the new standard, entities will commence capitalizing eligible costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The new standard also supersedes the guidance related to costs incurred to develop a website. The ASU’s amendments are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects or on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Fresh Start Accounting
Upon emergence from the Restructuring, the Predecessor met the criteria and was required to adopt fresh start accounting in accordance with ASC 852, Reorganizations, which on the Emergence Date resulted in a new entity, the Successor, for financial reporting purposes, with no beginning retained earnings or deficit as of the fresh start reporting date. The criteria requiring fresh start accounting are: (1) the holders of the then-existing common shares of the Predecessor received less than 50 percent of the new common shares of the Successor outstanding upon emergence from bankruptcy and (2) the reorganization value of the entity’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.
Fresh start accounting requires that new fair values be established for BPA’s assets, liabilities and equity as of the Emergence Date or the Convenience Date (July 31, 2025, as discussed above), and therefore certain values and operational results of the condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to July 31, 2025 are not comparable to those in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements prior to and including July 31, 2025. The Convenience Date fair values of the Successor’s assets and liabilities differ materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor.
Reorganization Value
The reorganization value derived from the range of enterprise values associated with the Plan was allocated to BPA’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values. Under ASC 852, Reorganization, value generally approximates the fair value of the entity before considering liabilities and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately after the effects of the restructuring. The value of the reconstituted entity (i.e., Successor) was based on management projections and the valuation models as determined by the Company’s financial advisors in setting an estimated range of enterprise values. As set forth in the Disclosure Statement for Joint Plan of Reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the valuation analysis resulted in an enterprise value between $
The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the equity value of the Successor as of the Convenience Date:

Plus: Current liabilities excluding current maturities of long-term debt | | | |
Plus: Non-interest bearing noncurrent liabilities | | | |
Reorganization value of the reconstituted Successor | | $ | |
With the assistance of third-party valuation advisors, the Company determined the enterprise and corresponding equity value of the Successor using various valuation approaches and methods, including: (i) income approach using a
22
Table of Contents
calculation of the present value of future cash flows based on financial projections, (ii) the market approach using selling prices of similar assets and (iii) the cost approach.
The enterprise value and corresponding equity value are dependent upon achieving the future financial results set forth in the Company’s valuation model using an asset-based methodology of estimated financial information, considerations and projections, applying a combination of the income, cost and market approaches as of the Convenience Date. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections, including the fair value adjustments, the financial projections, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially, including variances when presented in the Company’s Form 10-K report for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Reorganization Items, net
Reorganization items represent (i) expenses incurred relating to the Chapter 11 Cases as a direct result of the Plan, (ii) gains or losses from liabilities settled and (iii) fresh start accounting adjustments, and are recorded in “Reorganization items, net” in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations. Contractual interest expense from the Petition Date through the Emergence Date associated with BPA’s 2026 Indentures was accrued or recorded in the condensed combined and consolidated statement of operations in interest expense, net. Professional service provider charges associated with reorganization that were incurred before the Petition Date are recorded in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated and combined statements of operations.

Valuation Process
The fair values of BPA’s principal assets, including trade names, customer relationships, internally developed product suite, leased real property, owned real property and personal property were estimated as of the Emergence Date.
Trade Names
The fair value of trade names was estimated using the RfR method under the income approach. RfR estimates the value of the trade names based on the royalty payments that would be avoided by owning the assets. The analysis considered projected revenues attributable to the trade names over their expected useful life, royalty rates derived from market data for trade names/trademarks in the business services industry, and discount rates reflecting the risk profile of
23
Table of Contents
the cash flows. The royalty savings were tax-affected and discounted to present value using a rate consistent with market participant expectations.
Customer Relationships
The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach. The MPEEM attributes cash flow to a specific intangible asset based on residual cash flows from a set of assets generating revenues after accounting for appropriate returns on and of other assets contributing to that revenue generation. Cash flows were forecasted based on expected revenue from existing customers, adjusted for renewal probabilities/attrition rates, and anticipated operating costs required to service these relationships. After-tax cash flows were discounted using a rate considering the risk of these customers relative to the overall risk of the business.
Internally Developed Product Suite
The fair value of the internally developed product suite was estimated using the replacement cost method under the cost approach. This method estimates the value based on the cost a market participant would incur to recreate the existing internally developed software, adjusted for physical, functional, and economic obsolescence. The analysis considered historical development costs, current labor and overhead rates, and an allowance for developer profit and entrepreneurial incentive. The resulting cost was tax-affected and adjusted to reflect the economic benefits of the software/developed product suite in its current state.
Leased Real Property
The off-market component of the right of use assets (ROUA) was estimated using the Income Approach. Under this approach, the cash flow differential between the contract and market rents for each lease are present valued using a market-derived discount rate. Leases with a present value of contract rent cash flows within
Owned Real Property
The fair values of the buildings and land improvements were estimated via the Cost Approach, and the underlying land was valued via the Sales Comparison Approach.
For the buildings and land improvements, utilizing the direct method of the Cost Approach, the replacement cost new (“RCN”) was estimated using construction cost information obtained from published data sources such as Marshall Valuation Service (for the owned location located in the U.S.) or CBRE market reports as well as publicly available data from Central Public Works Department (for the owned location located in India).
For the land, utilizing the Sales Comparison Approach, comparable land sale data and listings of land for sale were compiled and qualitatively compared to the subject properties. Variances in market conditions at the time of sale, property characteristics, and other relevant factors were considered and analyzed when necessary.
Personal Property
The fair value of the personal property such as machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements, office furniture and equipment, computer hardware and software were estimated using the indirect method of the Cost Approach. Under the indirect method of the Cost Approach, the reproduction cost new (“CRN”) for each asset or group of assets was estimated by indexing historical costs recorded in the Fixed Asset Registers based on asset type and acquisition dates. Given the assets have been in use for a period of time, consideration was given to physical deterioration, economical and functional obsolescence. The estimate of physical deterioration was primarily conducted under the age/life concept. Under this concept, the physical loss in value was attributed to the relationship between the estimated useful life of an asset and its remaining useful life at a given point in time. Hold factors were estimated

depreciation floors used to establish a minimal value for assets remaining in use that have met or exceeded their expected normal useful life (“NUL”). Construction in progress was reported at its cost as of the Convenience Date.

Trade name and trademarks names were valued using the Income Approach, specifically the RfR method. Customer relationships were valued using the Income Approach, specifically the Multi-Period Excess Earnings method. Internally developed software was valued based on the replacement cost method under the cost approach. All of these intangibles acquired represent a Level 3 measurement as they are based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability at fair value.

