KORE Group Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Basis of Presentation

KORE Group Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “KORE” or the “Company”) provides advanced connectivity services, location-based services, device solutions, managed and professional services used in the development and support of the “Internet of Things” (“IoT”) technology for the business market. The Company’s IoT platform is delivered in partnership with the world’s largest mobile network operators and provides secure, reliable, wireless connectivity to mobile and fixed devices. This technology enables the Company to expand its global technology platform by transferring capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and delivers complementary products to channel partners and resellers worldwide.

The Company is incorporated in the state of Delaware and its operations are primarily located in North America. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “KORE”. The Company implemented a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5 effective as of July 1, 2024. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split, regardless of the fractional amount, resulted in an additional one share in lieu of such fractional share. The number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants outstanding at the effective time of the reverse stock split was reduced to one-fifth the number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants immediately preceding the reverse stock split, and the exercise price per share was increased by five times the exercise price immediately preceding the reverse stock split, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise thereof as was required immediately preceding the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split did not affect the shares of preferred stock outstanding. All calculations have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of revenue recognition, fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, assessments of indicators of impairment regarding various assets including goodwill, calculation of capitalized software costs, accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in these estimates may occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material.

Change in Accounting Estimate — Depreciation of Property and Equipment

On January 1, 2024, the Company elected to change its method of depreciation for long-lived assets from the declining balance method to the straight-line method. The Company’s use of the straight-line depreciation method was effective beginning January 1, 2024, and has been applied prospectively as a change in estimate.

Reclassifications

Certain immaterial amounts reported in prior periods in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been corrected and reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. To appropriately reflect the long-term nature of the obligation regarding the interest accrued on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, the amount of “accrued interest due to affiliate” of $2.5 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been reclassified to noncurrent liabilities. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price in contracts allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, at the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustments for revenue that have not materialized, and adjustments for currency. As of June 30, 2024 the Company had approximately $13.5 million of remaining performance obligations on contracts with an original duration of one year or more. The Company expects to recognize approximately 52% of these remaining performance obligations in 2024, with the remaining balance recognized thereafter.

The Company has variable consideration of approximately $2.4 million that was constrained revenue and excluded from the transaction price for the period ended June 30, 2024. There were no material instances where variable consideration was constrained and not recorded at the initial time of sale for the period ended June 30, 2023.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company did not have material costs related to obtaining a contract, or fulfilling a contract that are not addressed by other accounting standards, with amortization periods greater than one year for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The following table sets forth the details of the Company’s accounts receivable, net balances included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(in thousands)June 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Accounts receivable$47,081 $52,843 
Less: allowance for credit losses(414)(430)
Accounts receivable, net$46,667 $52,413 

As of January 1, 2023, the Company’s accounts receivable balance was $44.5 million. The bad debt expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and immaterial for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The bad debt expense was $0.4 million and $0.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The write-offs and recoveries were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

NOTE 4 – GOODWILL

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on October 1 of each year, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company identified circumstances prior to its annual goodwill test that indicated that it was “more likely than not” that the fair value of the reporting unit (the Company) was below its carrying value. The Company therefore performed qualitative and quantitative goodwill impairment tests during the second quarter of 2024. The qualitative impairment indicators noted include a sustained decline in the Company’s share price, decreasing cash flows, lower actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods, and changes in management.

The fair value of the Company was estimated by equally weighing the results of an income approach and market approach. Valuation techniques utilized were substantially considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs included the Company’s internal forecasts of its future results, cash flows, and its weighted average cost of capital. Key assumptions used in the impairment analysis included projected revenue growth rates, discount rates, and market factors such as earnings multiples from comparable publicly traded companies.

KORE Group Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As a result of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Company exceeded its estimated fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment loss of approximately $45.4 million, which represents the impairment loss subsequent to December 31, 2023, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. No such impairment charges were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are complex financial instruments. The Company does not use derivatives to manage financial risks or as an economic hedge. The Company’s sole derivative instrument arose as part of the issuance of Series A-1 preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A-1 preferred stock”), to Searchlight, in which transaction Searchlight was also granted Penny Warrants (historically referred to as “Penny Warrants,” however the exercise price has been adjusted to $0.05 per warrant due to the reverse stock split). The Penny Warrants are considered a freestanding derivative instrument, as they are separable and legally detachable from the Series A-1 preferred stock, were issued for nominal or no apparent consideration, and have the essential characteristics inherent in a derivative instrument of a notional amount, an underlying security, and a mechanism for net settlement.

The following table sets forth the details of the derivative instrument presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and notional amounts as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(1) The number of shares of common stock covered by warrants outstanding at the effective time of the reverse stock split was reduced to one-fifth the number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants immediately preceding the reverse stock split, and the exercise price per share was increased by five times the exercise price immediately preceding the reverse stock split, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise thereof as was required immediately preceding the reverse stock split.

The gains and losses arising from this derivative instrument in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (1) are set forth as follows:

(1) No such instruments existed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023; therefore, there were no gains or losses from such instruments during those periods.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., the Company’s own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s valuation policies and processes had not changed from those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements, with the exception of the valuation of the Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock Due to Affiliate. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined that a lattice model indicated a more accurate approximation of the fair value of this debt for disclosure purposes rather than the discounted cash flow model previously used. The Company noted that the value derived from a discounted cash flow model was not significantly different than the fair value approximation as determined by a lattice model; however, a lattice model was considered to be more relevant to the inputs used in determining the Company’s implied fair value of debt as a significant input to the Company’s impairment testing, which occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as a triggering event was deemed to have occurred (see Note 4 — Goodwill). This debt was not in existence at previous impairment testing dates.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The Company is required to measure its warrant liabilities at fair value for the Penny Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, which are both included in “warrant liabilities to affiliates” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
11

KORE Group Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Penny Warrants

The Penny Warrants, issued in 2023, are marked to fair value by reference to the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the last day of the reporting period, less the exercise price, and are therefore considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s stock as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, less the exercise price, resulted in a Penny Warrants valuation of approximately $5.0 million and $11.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants are marked to fair value by reference to the fair value of the Company’s public warrants, which are therefore considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The public warrants were traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol KORE.WS until December 2023, at which point the listing transferred to the OTC Pink Marketplace under the ticker symbol KORGW. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate value of the Private Placement Warrants was zero, as the reference price of the KORGW warrants was less than one cent per warrant.

Financial Instruments Held at Amortized Cost for Which Fair Value is Disclosed

Financial instruments for which cost approximates fair value

Cash, including restricted cash, is stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable (including contract assets), accounts payable, and accrued liabilities (including contract liabilities) approximate fair value, due to their short-term maturities.

Additional disclosures regarding Level 3 unobservable inputs - Backstop Notes

Additional disclosures regarding Level 3 unobservable inputs - Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock Due to Affiliate

As of June 30, 2024, we used a third‑party valuation firm who utilizes proprietary methodologies to value our Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock Due to Affiliate. This firm used a lattice modeling technique to determine the fair value of this liability determined as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2024. Use of this technique requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs such as credit spreads and equity volatility based on guideline companies, as well as other valuation assumptions. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On May 3, 2024, pursuant to the mutual agreement of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Romil Bahl, Mr. Bahl stepped down as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a member of the Board. All shares of stock and prices per share as described below have been adjusted for the reverse split. There was no resulting change to the total value of the awards as a result of the reverse split.

In connection with this mutual agreement, the previously unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with only time-vesting provisions accelerated to vest on May 3, 2024. Accordingly, 411,942 RSUs vested, with 177,948 shares withheld for taxes, for a net settlement of 233,994 shares of common stock issued in conjunction with these RSUs. The acceleration of the expense resulted in an increase of $4.8 million to “selling, general, and administrative expenses” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which was partially offset by certain reversals of expense relating to other of Mr. Bahl’s one market-based grant, as further described below, and a partial reversal of performance share unit awards (“PSU”) overall based on the Company’s current expectations around meeting the performance metrics (which was also applicable to all participants with unvested PSUs).

Further to the mutual agreement, Mr. Bahl’s unvested PSUs are to vest if and when they vest for individuals employed by the Company. The 2022 PSU award and the 2023 PSU award will vest fully in 2025 and 2026, respectively, should the criteria be met.

Finally, Mr. Bahl’s unvested market-based RSU award of 40,000 shares was forfeited in accordance with the terms of the award agreement. The market conditions associated with this award required vesting on the day after the closing price of the Company’s common stock achieved five dollars per share or higher for at least twenty days out of any consecutive thirty-day period ending on or prior to June 30, 2026. The fair value of the RSUs was previously estimated to be $0.40 per RSU using a Monte-Carlo simulation model considering the term, volatility, risk-free rates and the vesting conditions, including service through June 30, 2026. The expense previously recorded on these RSUs was reversed, as the service condition of the award will not be met. Reversal of this expense resulted in an immaterial decrease to “selling, general, and administrative expenses” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

NOTE 9 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

The Company implemented a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock effective July 1, 2024. All calculations have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented.

(1) Due to the Company’s net loss, all unvested equity awards, and the Private Placement Warrants are anti-dilutive. The dilutive convertible instruments of the Backstop Notes are out of the money.

