Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the business and operations of Innventure LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination, which became the business of the Company and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts (“$”) are expressed in thousands.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our and our predecessor’s, as applicable, consolidated financial statements and related notes and other information included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below in this section and those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward–Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
Overview
Innventure is an industrial growth conglomerate that founds, funds, and operates companies with a focus on commercializing transformative, sustainable technology solutions acquired or licensed from MNCs or other technology innovators with the intent to maximize values for investors and other stakeholders through positive cash flow generated through holding long term positions in our Innventure Companies. Refer to Item 1. “Business” of this Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of our business activities.
Segments
Based on the allocation of resources and assessment of financial performance by our Chief Executive Officer (who has been determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker), we have identified one reportable segment: Technology. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments and are classified as “Other”. “Other” primarily includes the Company’s remaining operations consisting of Innventure’s original platform business, service activities, Refinity and equity method investment activities.
The Business Combination
On October 24, 2023, Learn CW and Innventure LLC entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Holdco, LCW Merger Sub and Innventure Merger Sub. On September 30, 2024, the stockholders of Learn CW approved the Business Combination, and the Business Combination closed on the Closing Date. The Business Combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company determined the accounting acquirer to be Holdco. Accordingly, the Company recorded assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest at their acquisition date fair values and recognized goodwill.
As a consequence of the Business Combination, Innventure, Inc. is the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq listed company which will require Innventure to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Innventure expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.
Innventure’s future results of consolidated operations and financial position may not be comparable to historical results as a result of the Business Combination.

Financial Summary
Highlights
The year ended December 31, 2025 includes the following highlights:
•Innventure’s Technology segment began generating revenue related to its cooling systems for data centers.
•Total operational expenses of approximately $466.8 million, primarily made up of a goodwill impairment charge and increased costs associated with generating revenue for the Technology Segment, professional and legal fees, and sales and advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2025.
•Cash inflows from equity and net debt raises were approximately $139.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. These cash inflows from equity and net debt raises are compared to net cash outflows related to operating and investing activities of $84.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
To reflect the application of different bases of accounting as a result of the Business Combination, the tables provided below separate the Company’s results via a black line into two distinct periods as follows: (1) up to and including the Closing Date (labeled “Predecessor”) and (2) the period after that date (labeled “Successor”). The periods after October 1, 2024 are the “Successor” period while the periods before October 2, 2024 are the “Predecessor” periods.
Management believes reviewing our operating results for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2024 by combining the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods (“S/P Combined”) is more useful in discussing our overall operating performance when compared to the same period in the prior year. The combined results of operations included in our discussion below are not considered to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results under applicable regulations, may not reflect the actual results we would have achieved had the Business Combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2024 and should not be viewed as a substitute for the results of operations of the Predecessor and Successor periods presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables below present the non-GAAP combined results for the year.

Revenue
Revenue was $2.1 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 an increase of $0.8 million, or 68.5%. The increase was driven by an increase in product sales in the Technology segment, offset by a decrease in management fee income.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales was $18.8 million and $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $14.3 million. The increase relates to the generation of revenue at the Technology segment resulting in an increase in costs related to supplies and materials, an increase in amortization of intangible assets and, an increase in employee costs.
General and administrative
General and administrative expense was $66.7 million and $56.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of 10.4 million, or 18.6%. The increase in expenditure was attributed to increased stock-based compensation costs, increased intangible asset amortization, and increased professional and legal fees.
Goodwill impairment
Goodwill impairment expense was $346.6 million for the December 31, 2025 The impairment was due to sustained decreases in the Company’s publicly quoted share price and market capitalization, which were sensitive to the general downward volatility experienced in the stock market during late February 2025 through April 2025.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expense was $9.6 million and $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $3.4 million, or 55.7%. The increase was due to increased employee costs and an increase in advertising and marketing-related events and expenses primarily associated with the commercialization phase of the Technology segment.
Research and development
Research and development expense was $25.0 million and $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $13.7 million or 121.1%. The increase was due to an increase in amortization of intangible assets, an increase in employee costs, and an increase in development fees at Refinity.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net was $9.7 million and $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $7.3 million. The increase was due to interest expense on the convertible debentures (collectively, the “Convertible Debentures”) issued to Yorkville pursuant to each of the securities purchase agreement, dated September 15, 2025 (“Securities Purchase Agreement”), and the securities purchase agreement, dated March 25, 2025, contractual interest expense for the term loan agreement entered into on October 22, 2024 by and among the Company and WTI Fund X, Inc. and WTI Fund XI, Inc. (collectively, “WTI Lenders”), which provides for a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000 (the “WTI Facility”), amortization of issuance costs on the WTI Facility, partially offset by a net decrease in interest expense related to other debt instruments that have been paid down, and by an increase in interest income.