The Company expects to realize revenue synergies, leverage, brand awareness, stronger margins, greater free cash flow generation, and expand its existing sales channels, and utilize the existing workforce. The Company also anticipates opportunities for growth through the ability to leverage additional future services and capabilities. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of XBP Europe Holdings, Inc.’s identifiable net assets assumed, and as a result, the Company has recorded goodwill in connection with this acquisition. The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to aid management in its analysis of the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

conditions as well as industry and economic factors, among others, for events which could trigger the need for an interim impairment analysis.
During the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, the Company experienced a sustained and significant decline in its market capitalization causing the market capitalization to fall below the Company’s book value after the application of fresh start accounting at Emergence Date. Management concluded that this sustained decline, combined with revised long-term projections compared to those used to compute enterprise value of the reconstituted Successor as set forth in the Disclosure Statement for Joint Plan of Reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court, represented a triggering event under ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for all reporting units as of September 30, 2025.
Company’s interim impairment assessment as of September 30, 2025 utilized Discounted Cash Flow Method of the Income Approach and the Guideline Public Company Method of the Market Approach to determine the reporting units’ fair values. For the Discounted Cash Flow Method, we utilized discounted cash flow projections using market participant weighted average cost of capital calculation. The Guideline Public Company Method utilizes market data of similar publicly traded companies. In connection with the completion of the interim impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $

Events of default include the failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due, the failure to comply with covenants or other agreements in the July 2030 Notes Indenture, defaults on other material indebtedness of the 2030 Notes Issuers or the guarantors, certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, and the entry of material judgments against the 2030 Notes Issuers or the guarantors.

The obligations under the July 2030 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the 2030 Notes Issuers’ U.S. subsidiary guarantors, and are secured by liens on the collateral of the 2030 Notes Issuers and such guarantors, subject to permitted liens and the terms of the Super Senior and Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreements. Under these agreements, the ABL Lenders (as described below) hold first-priority liens on receivables, inventory, cash and related assets, while the Super Senior Term Loan Lenders (as described below) and July 2030 Noteholders hold junior liens on such assets. With respect to fixed assets, equity interests, intellectual property and related assets, the Super Senior Term Loan Lenders and July 2030 Noteholders share equal first-priority liens on a pari passu basis, while the ABL Lenders hold junior liens.
Super Senior Term Loan
On July 29, 2025, Exela Technologies BPA, LLC and Exela Finance Inc.

Pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, BRF Finance Co., LLC’s liens are subordinated to the liens securing the Company’s senior debt facilities specifically, the ABL Facility with respect to receivables, inventory, cash, and related assets, and the Super Senior Term Loan and July 2030 Notes with respect to fixed assets, equity interests, and other non-ABL assets. As a result, the obligations under the Second Lien Note are effectively second-priority liens behind the senior secured debt. The Second Lien Notes requires the borrowers to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis. The minimum required ratio varies depending on the period: for the defined periods tested quarterly through December 31, 2025, and monthly from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, the fixed charge coverage ratio must be not less than

The ABL Facility includes customary affirmative covenants such as reporting, collateral maintenance, insurance, and inspections, and negative covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales, investments, affiliate transactions, and changes in business, with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, tested if excess availability falls below a defined threshold. The ABL Facility requires the ABL Borrowers to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis. The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of EBITDA less Unfinanced Capital Expenditures less Capitalized Software Expenditures, to Fixed Charges (aa such terms are defined in the ABL Facility).

Contract-Related Contingencies
The Company has certain contingent obligations that arise in the ordinary course of providing services to its customers. These contingencies are generally the result of contracts that require the Company to comply with certain performance measurements or the delivery of certain services to customers by a specified deadline. The Company believes the adjustments to the transaction price, if any, under these contract provisions will not result in a significant revenue reversal or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
11. Fair Value Measurement
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The carrying amount of assets and liabilities including current portion of other debt approximated their fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, due to the relative short maturity of these instruments. Management estimated the fair values of the Successor’s July 2030 Notes at approximately

by subsidiaries of the Company and as such, the cost incurred would approximate fair value. Property and equipment, intangible assets, capital lease obligations, and goodwill are not required to be re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis. These assets are evaluated for impairment if certain triggering events occur. If such evaluation indicates that impairment exists, the respective asset is written down to its fair value.
The Company determined the fair value of its long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt using Level 2 inputs, including any recent issuance of the debt, the Company’s credit rating, and the current market rate.
The Company determined the fair value of Private Warrants liability of the Company included in the other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 under Level 3 fair value measurement using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The following table provides the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2024 (Predecessor):

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value of the Private Warrants liability of the Company are assumptions related to the inputs of exercise price, fair value of the underlying Common Stock, risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected volatility, and expected dividend yield. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate would have resulted in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the forecasted financial information would have resulted in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. For all significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Level 3 liabilities, a change in one of the inputs would not necessarily result in a directionally similar change in the fair value.

Table of Contents
Automation segment includes the Company’s Bills & Payments, healthcare industry solutions, on-site enterprise solutions, integrated communications and enterprise legal management business units which serve leading banks, payers and providers, utilities as well as federal, regional and local government entities.
Technology
The Technology segment focuses on the sale of recurring and perpetual software licenses, software maintenance and professional services, as well as hardware solutions and maintenance. The Company offers an industry-agnostic and cross-departmental suite of products, with primary focus on scalable workflows leveraging AI through neural networks together with deep domain expertise. The Company also offers industry specific platforms for the banking and healthcare industries.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews segment profit to evaluate operating segment performance and determine how to allocate resources to operating segments. “Segment profit” is defined as revenue less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The Company does not allocate selling, general, and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net and sundry expenses (income), net to its reporting segments. The Company manages assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment, and therefore asset information and capital expenditures by operating segments are not presented. A reconciliation of segment profit to net loss before income taxes is presented below. Other than cost of revenue, no expenses are tracked, allocated or reported based on segments as the CODM does not review or use financial information below segment profit to manage and direct the resources of the reportable segments.

History
XBP Global Holdings, Inc. was originally incorporated as CF Acquisition Corp. VIII, a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 8, 2020. On March 16, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering. The Company’s initial purpose was to effect a business combination with one or more businesses. On October 9, 2022, CF Acquisition Corp. VIII entered into a merger agreement with XBP Europe, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of BTC International Holdings, Inc. (“BTC”, and at the time a subsidiary of Exela Technologies, Inc. (“ETI”)). The business combination was completed on November 30, 2023, at which time the Company was renamed XBP Europe Holdings, Inc., reflecting the purchase of ETI’s historical European operations, and the Company’s shares and public warrants started trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbols “XBP” and “XBPEW,” respectively.
On July 29, 2025, the Company finalized its acquisition of Exela Technologies BPA, LLC (n/k/a XBP Americas, LLC)(collectively with its subsidiaries, “BPA,” and such acquisition, the “Business Combination”) pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 3, 2025 (the “MIPA”). The consideration for the sale was $1.00, reflecting the encumbered nature of BPA which at the time of entry into the MIPA was involved in voluntary bankruptcy proceedings under the caption In re DocuData Solutions, L.C., Case No. 25-90023 (CML) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Business Combination was subject to certain conditions subsequent including emergence of BPA and certain of its affiliates from the Chapter 11 Cases, which occurred on July 29, 2025. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company and BPA had both been indirect subsidiaries of ETI. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from “XBP Europe Holdings, Inc.” to “XBP Global Holdings, Inc.”
BPA is comprised of the assets and operations of (i) the following wholly-owned and indirect subsidiaries of BPA: DocuData Solutions, L.C., Exela Intermediate, LLC, Exela Finance, Inc., BancTec (Canada), Inc., BancTec (Philippines), Inc., BancTec (Puerto Rico), Inc., BancTec Group LLC, BancTec India Pvt. Ltd., BancTec Intermediate Holding, Inc., BancTec, Inc., BillSmart Solutions LLC, BTC Ventures, Inc., Charter Lason, Inc., CorpSource Holdings, LLC, Deliverex, LLC, DFG2 Holdings, LLC, DFG2, LLC, Digital Mailroom LLC, DrySign, LLC, Economic Research

