QXO, Inc.: Form 10-Q for the period ended Jun 30, 2025

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Prior to the Beacon Acquisition (as defined below), QXO, Inc. (“QXO”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) was primarily a technology solutions and professional services company, providing critical software applications, consulting and other professional services, including specialized programming, training, and technical support to small and mid-size companies in the manufacturing, distribution, and services industries.

Beacon Acquisition

On March 20, 2025, QXO entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Beacon”), and Queen MergerCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of QXO (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which QXO agreed to acquire Beacon for a purchase price of $124.35 per share of common stock (the “Merger Consideration”) of Beacon (the “Beacon Acquisition”). On April 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Beacon, with Beacon remaining as the surviving entity and being renamed QXO Building Products, Inc. (“QXO Building Products”), and the Company completed its acquisition of Beacon in a transaction that valued Beacon at $10.6 billion.

As a result of the Beacon Acquisition, QXO has transitioned to a building products distribution company and is the largest publicly-traded distributor of roofing, waterproofing, and complementary building products in North America. We plan to become the tech-enabled leader in the $800 billion building products distribution industry and generate outsized value for shareholders. We are executing our strategy toward a target of $50 billion in annual revenues within the next decade through accretive acquisitions and organic growth.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared with Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Net Sales

The following table summarizes net sales by line of business for the periods presented:

(in millions, except percentages)

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $1.91 billion compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the Beacon Acquisition as Beacon’s net sales for the period April 29, 2025 through June 30, 2025 are included in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

The following table summarizes net sales by line of business for the periods presented:

(in millions)

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $1.92 billion compared to $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the Beacon Acquisition as Beacon’s net sales for the period April 29, 2025 through June 30, 2025 are included in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $1.50 billion, up from $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cost of products sold was primarily due to higher net sales as a result of the Beacon Acquisition. Cost of products sold was also negatively impacted by the inventory fair value adjustments as a result of recording Beacon’s inventory at fair value on the acquisition date.

Cost of products sold for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $1.51 billion, up from $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cost of products sold was primarily due to higher net sales as a result of the Beacon Acquisition. Cost of products sold was also negatively impacted by the inventory fair value adjustments as a result of recording Beacon’s inventory at fair value on the acquisition date.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $456.8 million, up from $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily driven by costs incurred to support the ongoing operations of our business subsequent to the Beacon Acquisition as well as acquisition-related transaction costs of $65.6 million and stock-based compensation expense of $65.0 million.

SG&A expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $501.2 million, up from $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily driven by costs incurred to support the ongoing operations of our business subsequent to the Beacon Acquisition as well as acquisition-related transaction costs of $75.5 million and stock-based compensation expense of $85.2 million.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense was $27.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to an increase in property and equipment as a result of the Beacon Acquisition.

Depreciation expense was $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to an increase in property and equipment as a result of the Beacon Acquisition.

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense was $79.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to amortization expense associated with new customer relationships and trade names intangible assets recognized as a result of the Beacon Acquisition.

Amortization expense was $80.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to amortization expense associated with new customer relationships and trade names intangible assets recognized as a result of the Beacon Acquisition.

Interest (expense) income, net

Interest (expense) income, net was $(30.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to additional debt that was issued by QXO Building Products in connection with the Beacon Acquisition, resulting in higher interest expense. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by interest income due to a higher average interest-bearing cash balance during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Interest income, net was $26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to higher interest income as a result of a higher average interest-bearing cash balance during the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by higher interest expense due to additional debt that was issued by QXO Building Products in connection with the Beacon Acquisition.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

Loss on debt extinguishment was $45.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the principal prepayment of $1.40 billion under the Term Loan Facility and includes the pro-rata extinguishment of previously capitalized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs.

Income Taxes

Benefit from income taxes was $177.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The comparative increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to lower pre-tax income coupled with an increase in compensation above $1 million, inclusive of equity awards, paid to covered employees under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 162(m) and non-deductible transaction costs due to the Beacon Acquisition. The effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, was 72.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 28.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Benefit from income taxes was $169.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The comparative increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to lower pre-tax income coupled with an increase in compensation above $1 million, inclusive of equity awards, paid to covered employees under IRC Section 162(m) and non-deductible transaction costs due to the Beacon Acquisition. The effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, was 74.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 27.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed here and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Common Share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”), Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which represent non-GAAP financial measures.

We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit excluding inventory fair value adjustments, and we calculate Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales. We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) excluding amortization; stock-based compensation; loss on debt extinguishment; restructuring costs; transaction costs; transformation costs; inventory fair value adjustments; and the income tax associated with such adjusting items. We calculate Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the weighted-averaged number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of dilutive common share equivalents based on the most dilutive result of the if-converted and two-class methods. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding depreciation; amortization; stock-based compensation; interest (income) expense, net; loss on debt extinguishment; provision for (benefit from) income taxes; restructuring costs; transaction costs; transformation costs; and inventory fair value adjustments that we do not consider representative of our underlying operations. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted Gross Profit to gross profit, the most directly comparable financial measure as measured in accordance with GAAP, as well as a calculation of gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure as measured in accordance with GAAP, as well as a calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share and Adjusted Diluted EPS. We have also provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure as measured in accordance with GAAP, as well as a calculation of net margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating QXO’s ongoing performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, QXO’s core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying business. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Seasonality

