Product Revenue
In fiscal 2026, product revenue increased $18.2 million, or 12%, as compared to fiscal 2025. The primary driver of this increase was strong demand across all secondary storage product lines including Scalar tape storage products, DXi backup appliances, and ActiveScale object storage appliances. Demand growth increased worldwide with product revenues increasing across all regions. Overall secondary storage revenue increased by $27.1 million, or 36.7% as compared to fiscal 2025. Devices and media revenues also increased by $6.1 million, or 17.7% as compared to fiscal 2025. These increases were partially offset by continuing declines in primary storage.
Service and Subscription Revenue
Service and subscription revenue decreased $11.4 million, or 10%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025. This decrease was due in part to certain long-lived products reaching their end-of-service-life, partially offset by new support bookings and the transition towards subscription-based licensing.
Royalty Revenue
We receive royalties from third parties that license our linear-tape open media patents through our membership in the linear-tape open consortium. Royalty revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 14%, in fiscal 2026, as compared to fiscal 2025, related to lower overall unit shipments.

Gross profit and margin percentages are key metrics that management monitors to assess the performance on the business.
Product Gross Margin
Product gross margin decreased 130 basis points for fiscal 2026, as compared to fiscal 2025. This decrease was due primarily to a revenue mix slightly more weighted towards lower margin devices and media products. Product costs also fluctuated through the year from external factors such as import tariffs and component material costs.
Service and Subscription Gross Margin
Service and subscription gross margin decreased 50 basis points for fiscal 2026, as compared to fiscal 2025. This decrease was due primarily to higher shipping and handling costs and inventory carrying charges, partially offset by lowered internal costs from continued improvement in operational design.
Royalty Gross Margin

In fiscal 2026, general and administrative expenses decreased $20.0 million, or 31%, as compared with fiscal 2025 This decrease was primarily driven by large non-recurring projects not recurring in fiscal 2026 including the launch of a new ERP system in the prior year. Expenses also decreased as administrative efficiency gains were realized through more streamlined functions and process automation.
In fiscal 2026, research and development expenses decreased $7.6 million, or 25%, as compared with fiscal 2025. This decrease was the result of the efficiencies realized through improved organization design, better aligning commonalities between major products.
In fiscal 2026, restructuring charges increased $4.0 million, or 98%, as compared with fiscal 2025. This increase is driven by corporate restructuring activities as we consolidated our physical footprint and operations in certain markets.

We recorded a non-cash gain of $45.3 million in the same period in fiscal 2025 related to lender warrants issued to the holders of our Term Loan. These warrants were exercised in December 2024 and January 2025. This gain was primarily driven by fluctuations in our stock price.

In fiscal 2026, we recorded a loss of $59.6 million on debt extinguishment primarily related to the September 2025 and December 2025 debt transactions, partially offset by a gain on termination of our revolving credit facility in August 2025. In fiscal 2025, loss on debt extinguishment, net was related to prepayment of our long-term debt.
Income tax provision

(in thousands) 2026 % of pretax income 2025 % of pretax income $ Change % Change
In fiscal 2026, the income tax provision increased $0.2 million or 23%, compared to fiscal 2025. The income tax provision increased in 2026 primarily due to a higher valuation allowance and a significant warrant mark-to-market adjustment, which together offset the federal statutory tax benefit from pre-tax losses. Additionally, the expiration of tax attributes contributed to the increase, as previously available deferred tax assets could no longer be used.
Due to our history of net losses in the U.S., the protracted period for utilizing tax attributes in certain foreign jurisdictions, and the difficulty in predicting future results, we believe that we cannot rely on projections of future taxable income to realize most of our deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we have established a full valuation allowance against our U.S. and certain foreign net deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in assessing our ability to realize any future benefit from our net deferred tax assets. We intend to maintain this valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal. Our income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced to the extent that sufficient positive evidence materializes to support a reversal of, or decrease in, our valuation allowance.

Product Revenue
In fiscal 2025, product revenue decreased $20.7 million, or 12%, as compared to fiscal 2024. The primary driver of the decrease was a drop in demand from our large hyperscale customers in the first quarter of the prior year, as well as more general decreases in the overall tape market. Outside of the Tape and Hyperscale business, our remaining Secondary and Primary storage systems are also offered as a subscription.
Service and Subscription Revenue
Service and subscription revenue decreased $15.9 million, or 13%, in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. This decrease was due in part to certain long-lived products reaching their end-of-service-life, partially offset by new support bookings and the transition towards subscription-based licensing.
Royalty Revenue
We receive royalties from third parties that license our linear-tape open media patents through our membership in the linear-tape open consortium. Royalty revenue decreased $0.9 million, or 9%, in fiscal 2025, as compared to fiscal 2024, related to lower overall unit shipments.

