基本財務報表附註
(以千美元計,除股份和每股金額外,或另有說明) 備註)
(未經審計)
1. 一般
這些合併財務報表應與截至於2023年12月31日的合併財務報表附註一起閱讀,這些附註包含在exela technologies, inc.(「公司」或「Exela」)於2024年4月3日向證券交易委員會(「SEC」)提交的2023年年度報告(「2023年Form 10-K」)中,並在SEC網站http://www.sec.gov上可獲得。
附帶的合併財務報表及相關附註包括公司的帳戶、全資子公司以及XBP Europe Holdings, Inc.(「XBP 歐洲」),一家由公司控股的上市公司。附帶的合併財務報表是根據美國普遍接受的會計原則(「GAAP」)以及適用於臨時財務信息的1933年證券法(已修訂)下的Form 10-Q說明和S-X規則10-01編制的。因此,它們不包括GAAP要求的完整財務報表所需的所有信息和附註。這些會計原則要求公司使用影響報告資產、負債、收入和費用報告金額以及或有資產和負債披露的估計和假設。實際結果可能與公司的估計存在差異。
合併財務報表未經審計,但包括所有必要的調整(包括正常的例行調整),以公平陳述該期間的結果。臨時財務結果不一定代表任何其他臨時期間或財政年度可能預期的結果。
持續經營
公司有責任評估條件和/或事件是否對其能否在財務報表發佈後的一年內按時履行義務產生重大疑慮。管理層的評估最初並未考慮財務報表發佈時未完全實施的管理計劃可能帶來的減輕效果。
在進行此評估時,公司得出的結論是,以下條件對其作爲持續經營能力提出了實質性懷疑:
● | 歷史上淨虧損,包括 $ |
● | 截至2024年9月30日的九個月內淨運營現金流出 $ |
● | 截至2024年9月30日,存在流動資金赤字 $ |
● | 截至2024年9月30日,累計赤字 $ |
● | 2024年11月8日,納斯達克將公司的普通股除牌; |
● | 在2025年1月15日到期的2026年4月票據上支付利息的義務,金額約爲 $ |
● | 其他當前債務到期金額約爲 $ |
公司針對這種不確定性的計劃包括以下措施,以改善可用現金餘額、流動性或從運營中產生的現金:
● | 完成執行2024財政年度及以後確定的節省成本的流程;以及 |
● | 獲得新的融資資本和/或現有債務設施的再融資或重組。 |

However, the Company’s ability to execute its operational plans is uncertain and its ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, the Company’s performance and investor sentiment with respect to the Company and its industry. Should the Company be unable to execute on its plans it may need to consider restructuring. Due to the uncertainty associated with Management’s plans, the Company has determined that substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern exists as of September 30, 2024. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As such, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
每股淨虧損
Earnings per share (「EPS」) is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, using the more dilutive of the two-class method and the if-converted method in the period of earnings. The two class method is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share (when there are earnings) for common stock and participating securities. The if-converted method assumes all convertible securities are converted into common stock. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.
As the Company experienced net losses for the periods presented, the impact of the Company’s Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (「Series A Preferred Stock」) and Series b Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the 「Series b Preferred Stock」), was calculated using the if-converted method. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series b Preferred Stock, if converted would have resulted in an additional

合併協議
2022年10月9日,公司簽訂了最終合併協議,將其歐洲業務與特殊目的收購公司CF Acquisition Corp. VIII(「CFFE」)合併,成立一家新的上市公司XBP歐洲控股有限公司(「XBP Europe」),該公司是ITPS板塊(定義見附註3 — 重要會計政策)。根據公認會計原則,業務合併計爲反向資本化。根據這種會計方法,就財務報告而言,CFFE被視爲 「被收購」 的公司,而XBP Europe作爲CFFE的直接全資子公司得以倖存。
2023年11月29日交易完成後,該公司的歐洲業務以XBP歐洲的名義運營,該公司擁有
出售非核心資產
2023年6月8日,該公司完成了對高速掃描儀業務的出售,該業務是其ITPS細分市場的一部分(定義見附註3 — 重要會計政策),購買價格約爲 $
待售
在所有歸類爲待售的相關標準均得到滿足期間,公司將資產歸類爲待售資產(「處置組」)。這些標準包括管理層承諾以目前的狀態出售處置集團,以及認爲出售可能在一年內完成。持有待售資產按賬面價值或估計公允價值減去出售成本的較低值列報。處置集團的公允價值是使用公認的估值技術(包括指示性上市價格)估算的。公司會考慮歷史經驗、從第三方獲得的指導以及估算時可用的所有信息,得出公允價值。計量造成的任何損失將在滿足待售標準的時期內予以確認。只要新的賬面價值不超過處置組的初始賬面價值,公司就會評估處置集團的公允價值減去任何出售成本,並在每個報告期內將其歸類爲待售處置集團賬面價值的調整,並將任何後續變化報告爲處置集團賬面價值的調整。持有待售資產不攤銷或折舊。
截至2024年9月30日,XBP Europe的某些按需印刷業務符合待售的分類標準,因此按賬面價值計量,因爲其賬面價值低於其估計的公允價值減去銷售成本。公司記錄的商譽減值費用爲美元

3. Significant Accounting Policies
The information presented below supplements the Significant Accounting Policies information presented in the 2023 Form 10-K.
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 the 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 within each of the Company’s segments. The Company does not have any significant extended payment terms, as payment is 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 business processing 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.
Disaggregation of Revenues
The Company is organized into

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

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 $
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 identify each distinct performance obligation. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts. For the majority of the Company’s business and transaction processing service contracts, revenues are recognized as services are provided based on an appropriate input or output method, typically based on the related labor or transactional volumes.
Certain of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations, including contracts that combine software implementation services with post-implementation customer support. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which the Company estimates its expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and add 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 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 reduce 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.

On July 11, 2023, the Company entered into a seventh supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the July 2026 Notes which eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminated certain events of default, modified covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modified or eliminated certain other provisions, including certain provisions relating to future guarantors and defeasance, contained in the July 2026 Notes Indenture and the July 2026 Notes. In addition, all of the collateral securing the July 2026 Notes was released pursuant to the seventh supplemental indenture.
The July 11, 2023 transaction resulted in cancellation of debt income (“CODI”) for tax purposes. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes CODI upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than the outstanding debt. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), provides that a debtor may wholly or partially exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of CODI excluded from taxable income. Pursuant to the U.S. tax rules, the Company computes the final CODI calculation based on the tax basis as of the last day of the fiscal tax year (i.e., December 31, 2023) which includes the date in which the debt transaction occurred. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated CODI in the amount of $

The April 2026 Notes and the related guarantees are first-priority senior secured obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantors and Affiliated Guarantors.

