 CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this "Annual Report") contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about beliefs, expectations, targets and goals are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on plans, estimates, expectations and/or goals at the time the statements are made, and readers should not place undue reliance on them. In some cases, readers can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "opportunity," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "target," "goal," or "continue," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and readers are cautioned that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein include, among others:
 • risks associated with potential significant volatility and fluctuations in the market price of the Company's common stock;
 • risks associated with raising additional equity or debt capital from public or private markets to pursue the Company's business plan, including potentially one or more additional private placements of common stock, and the effects that raising such capital may have on the Company and its business, including the risk of substantial dilution or that the Company's common stock may experience a substantial decline in trading price;
 • the possibility that additional future financings may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all;
 • the possibility that an active, liquid trading market for the Company's common stock may not be sustained;
 • the possibility that the Company's outstanding warrants and preferred stock may or may not be converted or exercised, and the economic impact on the Company and the holders of common stock of the Company that may result from either such exercise or conversion, including dilution, or the continuance of the preferred stock remaining outstanding, and the impact its terms, including its dividend, may have on the Company and the common stock of the Company;
 • uncertainties regarding the Company's focus, strategic plans and other management actions;
 • the risk that the Company is or becomes highly dependent on the continued leadership of Brad Jacobs as chairman and chief executive officer and the possibility that the loss of Mr. Jacobs in these roles could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations;
 • the possibility that the concentration of ownership by Mr. Jacobs may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company and might affect the market price of shares of the common stock of the Company;
 • the risk that Mr. Jacobs' past performance may not be representative of future results;
 • the risk that the Company is unable to attract and retain world-class talent;
 • the risk that the failure to consummate any acquisition expeditiously, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business prospects, financial condition, results of operations or the price of the Company's common stock;
 • risks that the Company may not be able to enter into agreements with acquisition targets on attractive terms, or at all, that agreed acquisitions may not be consummated, or, if consummated, that the anticipated benefits thereof may not be realized and that the Company encounter difficulties in integrating and operating such acquired companies, or that matters related to an acquired business (including operating results or liabilities or contingencies) may have a negative effect on the Company or its securities or ability to implement its business strategy, including that any such transaction may be dilutive or have other negative consequences to the Company and its value or the trading prices of its securities;

 • risks associated with cybersecurity and technology, including attempts by third parties to defeat the security measures of the Company and its business partners, and the loss of confidential information and other business disruptions;
 • the possibility that new investors in any future financing transactions could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Company's existing stockholders;
 • the possibility that building products distribution industry demand may soften or shift substantially due to cyclicality or seasonality or dependence on general economic and political conditions, including inflation or deflation, interest rates, governmental subsidies or incentives, consumer confidence, labor and supply shortages, weather and commodity prices;
 • the possibility that regional or global barriers to trade or a global trade war could increase the cost of products in the building products distribution industry, which could adversely impact the competitiveness of such products and the financial results of businesses in the industry;
 • risks associated with periodic litigation, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions, which may adversely affect the Company's business and financial performance;
 • uncertainties regarding general economic, business, competitive, legal, regulatory, tax and geopolitical conditions; and
 • other factors, including those set forth in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including this Annual Report.
 The company cautions that forward-looking statements should not be relied on as predictions of future events, and these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. Forward-looking statements herein speak only as of the date each statement is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any of these statements in light of new information or future events, except to the extent required by applicable law.

 Item 1. Business Overview
 QXO, Inc. ("QXO", "we", or the "Company") was formerly known as SilverSun Technologies, Inc. ("SilverSun"). On June 6, 2024, we changed the Company's name from SilverSun to QXO and changed its ticker symbol on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Nasdaq") from SSNT to QXO, upon completing a $1.0 billion cash investment in SilverSun by Jacobs Private Equity II, LLC ("JPE") and certain minority co-investors. Refer to Note 3 - Equity of Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for further details about the investment and related changes to our capital structure. On January 17, 2025, we transferred the listing of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "common stock"), from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). The Company's listing and trading of the common stock on Nasdaq ended at market close on January 16, 2025. The Company's common stock began trading on the NYSE on January 17, 2025.
 QXO is a technology solutions and professional services company that helps businesses manage and monetize their enterprise assets. We do this through our legacy operations, which provide critical software applications, consulting and other professional services, including specialized programming, training and technical support. Our customers are primarily small and mid-sized companies in the manufacturing, distribution and service industries.
 Our Strategy
 Our strategy is to create a tech-forward leader in the $800 billion building products distribution industry with the goal of generating outsized stockholder value through accretive acquisitions and organic growth, including greenfield openings, and operational transformation of acquired businesses. We are executing our strategy toward a target of tens of billions of dollars of annual revenue in the next decade.
 We grow our legacy business with a multi-pronged plan that fosters recurring revenue, customer retention and the steady expansion of our installed customer base, accomplished via sales and acquisitions. As we gain new customers, we help them digitally transform their business with further technologies and third-party software we represent, including application hosting, cybersecurity, warehouse management, human capital management, payment automation, sales tax compliance and many other value-added capabilities. Many of our offerings are billed on a subscription basis, increasing our monthly recurring revenue from new business in tandem with cross-selling. Our model is designed to increase average revenue per customer over the course of the relationship, facilitating our growth without a commensurate increase in costs of sales, and enhancing our profitability profile.
 Our legacy business has five core components:
 • Enterprise Resource Planning Software
 Substantially all our initial sales of enterprise resource planning ("ERP") financial accounting solutions consist of pre-packaged software and associated services to customers in the United States. We resell Sage, Accumatica, and other ERP software products, and provide related services, including installation, implementation, support, training, and a technical help desk.
 • Value-Added Services for ERP
 Our consulting and professional services organization shepherds our customer relationships from installation to go-live and forward as needed. A significant portion of our service revenue comes from continuing to work with existing customers as their needs change, with flexible revenue options that include prepaid services, time and materials as utilized and annual support.
 • IT Managed Network Services and Business Consulting
 We provide comprehensive managed Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") solutions, such as infrastructure-as-a-service, cybersecurity, cloud hosting, business continuity, disaster recovery, data back-up, network maintenance and server applications upgrade services.

 • Cybersecurity
 Our cybersecurity-as-a-service offering is managed by our security operations center and includes incident response, cybersecurity assessments and hacking simulations. This SaaS offering is particularly valuable to customers in compliance-driven and regulated industries, including financial services, pension administration, insurance and the land and title sector.
 • Application Hosting
 Our SaaS hosting solutions enable applications to reside securely in a remote cloud infrastructure and be accessed by our customers through the internet, eliminating many of the costs of maintaining business technologies on site.
 Our Company has executed this plan successfully to expand into new geographies and create additional revenue and profit streams. This has strengthened our legacy operating platform and expanded our footprint to nearly every U.S. state.
 Industry
 As a value-added reseller of business application software, we offer solutions for accounting and business management, financial reporting, managed services, ERP, human capital management (HRM), warehouse management system (WMS), customer relationship management (CRM), and business intelligence (BI). Additionally, we have our own development staff building software solutions for various ERP enhancements. Our value-added services focus on consulting and professional services, specialized programming, training, and technical support. The majority of our customers are small and mid-sized companies.
 Customers and Markets
 We market our products primarily throughout North America. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no single customer accounted for ten percent or more of our consolidated revenues base.
 Intellectual Property
 We regard our technology and other proprietary rights as essential to our business. We rely on copyright, trade secret, confidentiality procedures, contract provisions, and trademark law to protect our technology and intellectual property. We have also entered into confidentiality agreements with our consultants and corporate partners and intend to control access to, and distribution of our products, documentation, and other proprietary information.
 Competition
 Our markets are highly fragmented, and the business is characterized by a large number of participants, including several large companies, as well as a significant number of small, privately-held, local competitors. A significant portion of our revenue is currently derived from requests for proposals ("RFPs") and price is often an important factor in awarding such agreements. Accordingly, our competitors may underbid us if they elect to price their services aggressively to procure such business. Our competitors may also develop the expertise, experience and resources to provide services that are equal or superior in both price and quality to our services, and we may not be able to enhance our competitive position. The principal competitive factors for our professional services include geographic presence, breadth of service offerings, technical skills, quality of service and industry reputation. We believe we compete favorably with our competitors on the basis of these factors.
 Human Capital
 As of December 31, 2024, we had 211 full time employees with 53 of our employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, 96 employees engaged in service fulfillment, and 62 employees performing administrative functions. Our future success depends in significant part upon the continued services of our key sales, technical, and senior management personnel and our ability to attract and retain highly qualified sales, technical, and managerial personnel. None of QXO's employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement and QXO has never experienced a work stoppage.

