QXO Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

QXO, Inc. (NYSE: QXO) today announced its financial results for the first quarter 2025. The company reported a loss of $(0.03) per basic and diluted share attributable to common shareholders.

Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of QXO, said, “With our $11 billion acquisition of Beacon completed, we’re off to a good start toward becoming the leading tech-enabled company in the $800 billion building products distribution industry. Now it’s time to apply our proven playbook to make an already great business even better.”

First Quarter Highlights

Total revenue for the quarter was $13.5 million, compared with $14.4 million for the same period in 2024. Software product revenue was $3.5 million, compared with $3.5 million for the same period in 2024. Service and other revenue was $10.0 million, compared with $11.0 million for the same period in 2024.

Net income, inclusive of $56.6 million interest income, was $8.8 million.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was negative $8.9 million, compared with positive $0.5 million for the same period in 2024. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA relates to higher employee-related costs, reflecting the introduction of a new senior management team to execute QXO’s expansive growth plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

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

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