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. (now XBP Global) was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes even though BPA survives as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of XBP Global.
Chapter 11 Reorganization
On March 3, 2025 (the “Petition Date”), BPA along with certain affiliates (the “BPA Debtors”) commenced the Chapter 11 Cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On April 16, 2025 the BPA Debtors entered into a Plan Support Agreement (as amended, the “Plan Support Agreement”) with an ad hoc group of holders (the “Ad Hoc Group”) of certain 11.5% secured notes issued pursuant to the 2026 Indentures (as defined below), ETI, certain non-BPA Debtor subsidiaries of ETI (together with ETI, the “Consenting ETI Entities”), and certain other parties thereto. In the Plan Support Agreement such parties agreed, subject to certain conditions, to support the BPA Debtors’ reorganization plan in the Chapter 11 Cases and to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary and appropriate to facilitate the restructuring of the BPA Debtors’ indebtedness and to complete the restructuring transactions contemplated under the Plan Support Agreement (the “Restructuring”). On May 7, 2025, the BPA Debtors filed a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) reflecting the proposed Restructuring. The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on June 23, 2025.
On July 29, 2025 (the “Emergence Date”), BPA consummated the Restructuring and emerged from bankruptcy having satisfied or waived all the conditions set forth in the Plan. In accordance with ASC 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), BPA was required to apply fresh-start accounting upon its emergence from bankruptcy. The Company evaluated transaction activity of BPA between July 31, 2025 and the Emergence Date and concluded that an accounting convenience date of July 31, 2025 (the “Convenience Date”) was appropriate for the adoption of fresh-start accounting which resulted in BPA becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of the Convenience Date.
On the Emergence Date, in connection with the consummation of the Restructuring and pursuant to the Plan:
| ● | The Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and became effective increasing authorized shares to 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company, and changing the Company’s name to XBP Global Holdings, Inc. |
| ● | The Company issued 81,799,821 shares of Common Stock to holders of Allowed Notes Claims (claims based on the 2026 Indentures (as defined below), and as further defined in the Plan) and for backstop and funding fees, resulting in 117,515,972 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and new warrants to purchase 6,632,418 shares of Common Stock to GP 3XCV LLC and XCV-STS, LLC (two subsidiaries of ETI). The issuances reflected a value of $4.98 per share for purposes of the Plan (“Plan Equity Value”) based on a valuation of BPA equity at $407.0 million and an overall implied equity valuation of the combined Company of $585.7 million) and were exempt from |

| registration under Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The warrants have standard terms and are exercisable immediately at Plan Equity Value. |
| ● | The Company entered into a Tax Funding Agreement (the “Tax Funding Agreement”) with the Reorganized Debtors (the BPA Debtors following the Restructuring), as Agent, and the Consenting ETI Parties. The Tax Funding Agreement provides for the Consenting ETI Parties to fund certain Transaction Tax Liabilities (as defined in the Plan) (up to an initial funding obligation of $15 million and any excess over $25 million), with security over Blocked ETI Shares (as defined therein) and provisions for release upon payment. |
| ● | The Reorganized BPA Debtors entered into certain exit financing arrangements (refer to the description of “Indebtedness” below), including: |
| o | An Indenture reflecting the issuance of $183.0 million of the July 2030 Notes as defined and described further in the description of “Indebtedness” below, in a cashless rollover of a comparable amount of debtor-in-possession obligations from the Chapter 11 Cases, plus $18.0 million in additional funding provided by the Company in exchange for July 2030 Notes issued by BPA (the “XBP Funding”), with the remaining $10.0 million of debtor-in-possession obligations from the Chapter 11 Cases being cancelled and replaced with $6.0 million of loans under the Super Senior Term Loan as defined and described further in the description of “Indebtedness” below. |
| o | The Super Senior Term Loan consisting of $40.0 million of new loans used to refinance the BPA Debtors’ prepetition senior secured term loan facility, which was in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $38.9 million, plus accrued interest, fees, and expenses, and $6.0 million of take-back loans, secured by Term Loan Priority Collateral (as defined therein). |
| o | An Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement with BRF Finance Co. LLC, as Agent, and the lenders party thereto, amending and restating the Second Lien Note, dated February 27, 2023, as defined and described further in the description of “Indebtedness” below, providing for term loans bearing interest at Term SOFR plus 7.5%, and other terms as set forth therein. |
| o | The ABL Facility, as defined and described further in the description of “Indebtedness” below, with MidCap Financial Trust as Agent and Lender, providing a $150 million revolving credit facility, secured by ABL Priority Collateral (as defined therein), with terms including interest at SOFR plus Applicable Margin (3.75%-4.25% based on EBITDA), maturity 36 months from closing, financial covenants (e.g., Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio), and other customary provisions. |
In addition, on the Emergence Date, the indenture dated as of December 9, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among Exela Intermediate LLC and Exela Finance Inc., as issuers, the guarantors party thereto (including certain of the Debtors, as defined therein), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, governing the 11.500% first-priority senior secured notes due 2026, and the indenture dated as of July 11, 2023 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among Exela Intermediate LLC and Exela Finance Inc., as issuers, the guarantors party thereto (including certain of the Debtors), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, governing the 11.500% first-priority senior secured notes due 2026 (together, the “2026 Indentures”), were terminated, and all obligations thereunder were cancelled and discharged, with holders of claims thereunder receiving distributions of Common Stock as described above. The ABL Facility also replaced BPA’s then existing securitization arrangements with PNC Bank.
As a result of the Restructuring and the Business Combination, the Company was no longer considered a “controlled company” under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Prior to the Restructuring and the Business Combination, BTC International Holdings, Inc. (“BTC”), an indirect subsidiary of ETI, owned approximately 60.7% of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Plan, BTC’s shares were distributed to holders of Allowed Notes Claims (including ETI). Post-issuance of new shares under the Plan, beneficial ownership is dispersed, with no beneficial holder owning
58
Table of Contents
more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company. As of September 30, 2025 ETI held approximately 29.1%, Gates Capital Management approximately 25.7%, and Avenue Capital approximately 9.8%, in each case, assuming the exercise of all warrants held by the Consenting ETI Parties. The Restructuring and the Business Combination represent a dissipation of control, not a “change of control” in the traditional sense, because no new third party acquired control of XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. as a result of the Restructuring of the BPA Debtors and the subsequent Business Combination. As of the date of this quarterly report, there are no known arrangements that may result in a further change in control.
Predecessor and Successor
The “Predecessor” company information refers to the financial information prior to the Emergence Date, which reflects the combined historical financial statements of BPA prepared using BPA’s previous combined basis of accounting. The “Successor” company information financial refers to the financial information beginning August 1, 2025 and reflects the consolidated financial statements of XBP Global, including the financial statement effects of recording fair value adjustments and the capital structure resulting from the Business Combination and fresh start accounting of BPA. Black lines have been drawn to separate the Successor’s financial information from that of the Predecessor since their financial statements are not comparable as a result of the application of acquisition accounting and the Company’s capital structure resulting from the Business Combination and fresh start accounting of BPA.
Our Segments
Our two reportable segments are Applied Workflow Automation and Technology. These segments are comprised of significant strategic business units that align our products and services with how we manage our business, approach our key markets and interact with our clients based on their respective industries.
Applied Workflow Automation: the Applied Workflow Automation segment provides services powered by intelligent, AI-enabled workflows that generate outcomes for clients’ mission critical systems. Revenue primarily stems from transactions processed and includes payment processing, data capture, analysis, decisioning, distribution and transformation across industries and the public and private sectors, primarily in Americas and Europe, and increasingly in Asia.