In fiscal 2025, the income tax provision increased $0.1 million, or 15%, compared to fiscal 2024. The income tax provision increased in 2025 primarily due to a higher valuation allowance and a warrant mark-to-market adjustment, which together offset the federal statutory tax benefit from pre-tax losses. Additionally, the expiration of tax attributes contributed to the increase, as previously available deferred tax assets could no longer be used.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We consider liquidity in terms of the sufficiency of internal and external cash resources to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet and proceeds from the sale of Common Stock under the SEPA (as defined herein). In fiscal 2025, there were also amounts available under our revolving credit facility agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as amended from time to time (the “PNC Credit Facility”) however, this agreement was terminated in August 2025. We require significant cash resources to provide for our research and development activities, fund our working capital needs, and make capital expenditures. Our future liquidity requirements will depend on multiple factors, including our research and development plans and capital asset needs.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $15.6 million as of March 31, 2026, which excludes $0.7 million of short-term restricted cash. Our total outstanding Term Loan debt was $55.9 million and the fair value of the Convertible Note (as defined herein) was $90.0 million.

Table of Contents
We generated negative cash flows from operations of approximately $37.9 million and $23.6 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and generated net losses of approximately $101.0 million and $115.1 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We have funded operations through the sale of common stock under the SEPA and debt borrowings as described in Note 4: Debt.
On January 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "SEPA") with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership ("YA"), in which pursuant to and subject to its terms, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $200.0 million of Common Stock at any time during the three-year period following the date of the SEPA. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has sold 8.7 million shares of Common Stock under the SEPA with net proceeds of approximately $91.0 million.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, we completed several transactions which have significantly impacted our future liquidity. On June 1, 2026, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements to issue and sell to certain accredited investors an aggregate of 10,615,712 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. After deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company received net proceeds of $94.7 million. On June 4, 2026, the Company paid an aggregate of $57.8 million in connection with the termination of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. This fully paid down and extinguished our Term Loans (as defined herein). Also on June 4, 2026, the Company provided a notice to YA regarding its termination of the SEPA, effective June 11, 2026. There were no amounts owed to YA under the SEPA at the time the termination notice was provided. See Note 13: Subsequent Events,for further details. With the cash proceeds, after repayment of the Term Loans, we forecast that operating performance, cash and current working capital will provide us with sufficient capital to fund operations for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $19.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2025 due primarily to cash proceeds from the SEPA, partially offset by the repayment of the PNC Credit Facility in August 2025.
Commitments and Contingencies
Our contingent liabilities consist primarily of certain financial guarantees, both express and implied, related to product liability and potential infringement of intellectual property. We have little history of costs associated with such indemnification requirements and contingent liabilities associated with product liability may be mitigated by our insurance coverage. In the normal course of business to facilitate transactions of our services and products, we indemnify certain parties with respect to certain matters, such as intellectual property infringement or other claims. We also have indemnification agreements with our current and former officers and directors. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of our indemnification claims, and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements have not had a material impact on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.
We are also subject to ordinary course of business litigation, See Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations
Contractual obligations are cash amounts that we are obligated to pay as part of certain contracts that we have entered into during the normal course of business. Below is a table that shows our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2026 (in thousands):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical to understanding our financial statements because the application of these policies requires significant judgment on the part of management, which could have a material impact on our financial statements if actual performance should differ from historical experience or if our assumptions were to change. The following accounting policies include estimates that require management’s subjective or complex judgments about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. For information on our
38
Table of Contents
significant accounting policies, including the policies discussed below, see Note 1: Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenue is derived from three main sources: (a) products, (b) service and subscription, and (c) royalties. Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as stand ready obligations. Product revenue is recognized at the point in time when the customer takes control of the product, which typically occurs at the point of shipment. Service and subscription revenue consists of customer support agreements, software subscriptions, installation, and consulting and training. Our software subscriptions include term licenses which are recognized as revenue when the license has been delivered to the customer and related customer support, which is recognized ratably over the service period. Revenue from customer support agreements is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the agreement. Installation services are typically completed within a short period of time and revenue from these services is recognized at the point when installation is complete. A majority of our consulting and training revenue does not take significant time to complete therefore these obligations are satisfied upon completion of such services over time as each day is completed. We license certain products under royalty arrangements, pursuant to which our licensees periodically provide us with reports containing units sold to end users subject to the royalties. The reports substantiate that our performance obligation has been satisfied and we recognize royalty revenue based on the reports or when amounts can be reasonably estimated.
There are significant judgments used when applying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"), to contracts with customers. Most of our contracts contain multiple goods and services designed to meet each customer's unique storage needs. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the good or service underlying each performance obligation. Where standalone selling price may not be directly observable (e.g., the performance obligation is not sold separately), we maximize the use of observable inputs by using information including internal discounting practices, competitor pricing, competitor margins, performance obligations with similar customers and product groupings. Determining the observable inputs and applying them to our performance obligations requires significant judgment. We reassess standalone selling price determination periodically.