These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. In addition, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Issuers must offer to repurchase the April 2026 Notes at

The Company expects U.S. consolidated taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to inability to deduct most interest expense in accordance with Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 163(j). Since the enactment of IRC 163(j), the Company has been able to claim net operating loss deductions to eliminate U.S. consolidated tax liabilities. On July 11, 2023, a supplemental indenture was entered into with respect to the July 2026 Notes, which generated significant cancellation of indebtedness income (CODI) for tax purposes, most of which was excluded from taxable income. Under the provisions of IRC Section 108, on January 1, 2024 the Company reduced tax attributes, including all its Exela U.S. consolidated net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. Accordingly, in 2024 the Company will generate current U.S consolidated tax liabilities, which is reflected in the income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

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 or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
9. Fair Value Measurement
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The carrying amount of assets and liabilities including current portion of other debt approximated their fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to the relative short maturity of these instruments. Management estimates the fair values of the July 2026 Notes and the April 2026 Notes at approximately
The Company determined the fair value of its long-term debt and current portion of long-term debts using Level 2 inputs, including any recent issuance of the debt, the Company’s credit rating, and the current market rate.
25
The Company determined the fair value of private warrants liability of XBP Europe included in the other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 under Level 3 fair value measurement using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The following table provides the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value of the private warrants liability of XBP Europe are assumptions related to the inputs of exercise price, fair value of the underlying XBP Europe 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.

On August 10, 2022, the Board authorized a share buyback program (the “2022 Share Buyback Program”), pursuant to which the Company is permitted to repurchase up to
The Company records such stock repurchases as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. The Company allocates the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital. The portion allocated to additional paid-in capital is determined by dividing the number of shares to be retired by the number of shares issued multiplied by the balance of additional paid-in capital as of the retirement date.

Upon the redemption of a holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock or the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock, an equal number of such holder’s shares of Tandem Preferred Stock shall, without any further action required by the holder, be automatically transferred to the Company for cancellation without the payment of any additional consideration by the Company. In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company each holder of the Tandem Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount in cash equal to the par value of such Tandem Preferred Stock with respect to each share of Tandem Preferred Stock held by such holder.

13. Segment and Geographic Area 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 customers. The Company is organized into
ITPS: The ITPS segment provides a wide range of solutions and services designed to aid businesses in information capture, processing, decisioning and distribution to customers primarily in the financial services, commercial, public sector and legal industries.
HS: The HS segment operates and maintains an outsourcing business specializing in both the healthcare provider and payer markets.
LLPS: The LLPS segment provides a broad array of support services in connection with class action settlement administration, claims adjudication, labor, employment and other legal matters.
35
The chief operating decision maker reviews segment profit to evaluate operating segment performance and determine how to allocate resources to operating segments. “Segment profit” is defined as revenue less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The Company does not allocate selling, general, and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net and sundry expenses (income), net. 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.

Nasdaq Delisting
As previously disclosed, the Company was notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company was in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) because the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities was below the minimum requirement of $35 million for 30 consecutive business days and the Company failed to satisfy any of the alternative requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b). After the Company requested an appeal hearing, which stayed the delisting action, the Company was unable to regain compliance by November 1, 2024, which is the deadline that was set by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). On November 6, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Panel had determined to delist the Company’s common stock and that trading of the Company’s securities would be suspended at the open of trading on November 8, 2024. Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the SEC notifying the SEC of Nasdaq’s determination to remove the Company’s securities from listing on Nasdaq. The Company will remain subject to SEC reporting obligations. As a result of the delisting, the Company’s common stock and Series B Preferred Stock began trading on the OTC Pink under the symbols“XELA” and “XELAP” on November 8, 2024, and such market is currently the only trading market for the Company’s securities. We anticipate that Nasdaq will soon file a Form 25-NSE with the SEC to formally remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq, although the exact timing of such filing is currently unknown.
Series A Preferred Stock Exchange
On November 12, 2024 a special committee of independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a negotiated share exchange whereby the Company would enter into Preferred Stock Exchange Agreements (each an "Exchange Agreement") with certain holders of 55% of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, with an aggregate accrued, but unpaid, Series A Liquidation Preference of $25.2 million to exchange such shares into Common Stock at a price that will be equal to the liquidation preference per share divided by the lesser of (x) the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTC Pink as of 4 p.m. on the business day immediately preceding the Exchange Agreement effective date and (y) the average closing price of the Common Stock for the two (2) trading days immediately preceding the closing of the Exchange Agreement (such exchange, the “Exchange” and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Exchange, the "Exchange Common Shares"). The Exchange is being conducted separately from the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designations. The Closing of the Exchange is expected to occur on the third business day following the filing of this Form 10-Q. Nearly all the holders of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock that are expected to participate in the Exchange are related-parties of the Company, including certain funds associated with HGM, an affiliate of the Company; Par Chadha, the Company's Executive Chairman; Matthew Brown, the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer; Suresh Yannamani, the Chief Executive Officer of one of the Company’s subsidiaries; James Reynolds, a director of the Company; and Ronald Cogburn, a director of the Company. While the number of Exchange Common Shares to be issued is currently indeterminable, if the Exchange closed on November 14, 2024, 22.4 million Exchange Common Shares would be issued pursuant to the Exchange and $25.2 million of aggregate Series A Liquidation Preference would be extinguished. Closing of the Exchange remains subject to receipt of finally signed documents from both the Company and participating Series A Preferred Stockholders, and there can be no assurance that the Exchange will occurr.

History
We are a former special purpose acquisition company that completed our initial public offering on January 22, 2015. In July 2017, Exela, formerly known as Quinpario Acquisition Corp. 2 (“Quinpario”), completed its acquisition of SourceHOV Holdings, Inc. (“SourceHOV”) and Novitex Holdings, Inc. (“Novitex”) pursuant to a business combination agreement dated February 21, 2017 (“Novitex Business Combination”). In conjunction with the completion of the Novitex Business Combination, Quinpario was renamed Exela Technologies, Inc.
The Novitex Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse merger for which SourceHOV was determined to be the accounting acquirer. Outstanding shares of SourceHOV were converted into shares of our common stock (“Common Stock”), presented as a recapitalization, and the net assets of Quinpario were acquired at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The acquisition of Novitex was treated as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and was accounted for using the acquisition method. The strategic combination of SourceHOV and Novitex formed Exela, which is one of the largest global providers of information processing solutions based on revenues.
On November 29, 2023, we completed the merger of our European business with CF Acquisition Corp. VIII. After this merger, our European business operates as XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. (“XBP Europe”), a majority-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Beginning on November 30, 2023, XBP Europe shares and warrants started trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbols “XBP” “XBPEW,” respectively. We own a majority of the outstanding capital stock of XBP Europe.
Sale of Non-core Assets
On June 8, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its high-speed scanner business for a purchase price of approximately $30.1 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company disposed of $16.5 million of goodwill based on the relative fair value of the high-speed scanner business to the total fair value of the ITPS reporting unit. This transaction resulted in a total pre-tax gain of $7.2 million. Per the terms of the sales agreement, the Company may receive additional cash consideration upon the future occurrence of certain earn-out events described in the sales agreement.
Recent Developments
As previously disclosed, we were notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that we were in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) because our Market Value of Listed Securities was below the minimum requirement of $35 million for 30 consecutive business days and we failed to satisfy any of the alternative requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b). After we requested an appeal hearing, which stayed the delisting action, we were unable to regain compliance by November 1, 2024, which is the deadline that was set by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). On November 6, 2024, Nasdaq notified us that the Panel had determined to delist our common stock and that trading of our securities would be suspended at the open of trading on November 8, 2024. Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the SEC notifying the SEC of Nasdaq’s determination to remove our securities from listing on Nasdaq. We will remain subject to SEC reporting obligations. As a result of the delisting, our common stock and Series B Preferred Stock began trading on the OTC Pink under the symbols“XELA” and “XELAP” on November 8, 2024, and such market is currently the only trading market for our securities. We anticipate that Nasdaq will soon file a Form 25-NSE with the SEC to formally remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq, although the exact timing of such filing is currently unknown.

