Performance Overview
QXO Inc reported total revenue of $14.54 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase from $13.26 million in the same period last year. However, the company faced a net loss of $591,000, or $9.93 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $344,000, or $0.52 per share, in the previous year. The adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $1.21 million, compared to a positive $705,000 in the same quarter last year.
Financial Achievements and Challenges
Despite the net loss, QXO Inc achieved significant revenue growth in both its software product and service segments. Software product revenue increased to $3.78 million from $3.30 million, while service and other revenue rose to $10.76 million from $9.96 million. However, the company faced higher employee-related costs due to the introduction of a new senior management team, which impacted its profitability.
Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of QXO, said, “I’m pleased that we’ve achieved three significant milestones in less than 10 weeks since launching QXO. We have an accomplished senior management team and board of directors in place, and approximately $5 billion of cash to execute our strategy, following two private placements. These are all cornerstones of our plan to become a tech-forward leader in building products distribution through accretive acquisitions and organic growth.”