Net gain (loss) from investments
Net gain on investments was $0.1 million and $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $11.4 million or 98.9%. The decrease was due to the gain on investment in PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (“PCT”) owned stock via Class PCTA units prior year, which is no longer consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of Business Combination.
52
Net (loss) gain on investments - due to related parties
There was no net loss on investments – due to related parties for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The change was due to an increase in the fair value of the liability of PCT stock owed to other parties for the prior year. The Class PCTA associated liabilities are no longer consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of the Business Combination.
Change in fair value of financial liabilities
The fair value of financial liabilities increased by $16.1 million and decreased by $21.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase to income of $37.6 million, or 175.4%. The increase to income was primarily due to decreases in fair value for warrants and earnout liabilities, and was offset by a net increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities.
Equity method investment (loss) income
Equity method investment loss was $12.6 million and immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change is related to losses from the Company’s equity method investment in AeroFlexx, partially offset by a gain from the ESG Fund in 2024.
Realized gain on conversion of available for sale investment
Realized gain on conversion of available for sale investment was $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, was due to the partial conversion of the AeroFlexx investment in debt securities resulting in a realized gain. There was no realized gain on conversion of available for sale investment for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
Loss on extinguishment of debt was a noncash expense totaling $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the modification of the WTI Facility and a modification of the first and second tranches of the New Convertible Debentures to Yorkville. There was no gain or loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Loss on extinguishment of related party debt
Loss on extinguishment of related party debt was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the extinguishment of the related party loans by additional issuances of the Company’s series C preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”). There was no gain or loss on extinguishment of related party debt for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Loss on conversion of promissory notes
Loss on conversion of promissory notes was $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the automatic conversion of promissory notes into equity instruments which was treated as an extinguishment thereby generating a loss. There was no equivalent transaction for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Loss attributable to Non-controlling interest
Loss attributable to non-controlling interests was $182.0 million and $20.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This was due to the increase in the Technology segment net loss as a result of goodwill impairment.
53
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) to supplement our consolidated financial statements. These non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information to investors to facilitate comparisons of past and present operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating performance, and offer greater transparency on how we evaluate our business activities. These measures are integral to our processes for budgeting, managing operations, making strategic decisions, and evaluating our performance.
Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, non-recurring expenses, and other items that are not indicative of our core operating activities. These may include stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, and other financial items. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is valuable for investors and analysts as it provides additional insight into our operational performance, excluding the impacts of certain financing, investing, and other non-operational activities. This measure helps in comparing our current operating results with prior periods and with those of other companies in our industry. It is also used internally for allocating resources efficiently, assessing the economic outcomes of acquisitions and strategic decisions, and evaluating the performance of our management team.
There are limitations to Adjusted EBITDA, including its exclusion of cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures and contractual commitments, and changes in our cash requirements for working capital needs. Adjusted EBITDA also omits significant interest expenses and related cash requirements for interest and payments. While depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the associated assets will often need to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash required for such replacements. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not account for income or other taxes or necessary cash tax payments.
Investors should use caution when comparing our non-GAAP measure to similar metrics used by other companies, as definitions can vary. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures.
In presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we aim to provide investors with an additional tool for assessing the operational performance of our business. It serves as a useful complement to our GAAP results, offering a more comprehensive understanding of our financial health and operational efficiencies.

(1) Interest expense, net – For the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the combined twelve months ended December 31, 2024, interest expense, net includes interest incurred on our various borrowing facilities and the amortization of debt issuance costs. Additional debt issuance cost associated with a loan commitment fee asset in the amount of $10,041 was written off in combined twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and has also been included in this adjustment. This amount is representative of the asset associated with the additional funds under the second and third tranches of the WTI Facility. When it became known that we would not be able to draw on these subsequent tranches based on certain metrics contained within the WTI Facility, we immediately wrote this asset off.
(2) Transaction and other related costs – For the combined twelve months ended December 31, 2024
this is comprised entirely of consulting, legal, and other professional fees related to the Business Combination.
(3) Change in fair value of financial liabilities – For the December 31, 2025, the change in fair value of financial liabilities primarily consists of the change in fair value of the warrant liability, the earnout liability and the embedded derivatives in various instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2024, this is comprised entirely of the change in fair value of the embedded derivative associated with the convertible notes.