The demand for exterior building materials is closely correlated to both seasonal changes and unpredictable weather patterns, therefore demand fluctuations are expected. In general, we expect our net sales and net income to be the highest in quarters ending June 30, September 30, and December 31, which represent the peak months of construction and re-roofing. Conversely, we expect low net income levels or net losses in quarters ending March 31, when winter construction cycles and cold weather patterns have an adverse impact on our customers’ ability to conduct their business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash balance was $2.28 billion as of June 30, 2025 and consisted primarily of cash on deposit with banks and investments in money market funds. In addition, we may choose to raise additional funds at any time through equity or debt financing arrangements, which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, acquisitions or other strategic investments. We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements considering our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. Following the Beacon Acquisition, our primary sources of liquidity are cash on the balance sheet, cash generated by operations and borrowings under the ABL Facility. Our primary uses of cash after the Beacon Acquisition are working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. We believe that our existing liquidity and sources of capital are sufficient to support our operations over the next 12 months.

From time to time, depending upon market and other conditions, as well as upon our cash balances and liquidity, we, our subsidiaries or our affiliates may acquire our outstanding debt securities or our other indebtedness through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, redemption or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we, our subsidiaries or our affiliates may determine for cash or other consideration.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has a quarterly dividend policy in place for its Convertible Preferred Stock, and dividends are paid when declared by the board of directors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid $22.5 million and $45.0 million, respectively, of dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the close of the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid $22.5 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. These dividends are part of the Company’s ongoing cash obligations and are considered when evaluating overall liquidity needs. For additional information regarding its Convertible Preferred Stock see, Note 6 – Equity of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in “Item 1 Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report.

Private Placements

On June 13, 2024, the Company entered into purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 340.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $9.14 per share, and pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 42.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $9.13999 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of $0.00001 per share, is exercisable immediately and until the Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full. The closing of the private placement was completed on July 19, 2024.

On July 22, 2024, the Company entered into purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors to privately place 67.8 million shares of its common stock at a price of $9.14 per share. The closing of the private placement was completed on July 25, 2024.

On March 17, 2025, the Company entered into purchase agreements with certain institutional investors to privately place 67.5 million shares of its common stock at a price of $12.30 per share. The closing of the private placement was contingent upon the completion of the Beacon Acquisition and was completed on April 29, 2025. As a result of the closing, the Company raised $823.8 million in net proceeds, after deducting offering costs of $6.8 million, to partially fund the Beacon Acquisition and related costs.

Issuance of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock

On May 27, 2025, the Company completed a preferred stock offering, through which QXO issued and sold 11.5 million depositary shares (“Depositary Shares”), each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of the Company’s 5.50% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $1,000 per share, par value $0.001 per share (the “Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”). The amount issued included 1.5 million Depositary Shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the option granted to the underwriters to purchase additional Depositary Shares. The Company received net proceeds from the offering of $558.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses of $16.9 million.

Dividends

The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate dividends (which may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock or in any combination of cash and common stock) at a rate per annum equal to 5.50% on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, payable when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors (or an authorized committee thereof), on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2025 and ending on, and including, May 15, 2028. Given the requirement to pay dividends in any settlement outcome of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company accrues dividends whether or not they are formally declared by the Company’s board of directors.

Mandatory Conversion

The following table illustrates the conversion rate per share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, based on the applicable market value of the common stock:

The following table illustrates the conversion rate per Depositary Share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, based on the applicable market value of the common stock:

Optional Conversion

Other than the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Company's Certificate of Designations relating to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) at any time prior to May 15, 2028, a holder of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may elect to convert such holder’s shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at the minimum conversion rate of 49.4740 shares of common stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (equivalent to 2.4737 shares of common stock per Depositary Share), subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. Because each Depositary Share represents a 1/20th fractional interest in a share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, a holder of Depositary Shares may convert its Depositary Shares only in lots of 20 Depositary Shares.

Fundamental Change Conversion

If a fundamental change occurs on or prior to May 15, 2028, holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to convert their shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the fundamental change conversion rate during the period beginning on, and including, the effective date of such fundamental change and ending on, and including, the earlier of (a) the date that is 20 calendar days after such effective date (or, if later, the date that is 20 calendar days after holders receive notice of such fundamental change) and (b) May 15, 2028. For the avoidance of doubt, the period described in the immediately preceding sentence may not end on a date that is later than May 15, 2028.

Ranking

The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, (i) senior to the Company’s common stock and each other class or series of capital stock, whether outstanding or established after the date of issuance of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks senior to or on a parity with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, and (ii) junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ranks on a parity with or junior to each class or series of capital stock, the terms of which expressly provide for a pari passu or senior ranking, respectively, relative to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

Voting Rights

Holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not have voting rights, except with respect to issuances of securities senior to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, amendments to the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, or in the event of a merger, consolidation, exchange or reclassification involving the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, or non-payment of dividends for six consecutive quarters.

Registered Equity Offerings

In April 2025, the Company sold 37.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $13.25 per share. The closing of the equity offering was completed on April 21, 2025 and the Company raised $487.9 million in net proceeds from the equity offering, after deducting offering costs of $12.1 million. The Company also granted the underwriters in the public offering an option to purchase up to an additional 5.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $13.25 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 5, 2025, the option was partially exercised with respect to 4.0 million shares resulting in an additional $51.8 million of net proceeds.

