About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain pro forma financial information, which is presented for informational purposes only and is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pro forma results are presented on an unaudited basis as if the acquisition of Exela BPA had been consummated on January 1, 2024, regardless of the actual closing date.
For financial reporting purposes, Exela BPA is treated as the accounting acquirer, and results exclude XBP Europe until July 29, 2025. As a result, reported results for periods prior to July 29, 2025 are not comparable to previous earnings results of XBP Europe.
Pro forma financial information is intended to provide investors with a clearer understanding of the underlying performance and trends of the combined business by illustrating the impact of the acquisition on historical results. These results are designed to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and enhance transparency into ongoing operations.
Pro forma information is based on certain assumptions and adjustments, including the elimination of intercompany transactions, acquisition-related costs, and the alignment of accounting policies, as described in the accompanying tables and footnotes. This information is unaudited and does not purport to represent what actual results would have been had the acquisition occurred at the dates indicated, nor does it project future results.
Pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with historical financial statements, related notes, and the pro forma adjustments and explanatory notes included in this release.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
These measures provide investors with additional insight into financial performance, results of operations, and liquidity, and help facilitate comparisons of underlying business trends across periods. Management uses these measures to evaluate performance consistently by excluding the effects of capital structure (such as varying debt levels, interest expense, and transaction costs from acquisitions).
Adjusted EBITDA also excludes integration and restructuring expenses and other non-routine items, some of which are outside management’s control. Restructuring expenses are primarily related to strategic actions and initiatives associated with rightsizing the business. These costs are variable, dependent on the nature and timing of the actions implemented, and can vary significantly based on business needs. Due to this variability, management excludes these charges as they do not believe such costs reflect past, current, or future operating performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to liquidity or financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of these measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income required by GAAP to be recorded in the financial statements. In addition, the determination of which items to exclude or include involves management judgment, and these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
These measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are unaudited, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and their presentation may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Net loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to the non-GAAP measures presented here. For a reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, see the schedules attached to this release.