Product revenue may be impacted by a variety of price adjustments or other factors, including rebates, returns and stock rotation. We use the expected value method to estimate the net consideration expected to be returned by the customer. We use historical data and current trends to drive our estimates. We record a reduction to revenue to account for these items that may result in variable consideration. We initially measure a returned asset at the carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods including potential decreases in value of the returned goods.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, measured at the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Based on the evaluation of available evidence, both positive and negative, we recognize future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered to be more likely than not.
A valuation allowance is provided if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance, if any, that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset, is included in the tax provision.
We recognize the financial statement effects of an uncertain income tax position when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances and changes in tax law. We recognize penalties and tax-related interest expense as a component of income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 9: Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Inventories
39
Table of Contents
Manufacturing Inventories
Our manufacturing inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Costs include material, direct labor, and an allocation of overhead. Adjustments to reduce the cost of manufacturing inventory to its net realizable value, if required, are made for estimated excess, obsolete or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include declines in demand, rapid technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality issues. Revisions to these adjustments would be required if these factors differ from our estimates.
Service Parts Inventories
Our service parts inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on a FIFO basis. Service parts inventories consist of both component parts, which are primarily used to repair defective units, and finished units, which are provided for customer use permanently or on a temporary basis while the defective unit is being repaired. We record adjustments to reduce the carrying value of service parts inventory to its net realizable value and dispose of parts with no use and a net realizable value of zero. Factors influencing these adjustments include product life cycles, end of service life plans and the volume of enhanced or extended warranty service contracts. Estimates of net realizable value involve significant estimates and judgments about the future, and revisions would be required if these factors differ from our estimates.
Warrant Accounting
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance: ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“Topic 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to Topic 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to Topic 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under Topic 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of 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 for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance or modification. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
Convertible Note
Pursuant to ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), the Company has elected the fair value option for the convertible note issued in December 2025 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is initially recorded at its estimated fair value on the date of issuance and subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting period-end. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in “Change in fair value of Convertible Note” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, which includes the component related to accrued interest. In accordance with ASC 825, the portion of the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company determined that the change attributable to instrument-specific credit risk was immaterial. See Note 11: Fair Value of Financial Instruments, with respect to the fair value option election, and Note 4: Debt, for a discussion of the Convertible Note.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure due to potential changes in inflation or interest rates. We do not hold financial instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under our variable interest rate term debt. See Note 4: Debt to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our long-term debt. Changes in the market interest rate will increase or decrease our interest expense. Assuming no change in the outstanding borrowings under the term debt during fiscal 2026, a hypothetical 100-basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates sustained throughout the year would not result in a material change to our annual interest expense. Our other long-term debt related to lease obligations have fixed interest rates and terms, and as such, we consider the associated risk to our results of operations from changes in market rates of interest applied to our lease obligations to be minimal.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We conduct business in certain international markets. Because we operate in international markets, we have exposure to different economic climates, political arenas, tax systems and regulations that could affect foreign exchange rates. Our primary exposure to foreign currency risk relates to transacting in foreign currency and recording the activity in U.S. dollars. Changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these other currencies will result in transaction gains or losses, which we recognize in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
To the extent practicable, we minimize our foreign currency exposures by maintaining natural hedges between our assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. We may enter into foreign exchange derivative contracts or other economic hedges in the future. Our goal in managing our foreign exchange risk is to reduce to the extent practicable our potential exposure to the changes that exchange rates might have on our earnings.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Quantum Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, 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 March 31, 2026, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2025, were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 26, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated June 25, 2026, expressed an adverse opinion.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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. 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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Determination of Standalone Selling Price
As described further in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s contracts with customers often include multiple performance obligations. The transaction price of each contract is allocated to individual performance obligations based upon relative stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). The SSP of performance obligations is determined based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products and services or alternative methods. If the SSP is not directly observable, the Company will estimate the SSP considering historical and current selling prices, internal discounting practices, and competitor information for similar products/services, which can require significant judgment and are subject to change based on continuous reevaluation.
43
Table of Contents
Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determination and allocation of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation, for products and services that are not sold separately.
Given these factors, the related audit effort in evaluating management’s judgments in determining and allocating the SSP of performance obligations was challenging, subjective, and complex and required a high degree of auditor judgment.
How our audit addressed the Critical Audit Matter
Our principal audit procedures related to the determination and allocation of the SSP of performance obligations included the following:
•We gained an understanding of and evaluated the design and implementation of the Company’s controls that address the risk of material misstatement related to the determination and allocation of SSP to performance obligations.
•We evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to revenue recognition for reasonableness.