In May 2025, the Company sold 48.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $16.50 per share. The Company also granted the underwriters in the public offering an option to purchase up to an additional 7.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $16.50 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 21, 2025, the option was exercised in full. The closing of the equity offering was completed on May 23, 2025 and the Company raised $892.5 million in net proceeds from the equity offering, after deducting offering costs of $27.5 million.

In June 2025, the Company sold 89.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $22.25 per share. The closing of the equity offering was completed on June 26, 2025 and the Company raised $1.96 billion in net proceeds from the equity offering, after deducting offering costs of $37.6 million. The Company also granted the underwriters in the public offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 13.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $22.25 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 24, 2025, the option was partially exercised with respect to 1.7 million shares resulting in additional net proceeds of $38.2 million. The remaining option to purchase additional shares expired unexercised at the end of the 30-day period.

Senior Secured Notes

On April 29, 2025, Merger Sub (the “Issuer”) completed the issuance and sale of $2.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 29, 2025 (as supplemented, the “Indenture”), and, upon consummation of the Beacon Acquisition, QXO Building Products and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) assumed the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture and guaranteed QXO Building Products’ obligations under the Notes and the Indenture. The Notes are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, other than the ABL Priority Collateral (as defined below) (the “Notes Priority Collateral”) and by second-priority liens on substantially all of the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ inventory, receivables and related assets (the “ABL Priority Collateral”), in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Notes will mature on April 30, 2032. Interest on the Notes accrues at 6.75% per annum and will be paid semi-annually, in arrears, on April 30 and October 30 of each year, beginning October 30, 2025. Proceeds from the Notes were used to partially fund the Beacon Acquisition and related transaction costs.

On or after April 30, 2028, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. In addition, prior to April 30, 2028, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to April 30, 2028, the Issuer may also redeem up to 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with funds in an aggregate amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.75% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, prior to April 30, 2028, the Issuer may redeem during each twelve-month period up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 103%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The Indenture includes customary affirmative and negative covenants with respect to the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Issuer must offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the purchase date. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $22.2 million related to the Notes, which are being amortized over the term of the financing arrangement.

As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Notes, net of $21.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $2.23 billion.

Term Loan Facility

On April 29, 2025, Merger Sub, as initial borrower, entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with Queen HoldCo, LLC (“Holdings”), the lenders party thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, which provides for senior secured financing consisting of a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion. Upon the consummation of the Beacon Acquisition, QXO Building Products entered into a joinder to the Term Loan Credit Agreement as the surviving borrower (the “Borrower”). The facility matures on April 30, 2032. Proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were used to partially fund the Beacon Acquisition and related transaction costs.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at variable rates based on Term SOFR or a base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The facility requires scheduled quarterly amortization payments in an annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The Term Loan Facility also requires the Borrower to make certain mandatory prepayments. The Borrower can make voluntary prepayments at any time without penalty, except in connection with a repricing event in respect of the Term Loan Facility, subject to customary breakage costs. Any refinancing through the issuance of certain debt or any repricing amendment, in either case, that constitutes a “repricing event” applicable to the term loans resulting in a lower yield occurring at any time during the first six months after the closing date of the Term Loan Facility will be accompanied by a 1.00% prepayment premium or fee, as applicable.

The Term Loan Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings on a limited‑recourse basis and secured by a first-priority lien on the equity interests of the Borrower held by Holdings. The Term Loan Facility is also guaranteed by each Subsidiary Guarantor and secured by a first-priority lien with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral and a second-priority lien with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral. The Term Loan Facility is secured on a ratable basis with the Notes with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral and the ABL Priority Collateral.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants with respect to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including relating to a change of control. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The principal amount of borrowing under the Term Loan Facility was reduced by an original issue discount (“OID”) of 1%. The Company capitalized OID of $22.5 million and debt issuance costs of $50.9 million related to the Term Loan Facility, which are being amortized over the term of the financing arrangement.

On May 29, 2025, the Company made a voluntary principal prepayment of $1.40 billion under the Term Loan Facility. As a result, the Company was relieved of its obligation to make quarterly amortization payments in an annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. Additionally, as a result of the principal prepayment, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $45.7 million comprised of $14.0 million of unamortized OID and $31.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan Facility. The loss on debt extinguishment was separately recognized on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan Facility, net of $8.2 million of unamortized OID and $18.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $823.2 million.

ABL Credit Agreement

On April 29, 2025, Merger Sub, as initial borrower, entered into the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”), with Holdings, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), with an aggregate borrowing availability equal to the lesser of $2.0 billion, and the borrowing base. Upon the consummation of the Beacon Acquisition, the Borrower entered into a joinder to the ABL Credit Agreement as the surviving borrower. The ABL Facility matures on April 29, 2030. Based on our borrowing base as of June 30, 2025, the Company had $1.78 billion borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, either (a) (x) Term SOFR determined by reference to the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which rate shall be no less than zero or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the prime rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” and (iii) the sum of one-month adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, which base rate shall be no less than 1.00%, or (y) with respect to borrowings of Canadian dollars, Term CORRA determined by reference to the interbank offered rate administered by the CORRA Administrator, which rate shall be no less than zero, in each case plus an applicable margin based on excess availability set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement. We are also required to a pay commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum (depending on the average utilization of the commitments) to the lenders under the ABL Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The Borrower can make voluntary prepayments at any time without penalty, subject to customary breakage costs.