In determining the weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 for both basic and diluted earnings per share, the Company included the Penny Warrants issued to Searchlight in transactions dated November 15, 2023 and December 13, 2023, as the common shares of stock that would be issuable upon the exercise of such warrants are issuable for nominal consideration per share of common stock or cashless exercise at the option of Searchlight. The Penny Warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance, although no such warrants had been exercised as of June 30, 2024.

Set forth in the table below is the number of securities not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive:

Private Placement Warrants (2)
272,779 272,779 272,779 272,779 

(1) Common stock issuable under the Backstop Notes is presented at the maximum number of shares of common stock potentially issuable upon the exercise of the Backstop Notes, although the actual potentially issuable shares remain limited at 9.9% of the common stock outstanding.
(2) The number of shares of common stock covered by warrants outstanding at the effective time of the reverse stock split was reduced to one-fifth the number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants immediately preceding the reverse stock split, and the exercise price per share was increased by five times the exercise price immediately preceding the reverse stock split, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise thereof as was required immediately preceding the reverse stock split.

Unvested restricted stock units with “time and performance conditions” are excluded from the disclosure of the number of potentially anti-dilutive securities because the performance conditions were not met at the end of the reporting periods. Therefore, these securities are not considered to be contingently issuable for purposes of dilutive EPS or anti-dilution calculations.

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with affiliates of the Company

Searchlight

Searchlight beneficially owned approximately 14% and 13% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, through its ownership of the Penny Warrants. Searchlight is therefore considered an affiliate of the Company, and two of the Company’s Board members are employed by Searchlight. Searchlight owns the Series A-1 preferred stock and the Penny Warrants.

Searchlight, as the current sole owner of the Series A-1 preferred stock, is solely owed the accrued interest arising from the Series A-1 preferred stock outstanding, which interest is referred to in the Series A-1 preferred stock Certificate of Designations as “Dividends”. The “dividend rate” means, initially, 13% per annum, and dividends on each share of Series A-1 preferred stock shall (i) accrue on the liquidation preference of such share and on any accrued dividends on such share, on a daily basis from and including the issuance date of such share, whether or not declared, whether or not the Company has earnings and whether or not the Company has assets legally available to make payment thereof, at a rate equal to the dividend rate, (ii) compound quarterly and (iii) be payable quarterly in arrears, in accordance with the section, below, on each dividend payment date, commencing on December 31, 2023. Dividends on the Series A-1 preferred stock shall accrue on the basis of a 365-day year based on actual days elapsed. The amount of dividends payable with respect to any share of Series A-1 preferred stock for any dividend payment period shall equal the sum of the daily dividend amounts accrued with respect to such share during such dividend payment period.

Dividends on the Series A-1 preferred stock shall be payable in cash only if, as and when declared by the Board, and, if not declared by the Board, the amount of accrued Dividends shall be automatically increased, without any action on the part of the Company or any other person, in an amount equal to the amount of the Dividend to be paid. For further clarity, if the Board does not declare and pay in cash, or the Company otherwise for any reason fails to pay in cash, on any dividend payment date, the full amount of any accrued and unpaid Dividend on the Series A-1 preferred stock since the most recent dividend payment date, then the amount of such unpaid Dividend shall automatically be added to the amount of accrued Dividends on such share on the applicable dividend payment date without any action on the part of the Company or any other person.

Cerberus Telecom Acquisition Corp. (“CTAC”)

CTAC was the initial private equity sponsor of the Company, and two of the Company’s Board members are employed by CTAC. CTAC is therefore considered an affiliate of the Company. CTAC owns over 5% but less than 10% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

Affiliates of CTAC own the Private Placement Warrants.

ABRY Partners, LLC (“ABRY”)

ABRY beneficially owned approximately 29% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. ABRY is therefore considered an affiliate of the Company, and two of the Company’s Board members are employed by ABRY.

HealthEZ, an ABRY portfolio company, is the Company’s health insurance third-party administrator. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the administration costs incurred with HealthEZ were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the administration costs incurred with HealthEZ were $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Aggregate expenses are recorded as a component of “selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred with affiliates” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

A.P. Lubrano & Company, Inc. (“APL”), owned by an ABRY affiliated entity, is the Registered Investment Advisor for the Company’s U.S. 401(k) plan. As part of its fiduciary responsibilities, APL provides investment advisory services, including portfolio management, investment selection and ongoing monitoring of plan assets. The compensation for APL’s advisory services is determined by the applicable basis point charge and the total dollar amount of each participant’s plan assets held by APL. Specifically, each participant in the Company’s U.S. 401(k) plan is charged fees of 20 basis point of the value of the participant’s individual plan assets.

Transactions with affiliates of one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company located in Brazil maintained an office lease and professional services agreement with a company controlled by a key member of the subsidiary’s management team. The office lease and professional services agreement with this affiliate were terminated on June 29, 2023, and thus, no such expenses were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Aggregate expenses incurred for these transactions were $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and are recorded as a component of “selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred with affiliates” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

KORE Group Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The same wholly-owned subsidiary had an informal services agreement with a separate company controlled by two key members of the Company’s management team. This services agreement was entered into to render technical assistance services to purchase and deliver telecommunication equipment to the Company’s clients in Brazil, for which the affiliate was paid a nominal monthly fixed fee plus a fee of 7% of the gross amount of the cost incurred to purchase and deliver telecommunication equipment to the Company’s clients in Brazil. These expenses are recorded as a component of “selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred with affiliates” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the relevant periods as disclosed below.

The service agreement with this affiliate was terminated on February 14, 2023, and thus, no such expenses were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $0.1 million to this affiliate.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indirect Taxes

The Company, assisted by third party experts, is currently conducting a review of potential obligations surrounding indirect taxes, specifically, sales and telecommunications taxes. At the current time, the Company has had no actual or threatened claims arising from any governmental authority in any taxing jurisdiction in the United States where the Company does business regarding claims for any indirect tax liabilities emerging from any potential sales and telecommunications tax that may be owed to any such state or local governments in the various aforementioned taxing jurisdictions. However, a liability for sales and telecommunications tax may be asserted by a governmental authority if that authority determines that the Company is engaged in often-taxable “telecommunications services” rather than providing “internet access,” which is not taxable in any jurisdiction by federal law. The determination of if a service provided is defined as “telecommunications services” or “internet access” may be highly subjective, open to interpretation, and can depend upon extremely intricate technical factors and specific fact patterns which may vary by customer and use case. Furthermore, some taxing jurisdictions may not levy taxes on telecommunications services, while others do, and some taxing jurisdictions are at the state level, while others exist at the local level, including by municipality in some states.

The Company believes that it is probable that a liability for sales and telecommunications tax may exist. The Company initially estimated the possible range of loss in this matter as between $1.8 million and $18.1 million. The low end of the possible range of loss, which is the amount required to be recorded as a contingent loss by GAAP, is substantially unchanged from the low end of the possible range of loss as of December 31, 2023, and no additional loss or recovery estimates have been recorded for the period ended June 30, 2024.

The range of loss in this matter described above includes anticipation of recoveries from third parties at the low end, and no recoveries from third parties anticipated at the high end of the range, with interest and penalties assessed at both the low and high ends of the range, with penalties reduced in states where the Company intends to seek a “voluntary disclosure arrangement” as described further below. Although the Company’s contracts with customers generally state that the customer must later pay associated taxes if such taxes become an issue, there is always a risk of customer non-payment. Due to the complexities involved in its number of customers, use cases, and jurisdictions in which it does business, along with the treatment of potential indirect taxes varying in each jurisdiction, and collectability estimates, this estimate may ultimately be resolved at either a greater or lesser amount than the estimated range.

Additionally, mitigating factors may exist, such as good-faith reseller certificates, which the Company has previously obtained in instances where the use case indicates that the customer is a reseller, private letter rulings that the Company may request from certain states where the specific tax law is unclear but may be resolved in the Company’s favor, and voluntary disclosure arrangements whereby the Company may determine that it is probable that tax would be owed and enter into an agreement with a taxing jurisdiction to pay back taxes and avoid penalties that would otherwise likely apply.

The Company expects this matter to be settled within the next twelve months, and thus, the net contingent liability estimate of $1.8 million remains accrued in “accrued liabilities” within “current liabilities” of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Purchase Obligations

The Company has vendor commitments primarily relating to carrier and open purchase obligations that the Company incurs in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2024, the purchase commitments were as follows:

Legal Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation relating to claims arising in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was not aware of any legal claims that could materially impact its financial condition.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective July 1, 2024, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5.

On August 14, 2024, the Company announced a restructuring plan to streamline operations and reduce costs. It is estimated that the plan will impact between 170 and 240 employees and contractors in all areas across all functions. The Company estimates that it will incur restructuring charges approximately between $5.0 million and $6.0 million in connection with the plan during the third quarter of 2024. These charges are primarily related to severance payments and employee benefits. The Company expects substantially all of the actions associated with the plan to be completed by December 31, 2024.

The estimate of the charges that the Company expects to incur in connection with the plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local employment law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the plan.