•We evaluated the appropriateness of the overall methodology used by management to develop the estimates, including considering whether the methodology maximized the use of observable outputs.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s estimate of stand-alone selling prices for products and services that are not sold separately.
•We tested management’s process, including by evaluating key assumptions for performance obligations that do not include directly observable sales. Specifically, included in our procedures we:
◦considered the consistency with external market and competitor margin data for products and services;
◦evaluated the appropriateness of the categorization and classification of products and services;
◦recalculated and evaluated the inputs used in management’s calculations, including selling prices and discounts;
◦evaluated the completeness and accuracy of management’s calculations of estimated selling prices, including the allocation between products and services.

Quantum Corporation
Adverse Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Quantum Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment:
Revenue Recognition — The Company did not maintain effective internal control related to revenue recognition for the following: (i) internal control for reviewing and updating deferred revenue schedules; (ii) internal control over the accuracy of the inputs into the sales order entry process; and (iii) internal control over the allocation of revenue to performance obligations on a stand-alone selling price basis.
Inventories — The Company did not maintain effective internal control related to inventories. Specifically, internal control over the reconciliation of physical inventories with the Company’s underlying system records.
Income taxes – The Company did not maintain effective internal control related to income taxes. Specifically, the Company did not document and review relevant facts and apply the appropriate tax accounting under accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Control Environment — The Company did not maintain effective entity-level internal control within the control environment to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements. Specifically, the Company (i) did not maintain a sufficient complement of trained, knowledgeable resources to execute their responsibilities with respect to internal control over financial reporting for certain financial statements accounts and disclosures; and (ii) conducted inadequate monitoring activities resulting in untimely or ineffective identification of internal control risks to support the design implementation and evaluation of the internal control necessary to provide effective oversight over financial reporting.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026, and our report dated June 25, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 effective internal control over financial reporting
45
Table of Contents
was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Quantum Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year in the period ended March 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 March 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in the period ended March 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 Company’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 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Quantum Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Quantum”, the “Company”, "our" or "we"), stores and manages digital video and other forms of unstructured data, providing streaming performance for video and rich media applications, along with low-cost, long-term storage systems for data protection and archiving. The Company helps customers around the world capture, create and share digital data and preserve and protect it for decades. The Company’s software-defined, hyperconverged storage solutions span from non-violate memory express (“NVMe”), to solid state drives (“SSD”), hard disk drives, (“HDD”), tape and the cloud and are tied together leveraging a single namespace view of the entire data environment. The Company works closely with a broad network of distributors, value-added resellers (“VARs”), direct marketing resellers (“DMRs”), original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and other suppliers to meet customers’ evolving needs.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company reviews subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as other entities, to determine if they should be considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and whether it should change the consolidation determinations based on changes in their characteristics. The Company considers an entity a VIE if its equity investors own an interest therein that lacks the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or if such investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or if the entity is structured with non-substantive voting interests. To determine whether or not the entity is consolidated with the Company’s results, the Company also evaluates which interests are variable interests in the VIE and which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. There were no VIEs for the years ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-period amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total cash flows. Also, due to the size of the Balance, we have aggregated Manufacturing and Service Inventory into a single line called Inventories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Details of the balances in the Inventories line item has been included in Note 3: Balance Sheet Information.
Reverse Stock Split
On August 15, 2024, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a ratio ranging from 1-for-5 shares up to a ratio of 1-for-20 shares, with the exact ratio, if any, to be selected by the Board and set forth in a public announcement. On August 15, 2024, the Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the common stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of August 26, 2024 at 4:01 p.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, every twenty issued shares of common stock were automatically reclassified into one issued share of common stock, with any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split rounded up to the nearest whole share. The number of outstanding shares of common stock was reduced from approximately 95.9 million shares to approximately 4.8 million shares.
All share and per share amounts for common stock in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Liquidity
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
53
Table of Contents
The Company generated negative cash flows from operations of approximately $37.9 million and $23.6 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and generated net losses of approximately $101.0 million and $115.1 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company has funded operations through the sale of common stock and term debt borrowings in Note 4: Debt and Note 7: Common Stock. Management believes that it has the ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing, if required, and has historically been able to do so. Management also believes that current working capital will provide the Company with sufficient capital to fund operations for at least one year from the consolidated financial statement issuance date.