(4) Stock based compensation – For the December 31, 2025, stock based compensation primarily consisted of awards in the 2024 Equity and Incentive Plan entered into on October 2, 2024 subsequent to the Business Combination. These awards consisted of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units, and Stock Appreciation Rights. Further, a portion of this expense was related to share-based payment employee incentive plans in existence at subsidiaries. Additional Stock Options were granted in February 2025 and additional Restricted Stock Units were granted in June 2025 and August 2025 which are included in the stock-based compensation caption for their respective periods. For the year ended December 31 2024, stock-based compensation was comprised wholly of share-based payment employee incentive plans in existence at Innventure LLC and other subsidiaries.
(5) Goodwill impairment - For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized goodwill impairment due to sustained decreases in the Company’s publicly quoted share price and market capitalization, which were, at least in part, sensitive to the general downward volatility experienced in the stock market from late February 2025 through April 2025. The publicly quoted share price stabilized some in May 2025 and June 2025.
(6) Loss on extinguishment of debt - For the December 31, 2025, the Company modified the WTI Facility, and such modification was accounted for as a debt extinguishment while no debt was repaid.
(7) Loss on extinguishment of related party debt - For the December 31, 2025, the Company extinguished certain related party debts by issuing Series C Preferred Stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As discussed in more detail below, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. of this Form 10-K were issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Sources of Liquidity
In assessing liquidity, we monitor and analyze cash on hand and operating expenditure commitments. Our material liquidity requirements are from working capital requirements and operating expense obligations. To date we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from investing and financing activities.
The following is a summary of the components of our current liquidity (in thousands):
Restricted cash 5,000 —
Our long-term future liquidity requirements will depend on many factors, including funding required by us and our Innventure Companies to (i) support the growth of the business and the current business strategy; (ii) fund working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate expenditures; and (iii) support other business opportunities and expenditures. As of December 31, 2025 and over the next 12 months, we anticipate that Innventure, Inc. will require at least $50.0 million to meet its operating and strategic needs, with an additional $25.0 million required to support growth across our Innventure Companies in accordance with our current business plan. We expect to meet these needs through a combination of cash on hand, operating cash flows, strategic investments, the SEPA with Yorkville (maximum remaining availability of approximately $66.6 million as of December 31, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions in the SEPA and additional financings completed by us and our Innventure Companies. Summarized below are equity and debt financing activities made during the year ended December 31, 2025, and thereafter:

Cash Flows
57
Cash flows associated with operating, investing and financing activities are summarized as follows (in thousands):
Successor Predecessor S/P Combined 2024 Change
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities were $80.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $48.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $32.6 million, or 67.9%. The increase is primarily related to working capital impacts and increases in operating losses.
Net Cash Provided (Used in) by Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities were $4.1 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to cash flows provided by investing activities of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a change of $5.0 million. The increase is primarily related to lower investments in debt securities and advances to our related parties, partially offset by reduced proceeds from sales of investments.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $139.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $71.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $67.2 million or 93.5%. The increase is primarily related to proceeds from issuance of equity and debt financing.
Indebtedness
Refer to Note 5. Borrowings to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of our indebtedness.
Contractual Obligations
The following table presents a summary of our contractual obligations, including payments due by period, as of December 31, 2025:
58
Going Concern
We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. In addition, we and our Innventure Companies continue to have an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to sustain our and our Innventure Companies’ operations and fund our and their growth plans. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital from public or private equity or debt financing or otherwise generate sufficient revenues from our Innventure Companies to support our cost structure within the normal operating cycle of a twelve (12) month period, we may have to implement additional cost reduction measures or adjust the timing or scope of certain operations at Innventure or certain Innventure Companies, in part or in full, to help manage liquidity. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities (at either the Innventure or Innventure Company level), it could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and increase fixed payment obligations, and these securities may have rights senior to those of our Common Stock. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risk Related to Innventure’s Business – There is uncertainty regarding Innventure’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.”