Key Performance Indicators
We use a variety of operational and financial measures to assess our performance. Among the measures considered by our management are the following:
| ● | Revenue by segment; |
| ● | Gross profit by segment; and |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP financial measure). |
59
Table of Contents
Revenue by segment
We analyze our revenue by comparing actual monthly revenue to internal projections and prior periods across our operating segments in order to assess performance, identify potential areas for improvement, and determine whether segments are meeting management’s expectations.
Gross profit by segment
The Company defines Gross Profit as revenue less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The Company uses Gross Profit by segment to assess financial performance at the segment level.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its financial data presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, this report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. These measures exclude certain expenses that are required under GAAP. The Company excludes these items because they are non-recurring or non-cash expenses that are determined based in part on the Company’s underlying performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus non-recurring transaction costs, non-cash equity compensation, restructuring and related expenses, loss/(gain) on sale of assets, impairment of goodwill and other non-recurring items such as reorganization items.

Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, our net revenue on a consolidated basis decreased by $24.3 million, or 10.4%, to $209.08 million (including related party revenue of $0.2 million) from $233.4 million (including related party revenue of $1.5 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Applied Workflow Automation and Technology segments constituted 90.6%, and 9.4%, respectively, of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 94.4%, and 5.6%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The revenue changes by reporting segment were as follows:
Applied Workflow Automation — Net revenue attributable to Applied Workflow Automation segment was $189.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $220.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The revenue decline of $30.9 million, or 14.0%, is primarily attributable to lower postage revenue, lower one time projects and client contract ends, offset by the inclusion of newly acquired entity in the successor period and revenue from newly won business.
Technology — For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net revenue attributable to the Technology segment increased by $6.6 million or 50.3%, to $19.7 million from $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The revenue increase in the Technology segment was largely due to inclusion of newly acquired entity in the successor period.
Cost of revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the cost of revenue decreased by $26.2 million, or 13.9%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
61
Table of Contents
In the Applied Workflow Automation segment, the decrease was primarily attributable to reduced cost resulting from completed projects and optimization efforts. Cost of revenue to the Applied Workflow Automation segment decreased by $29.4 million, or 15.9%.
The cost of revenue in the Technology segment increased by $3.1 million, or 73.6%, primarily due to the inclusion of the newly acquired entity in the successor period within the Technology segment.
The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue on a consolidated basis was primarily due to a change in the revenue mix and executed optimization efforts. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 78.0% of revenue compared to 81.1% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) increased by $2.1 million, or 7.9%, to $28.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $26.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to inclusion of newly acquired entity in successor period, asset disposal costs in relation to facility closure, receipt of insurance claim payment in 2024 offset by decrease in legal and professional fees. SG&A expenses increased as a percentage of revenues to 13.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 11.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Depreciation and amortization
Total depreciation and amortization expenses were $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Impairment of goodwill
Impairment of goodwill for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $295.8 million. During the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, the Company experienced a sustained and significant decline in its market capitalization causing the market capitalization to fall below the Company’s book value after the application of fresh start accounting at Emergence Date. Management concluded that this sustained decline, combined with revised long-term projections compared to those used to compute enterprise value of the reconstituted Successor as set forth in the Disclosure Statement for Joint Plan of Reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court, represented a triggering event under ASC 350. In connection with the completion of the interim impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $215.8 million and $80.0 million to goodwill relating to the reporting units reported under the Applied Workflow Automation segment and Technology segment, respectively, during the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025.
Related party expenses
Related party expense was $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net was $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to expense of $26.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net
There was no debt modification and extinguishment cost for the three months ended September 30, 2025 while there was $0.3 million of debt modification and extinguishment cost for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Table of Contents
Sundry expense (income), net
The increase in sundry expense, net of $0.9 million over the prior year period, was primarily attributable to exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency transactions.
Other expense (income), net
Other income, net, was a gain of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to other income, net, was a gain of $0.02 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Reorganization items
Reorganization items for the three months ended September 30, 2025 includes a material net reorganization gain of $1.52 billion. This gain was predominantly from two principal accounting mandates: the gain realized from the settlement of pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise, and the gain recognized under fresh start accounting, reflecting the mandated revaluation of the balance sheet to fair value upon emergence. These substantial, positive adjustments were partially offset by the operational costs required to execute the plan, including essential legal and professional fees.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded an income tax expense of $36.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and an income tax expense of $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is higher than the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to permanent adjustments relating to goodwill impairment and reorganization items as well as an increase in deferred tax expense relating to establishment of deferred tax liabilities on fresh start adjustments. Our estimated annual effective tax rate of 3.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% and was primarily impacted by permanent tax adjustments including goodwill impairment and reorganization items; state and local current tax expense, foreign operations and valuation allowances.

