In Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, QXO said its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared under GAAP and rely on estimates, judgments and assumptions that can affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The company said the discussion should be read with the financial statements and notes elsewhere in the report.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net sales were $4.976 billion versus $1.920 billion a year earlier. Residential roofing products generated $2.064 billion, non-residential roofing products $1.200 billion, complementary building products $1.682 billion and software products and services $30 million.

Interest expense, net was $38 million in the quarter and $69 million for the six months, compared with $30 million of expense and $26 million of income, respectively, in the prior-year periods.