 Human capital management is critical to our ongoing business success, which requires investing in our people. Our aim is to create a highly engaged and motivated workforce where employees are inspired by leadership, engaged in purpose-driven, meaningful work and have opportunities for growth and development. We are committed to creating and maintaining a work environment in which employees are treated with respect and dignity. We value our diverse employees and provide career and professional development opportunities that foster the success of our company. An effective approach to human capital management requires that we invest in talent, development, culture and employee engagement. We aim to create an environment where our employees are encouraged to make positive contributions and fulfill their potential. We emphasize our core values of innovation, encouragement, motivation, and curiosity with our employees to instill our culture and create an environment of growth and positivity.

 Item 1A. Risk Factors
 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 Annual Report, our other filings with the SEC or in presentations such as telephone conferences and webcasts open to the public. You should carefully consider the following factors in conjunction with this Annual Report, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 – Part II and our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 8 – Part II. 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.
 Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
 The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile, and you could lose all or a substantial portion of your investment.
 The trading price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. Our common stock has a concentrated ownership among our significant stockholders and, as a result, our common stock may be less liquid and have greater stock price volatility than the common stock of companies with broader public ownership.
 Since June 13, 2024, when we first sold common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreements at a price of $9.14 per share, and until we filed our registration statement on Form S-3, the reported closing sale price of our common stock had been highly volatile, ranging from $41.74 to $205.40, in each case substantially higher than the price at which we sold common stock in connection with the private placements pursuant to purchase agreements we entered into on June 13, 2024 and July 22, 2024. While the market prices of our common stock may respond to developments regarding our liquidity, operating performance and prospects, and developments regarding our industry, we believe that historical market prices also reflected market and trading dynamics unrelated to our underlying business, or macro or industry fundamentals, and we do not know if these dynamics will occur again. Under the circumstances, we caution you that investing in our common stock is subject to a high degree of risk.
 Our stock price could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of other factors, which include:
 • whether we achieve our anticipated corporate objectives;
 • changes in financial or operational estimates or projections;
 • termination of lock-up agreements or other restrictions on the ability of our stockholders and other security holders to sell our securities; and
 • general economic or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.
 In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies. Such rapid and substantial price volatility, including any stock run-up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock. This volatility may prevent you from being able to sell your shares of common stock at or above the price you paid for them.
 Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly, even if our business is doing well.
 Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock.

 Sales of our common stock by current stockholders may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate, and make it more difficult to sell shares of our common stock. We have filed a registration statement registering 789,549,465 shares of common stock held by, or issuable upon conversion or exercise of securities held by, stockholders party to certain agreements with the Company providing them with registration rights. Substantial sales of securities by these stockholders, or the perception that substantial sales will be made in the public market, could have a material adverse effect on the market price for our common stock.
 In addition, pursuant to the Company's registration rights agreement with JPE and certain other investors party thereto, JPE has certain demand registration rights that may require us to conduct underwritten offerings of shares. Any shares of common stock sold in these offerings will be freely tradable. In the event such registration rights are exercised and a large number of shares of common stock is sold, such sales could reduce the trading price of our common stock. These sales also could impede our ability to raise future capital.
 We have also registered on Form S-8 all shares of common stock that are issuable under our 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. As a consequence, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance. Any sales of shares by these stockholders could have a negative impact on the trading price of our common stock and result in dilution.
 An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained.
 There has been limited trading volume of our common stock since we began trading on Nasdaq and, following the transfer of our listing in January 2025, the NYSE. An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may reduce the market price of our common stock, and you may not be able to sell your shares at an attractive price, or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock in the future and may impair our ability to enter into strategic collaborations or acquire companies by using our shares of common stock as consideration.
 If too few securities or industry analysts publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, the price of our common stock and our trading volume could decline.
 The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If too few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our Company, the trading price for our common stock would likely be negatively affected. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade us or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause the price of our common stock and trading volume to decline.
 We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment may depend on appreciation in the market price of our common stock.
 Although we have previously declared and paid cash dividends on our common stock, we currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board. Accordingly, investors must for the foreseeable future rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.
 Raising additional equity capital from public or private markets to pursue our business plan may cause our existing holders of common stock to experience substantial dilution or their shares to have a significant decline in trading price.
 We may raise additional equity capital from public or private markets to pursue our business plan for acquisitions. Any future significant issuances of common stock could result in dilution to our existing holders of common stock. Moreover, any significant issuances of common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock could result in a substantial decline in the trading price of our common stock. In particular, in June and July 2024 we did, and in the future we may, issue additional shares of common stock at a significant discount from the current trading price of our common stock. As a result, our common stockholders would experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any shares of our common stock sold at such a discount. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities could occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 If we are unable to arrange additional future financing on acceptable terms, our ability to pursue potential acquisition opportunities or fund our working capital needs could be limited.
 We intend to finance acquisitions in part through additional equity and debt financings. Because the timing and size of acquisitions cannot be readily predicted, we may need to be able to obtain funding on relatively short notice to benefit fully from attractive acquisition opportunities. In addition, the Company will need to fund its ongoing working capital, capital expenditures and other financing requirements through cash flows from operations and new sources of financing. The sale of additional shares of any class of equity will be subject to market conditions and investor demand for such shares at prices that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders. The sale of additional equity securities could also result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Such inability to obtain additional financing when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, financial condition and prospects.
 New investors in future financing transactions could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Company's existing stockholders.
 We expect that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to support our business growth. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of our common stock.
 Participants in the June and July 2024 private placements purchased securities in the Company at a price below the current trading price of such securities, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price. Future investors in our Company may not experience a similar rate of return.
 Pursuant to private placements, certain institutional and accredited investors acquired shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $9.14 per share and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $9.13999 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Furthermore, certain investors purchased Convertible Preferred Stock that is convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.566. Because the current market price of our common stock as of the date of this Annual Report is higher than the effective purchase price such investors paid for their securities, there may be a higher likelihood that such investors will sell their shares in the near term. Public investors who purchased our common stock on Nasdaq or, following the transfer of our listing in January 2025, NYSE may not experience a similar rate of return due to differences in the purchase prices they have paid and the purchase prices paid by such investors.
 The concentration of ownership by Mr. Jacobs and director designation rights may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company and could affect the market price of shares of our common stock.
 Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brad Jacobs, beneficially owns or controls approximately 31.4% of the voting power of our capital stock (including the voting power attributable to our preferred stock). This concentration of ownership and voting power allows Mr. Jacobs to exert significant influence over our decisions, including matters requiring approval by our stockholders (such as, subject to certain limitations, the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other extraordinary transactions), regardless of whether or not other stockholders believe that the transaction is in their own best interests.
 In addition, under our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter"), JPE, which is controlled by Mr. Jacobs, is currently entitled to designate a majority of persons to the Board in connection with each meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected because the investors (the "Investors") party to the Investment Agreement (as defined below) beneficially own or control approximately 49.2% of the voting power of our capital stock when calculated on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, assuming the exercise of the Company Warrants. JPE currently holds 900,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and 197,109,065 Warrants, which may be converted or exchanged into an aggregate of 394,218,132 shares of common stock. So long as the Investors party to the Investment Agreement collectively own or control (together with their affiliates) Convertible Preferred Stock, shares of common stock or other voting securities, or Warrants exercisable for such securities, representing, in the aggregate, at least 45% of the total voting power of the capital stock of the Company, calculated on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, JPE will continue to be entitled to designate a majority of persons to our Board. JPE's right to designate persons to the Board will generally decrease proportionally together with a decrease in the Investors' ownership or control (together with affiliates) of Convertible Preferred Stock, shares of common stock or other voting securities, or Warrants exercisable for such securities, calculated