Revenue
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our net revenue on a consolidated basis decreased by $79.9 million, or 12.0%, to $584.1 million (including related party revenue of $2.5 million) from $664.0 million (including related party revenue of $3.7 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Applied Workflow Automation and Technology segments constituted 92.1%, and 7.9%, respectively, of our total net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 93.9%, and 6.1%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The revenue changes by reporting segment were as follows:
Applied Workflow Automation — Net revenue attributable to Applied Workflow Automation segment was $538.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $623.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The revenue decline of $85.4 million, or 13.7%, is primarily attributable to lower postage revenue, lower one time projects and client contract ends, offset by the inclusion of newly acquired entity in the successor period and revenue from newly won business.
Technology — For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net revenue attributable to the Technology segment increased by $5.4 million, or 13.4%, to $45.9 million from $40.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The revenue increase in the Technology segment was largely due to inclusion of newly acquired entity in the successor period.
Cost of revenue
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the cost of revenue decreased by $61.1 million, or 11.7%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Table of Contents
In the Applied Workflow Automation segment, the decrease was primarily attributable to reduced cost resulting from completed projects and optimization efforts. Cost of revenue to the Applied Workflow Automation segment decreased by $63.9 million, or 12.6%.
The cost of revenue in the Technology segment increased by $2.8 million, or 20.8%, primarily due to the inclusion of the newly acquired entity in the successor period within the Technology segment.
Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 78.6% of revenue compared to 78.4% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The marginal increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue on a consolidated basis was primarily due to changes in revenue mix during the current period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) decreased $22.5 million, or 23.8%, to $71.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $94.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower provision for bad debts, decrease in legal and professional fees, and a one-time benefit from the write-off of certain aged liabilities, these favorable impacts were partially offset by an increase in government penalties, higher severance payouts associated with restructuring initiatives, receipt of insurance claim payment in 2024 and the inclusion of incremental SG&A expenses from the newly acquired entity. SG&A expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 12.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 14.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Depreciation and amortization
Total depreciation and amortization expenses were $31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $38.7 million for the nine months ended September 30 2024.
Impairment of goodwill
Impairment of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $295.8 million. During the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, the Company experienced a sustained and significant decline in its market capitalization causing the market capitalization to fall below the Company’s book value after the application of fresh start accounting at Emergence Date. Management concluded that this sustained decline, combined with revised long-term projections compared to those used to compute enterprise value of the reconstituted Successor as set forth in the Disclosure Statement for Joint Plan of Reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court, represented a triggering event under ASC 350. In connection with the completion of the interim impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $215.8 million and $80.0 million to goodwill relating to the reporting units reported under the Applied Workflow Automation segment and Technology segment, respectively, during the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025.
Related party expenses
Related party expense was $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net was $85.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $75.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net
There was $0.1 million of debt modification and extinguishment cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 while there was $0.3 million debt modification and extinguishment cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Sundry expense (income), net
The increase in sundry expense, net of $2.8 million over the prior year period, was primarily attributable to exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency transactions.
Other expense (income), net
Other income, net was a gain of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to other income, net was a gain of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Reorganization items
Reorganization items for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes a material net reorganization gain of $1.56 billion. This gain was predominantly non-cash, stemming from two principal accounting mandates: the gain realized from the settlement of pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise, the gain recognized under Fresh Start Accounting, further augmented by a non-cash gain resulting from the mandatory derecognition of unamortized debt discount, premium and issuance costs associated with the extinguishment of the prior capital structure, reflecting the mandated revaluation of the balance sheet to fair value upon emergence. These substantial, positive adjustments were partially offset by the operational costs required to execute the plan, including essential legal and professional fees.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded an income tax expense of $39.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and an income tax expense of $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to permanent adjustments relating to goodwill impairment and reorganization items as well as an increase in deferred tax expense relating to establishment of deferred tax liabilities on Fresh Start adjustments. Our estimated annual effective tax rate of 3.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% and was primarily impacted by permanent tax adjustments including goodwill impairment and reorganization items; state and local current tax expense, foreign operations and valuation allowances.
Other Financial Information (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)
We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net (loss) income, plus income tax expenses, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization.
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations as our board of directors and management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance, because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team. Net income/loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP
66
Table of Contents
financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are not audited and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. We define Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA plus management’s estimates of the impact of the acquisition of XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. and reorganization of BPA, had such transactions occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary source of liquidity is principally cash generated from operating activities supplemented as necessary on a short‑term basis by borrowings. We believe our current level of cash and short term financing capabilities along with future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet the needs of the business.
Liquidity is the availability of adequate amounts of cash with an enterprise to meet its needs for cash requirements. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents totalled $64.2 million and $64.1 million, respectively, including restricted cash of $29.7 million and $52.4 million, respectively.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that obligate us to make payments in the future. These obligations include borrowings, interest obligations, purchase commitments, operating and finance lease commitments, employee benefit payments and taxes. The current maturities under the Second Lien Note, the secured borrowings under the BR Exar AR Facility, 2028 Term Loan Facilities (as defined and further described in “Indebtedness” below) and the other debts are $17.5 million, $8.2 million, $3.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively. See Note 7, Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities, Note 9, Employee Benefit Plans, and Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements herein for further information on material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations.

Table of Contents
The Predecessor recently emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, near-term liquidity is expected to be negatively impacted due to the requirement to satisfy all pre-petition liabilities pursuant to the Plan. This constrained liquidity is expected to continue until such time as these liabilities are fully settled.
We plan to spend approximately 1.0% of total revenue on total capital expenditures over the next twelve months. Our business model has evolved to leverage cloud hosted platforms. This has reduced our capital expenditures and increased our operating expenses. This is the primary driver of changes in our capital expenditures when compared with historical periods. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, our investments in strategic initiatives, applications or technologies, operation centers and acquisition of complementary businesses, which may require the use of significant cash resources and/or additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all, which may adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company utilized COVID-19 relief measures in various European jurisdictions, including permitted deferrals of certain payroll, social security and value added taxes. At the end of the third quarter 2024, the Company paid a significant portion of these deferred payroll taxes, social security and value added taxes. The remaining balance of deferred payroll taxes, social security and value added taxes is expected to be paid by April 2027, or later, as per deferment timelines as established by local laws and regulations.
The Company believes the current cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operating and financing activities are sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months. To the extent existing cash, cash from operations, and amounts available for borrowing are insufficient to fund future activities, the Company may need to raise additional capital. The Company may require funding for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, cost overruns for reasons outside of its control and it may experience slower sales than anticipated. If the Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient to meet its financing requirements for the next twelve months, it may have to raise funds to allow it to continue to operate its business and execute on its business plan. The Company cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms or at all particularly given the amount of Company securities being offered, the terms of such securities and the potential duration of any offering. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact the Company’s ability to conduct business or return capital to investors. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, it may have to significantly scale back, delay or discontinue certain businesses, restrict its operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes between the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024
Operating Activities— The increase of $139.1 million in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to increase in accounts receivable of approximately $94.5 million as collections slowed post-emergence, and a noncash reorganization gain related to our reorganization of $1.6 billion recorded in 2025. These factors were partially offset by lower cost of revenue of $61.1 million, lower selling, general
69
Table of Contents
and administrative expenses of $22.5 million, and a $7.6 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expense reflecting cost optimization following emergence from Chapter 11 Cases.
Investing Activities— The increase of $1.7 million in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in purchase of property, plant and equipment and $2.8 million decrease in sale of assets partially offset by a $1.0 million reduction in additions to internally developed software.
Financing Activities— Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $155.2 million, primarily as a result of $33.8 million of proceeds from borrowings under the BR Exar AR Facility, $18.0 million of proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility, $80 million from DIP New Money, $40.0 million of proceeds from the Super Senior Secured Term Loan, $81.9 million of proceeds from the ABL Facility and $5.2 million of net proceeds from other loans. These inflows were partially offset by $32.7 million of repayments under the BR Exar AR Facility, $44.9 million of principal repayments on BPA’s prepetition senior secured financing agreement and other loans, $8.0 million of repayments on the Second Lien Note, $9.6 million of repayment under the ABL Facility, $3.7 million of principal payments on finance lease obligations, and $4.7 million for debt issuance costs.
Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.4 million. This was primarily due to $45.4 million in borrowings under the BR Exar AR Facility and $7.1 million in proceeds from other loans, which were offset by $37.5 million in repayments under the BR Exar AR Facility, $4.0 million of repayments on the Second Lien Note, $8.6 million in principal repayments on BPA’s prepetition senior secured financing agreement and other loans, $5.5 million of principal repayments on finance lease obligations, and $0.4 million for debt issuance costs.
Indebtedness
Following is a description of the Company’s key indebtedness.
July 2030 Notes
On July 29, 2025, Exela Technologies BPA, LLC and Exela Finance Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (for this purpose, together, the “2030 Notes Issuers”), certain guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, entered into an indenture (the “July 2030 Notes Indenture”) governing the Company’s 12.0% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “July 2030 Notes”). The Company issued approximately $183.0 million aggregate principal amount of the July 2030 Notes pursuant to the Plan, which may be supplemented by additional issuances in accordance with the July 2030 Notes Indenture. The July 2030 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 12.0% per annum, payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2026, and mature on July 15, 2030. Interest on overdue amounts accrues at the stated rate plus 2.0% per annum. $183.0 million aggregate principal amount of the July 2030 Notes remained outstanding as of September 30, 2025.
The July 2030 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the 2030 Notes Issuers’ option at any time, upon not less than 10 nor more than 30 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the July 2030 Notes are subject to repurchase requirements upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including upon a change of control event at 101% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest and on certain asset sales or debt proceeds at 100% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The July 2030 Notes Indenture limits the ability of the 2030 Notes Issuers and the guarantors to incur additional debt, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, create or permit liens on assets, sell or dispose of assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to specified exceptions. Events of default include the failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due, the failure to comply with covenants or other agreements in the July 2030 Notes Indenture, defaults on other material indebtedness of the 2030 Notes Issuers or the guarantors, certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, and the entry of material judgments against the 2030 Notes