ITPS: Our largest segment, ITPS, provides a wide range of solutions and services designed to aid businesses in information capture, processing, decisioning and distribution to customers primarily in the financial services, commercial, public sector and legal industries. Our major customers include many leading banks, insurance companies, and utilities, as well as hundreds of federal, state and local government entities. Our ITPS offerings enable companies to increase availability of working capital, reduce turnaround times for application processes, increase regulatory compliance and enhance consumer engagement.
HS: HS operates and maintains an outsourcing business specializing in both the healthcare provider and payer markets. We serve the top healthcare insurance payers and hundreds of healthcare providers.
LLPS: Our LLPS segment provides a broad array of support services in connection with class action settlement administration, claims adjudication, labor, employment and other legal matters. Our customer base consists of corporate counsel, government attorneys, and law firms.
Revenues
ITPS revenues are primarily generated from a transaction based pricing model for the various types of volumes processed, licensing and maintenance fees for technology sales, and a mix of fixed management fee and transactional revenue for document logistics and location services. HS revenues are primarily generated from a transaction based pricing model for the various types of volumes processed for healthcare payers and providers. LLPS revenues are primarily based on time and materials pricing as well as through transactional services priced on a per item basis.
People
We draw on the business and technical expertise of our talented and diverse global workforce to provide our customers with high quality services. Our business leaders bring a strong diversity of experience in our industry and a track record of successful performance and execution.
As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately 12,600 employees globally, with 6,200 employees located in Americas and EMEA, and the remainder located primarily in India and the Philippines.
Costs associated with our employees represent the most significant expense for our business. We incurred personnel costs of $110.3 million and $121.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We incurred personnel costs of $332.4 million and $376.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The majority of our personnel costs are variable and are incurred only while we are providing our services. In certain jurisdictions, including several countries in Europe, there is a statutory payment requirement for any person made redundant due to automation or relocation of delivery locations.
Key Performance Indicators
We use a variety of operational and financial measures to assess our performance. Among the measures considered by our management are the following:
● | Revenue by segment; |
41
● | EBITDA; and |
● | Adjusted EBITDA |
Revenue by segment
We analyze our revenue by comparing actual monthly revenue to internal projections and prior periods across our operating segments in order to assess performance, identify potential areas for improvement, and determine whether our segments are meeting management’s expectations.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance of our consolidated operations. We define EBITDA as net loss, plus income tax expense, interest expense, net, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus transaction and integration costs; non cash equity compensation, (gain) or loss from sale or disposal of assets or business, non-recurring charges and impairment charges; and other infrequent, or unusual costs and expenses. See “Other Financial Information (Non GAAP Financial Measures)” for more information and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, our revenue on a consolidated basis increased by $16.0 million, or 6.3%, to $269.2 million from $253.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We experienced revenue growth in ITPS segment and revenue decline in HS and LLPS segment. Our ITPS, HS, and LLPS segments constituted 71.3%, 21.8%, and 6.9% of total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 68.0%, 24.5%, and 7.5%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The revenue changes by reporting segment were as follows:
ITPS— For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue attributable to our ITPS segment increased by $19.8 million, or 11.5% compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of this revenue growth is attributable to existing contracts and statements of work from certain customers. The reported ITPS segment revenue increased by $0.7 million from currency conversion during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
HS— For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue attributable to our HS segment decreased by $3.3 million, or 5.3% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower volume from existing customers.
LLPS— For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue attributable to our LLPS segment decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.4% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an decrease in project based engagements in legal claims administration services.
Cost of Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, our cost of revenue increased by $16.5 million, or 8.3%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Costs in our ITPS segment increased by $18.2 million, or 12.9%, primarily attributable to the corresponding growth in revenues. HS segment costs decreased by $3.4 million, or 7.4%, primarily due to decrease in employee-related cost. LLPS segment cost of revenue increased by $1.6 million, or 14.2%, primarily attributable to the increase in employee related cost.
The increase in cost of revenues on a consolidated basis was primarily due to a increase in postage cost of $30.0 million and other operating costs of $2.2 million, offset by lower employee-related costs of $13.2 million and lower infrastructure and maintenance costs of $2.6 million.
Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 79.8% of revenue compared to the 78.4% for the comparable same period in the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) decreased $0.3 million, or 0.8%, to $35.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $35.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower legal and professional fees of $3.5 million, $3.5 million in business interruption insurance recoveries offset by higher infrastructure, maintenance and operating costs of $1.1 million, higher employee related costs by $1.6 million, higher bad debts provisions by $2.0 million, higher other SG&A expenses of $1.8 million and higher travel cost by $0.2 million. SG&A expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues to 13.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 14.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Depreciation & Amortization

Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net was $23.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net
There was $0.3 million of debt modification and extinguishment cost for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased $4.0 million principal amount of the Second Lien Note (as defined and further described in “Indebtedness” below) for a net cash consideration of $4.0 million. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $0.3 million and is inclusive of $0.3 million write off of debt issuance costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $0.6 million when we fully repaid and discharged the remaining outstanding balance of $48.4 million of the 2023 Term Loans (as defined and further described in “Indebtedness” below) by making a cash payment of $44.8 million and by issuance of $3.0 million principal amount of Senior Secured April 2026 notes (as defined and described further in the description of “Indebtedness” below) in an exchange transaction.
Sundry expense, net
The decrease in sundry expense, net by $0.2 million over the prior year period was primarily attributable to exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency transactions.
Other Income, net
Other income, net was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to other income, net of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded an income tax expense of $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and an income tax expense of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 is higher than the three months ended September 30, 2023 largely due to a remeasurement of existing uncertain tax positions in Canada and Germany, an increase in U.S. taxes in current period due to loss of U.S. tax attributes partially offset by decrease in foreign tax due decrease in Canadian tax expense from prior period. Our estimated annual effective tax rate of (23.6)% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% and was primarily impacted by permanent tax adjustments, state and local current expense, foreign operations, remeasurement of existing uncertain tax positions in Canada and Germany and valuation allowances, including valuation allowances on a portion of our deferred tax assets on U.S. disallowed interest expense carryforwards under by the provisions of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”).