Overview

We offer IoT connectivity to the Internet (“Connectivity”) and other IoT solutions (“IoT Solutions”) to our customers. We are one of the largest global independent IoT enablers, delivering critical services globally to customers to deploy, manage, and scale their IoT application and use cases. We provide advanced connectivity services, location-based services, device solutions, and managed and professional services used in the development and support of IoT solutions and applications. Our IoT platform is delivered in partnership with the world’s largest mobile network operators and provides secure, reliable, wireless Internet connectivity to mobile and fixed devices. This technology enables us to expand our global technology platform by transferring capabilities across our five vertical markets comprised of (i) Connected Health, (ii) Fleet Management, (iii) Asset Monitoring, (iv) Retail Communications Services and (v) Industrial IoT, and to deliver complementary products to channel partners and resellers worldwide.

Our industry verticals are not considered to be segments for the purposes of financial reporting, as discrete financial information is not available for the aforementioned verticals (or that of connectivity vs solutions) below the level of costs of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, and our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. Our CODM is our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ronald Totton.

Trends and Recent Developments

Overall macroeconomic environment and its effect on us

Trends in the overall U.S. economy in the first six months of 2024 reflected an uncertain economic environment, which included sustained high interest rates in the U.S., uncertainty surrounding an upcoming U.S. presidential election, and regional conflicts around the world, all of which increase the unpredictability of the overall macroeconomic outlook for the remainder of 2024. Additionally, the U.S. unemployment rate has continued to increase over 2024, with the metric of long-term unemployment comprising nearly a quarter of unemployed individuals, which is an indicator of increasing softness in the U.S. economy.

At this time, we generally expect revenue derived from the Connectivity verticals of our business to remain fairly stable, given the “stickiness” of this revenue, while the more volatile IoT Managed Services (or “IoTMS”) business verticals consisting of Solutions and Products may experience uneven revenue on both an actual and projected basis. We expect that IoTMS projects may be delayed by customers, due to overall macroeconomic conditions. We further expect that the overall IoT market may become more competitive from a pricing standpoint, and that our existing customers will continue to seek efficiency in terms of their operating expenses, all of which may create pressure on our revenue.

Recent developments in our business

Effective on May 3, 2024, pursuant to the mutual agreement of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Romil Bahl, Mr. Bahl stepped down as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a member of the Board. Also effective on May 3, 2024, Ronald Totton was appointed by the Board as our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.

On June 12, 2024, at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “common stock”), at a ratio of not less than 1-for-4 and not greater than 1-for-10 (or any whole number in between). The Board subsequently determined that the ratio of the reverse stock split should be 1-for-5 and the reverse stock split with that ratio became effective as of July 1, 2024.

On August 14, 2024, as disclosed in Part II, Item 5. “Other Information” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we announced a restructuring plan to streamline operations and reduce costs. It is estimated that the plan will impact between 170 and 240 employees and contractors in all areas across all functions. We estimate that we will incur restructuring charges approximately between $5.0 million and $6.0 million in connection with the plan during the third quarter of 2024. These charges are primarily related to severance payments and employee benefits. We expect substantially all of the actions associated with the plan to be completed by December 31, 2024.

The estimate of the charges that we expect to incur in connection with the plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local employment law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, we may incur other charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the plan.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Revenue

We derive revenue from IoT Connectivity services and IoT Solutions services (collectively, the “Services”) as well as products including IoT Connectivity (consisting of subscriber identity module (“SIM”) cards) and IoT devices (within a comprehensive IoT solution) together referred to as “Products”.

Revenue arising from IoT Connectivity services generally consists of a monthly subscription fee and additional data usage fees that are part of a bundled solution which enables other providers and enterprise customers to complete their platforms for solutions to provide IoT Connectivity or other IoT Solutions. IoT Connectivity also includes charges for each SIM sold to a customer.

Revenue from IoT Solutions is derived from IoT device management services, location-based software services, and IoT security software services. Fees charged for device management services include the cost of the underlying IoT device and the cost of deploying and managing such devices. Fees charged for device management services are generally billed on the basis of a fee per deployed IoT device, which depends on the scope of the underlying services and the IoT device being deployed. Location-based software services and IoT security software services are charged monthly on a per-subscriber basis.

The tables below set forth the details of revenue from services and products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Three Months Ended June 30,Year-over-Year Increase / (Decrease)
($ in thousands)20242023$%
Services$57,318 $51,023 $6,295 12 %
Products10,550 18,513 (7,963)(43)%
Total revenue$67,868 $69,536 $(1,668)(2)%

Six Months Ended June 30,Year-over-Year Increase / (Decrease)
($ in thousands)20242023$%
Services$116,958 $98,573 $18,385 19 %
Products26,885 36,938 (10,053)(27)%
Total revenue$143,843 $135,511 $8,332 6 %

Services revenue increased by $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in services revenue was primarily driven by the acquisition of Twilio, Inc.’s (“Twilio”) IoT business, and the residual growth was driven by new customer business and increased connectivity utilization in our existing customer base.

Products revenue decreased by $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in products revenue was primarily driven by reduced demand from our largest customers, as they applied greater emphasis on inventory management and order fulfillment. In addition, we made the decision at the end of 2023 to accept fewer less-profitable hardware deals in 2024.

Services revenue increased by $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in services revenue was primarily driven by the acquisition of Twilio’s IoT business, and the residual growth was driven by new customer business and increased connectivity utilization in our existing customer base.

Products revenue decreased by $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in products revenue was primarily driven by reduced demand from our largest customers, as they applied greater emphasis on inventory management and order fulfillment. In addition, we made the decision at the end of 2023 to accept fewer less-profitable hardware deals in 2024.

* Not meaningful

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses incurred with affiliates related solely to fees paid to HealthEZ, an ABRY Partners, LLC (“ABRY”) portfolio company. HealthEZ is the Company’s third-party health insurance administrator. ABRY beneficially owned approximately 29% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. ABRY is therefore considered an affiliate of the Company, and two of the Company’s Board members are employed by ABRY.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, SG&A expenses incurred with affiliates related to expenses incurred to HealthEZ for administration of our health insurance plan, along with technical assistance services, rent, and professional services to two companies controlled by a key member of our subsidiary’s management team. We terminated the technical assistance services agreement on February 14, 2023 and the termination of the office lease and professional services agreement on June 29, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In conjunction with net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, we also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that along with our GAAP financial information, our non-GAAP financial information when taken collectively and evaluated appropriately, is helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain unusual and other significant items and removes the volatility associated with non-cash items and operational income and expenses that are not expected to be ongoing. Such adjustments include goodwill impairment charges, changes in the fair value of certain of our warrants required by GAAP to be accounted for at fair value, gains or losses on debt extinguishment, “transformation expenses” as defined below, acquisition costs, integration-related restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, and foreign currency gains and losses.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Adjusted EBITDA$11,420 $14,239 $26,177 $27,567 

(1) “Other” adjustments are comprised of adjustments for certain indirect or non-income based taxes.

Transformation expenses are related to the implementation of our strategic transformation plan and include the costs of a re-write of our core technology platform, expenses incurred to design certain new IoT Solutions, and “go-to-market” capabilities. These expenses were completed in 2023.

Integration-related restructuring costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily comprised of retention bonuses, severances, license and subscription fees, and professional services related to integration of previously acquired businesses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, these costs were primarily associated with legal, accounting diligence, quality of earnings, valuation, and search expenses related to the acquisition of the Twilio IoT business.

Key Operational Metrics

We review a number of operational metrics to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. The operational metrics identified by management as key operational metrics are Total Number of Connections, Average Connections, Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate, Total Contract Value, and Average Revenue per User.

Total Number of Connections and Average Connections

Our “Total Number of Connections at period end” constitutes the total of all our IoT Connectivity services connections, which includes the contribution of eSIMs but excludes certain connections where mobile carriers license our subscription management platform from us. The “Average Connections Count” is the simple average of the total connections during the relevant fiscal period(s) presented.

These metrics are the principal measures used by management to assess the growth of the business on a periodic basis, on a SIM and / or device-based perspective. We believe that investors also use these metrics for similar purposes.

The table below sets forth our Total Number of Connections as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

June 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Total Number of Connections at period end18.6 million18.5 million

The table below sets forth our Average Connections Count for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

June 30, 2024June 30, 2023
Average Connections Count for the three months ended 18.5 million16.5 million
Average Connections Count for the six months ended18.3  million15.8  million
    

25


Period-end and average connections as of both periods presented and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included an increase of approximately 3.5 million connections related to the acquisition of Twilio’s IoT business.

Dollar Based Net Expansion Rate (“DBNER”)

DBNER tracks the combined effect of cross-sales of IoT Solutions to KORE’s existing customers, its customer retention and the growth of its existing business. KORE calculates DBNER by dividing the revenue for a given period (“given period”) from existing go-forward customers by the revenue from the same customers for the same period measured one year prior (“base period”).

The revenue included in the current period excludes revenue from (i) customers that are “non-go-forward” customers, meaning customers that have either communicated to KORE before the last day of the current period their intention not to provide future business to KORE or customers that KORE has determined are transitioning away from KORE based on a sustained multi-year time period of declines in revenue and (ii) new customers that started generating revenue after the end of the base period. For the purposes of calculating DBNER, if KORE acquires a company during the given period or the base period, then the revenue of a customer before the acquisition but during either the given period or the base period is included in the calculation. For example, to calculate our DBNER for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2024, we divide (i) revenue, for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2024, from go-forward customers that started generating revenue on or before June 30, 2023, by (ii) revenue, for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2023, from the same cohort of customers.