Issuers or the guarantors. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the July 2030 Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, and in the case of bankruptcy or insolvency events, the July 2030 Notes automatically become immediately due and payable.
The obligations under the July 2030 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the 2030 Notes Issuers’ U.S. subsidiary guarantors, and are secured by liens on the collateral of the 2030 Notes Issuers and such guarantors, subject to permitted liens and the terms of the Super Senior and Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreements. Under these agreements, the ABL Lenders (as described below) hold first-priority liens on receivables, inventory, cash and related assets, while the Super Senior Term Loan Lenders (as described below) and July 2030 Noteholders hold junior liens on such assets. With respect to fixed assets, equity interests, intellectual property and related assets, the Super Senior Term Loan Lenders and July 2030 Noteholders share equal first-priority liens on a pari passu basis, while the ABL Lenders hold junior liens.
Super Senior Term Loan
On July 29, 2025, Exela Technologies BPA, LLC and Exela Finance Inc. (for this purpose, together, the “Super Senior Term Loan Borrowers”), each subsidiary of the Exela Technologies BPA, LLC as guarantors, Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain lenders (the “Super Senior Term Loan Lenders”) entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Super Senior Term Loan”), in accordance with the Plan. The Super Senior Term Loan provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $46.0 million in senior secured term loans, consisting of (i) $40.0 million in new-money term loans, used to refinance obligations under BPA’s prepetition senior secured financing agreement and pay related fees and expenses, and (ii) $6.0 million in term loans issued to DIP lenders in exchange for and in full satisfaction of $10.0 million of DIP claims as contemplated by the Plan. Interest on the Super Senior Term Loan accrues, at the Super Senior Term Loan Borrowers’ election, either (a) at the Reference Rate, meaning the greatest of 4.0% per annum, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum, one-month Term SOFR plus 1.0% per annum, or the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 10.7% per annum, stepping down to 7.3% per annum upon the establishment of an Incremental Facility, or (b) at Term SOFR, subject to a 4.0% floor, plus 11.7% per annum, stepping down to 8.3% per annum upon the establishment of an Incremental Facility. Interest on Reference Rate Loans is payable monthly in arrears, while interest on SOFR Loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, all outstanding amounts bear interest at the applicable rate plus 2.0% per annum, payable on demand.
As of September 30, 2025, there were borrowings of $46.0 million outstanding under the Super Senior Term Loan. The Super Senior Term Loan is scheduled to mature on July 28, 2028. Voluntary prepayments are permitted at any time with five business days’ notice, provided accrued interest is paid and, if applicable, a prepayment premium is payable at a rate of 2.0% if prepaid prior to the first anniversary of the Emergence Date, 1.0% if prepaid on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary, and 0% thereafter. In addition, the Super Senior Term Loan is subject to mandatory prepayments of principal with accrued interest in certain circumstances, including (a) 25.0% of annual Excess Cash Flow (beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, payable within ten business days after delivery of annual financial statements), (b) 100% of net cash proceeds from non-permitted asset sales in excess of $0.5 million in any fiscal year subject to reinvestment rights, (c) 100% of net cash proceeds from the issuance of indebtedness or equity securities (other than permitted issuances), and (d) certain extraordinary receipts, such as insurance recoveries and condemnation awards, subject to reinvestment rights. Upon the occurrence of an event of default such as payment defaults, covenant breaches, bankruptcy or insolvency, cross-defaults to other significant indebtedness, and judgment defaults etc., the obligations under the Super Senior Term Loan may be accelerated and become immediately due and payable.
The obligations under the Super Senior Term Loan are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of the Super Senior Term Loan Borrowers’ subsidiaries and are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Super Senior Term Loan Borrowers' and the guarantors, subject to permitted liens and the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (as described below) and that certain Super Senior Intercreditor Agreement. The Super Senior Term Loan contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on additional indebtedness, the granting of liens, asset sales, restricted payments, affiliate transactions, and changes in business. It also includes a financial covenant requiring the Issuer to maintain the ratio of (a) Indebtedness to (b) Covenant Consolidated

