Quantum Announces Equity Financing to Strengthen Balance Sheet and Support GrowthJune 2, 2026 8:22 AM
Business Wire Quantum to Eliminate All Debt with Combination of Debt Payoff and Conversion Three concurrent transactions improve liquidity, significantly strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and providing capital to invest in growth Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) today announced three concurrent transactions that together are expected to significantly strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and provide capital for growth. First, the Company has entered into securities purchase agreements to sell shares of common stock in a private placement, which was led by funds managed by Two Seas Capital LP and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., with participation from several other institutional investors, generating gross proceeds of $100.0 million. Second, the Company intends to repay all of its outstanding term debt with a portion of the proceeds of the private placement. Third, Dialectic Technology SPV LLC, as sole beneficial owner of the Company’s Senior Secured Convertible Notes, has agreed to voluntarily convert the entire outstanding principal amount of those Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of common stock. Together, these transactions are expected to significantly strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, eliminate its debt obligations, and provide growth capital to capitalize on increasing demand for cost-efficient, long-term data storage in AI and enterprise environments. With respect to the private placement, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements dated June 1, 2026 to sell an aggregate of 10,615,712 shares of common stock at a price of $9.42 per share. The Company intends to use approximately $94.7 million of the net proceeds from the private placement to repay all of its existing term debt, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The private placement provides Quantum with greater financial flexibility to support ongoing operations and invest in growth initiatives. The Company also plans to commission a report by a third party technology consulting firm on the importance of magnetic tape to HPC data centers. “This transaction represents a significant step forward for Quantum," said Hugues Meyrath, CEO of Quantum Corporation. "We have meaningfully strengthened our balance sheet, eliminated our debt position, and brought in new capital to support the business. Following these actions and debt paydown, we expect to emerge with a positive net cash position and a sustainable capital structure. These transactions signal strong support and credible backing from institutional partners and provide a stronger financial foundation. With improved flexibility, we are better positioned to support our customers, invest in growth, and execute our strategy with a clearer path to long-term value creation, including profitable growth over time.” “These transactions address historical balance sheet constraints and provide the flexibility needed to execute on the company's growth opportunities,” said John Fichthorn, co-founder and managing partner of Dialectic Capital Management. “Given the significant de-risking these transactions represent and the substantial growth opportunities we see for Quantum, Dialectic has agreed to an early conversion of our Convertible Notes to equity. We believe Quantum is now much better positioned for the broader and growing market opportunity in data storage. With AI, the nature of data storage is changing and data storage requirements are evolving toward long-term, cost-efficient, and energy-aware solutions. Tape and complementary platforms have an increasing role to play. Quantum is well positioned to benefit from that shift.” In order to facilitate the equity financing transaction, Dialectic, as sole beneficial owner of the Convertible Notes issued under the Indenture dated December 18, 2025, agreed to voluntarily convert the Convertible Notes into common stock of the Company. Pursuant to a conversion agreement dated June 1, 2026, Dialectic will convert the entire principal amount of the Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of common stock concurrently with the closing of the equity financing transaction. As consideration for Dialectic’s agreement to voluntarily convert its Convertible Notes, the Company agreed to issue additional shares of common stock by converting an amount equal to the present value of nominal PIK interest that would accrue on the Convertible Notes from the closing date of the proposed transactions to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, assuming the Convertible Notes had remained outstanding until the end of the stated term, discounted at a rate of 11%, plus the amount of deferred cash interest owed to Dialectic, applying the same conversion price under the Convertible Notes of $5.194 per share. It is anticipated that an aggregate of 14,104,620 shares of common stock will be issued to Dialectic as a result of the conversion of the Convertible Notes and the agreed upon consideration described above. As additional consideration for Dialectic’s agreement to convert the Convertible Notes, the Company will issue to Dialectic at closing a warrant to purchase up to 105,911 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.194 per share (which is equal to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes in effect following the reset period ended March 31, 2026). In connection with the transactions, certain investors in the private placement and Dialectic entered into a right of first refusal agreement with the Company which provides such investors and Dialectic with a right of first refusal with respect to new issuance and sales of the Company’s equity securities until the earlier of six months from the date of the right of first refusal agreement and completion of the Company’s next equity financing transaction. The securities to be sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The Company has agreed to file a resale registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the private placement and certain shares issued to Dialectic in connection with the Convertible Notes conversion. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the common stock, nor shall there be any sale of these common stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any offering of the common stock under the resale registration statement will only be by means of a prospectus. Transaction Advisors Cantor acted as lead placement agent and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC acted as placement agent for the Company in connection with the private placement. DLA Piper LLP (US) is serving as legal advisor to the placement agents. Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP is serving as legal advisor to the Company. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP is serving as legal advisor to Dialectic. Hogan Lovells US LLP is serving as legal advisor to the lenders under the Company’s existing term debt.

Quantum Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsFebruary 17, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire
Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) ("Quantum" or the "Company"), today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter of 2026 ended December 31, 2025.
Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial Summary
Revenue was $74.6 million, exceeding the preliminary revenue results of $72.7 million and the original guidance range of $67 million, plus or minus $2.0 million
Higher than expected revenue was primarily driven by strong shipments into quarter-end, and to a lesser extent, conservative assumptions related to deferred revenue contracts
GAAP operating expenses were $30.1 million; non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses were $26.9 million, reflecting a year-over-year reduction of over $1 million
GAAP net loss was $27.8 million, or ($2.03) per share
Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $4.9 million, or ($0.36) per share
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $2.9 million
“Third quarter revenue and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA exceeded the high end of our forecasted range, reflecting the increasing benefits we are seeing from our revitalized sales organization and restructuring initiatives,” commented Hugues Meyrath, CEO of Quantum. “Also contributing to our solid results was the significant reduction in our operating costs and increased operational efficiencies realized over the past year. As part of our go-to-market strategy, we have been working closely with customers and strategic partners to address the growing market demand for AI-ready infrastructure leveraging Quantum’s integrated platform solutions spanning the full data lifecycle. These efforts have resulted in meaningful increases in both our pipeline and backlog over the past two quarters.
“Lastly, following our recently completed exchange of term debt for convertible notes, we have significantly improved our balance sheet and also continue to evaluate viable options for the Company’s remaining term debt toward our goal of further strengthening our balance sheet. Our demonstrated progress to-date is only the beginning of what we aim to achieve over the coming quarters as we further sharpen our execution and performance across the organization.”
Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 vs. Prior Fiscal Quarter
Revenue for the fiscal third quarter of 2026 was $74.6 million, compared to $62.7 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2026.

Total GAAP operating expenses in the fiscal third quarter of 2026 were $30.1 million, or 40.4% of revenue, compared to $31.7 million, or 50.6% of revenue, in the fiscal second quarter of 2026. Total operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis for the fiscal third quarter of 2026 were $26.9 million, or 36.1% of revenue, compared to $24.8 million, or 39.5% of revenue, in the fiscal second quarter of 2026.
GAAP net loss in the fiscal third quarter of 2026 was $27.8 million, or ($2.03) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $46.5 million, or ($3.49) per share, in the prior fiscal quarter. Excluding stock compensation, a non-cash loss related to debt extinguishment, restructuring charges and other non-recurring costs, non-GAAP adjusted net loss in the fiscal third quarter of 2026 was $4.9 million, or ($0.36) per share, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $7.1 million, or ($0.54) per share, in the fiscal second quarter of 2026.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal third quarter of 2026 was positive $2.9 million, compared to a positive $0.5 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2026.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP adjusted net loss.
Non-GAAP gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as non-GAAP gross profit divided by GAAP revenue, where non-GAAP gross profit excludes stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and non-recurring costs recorded in cost of revenue.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net loss before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, loss on debt extinguishment, non-recurring project costs, including restatement and debt-related matters, and fair value of warrants adjustments.
Non-GAAP adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net loss before restructuring charges, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, loss on debt extinguishment, non-recurring project costs, including restatement and debt-related matters, non-recurring interest expense, and fair value of warrants adjustments. We calculate non-GAAP adjusted net loss per basic and diluted share using the above-referenced definition of non-GAAP adjusted net loss.
We have provided below reconciliations of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net loss to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have presented non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operating plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business performance. For example, in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we excluded the costs associated with the restatement of financial statements for fiscal year 2022, fiscal year 2023 and associated quarters, and the first fiscal quarter of 2024. We do not believe it is indicative of our ongoing operations; accordingly, we have excluded the impact from our non-GAAP results. We believe non-GAAP adjusted net loss and non-GAAP adjusted net loss per basic and diluted share serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business and help our investors better compare our operating performance over multiple periods. Accordingly, we believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and our board of directors.
Our use of non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) interest and tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; (2) capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (3) changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (4) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense; (5) potential future costs related to our long-term debt; (6) potential future restructuring expenses; (7) potential future costs related to business acquisitions; (8) gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, (9) and acquisition-related amortization of intangibles assets from business combinations, or (10) fair market adjustments related to the Company’s warrants.
Non-GAAP adjusted net loss does not reflect: (1) potential future restructuring activities; (2) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense; (3) potential future costs related to our long-term debt; (4) potential future costs related to business acquisitions; (5) gain (loss) on debt extinguishment; (6) acquisition-related amortization of intangibles assets from business combinations; or (7) fair market adjustments related to the Company’s warrants.
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net loss along with other U.S. GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics and our U.S. GAAP financial results.
In addition, this press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, non-GAAP adjusted basic net loss per share, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, each a non-GAAP measure used to describe our expected performance. We have not presented a reconciliation of these anticipated non-GAAP measures to our most comparable GAAP financial measures, because the reconciliation could not be prepared without unreasonable effort. The information necessary to prepare the reconciliations is not available on a forward-looking basis and cannot be accurately predicted. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the calculation of the comparable GAAP financial measure.
The tables below reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net loss and diluted EPS with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands, unaudited).