As previously disclosed, the Company identified that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This was due to the requirement to repay the Term Loans (as defined herein) on August 5, 2026. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed several transactions which resulted in the repayment of the Term Loans and removed the substantial doubt noted above. On June 1, 2026, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements to issue and sell to certain accredited investors an aggregate of 10,615,712 shares of the Company’s common stock. After deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company received net proceeds of $94.7 million. On June 4, 2026, the Company paid an aggregate of $57.8 million in connection with the termination of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. This fully paid down and extinguished the Company's Term Loans. Also on June 4, 2026, the Company provided a notice to YA II PN, Ltd. ("YA") regarding its termination of the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "SEPA"), effective June 11, 2026. There were no amounts owed to YA under the SEPA at the time the termination notice was provided. See Note 13: Subsequent Events, for further details. With the cash proceeds, after repayment of the Term Loans, the Company forecasts that operating performance, cash and current working capital will provide sufficient capital to fund operations for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of standalone selling price for revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations, inventory adjustments, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, stock-based compensation, fair value of warrants, fair value of the convertible note and provision for income taxes including related reserves. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company has cash deposits and cash equivalents deposited in or managed by major financial institutions. Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less and consist primarily of money market accounts. At times the related amounts are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses with these financial institutions and does not believe such balances are exposed to significant credit risk.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is comprised of bank guarantees and similar required minimum balances that serve as cash collateral in connection with various items including insurance requirements, value added taxes, ongoing tax audits and leases in certain countries.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, and stated at realizable value, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses based on historical experience and expected collectability of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, and for the majority of its customers require no collateral. For customers that do not meet the Company’s credit standards, the Company may require a form of collateral, such as cash deposits or letters of credit, prior to the completion of a transaction. These credit evaluations require significant judgment and are based on multiple sources of information. The Company analyzes such factors as its historical bad debt experience, industry and geographic concentrations of credit risk, current economic trends and changes in
54
Table of Contents
customer payment terms. The Company will write-off customer balances in full to the reserve when it has determined that the balance is not recoverable. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in general and administrative expenses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of our financial instruments approximates fair value.
Inventories
Manufacturing inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Costs include material, direct labor, and an allocation of overhead in the case of work in process. Adjustments to reduce the cost of manufacturing inventory to its net realizable value, if required, are made for estimated excess, obsolete or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include declines in demand, rapid technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality issues. Revisions to these adjustments would be required if these factors differ from the Company’s estimates.
Service parts inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on a FIFO basis. The Company carries service parts because it generally provides product warranty for one to three years and earns revenue by providing enhanced and extended warranty and repair services during and beyond this warranty period. Service parts inventories consist of both component parts, which are primarily used to repair defective units, and finished units, which are provided for customer use permanently or on a temporary basis while the defective unit is being repaired. The Company records adjustments to reduce the carrying value of service parts inventory to its net realizable value and disposes of parts with no use and a net realizable value of zero. Factors influencing these adjustments include product life cycles, end of service life plans and volume of enhanced or extended warranty service contracts. Estimates of net realizable value involve significant estimates and judgments about the future, and revisions would be required if these factors differ from the Company’s estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Machinery and equipment 3 to 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or life of lease
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period realized.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. A potential impairment charge is evaluated when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived from an asset group are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses, if applicable, are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. Judgment is used when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of impairment testing, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of the asset group.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price consideration over the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually in the third quarter of the Company's fiscal year as a single reporting unit, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company may elect to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company opts not to qualitatively assess, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. The quantitative test compares its reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, to its fair value calculated based on its enterprise value. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the
55
Table of Contents
excess. The Company did not recognize any impairment of goodwill in any of the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Purchased Intangible Assets
Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of two to four years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived asset group, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company measures the recoverability of this asset group by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset group is expected to generate. If the total of the future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of an asset group, the Company records an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair market value.
Operating Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at commencement date. The interest rates implicit in the Company's operating leases are not readily determinable, and therefore, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to determine the present value of future payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate factors in a hypothetical interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms, payments, and economic environments. The operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") asset is determined based on the lease liability initially established and reduced for any prepaid lease payments and any lease incentives. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components of operating lease contract consideration as a single lease component.
Certain of the operating lease agreements contain rent concession, rent escalation, and option to renew provisions. Rent concession and rent escalation provisions are considered in determining the lease cost. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term commencing on the date the Company has the right to use the leased property. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancelable, lease term when recognizing the lease assets and liabilities, unless it is reasonably certain that an extension or termination option will be exercised.
Certain operating leases require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with the leased asset. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the lease liability to the extent they are variable in nature. These variable lease costs are recognized as a variable lease expense when incurred.
In addition, certain operating lease agreements contain tenant improvement allowances from the Company's landlords. These allowances are accounted for as lease incentives and reduce its ROU asset and lease cost over the lease term.
The Company has applied the practical expedient for short-term leases which have a lease term of less than 12 months and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company recognizes rent expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and record variable lease payments as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from three main sources: (1) product, (2) service and subscription, and (3) royalties. Sales tax collected on sales is netted against government remittances and thus, recorded on a net basis. The Company's performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as stand ready obligations. The majority of revenue is recognized at a point in time when products are accepted or based upon shipping terms when control transfers.