We can make no assurances that required financings will be available for the amounts needed, or on terms commercially acceptable to us, if at all. If subsequent capital raises or revenues from operations at the Innventure Companies are insufficient to bridge financial and liquidity shortfalls (or both), there would likely be a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition that would materially adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
59
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. In preparation of these consolidated financial statements, our management is required to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Management considers an accounting judgment, estimate, or assumption to be critical when (1) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates, and assumptions could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
In preparation of these consolidated financial statements, management applied critical estimates and assumptions while determining the carrying value of our equity method investments and fair value measurements, and while performing impairment assessments on long-lived assets and goodwill. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurement
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, consisting primarily of our investment in debt securities and warrants. The investments in debt securities are accounted for on an as-converted basis using a Black-Scholes model and the warrants are accounted for using a Monte Carlo valuation. Adjustments to fair value require quantitative assessments according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques measure fair value and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Equity Method Investments
The carrying value of our equity method investments is determined based on amounts invested by the Company, adjusted for the Company’s share in the earnings or losses of each investee, after consideration of contractual arrangements that govern allocations of income or loss, less distributions received. For investments where the specified allocations of income or loss are different from the allocation of cash from operations and on liquidation, the Company utilizes the hypothetical liquidation book value method to allocate income or loss from the equity method investment. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill is allocated at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. We have one operating segment and reporting unit, and evaluate goodwill for impairment as one singular reporting unit. We evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of a triggering event, such as substantive unfavorable changes in economic conditions, industry trends, costs, cash flows, or ongoing declines in market capitalization. Goodwill impairment testing was performed using the income approach via a discounted cash flow model. The income approach estimates fair value by converting future cash flows to a current amount on the measurement date after taking into consideration marketplace conditions. Assumptions including discount rate and estimated future cash flows had a significant impact to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Innventure, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Innventure, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception and, as of December 31, 2025, had both an accumulated deficit and working capital deficit, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Innventure, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from October 2, 2024 through December 31, 2024 (“Successor”), and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in mezzanine capital, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period January 1, 2024 through October 1, 2024 (“Predecessor”), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 2, 2024 through December 31, 2024 (Successor), the period from January 1 2024 through October 1, 2024 (“Predecessor”), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has working capital deficiencies that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business
Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to "Innventure", "we", "us", "our" and "the Company" refer to the business and operations of Innventure LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Predecessor”) for all periods prior to the Closing (as defined below) and to the business and operations of Innventure, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Successor”) for all periods after Closing.
Innventure is an industrial growth conglomerate that founds, funds, and operates companies with a focus on commercializing transformative, sustainable technology solutions acquired or licensed from technology innovators, which are typically Multinational Corporations (‘‘MNCs’’), with the intent to maximize value for investors and other stakeholders through positive cash flow generated through long-term ownership of operating subsidiaries. As owner-operators, our goal is to take what we believe to be breakthrough technologies that have advanced beyond proof of concept from evaluation to scaled commercialization utilizing an approach designed to help mitigate risk in collaboration with the MNCs (our channel partner(s)), as we build disruptive companies that we believe have the potential to achieve a target enterprise value of at least $1 billion. We define ‘‘disruptive’’ as innovations that, in our opinion, have the ability to significantly change the way businesses, industries, markets, and/or consumers operate. Innventure, Inc., is headquartered in Orlando, Florida.
Business Combination
On October 24, 2023, Learn SPAC HoldCo, Inc. (“Holdco”), a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Learn CW Investment Corporation (“Learn CW”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, LCW Merger Sub, Inc. (“LCW Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, and Innventure Merger Sub, LLC (“Innventure Merger Sub” and together with LCW Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Innventure LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
As further discussed below and in Note 8. Business Combinations, on October 2, 2024 (the “Closing Date” or “Closing”), Learn CW and Innventure LLC consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Following the Closing, both Learn CW and Innventure LLC became subsidiaries of Holdco, Holdco changed its name to “Innventure, Inc.” and became a publicly traded company. Holdco was determined to be the accounting acquirer.
