XBP Global Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
(in thousands of United States dollars except share and per share amounts or unless otherwise noted)
(Unaudited)
1. General
XBP Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “XBP Global”) is a multinational technology and services company powering intelligent workflows for organizations worldwide. The Company’s proprietary platforms, agentic AI-driven automation, and domain expertise across industries and the public and private sectors enable its clients’ digital transformations and workflows. The Company’s automation solutions allow global organizations to address challenges resulting from the massive amounts of data obtained and created from their operations. The Company’s solutions address the life cycle of transaction processing and enterprise information management, from enabling payment gateways and data exchanges across multiple systems, to matching inputs against contracts and handling exceptions, to ultimately depositing payments and distributing communications.
The Company conducts its operations through two reportable segments: Applied Workflow Automation and Technology. The Applied Workflow Automation segment provides services powered by intelligent, AI-enabled workflows that generate outcomes for clients’ 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 Technology segment of the Company primarily focuses on sales of recurring software licenses and related maintenance, hardware solutions and related maintenance and professional services.
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 the 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 Exela Technologies, Inc. (“ETI”). In connection with the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from “XBP Europe Holdings, Inc.” to “XBP Global Holdings, Inc.”
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 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.

Table of Contents
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.
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 8,179,982 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 11,751,597 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and new warrants to purchase 663,242 shares of Common Stock to GP 3XCV LLC and XCV-STS, LLC (two subsidiaries of ETI). The issuances reflected a value of $ 49.80 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 Debtors entered into exit financing arrangements (refer to Note 6, Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities ), including:
o An Indenture reflecting the issuance of $ 183.0 million of July 2030 Notes as described in Note 6, Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities , 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 (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 described in Note 6, Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities .
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 described in Note 6, Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities , providing for term loans bearing interest at Term SOFR plus 7.5 % , and other terms as set forth therein.
o The ABL Facility, as described in Note 6, Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities , with MidCap Financial Trust as Agent and Lender, providing a $ 150 million revolving credit facility, secured

Table of Contents
by ABL Priority Collateral (as defined therein), with terms including interest at SOFR plus Applicable Margin ( 3.8 % - 4.3 % based on EBITDA).
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 LLC. Prior to the Restructuring and the Business Combination, an indirect subsidiary of ETI, owned approximately 60.7 % of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Plan, such shares were distributed to holders of Allowed Notes Claims (including certain Consenting ETI Entities). Post-issuance of new shares under the Plan, beneficial ownership is dispersed, with no beneficial holder owning more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company and with entities affiliated with ETI , Gates Capital Management, Inc. and Avenue Capital Group beneficially owning 10 % or more of the Company based on public records. (a dissipation of control rather than 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). As of the date of this report, there are no known arrangements that may result in a further change in control.
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. In accordance with fresh start accounting requirements new fair values were established for BPA’s assets, liabilities and equity as of 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 as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K report for the year ended 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 condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations. The Company recorded an $ 8.6 million charge in selling, general and administrative in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 to refine the Company's estimate of the general unsecured claims liability based on updated information from the post-emergence claims reconciliation process, the original measurement adjustment of which was recognized as gain in Reorganization items, net in the Predecessor period.

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 condensed 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.
Successor:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period January 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026, includes the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and statement of operations, comprehensive profit (loss), changes in stockholders’ 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 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“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 condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that may be expected for future periods.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Predecessor:
The condensed consolidated and combined BPA financial statements (the “BPA financial statements”) include the accounts of the wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates of BPA. For the period January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025 that is covered by the BPA financial statements, BPA operated as part of ETI. The accompanying condensed consolidated and combined 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 condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. The condensed consolidated and
10
Table of Contents
combined financial statements and related notes to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations and comprehensive profit (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 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 condensed consolidated and combined financial statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, the condensed consolidated and combined 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 period 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 above, as a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the condensed consolidated financial statements after the Emergence Date are not comparable with the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements on or before the Emergence Date.
As part of Business Combination, the Company reevaluated its segment reporting, resulting in the presentation of two businesses: Applied Workflow Automation and Technology.
Prior periods have been recast to reflect the Company’s current segment presentation. See Note 14, Segment Information .
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2026 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 (i.e., if included, would reduce the net loss per share).
As the Company experienced a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor), the Company did not include the effect of 1,326,740 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of 13,267,398 outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2026 (refer to Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants ) or the effect of the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding restricted stock units ( 256,166 as of March 31, 2026, refer to Note 11,