Revenue
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our revenue on a consolidated basis decreased by $26.1 million, or 3.3%, to $773.6 million from $799.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We experienced revenue decline in ITPS and HS segments and revenue growth in LLPS segment. Our ITPS, HS, and LLPS segments constituted 67.9%, 24.1%, and 8.0% of total revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 68.9%, 23.6%, and 7.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The revenue changes by reporting segment were as follows:
ITPS— For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue attributable to our ITPS segment decreased by $25.9 million, or 4.7% compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of this revenue decline is attributable to exiting contracts and statements of work from certain customers with revenue that we believe was unpredictable, non-recurring and were not a strategic fit to our long-term success. In June 2023, we sold our high-speed scanner business and this resulted in $5.5 million lower revenue in the current period as compared to the period ended September 30, 2023. The reported ITPS segment revenue benefited by $1.0 million from currency conversion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
HS— For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue attributable to our HS segment decreased by $2.2 million, or 1.2% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower volumes from our new and existing healthcare customers.
LLPS— For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue attributable to our LLPS segment increased by $2.0 million, or 3.4% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in project based engagements in legal claims administration services.
45
Cost of Revenue
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our cost of revenue decreased by $22.1 million, or 3.5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Costs in our ITPS segment decreased by $16.1 million, or 3.6%, primarily attributable to the corresponding decline in revenues. HS segment costs decreased by $8.4 million, or 6.0%, primarily due to decrease in employee-related cost. LLPS segment cost of revenue increased by $2.4 million, or 6.4%, primarily attributable to the corresponding increase in revenues.
The decrease in cost of revenues on a consolidated basis was primarily due to a decrease in employee-related costs of $42.4 million, lower infrastructure and maintenance costs of $12.7 million, which was offset by higher postage costs of $33.0 million.
Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 78.2% of revenue compared to the 78.4% for the comparable same period in the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses increased by $5.9 million, or 5.3%, to $117.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $111.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable due to profit on sale of our high-speed scanner business of $7.2 million recognized in September 2023, higher bad debts provisions by $13.3 million, higher infrastructure, maintenance and operating costs of $1.7 million, higher travel costs of $0.6 million, higher other SG&A expenses by $3.3 million offset by lower legal and professional fees of $15.6 million, $3.5 million in business interruption insurance recoveries and lower employee related cost by $1.1 million. SG&A expenses increased as a percentage of revenues to 15.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Depreciation & Amortization
Total depreciation and amortization expenses were $41.5 million and $45.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in total depreciation and amortization expenses by $4.3 million was primarily due to a reduction in depreciation expense as a result of the expiration of the lives of assets acquired in prior periods and decrease in intangibles amortization expense due to end of useful lives for certain intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Related Party Expenses
Related party expense was $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net was $67.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $114.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in total interest expense by $46.3 million was primarily due to amortization of debt exchange premium and reduction in interest costs due to exchange of notes in July 2023, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net
There was $0.3 million of debt modification and extinguishment cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a gain of $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased $4.0 million principal amount of the Second Lien Note (as defined and further described in “Indebtedness” below) for a net cash consideration of $4.0 million. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $0.3 million and is inclusive of $0.3 million write off of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $13.8 million principal amount of 2023
46
Notes for a cash consideration of $4.4 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt for the 2023 Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $9.9 million and is inclusive of less than $0.1 million write off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $15.1 million principal amount of the 2023 Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement for a cash consideration of $8.0 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt for the 2023 Term Loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $7.1 million and is inclusive of less than $0.1 million write off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs. In July 2023, we recorded an additional debt extinguishment gain of $0.6 million when we fully repaid and discharged the remaining outstanding balance of $48.4 million under the 2023 Term Loans by making a cash payment of $44.8 million and by issuance of $3.0 million principal amount of Senior Secured April 2026 Notes in an exchange transaction. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we paid $1.6 million of exit fees on the partial prepayment of the BRCC Term Loan (as defined and further described in “Indebtedness” below) which was treated as a debt extinguishment cost.
Sundry Expense, net
The decrease in sundry expense, net by $0.8 million over the prior year period was primarily attributable to exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency transactions.
Other Income, net
Other income, net was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to other income, net of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded an income tax expense of $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and an income tax expense of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is increased as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is largely due to a remeasurement of existing uncertain tax positions in Canada and Germany as well as an increase in U.S. tax due to loss of attributes partially offset by the decrease in foreign earnings which is largely driven by decrease in Canadian tax expense in prior year. Our estimated annual effective tax rate of (14.7)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% and was primarily impacted by permanent tax adjustments, state and local current expense, foreign operations, remeasurement of existing uncertain tax positions in Canada and Germany and valuation allowances, including valuation allowances on a portion of our deferred tax assets on U.S. disallowed interest expense carryforwards under the provisions of the TCJA.
Other Financial Information (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)
We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net (loss) or income, plus income tax expense, interest expense, net, and depreciation and amortization. We have historically defined Adjusted EBITDA, including in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as EBITDA plus optimization and restructuring charges, including severance and retention expenses; transaction and integration costs; other non-cash charges, including non-cash compensation, (gain) or loss from sale or disposal of assets, and impairment charges; and management fees and expenses consistent with the definitions contained in our debt agreements.
Beginning with the 2023 Form 10-K, the Company has made certain changes to the way it defines Adjusted EBITDA that impact the comparability of the metrics to prior periods. Specifically, the Company will no longer include optimization and restructuring expenses, contract costs and certain other charges that we historically added back to our computation of Adjusted EBITDA consistent with the definitions in our debt agreements. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA for the same period in the prior year also reflects this updated definition of Adjusted EBITDA (i.e., will not be the same as set forth in prior filings due to the change of definition).
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.
47
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations as our Board and management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance, because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team. Net loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Our non GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are not audited and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The following conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern: a history of continuing net losses, net operating cash outflows, working capital deficits and accumulated deficit. Going concern matters are more fully discussed in Note 1, General of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity is the availability of adequate amounts of cash with an enterprise to meet its needs for cash requirements. At September 30, 2024, cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, and cash included in assets of disposal group held for sale totaled $45.6 million, including restricted cash of $34.1 million. As of September 30, 2024, our working capital deficit amounted to $262.8 million, an increase of $49.1 million as compared to working capital deficit of $213.7 million as of December 31, 2023 mainly due to current maturities of our long term debts.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that obligate us to make payments in the future. These obligations include borrowings, interest obligations, purchase commitments, operating and finance lease commitments, employee benefit payments and taxes. Specifically, $5.9 million outstanding under the BRCC Revolver (as defined and described further in the description of “Indebtedness” below) is payable in two (2) monthly installments of $2.0 million in November 2024 and December 2024, with the remaining outstanding principal balance of $1.9 million payable on January 31, 2025. The current maturities under the Senior Secured Term Loan, the Second Lien Note, the secured borrowings under the BR Exar AR Facility (as defined and further described in “Indebtedness” below)
49
and the other debts are $2.0 million, $27.5 million, $8.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively. See Note 5 – Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities, Note 7 – Employee Benefit Plans, and Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements herein for further information on material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations.
We plan to spend approximately 1.2% of total revenue on total capital expenditures over the next twelve months. Our business model has evolved to leverage cloud hosted platforms. This has reduced our capital expenditures and increased our operating expenses. This is the primary driver of changes in our capital expenditures when compared with historical periods. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, our investments in strategic initiatives, applications or technologies, operation centers and acquisition of complementary businesses, which may require the use of significant cash resources and/or additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all, which may adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company has implemented favorable provisions of the CARES Act, including the refundable payroll tax credits and the deferment of employer social security payments. At the end of 2021, the Company paid a portion of the deferred employer social security due as per Internal Revenue Service’s guidance. The remaining balance of deferred employer social security taxes will need to be paid by fiscal year 2024. The Company similarly used COVID-19 relief measures in various European jurisdictions, including permitted deferrals of certain payroll, social security and value added taxes. At the end of 2021, the Company paid a portion of these deferred payroll taxes, social security and value added taxes. The remaining balance of European deferred payroll taxes, social security and value added taxes will need to be paid by April 2027 as per deferment timeline.
The Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement (as defined and described further in the description of “Indebtedness” below) entered into on June 17, 2022 provides us access to liquidity through the sale of receivables. Under the Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement, transfers of accounts receivable are treated as sales and are accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable because the agreement transfers effective control over and risk related to the accounts receivable to the purchasers of the receivables. The Company de-recognized $126.5 million and $377.1 million of accounts receivable under this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company de-recognized $119.3 million and $382.2 million of accounts receivable under this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The amount remitted to the Purchasers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $127.7 million and $377.0 million, respectively. The amount remitted to the Purchasers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $119.0 and $385.5 million, respectively. Unsold accounts receivable of $29.0 million and $41.2 million were pledged by the SPEs as collateral to the Purchasers as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
With an objective to increase free cash flows and in order to maintain sufficient liquidity to support profitable growth, the Company is pursuing further reduction in debt and repricing of existing debt. The Company will continue to pursue the sale of certain non-core businesses that are not central to the Company’s long-term strategic vision and invest in the acquisition of businesses that enhance the value proposition. The Company also plans to take further action to raise additional funds in the debt and equity capital markets. There can be no assurances, however, that any of these initiatives will be consummated or will achieve its desired result.