Both Learn CW and Holdco, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Learn CW prior to the Business Combination, were created for the purpose of consummating a business combination. Innventure, Inc. and its subsidiaries is the successor to Innventure LLC following the Business Combination and is a Delaware corporation, whose common stock is listed and traded on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”). Following the Business Combination, the Company continues the business of Innventure LLC. The information provided in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflects two distinct periods, the period up to the Closing Date labeled as the Predecessor and the period including and after that date labeled as the Successor. The Business Combination was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the Closing Date, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include a black line division which indicates that the Predecessor and Successor reporting entities shown are presented on a different basis and are therefore, not comparable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Successor consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. The Predecessor consolidated financial statements include all accounts of Innventure LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we identified an error and recorded an immaterial out of period adjustment of $12.4 million to correct an overstatement of Additional paid-in capital, an immaterial out of period adjustment of $4.5 million to correct understatement of Net loss attributable to Innventure, Inc. stockholders and an immaterial out of period adjustment of $16.9 million to correct an understatement of Non-controlling interest. The impact of the adjustments are not material to the consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual periods prior to December 31, 2025 nor the current financial period. The out of period adjustment to Additional paid-in capital is included in Non-controlling interest issued and related transfers within the condensed consolidated statements of changes in mezzanine and stockholders' equity (deficit) and the adjustment related to Net loss attributable to Innventure, Inc. within Comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interest on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $60.4 million, accumulated deficit of $371.6 million and a working capital deficit of $6.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company incurred a net loss of $475.4 million. Management believes the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional capital or debt financing to proceed with its business plans. Additionally, the future value of investments held is unpredictable and subject to market events outside of the Company’s control.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations, management has determined that in order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from cash flows from operations, the sale of its capital and/or issuance of debt. The Company intends to obtain additional financing in the future to proceed with its business plans. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will improve our operating results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Innventure, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of assets and liabilities on a recurring and nonrecurring basis according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Investments
Equity Method Investments
Equity method investments are investments where the Company does not consolidate the investee, but can exert significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee.
The carrying value of our equity method investments is determined based on amounts invested by the Company, adjusted for the Company’s share in the earnings or losses of each investee, after consideration of contractual arrangements that govern allocations of income or loss, less distributions received. For investments where the specified allocations of income or loss are different from the allocation of cash from operations and on liquidation, the Company utilizes the hypothetical liquidation book value method to allocate income or loss from the equity method investment. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.
Cash distributions received as a result of the Company’s share of cumulative earnings are classified as operating activities. Cash distributions, if any, received that are in excess of the Company’s share of cumulative earnings or losses are classified as investing activities.
Exchange-traded Investments
Exchange-traded equity investments are generally carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in the fair value recorded through net income (“FVTNI”) within non-operating income (expense).
Variable Interest and Voting Interest Entities
The Company performs an analysis of its investments to determine if they are either a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) or a Voting Interest Entity (“VOE”). Factors considered in this analysis include the entity’s legal organization; the entity’s capital structure and sufficiency of equity at risk; the rights of equity investment holders; the Company’s contractual involvement with, and economic interest in, the entity; and any related party or de facto agent implications of the Company’s involvement with the entity. Entities that are determined to be VIEs are consolidated if the Company is the primary beneficiary (“PB”) of the entity. If the Company is not deemed to be the PB of a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE as either an equity method investment or other investment, as applicable. VOEs are typically consolidated if the Company holds the majority voting interest.
Upon the occurrence of certain events (such as changes in the investment or the governance structure), management reviews and reconsiders its previous conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a VIE or VOE, and when applicable, whether the Company continues to qualify as the PB of a VIE. Refer to Note 3. Investments for further discussion on investments in VIEs.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Impairments of Investments
Management periodically assesses equity method investments for impairment. If impairment exists, an impairment charge would be recorded for the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over its estimated fair value in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Impairment evaluation considers qualitative factors, including the financial conditions and specific events related to an investee, that may indicate the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value.
Available-for-Sale Investments
Available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities are generally reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). AFS debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Allowance for credit losses on AFS debt securities are recognized as a charge in other loss on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and any remaining unrealized losses, net of taxes, are included in other comprehensive income (loss).
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash, money market funds and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company has concentrated credit risk for cash and cash equivalents by maintaining deposits in banks, which may, at times, exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and management continues to monitor the financial condition of the major financial institutions where these funds are held.
Cash that is restricted and not available for general operations is considered restricted cash. The Company's restricted cash is related to cash received through the Company's Class B Preferred Stock capital raise and held in escrow prior to finalization of the Class B Preferred Stock investment. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had restricted cash related to the capital raise of $5.0 million and, as of December 31, 2024, had no restricted cash.
Additionally, the Company maintains certain compensating balances that may be withdrawn, but the availability of short-term lines of credit is dependent upon the maintenance of such compensating balances. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had compensating balances of $0.1 million.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined principally under the average cost method.
The Company periodically reviews its inventory and identifies that which is excess, slow moving and obsolete by considering factors such as inventory levels, expected product life and forecasted sales demand. Any identified excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory is written down to its net realizable value through a charge to cost of sales.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates the cost of property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method with depreciable lives of 10 years for Machinery & equipment, 3 years for Computers & office equipment and the lesser of useful life or the remaining lease terms for Leasehold improvements. The Company expenses normal maintenance and repair costs as incurred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses its property, plant and equipment and other long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. In the event such an asset is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. If such assets are not impaired, but their useful lives have decreased, the remaining net book value is depreciated over the revised useful life. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
If required, recoverability of these assets is determined by comparison of their carrying value to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining estimated useful lives. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique.