The ABL Facility (and at the Borrower’s option certain hedging, cash management and bank product obligations secured under the ABL Facility) is unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings on a limited‑recourse basis and secured by a second-priority lien on the equity interests of the Borrower held by Holdings. The ABL Facility is also guaranteed by each subsidiary guarantor and secured by a second-priority lien with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral and a first-priority lien with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral.

The ABL Credit Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants with respect to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The ABL Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including relating to a change of control. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The ABL Facility requires that the Borrower, commencing on or after the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the closing date of the ABL Facility, maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 at any time that availability is less than the greater of (x) $120 million and (y) 10% of the lesser of (i) the borrowing base at such time and (ii) the aggregate amount of ABL Facility commitments at such time.

The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $18.8 million related to the ABL Facility, which are being amortized ratably over the term of the financing arrangement. The debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility are presented as an asset, included in other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025, there were $18.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility.

As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the ABL Facility was $199.9 million. The Company also had outstanding standby letters of credit related to the ABL Facility in the amount of $17.5 million as of June 30, 2025.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

(in millions)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $137.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash used in operations increased $137.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily due to the seasonal timing of net working capital requirements for inventory purchases and cash collections.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $10.58 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash used in investing activities increased $10.58 billion in 2025 primarily due to the Beacon Acquisition and an increase in capital expenditures during the period. See Note 3 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.92 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $965.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash provided by financing activities increased $6.96 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to the issuance of the Notes, net borrowings under our Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility, and net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock during the period, which were partially offset by net proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants in the prior year.

We have operations principally within the U.S. and therefore have only minimal foreign currency exposure. We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash equivalents consist primarily of demand and money market accounts and have an original maturity date of 90 days or less. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of June 30, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $199.9 million under our asset-based revolving lines of credit and outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of $823.2 million under our Term Loan Facility and $2.23 billion under our Notes. Borrowings under our ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility incur interest on a floating rate basis while borrowings represented by our Notes incur interest on a fixed rate basis. As of June 30, 2025, our weighted-average effective interest rate on debt instruments with variable rates was 6.94%. A 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material effect on our interest income or expense.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On April 29, 2025, we completed our acquisition of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (see Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). We are currently integrating policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the combined company. Management will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we execute integration activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

The following are important factors that could affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectations, including those expressed in any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report, our other filings with the SEC or in presentations such as webcasts open to the public. You should carefully consider the following factors in conjunction with this Quarterly Report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 – Part I and our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1 – Part I. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, or other risks that we are not aware of become material, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to historical results, risks and impacts to the business are with respect to Beacon and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Beacon Acquisition.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock is likely influenced by our outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares. The market price of our common stock could become more volatile and could be depressed by: (i) investors’ anticipation of the potential resale in the market of a substantial number of additional shares of common stock received upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, correspondingly, the Depositary Shares); (ii) possible sales of our common stock by investors who view the Depositary Shares as a more attractive means of equity participation in us than owning shares of common stock; and (iii) hedging or arbitrage trading activity that we expect to develop involving the Depositary Shares and our common stock.

Our common stock ranks junior to our Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock and our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

Our common stock ranks junior to both our Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), and our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. This means that, unless accumulated dividends have been paid or set aside for payment on all our outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock through the most recently completed dividend period, no dividends may be declared or paid on our common stock subject to limited exceptions. Likewise, in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, no distribution of our assets may be made to holders of our common stock until we have paid to holders of our Convertible Preferred Stock and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.

Risks Related to Product Supply and Vendor Relations

An inability to obtain the products that we distribute could result in lost revenues and reduced margins and damage relationships with customers.

We distribute roofing materials and other complementary building products, such as siding and waterproofing, that are manufactured by a number of major suppliers. Disruptions in our sources of supply may occur as a result of various reasons, including unanticipated demand, production or delivery difficulties, the loss of key supplier arrangements, or broad disruptive events (whether globally, in the U.S., or abroad), such as wars, terrorist actions, cybersecurity attacks or other technological disruptions with respect to manufacturers or the material vendors we rely on, trade disputes, changes in regulation, macroeconomic events, government shutdowns, natural disasters, including those that may be linked to climate change, and/or a pandemic. For example, in 2021 and 2022 the exterior products industry experienced constrained supply chain dynamics caused in large part from global disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we experienced, at times, a limited ability to purchase enough product to meet consumer demand, which resulted in lost revenues. Although we do not believe these lost revenues were material, it is possible that future product shortages could be so severe as to result in material reductions in revenues and margins.

When shortages occur, building material suppliers often allocate products among distributors, and sourcing materials from a limited number of suppliers can increase our risk. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we had three suppliers that each contributed 10% or more of total purchases and, in total, represented nearly 35% of total purchases. Although we believe that our relationships with our suppliers are strong and that we would have access to similar products from competing suppliers should products be unavailable from current sources, any supply shortage, particularly of the most commonly sold items, could result in a loss of revenues and reduced margins and damage our reputation and relationships with customers.

A change in supplier pricing and demand could adversely affect our income and gross margins.

