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 or 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:

•an inability to obtain the products we distribute resulting in lost revenues and reduced margins and damaging relationships with customers;

•a change in supplier pricing and demand adversely affecting our income and gross margins;

•a change in vendor rebates adversely affecting our income and gross margins;

PART I

Item 1. Business

Company

QXO, Inc. (“QXO”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) was created to build a tech-forward leader in the approximately $800 billion building products distribution sector.

The Company was formerly known as SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (“SilverSun”). On June 6, 2024, we changed the Company’s name from SilverSun to QXO. Prior to the Beacon Acquisition (as defined below), QXO was primarily a technology solutions and professional services company, providing critical software applications, consulting and other professional services, including specialized programming, training and technical support to small and mid-size companies in the manufacturing, distribution and services industries.

On April 29, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (“Beacon”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 20, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among QXO, Beacon, and Queen MergerCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of QXO (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Beacon (the “Beacon Acquisition”), with Beacon surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of QXO and being renamed QXO Building Products, Inc. (“QXO Building Products”). QXO Building Products has served the building industry for over 95 years and operates approximately 600 branches throughout all 50 states in the U.S. and seven provinces in Canada. QXO Building Products offers an extensive range of high-quality professional grade exterior products and serves over 110,000 residential and non-residential customers. QXO Building Products’ scale and leading position in the roofing and complementary building products distribution market made it the ideal initial acquisition for QXO’s value creation playbook.

Our Industry

Building Products Distribution

Building products distribution is a large industry, with approximately $800 billion in annual revenue in 2024, split roughly equally between North America and Western Europe. The industry is characterized by a mix of national, multi-regional and local distributors, with a fragmented customer base. Building products distribution benefits from powerful growth tailwinds. In the United States (the “U.S.”), we believe the supply of homes is approximately four million units short of demand. There are also strong tailwinds for residential repair and re-roofing (“R&R”) activity. The average age of an existing single-family home in the U.S. is over 40 years, which creates ongoing demand for repairs. In the non-residential space, the average structure is even older at over 50 years, requiring greater levels of ongoing maintenance and refurbishment. Further, there is good visibility into infrastructure spending across North America and Europe. In North America alone, an additional $2 trillion of spending is expected to be required over the next two decades to keep the infrastructure safe.

Building products distribution is an industry where scale offers key advantages. Larger distributors have greater purchasing power, which allows them to pass through higher cost savings to customers. Larger distributors also have the resources to invest in differentiating technology. These factors drive a virtuous cycle of market share gains and fixed cost leverage. At the same time, the building products distribution industry is highly fragmented, with over 7,000 distributors in North America and approximately 13,000 in Europe. This fragmentation presents an attractive opportunity for consolidation in the industry.

North American Roofing and Complementary Products

Specialty distributors of roofing and complementary building products serve the critical role of facilitating supply chain relationships between a small number of manufacturers and thousands of local, regional and national contractors. The distributor is a value-added partner who can advise contractors on job-specific residential or commercial product bundles and provide last-mile delivery and logistics services. Distributors may also extend trade credit and use digital platforms to aid customers in optimizing their businesses.

We estimate the roofing distribution market and related complementary products in the U.S. and Canada to be an approximately $65 billion market. The core roofing market across residential and commercial roofing represents approximately $37 billion of annual sales, with a 3% to 5% long-term annual market growth outlook, according to a third-party industry report. Additionally, we believe the distribution market for complementary building products, including siding, waterproofing, plywood / oriented strand board (“OSB”) and windows and doors, represents approximately $28 billion in annual sales, according to our internal estimates. We believe that the market for these complementary products will grow faster than the rest of the roofing products industry at a rate of 4% to 6% per annum.

Table of Contents

Favorable Long-Term Industry Fundamentals

The roofing distribution industry benefits from several favorable long-term sector fundamentals, most notably a significant concentration in R&R spend, which constitutes approximately 80% of industry revenue. Of the revenue that is derived from R&R spend, approximately 94% is considered non-discretionary and driven by leaks, age, weather damage and deterioration. Growth in the weather event-driven portion of demand has increased as severe weather events quadrupled in frequency and doubled in economic impact over the last 20 years.

The remaining 20% of industry revenue is from new construction activity which is expected to benefit from the estimated domestic housing shortage of four million units. This equates to an approximately eight-year backlog at current build rates. Other secular trends supporting long-term fundamentals include increasing regulatory and insurance requirements, which drive the need for waterproofing and preventative restoration.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to become the tech-enabled leader in the $800 billion building products distribution industry and generate outsized value for shareholders. We are executing our strategy toward a target of $50 billion in annual revenues within the next decade through accretive acquisitions and organic growth, including greenfield openings, and operational transformation of acquired businesses. We plan to enhance organizational design, optimize the supply chain and drive commercial excellence, deploying technology across these initiatives.

We intend to achieve this by leveraging our clearly-defined strategies:

•Deploy Foundational Actions to Drive Improvements in QXO Building Products’ Existing Operations

We will apply our proven strategy to drive revenue, margin and free cash flow. We will lead with technology, building and buying world-class systems that enhance visibility across the organization, its suppliers and its customers in order to deliver attractive and immediate return on investment. We will prioritize customer satisfaction, optimizing our go-to-market strategy based on end-to-end digital customer, focusing on delivering superior service with on-time / in-full fulfillment. We will seek to create a culture of accountability throughout our organization.

•Enhance Market Share Growth through Commercial Excellence Initiatives and Greenfield Developments

We will deploy a number of key initiatives to improve our revenue growth, including: optimizing assortment; improving inventory planning to drive pinpoint coverage by item, customer segment, and location; optimizing pricing; and driving salesforce excellence, including segmenting salesforce coverage based on customer needs and aligning incentives with the most critical key performance indicators. We will aim to accelerate growth in product lines complementary to roofing (for example, waterproofing, insulation and siding); expand our private label offerings; and increase our penetration of digital sales. We will deploy technology-driven solutions to drive revenue, including AI-led solutions to enhance lead generation, AI-led data analysis to better understand price elasticity, and AI-driven predictive analytics to improve inventory forecast accuracy by SKU.

•Deliver Margin Expansion via Organizational Redesign, Supply Chain Initiatives and Inventory Planning

We will seek to improve customer service and enhance our cost structure to drive increased agility by reassessing organizational design, reducing management layers and standardizing branch- and warehouse-level operating models.

We intend to increase G&A cost efficiency by deploying a zero-based budgeting approach to cost centers including travel and entertainment, IT maintenance and personnel services, and outsourcing select back-office functions where appropriate. We will deploy our considerable experience in logistics to optimize our network, by determining the optimal number, size and location of facilities to remove overlap and drive branch-level returns; measuring routes and service against miles driven and fleet utilization; addressing warehouse operational excellence through standardized shipping and handling processes; and increasing the use of cutting edge route optimization software to enhance fleet utilization and the customer delivery experience. We intend to grow revenue faster than industry rates.

•Pursue Accretive M&A Using Our Proven Strategy and Diversify Our Platform into High-Growth Adjacencies within Building Product Distribution

We will look to complete strategic, transformative acquisitions to deliver above-market growth for QXO in the building products distribution industry. Within roofing, we believe there is a compelling opportunity to continue the consolidation effort that QXO Building Products has historically pursued. We believe that approximately 30% of the roofing supply industry remains fragmented, held by over 500 dealers that remain locally competitive. We see extensive M&A opportunities in complementary categories, including insulation, siding and waterproofing, among others. Outside of roofing, we expect to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the remainder of the approximately $800 billion building products distribution industry across North America and Western Europe. Consistent with this strategy, we are actively involved in processes for potential acquisitions.

Recent Developments

In January 2026, the Company entered into an investment agreement with AP Quince Holdings, L.P., a fund managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., and the other investors party thereto, pursuant to which such investors committed until July 15, 2026 (the “Initial Commitment Period”) to purchase up to 300,000 shares of a new series of Series C Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 billion to fund one or more Qualifying Acquisitions (as defined below). The Initial Commitment Period will be extended with respect to the commitment for a Qualifying Acquisition up to an additional 12 months if a definitive acquisition agreement for such Qualifying Acquisition is executed before the expiration of the Initial Commitment Period.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the investment to fund all or a portion of the consideration for one or more acquisitions of assets, equity or businesses (or portions thereof) for a purchase price in excess of $1.5 billion or as otherwise determined by the Company (each, a “Qualifying Acquisition”) and related fees and expenses. Any issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock would close at or around the closing of a Qualifying Acquisition.

Additionally, in January 2026, the Company sold 31.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $23.80 per share. The closing of the equity offering was completed on January 20, 2026 and the Company raised $749.4 million in net proceeds from the equity offering, after deducting offering costs of $3.8 million. The Company also granted the underwriters in the public offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 4.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $23.80 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions. The option to purchase additional shares expired unexercised at the end of the 30-day period.