It is often difficult to ascertain which customers should be deemed not to be go-forward customers for purposes of calculating DBNER. Customers are not required to give notice of their intention to transition off of the KORE platform, and a customer’s exit from the KORE platform can take months or longer, and total connections of any particular customer can at any time increase or decrease for any number of reasons, including pricing, customer satisfaction or product fit—accordingly, a decrease in total connections may not indicate that a customer is intending to exit the KORE platform, particularly if that decrease is not sustained over a period of several quarters. DBNER would be lower if it were calculated using revenue from non-go-forward customers.

DBNER is used by management as a measure of growth of KORE’s existing customers (i.e., “same store” growth) and as a measure of customer retention, from a revenue perspective. It is not intended to capture the effect of either new customer wins or the declines from non-go-forward customers on KORE’s total revenue growth. This is because DBNER excludes new customers who started generating revenue after the base period and also excludes any customers who are non-go-forward customers on the last day of the current period. Revenue increases from new customer wins, and a decline in revenue from non-go-forward customers are also important factors in assessing KORE’s revenue growth, but these factors are independent of DBNER.

KORE’s DBNER was 92% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 99% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to decreased IoT solutions revenue from certain IoT Solutions customers.

Total Contract Value (“TCV”)

TCV represents our estimated value of a revenue opportunity. TCV for an IoT Connectivity opportunity is calculated by multiplying by 40 the estimated revenue expected to be generated during the twelfth month of production. TCV for an IoT Solutions opportunity is either the actual total expected revenue opportunity, or if it is a longer-term “programmatically recurring revenue” program, calculated for the first 36 months of the delivery period. TCV is used by management as a measure of the revenue opportunity of KORE’s sales funnel, which we define as opportunities our sales team is actively pursuing, potentially leading to future revenue.

As of June 30, 2024, our sales funnel included over 1,148 opportunities with an estimated potential TCV of over $437 million. As of June 30, 2023, our sales funnel included over 1,500 opportunities with an estimated potential TCV of $660 million.

Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”)

ARPU is used by management as a measure to assess the revenue generated per connection. It is calculated by dividing the total IoT connectivity revenue during the period by the total number of connections during that same period. We believe that ARPU is an important metric for both management and investors to help in understanding the financial performance and effectiveness of the Company’s monetization per connection.

ARPU was $1.00 and $0.98 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.03 and $0.98 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund our operating costs, and satisfy other general business needs. Our liquidity requirements have historically arisen from our working capital needs, obligations to make scheduled payments of interest and principal on our indebtedness, and capital expenditures to facilitate the growth and expansion of the business, which was historically accomplished via acquisitions. We do not plan on any acquisitions in the foreseeable future.

Going forward, we may continue to utilize borrowings, including bank credit facilities and lines of credit, to fund our liquidity requirements. We are highly leveraged, and such borrowings may not be available with attractive terms or at all. We may also seek to raise additional capital through public or private offerings of equity, equity-related, or debt securities, depending upon market conditions. The use of any particular source of capital and funds will depend on market conditions and the availability, if any, of these sources.

We believe these identified sources of financing will be adequate for purposes of meeting our short‑term (within one year) and our longer‑term liquidity needs. We cannot predict with certainty the specific transactions we will undertake to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due. We will adjust our plans as appropriate in response to changes in our expectations and any potential changes in market conditions.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility — WhiteHorse Capital Management, LLC (“WhiteHorse”)

On November 9, 2023, the Company, only with respect to certain limited sections thereof, and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement with WhiteHorse that consisted of a senior secured term loan of $185.0 million (“Term Loan”) as well as a senior secured revolving credit facility of $25.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”). Borrowings under the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate at the Company’s option of either (1) Term SOFR for a specified interest period (at the Company’s option) of one to three months plus an applicable margin of up to 6.50% or (2) a base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 5.50%. The Term SOFR rate is subject to a “floor” of 1.0%. The applicable margins for Term SOFR rate and base rate borrowings are each subject to a reduction to 6.25% and 6.00% if the Company maintains a first lien net leverage ratio of less than 2.25:1.00 and greater than or equal to 1.75:1.00 and less than 1.75:1.00, respectively. Interest is paid on the last business day of each quarterly interest period except at maturity. The credit agreement became effective on November 15, 2023.

Principal payments of approximately $0.5 million are due on the last business day of each quarter. The maturity date of the Credit Facilities is November 15, 2028.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets. The Term Loan agreement restricts cash dividends and other distributions from the Company’s subsidiaries to the Company and also restricts the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.

The Credit Facilities are subject to customary financial covenants including to the Total Net Leverage Ratio, defined as, with respect to any period end, the ratio of (a) Consolidated Total Debt to (b) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement, as discussed below); and First Lien Net Leverage Ratio defined as, with respect to any period end, the ratio of (a) Consolidated First Lien Debt to (b) Consolidated EBITDA. “Consolidated EBITDA” as defined by the credit agreement is equivalent to our Adjusted EBITDA, as presented in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
27



The Total Net Leverage Ratio is set at 6.25:1.00 for quarterly periods ending March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024; 5.75:1.00 for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024; 5.50:1.00 for the quarterly periods ending March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025; and 5.25:1.00 for periods ending December 31, 2025 and thereafter. The First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is set at 3.50:1.00 for quarterly periods ending March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024; 3.00:1.00 for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024; 2.75:1.00 for the quarterly periods ending March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025; and 2.50:1.00 for periods ending December 31, 2025 and thereafter.

Backstop Notes

On September 30, 2021, a subsidiary of the Company issued the first tranche of the Backstop Notes, consisting of $95.1 million in senior unsecured exchangeable notes due 2028 to a lender and its affiliates. On October 28, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary issued a second and final tranche of Backstop Notes in the amount of $24.9 million. The Backstop Notes are guaranteed by the Company and are due September 30, 2028.

The Backstop Notes were issued at par and bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum which is paid semi-annually on March 30 and September 30 of each year. The Backstop Notes are exchangeable into common stock of the Company at $12.50 per share (the “Base Exchange Rate”) at any time at the option of the lender. At the Base Exchange Rate, the Notes are exchangeable for approximately 9.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Base Exchange Rate may be adjusted for certain dilutive events or change in control events as defined by the Indenture (the “Adjusted Exchange Rate”).

After September 30, 2023, if the Company’s shares are trading at a defined premium to the Base Exchange Rate or applicable Adjusted Exchange Rate, the Company may redeem the Backstop Notes for cash, force an exchange into shares of its common stock at an amount per share based on a time-value make whole table, or settle with a combination of cash and its common stock.

The Backstop Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture which contains financial covenants related to the Company’s maximum total debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio.

Other borrowings

The Company’s “other borrowings” as set forth on the foregoing table regarding the Company’s long-term debt related solely to a premium finance agreement entered into on August 3, 2022, to purchase a Directors and Officers insurance policy with a two-year policy term. The original amount borrowed was approximately $3.6 million at a fixed rate of 4.6% per annum, amortized over twenty months. The premium finance agreement required 20 fixed monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $0.2 million per month from August 15, 2022 to March 15, 2024. The balance was paid off during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 35,000,000 shares of preferred stock and has issued to a single investor (Searchlight) who is currently the sole holder thereof, 152,857 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A-1 preferred stock”), which is mandatorily redeemable for cash payable to the holder on November 15, 2033. The number of issued and outstanding shares are currently the same. The Series A-1 preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share.

The following table sets forth the number of shares and the carrying amounts of Series A-1 preferred stock as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Carrying amount
($ in thousands)SharesJune 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Preferred stock issued November 15, 2023150,000 $150,000 $150,000 
Preferred stock issued December 13, 20232,857 2,857 2,857 
Preferred stock issuance costsN/A(5,636)(5,936)
Allocation of proceeds to preferred stockN/A(5,015)(5,327)
Preferred stock, end of period152,857 $142,206 $141,594 

The Series A-1 preferred stock accrues dividends at a rate of 13% per year, compounded and payable quarterly, though cash payment of dividends must be declared by the Board, and are otherwise accrued, as further described below:

Searchlight, as the current sole owner of the Series A-1 preferred stock, is solely owed the accrued interest arising from the Series A-1 preferred stock outstanding, which interest is referred to in the preferred stock Certificate of Designations as “Dividends”. The “dividend rate” means, initially, 13% per annum, and dividends on each share of Series A-1 preferred stock shall (i) accrue on the liquidation preference of such share and on any accrued dividends on such share, on a daily basis from and including the issuance date of such share, whether or not declared,
28


whether or not the Company has earnings and whether or not the Company has assets legally available to make payment thereof, at a rate equal to the dividend rate, (ii) compound quarterly and (iii) be payable quarterly in arrears, in accordance with the section, below, on each dividend payment date, commencing on December 31, 2023. Dividends on the Series A-1 preferred stock shall accrue on the basis of a 365-day year based on actual days elapsed. The amount of dividends payable with respect to any share of Series A-1 preferred stock for any dividend payment period shall equal the sum of the daily dividend amounts accrued with respect to such share during such dividend payment period.