Many of the products that we distribute are subject to price changes based upon manufacturers’ raw material costs, energy costs, labor costs, and tariffs as well as other manufacturer pricing decisions. For example, as a distributor of residential roofing supplies, our business is sensitive to asphalt prices, which are highly volatile and often linked to oil prices, as oil is a significant input in asphalt production. Shingle prices have been volatile in recent years, partly due to volatility in asphalt prices. Other products we distribute, such as plywood and oriented strand board (“OSB”), experienced price volatility largely due to supply and demand imbalances in recent years. In addition to the rising costs of commodities and raw materials, supplier pricing and demand can also be affected by inflationary pressures and other conditions that make it more costly for our suppliers to distribute their products to us, such as fuel shortages, fuel cost increases, or labor shortages.

We may also experience price volatility related to the implementation of tariffs on imported steel or other products. For example, certain of our vendors use steel as a product input, and they may increase prices as a result of tariffs incurred or the overall impact of tariffs on domestic steel prices. It remains unclear what future actions may be taken by the U.S. with respect to trade policies or the imposition of tariffs on imported products, and the impact of those actions on the cost of products we distribute.

Historically, we have generally been able to pass increases in prices on to our customers. Although we often are able to pass on manufacturers’ price increases, our ability to pass on increases in costs and our ability to do so in a timely fashion depends on market conditions. For example, we experienced resource inflation in 2021 and 2022, as a strong recovery in demand following the COVID-19 pandemic created tightness in the market for certain raw materials. This caused our suppliers and us to increase product prices to address higher input costs.

By contrast, the inability to pass along cost increases or a delay in doing so could result in lower operating margins. In addition, higher prices could impact demand for these products, resulting in lower sales volumes.

A change in vendor rebates could adversely affect our income and gross margins.

The terms on which we purchase products from many of our vendors entitle us to receive a rebate based on the volume of our purchases. These rebates effectively reduce our costs for products. Vendors may adversely change the terms of some or all of these programs for a variety of reasons, including if market conditions change. Although these changes would not affect the net recorded costs of product already purchased, it may lower our gross margins on products we sell and therefore the income we realize on such sales in future periods.

Risks Related to Acquisitions and our Growth Strategy

We may not be able to identify potential acquisition targets or successfully complete acquisitions on acceptable terms, which could slow our inorganic growth rate.

Our growth strategy includes acquiring other distributors of roofing materials and complementary building products, such as siding and waterproofing. We continually seek additional acquisition candidates in selected markets, which include engaging in exploratory discussions with potential acquisition candidates, as well as engaging in competitive bidding processes for potential acquisition candidates. We are unable to predict whether or when we will be able to identify any suitable acquisition candidates, or, if we do, the likelihood that any such potential acquisition will be completed. If we cannot complete acquisitions that we identify on acceptable terms, our inorganic growth rate may decline. In addition, our current and potential competitors have made and may continue to make acquisitions that include acquisition candidates in which we were, or would have been, interested in pursuing and such competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties. In the event that our inorganic growth does not keep pace with any significant consolidation among distributors of roofing materials and complementary building products, our competitive position could be adversely affected.

We may not be able to effectively integrate newly acquired businesses into our operations or achieve expected cost savings or profitability from our acquisitions.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

• unforeseen difficulties or disruptions in integrating operations, technologies, services, accounting, and employees;
• diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;
• unforeseen difficulties related to entering geographic regions where we do not have prior experience;
• potential loss of key employees;
• unforeseen cybersecurity risks related to the businesses acquired or to the manufacturers and vendors the acquired businesses rely on;
• unforeseen liabilities and expenses associated with businesses acquired; and
• inability to generate sufficient revenue or realize sufficient cost savings to offset acquisition or investment costs.

As a result, if we fail to evaluate, execute, and integrate acquisitions properly, we might not achieve the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate.

A measure of our success is dependent on maintaining our safety record, and an injury to, or death of, any of our employees, customers, or members of the general public related to our business activities could result in material liabilities and reputational injury.

Our business activities include an inherent risk of catastrophic safety incidents that could result in injuries and deaths. The activities we conduct at our customers’ designated delivery locations — which include construction and residential job sites — present a risk of injury or death to our employees, customers, or visitors, notwithstanding our compliance with safety regulations. We may be unable to avoid material liabilities for an injury or death, and our workers’ compensation and other insurance policies may not be adequate or may not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which could result in material liabilities to us.

Further, as a wholesale distributor of roofing materials and other complementary building products, we lease and operate a fleet of commercial motor vehicles, including semi-tractor trailer trucks, flatbed trucks, and forklifts. Accordingly, a safety incident involving our commercial fleet could result in material economic damages, as well as injuries and/or death, for our employees and any other parties involved. Although we believe our aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover our historic claims amounts, participants in commercial distribution and transportation activities (i.e., trucking and transportation) have experienced large verdicts, including some instances in which juries have awarded significant amounts.

In addition, our brand’s reputation is an important asset to our business; as a result, anything that damages our brand’s reputation could materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, negative media reports, whether or not accurate, can materially and adversely affect our reputation.

Moreover, social media has dramatically increased the rate at which negative publicity can be disseminated before there is any meaningful opportunity to respond to or address an issue to protect our reputation.

Risks Related to Cyclicality, Seasonality, and Weather

Cyclicality in our business and general economic conditions could result in lower revenues and reduced profitability.