On February 10, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Kodiak Building Partners from Court Square Capital Partners for approximately $2.25 billion (the “Kodiak Acquisition”). The purchase price comprises $2.0 billion of cash and 13.2 million of the Company’s common shares (the “Consideration Shares”), with the Company retaining the right to repurchase these shares at $40 per share. The transaction is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Our Customers

Our customer base is composed of professional contractors, home builders, building owners, lumberyards, and retailers across the U.S. and Canada who depend on reliable local access to building products for residential and non-residential projects. Our customers vary in size, ranging from relatively small contractors to large contractors and builders that operate on a national scale. For the year ended December 31, 2025, no single customer accounted for more than 1% of our net sales.

Products and Services

Our product lines are designed to meet the requirements of our residential, non-residential and complementary building products customers. We carry one of the most extensive arrays of high-quality branded products in the industry, including our private label brand, TRI-BUILT®. Our TRI-BUILT® products offer a high-quality and superior-value alternative for our customers while delivering higher margins and brand exclusivity in the marketplace. We fulfill the vast majority of our warehouse orders with inventory on hand because of the breadth and depth of the inventories at our branches.

In the residential market, asphalt shingles comprise the largest share of the products we sell. In the non-residential market, single-ply membranes, insulation, and accessories comprise the largest share of our product offerings. In the area of complementary building products, waterproofing, siding, plywood / OSB, and windows and doors comprise the largest share of the products in our portfolio.

Beyond product delivery, we provide superior value-added services to our customers through our knowledgeable sales force that possesses an in-depth understanding of roofing and the building products we provide. Our sales force provides guidance to our customers throughout the lifecycles of their projects, including training and technical support.

Trademarks and Intellectual Property

Our rights in our intellectual property, including trademarks, patents, trade secrets, copyrights and domain names, as well as contractual provisions and restrictions on use of our intellectual property, are important to our business. We own a number of trademark registrations and applications in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

Competition

Our competition is primarily composed of national, regional and local specialty distributors and big box retailers. Among distributors, we compete against a small number of large distributors and many small, privately-owned distributors. Although we are the largest publicly-traded distributor of roofing, waterproofing and complementary building products in North America, the industry remains highly fragmented and competitive. The principal competitive factors in our business include, but are not limited to, the availability of materials and supplies; technical product knowledge and advisory expertise; delivery and other services including digital capabilities; pricing of products; and the availability of credit and capital. We believe we compete favorably with our competitors on the basis of these factors.

Table of Contents

Supply Chain

We are a key distributor for our suppliers due to our industry expertise, scale, track record of growth, financial strength, and the substantial volume of products that we distribute. We maintain strong relationships with numerous manufacturers of roofing materials, complementary building products, and exterior waterproofing products in order to reduce dependence on any single company, maintain purchasing leverage, and ensure breadth of product availability in our local markets. These strong and diverse relationships are particularly important as the building materials industry has experienced constrained supply chain dynamics both domestically and internationally in recent years. Our value proposition to our suppliers includes serving as a vital way to manage channel inventory and providing last mile, just-in-time delivery through our extensive logistics network and large fleet of rolling stock. Our largest suppliers include predominantly domestic companies such as Owens Corning, GAF, Carlisle Construction Materials, CertainTeed Roofing and Siding, IKO Manufacturing, TAMKO Building Products, Johns Manville, James Hardie Building Products, Dow, Sika USA, and many more high-quality suppliers.

We manage the procurement of products through our national headquarters, regional offices, and local branches, allowing us to take advantage of both scale and local market conditions to purchase products more economically than most of our competitors. Product is shipped by the manufacturers primarily to our branches, as well as directly to our customers.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2025, we had 7,794 active employees. Our future success depends in significant part upon the continued services of our key sales, operations, technical, and senior management personnel and our ability to attract and retain highly qualified sales, operations, technical and managerial personnel. We have 320 employees that are represented by labor unions and there are no material outstanding labor disputes.

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, valuable work, have opportunities for growth and development and focus on executing their jobs with the utmost integrity and honesty. The safety of our team members and customers is our highest priority. In addition, we create working environments where everyone is safe from bullying, harassment, and discrimination.

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 meaningful contributions and fulfill their potential. We emphasize our core values of leading with safety, winning customer loyalty, delivering results, bringing positivity to everything we do, doing the right thing, and never stop building with our employees to instill our culture and create an environment of growth and shared success.

Government Regulations

We are subject to regulation by various federal, state, provincial, and local agencies. These agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transportation, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department of Labor, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We believe we comply, in all material respects, with applicable statutes and regulations affecting environmental issues and our employment, workplace health, and workplace safety practices, and compliance with such statutes and regulations has no material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.

Seasonality

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

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 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. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to historical results, risks and impacts to the business are with respect to Beacon and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Beacon Acquisition.

Risks Related to Product Supply and Vendor Relations

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

We distribute roofing materials and other complementary building products, such as siding and waterproofing, that are manufactured by a number of major suppliers. Disruptions in our sources of supply may occur as a result of various reasons, including unanticipated demand, production or delivery difficulties, the loss of key supplier arrangements, or broad disruptive events (whether globally, in the U.S., or abroad), such as wars, terrorist actions, cybersecurity attacks or other technological disruptions with respect to manufacturers or the material vendors we rely on, trade disputes, labor disputes, changes in regulation, macroeconomic events, government shutdowns, natural disasters, including those that may be linked to climate change, and/or a pandemic.

When shortages occur, building material suppliers often allocate products among distributors, and sourcing materials from a limited number of suppliers can increase our risk. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we had three suppliers that each contributed 10% or more of total purchases and, in total, represented nearly 35% of total purchases. Although we believe that our relationships with our suppliers are strong and that we would have access to similar products from competing suppliers should products be unavailable from current sources, any supply shortage, particularly of the most commonly sold items, could result in a loss of revenues and reduced margins and damage our reputation and relationships with customers.

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

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

We may also experience price volatility related to the implementation of tariffs on imported steel or other products. For example, certain of our vendors use steel as a product input, and they may increase prices as a result of tariffs incurred or the overall impact of tariffs on domestic steel prices.

Historically, we have generally been able to pass increases in prices on to our customers. Although we often are able to pass on manufacturers’ price increases, our ability to pass on increases in costs in a timely fashion depends on the competitiveness of pricing environments and other market conditions.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

Risks Related to Acquisitions and our Growth Strategy

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

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

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

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

•unforeseen difficulties or disruptions in integrating operations, technologies, services, accounting, and employees;

•diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

•unforeseen difficulties related to entering geographic regions where we do not have prior experience;

•potential loss of key employees;

•unforeseen cybersecurity risks related to the businesses acquired or to the manufacturers and vendors the acquired businesses rely on;

•unforeseen liabilities and expenses associated with businesses acquired; and

•inability to generate sufficient revenue or realize sufficient cost savings to offset acquisition or investment costs.

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

Table of Contents

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.

The implementation of our cost and revenue initiatives to enhance efficiencies and drive organic growth may not be effective and may not improve our results of operations or cash flow from operations as planned.

Our organic growth strategy involves the implementation of a number of cost and revenue initiatives to further increase efficiency and drive growth, including advanced pricing analytics, demand and supply planning tools, financial management tools, and further back-office optimization. The implementation of these initiatives requires investments in management, operational and financial resources, and although we believe these strategies will drive revenue growth, margin and free cash flow, we can make no assurances that these initiatives will generate sufficient revenue or cost savings to recoup the costs of such investments. Further, if we are not able to successfully implement these cost reduction and revenue generating initiatives, our future financial results may suffer.

Risks Related to Cyclicality, Seasonality, and Weather

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

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

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

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

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

Risks Related to Information Technology

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

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

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

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

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

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

Table of Contents

Our business may be harmed if we are unable to effectively develop, implement, maintain, enhance, protect and upgrade information technology systems, including those systems of any businesses we acquire.

Our business may be harmed if we are unable to effectively implement our digital transformation initiatives and successfully integrate acquired companies’ IT systems with our own. We expect our customers to continue to demand more sophisticated, fully integrated technology. To keep pace with changing technologies and customer demands, we must correctly address market trends and enhance the features and functionality of our IT systems in response to these trends, which may lead to significant ongoing software development costs. Any failure to respond to these trends in a timely or cost-effective manner could result in decreased demand for our services and a corresponding decrease in revenues.

In addition, we have made and expect to continue to make significant investments in AI and other emerging technologies to remain competitive, but there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will be able to recoup the costs of such investments. If we are unable or slow to develop or deploy such emerging technologies in our business, our competitiveness will suffer.