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes between the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Operating Activities—The decrease of $25.8 million in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to improvement in debt amortization cost by $40.5 million, lower cost of revenue, lower selling, general and administrative expenses and other expenses, improvement in operating cycle for accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This increase in cash generated in operating activities was partially offset by lower realization from prepaid expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Investing Activities—The decrease of $27.0 million in net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to sale of our high-speed scanner business during the nine months ended September 2023.
Financing Activities— Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.7 million, primarily as a result of $45.4 million of proceeds from borrowings under the BR Exar AR Facility and net proceeds of $38.0 million from other loans, $0.5 million proceeds from issuance of April 2026 notes offset by $43.3 million of principal repayments on Senior Secured Term Loans, Second Lien Notes, BRCC Revolver and other loans, $37.5 million of repayment under the BR Exar AR Facility and $1.1 million for payment for debt issuance cost.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $17.2 million, primarily as a result of $67.0 million of net proceeds from equity offerings, $31.5 million of proceeds from the Second Lien Note, $20.0 million of proceeds from borrowings under the BR Exar AR Facility, $9.6 million of proceeds from borrowings under the BRCC Revolver, $40.0 million of proceeds from Senior Secured Term Loan and net proceeds of $21.8 million from other loans which is offset by debt issuance costs of $8.3 million, repayments on the BRCC Facility, senior secured term loans, factoring arrangement and other loans of $125.9 million, $23.2 million of repayment under the BR Exar AR Facility and cash outflow of $11.9 million for debt repurchases.
Indebtedness
Following is a description of the Company’s key indebtedness.
July 2026 Notes
As of January 1, 2023, there was outstanding $980.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.5% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes scheduled to mature July 15, 2026 (the “July 2026 Notes”) issued by Exela Intermediate LLC and Exela Finance Inc. (together, the “Issuers”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The July 2026 Notes are guaranteed by nearly all U.S. subsidiaries of Exela Intermediate LLC. The July 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 11.5% per year. We are required to pay interest on the July 2026 Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year, and commenced making such interest payments on July 15, 2022. The Issuers may redeem the July 2026 Notes in whole or
51
in part from time to time, at a redemption price of 100%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.
On July 11, 2023, the Issuers, certain guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, entered into an indenture (the “April 2026 Notes Indenture”) governing the 11.5% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes scheduled to mature July 12, 2026 (the “April 2026 Notes”), and the Issuers issued approximately $764.8 million aggregate principal amount of the April 2026 Notes as consideration for the exchange of $956.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ existing July 2026 Notes pursuant to a public exchange offer (the “2023 Exchange”), which was equivalent to issuing $800 of the April 2026 Notes per $1,000 principal amount of the existing July 2026 Notes. The Company performed an assessment of the 2023 Exchange and determined that it met the criteria to be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60. The undiscounted cash flows associated with the April 2026 Notes issued were compared to the carrying value of the exchanged July 2026 Notes and since the undiscounted cash flows of the April 2026 Notes exceeded the carrying value of the exchanged July 2026 Notes, the carrying value of the April 2026 Notes was established at the carrying value of the exchanged July 2026 Notes and the Company established new effective interest rates based on the carrying value of the exchanged July 2026 Notes prior to the 2023 Exchange. The difference between the principal amount of the issued April 2026 Notes and their carrying value was recorded as a premium and is included in long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded a premium of $142.3 million on the notes exchange, which will be reduced as contractual interest payments are made on the April 2026 Notes.
On July 11, 2023, the Company entered into a seventh supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the July 2026 Notes which eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminated certain events of default, modified covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modified or eliminated certain other provisions, including certain provisions relating to future guarantors and defeasance, contained in the July 2026 Notes Indenture and the July 2026 Notes. In addition, all of the collateral securing the July 2026 Notes was released pursuant to the seventh supplemental indenture.
The July 11, 2023 transaction resulted in cancellation of debt income (“CODI”) for tax purposes. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes CODI upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than the outstanding debt. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), provides that a debtor may wholly or partially exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of CODI excluded from taxable income. Pursuant to the U.S. tax rules, the Company computes the final CODI calculation based on the tax basis as of the last day of the fiscal tax year (i.e., December 31, 2023) which includes the date in which the debt transaction occurred. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated CODI in the amount of $780.0 million, of which $54.0 million was included in the fiscal year 2023 taxable income and $726.0 million was excluded from taxable income, resulting in the elimination of $624.0 million gross federal and state net operating losses.
As a result of the 2023 Exchange and periodic repurchases (as discussed below), $24.0 million aggregate principal amount of the July 2026 Notes maturing July 15, 2026 remained outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
Senior Secured April 2026 Notes
On July 11, 2023, the Issuers issued approximately $767.8 million aggregate principal amount of the April 2026 Notes under the April 2026 Notes Indenture, which includes the April 2026 Notes issued pursuant to the 2023 Exchange (as described above) and $3.0 million issued in exchange of other indebtedness. The April 2026 Notes are scheduled to mature on April 15, 2026.
Interest on the April 2026 Notes will accrue at 11.5% per annum and will be paid semi-annually, in arrears, on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning July 15, 2023. Interest will be payable in cash or in kind by issuing additional April 2026 Notes (or increasing the principal amount of the outstanding April 2026 Notes) (“PIK Interest”) as described below: (A) for the July 15, 2023 interest payment date, such interest was paid in kind as PIK Interest, (B) for each interest payment date from and including the January 15, 2024 interest payment date through and including the July 15, 2024 interest payment date, such interest shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to (i) 50% of such interest plus (ii) an amount not to exceed an amount that, pro forma for such payment, would leave the issuers with Unrestricted Cash (as
52
defined in the April 2026 Notes Indenture) of at least $15.0 million, with the remaining interest paid in kind as PIK Interest, and (C) for interest payment dates falling on or after January 15, 2025, such interest shall be paid in cash.