A portion of the products we sell are for residential and non-residential construction. The strength of these markets depends on new housing starts and business investment, which are a function of many factors beyond our control, including credit and capital availability, interest rates, foreclosure rates, housing inventory levels and occupancy, changes in the tax laws, employment levels, consumer confidence, and the health of the U.S. economy and mortgage markets. Economic downturns in the regions and markets we serve could result in lower net sales and, since many of our expenses are fixed, lower profitability. Unfavorable changes in demographics, credit markets, consumer confidence, housing affordability, or housing inventory levels and occupancy, or a weakening of the U.S. economy or of any regional or local economy in which we operate, could adversely affect consumer spending, resulting in decreased demand for our products, and adversely affecting our business. In addition, instability in the economy and financial markets, including as a result of terrorism or civil or political unrest, may result in a decrease in housing starts or business investment, which would adversely affect our business.

Seasonality, weather-related conditions, and natural disasters may have a significant impact on our financial results.

The demand for building materials is heavily correlated to both seasonal changes and unpredictable weather patterns. Seasonal demand fluctuations are expected, such as in quarters ending March 31, when winter construction cycles and cold weather patterns typically have an adverse impact on new construction and re-roofing activity. The timing of weather patterns (unseasonable temperatures) and severe weather events (hurricanes, hailstorms, and protracted rain) may impact our financial results within a given period either positively or negatively, making it difficult to accurately forecast our results of operations. We expect that these seasonal and weather-related variations will continue in the future.

Certain extreme weather events and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tropical storms, floods, droughts, and wildfires, may adversely impact us in several ways, including interfering with our ability to deliver our products, impeding our receipt of product from our vendors, disrupting branch staffing, reducing demand for our products, impairing our customers’ ability to pay accounts receivable, and damaging our facilities and inventory, although some of these adverse impacts may be offset by increased demand relating to damage from these weather events and natural disasters. Some of the areas in which we operate, including California, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Texas and other coastal areas, have experienced recent natural disasters and have increased risks of adverse weather or natural disasters. The physical effects of climate change may increase the frequency or severity of natural disasters and other extreme weather events in the future, which could increase our exposure to these risks.

Risks Related to Information Technology

If we encounter interruptions in the proper functioning of our information technology systems, including from cybersecurity threats, we could experience material problems with our operations, including inventory, collections, customer service, cost control, and business plan execution that could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, including unanticipated increases in costs or decreases in net sales.

Our information technology systems (“IT systems” or “systems”), which include information technology networks, hardware, applications, and the data related thereto, are integral to the operation of our business. We use our IT systems to, among other things, provide complete integration of purchasing, receiving, order processing, shipping, inventory management, delivery routing, sales analysis, cash management, and accounting, as well as to process, transmit, protect, store, and delete sensitive and confidential electronic data, including, but not limited to, employee, supplier, and customer data (“Data”). Our IT systems include third-party applications and proprietary applications developed and maintained by us. We rely heavily on information technology both in serving our customers and in our enterprise infrastructure to achieve our objectives. In certain instances, we also rely on the systems of third parties to assist with conducting our business, which includes, among other things, marketing and distributing products, developing new products and services, operating our website, hosting and managing our services, securely storing Data, processing transactions, purchasing and receiving, billing and accounts receivable management, responding to customer inquiries, managing inventory and our supply chain, and managing our human resources processes and services. As a result, the secure and reliable operation of our systems (including its function of securing Data), and those of third parties upon whom we depend, are critical to the successful operation of our business. Any failure or interruption of our IT systems, including the systems of third parties upon whom we depend, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results, and reputation.

Although our IT systems and Data are protected through security measures and business continuity plans, our systems and those of third parties upon whom we depend may be vulnerable to: natural disasters; power outages; telecommunication or utility failures; terrorist acts; breaches due to employee error or malfeasance or other insider threats; disruptions during the process of upgrading or replacing computer software or hardware; terminations of business relationships by us or third-party service providers; and disinformation campaigns, damage or intrusion from a variety of deliberate cyber-attacks carried out by insiders or third parties, which are becoming more sophisticated and include computer viruses, worms, gaining unauthorized access to systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information either directly or through our vendors and customers, denial of service attacks, ransomware, supply chain attacks, data corruption, malicious distribution of inaccurate information or other malicious software programs that may impact such systems and cause operational disruption. For these IT systems and related business processes to operate effectively, we or our service providers must continually maintain and update them. Delays in the maintenance, updates, upgrading, or patching of these systems and related business processes could impair their effectiveness or expose us to security risks. In addition, if IT systems are damaged, restoration or recovery of those systems may not be achievable in a timely manner.

Even with our policies, procedures, and programs designed to ensure the integrity of our IT systems and the security of Data, we may not be effective in identifying and mitigating every risk to which we are exposed. In some instances, we may have no current capability to detect certain vulnerabilities, which may allow them to persist in the environment over long periods of time.

Additionally, existing and future artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities present a growing threat by aiding experienced and inexperienced threat actors in identifying vulnerabilities and crafting increasingly sophisticated and targeted cybersecurity attacks. Vulnerabilities may also be introduced from the use of AI by us, our customers or suppliers. Use of AI by us or such third parties, whether authorized or unauthorized, increases the risk that our proprietary information or intellectual property will be unintentionally disclosed, and may introduce new risks such as inaccurate output.

