XBP Global (NASDAQ: XBP) posts Q1 2026 loss and explores strategic alternatives
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
XBP Global Holdings, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 results showing modest revenue growth but a swing back to loss and much weaker profitability. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, revenue was $197.1 million, while the company recorded a net loss of $26.8 million versus prior-year net profit.
On a pro forma basis, revenue declined to $197.1 million from $229.7 million, though gross margin improved slightly. Pro Forma Normalized EBITDA was $15.6 million, down from $26.0 million. The balance sheet showed total assets of $871.4 million, total liabilities of $808.9 million, and stockholders’ equity of $62.6 million.
The company highlighted ongoing cost discipline and automation, noting its third consecutive quarter of margin expansion and expectations for higher revenue per employee in the second half of the year. Separately, the board approved an exploration of strategic alternatives to evaluate options to enhance stakeholder value, with no assurance that this process will result in any transaction.
Positive
- Margin expansion despite revenue pressure: Pro forma gross margin for Q1 2026 improved to 22.9% from 22.2%, and management notes a third consecutive quarter of margin expansion supported by increased automation and disciplined cost management.
Negative
- Return to loss and weaker profitability: XBP Global reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $26.8 million versus a prior-year net profit, while Pro Forma EBITDA fell sharply to $0.7 million and Pro Forma Normalized EBITDA declined to $15.6 million from $26.0 million.
- Pro forma revenue decline: Pro forma revenue for Q1 2026 was $197.1 million compared with $229.7 million a year earlier, reflecting a double-digit percentage decline at the combined business level despite modest as-reported growth.
Insights
Revenue is stable, but earnings, cash flow and leverage remain pressure points.
XBP Global posted Q1 2026 revenue of $197.1M, roughly flat on an as-reported basis, but pro forma revenue declined from $229.7M. Gross margin expanded modestly, yet the company reported a net loss of $26.8M and Pro Forma EBITDA of only $0.7M.
Pro Forma Normalized EBITDA dropped to $15.6M from $26.0M, indicating heavier adjustments and weaker underlying profitability. The balance sheet shows total liabilities of $808.9M versus equity of $62.6M, with long-term debt of $348.9M plus $32.3M current, so leverage remains elevated.
The board’s decision to explore strategic alternatives introduces a potentially important catalyst but with uncertain outcome, as the company explicitly notes there is no assurance of any transaction. Investors will likely focus on future quarters, particularly the second half of 2026, to see if automation and restructuring efforts translate into stronger margins and more robust cash flow.

