Description of Business

Quantum Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Quantum” or the “Company”), stores and manages digital video and other forms of unstructured data, providing streaming performance for video and rich media applications, along with low-cost, long-term storage systems for data protection and archiving. The Company helps customers around the world capture, create and share digital data and preserve and protect it for decades. The Company’s software-defined, hyperconverged storage solutions span from non-volatile memory express (“NVMe”), to solid state drives (“SSD”), hard disk drives, (“HDD”), tape and the cloud and are tied together leveraging a single namespace view of the entire data environment. The Company works closely with a broad network of distributors, value-added resellers (“VARs”), direct marketing resellers (“DMRs”), original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and other suppliers to meet customers’ evolving needs.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within the Annual Report.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring items, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2024, the results of operations and comprehensive loss, statements of cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ deficit for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

Reverse Stock Split

On August 15, 2024, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at a ratio ranging from 1 share-for-5 shares up to a ratio of to 1-for-20 shares, with the exact ratio, if any, to be selected by the board of directors (the “Board”) and set forth in a public announcement. On August 15, 2024, the Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of August 26, 2024 at 4:01 p.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, every twenty issued shares of Common Stock were automatically reclassified into one issued share of Common Stock, with any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split rounded up to the nearest whole share. The number of outstanding shares of common stock was reduced from approximately 95.9 million shares to approximately 4.8 million shares.

All share and per share amounts for Common Stock in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. In the Annual Report, it was stated that the Company believed it was probable that it would be in violation of the net leverage covenant at the next testing date which was July 2024. With the signing of the August 2024 Amendments, this testing requirement has been waived and the Company is currently in compliance with all covenants. Further, the August 2024 Amendments provide the Company with revised covenants and additional liquidity such that the Company believes that it will continue as a going concern and the substantial doubt no longer exists. See Note 4: Debt for further details.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of standalone selling price for revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations, inventory adjustments, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, stock-based compensation, fair value of warrants, and provision for income taxes including related reserves. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is comprised of bank guarantees and similar required minimum balances that serve as cash collateral in connection with various items including insurance requirements, value added taxes, ongoing tax audits and leases in certain countries.