EBITDA of no greater than 1.00 to 1.00 based on the trailing 12 months ended as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The Super Senior Term Loan Borrowers are also required to maintain liquidity of at least $2.0 million (or $10.0 million after the incurrence of any Incremental Facility). The Super Senior Term Loan Borrowers were in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2025.
Second Lien Note
On February 27, 2023, BPA, through its subsidiary Exela Receivables 3, LLC, and BRF Finance Co., LLC had entered into a new Secured Promissory Note pursuant to which BPA borrowed $31.5 million from BRF Finance Co., LLC secured by a second lien pledge of Exela Receivables 3, LLC, a subsidiary of BPA (the “Second Lien Note”). The Second Lien Note was originally scheduled to mature on June 17, 2025 and bears interest at a per annum rate of one-month Term SOFR plus 7.5%. On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement with BRF Finance Co., LLC. The amendment was executed in connection with BPA’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases to align the terms of the Second Lien Note with the Company’s new capital structure and intercreditor arrangements. The revised agreement extended the maturity of the Second Lien Note to March 30, 2026.
The obligations under the Second Lien Note are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of BPA and are secured by liens on BPA’s and certain guarantors’ assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, cash and deposit accounts, equipment, real property, equity interests in subsidiaries, intercompany obligations, general intangibles, and other related assets. Pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, BRF Finance Co., LLC’s liens are subordinated to the liens securing the Company’s senior debt facilities specifically, the ABL Facility with respect to receivables, inventory, cash, and related assets, and the Super Senior Term Loan and July 2030 Notes with respect to fixed assets, equity interests, and other non-ABL assets. As a result, the obligations under the Second Lien Note are effectively second-priority liens behind the senior secured debt. The Second Lien Notes requires the borrowers to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis. The minimum required ratio varies depending on the period: for the defined periods tested quarterly through December 31, 2025, and monthly from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, the fixed charge coverage ratio must be not less than 0.85 to 1.00. Thereafter, for the defined periods tested monthly from July 1, 2026, through the maturity date, the fixed charge coverage ratio must be not less than 1.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, there were borrowings of $17.5 million outstanding under the Second Lien Note included in the current portion of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
ABL Facility
On July 29, 2025, Exela Technologies BPA, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "ABL Borrowers") entered into a $150.0 million Asset-Based Lending Credit and Security Agreement (the “ABL Facility”) with MidCap Funding IV Trust, as administrative and collateral agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “ABL Lenders”). The ABL Facility was executed in connection with the BPA’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases and provides for revolving commitments of up to $150.0 million, with an option to increase to $175.0 million through an additional tranche. The borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is limited to the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolving commitments and (ii) the borrowing base, which is calculated by reference to eligible billed and unbilled receivables, certain other receivables, eligible cash, and related assets, reduced by reserves established by the Agent. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear an interest at Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.8% to 4.3%, depending on the ABL Borrowers’ trailing twelve-month EBITDA, subject to a 1.0% SOFR floor. Interest is payable monthly, with a 2.0% default premium. In addition to interest, the ABL Borrowers are required to pay an unused commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the commitments, customary letter of credit fees on the face amount of each outstanding letter of credit, a collateral management fee payable to the Agent, and a minimum balance fee if borrowings under the ABL Facility fall below 20.0% of the Borrowing Base.
As of September 30, 2025, there were borrowings of $72.1 million outstanding under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures on July 29, 2028, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty (other than breakage costs). Mandatory repayments are required from proceeds of dispositions of the ABL Priority Collateral, insurance proceeds, or upon acceleration following an event of default. The events of default include failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due; breaches of covenants or other material contractual obligations; materially inaccurate representations or warranties; failure to pay specified other indebtedness above $25.0 million; bankruptcy or insolvency; final unsatisfied judgments; ERISA-related defaults; and a change in control.
The obligations under the ABL Facility are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of the ABL Borrowers’ U.S. subsidiaries. The liens securing the ABL Facility are subject to an Intercreditor Agreement (the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”) dated July 29, 2025, among MidCap Funding IV Trust, Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as Term Agent, BRF Finance Co., LLC, as Riley Agent, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as July 2030 Notes Trustee. The ABL Intercreditor Agreement governs lien priorities including (i) relative priorities for the collateral securing the ABL Facility obligations, the Super Senior Term Loan obligations, the July 2030 Notes Indenture obligations and the Second Lien Note obligations; (ii) collateral priorities securing (a) any Second Lien Note obligations, (b) any Super Senior Term Loan obligations, (c) any July 2030 Notes Indenture obligations, or (d) any Excess ABL Debt; and (iii) prohibition on contesting liens. The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority lien on certain ABL Priority Collateral (including receivables, cash, inventory, deposit accounts, and related assets) and a junior lien on certain Term Priority Collateral, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.
The ABL Facility includes customary affirmative covenants such as reporting, collateral maintenance, insurance, and inspections, and negative covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales, investments, affiliate transactions, and changes in business, with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, tested if excess availability falls below a defined threshold. The ABL Facility requires the ABL Borrowers to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis. The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of EBITDA less Unfinanced Capital Expenditures less Capitalized Software Expenditures, to Fixed Charges (as such terms are defined in the ABL Facility). The minimum required ratio varies depending on the period: for the defined periods tested quarterly through December 31, 2025, and monthly from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, the fixed charge coverage ratio must be not less than 0.85 to 1.00.

Thereafter, for the defined periods tested monthly from July 1, 2026, through the maturity date, the fixed charge coverage ratio must be not less than 1.00 to 1.00. The ABL Facility also requires maintaining minimum excess availability of not less than $7.5 million at any time for three (3) or more consecutive business days through June 30, 2026. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2025.

Amended Factoring Agreement
On September 15, 2023, certain European subsidiaries of the Company had entered into an amendment to a secured borrowing facility (the “Amended Factoring Agreement”) for a non-recourse factoring program pursuant to which an unrelated third party (the “Factor”) purchases certain approved and partially approved accounts receivables (as defined in the Amended Factoring Agreement) from certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Relevant Entities”) up to a maximum amount of €15.0 million while assuming the risk of non-payment on the purchased accounts receivables up to the level of approval.

The Company accounts for the transactions under the Amended Factoring Agreement as a sale under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and as an off-balance sheet arrangement. Net funds received from the transfers reflect the face value of the account less a fee, which is recorded as an increase to cash and a reduction to accounts receivable outstanding in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company reports the cash flows attributable to the sale of account receivables to the Factor and the cash receipts from collections made on behalf of and paid to the Factor under the Amended Factoring Agreement, on a net basis as trade accounts receivables in cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s outstanding factored accounts receivable totaled approximately $6.8 million pursuant to the Amended Factoring Agreement, representing the face value of the factored invoices. The Company recognizes factoring costs upon disbursement of funds. The Company incurred a loss on sale of accounts receivables including expenses pursuant to the Amended Factoring Agreement totaling approximately $0.1 million for the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, which is presented in selling, general and administrative expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Potential Future Transactions
We may, from time to time, explore and evaluate possible strategic transactions, which may include joint ventures, as well as business combinations or the acquisition or disposition of assets. In order to pursue certain of these opportunities, additional funds will likely be required. Subject to applicable contractual restrictions, to obtain such