Stock-Based Compensation ) in the calculation of diluted profit (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, because their effects were anti-dilutive.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The information presented below supplements the Significant Accounting Policies information presented in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these 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.
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.
12
Table of Contents
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 two segments: Applied Workflow Automation and Technology (See Note 14, Segment Information ). The following tables disaggregate revenue from contracts by segment and by geographic region for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) and March 31, 2025 (Predecessor):

Accounts receivable, net includes $ 23.6 million and $ 25.4 million as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Successor), respectively, representing amounts not yet billed to customers. The Company has accrued the unbilled receivables for work performed in accordance with the terms of its contracts with customers.
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. This advance consideration received from customers is deferred over the contract term. The Company recognized revenue of $ 5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor), that had been deferred as of December 31, 2025 (Successor). The Company recognized revenue of $ 4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor), that had been deferred as of January 1, 2025 (Predecessor).
Costs incurred to obtain and fulfill contracts are deferred and presented as part of intangible assets, net and expensed on a straight-line basis over the estimated benefit period. The Company recognized $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million of amortization for these costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) and 2025 (Predecessor), respectively, within depreciation and amortization expense in the Company’s condensed combined and consolidated statements of operations. These costs represent incremental external costs or certain specific internal costs that are directly related to the contract acquisition or fulfillment and can be separated into two principal categories: contract commissions and fulfillment costs. Applying the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, if the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The effect of applying this practical expedient was not material.
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.
14
Table of Contents
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.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
In accordance with optional exemptions available under GAAP, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (a) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, and (b) contracts for which variable consideration relates entirely to an unsatisfied performance obligation, which comprise the majority of the Company’s contracts. The Company has certain non-cancellable contracts where the Company receives a fixed monthly fee in exchange for a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer over time, with the corresponding remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) in each of the future periods below:

3. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Effective January 1, 2026 the Company adopted 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. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
15
Table of Contents
Effective January 1, 2026 the Company adopted 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. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
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 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 does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the 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.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract . This ASU expands the population of contracts that are excluded from the scope of derivative accounting in ASC 815. It also clarifies that the revenue guidance in ASC 606 initially applies to share-based noncash consideration received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim
16
Table of Contents
reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Purchased Loans , which amends the guidance in ASC 326 on the accounting for certain purchased loans. Under the ASU, entities must account for acquired loans (excluding credit cards) that meet certain criteria at acquisition by recognizing them at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses. The ASU’s amendments align the accounting for purchased seasoned loans with the treatment of financial assets purchased with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Hedge Accounting Improvements , which amends certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815. In addition to addressing stakeholder concerns, the amendments are intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The main amendments relate to cash flow hedging, but some of the amendments affect certain fair value and net investment hedges. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities , which adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. ASC 832 as originally promulgated contained only disclosure requirements concerning the receipt of government assistance by business entities. In the absence of such guidance, many for-profit entities historically have analogized to other GAAP, including IAS 203 or ASC 958-605, when accounting for government grants. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements , which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides “interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP.” The ASU also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to ASC 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must “disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity.” The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU adoption will have on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
4. Business Combination
On July 3, 2025, pursuant to the MIPA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company agreed to purchase, subject to certain terms and conditions, BPA. The consideration for the sale was $ 1.00 , reflecting the encumbered nature of BPA, which at the time was involved in the Chapter 11 Cases. This transaction, referred to herein as 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. On July 3, 2025, XBP Europe Holdings, Inc., entered into a Transaction Support Agreement with the BPA Debtors. Pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. agreed to, among other things, support the Plan, including seeking stockholder approvals at XBP Europe Holdings, Inc.’s annual shareholder meeting and issuing shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as described in XBP Europe Holdings, Inc.’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on July 15, 2025. On July 29, 2025, BPA consummated the transaction under the Plan and emerged from bankruptcy having satisfied or waived all the conditions set forth in the Plan and therefore, the conditions subsequent to the MIPA were cleared and the acquisition transaction was deemed closed from an accounting perspective on July 29, 2025.
17
Table of Contents
Under ASC 805, Business Combinations , BPA was determined as the accounting acquirer based on the following predominate factors: following the Emergence Date BPA’s former noteholders (who received the Company’s Common Stock as part of the Plan), had the largest portion of voting rights in the Company relative to the owners of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the Emergence Date, following the Emergence Date, the Company’s seven person board of directors has four new individuals nominated by the former noteholders of BPA pursuant to a one time right under the Plan, compared to three individuals remaining from the Company’s board of directors prior to the Emergence Date, and BPA was the significantly larger entity by revenue and by assets. The Company elected to apply business acquisition accounting effective July 31, 2025, to coincide with the timing of its normal accounting period close as well as the Convenience Date used for fresh start accounting of BPA (as discussed above). The Company evaluated the events between July 29, 2025 and July 31, 2025 and concluded that the use of an accounting convenience date of July 31, 2025 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.
In connection with the Business Combination, certain of Company’s subsidiaries acquired debt facilities totaling $ 49.0 million outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities Agreement as discussed in Note 6, Long Term Debt and Credit Facilities . Following the guidance under ASC 805 total fair value of purchase consideration for the transaction was measured at $ 32.3 million representing the 3,591,555 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the combined entity XBP Global Holdings, Inc.) previously issued to the stockholders of XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. The Company incurred $ 0.1 million of equity issuance costs and $ 0.2 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Business Combination.
The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. were recorded at their estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation for the Business Combination is preliminary and subject to change within the respective measurement period, which will not extend beyond one year from the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.
The following table summarizes the consideration paid for XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. by BPA for accounting purposes and the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Convenience Date, including adjustments made in the last three months of 2025 (measurement period adjustments) with a corresponding change to goodwill.

(a) The change in the estimated fair value is primarily to better reflect market participant assumptions about facts and circumstances existing as of the convenience date. The measurement period adjustments did not result from intervening events subsequent to the convenience date.
(b) As adjusted, comprised of $ 3.8 million decrease in pension liabilities and $ 0.7 million increase in accrued liabilities due to pension related adjustments with a resulting $ 3.1 million decrease in implied goodwill. This measurement period adjustment did not have a material impact on our earnings.
(c) As adjusted, comprised of $ 2.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets due to income tax receivables, $ 3.0 million increase in accrued liabilities due to income tax payable, $ 2.3 million decrease in net deferred income tax assets with a resulting $ 3.2 million increase in implied goodwill. This measurement period adjustment did not have a material impact on our earnings.
The identifiable intangible assets include trade name and trademarks, customer relationships and internally developed software. Trade name and trademarks 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.

As of the date of the Business Combination, the weighted-average useful life of total identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Business Combination, excluding goodwill, is 11.7 years.
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. All estimates, key assumptions, and forecasts were either provided by or reviewed by the Company.
Transaction Costs
The Company incurred approximately $ 2.5 million in advisory, legal, accounting and management fees in conjunction with the Business Combination. These costs do not include the legal and other fees paid for the Restructuring as discussed in Note 1 , General .