Dividends on the Series A-1 preferred stock shall be payable in cash only if, as and when declared by the Board, and, if not declared by the Board, the amount of accrued Dividends shall be automatically increased, without any action on the part of the Company or any other person, in an amount equal to the amount of the Dividend to be paid. For further clarity, if the Board does not declare and pay in cash, or the Company otherwise for any reason fails to pay in cash, on any dividend payment date, the full amount of any accrued and unpaid Dividend on the Series A-1 preferred stock since the most recent dividend payment date, then the amount of such unpaid Dividend shall automatically be added to the amount of accrued Dividends on such share on the applicable dividend payment date without any action on the part of the Company or any other person.

Cash Flows

Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)20242023
Net cash provided by operating activities$5,890 $1,303 
Net cash used in investing activities$(8,784)$(10,245)
Net cash used in financing activities$(1,739)$(2,654)

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased from 2023 primarily due to the accrual of interest payable to affiliate remaining unpaid, timing of accounts payable and receivable and change in fair value of warrant liabilities to affiliate.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was primarily used for investments in internally developed software and purchases of property and equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to scheduled principal payments on the Term Loan. During 2023, cash used in financing activities was primarily due to scheduled principal payments on the prior term loan.

Cash Availability

We have the ability to defer cash payment of dividends (which are accounted for under GAAP as interest due to the debt-like features of the underlying instrument) due on the Series A-1 preferred stock, and plan to defer such payments in the near term in order to preserve cash for other purposes. As of June 30, 2024, we owed approximately $12.8 million in such dividend liability, which is due to an affiliate (Searchlight). We had a total of $47.2 million of purchase commitments payable that were not recorded as liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, of which $13.8 million is expected to be purchased through the remainder of 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $22.3 million of cash on hand.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2023.

Management discusses the ongoing development and selection of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

29


We expect quarter-to-quarter GAAP earnings volatility from our business activities. This volatility can occur for a variety of reasons, particularly changes in assessments of indicators of impairment regarding goodwill. In addition, the amount or timing of our reported earnings may be impacted by technical accounting issues and estimates.

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 due to the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, except for the changes related to the remediation of material weaknesses referenced above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

30


PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings, lawsuits, disputes and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although the outcome of these and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, there are currently no pending legal proceedings that are expected to be material to us.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

For a discussion of potential risks and uncertainties applicable to us, see the information under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or future results.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes with regard to the Risk Factors disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K except as set forth below.

The ultimate effect of the 1-for-5 reverse stock split on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty and shares of our common stock have likely experienced decreased liquidity as a result of such reverse stock split.

On July 1, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock. The liquidity of our common stock may be adversely affected given the reduced number of shares of our common stock that are now outstanding following the reverse stock split. As a result of the lower number of shares outstanding following the reverse stock split, the market for our common stock may also become more volatile, which may lead to reduced trading and a smaller number of market makers for our common stock. Our share price may not attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, the market price of our common stock may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. The trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve. All the foregoing risks may result in a material adverse effect to our stockholders.

Our liabilities exceed our assets, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise further equity capital, refinance our debt on favorable terms or at all, or issue new debt.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect that the book value of our liabilities exceeds the book value of our assets. Further, the fair value of our debt reflects a discount to its par (or principal) value. We may therefore face constraints on ability to raise further equity capital, refinance our debt on favorable terms or at all, or issue new debt, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 2.    UNREGISTERED SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table sets forth information with respect to our repurchases of common stock in each month of the second quarter of 2024:

Period
Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) (2)
Average Price Paid per Share (1) (2)
Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced ProgramsApproximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program
April 1, 2024 - April 30, 2024$— $— 
May 1, 2024 - May 31, 2024178,634$3.65 $— 
June 1, 2024 - June 30, 202413,969$3.35 $— 

(1) During the second quarter of 2024, the above shares of common stock were surrendered by employees vesting in RSUs in order to pay for applicable tax withholding. Under the KORE Group Holdings, Inc. 2021 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”), participants may surrender shares as payment of applicable tax withholding on the vesting of equity awards. Shares so surrendered by participants in the Incentive Plan are repurchased pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan and / or applicable inducement award agreement and not pursuant to publicly announced share repurchase programs. The average price per share deemed paid is calculated using the closing stock price on the vesting date. These shares of common stock have been cancelled.

(2) All calculations have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

31


Working Capital Restrictions and Limitations Upon the Payment of Dividends

The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders is restricted by the terms of its financing agreements.

ITEM 3.    DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

Preferred Dividend Arrearage

The Company’s Series A-1 preferred stock, ranking in priority to the Company’s common stock, allows for payment of dividends in arrears. As of August 14, 2024, the total amount of unpaid Series A-1 preferred stock dividends in arrears was $15.4 million.

ITEM 4.    MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5.    OTHER INFORMATION

Rule 10b5-1 trading plan(s)

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act.

Restructuring Plan

On August 14, 2024, the Company has committed to a restructuring plan to streamline operations and reduce costs. It is estimated that the plan will impact between 170 and 240 employees and contractors in all areas across all functions. The Company estimates that it will incur restructuring charges approximately between $5.0 million and $6.0 million in connection with the plan during the third quarter of 2024. These charges are primarily related to severance payments and employee benefits. The Company expects substantially all of the actions associated with the plan to be completed by December 31, 2024.

The estimate of the charges that the Company expects to incur in connection with the plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local employment law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the plan.

GENERAL RELEASE

I, Romil Bahl, in consideration of and subject to the performance by KORE Group Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), of its obligations under the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement dated as of November 17, 2021 (the “Agreement”), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the Company and its respective affiliates and all present, former and future managers, directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its affiliates and direct or indirect owners (collectively, the “Released Parties”) to the extent provided below (this “General Release”). The Released Parties are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

1)I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 5 of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not receive certain of the payments and benefits specified in Section 5 of the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its affiliates.

2)Except as provided in paragraphs 5 and 6 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date that this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of my initial dealings with the Company to the date of this General Release, and particularly, but without limitation of the foregoing general terms, any claims arising from or relating in any way to my employment relationship with the Company, the terms and conditions of that employment relationship, and the termination of that employment relationship (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the



Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”).

3)The released claims described in paragraph 2 hereof include all such claims, whether known or unknown by me.

4)I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.

5)I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have, under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 or otherwise, which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).

6)I agree that I hereby waive all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever in respect of any Claim, including, without limitation, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, and any form of injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding. Additionally, I am not waiving (i) any right to the any severance benefits to which I am entitled under the Agreement, (ii) any claim relating to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage or any right of indemnification under the Company’s organizational documents or otherwise, (iii) any claim for vested or accrued benefits under any Company benefit plan or (iv) my rights as an equity or security holder in the Company or its affiliates.

7)In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims herein above mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state or local statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending claim of the type described in paragraph 2 above as of the execution of this General Release.



8)I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.

9)I agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

10)The Company and I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except (a) (x) by me to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel or financial advisor or accountant I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof (and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone ) or (y) by the Company to its tax, legal or other counsel or financial advisor or accountant it has consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof (and the Company will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone ) or (b) as required by law, if required by a governmental or regulatory agency or as reasonably appropriate in connection with any litigation or investigation involving the Company.

11)Nothing in this General Release prohibits or restricts me or my attorneys from: (i) making any disclosure of relevant and necessary information or documents in any action, investigation, or proceeding relating to the Agreement, or as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; (ii) participating, cooperating, or testifying in any action, investigation, or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, and/or pursuant to the Sarbanes- Oxley Act; or (iii) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission awards. In addition, nothing in this General Release prohibits or restricts me from initiating communications with, or responding to any inquiry from, any regulatory or supervisory authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), I will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that (y) is made in confidence to a Federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to my attorney and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (z) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If I file a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may confidentially disclose the trade secret to my attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if I file any document containing the trade secret under seal, and do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this General Release is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section.

12)I hereby acknowledge that Sections 5 through 9, 11, and 12 of the Agreement shall survive my execution of this General Release.

13)I represent that I am not aware of any claim by me other than the claims that are released by this General Release. I acknowledge that I may hereafter discover claims or facts in



addition to or different than those which I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it.

14)Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.

15)Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

BY SIGNING THIS GENERAL RELEASE, I REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT:

1.    I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY;

2.    I UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS TERMS AND KNOW THAT I AM GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RIGHTS UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, AS AMENDED, TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, AS AMENDED; THE EQUAL PAY ACT OF 1963, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990; AND THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED;

7.    I HAVE SIGNED THIS GENERAL RELEASE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND WITH THE ADVICE OF ANY COUNSEL RETAINED TO ADVISE ME WITH RESPECT TO IT; AND

1.4 Unsecured Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Cash Award represents an unsecured obligation of the Company to pay, and the right of Grantee to receive, a cash payment at the time and on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
 
ARTICLE II
GENERAL PROVISIONS

2.1 Entire Agreement. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement or contract between the Company and the Grantee regarding the subject matter hereof.  No oral statement regarding the Agreement may be relied upon by the Grantee or any other person claiming through or under the Grantee.
 
2.2 Clawback/Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Cash Award (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received with respect thereto) shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by applicable law, be subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the Company or otherwise required by applicable law, whether or not such clawback policy was in place at the Grant Date and whether or not the Cash Award is vested and/or payable.
 
2.3 Construction. References in this Agreement to “this Agreement” and the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and similar terms include all exhibits and schedules appended hereto. All decisions of the Committee upon questions regarding this Agreement shall be conclusive. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement have been included for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
 
2.4 Employment Rights. Neither the execution and delivery of the Agreement nor the payment of any benefits hereunder shall be construed as conferring upon the Grantee the right to continue to be employed by the Company in any capacity.
 