The companies we acquire will need to be integrated with our IT systems, which may cause additional costs, delays or disruption. We may acquire companies with less sophisticated IT systems or cybersecurity practices, which could expose us to increased cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities. Further, our IT systems need to be sufficiently scalable to support the future growth of our business and may require modifications or upgrades that expose us to additional risks of damage or disruption. Any material delay, disruption, malfunction or similar challenges with our IT systems or those of the companies we acquire could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to Human Capital

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

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

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

Any labor disputes, work stoppages, or unionization efforts could result in significant increases in our cost of labor. While we believe that our relations with employees generally and the labor unions that represent our employees (which as of December 31, 2025 was approximately 4.1% of our workforce) are generally good and we have experienced no material strikes or work stoppages recently (and there are no material outstanding labor disputes currently), in the future we could experience these and other types of conflicts with labor unions, other groups representing employees, with the employees of the companies we acquire, or with our employees in general.

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

We are 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 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Risks Related to Our Industry

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

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

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

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

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

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, with relatively low barriers to entry for local competitors. Competition is driven by factors such as pricing, product availability, service quality, delivery capabilities, customer relationships, geographic reach, and breadth of product offerings. Financial stability also plays a critical role, as suppliers and customers consider it when selecting distributors for their products, and it influences the favorability of the terms under which we purchase products from suppliers and sell them to customers.

Some competitors have been, or may be, acquired by larger companies and therefore may have access to greater financial and other resources than we do. As a result, we may be unable to maintain a cost structure low enough to compete effectively. If we cannot compete successfully, our future net sales and net income could decline.

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 choose 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.

Table of Contents

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 the Acquisition of Beacon

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

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

•the challenge of integrating complex organizations, systems, operating procedures, compliance programs, technology, networks and other assets of Beacon;

•the difficulties harmonizing differences in the business cultures of QXO and Beacon;

•the inability to successfully integrate our respective businesses in a manner that permits us to achieve the cost savings and other anticipated benefits from the Beacon Acquisition;

•the inability to minimize the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns during the process of integrating Beacon into our businesses;

•the inability to resolve potential conflicts that may arise relating to customer, supplier and other important relationships of our business and Beacon;

•difficulties in retaining key management and other key employees; and

•the challenge of managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company and coordinating geographically separate organizations.

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

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

Beacon may have liabilities that are not known to us.

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

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.

We incurred, through our wholly owned subsidiary QXO Building Products, Inc. (formerly known as Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (the “Credit Parties”), substantial indebtedness in connection with the Beacon Acquisition. As of December 31, 2025, we had $3.10 billion of outstanding indebtedness, consisting of $2.25 billion of our Notes (as defined herein) and $850.0 million under our Term Loan Facility (as defined herein). In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.97 billion available for additional borrowing under our ABL Facility (as defined herein) (subject to a borrowing base and excluding approximately $21.2 million in letters of credit outstanding thereunder). See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional details regarding such indebtedness.

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

•making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an event of default under the agreements governing other indebtedness;

•requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of interest and the repayment of our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available to us for other purposes;

•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, business development or other general corporate requirements, including dividends, if and when declared by our Board;

•increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•making us more highly leveraged than some of our competitors, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage;

•restricting us from making strategic acquisitions, engaging in development activities or exploiting business opportunities;

•causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;

•exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings are and may in the future be at variable rates of interest;

•limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our industry;

•impacting our effective tax rate; and

•increasing our cost of borrowing.

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

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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

•incur additional debt, guarantee indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

•pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock or make other restricted payments;

•prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;

•make loans or certain investments;

•sell certain assets;

•create liens on certain assets;

•consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

•enter into certain transactions with our affiliates;

•enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and

•designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

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

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

•will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us;

•could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit;

•could require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings; or

•could effectively prevent us from making debt service payments (due to a cash sweep feature).

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

Regulatory and General Risks

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

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

•transportation regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Transportation;

•work safety regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration;

Table of Contents

•employment regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the U.S. Department of Labor;

•environmental regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency; and

•similar regulations promulgated by state, provincial, and local regulators.

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

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

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

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.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

Future 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 and prospectus supplements registering the resale of 857,077,924 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. In addition, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a prospectus supplement covering the resale of (i) a new series of Series C Preferred Stock (as further discussed in Recent Developments above) and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock within 30 days following the closing of a Qualifying Acquisition and (ii) the Consideration Shares to be issued in connection with the Kodiak Acquisition as soon as practicable after the closing of such transaction (as discussed in Recent Developments above). Substantial sales of securities by these stockholders and investors, 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.

Table of Contents

In addition, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated April 14, 2024, among the Company, Jacobs Private Equity II, LLC (“JPE”) and certain other investors thereto (collectively, the “Investors”), we issued and sold 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock”) and warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 219 million shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). In connection with that transaction, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with JPE and certain of the Investors, pursuant to which JPE has certain demand registration rights that may require us to conduct underwritten offerings of the underlying 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 and will continue to register on Form S-8 all shares of common stock that are issuable under the QXO, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan, including shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise and/or vesting of equity awards granted in connection with the Beacon Acquisition that replaced certain previously outstanding Beacon awards. 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.

The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares and, if issued, the Series C Preferred Stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock is likely influenced by our outstanding depositary shares (“Depositary Shares”), each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of 5.50% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”) and the anticipated issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock. The market price of our common stock could become more volatile and could be depressed by: (i) investors’ anticipation of the potential resale in the market of a substantial number of additional shares of common stock received upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, correspondingly, the Depositary Shares) and, if issued, the Series C Preferred Stock; (ii) possible sales of our common stock by investors who view the Depositary Shares as a more attractive means of equity participation in us than owning shares of common stock; and (iii) hedging or arbitrage trading activity that we expect to develop involving the Depositary Shares, our common stock and, if issued, the Series C Preferred Stock.

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

Our common stock ranks junior to both our Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock and our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, if issued, will rank junior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. This means that, unless accumulated dividends have been paid or set aside for payment on all our outstanding Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, if issued, any Series C Preferred Stock through the most recently completed dividend period, no dividends may be declared or paid on our common stock subject to limited exceptions. Likewise, in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, no distribution of our assets may be made to holders of our common stock until we have paid to holders of our Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share (plus accumulated and unpaid dividends) and, if the Series C Preferred Stock is issued, a liquidation preference equal to $10,000 per share (plus accumulated and unpaid dividends) to such stockholders.

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.

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.

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 22.1% 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 40% of the total Board members in connection with each meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected because the Investors party to the Investment Agreement beneficially own or control approximately 39.4% of the voting power of our capital stock when calculated on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, assuming the exercise of the Warrants. JPE currently holds 900,000 shares of Convertible Perpetual 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 Perpetual Preferred Stock, shares of common stock or other voting securities, or Warrants exercisable for such securities, representing, in the aggregate, at least 30% 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 40% of the total Board members. JPE’s right to designate persons to the Board will generally decrease proportionally with a decrease in the Investors’ ownership or control (together with affiliates) of Convertible Perpetual 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 Board members;

•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.

Table of Contents

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.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Our information security program is designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information technology assets. This program is overseen by our chief information security officer (“CISO”), whose team is responsible for leading the cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, threat detection and prevention, and incident response processes. Our CISO reports directly to our chief information officer (“CIO”) on the effectiveness of our cybersecurity program and has 20 years of IT experience, including leadership roles with enterprise responsibility for IT audit, IT infrastructure, and cybersecurity. Our cybersecurity risk management system is integrated into our broader enterprise risk management (“ERM”) framework. This ERM process is facilitated by a risk committee, which is comprised of senior leaders from key functional and operational areas across the company. The risk committee has separate discussions for each risk with senior-level risk owners who have firsthand knowledge of their commercial or functional area. For cybersecurity-related risks, these discussions include the CISO and other key IT leadership. Through these discussions, the risk committee develops an enterprise-wide risk profile, which it then reviews and refines with the executive leadership team before presenting it to the Board.

In addition to reports to the Board on our enterprise risks, at least annually, the Audit Committee reviews with management the Company’s cybersecurity assessment and risk management policies, including any significant cybersecurity or data privacy risk exposures and management’s plans to monitor or mitigate them.

We employ various technical controls and measures to protect against cybersecurity attacks, which align with functions identified in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity 2.0 Framework. These include, among other things, a cybersecurity awareness training program for all employees and frequent phishing simulations. The information security team also reviews our information security systems for unauthorized system access, cybersecurity incidents, indicators of compromise, and unusual traffic on our systems. Our CISO continuously monitors the effectiveness of our processes and controls, which drives investment decisions in our cybersecurity program.

