Full results are expected later this month. 

QXO, Inc. (“QXO” or the “Company”) (NYSE: QXO) today announced the following preliminary financial information for the third quarter of 2026. The Company expects to report its full third quarter 2026 results on November 12, 2026.

Third quarter 2026 summary preliminary results

• Net sales of approximately $4.90 billion, up 79% from $2.73 billion in the third quarter of 2025

Third quarter 2026 results include the results of Kodiak Building Partners, Inc. from April 1, 2026 and TopBuild Corp. from July 1, 2026, the respective dates of acquisition, neither of which is included in third quarter 2025 results.

The Company’s preliminary unaudited financial results in this press release for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 are preliminary, unaudited and subject to completion, and may change as a result of management’s continued review. Such preliminary results are subject to the finalization of quarter-end financial and accounting procedures. The preliminary financial results represent management estimates that constitute forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties. As a result, the preliminary financial results may differ from the actual results when they are completed and publicly disclosed. These preliminary results should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full third quarter financial statements and do not present all information necessary for a complete understanding of financial performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures

As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the financial table attached to this press release reconciles Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-GAAP financial measures, to their most directly comparable measures under GAAP.

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.

The following expenses are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA:

• Restructuring costs. Represent severance and employee-related costs and abandoned lease costs associated with a restructuring plan that is expected to yield annualized savings but excludes stock-based compensation expense recognized as a result of a restructuring plan.
• Transaction costs. Represent certain direct and incremental costs related to M&A activities. Transaction costs are impacted by the timing and size of the acquisitions.
• Transformation costs. Represent certain direct costs for strategic investments to modernize our business and operations and to integrate acquired businesses into QXO, such as: rebranding costs, retention costs for key employees of acquired businesses, IT infrastructure transformation costs, costs incurred to invest in new technologies such as artificial intelligence, and costs associated with non-recurring transformational initiatives to improve or optimize business operations. These costs are directed at optimizing the Company’s processes to modernize the Company’s operations.

We have 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.