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. In December 2025, the Company issued an additional $ 4.0 million in aggregate of principal amount of the July 2030 Notes generating net proceeds of $ 3.5 million. 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. $ 187.0 million aggregate principal amount of the July 2030 Notes remained outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
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, 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, ABL 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 hold first-priority liens and July 2030 Noteholders share equal second-priority liens on a pari passu basis with holders of outstanding general unsecured claims in the Chapter 11 Cases, 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 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 (as amended, the “Super Senior Term Loan”), in accordance with the Plan. The Super Senior Term Loan provided for an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 46.0 million in senior secured
22
Table of Contents
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. On February 13, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the Super Senior Term Loan pursuant to which entities controlled by Avenue Capital Group, one of the three largest beneficial owners of the Company, agreed to extend incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $ 4.0 million for working capital and general corporate purposes, bringing total outstanding borrowings under the Super Senior Term Loan to $ 50.0 million. 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, or (b) at Term SOFR, subject to a 4.0 % floor, plus 11.7 % per annum. 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 March 31, 2026, there were borrowings of $ 50.0 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, 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 such financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.
Second Lien Note
On February 27, 2023, BPA, through its subsidiary Exela Receivables 3, LLC, and BRF Finance Co., LLC entered into a 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 (as amended, 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, BPA 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 Second Lien Note matures on September 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
23
Table of Contents
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 Note 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 such financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.
During the periods August 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (Successor) and January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025 (Predecessor), the Company repaid $ 3.8 million and $ 6.0 million, respectively, in principal amount of the Second Lien Note. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor), the Company repaid $ 3.3 million principal amount of the Second Lien Note. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) and March 31, 2025 (Predecessor) totaled $ 0 and $ 0.1 million, respectively and represents write off of debt issuance costs. Loss on the early extinguishment of debt is reported within debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net within the Company’s condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026 (Successor), there were borrowings of $ 12.5 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 (as amended, the “ABL Facility”) with MidCap Funding IV Trust, as administrative and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and a syndicate of lenders (the “ABL Lenders”). The ABL Facility was executed in connection with 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 March 31, 2026 (Successor), there were borrowings of $ 70.2 million outstanding under the ABL Facility. There were unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 1.9 million on the ABL Facility as of March 31, 2026 included in other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. 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, certain 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

Table of Contents
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 (as defined therein), 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. 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. On March 6, 2026, the ABL Borrowers, the Agent and the ABL Lenders entered into a Limited Waiver and Third Amendment to the ABL Facility. Among other things, this amendment (i) eliminates a covenant requiring the ABL Borrower to maintain a minimum excess availability of $ 7.5 million; (ii) implements a temporary availability block through June 30, 2026, which reduces borrowing capacity by the greater of $ 3.75 million or 5.0 % of the borrowing base if the ABL Borrower’s fixed charge coverage ratio falls below 1.00 to 1.00; (iii) temporarily increases the advance rate for eligible investment grade billed accounts to 95.0 % through September 30, 2026; (iv) adjusts the calculation of the borrowing base; (v) amends the mechanics governing the cash dominion period; and (vi) resets the deferred revolving loan origination fee. The Company was in compliance with such financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.
European Senior Credit Facilities Agreement
In June 2024, XBP Europe, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, together with certain other subsidiaries, entered into a Facilities Agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) with HSBC UK Bank plc (“HSBC”) for a £ 15.0 million and € 10.5 million secured credit facility consisting of (i) a single draw, secured Term Loan A facility in an aggregate principal amount of £ 3.0 million (the “2028 Term Loan A Facility”), (ii) a single draw, secured Term Loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of € 10.5 million (the “2028 Term Loan B Facility”, collectively with the 2028 Term Loan A Facility, the “2028 Term Loan Facilities”) and (iii) a multi-draw, multi-currency secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of £ 12.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and, together with the 2028 Term Loan Facilities, (the “European Senior Credit Facilities”). Pursuant to the original Facilities Agreement, the 2028 Term Loan Facilities mature on June 26, 2028, and the Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 26, 2027, with certain extension rights at the discretion of HSBC. Borrowings under the 2028 Term Loan A Facility, the 2028 Term Loan B Facility and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the SONIA plus the applicable margin of 3.25 %, Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus the applicable margin of 3.25 % and Reference Rate plus the applicable margin of 3.25 %, respectively. “Reference Rate” for any period means (i) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for funds extended in U.S. Dollars; (ii) the EURIBOR, for funds extended in Euros; (iii) the SONIA, for funds extended in Pounds Sterling; and the Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (“STIBOR”) for funds extended in Swedish Krona.
On July 25, 2025, an amendment to the Facilities Agreement was executed to permit the borrowing of an additional sum of € 16.1 million, the equivalent of £ 14.0 million, under the Revolving Credit Facility. The drawdowns were made in Euro and used for general corporate purposes. This amendment extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to June 26, 2028, and updated certain definitions and covenants reflecting the Company’s new corporate structure following the Business Combination as discussed in Note 4 , Business Combination .
The European Senior Credit Facilities continue to be secured by first-ranking security interests over substantially all assets of XBP Europe, Inc. and other borrower and guarantor subsidiaries, including cash, receivables,
25
Table of Contents
inventory, intercompany receivables, shares in subsidiaries, and related assets. The amendment added a new covenant restricting XBP Global Holdings, Inc., as the parent of XBP Europe, Inc., from providing certain guarantees or other credit support. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, all obligations under the Facilities Agreement are jointly and severally unconditionally guaranteed by the European subsidiaries of XBP Europe, Inc.
The outstanding principal amount of the 2028 Term Loan A Facility is scheduled to be repaid in fifteen (15) equal quarterly installments of £ 150 thousand, which commenced September 30, 2024, with the remaining outstanding principal amount of £ 750 thousand payable at maturity along with accrued and unpaid interest. The outstanding principal amount of the 2028 Term Loan B Facility is scheduled to be repaid in fifteen (15) equal quarterly installments of € 525 thousand, which commenced September 30, 2024, with the remaining outstanding principal amount of € 2.6 million payable at maturity along with accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may, at any time, prepay the principal of the Senior Credit Facilities. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest, without any premium or penalty.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all other affirmative and negative covenants under the Facilities Agreement pertaining to its financing arrangements.
BR Exar AR Facility
On February 12, 2024, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a receivables purchase agreement with BR Exar, LLC (“BREL”), an affiliate of B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC (as subsequently amended on various dates in connection with each monthly sale of certain existing receivables, up to and including December 31, 2025 (the “BR Exar AR Facility”)). The Company received an aggregate of $ 15.2 million and $ 22.1 million, net of legal and other fees of $ 1.8 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively, under the BR Exar AR Facility during the periods August 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (Successor) and January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025 (Predecessor), respectively. Under the terms of the BR Exar AR Facility during the periods August 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (Successor) and January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025 (Predecessor), certain of the Company’s subsidiaries agreed to sell certain existing receivables and all of their future receivables to BREL until such time as BREL shall have collected $ 17.0 million and $ 25.5 million, respectively, net of any costs, expenses or other amounts paid to or owing to the buyer under the agreement. BREL collected $ 23.0 million and $ 25.8 million under the BR Exar AR Facility during the periods August 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (Successor) and January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025 (Predecessor), respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was a $ 1.4 million of outstanding balance under the BR Exar AR Facility included in the current portion of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