We periodically engage external subject matter experts who provide independent qualitative and quantitative assessments of the cybersecurity program maturity and response readiness. Additionally, we use processes, such as third-party risk monitoring security rating agencies, to oversee and identify material risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party technology and systems. We also maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage as part of our overall insurance portfolio.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2025, 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 “Risks Related to Information Technology” in this Annual Report.

Item 2. Properties

Our main properties include corporate office space and branch facilities. We believe that all of our properties have been adequately maintained, are in good condition and are generally suitable and adequate for our current needs. Additional space may be required as we expand our business activities. We do not foresee any significant difficulties in obtaining additional facilities if deemed necessary.

Corporate Offices

Our corporate headquarters is located on leased premises in Greenwich, Connecticut. We also lease other corporate office space, with our largest offices located in Herndon, Virginia, Coppell, Texas, and Seattle, Washington. These locations have corporate functions such as executive management, accounting, sales, human resources, legal, marketing, supply chain management, business development and information technology. Our leased corporate offices range in size from approximately 600 square feet to 25,200 square feet.

Branch Facilities

As of December 31, 2025, we operated approximately 600 branch facilities throughout all 50 states in the U.S. and seven provinces in Canada. Of our total branch facilities, approximately 96% were located in the U.S. and approximately 4% were located in Canada. Our branch facilities range in size from approximately 2,000 square feet to 148,700 square feet. We lease approximately 97% of our branch facilities, and the remaining 3% are owned.

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 appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

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

Beacon Acquisition

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

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

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Net Sales

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


	Year Ended December 31,	% of net sales
(in millions, except percentages)		2025(1)		2024		2025		2024
Residential roofing products		$	3,307.1	$	—	48.3	%	—	%
Non-residential roofing products		1,883.9		—		27.5	%	—	%
Complementary building products		1,592.7		—		23.3	%	—	%

Total net sales		$	6,842.2	$	56.9	100.0	%	100.0	%

(1) Net sales include Beacon’s operations from the date of acquisition on April 29, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased to $6.84 billion compared to $56.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the Beacon Acquisition as Beacon’s net sales for the period of April 29, 2025 through December 31, 2025 are included in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025. Beacon’s sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, which includes sales for the pre-acquisition period of January 1, 2025 through April 28, 2025, were down relative to Beacon’s sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to macroeconomic headwinds consistent with the broader building products industry as well as the absence of named storms in the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased to $5.27 billion, up from $33.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to higher cost of products sold associated with increased net sales as a result of the Beacon Acquisition. Cost of products sold was also negatively impacted by the inventory fair value adjustments of $131.7 million as a result of recording Beacon’s inventory at fair value on the acquisition date.

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

SG&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased to $1.39 billion, up from $93.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily driven by costs incurred to support the ongoing operations of our business subsequent to the Beacon Acquisition, including payroll and employee benefit costs, warehouse operating costs, and general and administrative costs. The increase in SG&A expense was also attributable to increases in stock-based compensation expense of $110.1 million, acquisition-related transaction costs of $70.9 million and restructuring charges of $56.8 million.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense was $108.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to an increase in property and equipment as a result of the Beacon Acquisition.

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense was $314.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to amortization expense associated with new customer relationships and trade names intangible assets recognized as a result of the Beacon Acquisition.

Interest (Expense) Income, Net

Interest (expense) income, net was $(47.7) million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $121.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparative increase in interest expense was primarily due to additional debt that was issued by QXO Building Products in connection with the Beacon Acquisition, resulting in higher interest expense. Interest (expense) income, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 was partially offset by interest income of $125.8 million recognized on interest-bearing cash accounts. Interest (expense) income, net for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $121.8 million comprised of interest income of $121.9 million recognized on interest-bearing cash accounts and interest expense of $0.1 million.

Table of Contents

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

Loss on debt extinguishment was $49.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the principal prepayment of $1.40 billion under the Term Loan Facility in May 2025 and the subsequent refinancing of the Term Loan Facility in November 2025. The loss on debt extinguishment includes the pro-rata extinguishment of previously capitalized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs and third-party fees associated with the modification of the Term Loan Facility.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 17.1%, compared to 45.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s effective tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were based on the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and state jurisdictional income tax rates, adjusted for permanent items including compensation above $1 million, inclusive of equity awards, paid to covered employees under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), excess tax benefits related to equity compensation and non-deductible transaction costs due to the Beacon Acquisition, coupled with the pre-tax loss during the year ended December 31, 2025.

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA includes numerous provisions that affect corporate taxation, including changes to bonus depreciation, the expensing of domestic research costs, and modifications to certain U.S. international tax rules. The Company has analyzed the impacts of the OBBBA and reflected them in the current period. These impacts do not have a material effect on the tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Realization of our deferred tax assets depends on the reversal of our deferred tax liabilities. In considering our need for a valuation allowance, we consider our historical and future projected taxable income, as well as other objectively verifiable evidence, including our utilization of tax attributes net operating loss carryforwards through the realization of deferred tax liabilities.

We believe that it is at least more likely than not that the benefit of the year-to-date losses will be realized in future periods. However, our future effective tax rate may be affected by our ongoing assessment of the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws, regulations, or accounting principles, tax planning initiatives, as well as certain discrete items.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

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

Seasonality

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash balance was $2.36 billion as of December 31, 2025 and consisted primarily of cash on deposit with banks and investments in money market funds. In addition, we may choose to raise additional funds at any time through equity or debt financing arrangements, which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, acquisitions or other strategic investments. We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements considering our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. Following the Beacon Acquisition, our primary sources of liquidity are cash on the balance sheet, cash generated by operations and borrowings under the ABL Facility. Our primary uses of cash after the Beacon Acquisition are working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. We believe that our existing liquidity and sources of capital are sufficient to support our operations over the next 12 months.

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

Issuance of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock

On May 27, 2025, the Company completed a preferred stock offering, through which QXO issued and sold 11.5 million Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of the Company’s 5.50% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $1,000 per share, par value $0.001 per share.

The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate dividends (which may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock or in any combination of cash and common stock) at a rate per annum equal to 5.50% on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, payable when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors (or an authorized committee thereof), on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2025 and ending on, and including, May 15, 2028. Given the requirement to pay dividends in any settlement outcome of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company accrues dividends whether or not they are formally declared by the Company’s board of directors. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $14.8 million of dividends to holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the close of the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $7.9 million of quarterly dividends to holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. These dividends are part of the Company’s ongoing cash obligations and are considered when evaluating overall liquidity needs.

Mandatory Conversion

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


Applicable Market Value of Common Stock						Conversion Rate per Share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
Greater than $20.2126 (the “Threshold Appreciation Price”)						49.4740 shares of common stock
Equal to or less than the Threshold Appreciation Price but greater than or equal to the Initial Price						Between 49.4740 and 60.6060 shares of common stock, determined by dividing $1,000 by the applicable market value
Less than $16.50 (the “Initial Price”)						60.6060 shares of common stock

Table of Contents

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


Applicable Market Value of Common Stock						Conversion Rate per Depository Share Representing a 1/20th interest in a share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
Greater than the Threshold Appreciation Price						2.4737 shares of common stock
Equal to or less than the Threshold Appreciation Price but greater than or equal to the Initial Price						Between 2.4737 and 3.0303 shares of common stock, determined by dividing $50 by the applicable market value
Less than the Initial Price						3.0303 shares of common stock

Optional Conversion

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

Fundamental Change Conversion

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

Ranking

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

Voting Rights

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

The Initial Commitment Period will be extended with respect to the commitment for a Qualifying Acquisition up to an additional 12 months if a definitive acquisition agreement for such Qualifying Acquisition is executed before the expiration of the Initial Commitment Period.

Senior Secured Notes

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

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

The Indenture includes customary affirmative and negative covenants with respect to the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Issuer must offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the purchase date. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default. As of December 31, 2025, the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants.

Debt issuance costs of $22.2 million related to the Notes were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the financing arrangement.

As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Notes, net of $20.5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $2.23 billion.

Term Loan Facility

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

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

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

The Term Loan Credit Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants with respect to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including relating to a change of control. As of December 31, 2025, the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants.

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

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

On November 5, 2025, the Borrower amended the Term Loan Credit Agreement in order to refinance the Term Loan Facility. The amendment reduced the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility from 3.00% to 2.00% for Term SOFR borrowings and from 2.00% to 1.00% for base rate borrowings (the “Term Loan Refinancing”). As a result of the Term Loan Refinancing, the Borrower recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $4.0 million, which is comprised of $0.9 million of unamortized OID costs, $2.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, and $0.9 million of third-party fees associated with the modification of the Term Loan Facility. Additionally, new debt issuance costs of $0.1 million were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the financing arrangement.

