Quantum Announces Timing for the Reporting of Financial Results and other Business Matters

Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) ("Quantum" or the "Company"), a leader in solutions for AI and unstructured data, announced today it will release financial results for its full year fiscal 2024 ended March 31, 2024 on Monday, June 17, 2024 after markets close. Jamie Lerner, Chairman and CEO, and Kenneth Gianella, Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call on the same day. Conference call information will follow in the coming days. The timing of the filing and conference call is in conjunction with the Company’s conclusion of its review of previously announced accounting matters.

Update on Accounting Matters

The Company also announced that it has completed its analysis of the Company's past application of standalone selling price (“SSP”) under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606") relating to the classification and recognition of aspects of the Company’s revenue.

Based on this analysis, which was supported by outside experts, the Company currently estimates an increase in previously reported revenue and net income for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, including for each of the first three fiscal quarters in such fiscal years, as well as the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2023. These estimated revenue adjustments would decrease the deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet for the corresponding periods. The adjustments, due to the application of SSP, does not impact the Company’s invoicing, cash, or contractual obligations to its customers. This is purely an accounting adjustment under its updated application of SSP under ASC 606. During this process, the Company found no evidence of fraud or intentional misconduct associated with its revenue recognition process.

Additionally, during the Company’s in-depth analysis of its prior financial statements, it identified a series of outstanding warrant agreements issued to its prior and current lenders in 2018, 2020, and 2023, which required further evaluation under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815 (“Topic 815”). After consulting with external advisors, the Company concluded that its prior classification of warrants as equity was not consistent with Topic 815 and has restated them as a liability. This restatement also requires accounting for the associated change in the fair value of the warrants through the income statement. The Company will now include the warrant liability adjustments for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, including for each of the first three fiscal quarters in such years, as well as the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2023. The impact from the revised liability accounting treatment for outstanding warrants is estimated to increase net income in all restated periods. This change of accounting for outstanding warrants does not impact the Company’s ongoing operations or its obligations to prior or current lenders.

As a result of the changes described above, the Company intends to restate its financial statements for the prior reported periods referenced above. The Company intends to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K covering the restated periods with both the revised SSP and warrant classification on Monday, June 17, 2024.

Other Business Updates

Also today, Quantum announced a revised agreement with its lenders to amend the Company’s existing term loan and revolving credit agreements. These amendments, among other things, waived the total net leverage ratio financial covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
