GREENWICH, Conn. — March 4, 2025 — QXO, Inc. (NYSE: QXO) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter 2024. The company reported a loss of $(0.02) per basic and diluted shares attributable to common shareholders.

For the full year 2024, the company reported a loss of $(0.11) per basic and diluted shares attributable to common shareholders.

“We are making significant strides in establishing QXO as a tech-forward leader in the $800 billion building products distribution industry,” said Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of QXO. “Our strong balance sheet, including more than $5 billion of cash and no debt, is enabling our world-class leadership team to pursue multiple high-value M&A opportunities.”

Total revenue for the quarter was $14.7 million, compared with $14.7 million for the same period in 2023. Software product revenue was $5.0 million, compared with $4.6 million for the same period in 2023. Service and other revenue was $9.8 million, compared with $10.1 million for the same period in 2023.

Net income, inclusive of $61.4 million interest income, was $11.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $(7.7) million, compared with a gain of $0.7 million for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted EBITDA reflects costs related to the introduction of a new senior management team to execute QXO’s expansive growth plan.

As of December 31, 2024, the company had approximately $5.1 billion in cash on hand and no debt.

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

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

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

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

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