XBP Global Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results
IRVING, Texas, March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XBP Global Holdings, Inc. (“XBP Global” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: XBP), a multinational technology and services company orchestrating mission-critical systems that enable hyper-automation and digital transformation, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Following the transformative acquisition of Exela Technologies BPA, LLC (“BPA”) in July 2025, the Company is reporting results that reflect a significant transition period. To provide a clearer view of the combined business’ performance, the Company has included pro forma metrics alongside reported GAAP results, with reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP metrics in this release, where applicable. Reported results exclude the results of our European operations (“XBP Europe”) until July 31, 2025 and treat BPA as the accounting acquirer. Thus, reported results for the full year 2025 include the historical results of BPA and are not comparable to previous annual earnings results presented by the Company.
Full Year 2025 Highlights
Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights
“2025 was a defining year of transition for XBP Global, as we successfully acquired Exela Technologies BPA and repositioned the new company as XBP Global,” said Andrej Jonovic, Chief Executive Officer of XBP Global. “While our financial results reflect expected revenue adjustments as we addressed legacy performance trends in the acquired business, we have been laser-focused on stabilizing the portfolio and laying the groundwork for a return to growth.
“We have strategically invested in our sales leadership and ramped up our client outreach initiatives to win back business and new client relationships. Additionally, through our focused rollout of AI across functions, we are unlocking significant operating leverage and driving gross margin expansion throughout the business. We enter 2026 with an enhanced suite of agentic AI-driven solutions which will enable more clients to transition from labor-intensive, reactive workflows to orchestrated, exception-driven workflows.”

As Reported

Fourth Quarter 2025 Segment Results 6:
Below are the notes referenced above:
(1) Reported results exclude XBP Europe until July 31, 2025 and treat BPA as the accounting acquirer. Thus, reported results are not comparable to previous annual earnings results presented by the Company.
(2) Financial results are presented on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the acquisition of BPA had been consummated on January 1, 2024.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is attached to this release.
(4) Pro forma results reflect the combined company as if the BPA acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024, and include adjustments to provide period-to-period comparability where the reported results exclude XBP Europe until July 31, 2025.
(5) Total Contract Value (“TCV”) represents the initial estimated revenue related to contracts signed in the period without regard for early termination or revenue recognition rules. Changes to contracts and scope are treated as TCV only to the extent of the incremental new value. New TCV represents TCV attributable to expansion and new scope for existing clients, as well as TCV attributable to new clients. Annual contract value (“ACV”) represents the annualized value of the TCV, calculated by dividing the TCV of each individual contract by its respective duration in years.

About Pro Forma Financial Information
This press release includes certain pro forma financial information, which is presented for informational purposes only and is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pro forma results are presented on an unaudited basis as if the acquisition of BPA had been consummated on January 1, 2024, regardless of the actual closing date.
For financial reporting purposes, BPA is treated as the accounting acquirer, and results exclude XBP Europe until July 31, 2025. As a result, reported results for periods prior to July 31, 2025 are not comparable to previous annual earnings results presented by the Company.
Pro forma financial information is intended to provide investors with a clearer understanding of the underlying performance and trends of the combined business by illustrating the impact of the acquisition on historical results. These results are designed to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and enhance transparency into ongoing operations.
Pro forma information is based on certain assumptions and adjustments, including the elimination of intercompany transactions, acquisition-related costs, and the alignment of accounting policies, as described in the accompanying tables and footnotes. This information is unaudited and does not purport to represent what actual results would have been had the acquisition occurred at the dates indicated, nor does it project future results.
Pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with historical financial statements, related notes, and the pro forma adjustments and explanatory notes included in this release.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
These measures provide investors with additional insight into financial performance, results of operations, and liquidity, and help facilitate comparisons of underlying business trends across periods. Management uses these measures to evaluate performance consistently by excluding the effects of capital structure (such as varying debt levels, interest expense, and transaction costs from acquisitions).
We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus non-recurring transaction costs, non-cash equity compensation, restructuring and related expenses, loss/(gain) on sale of assets, impairment of goodwill and other non-recurring items such as reorganization items. We define Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA plus management’s estimates of the impact of the accounting acquisition of XBP Europe and reorganization of BPA, had such transactions occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to liquidity or financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of these measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income required by GAAP to be recorded in the financial statements. In addition, the determination of which items to exclude or include involves management judgment, and these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
These measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are unaudited, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and their presentation may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Net loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to the non-GAAP measures presented here. For a reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, see the schedules attached to this release.
