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, 2024 |  | December 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.

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:

|  |  |  | June 30, 2024
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments |  | Number of Warrants (Notional Amount)(1) |  | Warrant Liability |  | Exercise Price Per Share (1)

(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.

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
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.

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.

Diluted | $ | (3.36) |  |  | $ | (1.22) |  |  | $ | (4.29) |  |  | $ | (2.43) |

(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:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Grants of RSUs with service only (i.e., time-vesting) conditions | 821,635 |  |  | 1,209,984 |  |  | 821,635 |  |  | 1,066,442 |
Common stock issuable under the Backstop Notes (1) | 1,920,007 |  |  | 1,920,007 |  |  | 1,920,007 |  |  | 1,920,007 |
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.

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:

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.

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:

(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, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |
Total Number of Connections at period end | 18.6 | million |  | 18.5 | million |

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

| June 30, 2024 |  | June 30, 2023 |
Average Connections Count for the three months ended | 18.5 | million |  | 16.5 | million |
Average Connections Count for the six months ended | 18.3 | million |  | 15.8 | 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 per iod 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) | Shares |  | June 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Preferred stock issued November 15, 2023 | 150,000 |  |  | $ | 150,000 |  |  | $ | 150,000 |
Preferred stock issued December 13, 2023 | 2,857 |  |  | 2,857 |  |  | 2,857 |
Preferred stock issuance costs | N/A |  | (5,636) |  |  | (5,936) |
Allocation of proceeds to preferred stock | N/A |  | (5,015) |  |  | (5,327) |
Preferred stock, end of period | 152,857 |  |  | $ | 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) | 2024 |  | 2023
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.

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 Programs |  | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program

(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.