26
Table of Contents
Under the BR Exar AR Facility, transfers of accounts receivable from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to BREL are treated as secured borrowings under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing and are not accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company treated total of $ 0 and $ 0.1 million of legal fee and other expense incurred under the BR Exar AR Facility as debt issuances cost, and $ 0 and $ 0.4 million of difference between the net proceeds received by the Company and total amount collected by BREL under the BR Exar AR Facility as original issue discount during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) and 2025 (Predecessor). Amortizations of the debt issuance cost and original issue discount relating to the BR Exar AR Facility are included in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations.
Amended BR Exar AR Facility
On January 21, 2026, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement with BREL (as subsequently amended on February 10, 2026 and March 27, 2026 (the “Amended BR Exar AR Facility”)), pursuant to which they agreed to sell certain existing receivables and all of their future receivables to BREL until such time as BREL shall have collected $ 20.0 million, net of any costs, expenses or other amounts paid to or owing to the buyer under the agreement. The Company received $ 19.5 million, net of amendment and legal fees of $ 0.5 million, in cash consideration for sale of these receivables under the Amended BR Exar AR Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor). As of March 31, 2026, the Company accrued $ 1.0 million of unpaid amendment fee for the amendment executed on March 27, 2026. During the period January 1, 2026 through March 31, 2026, BREL collected $ 10.3 million of outstanding principal amount under the Amended BR Exar AR Facility. There was $ 9.7 million outstanding under the Amended BR Exar AR Facility as of March 31, 2026 (Successor).
Under the Amended BR Exar AR Facility, transfers of accounts receivable from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to BREL are treated as secured borrowings under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing and are not accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company treated a total of $ 1.5 million of amendment and legal fees incurred under the Amended BR Exar AR Facility as debt issuances cost during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor). Amortizations of the debt issuance cost and original issue discount relating to the Amended BR Exar AR Facility are included in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations.
Amended Factoring Agreement
On September 15, 2023, certain European subsidiaries of the Company 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 Relevant Entities have no continuing involvement in the transferred accounts receivable, other than collection and administrative responsibilities and, once sold, the accounts receivable are no longer available to satisfy creditors of the relevant entities.
The Company accounts for the transactions under the Amended Factoring Agreement as a sale under ASC 860, 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 accounts 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 consolidated statements of cash flows.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s outstanding factored accounts receivable totalled approximately $ 3.3 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 totalling approximately $ 0.1 million for