The loss on debt extinguishment resulting from the principal prepayment and the subsequent Term Loan Refinancing was separately recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan Facility, net of $6.8 million of unamortized OID costs and $15.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $827.8 million.

ABL Credit Agreement

On April 29, 2025, Merger Sub, as initial borrower, entered into the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”), with Holdings, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), with an aggregate borrowing availability equal to the lesser of $2.0 billion, and the borrowing base. Upon the consummation of the Beacon Acquisition, the Borrower entered into a joinder to the ABL Credit Agreement as the surviving borrower. The ABL Facility matures on April 29, 2030. Based on the Borrower’s borrowing base as of December 31, 2025, the Borrower had $1.97 billion borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility.

Table of Contents

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, either (a) (x) Term SOFR determined by reference to the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which rate shall be no less than zero or (y) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the prime rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” and (iii) the sum of one-month adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, which base rate shall be no less than 1.00%, or (b) (x) with respect to borrowings of Canadian dollars, Term CORRA determined by reference to the interbank offered rate administered by the CORRA Administrator, which rate shall be no less than zero or (y) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) zero (0%), (ii) the one-month Term CORRA plus 1.00% per annum or (iii) the prime rate reported by Reuters, in each case plus an applicable margin based on excess availability set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement. The Borrower is also required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum (depending on the average utilization of the commitments) to the lenders under the ABL Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The Borrower can make voluntary prepayments at any time without penalty, subject to customary breakage costs.

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

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

The ABL Facility requires that the Borrower, commencing on or after the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the closing date of the ABL Facility, maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 at any time that availability is less than the greater of (x) $120 million and (y) 10% of the lesser of (i) the borrowing base at such time and (ii) the aggregate amount of ABL Facility commitments at such time. As of December 31, 2025, the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants.

Debt issuance costs of $18.8 million related to the ABL Facility were capitalized and are being amortized ratably over the term of the financing arrangement. The debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility are presented as an asset, included in other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, there were $16.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility.

As of December 31, 2025, there was no outstanding balance on the ABL Facility. The Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries had $21.2 million in outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility as of December 31, 2025.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $261.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $84.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash provided by operations increased $176.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to the seasonal timing of net working capital requirements for inventory purchases and cash collections as a result of Beacon’s operations being included for the period of April 29, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $10.63 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash used in investing activities increased $10.63 billion during the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to the Beacon Acquisition and an increase in capital expenditures during the period. See Note 3 – Acquisitions of Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report for more information.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.66 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $4.98 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash provided by financing activities increased $2.68 billion during the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to the issuance of the Notes, net borrowings under our Term Loan Facility, and net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock during the period, which were partially offset by net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants in the prior year.

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. While there are a number of accounting policies, methods, and estimates affecting our consolidated financial statements, we consider business combinations to be a critical accounting estimate.

Business Combinations

We record acquisitions resulting in the consolidation of a business using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, we record the assets acquired, including intangible assets that can be identified, and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Various Level 3 fair value assumptions are used in the determination of these estimated fair values, including items such as sales growth rates, cost synergies, customer attrition rates, discount rates, and other prospective financial information. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We believe these estimates are based on reasonable assumptions, however they are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, therefore actual results may differ. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred and are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash equivalents consist primarily of demand and money market accounts and have an original maturity date of 90 days or less. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under our asset-based revolving lines of credit and outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of $827.8 million under our Term Loan Facility and $2.23 billion under our Notes. Borrowings under our ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility incur interest on a floating rate basis while borrowings represented by our Notes incur interest on a fixed rate basis. As of December 31, 2025, our weighted-average effective interest rate on debt instruments with variable rates was 5.72%. A 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material effect on our interest income or expense.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of QXO, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of QXO, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Customer Relationships Intangible Asset — Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company completed the acquisition of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (“Beacon”) for $10.6 billion on April 29, 2025. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including a customer relationship intangible asset of $3,900.6 million. Management estimated the fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach methodology. A key assumption in the fair value measurement is the customer attrition rate (“attrition rate”), which projects the percentage of customer revenue from an existing customer base that is lost over the customer relationship intangible asset’s estimated useful life.

We identified the attrition rate assumption as a critical audit matter because of its significance to the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value and data specialists when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s selected attrition rate.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the attrition rate used in valuing the customer relationship included the following, among others:

•We evaluated management’s process for estimating the attrition rate by:

◦Comparing historical customer retention data for Beacon to management’s assumptions.

Table of Contents

◦Assessing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used to determine the estimated attrition rate.

◦Performing a retrospective review of the attrition rate using actual results.

•With the assistance of our fair value and data specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the attrition rate by:

◦Performing sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of reasonably possible changes in the attrition rate on the calculated fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset.

◦Developing a range of independent attrition rate estimates using both historical Beacon Roofing Supply experience and relevant industry benchmarks and comparing these to the rate selected by management.

◦Recalculating the attrition rate and verifying the mathematical accuracy of the fair value model.

◦Performing a benchmarking analysis within transactions conducted in the building product distribution industry.

QXO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business

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

Beacon Acquisition

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

The Company serves customers in all 50 states throughout the United States (the “U.S.”) and seven provinces in Canada. The Company’s material subsidiary is QXO Building Products.

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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Beacon Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 (“ASC 805”), Business Combinations. As the legacy Beacon business now comprises substantially all of the Company and has significantly larger operations compared to the Company prior to the Beacon Acquisition, QXO determined that Beacon is the predecessor entity (“predecessor”) for financial reporting purposes. The Company also determined that the Beacon Acquisition represented a fundamental change in QXO’s operations.

Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation in the consolidated statements of operations related to revenue, cost of sales, depreciation and amortization, which are now presented to conform with the predecessor’s historical presentation. The Company has also reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation in the consolidated balance sheets related to deferred revenue, which is now presented within accrued expenses.

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. Significant items subject to such estimates include inventories, purchase price allocations, income taxes and vendor rebates receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Business Combinations

The Company records acquisitions resulting in the consolidation of a business using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the Company records the assets acquired, including intangible assets that can be identified, and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Various Level 3 fair value assumptions are used in the determination of these estimated fair values, including items such as sales growth rates, cost synergies, customer attrition rates, discount rates, and other prospective financial information. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management believes these estimates are based on reasonable assumptions, however they are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, therefore actual results may differ. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may adjust provisional amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred and are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. The Company believes these global financial institutions to be financially sound with minimal credit risk and the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Amounts included in restricted cash primarily 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, cash equivalents and restricted cash:


	As of
(in millions)	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,361.6	$	5,068.5
Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets	3.8		3.5
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	2,365.4	$	5,072.0

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable at the contractual amount and records an allowance for credit losses for the amount the Company estimates it may not collect. In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collection experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality and risk of its customers, any specific customer collection issues, current economic conditions, and other factors that may impact customers’ ability to pay. The Company also considers reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and their expected impact on customer collections in determining the allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivable balances are written off once the receivables are no longer deemed collectible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, no single customer accounted for more than 1% of our net sales.

The following table represents the roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024:


(in millions)	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Balance at beginning of period	$	0.5	$	0.5
Current period provision for expected credit losses	13.8		—
Recoveries	(1.3)		—
Balance at end of period	$	13.0	$	0.5

Inventories

The Company’s inventories primarily represent finished goods, consisting of products available for sale. Inventories acquired in connection with acquisitions are recorded at fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The Company’s inventories not acquired in connection with acquisitions are accounted for using the weighted-average cost method and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Inventory costs consist of product and inbound shipping and handling costs. Inventory valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers or returns to product vendors.

Table of Contents

Vendor Rebates

The Company’s arrangements with vendors typically provide for rebates after it makes a special purchase and/or monthly, quarterly and/or annual rebates of a specified amount of consideration payable when a number of measures have been achieved. Annual rebates are generally related to a specified cumulative level of purchases on a calendar-year basis. The Company accounts for such rebates as a reduction of the inventory value until the product is sold, at which time such rebates reduce cost of products sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Throughout the year, the Company estimates the amount of the periodic rebates based upon the expected level of purchases. The Company continually revises these estimates to reflect actual rebates earned based on actual purchase levels.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment acquired in connection with acquisitions are recorded at fair value as of the date of the acquisition and depreciated utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives. All other additions are recorded at cost, and depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets on an ongoing basis.

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are principally as follows:



Buildings						40 years
Equipment						3 to 7 years
Furniture and fixtures						7 years
Software						3 to 5 years
Finance lease assets and leasehold improvements						Shorter of the estimated useful life or lease term, considering renewal options expected to be exercised.