Goodwill
Goodwill reflects the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. The Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of its reporting unit, the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. The Company operates in one operating segment which the Company considers to be its only reporting unit. There was a $346.6 million impairment of goodwill recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025 and no impairment recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Stock and Warrants
Stock may be classified as a liability, temporary capital (i.e., mezzanine capital) or permanent stockholders' equity. In order to determine the appropriate classification, an evaluation of the cash redemption and other features is required. Where there exists an absolute right of redemption presently or in the future, the units in question would be classified as a liability. If units are contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is outside of the issuer’s control, the units are classified as mezzanine capital. The probability that the redemption event will occur is irrelevant. If no redemption features exist, or if a contingent redemption feature is within the Company’s control, the capital unit would be considered permanent stockholders' equity.
The Company accounts for warrants to acquire stock as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms. In order to determine the appropriate classification, consideration is given as to whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions. This assessment requires the use of judgment and is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each reconsideration and balance sheet date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for stockholders' equity classification, the warrants are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at fair value at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for stockholders' equity classification, the warrants are recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at fair value as of each reconsideration and balance sheet date thereafter. The change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s product sales arrangements contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer, based on the contractual terms. This typically occurs when title and risk and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded net of sales taxes, discounts, and expected returns. Sales discounts and other incentives are treated as variable consideration when estimating the revenue to be recognized.
The Company earns management fees, consulting revenue and carried interest allocations from investment advisory services it provides to its customers. The Company considers the investment advisory services represent a single performance obligation. Management fees, generally 1-2% of capital committed to the Innventus ESG Fund I, L.P. (the “ESG Fund”), are recognized over time using the time-elapsed method, resulting in straight-line revenue recognition over the performance period. Management fees are considered variable consideration but are typically fully recognized at the end of each reporting period as they are not subject to clawback. Carried interest allocations, typically 10-20%, are recognized based on cumulative fund performance and are subject to achieving minimum return levels, usually 8%. These allocations are considered variable consideration and are recognized when a significant reversal is no longer probable.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company participates in multiple stock-based compensation plans which are further discussed in Note 14. Stock-based Compensation.
The fair value of stock-based awards is measured on the grant date of the award and recognized as compensation expense over the period of service that generally coincides with the vesting period of the award. Service-based awards vest over the period defined in each individual grant agreement. For equity awards with a graded vesting schedule, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award.
Expense related to grants of stock-based awards is included in the respective expense category in which the employee serves in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
Income Taxes
Prior to the Business Combination, Innventure LLC qualified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes that consolidated financial results with corporate subsidiaries within the financial statements. Consequently, federal income taxes were not payable or provided by Innventure LLC but various corporate subsidiaries were subject to corporate federal, state, and local taxes. Corporate income taxes were recorded for the period from January 1, 2024 through October 1, 2024.
On October 2, 2024, the Business Combination occurred which merged Innventure LLC into Innventure Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company became a publicly traded entity and began being taxed as a corporation. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of current tax liabilities or receivables for the amount of taxes that are estimated as payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.

Innventure, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740-10 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in our income tax returns is recognized in the financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits”. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryover or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740-10. Interest costs and related penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated, if applicable. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

ESG Fund
The ESG Fund is an investment company that follows a specialized basis of accounting established by GAAP. The Company’s general partnership interest in the ESG Fund is substantially illiquid. While the ESG Fund’s holdings are accounted for at fair value, the equity-method investment in the ESG Fund is adjusted to reflect the fair value of the underlying investments of the ESG Fund as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The fair value of the underlying investments in the ESG Fund is based on the Company’s assessment, which takes into account expected cash flows, earnings multiples and/or comparisons to similar market transactions, among other factors. Valuation adjustments reflecting consideration of credit quality, concentration risk, sales restrictions and other liquidity factors are integral to valuing these instruments.
AeroFlexx
The Company determined that AeroFlexx has insufficient equity at risk to fund its operations, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and therefore will meet the definition of a VIE. The Company does not have power to direct AeroFlexx's operations. AeroFlexx’s core operations are not closely associated with the Company and it was not created specifically to provide substantially all benefits to Innventure. Therefore, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate AeroFlexx as a VIE. The Company accounts for its investments in

Investment in debt securities - AFS
On July 1, 2024, the Company entered into a loan agreement with AeroFlexx under which the Company will lend up to $10.0 million to AeroFlexx.