On July 15, 2023, the Company issued $44.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the April 2026 Notes as a payment for PIK Interest that would otherwise have been due to holders of the July 2026 Notes that participated in the 2023 Exchange. On January 15, 2024, the Company issued $23.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the April 2026 Notes as a payment for PIK Interest due on January 15, 2024 in respect of the April 2026 Notes. On July 15, 2024, the Company issued $24.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the April 2026 Notes as a payment for PIK Interest due on July 15, 2024 in respect of the April 2026 Notes. On September 30, 2024, the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, sold $3.0 million face value of April 2026 Notes for a net sale consideration of $0.5 million to affiliates of the Executive Chairman. $862.3 million aggregate principal amount of the April 2026 Notes remained outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
The Issuers’ obligations under the April 2026 Notes and the April 2026 Notes Indenture are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the same guarantors (the “Guarantors”) that guarantee the July 2026 Notes (other than certain guarantors that have ceased to have operations or assets) and by certain of the Issuers’ other affiliates (the “Affiliated Guarantors”). The April 2026 Notes and the related guarantees are first-priority senior secured obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantors and Affiliated Guarantors.
The issuers may redeem the April 2026 Notes at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price of 100%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In addition, the April 2026 Notes will be mandatorily redeemable in part upon the sale of certain assets that constitute additional credit support.
The April 2026 Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the Issuers’ and the Affiliated Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock and make other restricted payments, (iii) make investments, (iv) consummate certain asset sales, (v) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (vi) grant or assume certain liens and (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. In addition, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Issuers must offer to repurchase the April 2026 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. The April 2026 Notes Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all of the then outstanding April 2026 Notes to be due and payable immediately.
2023 Term loan
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of the private exchange, repurchases (as discussed below) and periodic principal repayments, $48.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Term Loans were outstanding as of July 11, 2023, the date the Company fully repaid and discharged the remaining outstanding balance of the 2023 Term Loans by making a cash payment of $44.8 million and by issuance of $3.0 million principal amount of Senior Secured April 2026 Notes.
Repurchases
In July 2021 the Company commenced a debt buyback program to repurchase senior secured indebtedness, which is ongoing. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased $4.0 million principal amount of the Second Lien Note (as defined below) for a net cash consideration of $4.0 million. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $0.3 million and is inclusive of $0.3 million write off of debt issuance costs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $13.8 million principal amount of the Issuers’ 10.0% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (“2023 Notes”) for a net cash consideration of $4.4 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $9.9 million and is
53
inclusive of less than $0.1 million write off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $15.1 million principal amount of the 2023 Term Loan for net cash consideration of $8.0 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $7.1 million and is inclusive of less than $0.1 million write off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs, respectively.
BRCC Facility
On November 17, 2021, GP2 XCV, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company (“GP2 XCV”), entered into a borrowing facility with B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC (which was subsequently assigned to BRF Finance Co., LLC (“BRF Finance”)) pursuant to which such subsidiary was able to borrow an original principal amount of $75.0 million, which was later increased to $115.0 million as of December 7, 2021 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “BRCC Term Loan”). On March 31, 2022, GP2 XCV and B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC amended this facility to permit GP2 XCV to borrow up to $51.0 million under a separate revolving loan (the “BRCC Revolver”, collectively with the BRCC Term Loan, the “BRCC Facility”).
The BRCC Facility is secured by a lien on all the assets of GP2 XCV and by a pledge of the equity of GP2 XCV. GP2 XCV is a bankruptcy-remote entity and as such its assets are not available to other creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than GP2 XCV. Interest under the BRCC Facility accrues at a rate of 11.5% per annum (13.5% per annum default rate) and is payable quarterly on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. The purpose of BRCC Term Loan was to fund certain repurchases of the secured indebtedness and to provide funding for certain debt exchange transactions. The purpose of BRCC Revolver is to fund general corporate purposes.
The BRCC Facility matured on June 10, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had fully repaid the outstanding balance under the BRCC Term Loan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repaid $14.0 million of outstanding principal amount under the BRCC Revolver. As of September 30, 2024, there remained borrowings of $5.9 million outstanding under the BRCC Revolver. The outstanding principal amount under the BRCC Revolver is payable in two (2) monthly installments of $2.0 million in November 2024 and December 2024, with the remaining outstanding principal balance of $1.9 million payable on January 31, 2025.
Senior Secured Term Loan
On July 11, 2023, Exela Intermediate LLC and Exela Finance Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a financing agreement with certain lenders and Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent, pursuant to which the lenders extended a $40.0 million term loan (“Senior Secured Term Loan”). On the same date, the Company used proceeds of this term loan to repay a corresponding amount of its existing debt. On January 12, 2024, $1.0 million of certain waiver and consent fees payable by subsidiaries of the Company under the term of Senior Secured Term Loan were added to outstanding balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan.
The Senior Secured Term Loan shall be, at the option of the Company, either a Reference Rate Loan, or a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Loan. Each portion of the Senior Secured Term Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan bears interest on the principal amount outstanding from the date of the Senior Secured Term Loan until repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin. “Reference Rate” for any period means the greatest of (i) 4.00% per annum, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR (which rate shall be calculated based upon an interest period of 1 month and shall be determined on a daily basis) plus 1.00% per annum, and (iv) the rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the "Prime Rate" in the United States. “Applicable Margin,” with respect to the interest rate of (a) any Reference Rate Loan is 10.39% per annum, and (b) any SOFR Rate Loan is 11.39% per annum. SOFR Rate Loans shall bear interest on the principal amount outstanding, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Term Loan plus Applicable Margin. “Adjusted Term SOFR” means the rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such calculation, plus 0.26161%. “Term SOFR,” for calculation with respect to a SOFR Rate Loan, is the per annum forward-looking term rate based on secured overnight financing rate for a tenor comparable to the applicable interest period on the day that is two business days prior to the first day of such interest period. However, with respect to a Reference Rate Loan, “Term SOFR” means the per annum forward-looking term rate based on secured overnight financing rate for a tenor of three months on the