Despite the precautions we take to mitigate the risks of such events, any attack on our IT systems or breach of our Data, or the IT systems and Data of third parties upon whom we depend, could result in, but are not limited to, the following: business disruption, misstated or misappropriated financial data, product shortages and/or an increase in accounts receivable aging, an adverse impact on our ability to attract and serve customers, delays in the execution of our business plan, theft of our intellectual property or other non-public confidential information and Data, including that of our customers, suppliers, and employees, liability for stolen assets or information, and higher operating costs including increased cybersecurity protection costs. Such events could harm our reputation and have an adverse impact on our financial results, including the impact of related legal, regulatory, and remediation costs. In addition, if any information about our customers, including payment information, were the subject of a successful cybersecurity attack against us, we could be subject to litigation or other claims by the affected customers. Further, regulatory authorities have increased their focus on how companies collect, process, use, store, share, and transmit personal data. Privacy security laws and regulations, including federal and state laws in the U.S. and federal and provincial laws in Canada, pose increasingly complex compliance challenges, which may increase compliance costs, and any failure to comply with data privacy laws and regulations could result in litigation, significant sanctions, monetary costs, or other harm to us.

If we decide to switch providers, develop our own IT systems to replace providers, or implement upgrades or replacements to our own systems, we may be unsuccessful in this development, or we may underestimate the costs and expenses of switching providers or developing and implementing our own systems. Also, our sales levels may be negatively impacted during the period of implementing an alternative system, which period could extend longer than we anticipate.

Risks Related to Human Capital

Loss of key talent or our inability to attract and retain new qualified talent could hurt our ability to operate and grow successfully.

Our success will continue to depend to a significant extent on our executive officers and key management personnel, including branch managers. We may not be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or recruit and attract additional qualified management. The loss of any of our current executive officers or other key management employees, or a delay in recruiting or our inability to recruit and retain qualified employees could adversely affect our ability to operate and make it difficult to execute our strategies to drive growth, enhance customer service, and expand our footprint in key markets. In addition, our operating results could be adversely affected by increased competition for employees, shortages of qualified workers, or higher employee turnover, all of which could have adverse effects on levels of customer service or result in increased employee compensation or benefit costs.

Our business may be adversely affected by work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and other matters associated with our labor force or the labor force of our suppliers or customers.

Any labor disputes, work stoppages, or unionization efforts could result in significant increases in our cost of labor. While we believe that our relations with employees generally and the labor unions that represent our employees (which as of December 31, 2024 was approximately 4.4% of our workforce) are generally good and we have experienced no material strikes or work stoppages recently (and there are no material outstanding labor disputes currently), in the future we could experience these and other types of conflicts with labor unions, other groups representing employees, or with our employees in general.

Installation, replacement and repair of roofing is a labor-intensive business. Demand for our products may be impacted by our customers’ ability to attract, train, and retain workers. Changes in immigration laws and regulations, trends in labor migration, and increases in our customers’ personnel costs or the inability of our customers to hire sufficient personnel, which may be amplified in tight labor market conditions, could adversely impact our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Regulatory Risk

Our activities and operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations and we could become subject to newly enacted laws and regulations, compliance with which could increase our general and administrative costs. If we violate such laws or regulations, we could face penalties and fines or be required to curtail operations.

We are subject to various federal, state, provincial, local and other laws and regulations, including, among other things, environmental, climate, transportation, health and safety laws and regulations, tax laws and regulations, and potential tariffs on imported products. Some of the regulations to which we are subject include:

• transportation regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Transportation;
• work safety regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration;
• employment regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the U.S. Department of Labor;
• environmental regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency; and
• similar regulations promulgated by state, provincial, and local regulators.

Concern over climate change has led to, and may in the future lead to, new or increased legal and regulatory requirements designed to reduce or mitigate the effects of climate change, which could increase our operating or capital expenses and compliance burdens.

Applicable laws and regulations require us to obtain and maintain permits and approvals and implement programs and procedures to control risks associated with our operations. Compliance in these or other areas may increase our general and administrative costs and adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows. Moreover, failure to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to our business could expose us to investigation, enforcement actions, litigation, and substantial fines and penalties that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

These laws, regulations, or rules and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could be substantial and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We cannot predict the nature and timing of future developments in law and regulations and whether we will be successful in meeting future demands of regulatory bodies in a manner which will not materially adversely affect us.

Risks Related to the Acquisition of Beacon

We may be unable to integrate Beacon successfully and realize the anticipated benefits of the Beacon Acquisition.

The successful integration of Beacon and operations into those of our own and our ability to realize the expected benefits of the transaction are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. We will also be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating business practices, cultures and operations of each business. The risks and uncertainties relating to integrating the two businesses include, among other things:

• the challenge of integrating complex organizations, systems, operating procedures, compliance programs, technology, networks and other assets of Beacon;
• the difficulties harmonizing differences in the business cultures of QXO and Beacon;
• the inability to successfully integrate our respective businesses in a manner that permits us to achieve the cost savings and other anticipated benefits from the Beacon Acquisition;
• the inability to minimize the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns during the process of integrating Beacon into our businesses;
• the inability to resolve potential conflicts that may arise relating to customer, supplier and other important relationships of our business and Beacon;
• difficulties in retaining key management and other key employees; and
• the challenge of managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company and coordinating geographically separate organizations.