The following is a summary of property and equipment, net:


	As of
	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
(in millions)
Equipment	$	259.5	$	4.0
Finance lease assets	216.9		—
Leasehold improvements	124.5		0.1
Furniture and fixtures	29.7		0.2
Software	31.2		—
Land and buildings	59.6		—
Construction in progress	55.1		—
Total property and equipment	776.5		4.3
Accumulated depreciation	(87.9)		(3.9)
Total property and equipment, net	$	688.6	$	0.4

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company mostly operates in leased branch facilities and corporate offices, which are accounted for as operating leases. The leases typically provide for a base rent plus real estate taxes and insurance. Certain of the leases provide for escalating rents over the lives of the leases, and rent expense is recognized over the terms of those leases on a straight-line basis. In addition, the Company leases equipment, such as trucks and forklifts. Equipment leases are accounted for as either operating or finance leases.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The 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 or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

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. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of financial lease liabilities, and finance 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 the lease 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 the 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 assets also include any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancelable lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, the lease asset is depreciated over the lease term and interest expense is recorded using the effective interest method.

The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company has elected to combine fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component, which increases the lease assets and liabilities.

Payments under the Company’s lease agreements are primarily fixed. However, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and are not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities. These amounts include payments affected by the Consumer Price Index and reimbursements to landlords for items such as property insurance and common area costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Goodwill

On an annual basis and at interim periods when circumstances require, the Company tests the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and reviews for indicators of impairment. Examples of such indicators 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 following table sets forth the change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2025:


(in millions)	December 31, 2025
Balance at beginning of period	$	1.2
Acquisitions	5,111.2
Translation and other adjustments	(1.1)
Balance at end of period	$	5,111.3

Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes certain identifiable intangible assets that have finite lives, currently consisting of customer relationships and trade names. These amortizable intangible assets are amortized over the useful lives of the asset using the straight-line amortization method. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment, when deemed necessary, based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, are written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values.

The following table summarizes intangible assets by category:


	As of				Weighted-Average Remaining Life(1) (Years)
(in millions, except time periods)	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Amortizable intangible assets:
Customer relationships and other	$	3,908.7	$	9.4	9.3
Trade names	229.9		—		2.3

Total amortizable intangible assets	4,138.6		9.4		9.0
Accumulated amortization	(320.2)		(5.4)
Total amortizable intangible assets, net	3,818.4		4.0
Indefinite-lived domain names	0.7		—
Total intangibles, net	$	3,819.1	$	4.0

Other	15.5		6.5
Total accrued expenses	$	574.3	$	38.6

Asset Retirement Obligations

A liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred. When an asset retirement obligation liability is initially recorded, the Company capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. For each subsequent period, the liability is increased for accretion expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. The Company recognized asset retirement obligations in connection with the Beacon Acquisition. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Company’s asset retirement obligations was $25.5 million, which is included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

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, vendor rebates receivable, income tax receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net Sales

Net sales represent the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring products to customers. Performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, and net sales are recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, which occurs when the customer accepts the delivery of our product or takes possession of our product with rights and rewards of ownership. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation—to deliver products—and are short-term in nature.

Table of Contents

The Company does not provide extended payment terms, and payment is due shortly after control transfers. The Company generally does not require prepayments; however, to the extent customers make payments in advance of delivery, the Company records a liability. Total customer advances as of December 31, 2025 was $20.1 million, and are expected to be recognized as revenue in the following year due to the short-term nature of the contracts. There were no customer advances as of December 31, 2024.

Net sales are presented net of variable consideration, including estimated product returns, customer sales incentives (including volume rebates), and early payment discounts taken.

The Company estimates product returns based on historical return rates and records accrued sales returns and defers the related cost of products sold. Total accrued sales returns as of December 31, 2025 was $26.6 million and total cost of products sold deferred was $20.4 million. There were no accrued sales returns or cost of products sold deferred as of December 31, 2024. Provisions for early payment discounts are accrued in the same period in which the sale occurs based on historical experience. Commissions paid to internal sales teams to obtain contracts are expensed as incurred because the related contracts have a duration of one year or less. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from net sales.

The Company offers sales incentives to customers, primarily volume rebates based on achieving specified sales levels. These volume rebates are not in exchange for a distinct good or service and therefore reduce net sales when the related revenue is recognized. The Company estimates volume rebate accruals based on contract terms, historical experience, and performance levels. Total accrued sales incentives as of December 31, 2025 was $148.4 million. There were no accrued sales incentives as of December 31, 2024.

Shipping and handling amounts billed to customers are included in net sales. Related shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment activities and are recognized in cost of products sold when control of the products transfers to the customer.

Customer advances, sales returns, and sales incentives are included in accrued expenses, early payment discounts are included in accounts receivable, net, and cost of products sold deferred are included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-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 Company’s 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 stock-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 award is amortized over the requisite service period.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Interest (Expense) Income, Net

The following table presents the components of interest (expense) income, net:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions)		2025		2024
Interest income		$	125.8	$	121.9
Interest expense		(173.5)		(0.1)
Interest (expense) income, net		$	(47.7)	$	121.8

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which requires the recognition of a current tax liability or asset for current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities to the extent that they are realizable. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the year.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Based on this guidance, the Company analyzes its filing positions in all of the federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits.

The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in (benefit from) provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a registrant's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on December 31, 2025 using the prospective method of adoption.

The Company analyzed ASU 2023-09 and the impacts on the Company’s effective tax rate table and income taxes paid table in Note 12. The Company adjusted its effective tax rate table for the year ended December 31, 2025 to align with the increased information requirements and required descriptions. Due to the Company’s minimal foreign tax footprint, no jurisdictions were required to be detailed out separately in the effective tax rate table. Additionally, the Company provided a table of income taxes paid, net of refunds, for the year ended December 31, 2025 in Note 12. The significant federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions were determined based on a threshold of 5% of total income taxes paid, net of refunds.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The standard requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain financial statement expense line items presented on the consolidated statements of operations in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. The standard provides a practical expedient to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606. This standard should be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The standard modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing all references to software development stages and introducing a more judgment-based approach. This standard can be applied either prospectively, retrospectively, or utilizing a modified transition approach and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Acquisitions

Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. Acquisition

On March 20, 2025, QXO entered into a Merger Agreement with Beacon and Merger Sub, pursuant to which QXO agreed to acquire Beacon for a purchase price of $124.35 per share of common stock of Beacon. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Beacon, with Beacon remaining as the surviving entity and being renamed QXO Building Products, Inc., and the Company completed its acquisition of Beacon.

As a result of the Beacon Acquisition, QXO has transitioned to a building products distribution company and is the largest publicly traded distributor of roofing, waterproofing and complementary building products in North America. The Beacon Acquisition was a key milestone in the Company’s plan to become to tech-enabled leader in the $800 billion building products distribution industry and generate outsized value for shareholders.

The Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Beacon Acquisition in accordance with ASC 805 primarily due to having board and common share voting control over the combined company, and its managers, including the chief executive officer, directing the activities of the newly merged entity. Furthermore, the Beacon Acquisition was initiated by QXO, and the Company retained the QXO name subsequent to the Beacon Acquisition. The historical financial statements of QXO prior to April 29, 2025 are reflected in this Annual Report as QXO’s historical financial statements. Accordingly, the financial results of QXO as of and for any periods prior to April 29, 2025 do not include the financial results of Beacon and current and future results will not be comparable to historical results.

Additionally, in considering the foregoing principles of predecessor determination and in light of the Company’s specific facts and circumstances, the Company determined that Beacon is the predecessor entity for financial reporting purposes.