The term loans and any unpaid accrued interest are required to be repaid by the maturity date, which is the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii) the date of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all AeroFlexx’s assets or AeroFlexx's stock. After any full or partial repayment of the term loans, AeroFlexx may borrow additional funds up to the $10.0 million limit until the maturity date. The loans bear interest at the applicable federal rate published by the Internal Revenue Service and is adjusted on a quarterly basis.
The Company has an option to convert the outstanding principal amount of the term loans and any unpaid accrued interest into shares or units in connection with the next issuance of equity securities by AeroFlexx, at a price equal to 100% of the price per share or unit and on the same terms and conditions as applicable to such issuance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
During 2024, the Company lent AeroFlexx the entire $10.0 million principal balance under this agreement. As of January 1, 2025, AeroFlexx was unable to raise any additional equity financing; therefore, the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest with an amount equal to the equity deficit of $7.3 million was automatically converted into Class D preferred units of AeroFlexx (“Class D Units”) at the price of $6.83 per share in accordance with the loan agreement. Upon conversion, a realized gain of $1.5 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025 and is included in non-operating income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The total principal balance drawn as of December 31, 2025 was $10.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, $4.4 million was reclassified from Due from related parties under the term loan and $2.7 million was drawn down by AeroFlexx under the term loan.
The Company accounted for the loans as an investment in debt securities and classified them as available for sale debt securities. Based on the AFS classification, the Company records this investment at fair value at each reporting date and as such recorded the changes in fair value of these loans (including the adjustment to fair value at inception date) in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI").
The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of AFS debt securities is represented in the table below (in thousands):

measurement: the Purchased Put Option and Forward Contract. These are considered freestanding financial instruments not indexed to the Company’s stock.
The Purchased Put Option is accounted for as a derivative asset, initially measured at fair value upon Closing and subsequently measured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Purchased Put Option fair value is considered de minimis upon Closing due to the exercise price being at a discount to market prices and remains nominal as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Forward Contract is initially measured at fair value upon any Advance Notice (as defined below) and subsequently remeasured with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). A derivative liability or asset will be recorded when there is an Advance Notice outstanding as of a reporting period. There were no outstanding Advance Notices as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Investment in debt securities - AFS
The investment in debt securities is stated at fair value as described in Note 3. Investments. The terms of the securities are such that they are highly likely to convert into Class D Units of AeroFlexx. The fair value of the debt securities is estimated on an as-converted basis using a discounted cash flow model by discounting the contractual debt cash flows at a rate incorporating the credit risk of AeroFlexx as of December 31, 2025 and using a Black-Scholes model as of December 31, 2024 incorporating breakpoints upon which each tranche of AeroFlexx equity participates in distributions.
Volatility n/a 120 %
Time to liquidity n/a 2 years
Discount for lack of marketability n/a 31.00 %
Weighted average cost of capital n/a 45.00 %
Risk-free rate n/a 4.23 %
AeroFlexx yield 17.01 %
As further discussed in Note 3. Investments, outstanding principal and accrued interest of $7.3 million for the investment in debt securities - AFS was automatically converted into Class D Units in accordance with the loan agreement. Prior to the conversion, the fair value was estimated using a Black Scholes model. Post conversion, the fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model by discounting the contractual debt cash flows at a rate incorporating the credit risk of AeroFlexx.
Earnout Shares
Upon Closing of the Business Combination, Earnout Shares were issued to previous Innventure Members and contingently issued to Sponsors (as defined and further described in Note 10. Earnout Shares). The fair value of the Earnout Shares was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model that utilizes significant assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, and risk-free rate, to determine the probability of achieving common share price and revenue milestones. The shares may vest upon either the achievement of the common share price milestone or revenue or event-based milestones specific to each of three tranches. Specifically, the future stock price of the Company and revenues of Accelsius and AeroFlexx are simulated assuming a Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) in a risk-neutral framework. The Earnout Share payoff is calculated based on the contractual terms, and then discounted at the term-matched risk-free rate. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the remaining contractual term of the Earnout Shares. Discounting conventions of revenue-based milestones are mid-period assuming annual revenue forecasts are earned on average at the mid-period of the forecast period. The value of the Earnout Shares is calculated as the average present value over all future modeled payoffs.