As a result of the Beacon Acquisition, we expect to realize certain synergies and cost savings. Any synergies and cost savings that we realize may differ materially from our estimates and involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such estimates. This information is speculative in nature, and some or all of the assumptions underlying the estimated synergies and cost savings may not materialize or may vary from actual results. Our ability to realize these anticipated synergies and savings is subject to significant uncertainties and you should not place undue reliance on the adjustments in evaluating our anticipated results.

We have incurred substantial expenses to consummate the Beacon Acquisition but may not realize the anticipated benefits. In addition, even if we are able to integrate Beacon successfully, the anticipated benefits of the Beacon Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Given the size and significance of the Beacon Acquisition, we may encounter difficulties in the integration of the operations of Beacon and may fail to realize the full benefits and synergies of the Beacon Acquisition, which could adversely impact our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Beacon may have liabilities that are not known to us.

Beacon may have liabilities that we failed, or were unable, to discover in the course of performing our due diligence investigations of Beacon. We cannot assure you that the indemnification available to us under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 20, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”) in respect of the Beacon Acquisition will be sufficient in amount, scope or duration to fully offset the possible liabilities associated with the business of Beacon or property that we assumed upon consummation of the Beacon Acquisition. We may learn additional information about Beacon that materially adversely affects us, such as unknown or contingent liabilities and liabilities related to compliance with applicable laws. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Acquisition accounting adjustments could adversely affect our financial results.

We will account for the completion of the Beacon Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. We will allocate the total estimated purchase price to net tangible assets, amortizable intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and based on their fair values as of the date of completion of the Beacon Acquisition record the excess, if any, of the purchase price over those fair values as goodwill. Differences between preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

We will be subject to business uncertainties that could adversely affect our business.

Our success following the Beacon Acquisition will depend in part upon the ability to maintain our business relationships. Uncertainty about the effect of the Beacon Acquisition on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies may have a material adverse effect on us. Customers, suppliers and others who deal with us may delay or defer business decisions, decide to terminate, modify or renegotiate their relationships or take other actions as a result of the Beacon Acquisition that could negatively affect the revenues, earnings and cash flows of our company. If we are unable to maintain these business and operational relationships, our financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially affected.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

We incurred substantial additional indebtedness in connection with the Beacon Acquisition.

We incurred, through our wholly owned subsidiary QXO Building Products, Inc. (formerly known as Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (the “Credit Parties”), substantial indebtedness in connection with the Beacon Acquisition. As of the closing of the Beacon Acquisition, on a consolidated basis, we had approximately $4.9 billion face value of outstanding indebtedness (excluding capital leases and finance lease obligations), and revolving commitments under the ABL Facility of $2.0 billion, of which $199.9 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $1.78 billion available for additional borrowing under our ABL Facility (subject to a borrowing base and excluding approximately $17.5 million in letters of credit outstanding thereunder).

Our high level of debt could have important consequences, including:

• making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an event of default under the agreements governing other indebtedness;
• requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of interest and the repayment of our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available to us for other purposes;
• limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, business development or other general corporate requirements, including dividends, if and when declared by our board of directors;
• increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
• making us more highly leveraged than some of our competitors, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage;
• restricting us from making strategic acquisitions, engaging in development activities or exploiting business opportunities;
• causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;
• exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings are and may in the future be at variable rates of interest;
• limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our industry;
• impacting our effective tax rate; and
• increasing our cost of borrowing.

In addition, the credit agreements governing the Credit Facilities and the Indenture contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Credit Parties to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interest. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of substantially all of our indebtedness.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy the obligations of the Credit Parties under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or refinance the debt obligations of the Credit Parties depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit the Credit Parties to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund the debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to dispose of material assets or operations, alter our dividend policy, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to effect any such alternative measures on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may not allow us to meet the scheduled debt service obligations. The instruments governing our indebtedness restrict our ability to dispose of assets and restrict the use of proceeds from those dispositions and also restrict our ability to raise debt or equity capital to be used to repay other indebtedness when it becomes due. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain proceeds in an amount sufficient to meet any debt service obligations when due.

Our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy the debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness or pay dividends on our Common Stock.

Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

The credit agreements that govern the Credit Facilities and the Indenture contain, and any other existing or future indebtedness of ours would likely contain, a number of covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, through the Credit Parties, including restrictions on the ability of the Credit Parties to, among other things:

• incur additional debt, guarantee indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;
• pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock or make other restricted payments;
• prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;
• make loans or certain investments;
• sell certain assets;
• create liens on certain assets;
• consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;
• enter into certain transactions with our affiliates;
• enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and
• designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

As a result of these covenants, we are limited in the manner in which we conduct our business, and may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs.

A failure to comply with the covenants under the Credit Facilities, the Indenture or any of our other existing or future indebtedness could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of an event of default under the Credit Facilities, the lenders:

• will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us;
• could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit;
• could require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings; or
• could effectively prevent us from making debt service payments (due to a cash sweep feature).

Such actions by the lenders could cause cross defaults under our other indebtedness. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the holders of the Notes, the lenders under the Credit Facilities and any of our other existing or future secured indebtedness could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the Notes, the Credit Facilities or such other indebtedness. We pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under the Notes and the Credit Facilities.