2.5 Benefit Transfers. Except as expressly permitted in the Agreement, the Grantee shall not have any right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber all or any part of the amounts payable under the Agreement. No such amounts shall be subject to seizure by any creditor of the Grantee, by a proceeding at law or in equity, nor shall any such amounts be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or death of the Grantee, except that, upon the Grantee’s death, any vested and outstanding portion of the Cash Award
2



shall be paid to the Grantee’s spouse, if the Grantee is married, and otherwise to the Grantee’s estate. Any attempted assignment or transfer in contravention of this provision shall be void.
 
2.6 Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy, or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or the relationship of the parties hereto will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (including its statute of limitations), without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws (or statute of limitations) of another jurisdiction.
 
2.7 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, the Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and permitted assigns, and the Grantee and the Grantee’s successors, heirs, executors, administrators and beneficiaries. The Company may assign the Agreement or any of its rights hereunder, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Agreement shall not be assignable by the Grantee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
 
2.8 Notices. Any notice required under this Agreement to be given or delivered to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Grantee must be in writing and addressed to the Grantee at the address the Grantee designates in writing to the Company.
 
2.9 No Guaranty of Benefits. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall constitute a guaranty by the Company or any other entity or person that the assets of the Company will be sufficient to pay the Cash Award.

2.10 Restrictive Covenants. All portion of the Cash Award that has not been settled shall be automatically forfeited to the extent the Grantee violates any noncompetition, nonsolicitation, or any other restrictive covenants that may be contained in any employment or service agreement, restrictive covenant agreement, or any other agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the Grantee, whether entered into prior to, on, or following the Grant Date, and the Grantee hereby reaffirms all such obligations.
 
2.11 Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, none of which need contain the signatures of all parties, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together constitute one and the same instrument. The Agreement or any counterpart may be executed via facsimile or other electronic transmission, and any such executed facsimile or other electronic copy shall be treated as an original. It shall not be necessary in making proof of the Agreement to produce or account for more than the number of counterparts containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereto.
 
2.11 Code Section 409A Compliance. The Cash Award is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code Section 409A”) and applicable regulations, and shall be interpreted and operated consistent with such intent.  If any ambiguity exists in the
3



terms of the Agreement, it shall be interpreted to be consistent with this purpose.  It is also the intention of this Agreement that all income tax liability on payments made pursuant to this Agreement be deferred until the Grantee actually receives such payment if and to the extent Code Section 409A does apply to the Cash Award, in which case this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner to be consistent with Code Section 409A.  Therefore, if any provision of this Agreement is found not to be exempt from or in compliance with any applicable requirements of Code Section 409A, that provision will be deemed amended and will be construed and administered, insofar as possible, so that this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Company, does not trigger taxes and other penalties under Code Section 409A; provided, however, that Grantee will not be required to forfeit any payment that becomes vested and payable to Grantee without Grantee’s written consent.  It is intended that each payment or installment of a payment and each benefit provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Code Section 409A. Nothing in this section increases the Company’s obligations to Grantee under this Agreement.  Grantee remains solely liable for any taxes, including but not limited to any penalties or interest due to Code Section 409A or otherwise, on the payments made hereunder.  The preceding provisions shall not be construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular tax effect for payments made pursuant to this Agreement.

Exhibit A

Vesting of the Performance-Vesting Cash Award


1st Performance Period

The 1st Performance Period will be the period beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2025 (the “1st Performance Period”).

The amount of the Performance-Vesting Cash Award that will become vested and payable with respect to the 1st Year Performance Period will equal the product of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Performance-Vesting Cash Award multiplied by (ii) the 1st Performance Period Final Weighted Performance Percentage (as defined herein) (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar), subject to the continued employment of Grantee by the Company (or any successor thereof) from the Grant Date through the date on which the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) certifies, in its good-faith, reasonable discretion, the extent to which (if any) the stated performance metrics have been achieved during the 1st Performance Period, which certification shall occur no later than March 31, 2026 (the “1st Performance Period Performance Vesting Date).

The 1st Performance Period Final Weighted Performance Percentage shall be determined as follows: (A) determine the Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 1st Performance Period; (B) determine the Payout Percentage in the last column in the chart below that correlates to the Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 1st Performance Period; if the Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 1st Performance Period falls between any of the Payout Percentages in the last column in the chart below, then the Payout Percentage for the applicable financial performance objective shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the two; if Company Revenue and/or Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 1st Performance Period is Below Threshold, the Payout Percentage for that financial performance objective shall be zero percent (0%); if Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 1st Performance Period exceeds Maximum, the Payout Percentage for that financial performance objective shall be one-hundred fifty percent (150%); (C) multiply for each of Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 1st Performance Period the Payout Percentage determined for the applicable financial performance objective under (B) by fifty percent (50%); and (D) then calculate the sum of the products determined in (C) for each of the financial performance objectives; the resulting sum will be the 1st Performance Period Final Weighted Performance Percentage. In no event may the 1st Performance Period Final Weighted Performance Percentage exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%). When making the foregoing percentage calculations, the result of each separate calculation shall be rounded down to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

2nd Performance Period

The 2nd Performance Period will be the period beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2026 (the “2nd Performance Period”).

The amount of the Performance-Vesting Cash Award that will become vested and payable with respect to the 2nd Year Performance Period will equal the product of (i) the Performance-Vesting Cash Award multiplied by (ii) the 2nd Performance Period Final Weighted Performance Percentage (as defined herein) (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar), minus the amount of the Performance-Vesting Cash Award, if any, paid with respect to the 1st Performance Period, subject to the continued employment of Grantee by the Company (or any successor thereof) from the Grant Date through the date on which the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) certifies, in its good-faith, reasonable discretion, the extent to which (if any) the stated performance metrics have been achieved during the 2nd Performance Period, which certification shall occur no later than March 31, 2027 (the “2nd Performance Period Performance Vesting Date).

The 2nd Performance Period Final Weighted Performance Percentage shall be determined as follows: (A) determine the Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 2nd Performance Period; (B) determine the Payout Percentage in the last column in the chart below that correlates to the Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 2nd Performance Period; if the Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 2nd Performance Period falls between any of the Payout Percentages in the last column in the chart below, then the Payout Percentage for the applicable financial performance objective shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the two; if Company Revenue and/or Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 2nd Performance Period is Below Threshold, the Payout Percentage for that financial performance objective shall be zero percent (0%); if Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 2nd Performance Period exceeds Maximum, the Payout Percentage for that financial performance objective shall be one-hundred fifty percent (150%); (C) multiply for each of Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA less capitalized software expense (in dollars) achieved for the 2nd
7



Performance Period the Payout Percentage determined for the applicable financial performance objective under (B) by fifty percent (50%); and (D) then calculate the sum of the products determined in (C) for each of the financial performance objectives; the resulting sum will be the 2nd Performance Period Final Weighted Performance Percentage. In no event may the 2nd Performance Period Final Weighted Performance Percentage exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%). When making the foregoing percentage calculations, the result of each separate calculation shall be rounded down to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

For purposes of the Agreement and this Exhibit A, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA adjusted for unusual and other significant items that management views as distorting the operating results from period to period. Such adjustments may include stock-based compensation, integration and acquisition-related charges, tangible and intangible asset impairment charges, certain contingent liability reversals, transformation, and foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

"EBITDA" means net income (loss) before other non-operating expenses or income, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by nor presented in accordance with GAAP.

“Revenue” means the aggregate revenue achieved by the Company for the respective performance period as reflected in the Company’s annual financial statements.

“Capitalized Software” means costs relating to software development (including as programmer compensation, software testing and other direct and indirect overhead costs) that are capitalized on a company’s balance sheet instead of being expensed as incurred.

The Committee shall adjust or modify, the manner of the adjustment or modification within its sole discretion, the calculation of any financial performance objective for a performance period
8



in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of Grantee, including, without limitation (a) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development affecting the Company; or (b) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

KORE Group Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “KORE” or the “Company”) provides advanced connectivity services, location-based services, device solutions, managed and professional services used in the development and support of the “Internet of Things” (“IoT”) technology for the business market. The Company’s IoT platform is delivered in partnership with the world’s largest mobile network operators and provides secure, reliable, wireless connectivity to mobile and fixed devices. This technology enables the Company to expand its global technology platform by transferring capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and delivers complementary products to channel partners and resellers worldwide.

The Company is incorporated in the state of Delaware and its operations are primarily located in North America. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “KORE”. The Company implemented a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5 effective as of July 1, 2024. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split, regardless of the fractional amount, resulted in an additional one share in lieu of such fractional share. The number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants outstanding at the effective time of the reverse stock split was reduced to one-fifth the number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants immediately preceding the reverse stock split, and the exercise price per share was increased by five times the exercise price immediately preceding the reverse stock split, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise thereof as was required immediately preceding the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split did not affect the shares of preferred stock outstanding. All calculations have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of revenue recognition, fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, assessments of indicators of impairment regarding various assets including goodwill, calculation of capitalized software costs, accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in these estimates may occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material.