 on a fully diluted, as-converted basis. Accordingly, Mr. Jacobs may be able to exercise significant influence over our business policies and affairs.
 Such concentration of voting power and designation rights could also have the effect of delaying, deterring or precluding a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common stock.
 Anti-takeover provisions contained in our Charter and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
 Our Charter and amended and restated bylaws contain, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") contains, provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board. These provisions provide for the following:
 • the right of JPE to designate a majority of our Board;
 • the ability of our remaining directors to fill vacancies on our Board;
 • limitations on stockholders' ability to call a special stockholder meeting or act by written consent;
 • rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings;
 • the right of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval; and
 • the limitation of liability of, and provision of indemnification to, our directors and officers.
 These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control that you may favor. Section 203 provides that, subject to limited exceptions, persons that acquire, or are affiliated with persons that acquire, more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of a Delaware corporation may not engage in a business combination with that corporation, including by merger, consolidation or acquisitions of additional shares, for a three-year period following the date on which that person or any of its affiliates becomes the holder of more than 15% of the corporation's outstanding voting stock.
 Any provision of our Charter, our amended and restated bylaws, or the DGCL that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.
 Our Charter provides that certain courts in the State of Delaware or the federal district courts of the United States for certain types of lawsuits is the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
 Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, a state court located within the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for: i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, ii) any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or employees to us or our stockholders, including a claim alleging the aiding and abetting of such a breach of fiduciary duty, iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or of our Charter or our amended and restated bylaws (as either may be amended and/or restated from time to time), iv) any action asserting a claim related to or involving us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, or v) any action asserting an "internal corporate claim" as defined under the DGCL. The exclusive forum provision does not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws for which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction. Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or such other federal securities laws.

 Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to have consented to the provisions of our Charter described above. Although we believe this exclusive forum provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law and federal securities laws in the types of lawsuits to which each applies, the choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders. However, the enforceability of similar forum provisions in other companies' certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings. If a court were to find the exclusive choice of forum provision contained in our Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 Risks Related to our Management
 We are highly dependent on the continued leadership of Brad Jacobs as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The possibility of the loss of Mr. Jacobs in these roles could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 We are highly dependent on the leadership of Brad Jacobs as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and we have benefited substantially from his leadership and performance. Our ability to successfully implement our business strategy depends to a significant extent on the continued service and performance of Mr. Jacobs. The loss of Mr. Jacobs' services could impair our ability to execute our business plan and could, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 The past performance by Brad Jacobs or our management team may not be indicative of future performance or results.
 Past performance by Brad Jacobs or our management team, including transactions in which they have participated and businesses with which they have been associated, may not be representative of our future performance or the returns the Company will generate going forward. Our financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on the historical record of Mr. Jacobs or our management team as indicative of the future performance of an investment of our Company.
 Our success depends upon the retention of our senior management as well as our ability to attract and retain key talent.
 Our continued success depends, in part, on the efforts and abilities of our senior management team and other key employees. While certain of our executive officers and key employees are subject to long-term compensatory arrangements, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain all key members of our senior management. Difficulties in hiring or retaining key executive or other employee talent, or the unexpected loss of experienced employees, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 Risks Related to Acquisitions
 The failure to consummate acquisitions expeditiously, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, results of operations or the price of our common stock.
 Acquisitions are an important component of our business strategy, as we intend to operate a company focused on building products distribution, but currently do not have any operations in this sector. Acquisition opportunities are likely to arise from time to time, and any such acquisition could be significant. The evaluation of each specific acquisition target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant transaction agreements and other ancillary documents, disclosure documents and other instruments, requires substantial management time and attention, as well as costs related to fees payable to counsel, accountants and other third parties. Our ability to consummate an acquisition is dependent on a number of factors and conditions that require time, attention and collaboration across multiple parties, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals of the contemplated transaction.

 Certain acquisition opportunities may not result in the consummation of a transaction. When an identified transaction is not consummated, we are not able to recover the cost spent pursuing such transaction, which reduces the amount of capital available for other identified targets. Failure to complete an acquisition could adversely affect our business as we could be required to pay a termination fee under certain circumstances or be subject to litigation, and our stock price may also suffer as the failure to consummate such an acquisition may result in negative perception in the investment community. Additionally, we may not be able to identify or execute alternative arrangements on favorable terms, if at all. If we fail to consummate and integrate our acquisitions in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 We may not be able to successfully integrate the businesses that we acquire and fail to realize the anticipated benefits and our business could be negatively affected from unexpected or contingent liabilities.
 We may not be able to successfully integrate operations that we acquire, including their personnel, financial systems, distribution or operating procedures. The integration process may entail significant costs and delays. The integration of operations and personnel may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources. The attention of our management may be directed towards integration considerations and may be diverted from our day-to-day operations, and matters related to the integration may require commitments of time and resources that could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that might have been beneficial to us and our business. Our failure to integrate the operations of companies successfully could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, we may fail to identify material problems or liabilities during due diligence review of acquisition targets prior to acquisition, and acquire entities with unknown or contingent liabilities, costs and problems. Further, we may significantly increase our leverage in connection with an acquisition, which could increase our future debt service obligations and limit our flexibility to pursue additional strategic acquisitions. As a result, any acquisitions may not provide the anticipated benefits and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 We face competition for businesses that fit our acquisition strategy and, therefore, we may have to acquire targets at sub-optimal prices or, alternatively, forego certain acquisition opportunities.
 Our acquisition strategy is focused on the acquisition of businesses in the building products distribution industry. In pursuing such acquisitions, we may face competition from other potential purchasers. Although the pool of potential purchasers for such businesses is typically small, those potential purchasers can be aggressive in their approach to acquiring such businesses. Furthermore, we may need to use third-party financing in order to fund some or all of these potential acquisitions, thereby increasing our acquisition costs. To the extent that other potential purchasers do not need to obtain third-party financing or are able to obtain such financing on more favorable terms, they may be in a position to be more aggressive with their acquisition proposals. As a result, in order to be competitive, our acquisition proposals may need to be aggressively priced, including at price levels that exceed what we originally determined to be achievable. Alternatively, we may determine that we cannot pursue on a cost-effective basis what would otherwise be an attractive acquisition opportunity.
 Risks Related to Our Industry
 Our industry is highly fragmented and competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively, our net sales and operating results may be reduced.
 The building products distribution industry is highly fragmented and competitive, and the barriers to entry for local competitors are relatively low. Competitive factors in our industry include pricing, availability of products, service, delivery capabilities, customer relationships, geographic coverage, and breadth of product offerings. Also, financial stability is important to suppliers and customers in choosing distributors for their products, and it affects the favorability of the terms on which we would be able to obtain our products from suppliers and sell products to our customers.
 Some of our competitors may be part of larger companies, and, therefore, may have access to greater financial and other resources than those to which we have access. We may not be able to maintain our costs at a level sufficiently low for us to compete effectively. If we are unable to compete effectively, any future net sales and net income may be reduced.