day that is two business days prior to such day. If Term SOFR as so determined shall ever be less than 4.00%, then Term SOFR shall be deemed to be 4.00%.
The Company may, at any time, elect to have interest on all or a portion of the loans be charged at a rate of interest based upon Term SOFR (the “SOFR Option”) by notifying the administrative agent at least three (3) business days prior to the proposed change. Such notice needs to be provided in the case of the continuation of a SOFR Rate Loan as a SOFR Rate Loan on the last day of the then current interest period. The Company shall have not more than 5 SOFR Rate Loans in effect at any given time, and only may exercise the SOFR Option for SOFR Rate Loans of at least $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.
As of September 30, 2024, there were borrowings of $39.0 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Term Loan. The outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan shall be repaid in seven (7) equal quarterly installments of $0.5 million commencing December 31, 2024, with the remaining outstanding principal amount of $35.5 million payable at maturity along with accrued and unpaid interest. The maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan is January 14, 2026.
The Company may, at any time, prepay the principal of the Senior Secured Term Loan. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest and the applicable premium, if any. Each prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Senior Secured Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity. The applicable premium shall be payable in the form of a make-whole amount if prepayment is made within one year of the borrowing date (the “First Period”). If optional prepayment is made after the year one anniversary of the borrowing date to the date of the two-year anniversary (the “Second Period”), the applicable premium shall be an amount equal to 1% times the amount of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan being paid on such date. The applicable premium shall be zero in case of prepayment after the date of the two-year anniversary of the borrowing date. Further, during the Second Period, if the prepayment is because of an event of default or termination of contract for any reason, the applicable premium shall be 1% times the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan outstanding on such date.
The Senior Secured Term Loan contains customary events of default, cross-default provisions, affirmative and negative covenants, including limitation on the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create, incur or allow certain liens; enter into sale and lease-back transactions; make any restricted payments; undergo fundamental changes, as well as certain financial covenants. The cross-default provisions are triggered if the parent, borrower, affiliates, or significant subsidiaries defaults on any debt that is greater than $25 million if the effect of such default or event is to (i) accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such indebtedness; (ii) allow such indebtedness to be declared due and payable or (iii) required such indebtedness to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment) or redeemed, in each case, prior to the stated maturity thereof. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2024.
Securitization Facility
On June 17, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated receivables purchase agreement (as amended, the “Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement”) under an existing $150.0 million securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) among certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, Exela Receivables 3, LLC (the “Securitization Borrower”), Exela Receivables 3 Holdco, LLC (the “Securitization Parent SPE,” and together with the Securitization Borrower, the “SPEs”) and certain global financial institutions (the “Purchasers”). The Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement extended the term of the Securitization Facility such that the SPEs may sell certain accounts receivable to the Purchasers until June 17, 2025. Under the Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement, transfers of accounts receivable from the SPEs are treated as sales and are accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable, because the agreement transfers effective control over and risk related to the accounts receivable to the Purchasers. The Company and related subsidiaries 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 Company, the operating subsidiaries of the Company that agreed to sell receivables in connection with the Securitization Facility (the “Securitization Originators”), or any other relevant subsidiaries.
55
The sales of accounts receivable under the Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement are transacted at 100% of the face value of the relevant accounts receivable, resulting in derecognition of the accounts receivable from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company de-recognized $126.5 million and $377.1 million of accounts receivable under this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company de-recognized $119.3 million and $382.2 million of accounts receivable under this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The amount remitted to the Purchasers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $127.7 million and $377.0 million, respectively. The amount remitted to the Purchasers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $119.0 and $385.5 million, respectively. Unsold accounts receivable of $29.0 million and $41.2 million were pledged by the SPEs as collateral to the Purchasers as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The program resulted in a pre-tax loss of $2.4 million and $6.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The program resulted in a pre-tax loss of $2.0 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
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 February 29, 2024, March 29, 2024, March 31, 2024, April 24, 2024, May 24, 2024 and June 25, 2024, July 29, 2024, August 13, 2024, August 30, 2024 and September 27, 2024 the “BR Exar AR Facility”). The Company received an aggregate of $45.0 million, net of legal and other fees of $0.4 million, under the BR Exar AR Facility. Under the terms of the BR Exar AR Facility, 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 $50.0 million, net of any costs, expenses or other amounts paid to or owing to the buyer under the agreement. BREL collected $41.3 million under the BR Exar AR Facility during the period from February 2024 to September 2024. As of September 30, 2024, there was a $8.7 million outstanding balance under the BR Exar AR Facility.
Second Lien Note
On February 27, 2023, the SPEs and B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC entered into a new Secured Promissory Note (which was subsequently assigned to BRF Finance) pursuant to which B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC agreed to lend up to $35.0 million secured by a second lien pledge of the Securitization Borrower (the “Second Lien Note”). The Second Lien Note is scheduled to mature on June 17, 2025 and bears interest at a per annum rate of one-month Term SOFR plus 7.5%. The SPEs are party to the Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement, thus the transactions necessitated amendments to that agreement and related documents to permit the addition of subordinated debt and additional borrowing capacity into that transaction structure, in addition to providing for a $5.0 million fee to the lenders for facilitating the transaction. In connection with the above-described facility, we also amended the BRCC Term Loan and BRCC Revolver to provide for $9.6 million of borrowing capacity, which was drawn as described above.
As of September 30, 2024, there were borrowings of $27.5 million outstanding under the Second Lien Note payable at maturity.
Potential Future Transactions
We may, from time to time explore and evaluate possible strategic transactions, which may include joint ventures, as well as business combinations or the acquisition or disposition of assets. In order to pursue certain of these opportunities, additional funds will likely be required. Subject to applicable contractual restrictions, to obtain such financing, we may seek to use cash on hand, or we may seek to raise additional debt or equity financing through private placements or through underwritten offerings. There can be no assurance that we will enter into additional strategic transactions or alliances, nor do we know if we will be able to obtain the necessary financing for transactions that require additional funds on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, pursuant to registration rights agreements that we have entered into, or may enter into in the future, certain of our stockholders may have the right to demand underwritten offerings of our Common Stock. We may from time to time in the future explore, with certain of those stockholders the possibility of an underwritten public offering of our Common Stock held by those stockholders. There can be no assurance as to whether or when such transactions may be commenced or completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.