Change in Accounting Estimate — Depreciation of Property and Equipment

On January 1, 2024, the Company elected to change its method of depreciation for long-lived assets from the declining balance method to the straight-line method. The Company’s use of the straight-line depreciation method was effective beginning January 1, 2024, and has been applied prospectively as a change in estimate.

Reclassifications

Certain immaterial amounts reported in prior periods in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been corrected and reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. To appropriately reflect the long-term nature of the obligation regarding the interest accrued on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, the amount of “accrued interest due to affiliate” of $2.5 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been reclassified to noncurrent liabilities. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs currently applicable to the Company’s future financial statements are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price in contracts allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, at the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustments for revenue that have not materialized, and adjustments for currency. As of June 30, 2024 the Company had approximately $13.5 million of remaining performance obligations on contracts with an original duration of one year or more. The Company expects to recognize approximately 52% of these remaining performance obligations in 2024, with the remaining balance recognized thereafter.

The Company has variable consideration of approximately $2.4 million that was constrained revenue and excluded from the transaction price for the period ended June 30, 2024. There were no material instances where variable consideration was constrained and not recorded at the initial time of sale for the period ended June 30, 2023.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company did not have material costs related to obtaining a contract, or fulfilling a contract that are not addressed by other accounting standards, with amortization periods greater than one year for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

GOODWILL

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
GOODWILL GOODWILL
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on October 1 of each year, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company identified circumstances prior to its annual goodwill test that indicated that it was “more likely than not” that the fair value of the reporting unit (the Company) was below its carrying value. The Company therefore performed qualitative and quantitative goodwill impairment tests during the second quarter of 2024. The qualitative impairment indicators noted include a sustained decline in the Company’s share price, decreasing cash flows, lower actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods, and changes in management.

The fair value of the Company was estimated by equally weighing the results of an income approach and market approach. Valuation techniques utilized were substantially considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs included the Company’s internal forecasts of its future results, cash flows, and its weighted average cost of capital. Key assumptions used in the impairment analysis included projected revenue growth rates, discount rates, and market factors such as earnings multiples from comparable publicly traded companies.
As a result of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Company exceeded its estimated fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment loss of approximately $45.4 million, which represents the impairment loss subsequent to December 31, 2023, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. No such impairment charges were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVES DERIVATIVES
Derivatives are complex financial instruments. The Company does not use derivatives to manage financial risks or as an economic hedge. The Company’s sole derivative instrument arose as part of the issuance of Series A-1 preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A-1 preferred stock”), to Searchlight, in which transaction Searchlight was also granted Penny Warrants (historically referred to as “Penny Warrants,” however the exercise price has been adjusted to $0.05 per warrant due to the reverse stock split). The Penny Warrants are considered a freestanding derivative instrument, as they are separable and legally detachable from the Series A-1 preferred stock, were issued for nominal or no apparent consideration, and have the essential characteristics inherent in a derivative instrument of a notional amount, an underlying security, and a mechanism for net settlement.

The following table sets forth the details of the derivative instrument presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and notional amounts as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
6 Months Ended
Jun. 30, 2024
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., the Company’s own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s valuation policies and processes had not changed from those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements, with the exception of the valuation of the Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock Due to Affiliate. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined that a lattice model indicated a more accurate approximation of the fair value of this debt for disclosure purposes rather than the discounted cash flow model previously used. The Company noted that the value derived from a discounted cash flow model was not significantly different than the fair value approximation as determined by a lattice model; however, a lattice model was considered to be more relevant to the inputs used in determining the Company’s implied fair value of debt as a significant input to the Company’s impairment testing, which occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as a triggering event was deemed to have occurred (see Note 4 — Goodwill). This debt was not in existence at previous impairment testing dates.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The Company is required to measure its warrant liabilities at fair value for the Penny Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, which are both included in “warrant liabilities to affiliates” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Penny Warrants

The Penny Warrants, issued in 2023, are marked to fair value by reference to the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the last day of the reporting period, less the exercise price, and are therefore considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s stock as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, less the exercise price, resulted in a Penny Warrants valuation of approximately $5.0 million and $11.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants are marked to fair value by reference to the fair value of the Company’s public warrants, which are therefore considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The public warrants were traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol KORE.WS until December 2023, at which point the listing transferred to the OTC Pink Marketplace under the ticker symbol KORGW. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate value of the Private Placement Warrants was zero, as the reference price of the KORGW warrants was less than one cent per warrant.

Financial Instruments Held at Amortized Cost for Which Fair Value is Disclosed

Financial instruments for which cost approximates fair value

Cash, including restricted cash, is stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable (including contract assets), accounts payable, and accrued liabilities (including contract liabilities) approximate fair value, due to their short-term maturities.

We use a third‑party valuation firm who utilizes proprietary methodologies to value our Backstop Notes. This firm uses a lattice modeling technique to determine the fair value of this Level 3 liability. Use of this technique requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs such as credit spreads and equity volatility based on guideline companies, as well as
other valuation assumptions. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Additional disclosures regarding Level 3 unobservable inputs - Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock Due to Affiliate

As of June 30, 2024, we used a third‑party valuation firm who utilizes proprietary methodologies to value our Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock Due to Affiliate. This firm used a lattice modeling technique to determine the fair value of this liability determined as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2024. Use of this technique requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs such as credit spreads and equity volatility based on guideline companies, as well as other valuation assumptions. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On May 3, 2024, pursuant to the mutual agreement of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Romil Bahl, Mr. Bahl stepped down as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a member of the Board. All shares of stock and prices per share as described below have been adjusted for the reverse split. There was no resulting change to the total value of the awards as a result of the reverse split.

In connection with this mutual agreement, the previously unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with only time-vesting provisions accelerated to vest on May 3, 2024. Accordingly, 411,942 RSUs vested, with 177,948 shares withheld for taxes, for a net settlement of 233,994 shares of common stock issued in conjunction with these RSUs. The acceleration of the expense resulted in an increase of $4.8 million to “selling, general, and administrative expenses” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which was partially offset by certain reversals of expense relating to other of Mr. Bahl’s one market-based grant, as further described below, and a partial reversal of performance share unit awards (“PSU”) overall based on the Company’s current expectations around meeting the performance metrics (which was also applicable to all participants with unvested PSUs).

Further to the mutual agreement, Mr. Bahl’s unvested PSUs are to vest if and when they vest for individuals employed by the Company. The 2022 PSU award and the 2023 PSU award will vest fully in 2025 and 2026, respectively, should the criteria be met.

Finally, Mr. Bahl’s unvested market-based RSU award of 40,000 shares was forfeited in accordance with the terms of the award agreement. The market conditions associated with this award required vesting on the day after the closing price of the Company’s common stock achieved five dollars per share or higher for at least twenty days out of any consecutive thirty-day period ending on or prior to June 30, 2026. The fair value of the RSUs was previously estimated to be $0.40 per RSU using a Monte-Carlo simulation model considering the term, volatility, risk-free rates and the vesting conditions, including service through June 30, 2026. The expense previously recorded on these RSUs was reversed, as the service condition of the award will not be met. Reversal of this expense resulted in an immaterial decrease to “selling, general, and administrative expenses” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

(1) Due to the Company’s net loss, all unvested equity awards, and the Private Placement Warrants are anti-dilutive. The dilutive convertible instruments of the Backstop Notes are out of the money.

In determining the weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 for both basic and diluted earnings per share, the Company included the Penny Warrants issued to Searchlight in transactions dated November 15, 2023 and December 13, 2023, as the common shares of stock that would be issuable upon the exercise of such warrants are issuable for nominal consideration per share of common stock or cashless exercise at the option of Searchlight. The Penny Warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance, although no such warrants had been exercised as of June 30, 2024.

Set forth in the table below is the number of securities not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive:

(1) Common stock issuable under the Backstop Notes is presented at the maximum number of shares of common stock potentially issuable upon the exercise of the Backstop Notes, although the actual potentially issuable shares remain limited at 9.9% of the common stock outstanding.
(2) The number of shares of common stock covered by warrants outstanding at the effective time of the reverse stock split was reduced to one-fifth the number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants immediately preceding the reverse stock split, and the exercise price per share was increased by five times the exercise price immediately preceding the reverse stock split, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise thereof as was required immediately preceding the reverse stock split.

Unvested restricted stock units with “time and performance conditions” are excluded from the disclosure of the number of potentially anti-dilutive securities because the performance conditions were not met at the end of the reporting periods. Therefore, these securities are not considered to be contingently issuable for purposes of dilutive EPS or anti-dilution calculations.

Transactions with affiliates of the Company

Searchlight

Searchlight beneficially owned approximately 14% and 13% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, through its ownership of the Penny Warrants. Searchlight is therefore considered an affiliate of the Company, and two of the Company’s Board members are employed by Searchlight. Searchlight owns the Series A-1 preferred stock and the Penny Warrants.