 Our industry is highly cyclical, and prolonged periods of weak demand or excess supply may reduce our net sales and/or margins, which may cause us to incur losses or reduce our net income.
 The building products distribution industry is subject to cyclical market pressures and market prices of building products historically have been volatile and cyclical. Prices of building products are determined by overall supply and demand in the market and we have limited ability to control the timing and amount of pricing changes. Demand for building products is driven mainly by factors outside of our control, such as general economic and political conditions, interest rates, governmental subsidies and incentives, availability of mortgage financing, inflation, the construction, repair and remodeling markets, industrial markets, housing supply, weather conditions, commodity prices and population growth. The supply of building products fluctuates based on available manufacturing capacity, and excess capacity in the industry can result in significant declines in market prices for those products. To the extent that prices and volumes experience a sustained or sharp decline, any future net sales and margins likely would decline as well. If we have meaningful fixed costs, a decrease in sales and margin generally would have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
 Regional or global barriers to trade or a global trade war could increase the cost of products in the building products distribution industry, which could adversely impact the competitiveness of such products and the financial results of businesses in the industry.
 The state of relationships between other countries and the United States with respect to trade policies, government relations and tariffs may impact our business. The U.S. government has and continues to make significant changes in U.S. trade policy and has taken certain actions that could negatively impact U.S. trade, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. There is concern that the imposition of tariffs by the United States could result in the adoption of tariffs or retaliatory measures by other countries, leading to a global trade war. Such tariffs or sanctions could raise the cost and reduce the supply of building materials and components. Our success in markets we may chose to enter in the future depends substantially on our ability to source local materials on terms that are favorable to us. In the event of a global trade war or regional dispute, local suppliers may choose to allocate their resources to local players in their markets and provide us with less favorable terms. Building products shortages and price increases for building products could cause distribution delays and increase our costs, which in turn could reduce our competitiveness and impact our ability to do business with certain counterparties.
 General geopolitical instability and the responses to it, such as the possibility of sanctions, trade restrictions and changes in tariffs, including tariffs imposed by the United States and China, and the possibility of additional tariffs, non-tariff barriers or other trade restrictions between the United States and other countries where we might in the future distribute or sell products, could adversely impact our business. If we fail to anticipate and manage any of these dynamics successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 Risks Related to Our Legacy Business
 Our legacy business may fail to develop new products or may incur unexpected expenses or delays.
 Although our legacy business currently has fully developed products available for sale, our legacy business may need to develop various new technologies, products and product features and remain competitive. Due to the risks inherent in developing new products and technologies — limited financing, loss of key personnel, and other factors — our legacy business may fail to develop these technologies and products or may experience lengthy and costly delays in doing so. Although the legacy business licenses some of our technologies in their current stage of development, we cannot assure that the legacy business will be able to develop new products or enhancements to our existing products in order to remain competitive.
 If the technologies and products of our legacy business contain defects or otherwise do not work as expected, we may incur significant expenses in attempting to correct these defects or in defending lawsuits over any such defects.
 Software products are not currently accurate in every instance and may never be. Furthermore, our legacy business could inadvertently release products and technologies that contain defects. In addition, third-party technology that is included in such products could contain defects. We may incur significant expenses to correct such defects. Clients who are not satisfied with such products or services could bring claims against us for substantial damages. Such claims could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and, if successful, could result in the plaintiffs being awarded significant damages.

 The software and technology industry is highly competitive. If our legacy business cannot develop and market desirable products that the public is willing to purchase, such business will not be able to compete successfully.
 Our legacy business has many potential competitors in the software industry. The ability of our legacy business to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the development, sales, and marketing of their products than are available to our legacy business. Some of our legacy business's competitors, also, offer a wider range of software products, have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases than our legacy business. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, customer desires, as well as undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer terms that are more attractive to customers and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than our legacy business. We cannot provide any assurances that our legacy business will be able to compete successfully against present or future competitors or that the competitive pressure will not force us to cease operations of our legacy business.
 If we are not able to protect our trade secrets through enforcement of our confidentiality and non-competition agreements, then our legacy business may not be able to compete effectively.
 We attempt to protect the trade secrets, including the processes, concepts, ideas and documentation associated with our technologies for our legacy business, through the use of confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements with our current employees and with other parties to whom we have divulged such trade secrets. If the employees or other parties breach our confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements or if these agreements are not sufficient to protect our technology or are found to be unenforceable, our competitors could acquire and use information that we consider to be our trade secrets and our legacy business may not be able to compete effectively.
 We may unintentionally infringe on the proprietary rights of others.
 Many lawsuits currently are being brought in the software industry alleging violation of intellectual property rights. Although we do not believe that we are infringing on any patent rights, patent holders may claim that we are doing so. Any such claim would likely be time-consuming and expensive to defend, particularly if we are unsuccessful, and could prevent us from selling the products or services of our legacy business. In addition, we may also be forced to enter into costly and burdensome royalty and licensing agreements.
 The industry of our legacy business is characterized by rapid technological change and failure to adapt its product development to these changes may cause its products to become obsolete.
 Our legacy business participates in a highly dynamic industry characterized by rapid change and uncertainty relating to new and emerging technologies and markets. Future technology or market changes may cause some of its products to become obsolete more quickly than expected.
 The trend toward consolidation in the industry of our legacy business may impede its ability to compete effectively.
 As consolidation in the software industry continues, fewer companies dominate particular markets, changing the nature of the market and potentially providing consumers with fewer choices. Also, many of these companies offer a broader range of products than our legacy business, ranging from desktop to enterprise solutions. Our legacy business may not be able to compete effectively against these competitors. The trend toward consolidation in our industry may result in increased competition in acquiring these technologies, people or products, resulting in increased acquisition costs or the inability to acquire the desired technologies, people or products.
 General Risks
 We may be subject to periodic litigation, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions, which may adversely affect our business and financial performance.
 From time to time, we are involved in lawsuits, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions, brought or threatened against us in the ordinary course of business. Our business is subject to the risk of claims involving current and former employees, affiliates, suppliers, competitors, stockholders, government regulatory agencies or others through private actions, class actions, whistleblower claims, administrative proceedings, antitrust enforcement, regulatory actions or other proceedings.

 Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, it is often difficult to accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such actions or proceedings. The outcome of litigation, particularly class action lawsuits and regulatory actions, is often difficult to assess or quantify, as plaintiffs may seek injunctive relief or recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts in these types of lawsuits, and the magnitude of the potential loss may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In addition, plaintiffs in many types of actions may seek punitive damages, civil penalties, consequential damages or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. These proceedings or actions could result in substantial cost and may require us to devote substantial resources to defend ourselves and distract our management from the operation of our business. While we maintain insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions as well as caps on amounts recoverable. We may therefore incur significant expenses defending any such suit or government charge and may be required to pay amounts or otherwise change our operations in ways that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 The price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past and may be highly volatile, with extreme price and volume fluctuations. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by holders of registrable securities, or the perception that sales will be made in the public market, could depress the market price of our common stock and result in further volatility. As a result of such volatility in the market price of our common stock, we may in the future become the subject of securities class action litigation, which could result in substantial costs and distract management's attention and resources.
 We could be affected by cyberattacks or breaches of our information systems, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 We may be subject to cybersecurity attacks and other intentional hacking. Any failure to identify and address such defects or errors or prevent a cyberattack could result in service interruptions, operational difficulties, loss of revenues or market share, liability to our customers or others, the diversion of corporate resources, harm to our reputation or increased service and maintenance costs. Addressing such issues could prove to be impossible or very costly and responding to the resulting claims or liability could similarly involve substantial cost. Also, due to recent advances in technology and well-known efforts on the part of computer hackers and cyber-terrorists to breach data security of companies, we face risks associated with potential failure to adequately protect critical corporate, customer and employee data, which, if released, could adversely impact our customer relationships, our reputation, and violate privacy laws. Recently, regulatory and enforcement focus on data protection has heightened in the United States. Failure to comply with applicable data protection regulations or other data protection standards may expose us to litigation, fines, sanctions or other penalties, which could harm our business, our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.
 A failure of our information technology infrastructure, information systems, networks or processes may materially adversely affect our business.
 The efficient operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage our sales and marketing, financial, legal and compliance functions, communications and other business processes. We also rely on third parties and virtualized infrastructure to operate our information technology systems. Despite significant testing for risk management, external and internal risks, such as malware, insecure coding, "Acts of God," data leakage and human error pose a direct threat to the stability or effectiveness of our information technology systems and operations. The failure of our information technology systems to perform as we anticipate could adversely affect our business through transaction errors, billing and invoicing errors, internal recordkeeping and reporting errors and processing inefficiencies. Any such failure could result in harm to our reputation and have an ongoing adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including after the underlying failures have been remedied. Further, the delay or failure to implement information system upgrades and new systems effectively could disrupt our business, distract management's focus and attention from our business operations, and increase our implementation and operating costs, any of which could negatively impact our operations and operating results.

 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
 Not applicable.

 Item 1C. Cybersecurity
 The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of sensitive data, including confidential and other proprietary information about our business and our employees, customers, suppliers and business partners, is important to our operations and business strategy. As a result, cybersecurity, data classification and data protection are key components of our long-term strategy.
 We regularly assess risks from cybersecurity threats, monitor our information systems for potential vulnerabilities, and test those systems pursuant to our cybersecurity policies, processes, and practices, which are integrated into our overall risk management program. To protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, we use various security tools that are designed to help identify, escalate, investigate, resolve, and recover from cybersecurity incidents in a timely manner. Our security operations team ("SOT"), which is comprised of internal security professionals and reports to the Chief Information Officer ("CIO"), has first line responsibility for our cybersecurity risk management processes as they relate to day-to-day operations. Our audit and compliance team ("ACT"), which is comprised of a team lead and the CIO, has second line responsibility and works in partnership with our executive leadership team ("ELT") and other internal teams to coordinate efforts, priorities and oversight. Our ACT assesses cybersecurity threats and risks based on probability and potential impact to key business systems and processes. Threats and risks that can cause major damage or service impact that the ACT considers high are incorporated into our overall risk management program. The ACT develops a mitigation plan for each identified high threat and risk and reports its progress with respect to mitigation of such threats and risks to the Technology Risk Management Committee, which is part of our ELT and consists of both management-level employees and members of the Board; such high-level cybersecurity threats and risks are tracked as part of our overall risk management program.
 We collaborate with third parties to assess the effectiveness of our cybersecurity incident prevention and response systems and processes as our SOT deems necessary or appropriate. These include cybersecurity assessors, consultants, and other external cybersecurity experts to assist in the identification, verification, and validation of cybersecurity threats and risks, as well as to support associated mitigation plans when necessary. Our System and Organization Controls (SOC) Type 2 audit, completed in September 2024, attests to the effectiveness of our security and risk management controls. We have also developed a third-party cybersecurity risk management process to conduct due diligence on external entities critical to our ongoing business operations, including those that perform cybersecurity services.
 We sponsor a multi-faceted security awareness program that includes regular, mandatory trainings for our personnel on data protection and malware detection, policy and process awareness, periodic phishing simulations and other kinds of preparedness testing including disaster recovery exercises.
 We maintain a cross-functional cybersecurity incident response plan with defined roles, responsibilities and reporting protocols. This plan, which we evaluate and test on a regular basis, focuses on responding to and recovering from any significant cybersecurity incident as well as mitigating any impact from such incidents on our business. Generally, when a cybersecurity incident or suspected cybersecurity incident is identified, the SOT would escalate the issue to the ACT for initial analysis and guidance. In the event of a significant cybersecurity incident, the ELT would typically be tasked with preparing an initial response. The ELT, with support from the ACT, would be responsible for determining whether a particular cybersecurity incident (alone or in combination with other factors) triggers any reporting or notification responsibilities under applicable law or regulation or pursuant to any contractual obligation.
 The ACT, in consultation with the ELT and other members of senior management, updates its strategy at least annually to account for changes in our business strategy, legal and regulatory developments across our geographic footprint and further developments in the cybersecurity threat landscape. In addition, we periodically engage a third-party provider to conduct an external assessment of our cybersecurity program. The results of this assessment, which are reported to the Board, assist us in determining whether any further changes to our existing policies and practices are warranted.
 As indicated above, we engage third-party providers to assist us with our cybersecurity risk management and strategy. Some of these providers provide us with ongoing assistance (such as threat monitoring, mitigation strategies, updates on emerging trends and developments and policy guidance) while we engage others to provide targeted assistance (such as security and forensic expertise) as needed. Prior to exchanging any sensitive data or integrating with any key third-party provider, we assess their cybersecurity fitness against our risk posture and request changes as we deem necessary.

 As of December 31, 2024, we have not identified any risks from cybersecurity threats (including any previous cybersecurity incidents) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company, including our business strategy, our results of operations or our financial condition. For a discussion of risks from cybersecurity threats that could be reasonably likely to materially affect us, please see our Risk Factors discussion under the headings "General Risks – We could be affected by cyberattacks or beaches of our information systems, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business" and "General Risks – A failure of our information technology infrastructure, information systems, networks or processes may materially adversely affect our business" in this Annual Report.