Product Revenue
The Company's product revenue is comprised of multiple storage solution hardware and software offerings targeted towards consumer and enterprise customers. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when the customer takes control of the product. If there are significant post-delivery obligations, the related revenue is

deferred until such obligations are fulfilled. Revenue from contracts with customer acceptance criteria are recognized upon end user acceptance.
Service and Subscription Revenue
Service and subscription revenue consists of four components: (a) post-contract customer support agreements,
(b) software subscriptions, (c) installation, and (d) consulting and training.
Customers have the option to choose between different levels of hardware and software support. The Company's support plans include various stand-ready obligations such as technical assistance hot-lines, replacement parts maintenance, and remote monitoring that are delivered whenever called upon by its customers. Support plans provide additional services and assurance outside the scope of the Company's primary product warranties. Revenue from support plans is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the service contract as this aligns with delivery to the customer.
The Company also sells software subscriptions that include term licenses, which are recognized as revenue when the license is delivered to the customer, and related customer support, which is recognized ratably over the service period.
The Company offers installation services on all its products. Customers can opt to either have Quantum or a Quantum-approved third-party service provider install its products. Installation services are typically completed within a short period of time and revenue from these services are recognized at the point when installation is complete.
A majority of the Company's consulting and training revenue does not take significant time to complete therefore these obligations are satisfied over time as each day is completed.
Royalty Revenue
The Company licenses certain intellectual property to third-party manufacturers which gives the manufacturers rights to intellectual property including the right to either manufacture or include the intellectual property in their products for resale. Licensees pay the Company a per-unit royalty for sales of their products that incorporate its intellectual property. On a periodic and timely basis, the licensees provide the Company with reports containing units sold to end users subject to the royalties. The reports substantiate that the performance obligation has been satisfied therefore revenue is recognized based on the reports or when amounts can be reasonably estimated.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily consists of amounts that have been invoiced, which are typically with net 45-day payment terms, but have not yet been recognized as revenue and performance obligations pertaining to service and subscription contracts which have not been satisfied as of the year end. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the amounts that are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of the consolidated balance sheet dates.
Significant Judgments
The Company generally enters into contracts with customers to provide storage solutions to meet their individual needs. Most of the Company’s contracts contain multiple goods and services designed to meet each customer's unique storage needs. Contracts with multiple goods and services have multiple distinct performance obligations as the promise to transfer hardware, installation services, and support services are capable of being distinct and provide economic benefit to customers on their own.
Standalone selling price
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) of the good or service underlying each performance obligation. The SSP represents the amount for which the Company would sell the good or service to a customer on a standalone basis (i.e., not sold as a bundle with any other products or services). Where SSP may not be directly observable (e.g., the performance obligation is not sold separately), the Company maximized the use of observable inputs by using information including historical and current selling prices, internal discounting practices, competitor information for similar customers and similar products/services, and other observable inputs.

Variable consideration
Product revenue includes multiple types of variable consideration, such as rebates, returns, or stock rotations. All contracts with variable consideration require payment upon satisfaction of the performance obligation typically with net 45-day payment terms. The Company does not include significant financing components in its contracts. The Company constrains estimates of variable consideration to amounts that are not expected to result in a significant revenue reversal in the future, primarily based on the expected value of consideration to be returned to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs.
The expected value method is used to estimate the consideration expected to be returned to the customer. The Company uses historical data and current trends to drive the estimates. The Company records a reduction to revenue to account for these programs. For inventory returns, the Company initially measures this asset at the carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods including potential decreases in the value of the returned goods.
Costs of Obtaining Contracts with Customers
The Company’s primary cost to obtain contracts is sales commissions earned by sales representatives. These costs are incremental and expected to be recovered indirectly through the margin inherent within the contract. A large portion of the Company’s contracts are completed within a one-year performance period, and for contracts with a specified term of one year or less, the Company has elected to apply a practical expedient available in Topic 340-40: Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers, which allows the Company to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company would otherwise have recognized is one year or less.
Sales commissions earned on contracts exceeding one year qualify for capitalization after application of the practical expedient. The duration of these contracts ranges from 1-7 years. Total capitalized costs were $2.3 million and $2.3 million for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total amortization of capitalized costs of obtaining revenue contracts were $1.3 million and $1.3 million for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. These costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the associated sales contract term.
Cost of Service and Subscription Revenue
The Company classifies expenses as service cost of revenue by estimating the portion of its total cost of revenue that relates to providing field support to its customers under contract. These estimates are based upon a variety of factors, including the nature of the support activity and the level of infrastructure required to support the activities from which it earns service and subscription revenue. In the event its service business changes, its estimates of cost of service and subscription revenue may be impacted.