7. Income Taxes
The Company applies an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) approach for calculating a tax provision for interim periods, as required under GAAP. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $( 1.4 ) million and income tax expense of $ 2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) and 2025 (Predecessor), respectively.
The Company's ETR for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) is 5.0 %. The Successor's ETR differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 21 % and was primarily impacted by federal and state change in valuation allowance on disallowed interest coupled with change in valuation allowance related to foreign current year NOL.
The Company's ETR of 4.9 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor) differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0 % and was primarily impacted by permanent tax adjustments, state and local current tax expense, foreign operations, and valuation allowances, including valuation allowances on a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets on U.S. disallowed interest expense carryforwards under the provisions of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”).
As of March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to either the nature or the amounts of the uncertain tax positions previously determined for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Organization of Economic Co-operating and Development has reached agreement on Pillar Two Model Rules ("Pillar Two") to implement a minimum 15.0% tax rate on certain multinational companies. Participating countries are in various stages of proposing and enacting tax laws to implement the Pillar Two framework. The Company determined the Pillar Two rules did not have a material impact on the Company's taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) and will continue to evaluate the impact of these proposals and legislative changes as new guidance emerges.
8. Employee Benefit Plans
All of the pension plans discussed below pertain to the Company’s European subsidiaries, which were deemed to be acquired as part the Business Combination (Refer to Note 4, Business Combination ).
U.K. Pension Plan
Two of the Company’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom provide pension benefits to certain retirees and eligible dependents. Employees eligible for participation included all full-time regular employees who were more than three years from retirement prior to October 2001. A retirement pension or a lump-sum payment may be paid dependent upon length of service at the mandatory retirement age. The Company accrues the cost of these benefits over the service lives of the covered employees based on an actuarial calculation. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for this plan. No new employees are registered under this plan and the pension obligation for the existing participants of the plan is calculated based on actual salary of the participants at the earlier of two dates, the participant’s leaving the Company or March 31, 2015. The expected rate of return assumptions for plan assets relate solely to the UK plan and are based mainly on historical performance achieved over a long period of time ( 15 to 20 years ) encompassing many business and economic cycles.
German Pension Plan
XBP Global’s subsidiary in Germany, Exela Technologies ECM Solutions GmbH, provides pension benefits to certain retirees. Employees eligible for participation include all employees who started working for the Company or its predecessors prior to September 30, 1987 and have finished a qualifying period of at least 10 years . The Company accrues the cost of these benefits over the service lives of the covered employees based on an actuarial calculation. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for this plan. The German pension plan is an unfunded plan and therefore has no plan assets. No new employees are registered under this plan and the participants who are already eligible to receive benefits under this plan are no longer employees of the Company.