Searchlight, as the current sole owner of the Series A-1 preferred stock, is solely owed the accrued interest arising from the Series A-1 preferred stock outstanding, which interest is referred to in the Series A-1 preferred stock Certificate of Designations as “Dividends”. The “dividend rate” means, initially, 13% per annum, and dividends on each share of Series A-1 preferred stock shall (i) accrue on the liquidation preference of such share and on any accrued dividends on such share, on a daily basis from and including the issuance date of such share, whether or not declared, whether or not the Company has earnings and whether or not the Company has assets legally available to make payment thereof, at a rate equal to the dividend rate, (ii) compound quarterly and (iii) be payable quarterly in arrears, in accordance with the section, below, on each dividend payment date, commencing on December 31, 2023. Dividends on the Series A-1 preferred stock shall accrue on the basis of a 365-day year based on actual days elapsed. The amount of dividends payable with respect to any share of Series A-1 preferred stock for any dividend payment period shall equal the sum of the daily dividend amounts accrued with respect to such share during such dividend payment period.

Dividends on the Series A-1 preferred stock shall be payable in cash only if, as and when declared by the Board, and, if not declared by the Board, the amount of accrued Dividends shall be automatically increased, without any action on the part of the Company or any other person, in an amount equal to the amount of the Dividend to be paid. For further clarity, if the Board does not declare and pay in cash, or the Company otherwise for any reason fails to pay in cash, on any dividend payment date, the full amount of any accrued and unpaid Dividend on the Series A-1 preferred stock since the most recent dividend payment date, then the amount of such unpaid Dividend shall automatically be added to the amount of accrued Dividends on such share on the applicable dividend payment date without any action on the part of the Company or any other person.

Cerberus Telecom Acquisition Corp. (“CTAC”)

CTAC was the initial private equity sponsor of the Company, and two of the Company’s Board members are employed by CTAC. CTAC is therefore considered an affiliate of the Company. CTAC owns over 5% but less than 10% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

Affiliates of CTAC own the Private Placement Warrants.

ABRY Partners, LLC (“ABRY”)

ABRY beneficially owned approximately 29% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. ABRY is therefore considered an affiliate of the Company, and two of the Company’s Board members are employed by ABRY.

HealthEZ, an ABRY portfolio company, is the Company’s health insurance third-party administrator. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the administration costs incurred with HealthEZ were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the administration costs incurred with HealthEZ were $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Aggregate expenses are recorded as a component of “selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred with affiliates” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

A.P. Lubrano & Company, Inc. (“APL”), owned by an ABRY affiliated entity, is the Registered Investment Advisor for the Company’s U.S. 401(k) plan. As part of its fiduciary responsibilities, APL provides investment advisory services, including portfolio management, investment selection and ongoing monitoring of plan assets. The compensation for APL’s advisory services is determined by the applicable basis point charge and the total dollar amount of each participant’s plan assets held by APL. Specifically, each participant in the Company’s U.S. 401(k) plan is charged fees of 20 basis point of the value of the participant’s individual plan assets.

Transactions with affiliates of one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company located in Brazil maintained an office lease and professional services agreement with a company controlled by a key member of the subsidiary’s management team. The office lease and professional services agreement with this affiliate were terminated on June 29, 2023, and thus, no such expenses were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Aggregate expenses incurred for these transactions were $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and are recorded as a component of “selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred with affiliates” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
The same wholly-owned subsidiary had an informal services agreement with a separate company controlled by two key members of the Company’s management team. This services agreement was entered into to render technical assistance services to purchase and deliver telecommunication equipment to the Company’s clients in Brazil, for which the affiliate was paid a nominal monthly fixed fee plus a fee of 7% of the gross amount of the cost incurred to purchase and deliver telecommunication equipment to the Company’s clients in Brazil. These expenses are recorded as a component of “selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred with affiliates” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the relevant periods as disclosed below.

The service agreement with this affiliate was terminated on February 14, 2023, and thus, no such expenses were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $0.1 million to this affiliate.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Indirect Taxes

The Company, assisted by third party experts, is currently conducting a review of potential obligations surrounding indirect taxes, specifically, sales and telecommunications taxes. At the current time, the Company has had no actual or threatened claims arising from any governmental authority in any taxing jurisdiction in the United States where the Company does business regarding claims for any indirect tax liabilities emerging from any potential sales and telecommunications tax that may be owed to any such state or local governments in the various aforementioned taxing jurisdictions. However, a liability for sales and telecommunications tax may be asserted by a governmental authority if that authority determines that the Company is engaged in often-taxable “telecommunications services” rather than providing “internet access,” which is not taxable in any jurisdiction by federal law. The determination of if a service provided is defined as “telecommunications services” or “internet access” may be highly subjective, open to interpretation, and can depend upon extremely intricate technical factors and specific fact patterns which may vary by customer and use case. Furthermore, some taxing jurisdictions may not levy taxes on telecommunications services, while others do, and some taxing jurisdictions are at the state level, while others exist at the local level, including by municipality in some states.

The Company believes that it is probable that a liability for sales and telecommunications tax may exist. The Company initially estimated the possible range of loss in this matter as between $1.8 million and $18.1 million. The low end of the possible range of loss, which is the amount required to be recorded as a contingent loss by GAAP, is substantially unchanged from the low end of the possible range of loss as of December 31, 2023, and no additional loss or recovery estimates have been recorded for the period ended June 30, 2024.

The range of loss in this matter described above includes anticipation of recoveries from third parties at the low end, and no recoveries from third parties anticipated at the high end of the range, with interest and penalties assessed at both the low and high ends of the range, with penalties reduced in states where the Company intends to seek a “voluntary disclosure arrangement” as described further below. Although the Company’s contracts with customers generally state that the customer must later pay associated taxes if such taxes become an issue, there is always a risk of customer non-payment. Due to the complexities involved in its number of customers, use cases, and jurisdictions in which it does business, along with the treatment of potential indirect taxes varying in each jurisdiction, and collectability estimates, this estimate may ultimately be resolved at either a greater or lesser amount than the estimated range.

Additionally, mitigating factors may exist, such as good-faith reseller certificates, which the Company has previously obtained in instances where the use case indicates that the customer is a reseller, private letter rulings that the Company may request from certain states where the specific tax law is unclear but may be resolved in the Company’s favor, and voluntary disclosure arrangements whereby the Company may determine that it is probable that tax would be owed and enter into an agreement with a taxing jurisdiction to pay back taxes and avoid penalties that would otherwise likely apply.

The Company expects this matter to be settled within the next twelve months, and thus, the net contingent liability estimate of $1.8 million remains accrued in “accrued liabilities” within “current liabilities” of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Purchase Obligations

The Company has vendor commitments primarily relating to carrier and open purchase obligations that the Company incurs in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2024, the purchase commitments were as follows:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective July 1, 2024, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5.

On August 14, 2024, the Company announced a restructuring plan to streamline operations and reduce costs. It is estimated that the plan will impact between 170 and 240 employees and contractors in all areas across all functions. The Company estimates that it will incur restructuring charges approximately between $5.0 million and $6.0 million in connection with the plan during the third quarter of 2024. These charges are primarily related to severance payments and employee benefits. The Company expects substantially all of the actions associated with the plan to be completed by December 31, 2024.

The estimate of the charges that the Company expects to incur in connection with the plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local employment law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the plan.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

KORE Group Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “KORE” or the “Company”) provides advanced connectivity services, location-based services, device solutions, managed and professional services used in the development and support of the “Internet of Things” (“IoT”) technology for the business market. The Company’s IoT platform is delivered in partnership with the world’s largest mobile network operators and provides secure, reliable, wireless connectivity to mobile and fixed devices. This technology enables the Company to expand its global technology platform by transferring capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and delivers complementary products to channel partners and resellers worldwide.

The Company is incorporated in the state of Delaware and its operations are primarily located in North America. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “KORE”. The Company implemented a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5 effective as of July 1, 2024. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split, regardless of the fractional amount, resulted in an additional one share in lieu of such fractional share. The number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants outstanding at the effective time of the reverse stock split was reduced to one-fifth the number of shares of common stock covered by the warrants immediately preceding the reverse stock split, and the exercise price per share was increased by five times the exercise price immediately preceding the reverse stock split, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise thereof as was required immediately preceding the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split did not affect the shares of preferred stock outstanding. All calculations have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.
Interim Financial Statements
Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of revenue recognition, fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, assessments of indicators of impairment regarding various assets including goodwill, calculation of capitalized software costs, accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in these estimates may occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material.
Change in Accounting Estimate — Depreciation of Property and Equipment and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Change in Accounting Estimate — Depreciation of Property and Equipment

On January 1, 2024, the Company elected to change its method of depreciation for long-lived assets from the declining balance method to the straight-line method. The Company’s use of the straight-line depreciation method was effective beginning January 1, 2024, and has been applied prospectively as a change in estimate.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs currently applicable to the Company’s future financial statements are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain immaterial amounts reported in prior periods in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been corrected and reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Fair Value Measurements
For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., the Company’s own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s valuation policies and processes had not changed from those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements, with the exception of the valuation of the Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock Due to Affiliate. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined that a lattice model indicated a more accurate approximation of the fair value of this debt for disclosure purposes rather than the discounted cash flow model previously used. The Company noted that the value derived from a discounted cash flow model was not significantly different than the fair value approximation as determined by a lattice model; however, a lattice model was considered to be more relevant to the inputs used in determining the Company’s implied fair value of debt as a significant input to the Company’s impairment testing, which occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as a triggering event was deemed to have occurred (see Note 4 — Goodwill). This debt was not in existence at previous impairment testing dates.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The Company is required to measure its warrant liabilities at fair value for the Penny Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, which are both included in “warrant liabilities to affiliates” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
