The year-over-year declines in three- and six-month 2024 Adjusted EBITDA were due to higher employee-related costs in the second quarter, reflecting the introduction of a new senior management team to execute the company’s expansive growth plan.

Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of QXO, said, “I’m pleased that we’ve achieved three significant milestones in less than 10 weeks since launching QXO. We have an accomplished senior management team and board of directors in place, and approximately $5 billion of cash to execute our strategy, following two private placements. These are all cornerstones of our plan to become a tech-forward leader in building products distribution through accretive acquisitions and organic growth.”

For more details on QXO’s three- and six-month results, refer to the company’s Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), accessible at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As required by the rules of the SEC, we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this press release. QXO’s non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include Adjusted EBITDA.

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

Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for share-based compensation, transaction, and severance costs as set forth in the attached reconciliation. Transaction adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an actual or planned acquisition or divestiture and may include transaction costs, consulting fees, retention awards, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating QXO’s ongoing performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA improves comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables that management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses.

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

Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about beliefs, expectations, targets and goals are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on plans, estimates, expectations and/or goals at the time the statements are made, and readers should not place undue reliance on them. In some cases, readers can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “opportunity,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “target,” “goal,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and readers are cautioned that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein include, among others:

• risks associated with potential significant volatility and fluctuations in the market price of the company’s common stock;
• risks associated with raising additional equity or debt capital from public or private markets to pursue the company’s business plan, including potentially one or more additional private placements of common stock, and the effects that raising such capital may have on the company and its business, including the risk of substantial dilution or that the company’s common stock may experience a substantial decline in trading price;
• the possibility that additional future financings may not be available to the company on acceptable terms or at all;
• the possibility that an active, liquid trading market for the company’s common stock may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained;
• the possibility that the company’s outstanding warrants and preferred stock may or may not be converted or exercised, and the economic impact on the company and the holders of common stock of the company that may result from either such exercise or conversion, including dilution, or the continuance of the preferred stock remaining outstanding, and the impact its terms, including its dividend, may have on the company and the common stock of the company;
• uncertainties regarding the company’s focus, strategic plans and other management actions;
• the risk that the company is or becomes highly dependent on the continued leadership of Brad Jacobs as chairman and chief executive officer and the possibility that the loss of Mr. Jacobs in these roles could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations;
• the possibility that the concentration of ownership by Mr. Jacobs may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the company and might affect the market price of shares of the common stock of the company;
• the risk that Mr. Jacobs’ past performance may not be representative of future results;
• the risk that the company is unable to attract and retain world-class talent;
• the risk that the failure to consummate any acquisition expeditiously, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business prospects, financial condition, results of operations or the price of the company’s common stock;
• risks that the company may not be able to enter into agreements with acquisition targets on attractive terms, or at all, that agreed acquisitions may not be consummated, or, if consummated, that the anticipated benefits thereof may not be realized and that the company encounter difficulties in integrating and operating such acquired companies, or that matters related to an acquired business (including operating results or liabilities or contingencies) may have a negative effect on the company or its securities or ability to implement its business strategy, including that any such transaction may be dilutive or have other negative consequences to the company and its value or the trading prices of its securities;
• risks associated with cybersecurity and technology, including attempts by third parties to defeat the security measures of the company and its business partners, and the loss of confidential information and other business disruptions;
• the possibility that new investors in any future financing transactions could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the company’s existing stockholders;
• the possibility that building products distribution industry demand may soften or shift substantially due to cyclicality or seasonality or dependence on general economic conditions, including inflation or deflation, interest rates, governmental subsidies or incentives, consumer confidence, labor and supply shortages, weather and commodity prices;
• the possibility that regional or global barriers to trade or a global trade war could increase the cost of products in the building products distribution industry, which could adversely impact the competitiveness of such products and the financial results of businesses in the industry;
• risks associated with periodic litigation, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions, which may adversely affect the company’s business and financial performance;
• uncertainties regarding general economic, business, competitive, legal, regulatory, tax and geopolitical conditions; and
• other factors, including those set forth in the company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
  

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events, and you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors.