Table of Contents
Norway Pension Plan
The Company’s subsidiary in Norway provides pension benefits to eligible retirees and eligible dependents. Employees eligible for participation include all employees who were more than three years from retirement prior to March 2018. The Company accrues the cost of these benefits over the service lives of the covered employees based on an actuarial calculation. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for this plan. No new employees are registered under this plan and the pension obligation for the existing participants of the plan is calculated based on actual salary of the participants at the earlier of two dates, the participants leaving the Company’s subsidiary or April 30, 2018.
Asterion Pension Plan
In 2018, Exela Technologies Holding GmbH, acquired the obligation to provide pension benefits to eligible retirees and eligible dependents. Employees eligible for participation included all full-time regular employees who were more than three years from retirement prior to July 2003. A retirement pension or a lump-sum payment may be paid dependent upon length of service at the mandatory retirement age. The Company accrues the cost of these benefits over the service lives of the covered employees based on an actuarial calculation. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for this plan. No new employees are registered under this plan and the pension obligation for the existing participants of the plan is calculated based on actual salary of the participants at the earlier of two dates, the participant’s leaving the Company or April 10, 2018.
Tax Effect on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $ 1.6 million of actuarial gain.
Pension Expense
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) are as follows:

The Company records pension interest cost within interest expense, net. Expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs, and amortization of net losses are recorded within other expense (income), net. Service cost is recorded within cost of revenue.
Employer Contributions
XBP Global’s funding of employer contributions is based on governmental requirements and differs from those methods used to recognize pension expense. The Company made contributions of $ 0.2 million to its pension plans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor). The Company expects to fund the pension plans with the required contributions for 2026 based on current plan provisions.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is, from time to time, involved in certain legal proceedings, inquiries, claims and disputes, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Although management cannot predict the outcomes of these matters, management does not believe any of these actions that are currently pending will have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations or condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows.
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.
10. 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Management estimated the fair values of the Company’s July 2030 Notes at approximately 86.1 % and 87.9 % of the principal balance outstanding as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Successor). The fair values of secured borrowings under the Amended BR Exar AR Facility, the Second Lien Note, the Super Senior Term Loan, the ABL Facility, the 2028 Term Loan Facilities and the Revolving Credit Facility are equal to their respective carrying values. Other debt represents the Company’s outstanding loan balances associated with various hardware, software purchases, maintenance and leasehold improvements along with other loans entered into 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 March 31, 2026 under Level 3 fair value measurement using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

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.

The total shares withheld were 9,430 shares and were based on the value of the RSUs on their respective vesting dates as determined by the Company’s closing stock price. Total payment for the employee’s tax obligations to taxing authorities were approximately $ 0.1 million and is reflected as a financing activity within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor).

Public Warrants
The Public Warrants qualify for the derivative scope exception under ASC 815 and are therefore classified as equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Every ten warrants may be exercised for one whole share of Common Stock at a price of $ 115.00 per share. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants are currently exercisable and will expire November 29, 2028, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants if the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $ 180.00 (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants):
● in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant;
● upon not less than 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
● if, and only if, the closing price of the Common stock equals or exceeds $ 180.00 per share (as adjusted) for any of 20 trading days within a 30 - trading day period and ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to affect such registration or qualification.
Private Placement and Forward Purchase Warrants

Transactions between the Predecessor and XBP Europe Holdings, Inc.
XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “XBP Europe”) was a subsidiary of ETI and an affiliate of the Predecessor until the Business Combination. Historically, XBP Europe and its predecessor entities and subsidiaries were managed and operated in the ordinary course of business with other subsidiaries of ETI including the Predecessor. Below are the transactions that occurred between the Predecessor and XBP Europe during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).

Shared Service Center Costs: the historical costs and expenses of XBP Europe include costs for certain shared service functions historically provided by the Predecessor, including, but not limited to accounting and finance, IT and business process operations. Where possible, these charges were allocated based on full-time equivalents (FTEs), formal agreements between the Predecessor and XBP Europe, or other allocation methodologies that Management determined to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by XBP Europe and the costs of operating XBP Europe during the periods presented. The allocated shared service expenses and general corporate expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor) were $ 0.8 million, and are included in the related party revenue in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations.

The amounts that would have been, or will be incurred, on a stand-alone basis could differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been incurred had XBP Europe operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from the Predecessor. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.

14. Segment Information
The Company’s operating segments are significant strategic business units that align its products and services with how it manages its business, approaches the markets and interacts with its clients. The Company is organized into two segments: 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’ 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.
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, related party expense, net, interest expense, net, debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net, sundry expenses (income), net, and other expense (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.