Research and Development Costs
Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes are expensed as incurred. These costs include expenditures for employee compensation, materials used in the development effort, other internal costs, as well as expenditures for third-party professional services. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its software products is reached shortly before the products are released to manufacturing. Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established have not been material, therefore, the Company expenses software-related research and development costs as incurred.
Internal-use Software Costs
The Company capitalizes costs incurred to implement software solely for its internal use, including (i) hosted applications used to deliver the Company's support services, and (ii) certain implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the intended function.
Software implementation costs are capitalized to either other current assets or other long-term assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and amortized over 10 years starting when the software is ready for its intended use. Software implementation costs capitalized were $0.0 million and $1.0 million in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. Related amortization expense for software implementation costs was $1.9 million and $1.8 million during fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Advertising Expense
Advertising expense is recorded as incurred and was $1.9 million and $2.0 million in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Fees
Shipping and handling fees are included in cost of revenue as incurred and were $11.9 million and $6.8 million in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Accrued Restructuring Charges
Accrued restructuring charges include charges related to the realignment and restructuring of the Company’s business operations. These charges represent judgments and estimates of the Company’s costs of severance, closure and consolidation of facilities and settlement of contractual obligations under its operating leases, including sublease rental rates, asset write-offs and other related costs. The Company reassesses the restructuring liability requirements to complete each individual plan under the restructuring programs at the end of each reporting period. If these estimates change in the future or actual results differ from the Company’s estimates, additional charges may be required. See Note 6: Restructuring Charges, for more information.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's international operations generally use their local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average monthly exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Warrant Accounting
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“Topic 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to Topic 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to Topic 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under Topic 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance or modification. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. All Lender Warrants were exercised as of March 31, 2025. Quantum issued a Forbearance Warrant in September 2025. See Note 4: Debt andNote 7: Common Stock, for further details.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the financial reporting carrying values of assets and liabilities and the tax basis of those assets and liabilities, measured at the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.
A valuation allowance is provided if the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance, if any, that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in the Company’s judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset, is included in the tax provision.

Table of Contents
The Company assesses whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances and changes in tax law. The Company recognizes penalties and tax-related interest expense as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records an asset retirement obligation for the fair value of legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset in the period in which the obligation is incurred. In periods subsequent to initial measurement, the Company recognizes changes in the liability resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company’s obligations relate primarily to certain legal obligations to remediate leased property on which certain assets are located. The liability is recorded in Other accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Warranty Expense
The Company warranties its products against certain defects and the terms range from one to three years. The Company provides for the estimated costs of fulfilling its obligations under hardware warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the provision based on historical and projected product failure rates, historical and projected repair costs, and knowledge of specific product failures (if any). The Company regularly reassess its estimates to determine the adequacy of the recorded warranty liability and adjusts the provision, as necessary. See Note 3: Balance Sheet Information, for further information.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs for the Term Loans are recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount and are amortized over their terms using the effective interest method. Amortization of these debt issuance costs is included in interest expense.See Note 4: Debt, for further information.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company classifies stock-based awards granted in exchange for services as either equity awards or liability awards. The classification of an award as either an equity award or a liability award is generally based upon cash settlement options. Equity awards are measured based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the award’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award, less actual forfeitures. No compensation expense is recognized for awards for which participants do not render the requisite services. For equity and liability awards earned based on performance or upon occurrence of a contingent event, when and if the awards will be earned is estimated. If an award is not considered probable of being earned, no amount of stock-based compensation is recognized. If the award is deemed probable of being earned, related compensation expense is recorded over the estimated service period. To the extent the estimate of awards considered probable of being earned changes, the amount of stock-based compensation recognized will also change. We account for forfeitures as they occur for all stock-based awards.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company sells products to customers in a wide variety of industries on a worldwide basis. In countries or industries where the Company is exposed to material credit risk, the Company may require collateral, including cash deposits and letters of credit, prior to the completion of a transaction. The Company does not believe it has significant credit risk beyond that provided for in the consolidated financial statements in the ordinary course of business.

In fiscal 2026, one customer represented more than 10% of total revenues and in fiscal 2025 no customer represented more than 10% of the Company's total revenue.
No customer comprised over 10% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
If the Company is unable to obtain adequate quantities of the inventory needed to sell its products, the Company could face cost increases or delays or discontinuations in product shipments, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. In many cases, the Company’s chosen vendor may be the sole source of supply for the products or parts they manufacture, or services they provide, for the Company. Some of the products the Company purchases from these sources are proprietary or complex in nature, and therefore cannot be readily or easily replaced by alternative sources.
In fiscal 2026 two vendors represented more than 10% of total expenses and in fiscal 2025 two vendors represented more than 10% of our total expenses.