The inputs used in simulating the Company’s stock price include, the term, stock price, volatility, risk-free rate and dividend yield. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company never paid or declared dividends, thus the dividend yield is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts and is estimated to be 0% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The following table summarizes the inputs used in simulating the Company’s stock price for purposes of valuing the Earnout Shares:
Term 5.8 years 6.8 years
The Earnout Shares related to Milestone Three are liability classified, and the Earnout Shares related to Milestone One and Two are equity classified as further described in Note 10. Earnout Shares. The assumptions used in measuring fair value of Milestone Three Earnout Shares are considered Level 3 inputs, which include weighted average cost of capital risk premium, operational leverage ratio, revenue risk premium and revenue volatility.
For further information on the Earnout Shares, refer to Note 10. Earnout Shares.
Warrants
In October 2024, The Company issued freestanding warrants (the “2024 WTI Warrants”) to the WTI Lenders in connection with the WTI Facility (as defined and further described in Note 5. Borrowings and Note 11. Warrants). The fair value measurement of 2024 WTI Warrants is based on unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurement).
The fair value of the 2024 WTI Warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model in which the future stock price is simulated assuming a GBM in a risk-neutral framework. The model utilizes significant assumptions including stock price, stock price volatility, and credit spread. The credit spread relates to estimated counterparty credit risk of Innventure being able to make payments related to the WTI Lenders’ put right, in which the 2024 WTI Lenders may exchange the WTI Warrants for a total cash payment of $15.0 million after the four-year anniversary of issuance. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve.
In April 2025, the Company issued freestanding warrants (the 2025 “WTI Warrants”) to the WTI Lenders in connection with the WTI Facility (as defined and further described in Note 5. Borrowings and Note 11. Warrants). The fair value measurement of 2025 WTI Warrants is based on unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurement).

The initial fair value of the 2025 WTI Warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model in which the future stock price is simulated assuming a GBM in a risk-neutral framework. The model utilizes significant assumptions including stock price, stock price volatility and credit spread. Specifically, the initial valuation as of the April 14, 2025 issuance date considered a stock price of $3.65, stock price volatility of 57.00%, and credit spread of 27.70%. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The following table summarizes the inputs used in the GBM for purposes of valuing the WTI Warrants as of each year end:
Geometric Brownian Motion Stock price $ 4.18 N/A
Stock price volatility 60.00 % N/A
Credit spread 26.00 % N/A
Geometric Brownian Motion Stock price $ 4.18 $ 13.85
Significant increases or decreases to any of these inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower liability. For further information on the 2024 WTI Warrants (as defined below), and 2025 WTI Warrants, refer to Note 11. Warrants.
Derivative Liabilities
Embedded derivative liabilities contained within the previously issued 8% convertible promissory notes (the “2025 Notes”) were stated at fair value. Fair value was determined utilizing discounted cash flows, using unobservable market data inputs, and an option pricing model based on a probability-weighted expected outcome with respect to a financing or a change of control. The derivatives associated with the 2025 Notes were settled in March 2024 due to conversion of the 2025 Notes in a qualified financing. A summary of the significant unobservable inputs utilized to estimate the fair value at settlement is as follows:

As further discussed and defined in Note 5. Borrowings, the Company issued Convertible Debentures (as defined below) which contain certain features which qualify as embedded derivates requiring bifurcation. The fair value of the embedded derivative is determined utilizing a “with and without” method, in which the fair value is calculated as the difference in the fair value of the entire hybrid instrument and the fair value of the instrument excluding the bifurcated derivative features. The initial fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using a discounted cash flow model as of April 14, 2025 and May 15, 2025 which is reflective of the dates of the Convertible Debenture issuances. The model uses a significant assumption of a debt yield of 44.5% for the April 14, 2025 issuance and 42.6% for the May 15, 2025 issuance.
Embedded derivative asset - Convertible Debentures:
Binomial Lattice Model Stock price $ 5.79
Stock price volatility 60.00 %
At the time of issuance of the August 2025 Notes (defined below), the related embedded derivative liability had a de minimis fair value. On September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $1,677 for the embedded derivative liability related to the contingent exchange feature. The fair value was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model, utilizing inputs related to the risk-free rate, volatility, time to liquidity, and the Accelsius Series B-1 issuance price. Specifically, the September 30, 2025 valuation considered a risk-free rate of 3.66%, volatility of 70.00%, time to liquidity of 4.25 years, and an Accelsius Series B-1 unit issuance price of $36.49. The derivative associated with the August 2025 notes were settled in October 2025 due to the conversion of the August 2025 Notes in a qualified financing.