Table of Contents

Purchase Price

The following table summarizes the components of the preliminary aggregate purchase consideration paid to acquire Beacon and is subject to adjustments:


(in millions)
Cash paid for outstanding Beacon common stock(1)	$	7,736.6
Converted Beacon RSUs and options attributable to pre-combination service(2)	103.5
Payment of Beacon debt, including accrued interest(3)	2,947.8
Preliminary aggregate acquisition consideration	10,787.9
Less: cash acquired	143.9
Preliminary aggregate acquisition consideration, net of cash acquired	$	10,644.0

(1) The cash component of the preliminary aggregate acquisition consideration represents 62.2 million shares of outstanding common stock of Beacon multiplied by the $124.35 per share cash portion of the acquisition consideration.
(2) This amount represents the value of outstanding equity awards held by Beacon employees that were converted into replacement QXO instruments with identical terms. The conversion was based on the volume-weighted average trading price of QXO common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date. The fair value of replacement equity-based awards attributable to pre-acquisition service was recorded as part of the consideration transferred. This amount also includes cash paid by QXO of $16.0 million to settle RSUs for non-employee members of the board of directors of Beacon, which were accelerated in full, cancelled and paid in cash for $124.35 per share. See Note 8 for additional information.
(3) This amount represents the cash paid by QXO to settle Beacon’s senior secured term loan B facility, senior secured notes, and outstanding line of credit borrowings of $1.26 billion, $1.25 billion and $370.8 million, respectively. Additionally, accrued interest expense of $30.1 million and a breakage fee of $37.8 million was paid for early termination of Beacon’s debt at the closing of the Beacon Acquisition.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the effective date of the Beacon Acquisition, with the excess purchase consideration recorded to goodwill. Goodwill reflects the assembled workforce of Beacon as well as operating synergies that are expected to result from the Beacon Acquisition. All preliminary goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change. The Company is continuing to obtain information to complete its valuation of certain assets and liabilities, in addition to ensuring all other assets and liabilities and contingencies have been identified and recorded. The Company has estimated the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on information currently available and will continue to adjust those estimates as additional information pertaining to events or circumstances present at the Closing Date becomes available during the measurement period. The Company will reflect measurement period adjustments, if any, in the period in which the adjustments occur, and the Company will finalize its accounting for the Beacon Acquisition within one year of the Closing Date.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and a reconciliation to total consideration transferred. The allocation of the purchase price is ongoing, and the Company continues to ascertain the reasonableness of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Subsequent to the determination of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recorded certain measurement period adjustments primarily related to accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred income taxes. The measurement period adjustments had a net impact of decreasing goodwill by $27.4 million.


(in millions)	Preliminary Allocation
Assets:
Accounts receivable	$	1,316.3
Inventories	1,784.6
Vendor rebates receivable	240.0
Income tax receivable	19.9
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	81.1
Property and equipment	687.5
Goodwill	5,111.2
Intangibles	4,130.6
Operating lease right-of-use assets	708.0
Other non-current assets	17.5
Liabilities:
Accounts payable	(1,138.2)
Accrued expenses	(527.0)
Deferred income taxes	(910.3)
Other long-term liabilities	(27.5)
Operating lease liabilities	(668.2)
Finance lease liabilities	(181.5)
Preliminary aggregate acquisition consideration	$	10,644.0

The following table presents a summary of intangible assets acquired and the weighted-average useful life of these assets:


(in millions, except weighted-average useful life)	Preliminary Fair Value		Weighted-Average Useful Life in Years
Customer relationships	$	3,900.6	10.0
Trade names	230.0		3.0
Total intangible assets acquired	$	4,130.6	9.6

The preliminary fair value estimate of the customer relationships intangible asset was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the customer relationships intangible asset, net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets. The preliminary fair value estimate of the trade names intangible asset was determined using the relief-from-royalty method, which presumes the owner of the asset avoids hypothetical royalty payments that would need to be made for the use of the asset if the asset was not owned.

A key assumption in the fair value measurement of the customer relationships intangible asset is the customer attrition rate, which projects the percentage of customer revenue from an existing customer base that is lost over the customer relationships intangible asset’s estimated useful life. Other key inputs used in the discounted cash flow analyses and other areas of judgment include projected financial information, discount rates used to present value future cash flows, royalty rates, economic useful life of assets and tax rates, as relevant, that market participants would consider when estimating fair values.

The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $74.8 million related to the Beacon Acquisition. These costs were associated with legal and professional services and were recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the combined results of the Company and Beacon as if the Beacon Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented below does not give effect to the May 2025 and June 2025 common and preferred (including Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) equity financings (as further discussed in Note 6), as these financings were not directly attributable to the Beacon Acquisition. The proceeds from equity financings completed in May 2025 were used to repay indebtedness under the Notes (as defined in Note 9) previously issued as part of financings that were completed to effectuate the Beacon Acquisition. As this repayment of indebtedness was not directly attributable to the Beacon Acquisition, the related reduction in interest expense is not reflected in this unaudited pro forma combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for informational purposes and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the Beacon Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024, nor is it indicative of future results.

The following table presents the Company’s pro forma combined net sales and net loss:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions)		2025		2024
Net sales		$	9,536.8	$	9,820.1
Net loss		$	(332.4)	$	(215.9)

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes, where applicable, adjustments for:

(i) Acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC 805;

(ii) Financing transactions directly attributable to the Beacon Acquisition; and

(iii) Transaction costs incurred by the Company that were directly attributable to the Beacon Acquisition.

These pro forma adjustments are based on available information as of the date hereof and upon assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable to reflect the impact of the Beacon Acquisition on the Company’s historical financial information on a supplemental pro forma basis. Adjustments do not include costs related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that have been or may be achieved by the combined business.

Kodiak Building Partners Acquisition

On February 10, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Kodiak Building Partners from Court Square Capital Partners for approximately $2.25 billion. The purchase price comprises $2.0 billion of cash and 13.2 million of the Company’s common shares, with the Company retaining the right to repurchase these shares at $40 per share. The transaction is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

4. Restructuring

Subsequent to the Beacon Acquisition, the Company developed a restructuring plan to streamline and simplify the organization, improve efficiency and reduce costs. As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company recorded $100.7 million in pre-tax restructuring charges, comprised of $54.6 million of severance and employee-related costs associated with corporate workforce optimization, a $41.1 million stock-based compensation charge associated with the impacted employees, and $5.0 million of lease abandonment costs. These restructuring charges are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The severance and employee-related costs were recorded in accrued expenses, while the stock-based compensation charge was reflected as an adjustment to common stock and additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. The severance and employee-related restructuring charge liability is expected to be paid in full by June 2026.

The following table shows the change in the restructuring charge liability during the year ended December 31, 2025:


	Severance and Employee-related Costs		Lease Abandonment Costs
(in millions)
Restructuring charge liability as of December 31, 2024	$	—	$	—
Restructuring charges	54.6		5.0
Payments	(28.4)		—
Non-cash settlement	—		(5.0)
Restructuring charge liability as of December 31, 2025	$	26.2	$	—

Table of Contents

Severance and employee-related costs consist primarily of salary continuation benefits, prorated annual incentive compensation, continuation of health care benefits, outplacement services and retention awards issued to certain key employees. Severance and employee-related benefits are determined pursuant to the Company’s written severance plans and are recognized when the benefits are determined to be probable of being paid and are reasonably estimable. Retention awards are recognized on a straight-line basis from the communication date to the end of the requisite retention period.

Lease abandonment costs primarily represent the write-off of the remaining carrying value of operating lease ROU assets for branch facilities that were abandoned in connection with the Company's restructuring plan. These lease abandonment charges are recognized as of the cease-use date. Other exit-related costs, including costs to close branch facilities, are recognized as incurred.

5. Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

Segment Reporting

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, the chief executive officer, reviews consolidated results of operations to make decisions, therefore the Company views its operations and manages its business as a single operating segment.

The Company’s revenues for its single operating segment are primarily derived from the sale of residential and non-residential roofing products, as well as complementary products, such as siding and waterproofing. The CODM evaluates performance for the Company’s single operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on the Company’s consolidated net income that is reported in the consolidated statements of operations as net (loss) income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. These results are used to assess segment performance and determine the compensation of certain employees.

The operating segment financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM, inclusive of assets, revenue, expenses, profit or loss and noncash items are presented on a consolidated basis. Other segment items included in consolidated net income are depreciation, amortization, interest income (expense), net, loss on debt extinguishment, other income, net, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes, which are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents information regarding the components of revenue, significant segment expenses and consolidated net (loss) income representative of the significant categories regularly provided to the CODM when managing the Company’s one operating segment:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions)		2025		2024
Net sales:
Residential roofing products		$	3,307.1	$	—
Non-residential roofing products		1,883.9		—
Complementary building products		1,592.7		—
Software products and services		58.5		56.9
Total net sales		$	6,842.2	$	56.9
Less:
Cost of products sold		$	5,269.5	$	33.8
Selling, general administrative expenses(1)		1,250.3		58.6
Stock-based compensation		144.5		34.4
Other segment items		457.3		(97.9)

Net (loss) income		$	(279.4)	$	28.0

(1) Excludes stock-based compensation.

Geographic Information

Net sales in the U.S. accounted for approximately 97% of total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, and approximately 96% of the Company’s long-lived assets were in the U.S. as of December 31, 2025. All of the Company’s net sales were derived from the U.S. for the year ended December 31, 2024, and all of the Company’s long-lived assets were in the U.S. as of December 31, 2024. The CODM does not review geographic asset information when assessing performance or allocating resources.

6. Equity

April 2024 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, the Company 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 are initially convertible into an aggregate of 219.0 million shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.566 per share and issued and sold warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 219.0 million shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). The Investment Agreement and related transactions closed on June 6, 2024 (the “Equity Investment”) and generated gross proceeds of $1.0 billion before deducting fees and offering expenses.