XBP Global Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
May 14, 2026
IRVING, TX, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – XBP Global Holdings, Inc. (“XBP Global” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: XBP), a multinational technology and services company orchestrating mission-critical systems that enable hyper- automation and digital transformation, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights
| • | Revenue totaled $197.1 million, a decline of 14.2% year-over-year on a pro forma basis1 |
| • | Gross margin was 22.9%, a 70 basis point increase year-over-year on a pro forma basis1 |
| • | Net loss of $26.8 million |
| • | Normalized EBITDA2 of $15.6 million, a decrease of 39.9% year-over-year on a pro forma basis1 |
| • | Closed $108.1 million of total TCV, a 68.8% increase year-over-year and 45.1% above the trailing four quarter average1,3 |
| • | Closed $27.3 million of new ACV, a 3.7% decrease year-over-year and 4.4% above the trailing four quarter average1,3 |
| • | The Company expects to achieve $55 to $60 million in annualized operational efficiencies resulting from Company-wide automation efforts, with a significant portion of the underlying actions implemented during the first half of 2026 |
| • | The Company expects an approximate 20% reduction in global headcount by the end of 2026, subject to the timing and execution of its automation initiatives compared to year-end 2025, as the Company transitions to a high-productivity, AI-first operating model |
| • | Announced approval by XBP’s Board of Directors to initiate a formal process to explore strategic alternatives to enhance value for all stakeholders |
| • | Results reflect an ongoing transition in the Company’s operating model, with revenue and earnings trends impacted by legacy contract dynamics, while bookings and pipeline growth are expected to support future performance |
“Disciplined management and increased automation have resulted in our third consecutive quarter of margin expansion, and we believe these efforts will support a more substantial uplift in the coming quarters,” said Andrej Jonovic, CEO of XBP Global. “Our sales pipeline is gaining momentum, we are fundamentally altering our operating model through ambitious use of automation, and we expect this to translate to improved margin profile and materially higher revenue per employee in the second half of the year.”
“Separately, we announced today that our Board has approved an exploration of strategic alternatives. We believe this is a necessary step to evaluate opportunities to enhance value for XBP stakeholders, position XBP Global for long-term growth, and create financial flexibility to invest in our core growth engines and AI-first initiatives.”
There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction or other strategic outcome, and the Company has not set a timetable for the completion of this process.
First Quarter 2026 Segment Results4:
| Revenue (in $’000) | | Gross Margin | | ||
Q1 2026 | Q1 20254 | Y/Y (%) | Q1 2026 | Q1 20254 | Y/Y (%) | |
Applied Workflow Automation | $178,426 | $204,253 | -12.6% | 19.9% | 17.3% | +260 bps |
Technology | 18,706 | 25,431 | -26.4% | 52.4% | 61.7% | -930 bps |
Total | $197,132 | $229,686 | -14.2% | 22.9% | 22.2% | +70 bps |
Below are the notes referenced above:
| (1) | Pro forma results reflect the combined company as if the Exela Technologies BPA, LLC (together with its subsidiaries and certain affiliates “BPA”) acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024, and include adjustments to provide period-to-period comparability where the reported results exclude XBP Europe until July 31, 2025. |
| (2) | Normalized EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is attached to this release. |
| (3) | Total Contract Value (“TCV”) represents the initial estimated revenue related to contracts signed in the period without regard for early termination or revenue recognition rules. Changes to contracts and scope are treated as TCV only to the extent of the incremental new value. New TCV represents TCV attributable to expansion and new scope for existing clients, as well as TCV attributable to new clients. Annual contract value (“ACV”) represents the annualized value of the TCV, calculated by dividing the TCV of each individual contract by its respective duration in years. |
| (4) | Presented on a pro forma basis for the combined company, as if the acquisition of BPA had been consummated on January 1, 2024. |

About Pro Forma Financial Information
This press release includes certain pro forma financial information, which is presented for informational purposes only and is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pro forma results are presented on an unaudited basis as if the acquisition of BPA had been consummated on January 1, 2024, regardless of the actual closing date.
For financial reporting purposes, BPA is treated as the accounting acquirer, and results exclude XBP Europe until July 31, 2025. As a result, reported results for periods prior to July 31, 2025 are not comparable to previous annual earnings results presented by the Company.
Pro forma financial information is intended to provide investors with a clearer understanding of the underlying performance and trends of the combined business by illustrating the impact of the acquisition on historical results. These results are designed to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and enhance transparency into ongoing operations.
Pro forma information is based on certain assumptions and adjustments, including the elimination of intercompany transactions, acquisition-related costs, and the alignment of accounting policies, as described in the accompanying tables and footnotes. This information is unaudited and does not purport to represent what actual results would have been had the acquisition occurred at the dates indicated, nor does it project future results.
Pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with historical financial statements, related notes, and the pro forma adjustments and explanatory notes included in this release.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, and Pro Forma Normalized EBITDA, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful supplemental measures; however, investors are
encouraged to review the Company’s GAAP results and not rely on any single financial measure.
These measures provide investors with additional insight into financial performance, results of operations, and liquidity, and help facilitate comparisons of underlying business trends across periods. Management uses these measures to evaluate performance consistently by excluding the effects of capital structure (such as varying debt levels, interest expense, and transaction costs from acquisitions).
We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. We define Normalized 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. We define Pro Forma Normalized EBITDA as Normalized EBITDA plus management’s estimates of the impact of the accounting acquisition of XBP Europe and reorganization of BPA, had such transactions occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to liquidity or financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of these measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income required by GAAP to be recorded in the financial statements. In addition, the determination of which items to exclude or include requires the application of management judgement, and these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
These measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are unaudited, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and their presentation may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Net loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to the non- GAAP measures presented here. For a reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, see the schedules attached to this release.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

All forward-looking statements are based on estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and subject to risks and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. These include, but are not limited to: (1) risks related to the acquisition and related restructuring, including the inability to realize anticipated benefits, disruptions to operations, and costs associated with the acquisition; (2) legal proceedings; (3) failure to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards; (4) competition and market conditions; (5) economic, geopolitical, and regulatory changes; (6) challenges in retaining clients, employees, and suppliers; and (7) other risks detailed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the “Risk Factors” section of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2025.