financing, we may seek to use cash on hand, or we may seek to raise additional debt or equity financing through private placements or through underwritten offerings. There can be no assurance that we will enter into additional strategic transactions or alliances, nor do we know if we will be able to obtain the necessary financing for transactions that require additional funds on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement that we entered into in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, certain of our stockholders have the right to demand underwritten offerings of our Common Stock. We may from time to time in the future explore, with certain of those stockholders the possibility of an underwritten public offering of our Common Stock held by those stockholders. There can be no assurance as to whether or when an offering may be commenced or completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of judgments and estimates. The critical accounting policies provide a better understanding of how the Company develops its assumptions and judgments about future events and related estimations and how they can impact the Company’s financial statements. A critical accounting estimate is one that requires subjective or complex estimates and assessments and is fundamental to the Company’s results of operations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable according to the current facts and circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company believes the current assumptions, judgments and estimates used to determine amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate; however, actual results may differ under different conditions. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in Item A. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages F-123 through F-125 of the Company’s Proxy Statement Pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the SEC on July 15, 2025 for a complete discussion of critical accounting estimates.
During 2025, the Company’s accounting estimates were significantly impacted by the adoption of fresh-start accounting in connection with its emergence from Chapter 11 Cases and the completion of the Business Combination. These events required management to apply fair value measurements to substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities, including tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The fair value determinations incorporated updated assumptions regarding discount rates, market multiples, and projected cash flows, which represented material changes from historical estimates. As a result, these changes have affected the comparability of the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented, including change amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets and change in depreciation expense for certain tangible assets, and revised deferred tax balances based on new fair values. Management will continue to evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis as additional information becomes available or as market conditions evolve.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As elaborated in our notes to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements under Note 1, General, the Chapter 11 Cases were commenced by certain subsidiaries and affiliates of Exela Technologies BPA, LLC (“BPA”) on March 3, 2025. Subsequently, upon emergence of BPA from the Chapter 11 Cases, a business combination transaction between BPA and XBP Europe Holdings Inc. was consummated on July 29, 2025 (the “Business Combination”) and BPA was treated as the “accounting acquirer” company for financial reporting purposes. Prior to the Business Combination, BPA was a wholly owned major subsidiary of Exela Technologies, Inc. (“ETI”). ETI had reported material weaknesses across goodwill and intangible assets and financial reporting processes (including review of the recording of manual journal entries, preparation of the consolidated financial statements, and subsequent event disclosures) in Part II, Item 9A of 2023 Form 10-K filed on April 3, 2024 which was its last publicly available annual filing. BPA management confirmed to the Company that these material weaknesses continued to exist for the year ended December 31, 2024. BPA management concluded that these deficiencies were largely caused by an ineffective control environment, which also created deficiencies in BPA’s information and communication and monitoring activities. Management reassessed the controls of the combined entity (XBP Global Holdings Inc.) after the Business Combination and determined that the material weaknesses discussed above persisted as of September 30, 2025.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above.
Notwithstanding such material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements present fairly, in all material aspects, our financial position, results of our operations and our cash flows for the periods presented in this quarterly report, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.GAAP”).

Remediation
We are undertaking the following remediation measures with appropriate executive sponsorship and with the assistance of third-party specialists, to specifically address the material weaknesses related to the goodwill and financial reporting processes, and the control environment, information and communication, and monitoring activities to further strengthen internal controls:
| • | For the goodwill and financial reporting processes, enhancing the design of existing control activities and implementing additional process-level control activities for goodwill valuation, financial period closure, adjustment entries, and subsequent events. |
| • | Continuing to hire, train, and retain individuals with appropriate skills and experience, assigning responsibilities and holding individuals accountable for their roles related to internal control over financial reporting. |
| • | Deploying additional information and communication controls to allow the effective operation of control activities. |
Management intends to deploy the aforementioned additional remediation measures within a reasonable time frame. The effort may require incremental time and resources to remediate, and we may decide to take other measures with appropriate executive sponsorship to address the material weaknesses or modify the remediation steps described above. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Until these deficiencies are remediated, we plan to continue to perform additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The material change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 pertains to the business combination transaction between BPA with XBP Europe Holdings Inc., as mentioned above, which was consummated on July 29, 2025. This change resulted in material weaknesses in the areas of goodwill and financial reporting processes, and the control environment, information and communication, and monitoring activities for the period as of September 30, 2025.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Business Interruption Insurance Claim
During the second half of 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company experienced a network security incident (the “2022 Network Outage”) impacting certain of such subsidiaries operational and information technology systems. As a result of the 2022 Network Outage, such subsidiaries of the Company experienced lost revenue and incurred certain incremental costs. The Company had reduced its revenue for 2022 by the estimated settlement amount of the incident-related customer claims and recorded an accrued liability for the claims payable to customers. A total of $1.9 million and $1.9 million that may be payable to customers to settle customer claims are recorded as customer payables in accrued liabilities on its condensed combined and consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
On August 29, 2023, the Company submitted a claim to its insurers for $44.6 million in covered losses related to the 2022 Network Outage (the “August 2023 Claim”). During the year 2023, the Company received insurance proceeds of $10.8 million in respect of business interruption claims from its underlying and first excess carriers. On April 17, 2024, the Company commenced an action (the “Insurance Lawsuit”) against two excess-layer insurers (collectively, the “Second Excess Insurers”) seeking a declaratory judgment and alleging breach of contract and bad faith

for failing to pay out their share of losses connected to the August 2023 Claim. On August 9, 2024, the Company settled its claim against one of the Second Excess Insurers for $3.6 million, and on October 15, 2024, the Company settled its claim against the other Second Excess Insurers for $3.6 million (less amounts already paid). On October 8, 2024, the subsidiary of the Company moved to amend the complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) to add two additional excess-layer insurers to the Insurance Lawsuit. The Amended Complaint was filed on October 24, 2024. At this time, it is not practicable to render an opinion regarding the outcome of this matter; however, the Company believes it has meritorious claims and plans to vigorously assert them. Settlement discussions are ongoing.
Company Subsidiary Litigation
A group of 71 former employees brought a claim against a subsidiary of the Company related to their dismissal resulting from the closure of two production sites in France in 2020. The employees filed complaints with the French Labor Court on June 9, 2022. Various hearings were held. In March 2023, 67 claimants (4 had previously settled) applied for summary judgment which was granted for $1.1 million and was paid by the Company. In addition, settlement agreements were reached with 56 claimants for $1.8 million in 2024. A further settlement with the 15 remaining claimants was reached for $0.8 million. The Company has accrued $0.8 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025.
Other
We are, from time to time, involved in other legal proceedings, inquiries, claims and disputes, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Although our management cannot predict the outcomes of these matters, our management believes these actions will not have a material, adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, any updates in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2025, our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 15, 2025, and any other risks and uncertainties we identify in other reports and information that we file with the SEC and/or otherwise identified or discussed in this quarterly report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Risk of Delisting from Nasdaq Capital Market Due to Non-Compliance with Minimum Bid Price Requirement
On September 16, 2025, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The letter notified the Company that, for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), during the period August 4, 2025 to September 15, 2025. The Company has been provided a 180-calendar-day compliance period, ending on March 16, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this period. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or any other Nasdaq listing standard during the compliance period or any extension thereof.

Table of Contents
If the Company does not regain compliance within the applicable period(s), including any extensions that may be granted, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting would have significant adverse effects, including but not limited to:
| ● | Substantial reduction in the liquidity and market price of our common stock; |
| ● | Difficulty for investors to buy or sell our common stock and warrants, and potential relegation to the over-the-counter market, which is less liquid and more volatile; |
| ● | Loss of confidence by current and prospective investors, business partners, and other stakeholders; |
| ● | Impairment of our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, due to reduced access to the public equity markets; |
| ● | Potential acceleration of repayment obligations or defaults under certain of our existing or future financing arrangements that require maintenance of a Nasdaq listing; |
| ● | Diminished ability to attract and retain employees, including through equity compensation; |
| ● | Negative impact on our reputation, business operations, and long-term strategic opportunities. |
If our common stock is delisted, there can be no assurance that it will be listed or quoted on another national securities exchange or quotation service. Any of these outcomes could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