On June 6, 2024, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to effect an 8:1 reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), which reduced the Company’s issued and outstanding share count of common stock from 5.3 million to 0.7 million 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.

Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock

On June 6, 2024, under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company issued 1.0 million shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for an aggregate initial liquidation preference of $1.0 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 219.0 million 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 and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (as defined below). 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 Company’s board of directors 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, 2025, the Company paid $90.0 million of dividends to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the close of the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $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 219.0 million 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.

7. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common 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. Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common share equivalents or the conversion of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation include the Pre-Funded Warrants as the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock unit awards.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by utilizing the most dilutive result of the if-converted and two-class methods. In both methods, net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average common shares outstanding are adjusted to account for the impact of the assumed issuance of potential common shares that are dilutive, subject to dilution sequencing rules.

The following table presents the components and calculations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders:

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold 31.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering, the impact of which was not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share.

The following table includes the number of shares that may be dilutive common shares in the future. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share because the effect was either anti-dilutive or the requisite performance conditions were not met:

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received commitments from investors for investing up to $3.0 billion for the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10,000 per share contingent on a Qualifying Acquisition, the issuance of which may result in dilutive common shares in the future. If issued, the stated value of the Series C Preferred Stock will be, at the option of the holders, convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $23.25 per share.

8. Stock-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, PRSUs, 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 2024 Plan provides that the Plan Share Limit shall automatically increase on January 1 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 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 Compensation and Talent Committee took no action to alter the automatic increase effective January 1, 2026 in the Plan Share Limit under the 2024 Plan. The automatic renewal increased the Plan Share Limit to 62.0 million shares, including shares available for issuance as a result of the Converted Beacon Stock Plan (as defined below), for the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2026.

As part of the Beacon Acquisition, the Company assumed the remaining shares authorized and available for future issuance under the Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. 2024 Stock Plan into the 2024 Plan as of the Closing Date (the “Converted Beacon Stock Plan”), which was adjusted based on the equity award exchange ratio discussed below and subject to certain regulatory limits. As a result, 21.5 million additional shares were added to the 2024 Plan’s Plan Share Limit as of the Closing Date and may only be used to grant equity awards to employees that were former Beacon employees on the Closing Date or QXO employees hired after the Closing Date. A portion of the additional shares were used to grant the Converted RSUs and Converted NSOs (as defined and further discussed below).

As of December 31, 2025, there were 35.2 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2024 Plan.

Beacon Equity Awards

On the Closing Date of the Beacon Acquisition, the Company converted outstanding Beacon stock-based incentive awards issued to Beacon employees under the Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. 2024 Stock Plan at a 9.8380 equity award exchange ratio. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the equity award exchange ratio was determined as the Merger Consideration divided by the volume-weighted average closing sale price of one share of QXO’s common stock for the five consecutive trading days ended April 28, 2025 of $12.64 per share.

Employee-held outstanding Beacon RSUs were converted into corresponding QXO RSUs, subject to the same service-based vesting terms as immediately prior to the Beacon Acquisition. All RSUs held by a non-employee member of the board of directors of Beacon, whether vested or unvested, were accelerated in full and cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) the number of Beacon shares underlying such RSUs. Each outstanding Beacon PRSU was also converted into QXO RSUs, with the performance-based vesting condition deemed satisfied at target and the resulting award subject solely to time-based vesting (collectively, the “Converted RSUs”). All outstanding stock option awards were converted into corresponding QXO NSOs (the “Converted NSOs”). The exercise price of Converted NSOs was adjusted using the equity award exchange ratio such that the award holders maintained the same economic benefit as of the Closing Date.

The total fair value of the Converted RSUs and Converted NSOs was $176.8 million as of the Beacon Acquisition’s Closing Date, of which $87.5 million was related to pre-combination expense and was included as a component of purchase price. The remaining fair value of $89.3 million relates to post-combination expense, of which $59.3 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the future unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the outstanding Converted RSUs was $23.9 million, which will be recognized over a remaining service period of 1.3 years. As of December 31, 2025, the future unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the outstanding Converted NSOs was $0.7 million, which will be recognized over a remaining service period of 0.9 years.

Table of Contents

Converted NSOs

Converted NSOs generally expire 10 years after the grant date and, except under certain conditions, the options are subject to continued employment and vest in three annual installments over the three-year period following the grant date. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 5.1 million of Converted NSOs with a weighted-average exercise price of $5.04, of which 3.8 million were exercised during the period at a weighted-average exercise price of $5.02. There was no other activity related to NSOs during the year ended December 31, 2025.

RSUs

The Company grants RSUs which vest subject to the employee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2025:


(in millions, except for weighted-average grant date fair value)	Number of RSUs	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

Weighted-average fair value per share of RSUs granted and converted	$	13.94	$	11.57
Total grant date fair value of RSUs vested	$	86.0	$	—
Total intrinsic value of RSUs released	$	122.7	$	—

As of December 31, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $148.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years.

PRSUs

The Company grants 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 total stock return compared to the total stock return 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.

The following table summarizes the market-based conditions:


Percentile Position vs. S&P 500 Index Companies	Units Earned as a Percentage of Target
Below 55th Percentile	—	%
55th Percentile	100	%
65th Percentile	150	%
75th Percentile	175	%

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s PRSUs for the year ended December 31, 2025:


(in millions, except for weighted-average grant date fair value)	Number of PRSUs	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at beginning of period	8.4	$	20.24
Granted	0.4	$	18.83


Balance at end of period	8.8	$	20.17

As of December 31, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested PRSUs was $103.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2025, 2.4 million PRSUs with performance goals relating to the Company’s total stock return compared to the total stock return ranking of each company that is in the S&P 500 index for the performance period ended December 31, 2025 vested upon certification of the results by the Compensation and Talent Committee of the Company’s board of directors.

The fair value of PRSUs with a market condition is determined on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo model to simulate total stockholder return for the Company and peer companies. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo model in determining the fair value of PRSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2025		2024
Performance period	3.66 years		4.42 years
Risk-free interest rate	3.8	%	4.0	%
Expected volatility	42.3	%	40.0	%
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.

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. 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.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,

Other Information

All required principal payments on outstanding debt are due after December 31, 2030.

Under the terms of the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the Notes, QXO Building Products is limited in making certain restricted payments, including dividends on its common stock. Based on the provisions in the respective debt agreements and given the Company’s intention to not pay common stock dividends in the foreseeable future, the Company does not believe that the restrictions are significant.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

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.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no state net operating loss carryforwards.

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 a result of the Beacon Acquisition, the Company recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $910.3 million. This consists of $900.4 million of intangible assets and $122.7 million of fixed assets, partially offset by inventories, net operating losses, 163(j) carryforwards, and other deferred tax assets and credit carryforwards of $112.8 million.

The increase in deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024 primarily relates to additional U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards from the current year taxable loss position and increases in the book basis of inventories from the Beacon Acquisition. The increase in deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024 primarily relates to intangible and fixed assets recognized in connection with the Beacon Acquisition, which are not deductible for tax purposes when amortized or depreciated.

Table of Contents

The Company’s non-domestic subsidiary, Beacon Roofing Supply Canada Company (“BRSCC”), is treated as a controlled foreign corporation. BRSCC’s taxable income, which reflects all of the Company’s Canadian operations, is being taxed only in Canada and would generally be taxed in the U.S. only upon an actual or deemed distribution. The Company expects that BRSCC’s earnings will be indefinitely reinvested for the foreseeable future; therefore, no U.S. deferred tax asset or liability for the differences between the book basis and the tax basis of BRSCC has been recorded as of December 31, 2025. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017, future distributions from foreign subsidiaries will generally be subject to a federal dividends received deduction in the U.S. Should the earnings be remitted as dividends, the Company may be subject to additional foreign withholding and state income taxes. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of any additional taxes which may be payable on the undistributed earnings.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no uncertain tax positions which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The following table presents income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by significant federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions for the year ended December 31, 2025. The significant federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions were determined based on a threshold of 5% of total income taxes paid, net of refunds, in accordance with ASU 2023-09.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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). As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This evaluation was conducted using the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Company’s management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is furnished with this Annual Report and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On April 29, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Beacon (see Note 3 – Acquisitions of Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report). In accordance with the SEC’s guidance that a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of management’s assessment for up to one year from the date of acquisition, the Company’s management has excluded Beacon from its evaluation of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, total assets of Beacon represented 86.1% of consolidated total assets of the Company, and total revenues of Beacon represented 99.1% of total revenues of the Company.

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.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On April 29, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Beacon (see Note 3 – Acquisitions of Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report). The Company is currently integrating policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the combined company. Management will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we execute integration activities. During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

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

The predecessor financial information is included as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3 to this Annual Report and are incorporated herein by reference.