 Item 6. Reserved

 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 Our 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 consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 Overview
 QXO, Inc. ("QXO", "we", or the "Company") was formerly known as SilverSun Technologies, Inc. ("SilverSun"). On June 6, 2024, we changed the Company's name from SilverSun to QXO and changed its ticker symbol on Nasdaq from SSNT to QXO, upon completing a $1.0 billion cash investment in SilverSun by Jacobs Private Equity II, LLC ("JPE") and certain minority co-investors. Refer to Note 3 - Equity of Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for further details about the investment and related changes to our capital structure. On January 17, 2025, the Company transferred the listing of its common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "common stock"), from Nasdaq to the NYSE. The Company's listing and trading of the common stock on Nasdaq ended at market close on January 16, 2025. The Company's common stock began trading on the NYSE on January 17, 2025.
 QXO, Inc. is a technology solutions and professional services company that helps businesses manage and monetize their enterprise assets. We do this through our operations, which provide critical software applications, consulting and other professional services, including specialized programming, training and technical support. Our customers are primarily small and mid-sized companies in the manufacturing, distribution and service industries.
 Our strategy is to create a tech-forward leader in the $800 billion building products distribution industry with the goal of generating outsized stockholder value through accretive acquisitions and organic growth, including greenfield openings and operational transformation of acquired businesses. We are executing our strategy toward a target of tens of billions of dollars of annual revenue in the next decade.

 Revenue, net
 Our consolidated net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $2.4 million or 4.3% compared with the same period in the prior year. Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased across our lines of business as we grew our customer base through strategic acquisitions and continued renewals of our subscription-based services. Specifically, software product revenue increased as we expanded our Sage Intacct and Acumatica product lines, and service revenue increased as we expanded our hosting application services and consulting practices.
 Cost of revenue
 Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $1.0 million or 3.2% associated with the increase in revenue, compared with the same period in the prior year. Margin increased to 40.3%, compared with 39.6% for the same period in the prior year, as we expanded our product offerings in newly acquired lines of business to grow our customer base.
 Operating expenses
 Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $70.8 million or 320.6%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year increases in operating expenses are primarily due to: i) salary and expense and share-based compensation associated with the new senior management team put in place to execute our expansive growth plan, ii) the severance payment contemplated in the Investment Agreement for Mark Meller and, iii) certain transaction costs associated with the private placements and our strategic plan.
 Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $0.2 million or 19.4%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year increases are attributed to higher amortization expense associated with the acquisition of JCS in 2023.

 Interest income (expense), net
 Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $121.9 million, compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase is attributed to the interest earned on our cash position due to the cash infusion from the Equity Investment (as defined below) and the private placements that closed in July 2024.

 Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 Adjusted EBITDA
 To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed here and elsewhere in this Annual Report Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation; income tax (benefit) provision; interest (income) expense; transaction costs; transformation costs; severance costs and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operations. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating QXO's ongoing performance.
 We believe that Adjusted EBITDA 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.
 Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, net income (loss), and our other GAAP results.
 The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

 The year-over-year decline for the year ended December 31, 2024 Adjusted EBITDA was due to higher employee-related costs, reflecting the introduction of a new senior management team to execute the Company's expansive growth plan.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 On June 6, 2024, we closed the Equity Investment under the Investment Agreement that we entered into on April 14, 2024 among the Company, JPE and certain minority investors. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Convertible Preferred Stock"), which were initially convertible into an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.566 per share, and we issued and sold warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock (the "Warrants"). Upon closing, the Equity Investment generated gross proceeds of $1.0 billion, before deducting agent fees and offering expenses. For more information on the Investment Agreement, refer to Note 3 - Equity of Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report.

 On June 13, 2024, we entered into purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 340,932,212 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.14 per share, and pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase 42,000,000 shares of our 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 issuance and sale of these securities was consummated on July 19, 2024, and generated gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 billion before deducting agent fees and offering expenses.
 On July 22, 2024, we entered into additional purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 67,833,699 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.14 per share. The closing of the issuance and sale of these securities was consummated on July 25, 2024, and generated gross proceeds of approximately $620 million, before deducting agent fees and offering expenses.
 Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, we declared a $17.4 million special cash dividend to its stockholders of record as of the day before the closing of the Equity Investment. The dividend was paid from proceeds received from the Equity Investment. Under the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, dividends are paid quarterly when, as and if declared by the Board, at the rate per annum of 9% per share. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid $32.3 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the close of the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid an additional $22.5 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock.
 The Company's cash balance was $5.1 billion as of December 31, 2024 and consisted primarily of cash on deposit with banks and investments in money market funds. We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements in light of our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. We believe that our existing liquidity and sources of capital are sufficient to support our operations over the next 12 months.
 Cash provided by operating activities
 Cash provided by operating activities increased by $84.3 million, compared with the prior year. The year-over-year increase is attributed to interest income earned in the period offset by higher personnel costs associated with the execution of the Company's strategy as contemplated in the Investment Agreement.
 Cash used in investing activities
 Cash used in investing activities decreased by $298,000, compared with the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease relates to assets purchased from JCS Computer Resource Corporation ("JCS") during 2023 for $278,500 that did not exist during 2024. Investment in capital expenditures is mainly associated with IT equipment to support the business.
 Cash provided by (used in) financing activities
 Cash provided by financing activities was $5.0 billion, compared with $2.1 million of cash used in financing activities in the prior year. The year-over-year increase is attributed to the Equity Investment of June 6, 2024 and the private placements in July 2024. The Company paid the common stock dividend, the preferred stock dividend, and paid its long-term debt obligations with proceeds from these investments.

 Critical Accounting Estimates
 We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.
 We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the

 current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.
 For a detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and related judgments, see Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report.

 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 During for the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not engage in any material off-balance sheet activities or have any relationships or arrangements with unconsolidated entities established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities, nor do we have any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
 We have operations only within the United States and therefore do not have 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. We have exposure to changes in interest rates due to our significant cash balance, which totaled $5.1 billion at December 31, 2024. Assuming an annual average cash balance of $5.1 billion, a hypothetical 1% change in the interest rate would impact our net interest income by $51 million.

 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of QXO, Inc.
 Opinion on the Financial Statements
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of QXO, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, based on our audits, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 Basis for Opinion
 These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 Critical Audit Matters
 Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

 QXO INC.
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 QXO, Inc. ("QXO", "we", "our", or the "Company") was formerly known as SilverSun Technologies, Inc. ("SilverSun"). On June 6, 2024, we changed the Company's name from SilverSun to QXO and changed its ticker symbol on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Nasdaq") from SSNT to QXO, upon completing a $ 1.0 billion cash investment in SilverSun by Jacobs Private Equity II, LLC ("JPE") and certain minority co-investors. Refer to Note 3 - Equity for further details about the investment and related to changes to our capital structure. On January 17, 2025, the Company transferred the listing of its common stock, par value $ 0.00001 per share (the "common stock"), from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). The Company's listing and trading of the common stock on Nasdaq ended at market close on January 16, 2025. The Company's common stock began trading on the NYSE on January 17, 2025.
 QXO is a technology solutions and professional services company that helps businesses manage and monetize their enterprise assets. We do this through our legacy operations, which provide critical software applications, consulting and other professional services, including specialized programming, training, and technical support. Our customers are primarily small and mid-size companies in the manufacturing, distribution and services industries.
 Our strategy is to build QXO into a tech-forward leader in the $800 billion building products distribution industry with the goal of generating outsized stockholder value through accretive acquisitions and organic growth, including greenfield openings and operational transformation of acquired businesses. We are executing our strategy toward a target of tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue in the next decade.

 NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
 Reclassifications
 The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation in the consolidated balance sheets related to unbilled services and deferred charges which are now presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets. Additionally, the Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation in the consolidated statements of operations related to selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, and other expense which is now presented within selling, general, and administrative expenses. As further discussed in Note 3 – Equity, all per share amounts and common share amounts have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below).
 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
 The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances across a diversified portfolio of global financial institutions that exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Amounts included in restricted cash represent those required to be set aside by a contractual agreement as collateral for the Company's credit card program. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents:

 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
 Accounts receivable consist primarily of invoices for maintenance and professional services. Full payment for software ordered by customers is primarily due in advance of ordering from the software supplier. Payments for maintenance and support plan renewals are due before the beginning of the maintenance period. Terms under our professional service agreements are generally 50% due in advance and the balance on completion of the services.
 The Company maintains an allowance for bad debt estimated by considering a number of factors, including the length of time the amounts are past due, the Company's previous loss history and the customer's current ability to pay its obligations. Accounts are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense when received. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326-20-30-2, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, requiring a reporting entity to use a pooled approach to estimate expected credit losses for financial assets with similar risk characteristics. If a financial asset does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets held by the reporting entity, the allowance for credit losses should be determined on an individual basis. Similar risk characteristics for trade receivables may include customer credit rating, trade receivable aging category (e.g., 30-90 days past due), industry, geographical location of the customer, product line, and other factors that may influence the likelihood of the customer not being able to pay for the goods or services. The Company utilizes this individual approach for its trade receivables and unbilled services as each customer does not share similar risks.
 Trade receivables and unbilled services with customers are financial assets analyzed by the Company under the expected credit loss model. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables are grouped based on shared risk characteristics (i.e., the relevant industry sector and customer's geographical location) and days past due (i.e., delinquency status), while considering the following, if appropriate:
 • Customers in the same geographical location share similar risk characteristics associated with the macroeconomic environment of their region.
 • The expected credit loss rate is likely to increase as receivables move to older aging buckets. The Company used the following aging categories to estimate the risk of delinquency status: (i) 0 days past due; (ii) 1-30 days past due; (iii) 31-60 days past due; (iv) 61-90 days past due; and (v) over 90 days past due.

 Leases
 The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company leases office space and equipment. The Company concludes on whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination as to whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on an assessment as to whether a contract conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes these lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 The Company has assessed its contracts and concluded that its leases consist of finance and operating leases. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
 ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company determines an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a significant judgment that is based on an analysis of the Company's credit rating, country risk, treasury and corporate bond yields, as well as comparison to the Company's borrowing rate on its most recent loan. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
 The Company finances purchases of hardware and computer equipment through finance lease agreements. Finance lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.
 Goodwill
 Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. The Company completed its impairment analysis as of December 31, 2024. No impairment losses were identified or recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 Definite Lived Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets
 Purchased intangible assets are recorded at fair value using an independent valuation at the date of acquisition and are amortized over the useful lives of the asset using the straight-line amortization method.

 The Company assesses potential impairment of its intangible assets and other long-lived assets when there is evidence that recent events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of an asset's carrying value unlikely. Factors the Company considers important, which may cause impairment include, among others, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired asset, negative industry or economic trends, and significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results. No impairment losses were identified and recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 Financial Instruments
 Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
 Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
 Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
 The Company's current financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities.

 Revenue Recognition
 The Company has elected the significant financing component practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In determining the transaction price, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
 The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:
 • Identify the contract with a customer;
 • Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
 • Determine the transaction price;
 • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and
 • Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation
 Software product revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and the Company's performance obligation is fulfilled.
 Service revenue is recognized when the professional consulting, maintenance or other ancillary services are provided to the customer. Most of our service revenue is based on time arrangements which require the client to pay based on the number of hours worked at agreed-upon rates. The Company recognizes revenues for these arrangements based on hours incurred and contracted rates utilizing a right-to-invoice practical expedient because we have a right to consideration for services completed to date. For all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration for less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC 606 and, therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period.
 With respect to professional, maintenance, and ancillary services revenue that are included in deferred revenue, these revenues are earned and recognized over the contractual or stated period, which generally ranges three to twelve months. Deferred revenue also includes deposits for future consulting, which are recognized when earned and billed to customer.
 Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognized on a gross basis when the Company primarily acts as the principal in these transactions. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognized on a net basis when the Company primarily acts as an agent in a transaction.
 Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as revenue, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of revenues.
 Share-Based Compensation
 The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the equity award's grant date fair value. For grants of restricted stock units ("RSUs") subject to service-based vesting conditions, the fair value is established based on the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. For grants of performance-based restricted stock units ("pRSUs") subject to market-based vesting conditions, the fair value is established using a Monte Carlo simulation lattice model. The determination of the fair value of share-based awards is affected by the Company's stock price and a number of assumptions, including volatility, performance period, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The grant date fair value of each RSU is amortized over the requisite service period.
 Advertising and Marketing
 Advertising and marketing expenses consist of advertising and payroll related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, business development and selling activities. These costs are expensed as incurred.

 Income Taxes
 The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that its deferred income tax assets will be realized. To the extent that the Company believes any amounts are not more likely than not to be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred income tax assets.
 The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense.
 During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 Deferred Revenue
 Deferred revenue consists of maintenance on proprietary products (contract liabilities), customer telephone support services (contract liabilities) and deposits for future consulting services that will be earned as such services are performed over the contractual or stated period, which generally ranges from three to twelve months.

 NOTE 3 – EQUITY
 Investment Agreement
 On April 14, 2024, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement") among the Company, JPE and the other investors party thereto (collectively, the "Investors"), providing for, among other things, an aggregate investment by the Investors of $ 1.0 billion in cash in the Company. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the "Convertible Preferred Stock"), which were initially convertible into an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $ 4.566 per share and issued and sold warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock (the "Warrants"). Additionally, we amended the Company's certificate of incorporation to, among other things, effect an 8:1 reverse stock split with respect to the Company's common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Investment Agreement and related transactions closed on June 6, 2024 (the "Equity Investment") and generated gross proceeds of approximately $ 1.0 billion before deducting fees and offering expenses.
 Following the closing of the Equity Investment, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") was reconstituted such that: i) the number of seats on the Board was designated by JPE, ii) each of the directors (including Mr. Jacobs) was designated by JPE, iii) each standing committee of the Board was reconstituted in a manner designated by JPE, and iv) Mr. Jacobs was appointed as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock
 On June 6, 2024, under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $ 1.0 thousand per share, for an aggregate initial liquidation preference of $ 1 billion. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, in whole or in part and from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof into a number of shares of common stock equal to the then-applicable liquidation preference divided by the conversion price, which initially is $ 4.566 per share of common stock (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are initially convertible into an aggregate of 219,010,074 shares of common stock (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split). The Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable or subject to any required offer to purchase.
 The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, senior to the Company's common stock. Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of the Company's common stock on an "as-converted" basis on all matters, except as otherwise required by law. In addition, the approval of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, will be required for certain matters set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Convertible Preferred Stock.

 Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock are payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the Board at the rate per annum of 9 % per share on the then-applicable liquidation preference (subject to certain exceptions in the event that the Company pays dividends on shares of its common stock). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid $ 32.3 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the close of the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid an additional $ 22.5 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock.
 Warrants
 The aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to the Warrants is 219,010,074 shares. The Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time until June 6, 2034. The Warrants have an exercise price of $ 4.566 per share of common stock with respect to 50 % of the Warrants, $ 6.849 per share of common stock with respect to 25 % of the Warrants, and $ 13.698 per share of common stock with respect to the remaining 25 % of the Warrants.
 Each Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the issuance date and on or before the expiration date at the election of the holder (in such holder's sole discretion) by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the holder will be entitled to receive a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the quotient of the product of the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) of a share of the Company's common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the holder elects to exercise its Warrant, less the adjusted exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant, divided by the aforementioned Closing Sale Price of a share of the Company's common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the holder elects to exercise its Warrant.
 Equity Investment Dividend
 Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company declared a $ 17.4 million special cash dividend to its stockholders of record as of the day before the closing of the Equity Investment. The dividend was paid on June 12, 2024 from proceeds received by the Company from the Equity Investment.
 Reverse Stock Split
 On June 6, 2024, as contemplated by the Investment Agreement, the Company effected an 8:1 Reverse Stock Split, which reduced the Company's issued and outstanding share count of common stock from 5,315,581 to 664,284 shares (par value $ 0.00001 per share). The Company has recast all share and per-share data and amounts to show the effects of the Reverse Stock Split.
 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 340,932,212 shares of our common stock at a price of $ 9.14 per share, and pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase 42,000,000 shares of our 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 issuance and sale of these securities was consummated on July 19, 2024, and generated gross proceeds of approximately $ 3.5 billion before deducting agent fees and offering expenses.
 On July 22, 2024, we entered into additional purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 67,833,699 shares of our common stock at a price of $ 9.14 per share. The closing of the issuance and sale of these securities was consummated on July 25, 2024, and generated gross proceeds of approximately $ 620 million, before deducting agent fees and offering expenses.

 NOTE 4 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
 The Company's Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as a participating security. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings (loss) per share for common shares and participating securities. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation include pre-funded warrants as the pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration. Both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share are adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the Reverse Stock Split as discussed in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.

 NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 Legal Matters
 Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
 The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable, and does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which it is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 NOTE 9 – ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 On November 13, 2023, SWK Technologies, Inc. acquired the customer list and prepaid time from clients of JCS Computer Resource Corporation ("JCS") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement for cash of $ 278,500 and a promissory note in the amount of $ 1.0 million (the "JCS Note") for a total consideration of $ 1.3 million. The customer list was recognized as an intangible asset and will be amortized over its estimated useful life. The JCS Note balance was paid in full on July 24, 2024.

 NOTE 10 – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
 At the special meeting of the Company's stockholders on May 30, 2024, the stockholders approved the QXO, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"). The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options ("ISOs"), nonqualified stock options ("NSOs"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted share awards, RSUs, performance awards, cash incentive awards, deferred share units and other equity-based and equity-related awards, as well as cash-based awards.
 Subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization, the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2024 Plan shall be equal to 30,000,000 (the "Plan Share Limit"), of which 30,000,000 shares of common stock may be delivered pursuant to ISOs granted under the 2024 Plan (such amount,

 the "Plan ISO Limit"). The Company may act prior to the first day of any calendar year to provide that there shall be no increase in the Plan Share Limit for such calendar year or that the increase in the Plan Share Limit for such calendar year shall be a lesser number of shares than would otherwise occur.
 The Omnibus Plan provides that the Plan Share Limit automatically increase on January 2 of each calendar year commencing on January 1, 2025 and ending on January 1, 2034, in an amount equal to three percent ( 3 %) of the sum of: i) the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31 of the preceding calendar year, and ii) the number of shares of common stock into which the Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year are convertible. The Compensation and Talent Committee took no action to alter the automatic increase effective January 1, 2025 in the Plan Share Limit under the Omnibus Plan. The automatic renewal increased the share pool availability from 8.1 million shares at December 31, 2024 to 27.0 million shares available under the Plan for fiscal 2025.

 pRSUs
 The Company granted pRSUs which include a service-based vesting condition and a market condition for exercisability. The service condition is subject to the employee's continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. The vesting of certain pRSUs is also subject to achievement of performance goals relating to the Company's TSR compared to the TSR ranking of each company that is in the S&P 500 index. The performance goals for a portion of the pRSUs will be measured over a cumulative performance period ending on December 31, 2028, and the performance goals for the remainder of the pRSUs will be measured based on designated performance periods that occur within such cumulative period.

 As of December 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested pRSUs was $ 148.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.52 years.
 The fair value of the RSUs with a market condition was determined on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo model to simulate total stockholder return for the Company and peer companies with the following assumptions:

 Performance Period
 4.42 years

 Weighted-average risk-free interest rate
 4.03
 %

 Weighted-average expected volatility
 %

 Weighted-average dividend yield

 The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with a term equal to the expected term of the pRSU in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the stock of the Company's peer industry group.
 Share-Based Compensation Expense
 Share-based compensation expense is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense as follows:

 The RSUs and pRSUs may vest in whole or in part before the applicable vesting date if the grantee's employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the grantee with good reason (as defined in the grant agreement), upon death or disability of the grantee or in the event of a change in control of the Company. Upon vesting, the RSUs and pRSUs result in the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock after required tax withholdings. The holders of the RSUs and pRSUs do not have the rights of a stockholder and do not have voting rights until shares are issued and delivered in settlement of the awards.

 The company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance of its deferred tax assets, and to the extent it is determined that an adjustment is needed, such adjustment will be recorded in the period that the determination is made.
 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 3.4 million and $ 5.8 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various amounts beginning in the year ending December 31, 2026, if not utilized. Utilization of the net operating losses remaining as of December 31, 2024 is subject to an annual limitation provided for in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and any annual limitation could result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Approximately $ 3.4 million of federal net operating losses are currently limited from use under such provisions the annual limitation could result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. The Company has a valuation allowance recorded for the deferred tax asset related to the net operating losses that are more-likely-than-not to expire unutilized.
 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 0 and $ 1.7 million, respectively.

 NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 Upon the closing of the Equity Investment, pursuant to the execution of the Investment Agreement, the Company reimbursed JPE for certain transactional, market research and employee costs related to establishing the foundation for QXO to move forward. These costs, as defined in the Investment Agreement, equated to a total reimbursement of $ 15.3 million, which was treated as a reduction of the proceeds received from the Equity Investment.
 In connection with the Equity Investment, Mark Meller was terminated as CEO of SilverSun Technologies, Inc. and entered into a new employment agreement to serve as President of SWK Technologies, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QXO. Mr. Meller received a lump-sum payment of $ 2.8 million in connection with this agreement.
 In connection with the private placement that closed on July 25, 2024, certain directors and officers of the Company purchased an aggregate of 262,585 shares of common stock for $ 2.4 million.

 NOTE 13 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
 Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.
 The Company provides technology solutions to help customers manage their enterprise assets. Through its legacy operations, the Company provides a package of solutions to assist customers in their digital transformations. All of the Company's long-lived assets held in the United States and all the Company's revenues are derived from the United States. Because of the nature of the Company's technology solutions being highly integrated to support each customer, the CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating performance. As such, the Company has determined it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment.
 The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated net income, the measure consistent with U.S. GAAP, to measure segment profit or loss, allocate resources and assess performance. Further, the CODM reviews significant expenses at the consolidated level to manage the Company's operations. Other segment items included in consolidated net income are depreciation and amortization, interest income, and the provision for income taxes, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
 The following table presents information regarding the components of revenue, significant segment expenses and consolidated net income representative of the significant categories regularly provided to the CODM when managing the Company's one operating segment:

 The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

 This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company's management's report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only the Company's management's report on internal control over financial reporting in this Annual Report.
 (c)Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our year ended December 31, 2024, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