Segment Reporting
The Company’s chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM reviews and utilizes consolidated financial information, including revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income as reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, to assess performance and allocate resources to support strategic priorities. Consolidated net loss is our segment's primary measure of profit or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the CODM, or anyone else, for operations, operating results, and planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has one reportable segment and operates in three geographic regions: (a) Americas; (b) Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”); and (c) Asia Pacific (“APAC”). See Note 12: Segment Information, for more information.
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company sponsors a qualified 401(k) retirement plan for its U.S. employees. The plan covers substantially all employees who have attained the age of 18. Participants may voluntarily contribute to the plan up to the maximum limits established by Internal Revenue Service regulations. For the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 in matching contributions, respectively. The Company suspended its program of matching contributions under the 401(k) retirement plan as of July 2024.
The Company has other defined contribution plans at its international subsidiaries, as required by local law.

Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the PNC Credit Facility are presented within other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
On August 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Term Loan Credit and Security Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which a senior secured term loan was issued (the “2021 Term Loan”), maturing on August 5, 2026. The Company also entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement on December 27, 2018 (the “PNC Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), which, per its terms, was maturing on August 5, 2026 and provided for borrowings up to a maximum principal amount of the lesser of: (a) $40.0 million or (b) the amount of the borrowing base, as defined in the PNC Credit Facility agreement.
On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to the Credit Agreements (the “June 2023 Amendment”) which, among other things, provided an advance of $15.0 million in additional term loan borrowings (the “2023 Term Loan” and, together with the 2021 Term Loan, the "Term Loan") and incurred $0.9 million in original issuance discount and origination fees which have been recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the 2023 Term Loan and amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. The terms of the 2023 Term Loan are substantially similar to the terms of the 2021 Term Loan, including in relation to maturity and security, except that, among other things, (a) the Applicable Margin (i) for any 2023 Term Loan designated an “ABR Loan” is 9.00% per annum and (ii) for any 2023 Term Loan designated as a “SOFR Loan” is 10.00% per annum, (b) accrued interest on the 2023 Term Loan is payable in kind ("PIK"), and is capitalized and added to the principal amount of the 2023 Term Loan at the end of each interest period applicable thereto, (c) the 2023 Term Loan does not amortize prior to the maturity date thereof, and (d) the 2023 Term Loan may not be prepaid prior to the payment in full of the existing term loans. In connection with the 2023 Term Loan, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 62,500 shares (the “June 2023 Warrants”) of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $20.00 per share.
On July 11, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Credit Agreements (the “July 2024 Amendments”) which, among other things, delayed the testing of the Company’s June 30, 2024 net leverage ratio financial covenant until July 31, 2024. In connection with the amendments, the Company issued the Term Loan lenders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the common stock at a purchase price of $8.20 (the “July 2024 Warrants”).
The July 2024 Amendments to the 2021 Term Loan were accounted for as a modification. The fair value of the July 2024 Warrants of $0.4 million is reflected as a reduction to the carrying amount of the 2021 Term Loan and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan. The July 2024 Amendments to the PNC Credit Facility were accounted for as a modification and the $0.1 million in related fees and expenses were recorded to other assets and are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the agreement.
On August 13, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Credit Agreements (the “August 2024 Amendments”) which, among other things, (i) waived compliance with the June 30, 2024 net leverage ratio financial covenant; (ii) waived any non-compliance with the minimum liquidity financial covenant through the date of the amendments; (iii) removed the fixed charges coverage ratio financial covenant until the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025; (iv) waived the testing requirement for the net leverage ratio financial covenant for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024; (v) replaced the net leverage ratio financial covenant with a minimum EBITDA financial covenant for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025; (vi) reset the net leverage ratio financial covenant requirements for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025; (vii) reduced the minimum liquidity covenant to $10 million through September 30, 2025; (viii) adjusted the applicable interest rates on the Term Loan and PNC Credit Facility; (ix) removed required 2021 Term Loan principal amortization until the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025; and (x) repriced certain lender warrants.
In connection with the August 2024 Amendments, the Company entered into a new senior secured delayed draw term loan facility with a borrowing capacity of up to $26.3 million ($25.0 million after original issuance discount) and a commitment period expiring on October 31, 2024 (each draw, an “August 2024 Term Loan”). The Company borrowed $10.5 million at closing (“Initial August 2024 Term Loan”). Borrowings under the August 2024 Term Loan have an August 5, 2026 maturity date, which aligns with the 2021 Term Loan. The principal is payable quarterly beginning September 30, 2025, at a rate per annum equal to 5% of the original principal balance. The August 2024 Term Loan’s interest rate margin is (a) until March 31, 2025 (i) for any August 2024 Term Loan designated as a ‘SOFR Loan’, 12.00% per annum and (ii) for any August 2024 Term Loan designated an ‘ABR Loan’, 11.00% per annum, in each case, with 6.00% of such interest rate margin paid-in-kind, and (b) from April 1, 2025, (i) for any