On July 1, 2024, the Company had announced that its Board had authorized the Company to consider a spin-off of its wholly-owned subsidiary Exela Technologies BPA, LLC (the holding company for the Company’s business process automation business which includes our HS and LLPS segments and part of our ITPS segment, and collectively with all of its subsidiaries, the “BPA Business”). However, this spin-off plan has now been abandoned by the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of judgments and estimates. Our critical accounting policies and estimates provide a better understanding of how we develop our assumptions and judgments about future events and related estimations and how they can impact our financial statements. A critical accounting estimate is one that requires subjective or complex estimates and assessments, and is fundamental to our results of operations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable according to the current facts and circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We believe the current assumptions, judgments and estimates used to determine amounts reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate; however, actual results may differ under different conditions. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this document. Refer to "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" contained in Part II, Item 7 of the 2023 Form 10-K for a complete discussion of our critical accounting estimates. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since the 2023 Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the 2023 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are described in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Notwithstanding such material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our management, including our Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our condensed consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of our operations and our cash flows for the periods presented in this quarterly report, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
57
Remediation
As previously described in Part II—Item 9A – Controls and Procedures of the 2023 Form 10-K, we continue to implement a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses mentioned above. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

第二部分。其他信息
項目1. 法律訴訟
衍生訴訟
2020年7月8日,原告格雷戈裏·麥肯納提起了股東衍生訴訟,針對Exela的現任和前任董事和高管提出了以下訴訟請求:(1)違反《證券交易法》第14(a)條;(2)違反《證券交易法》第10(b)條和100億.5號規則;(3)違反《證券交易法》第20(a)條;(4)違反受託責任;(5)不當得利;以及(6)濫用公司資產。2020年12月21日,原告理查德·W·莫瑟和喬納森·岡薩雷斯提起了一項內容類似的股東衍生訴訟,已與麥肯納訴訟案合併。這些訴訟請求源自跟公司的2020年財務報表修正有關的事實指控,涉及2017年、2018年以及2019年9月30日的中期時段。這些指控是與2023年12月解決的申安全證券集體訴訟案無關的,然而這些訴訟請求並未因和解而解除,目前還無法判斷該事項是否有可能的不利結局;但是,公司認爲自己有充分的辯護理由。
商業中斷保險索賠
2022年下半年,公司遭遇了一起網絡安全事件(「2022年網絡中斷」),影響了公司部分的運營和信息技術系統。由於2022年網絡中斷,公司遭受了營業收入損失併發生了一定額度的額外成本。2023年8月29日,公司向其保險公司提交了一份4460萬美元的索賠,用於賠償2022年網絡中斷相關的損失(「2023年8月索賠」)。2023年,公司從基礎和第一超額承保人那裏收到了1080萬美元的保險賠款,用於賠償與營業中斷有關的損失。2024年4月17日,公司對兩家超額承保人(統稱爲「第二超額保險人」)提起了一項訴訟(「保險訴訟」),尋求一個宣告判決,並指控違約和惡意不支付他們應賠償2023年8月索賠的損失。2024年8月9日,公司與一家第二超額保險人達成了360萬美元的和解,且在2024年10月15日,公司與另外一家第二超額保險人就360萬美元(減去已支付金額)達成了和解。2024年10月8日,公司提出了修改訴狀申請書(「修改後的訴狀」),以將另外兩家超額承保人列入保險訴訟。修改後的訴狀於2024年10月24日提交。目前還無法判斷該事項的處理結果;然而,公司認爲自己有充分理由並計劃積極主張它們。
網絡故障SEC事件
2024年11月12日,SEC工作人員通知公司,他們打算對公司在2022年夏季經歷的先前披露的網絡故障展開調查。自2024年7月以來,公司一直在回答SEC工作人員關於該故障的非正式問題,並將全力配合調查。公司認爲自己的行爲是正確的,但在這個早期階段,無法預測調查的範圍或結果。
其他
我們時常涉及其他法律訴訟、調查、索賠和糾紛事項,這些事項是業務日常運作中出現的。儘管我們的管理層無法預測這些事項的結果,但我們的管理層認爲這些行動不會對我們的財務狀況、經營業績或現金流產生重大不利影響。
第1A項。風險因素。
除下面列出的風險因素外,在2023年10-K表中「第I部分,1A.風險因素」和我們的2023年第一季度報告Form 10-Q中先前披露的風險因素沒有發生重大變化。
59
截至2024年6月30日的季度期間。我們目前尚不知的其他風險和不確定性,或我們當前認爲微不足道的風險,也可能對我們的業務、財務狀況和/或經營結果產生重大不利影響。
我們的證券已從納斯達克退市,面臨在場外交易市場交易的風險。
2024年11月6日,我們收到了來自納斯達克的書面通知,通知我們將於2024年11月8日暫停交易我們的普通股和B系列累計可轉換永久優先股(「B系列優先股」)(前納斯達克代碼:XELA和XELAP),並將向證券交易委員會(「SEC」)提交一份25-NSE表格,以從納斯達克退市。我們將繼續受到SEC報告義務的約束。
由於暫停和退市,我們的普通股和B系列優先股於2024年11月8日在場外交易粉色市場以「XELA」和「XELAP」代碼開始交易,目前該市場是我們證券唯一的交易市場。我們預計納斯達克將很快向SEC提交一份25-NSE表格,以正式將公司的證券從納斯達克的上市和註冊中移除,儘管此類提交的確切時間目前尚不清楚。我們無法保證我們的證券將繼續在場外交易粉色市場交易,是否經銷商將繼續在場外交易粉色市場提供我們證券的公開報價,是否我們證券在場外交易粉色市場的成交量將足以提供一個有效的交易市場,或未來我們證券的報價是否將繼續在場外交易粉色市場上存在,這可能導致成交量顯著降低並減小投資者買入或賣出我們證券的流動性。此外,我們可能面臨重大不利後果,包括市場報價對我們證券的有限可用性,以及在發行額外證券或獲得額外融資方面的能力下降,外加由於退市而可能對我們和我們的業務產生的負面看法。
項目2. 未註冊的股權證券銷售及收益使用,以及發行人購買股權證券。
在2022年8月10日,董事會批准了一項股票回購計劃(「2022股票回購計劃」),根據該計劃,公司被授權可根據情況在兩年內通過多種方式回購最多50,000股普通股,包括公開市場交易和私下協商交易。2022股票回購計劃並不要求公司回購任何股票。是否回購股票以及回購的時機將根據普通股價格、一般業務及市場情況以及其他投資考慮和因素來決定。在截至2024年9月30日的九個月內,未通過2022股票回購計劃回購任何股票。截至2024年9月30日,我們根據2022股票回購計劃總共回購並同時註銷了1,787股普通股。在截至2024年9月30日的三個月內的股票回購活動如下:
