NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Business

INNOVATE Corp. ("INNOVATE" and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "we" and "our") is a diversified holding company that has a portfolio of subsidiaries in a variety of operating segments. The Company seeks to grow these businesses so that they can generate long-term sustainable free cash flow and attractive returns in order to maximize value for all stakeholders. While the Company generally intends to acquire controlling equity interests in its operating subsidiaries, the Company may invest to a limited extent in a variety of non-controlling equity interest positions or debt instruments. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "VATE".

The Company currently has three reportable segments, plus the Company's Other segment, based on management’s organization of the enterprise: Infrastructure, Life Sciences, Spectrum, and Other which includes businesses that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

1.The Company's Infrastructure segment is comprised of DBM Global Inc. ("DBMG") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. DBMG is a fully integrated industrial construction, structural steel and facility maintenance provider that provides fabrication and erection of structural steel and heavy steel plate services and also fabricates trusses and girders and specializes in the fabrication and erection of large-diameter water pipe and water storage tanks, as well as 3-D Building Information Modeling (“BIM”) and detailing. DBMG provides these services on commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction projects such as high- and low-rise buildings and office complexes, hotels and casinos, convention centers, sports arenas and stadiums, shopping malls, hospitals, dams, bridges, mines, metal processing, refineries, pulp and paper mills and power plants. Through GrayWolf Industrial Inc. ("GrayWolf"), DBMG provides integrated solutions for digital engineering, modeling and detailing, construction, heavy equipment installation and facility services including maintenance, repair, and installation to a diverse range of end markets. Through Aitken Manufacturing, Inc., DBMG manufactures pollution control scrubbers, tunnel liners, pressure vessels, strainers, filters, separators and a variety of customized products. Through Banker Steel, a division of Schuff Steel Company, DBMG provides full-service fabricated structural steel and erection services primarily for the U.S. East Coast and Southeast commercial and industrial construction markets, in addition to full design-assist services. The Company maintains a 91.2% controlling interest in DBMG.

2.The Company's Life Sciences segment is comprised of Pansend Life Sciences, LLC ("Pansend"), its subsidiaries and its equity investments. Pansend maintains a controlling interest of 80.0% in Genovel Orthopedics, Inc. ("Genovel"), which seeks to develop products to treat early osteoarthritis of the knee, and also has a controlling interest of 81.0% (81.4% as of December 31, 2024) in R2 Technologies, Inc. ("R2 Technologies"), which develops aesthetic and medical technologies for the skin. Pansend also invests in other early stage or developmental stage healthcare companies and, as of June 30, 2025, had a 44.7% interest (45.9% as of December 31, 2024) in MediBeacon Inc. ("MediBeacon"), a medical technology company specializing in the advances of fluorescent tracer agents and transdermal measurement, potentially enabling real-time, direct monitoring of kidney function, and maintained a 1.6% fully diluted interest in Triple Ring Technologies, Inc. ("Triple Ring"), a science and technology co-development company, and a 20.1% interest in Scaled Cell Solutions, Inc. ("Scaled Cell"), an immunotherapy company developing a novel autologous cell therapy system to potentially improve current CAR-T treatments.

3.The Company's Spectrum segment is comprised of HC2 Broadcasting Holdings Inc. ("Broadcasting") and its subsidiaries. Broadcasting strategically acquires and operates over-the-air broadcasting stations across the United States. The Company maintains a 98.0% controlling interest in Broadcasting and maintains a controlling interest of approximately 69.2%, inclusive of 2.8% proxy rights from minority holders of DTV America Corporation ("DTV").

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

INNOVATE CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

These interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent periods or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Certain prior amounts have been reclassified or combined to conform to the current year presentation.

Where applicable, information presented within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock that occurred in August 2024 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Refer to Note 15. Equity and Temporary Equity for additional information.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, as of the date of these financial statements, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The principal conditions leading to this conclusion are the upcoming maturity of R2 Technologies' debt and from certain cross-default provisions in the Company's Senior Secured Notes. Based on these conditions, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations at maturity and comply with certain cross-default provisions under the Senior Secured Notes over the next twelve months.

Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to the Company's ability to meet its obligations. The potential inability to refinance or extend the maturity of the aforementioned current debt, or to obtain additional financing, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company plans to alleviate these conditions through various initiatives it is currently exploring, including pursuing asset sales and refinancing the debt at Corporate and certain of its subsidiaries, and raising additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to raise additional capital when needed, be successful in any asset sales, or refinance its existing debt, on attractive terms, or at all nor any assurances that lenders will provide additional extensions, waivers or amendments in the event of future non-compliance with the Company’s debt covenants or other possible events of default. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to execute a reduction, extension, or refinancing of the debt, or that the terms of any replacement financing would be as favorable as the terms of the debt prior to the maturity date. There can be no assurance that these plans will be successfully implemented or that they will mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events for additional information.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, or expenses that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and various disclosures within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Pending Adoption

On July 30, 2025, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2025-05 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). The amendments in ASU 2025-05 provide entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The practical expedient allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of an asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of the estimation of expected credit losses. ASU 2025-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On May 14, 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-04 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer ("ASU 2025-04"). The amendments in ASU 2025-04 revise the definition of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer. ASU 2025-04 is effective on either a modified retrospective or retrospective basis (companies may choose between either method) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On May 12, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a VIE ("ASU 2025-03"). The amendments in ASU 2025-03 require an entity involved in an acquisition transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business to consider certain factors to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. ASU 2025-03 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on future transactions and the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On January 1, 2025, ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), became effective and requires, among other things, greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and for paid income taxes to be disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 affects financial statement disclosure only, which is not required until year end 2025 and, as a result, does not affect our results of operations or financial condition.

On November 26, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments ("ASU 2024-04"). The amendments in this update affect entities that settle convertible debt instruments for which the conversion privileges were changed to induce conversion. The amendments clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities may apply the amendments retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements or prospectively. The Company expects that it will apply the new guidance prospectively and is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on future transactions and the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). The amendments in this ASU require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including the total amount of selling expenses incurred in the period and an entity's definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03, with effective dates as clarified by ASU 2025-01 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU, which will only have an effect on the disclosures within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subsequent Events

ASC 855, Subsequent Events requires the Company to evaluate events that occur after the balance sheet date as of which the financial statements are issued, and to determine whether adjustments to or additional disclosures in the financial statements are necessary. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events.

The change in contract assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, is a result of the recording of $42.2 million and $45.0 million, respectively, of contract assets driven by new commercial projects, partially offset by $65.5 million and $62.4 million, respectively, of contract assets transferred to receivables from contract assets recognized at the beginning of the year, including from certain large projects completed or nearing completion and the corresponding billing of amounts previously recorded as contract assets.

The change in contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, is a result of the recording of periodic contract liabilities of $154.1 million and $57.4 million, respectively, driven largely by new commercial projects, partially offset by revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year in the amount of $90.4 million and $138.1 million, respectively, including from certain large projects completed or nearing completion.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2025, the transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied performance obligations consisted of the following (in millions):

	Within One Year		Within Five Years		Total

Convention	0.4		—		0.4
Energy	1.9		—		1.9
Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations	$	1,065.3	$	176.9	$	1,242.2

DBMG's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations increase with awards of new contracts and decrease as it performs work and recognizes revenue on existing contracts. DBMG includes a project within its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations at such time the project is awarded and agreement on contract terms has been reached. DBMG's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include amounts related to contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned when a reasonable estimate of total transaction price can be made. DBMG expects to recognize this revenue approximately within the next 2.0 years.

Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts. Although many of DBMG's contracts are subject to cancellation at the election of its customers, in accordance with industry practice, DBMG does not limit the amount of unrecognized revenue included within its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations due to the inherent substantial economic penalty that would be incurred by its customers upon cancellation.

Life Sciences Segment

On January 17, 2025, MediBeacon received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its Transdermal GFR Measurement System ("TGFR"). Pursuant to the terms of MediBeacon's convertible notes, upon the FDA approval, Pansend's convertible notes of $11.4 million and the related accrued interest of $1.5 million, together totaling $12.9 million, were converted into Series 3 Preferred Stock. In addition, pursuant to its amended commercial partnership with Huadong and, as a result of FDA approval, a $7.5 million milestone payment from Huadong Medicine Co. Ltd ("Huadong"), a publicly traded company on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, to MediBeacon for MediBeacon preferred stock was received in the first quarter of 2025. As a result of these transactions, Pansend's ownership in MediBeacon decreased from 45.9% prior to the transactions to 44.7% subsequent to the transactions. On a fully diluted basis, Pansend's ownership in MediBeacon decreased from 40.1% to 39.7%. As a result of these transactions, Pansend recognized a step-up gain of $4.4 million which is reflected in in Other (expense) income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased Pansend's carrying amount of its investment in MediBeacon. Concurrently, Pansend recognized equity method losses of $5.9 million, driven by the $4.4 million step-up gain and $1.5 million of interest from the conversion of the convertible notes, which were previously unrecognized because Pansend's carrying amount of its investment in MediBeacon had been previously reduced to zero.

MediBeacon's total outstanding principal amount of notes due to Pansend was $0.5 million and $12.0 million, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

On May 1, 2024, a subsidiary of DBMG amended the termination date of three property leases that had an original expiry date of March 31, 2031. In exchange, and as an inducement for DBMG to early terminate, the landlord agreed to pay DBMG $12.0 million in surrender fees in three equal installments, contingent on timely vacate and inspection milestones, of which DBMG received $4.0 million in surrender fees in 2024 and $4.0 million in surrender fees in 2025, with the remaining $4.0 million payment due to DBMG due within five business days of the vacate date in 2027 for the remaining property lease. After final surrender of the properties, DBMG will have no further obligations under these leases. The Company accounted for this transaction as a lease modification and recognized a $7.7 million gain on lease modification, which is included in Other operating loss (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Infrastructure

On May 20, 2025, DBMG entered into an Amended and Restated Credit agreement (the "DBMG Credit Agreement"), with the lenders which are party thereto from time to time (each a “Lender” and collectively the “Lenders”) and UMB BANK, N.A. ("UMB"). The DBMG Credit Agreement provides DBMG with senior secured debt financing in an amount up to $220.0 million in the aggregate, consisting of (i) a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “DBMG Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $135.0 million and (ii) a senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $85.0 million. The DBMG Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature to increase the allowable size of the DBMG Revolving Facility by an additional $50.0 million. The DBMG Credit Facility will mature on May 20, 2030. DBMG entered into the DBMG Revolving Facility to fully repay DBMG’s existing debt obligations and provide additional working capital capacity.

On May 20, 2025, concurrently with DBMG’s entry into the new DBMG Credit Agreement, DBMG terminated its prior Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2021 and as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated August 2, 2022, the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated December 12, 2023, and the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated June 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Prior DBMG Credit Agreement”). DBMG used a portion of the proceeds of the new DBMG Credit Agreement to refinance the indebtedness under the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement, and thereafter terminated the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement. The maturity dates of the revolving line and term loans under the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement were August 15, 2025, and May 31, 2026, respectively.

Borrowings under the new DBMG Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a SOFR Rate plus a variable spread based on a Senior Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio as defined in the agreement with an interest rate floor of 4.25% per annum.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the new Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of DBMG. As security for the Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement, (i) DBMG and its domestic subsidiaries have granted a first priority lien on substantially all their tangible and intangible personal property, including, without limitation, accounts receivable, equipment and the equity interests of certain of DBMG’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, and (ii) certain of the domestic subsidiaries of DBMG have granted a first priority lien on ten parcels of real estate owned by such subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary restrictive and financial covenants related to debt levels and performance, including a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio; and a Senior Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio, both as defined in the DBM Credit Agreement.

Due to multiple lenders being party to the new DBMG Credit Agreement, the May 20, 2025 transactions were determined to be either an extinguishment or modification under ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments ("ASC 470-50") or the incurrence of new debt, depending on the specific lender. For the portions of the debt classified as extinguishments, losses on extinguishment totaling $0.3 million, were included within Other (expense) income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. For the debt portions classified as modifications or new debt, new incremental deferred financing fees totaling $1.7 million were capitalized as original issue discounts and included in the carrying amount of the debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and $0.1 million in fees paid to third parties were expensed. Capitalized fees are amortized over the remaining life of the debt under the effective interest rate method and are included in interest expense.

DBMG had availability for revolving loans of $104.9 million and $89.9 million, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Interest is paid monthly on DBMG's revolving loans, and the effective interest rate on DBMG's revolving loans was 7.60% and 6.98%, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The new DBMG Revolving Facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum times the average daily unused availability under the line, whereas under the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement, the commitment fee was equal to 0.25% per annum times the average daily unused availability under the line.

Principal payments and interest on DBMG's term loans are paid monthly, and the effective interest rate was 8.16% as of June 30, 2025. Prior to the new DBMG Credit Agreement, DBMG had two term loans under the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the $74.6 million term loan bore interest at an annual rate of 3.25% with an effective interest rate of 3.3%. As of December 31, 2024, the $24.5 million term loan bore interest at PRIME minus 0.75%, at the same rate as the prior revolving loans.

DBMG is in compliance with its debt covenants as of June 30, 2025.

Spectrum

As of June 30, 2025, the maturity date of Spectrum's 8.50% and 11.45% Notes was August 15, 2025, as amended in November 2023. As a result of amendments to extend the maturity date during the year ended December 31, 2023, additional exit fees of $8.3 million were incurred. The exit fees associated with the notes, which are payable on the earlier of maturity or repayment of the principal, were recorded as original issue discount and are being amortized over the remaining life of the notes, which is assumed to be the maturity date. A corresponding liability for the total exit fees of $15.9 million is reflected within Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Interest is capitalized and payable upon maturity of the notes, of which there was $24.2 million and $20.5 million of accrued but unpaid interest as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted-average effective interest rate on the notes, as amended, was 22.9% and 22.8% per annum, respectively.

During November 2023, concurrently with Broadcasting's execution of the Ninth Amendment to Secured Notes, which among other things extended the maturity of the notes, INNOVATE entered into a related side letter with the lenders, whereby INNOVATE agreed to utilize proceeds from a sale of certain of its existing operations, as allowable under the Company's current agreements and indentures and after all other required payments have been made, for repayment of a portion of Broadcasting's Senior Secured Notes. Assuming there are sufficient proceeds remaining after such repayment, an additional $2.0 million fee is payable for payments made after November 9, 2024, and in exchange for the additional $2.0 million fee, the institutional investors will return their equity interests in HC2 Broadcasting Holdings, Inc. and their equity interests in DTV. The lenders hold warrants to purchase 145,825 shares of common stock of HC2 Broadcasting Holdings, Inc., which can be exercised at any time until August 2027 at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

Life Sciences

Effective January 31, 2024, a 20% note was entered into with Lancer Capital, which replaced the prior 20% note. The new note had an aggregate original principal amount of $20.0 million, which was comprised of all prior outstanding principal amounts of $17.4 million and unpaid accrued interest of $2.6 million which was capitalized into the new principal balance. The 20% $20.0 million note also included an exit fee, which would be 10.5% of the principal amount being repaid as of April 30, 2024. As a result of the addition of the exit fee effective January 31, 2024, the transaction was determined to be an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments ("ASC 470-50"), and the $2.2 million exit fee payable to the existing lender was included as a loss on debt extinguishment within Other (expense) income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The original maturity date of the 20% $20.0 million note was April 30, 2024, or within five business days of the date on which R2 Technologies receives an aggregate $20.0 million from the consummation of a debt or equity financing or has a change in control, as defined in the agreement, with an optional prepayment of the entire then-outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest upon five-days written notice to Lancer Capital. Effective May 17, 2024, the maturity date of the note was extended to December 31, 2024, and the exit fees were amended. The May 17, 2024, amendment was determined to be a modification of debt under ASC 470-50, as the terms of the debt were not determined to be substantially different, including taking into consideration the ability to prepay the debt at anytime, and, therefore, the additional exit fees were amortized using the effective interest method.

During the first quarter of 2025, with an effective date of December 31, 2024, the maturity date of the note was extended to August 1, 2025, and another additional exit fee of $1.0 million was incurred under the amendment, which continues to increase by $1.0 million each month until maturity. The base exit fee, as amended, and as of June 30, 2025, was equal to 12.92% of the principal amount being repaid and continues to increase by 0.17% each month until maturity. The total new exit fees associated with the notes have been recorded as an original issue discount of $8.7 million and are being amortized over the remaining life of the note, which is assumed to be the maturity date. A corresponding liability for the new exit fees of $8.7 million was recorded for total accrued exit fees of $16.5 million which are included within Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025. The exit fees are payable on the earliest of the maturity date, the date of the acceleration of the principal amount of the note for any reason or, if any portion of the note is prepaid at any time, the date of such prepayment of the note. In addition, under the recent amendment, a new $5.0 million default fee will be payable on August 1, 2025, in the event all obligations under the note, including principal, any accrued and unpaid interest, and exit fees, are not repaid in full prior to the August 1, 2025, maturity date. The $5.0 million default fee will only be recognized in the event of a default on August 1, 2025. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the note was further amended. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events for additional information.

The amendment during the first quarter of 2025, which was effective as of December 31, 2024, was determined to be a modification of debt under ASC 470-50, as the terms of the debt were not determined to be substantially different, including taking into consideration the ability to prepay the debt at anytime, and, therefore, the additional exit fees are being amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest rate method and are included in interest expense.

Subsequent to quarter end, on August 4, 2025, the Company closed a series of indebtedness refinancing transactions that will extend certain of the Company’s debt maturities. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events for additional information.

8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2026

The Company has $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.50% senior secured notes due February 1, 2026 (the "8.50% 2026 Senior Secured Notes"), which were issued in 2021 at 100% of par. The 2026 Senior Secured Notes have a stated annual interest rate of 8.50% and have an effective interest rate of 9.3%, which reflects the initial $10.8 million of deferred financing fees, including underwriting fees. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1st and August 1st of each year. Aggregate interest expense, including the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the deferred financing fees was $7.7 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was $15.3 million and $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were $1.6 million and $2.8 million of unamortized deferred financing fees as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

2026 Convertible Notes

The original $51.8 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% convertible notes (the "2026 Convertible Notes") were issued under a separate indenture dated February 1, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank, as trustee (the "Convertible Indenture"). The 2026 Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or purchased. The 2026 Convertible Notes were issued at 100% of par with a stated annual interest rate of 7.50%. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature contained in the 2026 Convertible Notes had a fair value of $12.3 million, which was recorded as a premium on the 2026 Convertible Notes. The 2026 Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 3.21%, which reflects the initial $12.3 million premium and $1.1 million of deferred financing fees.

During July 2024, INNOVATE repurchased $2.9 million principal amount of its 2026 Convertible Notes at a market discount for $1.1 million, which was inclusive of accrued interest of $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2025, the 2026 Convertible Notes had a net carrying value of $51.2 million inclusive of the remaining unamortized premium of $2.6 million and unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the 2026 Convertible Notes had a net carrying value of $52.3 million, inclusive of an unamortized premium of $3.8 million and unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.4 million.

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1st and August 1st of each year. Aggregate interest expense recognized relating to both the contractual interest coupon and amortization of discount net of premium and deferred financing costs was $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Each $1,000 of principal of the 2026 Convertible Notes is convertible into 23.6327 shares of our common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $42.31 per share, both as adjusted for the 2024 Reverse Stock Split and subject to further adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. Based on the closing price of our common stock of $5.15 on June 30, 2025, the if-converted value of the 2026 Convertible Notes did not exceed its principal value.

Revolving Line of Credit

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with MSD PCOF Partners IX, LLC ("MSD"), which has a maximum commitment of $20.0 million ("Revolving Line of Credit"). As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance was $20.0 million. The maturity date of the Revolving Line of Credit was amended on March 6, 2025, from May 16, 2025, to August 1, 2025. The Revolving Line of Credit has an interest rate margin applicable to loans borrowed under the Revolving Line of Credit of 5.75%, and the benchmark rates for the interest are SOFR-based rates. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the effective interest rate on the Revolving Line of Credit, as amended, was 10.3% and 10.6%, respectively. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears. The Revolving Line of Credit also includes a commitment fee at a per annum rate of 1.0% calculated based off the actual daily amount of unused availability under the Revolving Line of Credit with MSD, and also includes a requirement for a prepayment if net cash proceeds from certain asset sales in excess of $10.0 million are received. The affirmative and negative covenants governing the Revolving Line of Credit are substantially consistent with the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the indenture that governs the 2026 Senior Secured Notes.

CGIC Unsecured Note

The Company has a subordinated unsecured promissory note with Continental General Insurance Company ("CGIC") in the original principal amount of $35.1 million (the "CGIC Unsecured Note"). The CGIC Note, which is due February 28, 2026, bore interest at 9.0% per annum through May 8, 2024, 16.0% per annum from May 9, 2024, to May 8, 2025, and bears interest at 32.0% per annum thereafter. As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the effective interest rate on the note, as adjusted, was 17.5%. The CGIC Unsecured Note also requires a mandatory prepayment from the proceeds from certain asset sales and the greater of $3.0 million or 12.5% of the net proceeds from certain equity sales. As a result of the closing of the rights offering and concurrent private placement in 2024 (refer to Note 15. Equity and Temporary Equity), INNOVATE redeemed $4.1 million of the CGIC Unsecured Note on April 26, 2024. Other covenants in the CGIC Unsecured Note are generally consistent with the Company's Indenture governing the 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2026, dated as of February 1, 2021, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, interest expense recognized relating to the CGIC Unsecured Note was $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and cash paid for interest to CGIC was $2.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, interest expense recognized relating to the CGIC Unsecured Note was $2.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and cash paid for interest to CGIC was $3.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Accrued interest related to the CGIC notes was $3.0 million and $3.4 million as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Covenants

INNOVATE is in compliance with its debt covenants as of June 30, 2025, other than with respect to the minimum liquidity covenant under the Secured Indenture, which requires the Company to meet certain minimum liquidity thresholds. However, the Company subsequently cured that non-compliance pursuant to the provisions of the indenture as a result of a liquidation of approximately $2.9 million in marketable securities subsequent to quarter end, and, accordingly, after giving effect to such cure the Company is in compliance with all its covenants under the Secured Indenture.

12. Income Taxes

The Company uses the Annual Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") approach of ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting, to calculate its interim tax

provision.

Income tax expense was $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and income tax benefit was $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Income tax expense was $11.3 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income tax expense/benefit primarily relates to tax expense as calculated for taxpaying entities, including the tax expense/benefit associated with the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated group due to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act's 80 percent limitation on net operating losses incurred after 2017. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as management does not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. The Company is evaluating the full effects of the legislation on its estimated annual effective tax rate and cash tax position; however, the Company expects that the legislation will likely not have an overall material impact on its consolidated financial statements. As the legislation was signed into law after the end of the second quarter, the impacts are not included within the Company's operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net Operating Losses

At December 31, 2024, the Company had gross U.S. net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of the U.S. consolidated group in the amount of $174.3 million. The Company expects that approximately $117.7 million of the gross U.S. NOL carryforwards would be available to offset taxable income in 2025 and later periods. This estimate may change based on changes to actual results reported on the 2024 U.S. tax return. The amount of U.S. NOL carryforwards reflected in the financial statements differ from the amounts reported on the U.S. tax return due to uncertain tax positions related to tax laws and regulations that are subject to varied interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had $149.4 million of gross U.S. NOL carryforwards from its subsidiaries that do not qualify to be included in the INNOVATE U.S. consolidated income tax return, including $102.8 million from R2, $44.1 million from DTV, and other entities of $2.5 million. Of the $149.4 million of gross U.S. NOL carryforwards, $113.3 million was generated after 2017 and will have an indefinite carryforward period; the remaining $36.1 million was generated prior to 2018 and will expire, if unused, by 2037.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740 which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as regulatory taxes.

The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, related to uncertain tax positions that would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. The Company has reduced the NOL carryforward by $58.7 million for uncertain tax positions based on our interpretation of tax laws and regulations that are subject to varied interpretations by the IRS.

Examinations

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, INNOVATE or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Tax years 2002-2023 remain open for examination.

The Company is currently under examination in various domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits, there is a risk that disputes may arise.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Such legal matters may include, but is not limited to, actions or claims relating to sensitive data, including proprietary business information and intellectual property, personally identifiable information of employees and contractors, cyber-attacks, data breaches and non-compliance with contractual or other legal obligations. Litigation and other legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and adverse resolutions could occur. In addition, litigation and other legal matters, including class-action lawsuits, government investigations and regulatory proceedings can be costly to defend and, depending on the class size and claims, could be costly to settle. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated as well as any legal costs incurred related to the litigation. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Any legal or other expenses associated with the litigation are accrued for as the expenses are incurred. The Company maintains liability insurance that insures it against workers’ compensation, personal and bodily injury, property damage, directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions, cyber liability, employment practices liability. There can be no assurance that the liability insurance will cover all events or that the limits of coverage will be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities.

Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances with counsel in each of the matters disclosed, management has provided for what is believed to be a reasonable estimate of loss exposure. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate outcome of litigation will not have a material effect on its financial position and will defend itself vigorously.

Marin General Hospital Replacement Litigation

On October 20, 2022, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. (“McCarthy”) filed suit against Schuff Steel Company (“Schuff”), a subsidiary of DBMG, and Quality Assurance Engineering, Inc. dba Consolidated Engineering Laboratories (“CEL”) in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Marin, styled McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. v. Schuff Steel Company; Quality Engineering, Inc. dba Consolidated Engineering Laboratories, et al., Case No. CIV2203963 (the “Action”). In the Action, McCarthy alleges damages and delays caused by alleged failures in fabrication, erection, welding, and quality control by Schuff and improper quality assurance responsibilities by CEL on the Marin General Hospital Replacement Building (the “Project”). McCarthy asserts claims against Schuff for breach of contract, express indemnity, breach of express warranties, negligence, equitable implied indemnity, breach of implied warranties, and declaratory relief. On February 13, 2023, Schuff filed its response denying liability to McCarthy and asserting a Cross-Complaint against McCarthy, and other companies involved in the design, construction, and quality assurance, who potentially are liable for damages and delays alleged by McCarthy on the Project. In the Cross-Complaint, Schuff asserts claims for breach of contract, violation of statute, equitable indemnity apportionment, and contribution and express indemnity (the “Cross-Complaint”). Schuff intends to vigorously defend this Action and aggressively pursue the Cross-Complaint and cannot reasonably estimate any range of potential loss at this time.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

As of June 30, 2025, DBMG had outstanding letters of credit of $0.1 million under credit and security agreements and performance bonds of $406.1 million. As of December 31, 2024, DBMG had outstanding letters of credit of $0.1 million under credit and security agreements and performance bonds of $183.9 million. DBMG’s contract arrangements with customers sometimes require DBMG to provide performance bonds to partially secure its obligations under its contracts. Bonding requirements typically arise in connection with private contracts and sometimes with respect to certain public work projects. DBMG’s performance bonds are obtained through surety companies and typically cover the entire project price. The ratings of the bonding companies utilized by DBMG are highly rated, ranging from A-, A, A+ and AA.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company's revenue concentrations of 10% and greater were as follows:

		Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,

14. Share-based Compensation

Total share-based compensation expense recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries under all equity compensation arrangements was $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was $1.5 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is reflected as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

All grants are time based and vest either immediately or over a period established at grant, typically with a requisite service period of one to three years for a member of the Board of Directors or an employee to vest in the share-based award, subject to discretion by Compensation Committee. There are no other substantive conditions for vesting. The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity awards, reduced by actual forfeitures as they are incurred, using the straight-line basis.

2024 Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On March 8, 2024, the Company commenced a rights offering ("Rights Offering"), in which each holder of the Company’s common stock, Series A-3 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and the 2026 Convertible Notes as of March 6, 2024 (the “rights offering record date”), were granted rights to purchase common stock. In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Lancer Capital (the "Investment Agreement"), pursuant to which Lancer Capital agreed to purchase up to $19.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock as a backstop to the Rights Offering (the "Backstop Commitment") and to purchase $16.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock in a private placement transaction ("Concurrent Private Placement"). Lancer Capital is an investment fund led by Avram A. Glazer, the Chairman of the Board and the Company’s largest stockholder. As the Rights Offering had not yet settled by March 28, 2024, in accordance with the Investment Agreement, Lancer Capital purchased $25.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock, referred to as the "equity advance." On April 24, 2024, the Company completed and closed on the Rights Offering and issued a total of 530,611 shares of common stock (5,306,105 shares of common stock on a pre Reverse Stock Split (see below) basis) for $3.7 million.

Reverse Stock Split

On August 8, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) following stockholder approval. The Reverse Stock Split was implemented for the primary purpose of regaining compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the $0.001 par value per share of the common stock. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of outstanding common shares was reduced from 130,529,931 to 13,166,057, inclusive of an additional 113,064 incremental whole shares issued for fractional shares. Unless noted, all share and per share amounts of common stock, options and restricted stock and any associated debt or preferred stock conversion rates contained in the historical periods, prior to the date of the Reverse Stock Split, presented within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Series A-3 shares issued and outstanding	6,125	6,125
Series A-4 shares issued and outstanding	10,000	10,000

Series A-3 and Series A-4 Shares

On August 4, 2025, INNOVATE closed a transaction that resulted in the exchange of a portion of the preferred stock described below. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events for additional information.

Issuance and Conversion. On July 1, 2021, (the "Exchange Date") as a part of the sale of Continental Insurance Group ("CIG"), INNOVATE entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with CGIC, also a former subsidiary, which held the remaining shares of the Company's previous Series A and Series A-2 Preferred Stock and was eliminated in consolidation prior to the sale of the Company's former Insurance segment on July 1, 2021. Per the Exchange Agreement, INNOVATE exchanged 6,125 shares of the Series A and 10,000 shares of the Series A-2 shares that CGIC held for an equivalent number of Series A-3 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A-3") and Series A-4 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A-4"), respectively. The terms remained substantially the same, except that the Series A-3 and Series A-4 mature on July 1, 2026.

Since the time of issuance of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on July 1, 2021, the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock have been classified as temporary equity in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a combined redemption value of $17.9 million and with a current fair value of $18.3 million as of June 30, 2025, which is inclusive of $0.4 million in accrued dividends.

Dividends. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock accrue a cumulative quarterly cash dividend at an annualized rate of 7.50%. The accrued values of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock accrete quarterly at an annualized rate of 4.00% that is reduced to 2.00% or 0.0% if the Company achieves specified rates of growth measured by increases in its net asset value; provided, that the accreting dividend rate will be 7.25% in the event that (A) the daily volume weighted-average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock is less than a certain threshold amount, (B) the Company's common stock is not registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (C) the Company's common stock is not listed on certain national securities exchanges or the Company is delinquent in the payment of any cash dividends. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock is also entitled to participate in cash and in-kind distributions to holders of shares of Company's common stock on an as-converted basis.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, INNOVATE's Board of Directors (the "Board") did not declare any cash dividends with respect to INNOVATE’s issued and outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock. As a result, quarterly dividends of $0.3 million (reflecting the applicable annual cash dividend rate of 7.5%) were accrued in respect to Series A-3 and Series A-4, taken together. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded accretion or accrual of additional dividends totaling $1.9 million, of which $1.3 million related to prior years. This included $1.8 million of cumulative accreting dividends, which were recorded following the determination that such dividends had accreted due to the daily VWAP of the Company's common stock trading at less than $1 at various dates since 2022, as adjusted for the reverse stock split in 2024. The adjustment during the three months ended June 30, 2025 resulted in:(i) an increase in the accrued value of the preferred stock of $1.8 million; (ii) a decrease in Additional Paid-In Capital (APIC) of $1.9 million; (iii) an increase in accrued liabilities of $0.1 million; and (iv) an increase in net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.9 million, leading to an increase in loss per share of $0.14 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company has evaluated the effects of this adjustment, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and does not believe the adjustment was material to any current or prior interim or annual periods that were affected.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Board declared cash dividends with respect to INNOVATE’s issued and outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock as presented in the following tables (in millions):

2025
Declaration Date and Holders of Record Date	March 31, 2025
Payment Date	April 15, 2025
Total Dividend	$	0.3

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, INNOVATE's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared cash dividends with respect to INNOVATE’s issued and outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock as presented in the following tables (in millions):

2024
Declaration Date and Holders of Record Date	March 31, 2024		June 30, 2024
Payment Date	April 15, 2024		July 15, 2024
Total Dividend	$	0.3	$	0.3

Subsequent Measurement. The Company elected to account for the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock by immediately recognizing changes in the redemption value as they occur. The carrying values of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock are adjusted to equal what the redemption amount would be as if the redemption were to occur at the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock. Any cash dividends paid directly reduce the carrying value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock until the carrying value equals the redemption value. Once the carrying value is equal to the redemption value, the dividends declared are accrued by debiting retained earnings, or if retained earnings is a deficit, then by debiting additional paid in capital. The Company has a history of paying dividends on its Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock and expects to continue to either pay, accrete or accrue such dividends each quarter.

Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 may be converted by the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at any time based on the then-applicable conversion price. As of June 30, 2025, each share of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock was convertible at an accrued value of $1,000 per share, divided by the conversion price of $23.63 (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the "Series A-3 Conversion Price"), and each share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock was convertible at an accrued value of $1,000 per share divided by the conversion price of $34.40 (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the "Series A-4 Conversion Price") (collectively the “Conversion Prices”). The Conversion Prices have historically been adjusted from time to time and continue to be subject to potential adjustment for dividends, certain distributions, reverse stock splits or stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers, recapitalizations and similar events, as well as in connection with issuances of equity or equity-linked or other comparable securities by the Company at a price per share (or with a conversion or exercise price or effective issue price) that is below the Conversion Prices’ (which adjustment shall be made on a weighted-average basis).

Redemption by the Holders / Automatic Conversion. On July 1, 2026, holders of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem the Series A-3 and Series A-4 at the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4). Each share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 that is not so redeemed will be automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock at the Conversion Price then in effect.

Upon a change of control (as defined in each Certificate of Designation) holders of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem their shares of Series A-3 and Series A-4 at a price per share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 equal to the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock), and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 were converted into shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the change of control.

Redemption by the Company / "Company Call Option". At any time, the Company may redeem the Series A-3 and Series A-4, in whole but not in part, at a price per share generally equal to 150% of the accrued value per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4), subject to the holder's right to convert prior to such redemption.

Forced Conversion. The Company may force conversion of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 into shares of the Company's common stock if the common stock's thirty-day VWAP exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price and the common stock’s daily VWAP exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for at least 20 trading days out of the thirty trading day period used to calculate the 30-day VWAP. In the event of a forced conversion, the holders of Series A-3 and Series A-4 will have the ability to elect cash settlement in lieu of conversion if certain market liquidity thresholds for the Company's common stock are not achieved.

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (any such event, a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series A-3 and Series A-4 will be entitled to receive per share the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4), and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Series A-4 and Series A-4 were converted into shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to such occurrence. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 will rank junior to any existing or future indebtedness but senior to the Company's common stock and any future equity securities other than any future senior or pari passu preferred stock issued in compliance with each Certificate of Designation. The Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock rank at parity.

Voting Rights. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of the shares of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company's common stock with the holders of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on certain matters, and separately as a class on certain limited matters.

Consent Rights. For so long as any of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 is outstanding, consent of the holders of shares representing at least 75% of certain of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 then outstanding is required for certain material actions.

Participation Rights. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements entered into with the initial purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, subject to meeting certain ownership thresholds, certain purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock are entitled to participate, on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their ownership percentage, determined on an as-converted basis, in issuances of equity and equity linked securities by the Company. In addition, subject to meeting certain ownership thresholds, certain initial purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock will be entitled to participate in issuances of preferred securities and in debt transactions of the Company.

As of June 30, 2025, the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock, including the accrued value of accreting dividends, were convertible into 288,539 and 323,558 shares, respectively, of INNOVATE's common stock. As of December 31, 2024, the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock were convertible into 259,212 and 290,672 shares, respectively, of INNOVATE's common stock.

R2 Technologies Non-Controlling Interests

The Company has non-redeemable and redeemable non-controlling interests related to R2 Technologies in the form of common stock as well as convertible preferred stock that is redeemable upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the respective agreements. If an event is not solely within the control of the Company, it is classified outside of permanent equity in the mezzanine section of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company adjusts the carrying value of the non-controlling interests based on an allocation of subsidiary earnings (losses) based on ownership interests. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, it was not deemed probable that the amounts relating to convertible preferred stock in non-controlling interests will become redeemable as no change in control has occurred or is expected to occur; therefore, no additional adjustments or remeasurements were required under ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

On February 20, 2025, Pansend closed on a new $3.5 million convertible 13.0% note instrument with R2 Technologies. The principal amount of the note, together with any interest then accrued and unpaid, is convertible at the option of Pansend into shares of a new Series E Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series E") in R2 Technologies upon written notice to R2 Technologies and has a maturity date of the earlier of July 31, 2025, or a change in control of R2 Technologies, as defined in the note. The transaction is eliminated on consolidation. On June 9, 2025, Pansend closed on a new $3.0 million convertible 13.0% note instrument with R2 Technologies, of which $0.6 million had been funded as of June 30, 2025. The principal amount of the note, together with any interest then accrued and unpaid, is convertible at the option of Pansend into shares of a new Series F Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series F") in R2 Technologies upon written notice to R2 Technologies and has a maturity date of the earlier of July 31, 2025, or a change in control of R2 Technologies, as defined in the note. The transaction is eliminated on consolidation. Subsequent to quarter end, in July 2025, an additional $0.8 million was funded. Subsequent to quarter end, the maturities of these intercompany notes were extended to the earlier of July 31, 2026, or a change in control of R2 Technologies, as defined in the notes.

As a result of the allocation of losses, the redeemable non-controlling interest related to R2 Technologies was negative $0.8 million and negative $0.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had negative $7.5 million and negative $4.9 million, respectively of R2 Technologies non-controlling interests reflected within Non-controlling interests within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Liquidation Preference

R2 Technologies has issued multiple A, B, C and D-series, and, in the future potentially E-series and F-series, participating convertible preferred stock (the "R2 Technologies Preferred Shares"), all of which contain a liquidation preference. In the event of a liquidation event, each Preferred Share has a liquidation preference to be paid out of the assets legally available for distribution, which entitles the holder of each series A, series C, series D, series E (upon conversion of the aforementioned $3.5 million note that is convertible into Series E) and series F (upon conversion of the aforementioned note that is convertible into Series F) R2 Technologies Preferred Shares to receive, before any payments to holders of junior securities, the sum of the following: (i) the accrued value in cash; (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends, including basic dividends and accreting dividends, if any, and (iii) an amount, in cash or otherwise, equivalent to what the holder would receive if they had converted the R2 Technologies Preferred Shares into R2 Technologies common stock or reference property just before the liquidation event. Series B R2 Technologies Preferred Shareholders would be entitled to receive, before any payments to holders of junior securities, the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the accrued value in cash, plus (B) all accrued and unpaid dividends, including basic dividends and accreting dividends, if any, or (ii) an amount, in cash or otherwise, equivalent to what the holder would receive if they had converted the R2 Technologies Preferred Shares into R2 Technologies common stock or reference property just before the liquidation event.

If the assets of R2 Technologies legally available for distribution are insufficient to pay these obligations in full, R2 Technologies Preferred Shareholders and holders of any parity securities share the remaining assets in proportion to the full respective amounts to which they are entitled. After receiving the full liquidation preference, R2 Technologies Preferred Shareholders have no further claim to R2 Technologies' assets, except for any new securities or instruments received as part of the liquidation preference. The value of non-cash assets distributed equals their fair market value on the distribution date. No holder of junior securities receives any payment unless the entire liquidation preference of R2 Technologies Preferred Shares is paid. If there is insufficient cash to pay the entire liquidation preference and any liquidation preference in respect of any parity securities in full in cash upon a liquidation event, R2 Technologies Preferred Shareholders and parity securities holders will share available cash proportionally.

R2 Technologies' total liquidation preference upon a hypothetical liquidation event, including the liquidation preference for Pansend Life Sciences, LLC, was $149.1 million and $143.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of which $53.9 million and $51.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, was attributable to redeemable and non-redeemable non-controlling interests, inclusive of initial preferred stock and unpaid accreted dividends. However, as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, R2 Technologies had negative net assets after consideration of intercompany and third party debt, as applicable, and, therefore, there would be no legally available funds to satisfy such liquidation preferences upon a hypothetical liquidation event.

17. Operating Segments and Related Information

The Company currently has one primary reportable geographic segment - United States, and primarily all revenue is derived in the United States, and primarily all PP&E and intangible assets reside in the United States. The reportable segments are identified based on the nature of the services and products provided, the organizational structure, and the internal reporting system used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company has three reportable operating segments, plus the Other segment, based on management’s organization of the enterprise - Infrastructure, Life Sciences, Spectrum, and Other. The Company also has a Non-Operating Corporate segment. All inter-segment transactions are eliminated on consolidation. There are no inter-segment revenues. Refer to Note 1. Organization and Business for additional information on the organizational structure of the business and Note 3. Revenue and Contracts in Process for additional information on revenue by segment.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for the Company is the Interim CEO, Paul Voigt. The CODM is primarily responsible for allocating resources at all levels that do not require board approval. The CODM monitors the performance of each segment and is responsible for making strategic decisions regarding capital and resource allocation. The CODM uses a combination of monthly reports, which detail revenue and income (loss) from operations, and quarterly summaries, which include detailed breakdowns of each segment's income (loss) from operations, to evaluate segment performance, allocate resources and make strategic decisions. These financial metrics are used to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and to monitor budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis. The primary U.S. GAAP metric used by the CODM in assessing segment performance is income (loss) from operations.

Financial information, including revenue and expenses, with respect to the Company’s operating segments, is as follows (in millions):

18. Basic and Diluted (Loss) Income Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated using the two-class method, which allocates earnings among common stock and participating securities to calculate EPS when an entity's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Unvested share-based payment awards, and, previously, the Series C Preferred Stock, that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities. As such, shares of any unvested restricted stock, and, previously, the Series C Preferred Stock, of the Company are considered participating securities; however, unvested shares of restricted stock do not participate in losses and, as such, are excluded from the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share during periods of net losses. The dilutive effect, if applicable, of stock options and their equivalents (including non-vested stock issued under share-based compensation plans), is computed using the "if-converted method" if this measurement is determined to be more dilutive than the treasury stock method in a period.

The Company had no dilutive common stock equivalents during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the results from continuing operations being a loss, net of tax. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, all stock options were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares used to calculate diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, 288,588 of common stock equivalents from unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares used to calculate diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 291,378 and 91,296, respectively, of common stock equivalents from unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares used to calculate diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Other instruments that may, in the future, if the average market price of the Company's stock exceeds the conversion prices, have a dilutive effect on EPS, but were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and the six months ended June 30, 2024, and may be excluded from computations of diluted EPS in the future, are: convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, and stock options.

Debt Obligations. The fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations was determined using reporting from externally quoted market prices for INNOVATE's 8.50% 2026 Senior Secured Notes and for INNOVATE's 7.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, which are reflected as Level 2 fair value measurements due to limited recently available observable trading activity for these instruments. All other long-term obligations of the Company are also reflected as Level 2 fair value measurements, as this methodology combines direct recent transaction activity or, if available, market observations from contributed sources with quantitative pricing models or fair value reports from valuation providers to generate evaluated prices and are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. Certain long-term obligations have a fair value estimate equal to their carrying value due to recent transaction activity. The fair value of the debt instruments is disclosed for informational purposes and does not necessarily represent the amount that would be realized upon settlement or transfer.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The Company's investments in marketable securities are measured at fair value, using publicly available quoted market prices, a Level 1 input. Refer to Note 6. Investments.

New Senior Secured Notes

On the Closing Date, the Company held an initial closing in respect of its previously announced exchange offer and consent solicitation (the “Exchange Offer”) to eligible holders of its 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Existing Senior Secured Notes”) to exchange such Existing Senior Secured Notes for newly issued 10.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “New Senior Secured Notes”). The Company, the guarantors party thereto from time to time and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “New Senior Secured Notes Trustee”) and collateral trustee, entered into an indenture (the “New Senior Secured Notes Indenture”) governing the New Senior Secured Notes and the Company issued approximately $360.3 million aggregate principal amount of New Senior Secured Notes as consideration for the exchange of approximately $328.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Senior Secured Notes (inclusive of $52.50 principal amount of New Senior Secured Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Senior Secured Notes exchanged, paid to exchanging holders in lieu of the interest payment in respect of the Existing Senior Secured Notes that was due on August 1, 2025). The Company intends to make the interest payment that was initially due on August 1, 2025, in respect of any Existing Senior Secured Notes that remain outstanding following the final settlement of the Exchange Offer on August 29, 2025. Following the initial settlement of the Exchange Offer, approximately $1.9 million aggregate principal amount of Existing Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding.

The expiration deadline for the Exchange Offer is midnight (end of day), New York City time, on August 13, 2025, unless extended by the Company. The Company currently expects that the final settlement of the Exchange Offer will occur on August 15, 2025, subject to all conditions to the Exchange Offer having been satisfied or waived by the Company.

The Company’s obligations under the New Senior Secured Notes Indenture are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the same guarantors that guarantee the Existing Senior Secured Notes (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The New Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees are senior secured obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The New Senior Secured Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Certain terms and conditions of the New Senior Secured Notes are as follows:

Maturity. The New Senior Secured Notes mature on February 1, 2027.

Interest. The New Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 10.50% per year, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2026. For the first interest period only, interest is paid in kind. All subsequent interest payments are payable in cash.

The New Senior Secured Notes and the note guarantees will rank: (i) equal in right of payment (subject to the priority of any First-Out Obligations (as defined in the New Senior Secured Notes Indenture) (including any debt under the Company’s existing $20.0 million secured revolving credit facility)) with all existing and future senior debt of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and effectively senior to all unsecured debt of the Company to the extent of the value of the collateral; (ii) senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future debt that expressly provides for its subordination to the New Senior Secured Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to any existing and future debt of the Company that is secured by liens on property and assets that do not constitute collateral, to the extent of the value of such property and assets; and (iv) structurally subordinated to any existing and future debt and other liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Collateral. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors (except for certain “Excluded Assets,” and subject to certain “Permitted Liens,” each as defined in the New Senior Secured Notes Indenture), including, without limitation:

•all equity interests owned by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor (which, in the case of any equity interest in a foreign subsidiary, will be limited to 65% of the voting stock of such foreign subsidiary if the pledge thereof would result in adverse tax consequences that are material to the value of the collateral);

•all equipment, goods, inventory and fixtures owned by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor;

•all accounts, cash, deposit accounts and investment securities owned by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor;

•all documents, books and records, instruments and chattel paper owned by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor;

•all intellectual property and other general intangibles owned by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor; and

•any proceeds and supporting obligations thereof.

No Sinking Fund. The Company is not required to make any sinking fund payments with respect to the New Senior Secured Notes.

Optional Redemption. The Company has the option to redeem some or all of the New Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.

Asset Sale Offer. If the Company completes certain assets sales, the Company may be required in certain circumstances to make an offer to purchase the New Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds from such an asset sale at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

Change of Control. If a Change of Control (as defined in the New Senior Secured Notes Indenture) occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the New Senior Secured Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such New Senior Secured Notes on the date of purchase, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Certain Covenants. The New Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Company, and, in certain cases, the Company’s subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. Additionally, the New Senior Secured Notes Indenture requires the Company to meet certain milestones with respect to strategic alternatives for our operating subsidiaries, including asset sales generating at least $150 million in net proceeds, such that by September 1, 2025 the Company has a bona fide bid or term sheet related to a potential sale, a fully executed purchase or equity agreement by November 1, 2025, and an executed transaction with applied proceeds to the New Senior Secured Notes Indenture no later than February 1, 2026. In the event this covenant is not reached, the Company will be required to commence a sales process for DBM Global. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

Events of Default. The New Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains customary events of default which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the New Senior Secured Notes to become immediately due and payable, including, but not limited to defaults by the Company in the payment of the principal of any the New Senior Secured Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or redemption, or otherwise (other than pursuant to an offer to purchase by the Company) or in the payment of interest on any note when the same becomes due and payable, and the default continues for a period of 30 days; failure to comply with certain other covenants in the New Senior Secured Notes Indenture for a period of 60 days following notice by the New Senior Secured Notes Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Secured Notes then outstanding; failure to pay or otherwise default on material debt; or failure to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating $20 million or more (excluding amounts covered by insurance), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

Existing Senior Secured Notes First Supplemental Indenture

Also on the Closing Date, the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Existing Senior Secured Notes Trustee”), entered into a first supplemental indenture (the “Existing Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture, dated as of February 1, 2021, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto from time to time and the Existing Senior Secured Notes Trustee, governing the Existing Senior Secured Notes (the “Existing Senior Secured Notes Indenture”). The Existing Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture amended the Existing Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Existing Senior Secured Notes to effectuate certain proposed amendments with respect to the Existing Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the previously announced solicitation of consents, which amendments included eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminating certain events of default, modifying covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modifying or eliminating certain other provisions contained in the Existing Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Existing Senior Secured Notes. In addition, the liens securing the Existing Senior Secured Notes were subordinated to the liens securing certain indebtedness, including the New Senior Secured Notes, New Convertible Notes referred to below and the 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement referred to below pursuant to the Existing Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture.

New Convertible Notes

Also on the Closing Date, the Company settled the exchanges (collectively, the “Convertible Notes Exchanges”) under its previously announced privately negotiated exchange agreements (collectively, the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of its 7.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Existing Convertible Notes”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company exchanged approximately $48.7 million of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Existing Convertible Notes for approximately $53.5 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 9.5% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “New Convertible Notes”) (inclusive of $47.50 principal amount of New Convertible Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes exchanged, paid to exchanging holders in lieu of the interest payment in respect of the Existing Convertible Notes that was due on August 1, 2025). No separate cash payment will be made at the settlement of the exchange for accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes being exchanged. The Company, the guarantors party thereto from time to time and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “New Convertible Notes Trustee”) and collateral trustee, entered into an indenture (the “New Convertible Notes Indenture”), dated as of the Closing Date, governing the New Convertible Notes.

The Convertible Notes Exchanges were made, and the New Convertible Notes were issued, in reliance on a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The New Convertible Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon their conversion have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and the New Convertible Notes and such shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The initial maximum number of securities underlying the New Convertible Notes, assuming the largest “make-whole” addition to the conversion rate under the New Convertible Notes Indenture, and assuming that the Company has obtained the requisite stockholder approval referred to above, is 1,543,174 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Certain terms and conditions of the New Convertible Notes are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated annual audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 (the "2024 Annual Report"), and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the "Risk Factors" section in our 2024 Annual Report as well as the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "INNOVATE" means INNOVATE Corp. and the "Company," "we" and "our" mean INNOVATE together with its consolidated subsidiaries. "U.S. GAAP" means accounting principles accepted in the United States of America.

Our Business and Our Operations

We are a diversified holding company with principal operations conducted through three operating platforms or reportable segments: Infrastructure ("DBMG"), Life Sciences ("Pansend"), and Spectrum, plus our Other segment, which includes businesses that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

For additional information on our business, refer to Note 1. Organization and Business to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Cyclical Patterns

Our segments' operations can be highly cyclical. Our volume of business in our Infrastructure segment may be adversely affected by declines or delays in projects, which may vary by geographic region. Project schedules, particularly in connection with large, complex, and longer-term projects can also create fluctuations in the services provided, which may adversely affect us in any given period.

For example, in connection with larger, more complicated projects, the timing of obtaining permits and other approvals may be delayed, and we may need to maintain a portion of our workforce and equipment in an underutilized capacity to ensure we are strategically positioned to deliver on such projects when they move forward.

Examples of other items that may cause our results or demand for our services to fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter include: weather or project site conditions; the spending patterns, including seasonal trends, and financial condition of our customers and their access to capital; our profit margins on projects performed during any particular period; rising interest rates and inflation; and regulatory, economic, political and market conditions on a regional, national or global scale.

Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.

Recent Developments

We continually evaluate strategic and business alternatives within our operating segments, which may include the following: operating, growing or acquiring additional assets or businesses related to current or historical operations; or winding down or selling our existing operations. In the longer-term, we may evaluate opportunities to acquire assets or businesses unrelated to our current or historical operations. In the event we were to enter into a strategic transaction to sell any of our existing operations, our intention is to use available proceeds from such transaction to address our capital structure.

In 2025, and subsequent to quarter end, as part of our strategic process, we engaged in several transactions that had or will have an effect on the results of operations and financial condition of our business and individual segments.

Debt Obligations and Financing

During 2025 thus far, and subsequent to quarter end we have refinanced some of our debt, including at the subsidiary level. This financing helped us provide needed capital for our operations and the operations of our subsidiaries.

Subsequent to quarter end, on August 4, 2025, the Company closed a series of indebtedness refinancing transactions that will extend certain of the Company’s debt maturities. The refinancing transactions include (i) the initial closing of an exchange offer and consent solicitation with respect to the Company’s senior secured notes, (ii) privately negotiated exchanges of certain of the Company’s convertible senior notes, (iii) amendment and extension of the Company’s 2020 revolving credit agreement, (iv) amendment and extension of the Company’s CGIC note, as well as the exchange of a portion of the Company’s preferred stock held by CGIC in exchange for increasing the principal amount of that note, (v) amendment and extension of the Spectrum debt and (vi) amendment and extension of the R2 Technologies debt. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information.

Infrastructure

On May 20, 2025, DBMG entered into an Amended and Restated Credit agreement (the "DBMG Credit Agreement"), with the lenders which are party thereto from time to time (each a “Lender” and collectively the “Lenders”) and UMB BANK, N.A. ("UMB"). The DBMG Credit Agreement provides DBMG with senior secured debt financing in an amount up to $220.0 million in the aggregate, consisting of (i) a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “DBMG Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $135.0 million and (ii) a senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $85.0 million.

The DBMG Credit Facility will mature on May 20, 2030. DBMG entered into the DBMG Revolving Facility to fully repay DBMG’s existing debt obligations and provide additional working capital capacity.

On May 20, 2025, concurrently with DBMG’s entry into the new DBMG Credit Agreement, DBMG terminated its prior Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2021 and as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated August 2, 2022, the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated December 12, 2023, and the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated June 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Prior DBMG Credit Agreement”). DBMG used a portion of the proceeds of the new DBMG Credit Agreement to refinance the indebtedness under the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement, and thereafter terminated the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement. The maturity dates of the revolving line and term loans under the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement were August 15, 2025, and May 31, 2026, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, DBMG had a total outstanding balance of $30.0 million under its new revolving facility and the effective interest rate on DBMG's revolving loans was 7.60% as of June 30, 2025. Interest on the new revolving facility is paid monthly and the new revolving facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum times the average daily unused availability under the line,

As of June 30, 2025, the total outstanding balance of DBMG's term loans was $85.0 million. Principal payments and interest on DBMG's term loans are paid monthly, and the effective interest rate was 8.16% as of June 30, 2025

Life Sciences

R2 Technologies has a short-term note with Lancer Capital. The stated interest on the note, as amended, is 20% and is payable monthly in arrears, in cash or, if not paid in cash, accrued and unpaid interest is capitalized monthly into the principal balance. During the first quarter of 2025, with an effective date of December 31, 2024, the maturity date of the note was extended to August 1, 2025, and another additional exit fee of $1.0 million was incurred under the amendment, which continues to increase by $1.0 million each month until maturity. The base exit fee, as amended, and as of June 30, 2025, was equal to 12.92% of the principal amount being repaid and continues to increase by 0.17% each month until maturity. The total new exit fees associated with the notes have been recorded as an original issue discount of $8.7 million and are being amortized over the remaining life of the note, which is assumed to be the maturity date. A corresponding liability for the new exit fees of $8.7 million was recorded for total accrued exit fees of $16.5 million which are included within Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025. The exit fees are payable on the earliest of the maturity date, the date of the acceleration of the principal amount of the note for any reason or, if any portion of the note is prepaid at any time, the date of such prepayment of the note. In addition, under the recent amendment, a new $5.0 million default fee will be payable on August 1, 2025, in the event all obligations under the note, including principal, any accrued and unpaid interest, and exit fees, are not repaid in full prior to the August 1, 2025, maturity date. The $5.0 million default fee will only be recognized in the event of a default on August 1, 2025. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the note was further amended. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events for additional information.

As of June 30, 2025, the total carrying amount relating to the 20% note was $41.6 million, inclusive of $26.5 million of principal and capitalized interest, partially offset by $1.4 million of unamortized original issue discount, which are included within the Current portion of debt obligations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and $16.5 million in total accrued exit fees which are included within Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Equity Method Investments

On January 17, 2025, MediBeacon received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its Transdermal GFR Measurement System ("TGFR"). Pursuant to the terms of MediBeacon's convertible notes, upon the FDA approval, Pansend's convertible notes of $11.4 million and the related accrued interest of $1.5 million, together totaling $12.9 million, were converted into Series 3 Preferred Stock. In addition, pursuant to its amended commercial partnership with Huadong and, as a result of FDA approval, a $7.5 million milestone payment from Huadong Medicine Co. Ltd ("Huadong"), a publicly traded company on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, to MediBeacon for MediBeacon preferred stock was received in the first quarter of 2025. As a result of these transactions, Pansend's ownership in MediBeacon decreased from 45.9% prior to the transactions to 44.7% subsequent to the transactions. On a fully diluted basis, Pansend's ownership in MediBeacon decreased from 40.1% to 39.7%. As a result of these transactions, Pansend recognized a step-up gain of $4.4 million in Other (expense) income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased Pansend's carrying amount of its investment in MediBeacon. Concurrently, Pansend recognized equity method losses of $5.9 million, consisting of the $4.4 million step-up gain and $1.5 million of interest from the conversion of the convertible notes, which were previously unrecognized because Pansend's carrying amount of its investment in MediBeacon had been previously reduced to zero.

Revenue: Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $71.1 million to $242.0 million from $313.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by our Infrastructure segment and to a lesser extent by our Spectrum segment, which was partially offset by an increase at our Life Sciences segment. The decrease at our Infrastructure segment was primarily driven by the timing and size of projects at Banker Steel, DBMG's commercial structural steel fabrication and erection business, the industrial maintenance and repair business and the construction modeling and detailing business, including the effect of changes in estimated costs to complete those projects recognized in the ordinary course of business in the comparable period, which also had increased activity in the comparable period on certain large commercial construction projects that have since been completed or are nearing completion in the current period. The decrease at our Spectrum segment was primarily driven by the loss of certain customers and a decrease in direct response advertising, which was partially offset by the launch of new networks subsequent to the comparable period. The increase at our Life Sciences segment was attributable to R2 Technologies, primarily driven by increases in Glacial Spa unit sales, consumable sales and Glacial fx unit sales outside North America, as well as an increase in Glacial fx unit sales and consumable sales in North America. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in Glacial Rx unit sales in North America.

44

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $112.1 million to $516.2 million from $628.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment and to a lesser extent our Spectrum segment, which was partially offset by an increase at our Life Sciences segment. The decrease at our Infrastructure segment was primarily driven by the timing and size of projects at Banker Steel and the industrial maintenance and repair business, including the effect of changes in estimated costs to complete those projects recognized in the ordinary course of business in the comparable period, which also had increased activity in the prior year on certain large commercial construction projects that have since been completed or are nearing completion in the current period. The decrease at our Spectrum segment was primarily driven by the loss of certain customers and a decrease in direct response advertising, which was partially offset by the launch of new networks subsequent to the comparable period. The increase at our Life Sciences segment was attributable to R2 Technologies, primarily driven by an increase in Glacial fx unit sales and consumable sales in North America, as well as an increase in Glacial Spa unit sales, consumable sales and Glacial fx unit sales outside North America.

Income from operations: Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $23.9 million to $4.9 million from $28.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a net decrease in gross profit of $20.0 million, a decrease in other operating income of $11.7 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $7.8 million. The net decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment due to timing and size of projects that have since been completed or are nearing completion in the current period, including the effect of changes in estimated costs to complete those projects recognized in the ordinary course of business in the comparable period. The decrease in other operating income was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment as a result of unrepeated gains on lease modifications and unrepeated gains on the sale of various properties in the comparable period, as well as various losses on the sale of properties and a loss on lease modification in the current period. Partially offsetting the above decreases was a decrease in SG&A, which was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment primarily due to a decrease in compensation-related expenses due to timing, and to a lesser extent, decreases in travel expenses and professional and consulting fees.

Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $23.3 million to $8.3 million from $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a net decrease in gross profit of $23.1 million, a decrease in other operating income of $9.7 million, partially offset by, a decrease SG&A expenses of $9.5 million The net decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment due to timing and size of projects that have since been completed or are nearing completion in the current period, including the effect of changes in estimated costs to complete those projects recognized in the ordinary course of business in the comparable period. The decrease in other operating income was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment as a result of unrepeated gains on lease modifications and unrepeated gains on the sale of various properties in the comparable period, as well as various losses on the sale of properties and a loss on lease modification in the current period. Partially offsetting the above decreases was a decrease in SG&A, which was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment primarily due to a decrease in compensation-related expenses primarily due to timing, and, to a lesser extent, decreases in consulting fees and travel expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in computer and software-related costs in the current period.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $4.9 million to $21.4 million from $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $7.9 million to $41.6 million from $33.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases were primarily attributable to increases in exit fees and a higher outstanding principal balance at our Life Sciences segment as a result of the capitalization of unpaid interest into the principal balance subsequent to the comparable period, and, to a lesser extent our Spectrum segment, as well as an increase in interest rates at the Infrastructure segment. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by our Infrastructure and Non-Operating Corporate segments due to a net decrease in outstanding principal balances.

Loss from equity investees: Loss from equity investees for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased to zero from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 Pansend was unable to recognize any losses from MediBeacon due to Pansend's net carrying amount of its investment in MediBeacon being zero, whereas during the three months ended June 30, 2024, Pansend was able to recognize losses from MediBeacon as a result of additional convertible note investments in MediBeacon by Pansend during the second quarter of 2024.

Loss from equity investees for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $3.6 million to $5.9 million from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in loss was due to an increase in losses recognized from MediBeacon. During the six months ended June 30, 2025as a result of the first quarter equity transactions that occurred upon FDA approval of MediBeacon's TGFR, Pansend's basis in MediBeacon increased by $5.9 million, consisting of a $4.4 million step-up gain and $1.5 million from the conversion of accrued interest on Pansend's convertible notes with MediBeacon, resulting in Pansend recognizing $5.9 million of equity method losses that were previously unrecognized. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Pansend's basis in MediBeacon had increased by $2.3 million due to the issuance of additional convertible note investments in the comparable period, resulting in Pansend recognizing $2.3 million of equity method losses that were previously unrecognized. As of both June 30, 2025 and 2024, Pansend's net carrying amount of its investment in MediBeacon was zero, and Pansend had unrecognized losses from this investment. Refer to Note 6. Investments to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information on our equity investments.

Other (expense) income, net: Other (expense) income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $0.5 million to an expense of $0.3 million from income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in interest income at our Life Sciences segment, a net loss on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million at our Infrastructure segment in the current period and an increase in foreign currency translation losses from our Infrastructure segment. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in unrealized fair value gains on marketable securities at our Non-Operating Corporate segment.

Other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $4.7 million to income of $3.7 million from an expense of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the $4.4 million step-up gain following MediBeacon's FDA approval in January 2025, a decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt due to $0.3 million related to a refinancing at our Infrastructure segment during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a $2.2 million loss on debt extinguishment at R2 Technologies in the comparable period, and an increase in unrealized fair value gains on marketable securities at our Non-Operating Corporate segment. These increases were partially offset by an increase in foreign currency translation losses from our Infrastructure segment, a decrease in interest income at our Life Sciences segment and a legal settlement expense at our Non-Operating Corporate segment in the current period.

Income tax (expense) benefit: Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $6.7 million to an expense of $4.2 million from a benefit of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $10.5 million to $11.3 million from $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases in tax expense were primarily driven by the impact of projected pre-tax results on the annual effective tax rate and the limitations on the utilization of net operating losses ("NOL") by INNOVATE's U.S. consolidated group as a result of the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's 80 percent limitation on NOLs incurred after 2017.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") has announced an Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting including a Pillar Two Model to provide for a 15% global minimum tax on the earnings of multinational corporations with consolidated revenue over €750 million. Many jurisdictions have enacted Pillar Two legislation that started to become effective in 2024. The OECD, and its member countries, continue to release new guidance and legislation on Pillar Two. Based on current enacted laws, Pillar Two is not expected to materially impact our effective tax rate or cash flows in the next year. We will continue to evaluate the impact on our financial position as new legislation or guidance is introduced which could change our current assessment.

Revenue: Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $1.5 million to $3.2 million from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to R2 Technologies, primarily driven by increases in Glacial Spa unit sales, consumable sales and Glacial fx unit sales outside North America, as well as an increase in Glacial fx unit sales and consumable sales in North America. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in Glacial Rx unit sales in North America.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $3.6 million to $6.3 million from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $2.7 million to $4.4 million from $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases in cost of revenue were attributable to R2 Technologies, primarily driven by the increase in revenue from the additional unit system and consumables sales noted above, and, to a lesser extent, the related increases in warranty expenses, royalty expenses, and freight costs. The increase in cost of revenue was partially offset by changes in product mix sold as the Glacial fx and Glacial Spa systems have a lower production cost per system compared to the Glacial Rx.

Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $0.7 million to $3.8 million from $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The decreases were primarily driven by a decrease in legal fees due to legal matters settled subsequent to the comparable period, as well as slight decreases in other employee-related expenses, accounting and other professional expenses and insurance expense, which were partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense related to the issuance of equity awards to our Interim-CEO, which awards had not yet been granted in the comparable period.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased to zero from $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased to zero from $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decreases were driven by assets that were fully depreciated subsequent to the comparable periods.

Other operating loss (income): Other operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased to zero from income of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Other operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased to zero from a loss of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Other operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to lease termination costs for two leases exited by the Company.

Loss from equity investees	$	—	$	(1.1)	$	1.1	$	(5.9)	$	(2.3)	$	(3.6)

Life Sciences: Loss from equity investees within our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased to zero from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, Pansend was unable to recognize any losses from MediBeacon due to Pansend's net carrying amount of its investment in MediBeacon being zero, whereas during the three months ended June 30, 2024, Pansend was able to recognize losses from MediBeacon as a result of additional convertible note investments in MediBeacon by Pansend during the second quarter of 2024.

Loss from equity investees within our Life Sciences segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $3.6 million to $5.9 million from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in loss was due to an increase in losses recognized from MediBeacon. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, as a result of the first quarter equity transactions that occurred upon FDA approval of MediBeacon's TGFR, Pansend's basis in MediBeacon increased by $5.9 million, consisting of a $4.4 million step-up gain and $1.5 million from the conversion of accrued interest on Pansend's convertible notes with MediBeacon, resulting in Pansend recognizing $5.9 million of equity method losses that were previously unrecognized. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Pansend's basis in MediBeacon had increased by $2.3 million due to the issuance of additional convertible note investments in the comparable period, resulting in Pansend recognizing $2.3 million of equity method losses that were previously unrecognized. As of both June 30, 2025 and 2024, Pansend's net carrying amount of its investment in MediBeacon was zero, and Pansend had unrecognized losses from this investment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement recognized under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which could limit its usefulness.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-U.S. GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our U.S. GAAP financial results. Using Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure has inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as this non-U.S. GAAP measure excludes certain items, including items that are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as a measure of our operating performance.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) attributable to INNOVATE Corp., excluding: discontinued operations, if applicable; depreciation and amortization; other operating (income) loss, which is inclusive of (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets, lease termination costs, (gains) losses on lease modifications, and asset impairment expense; interest expense; other (income) expense, net; income tax expense (benefit); non-controlling interest; share-based compensation expense; realignment and exit costs; and acquisition and disposition costs.

Adjusted EBITDA by segment is summarized as follows:

Infrastructure: Net income from our Infrastructure segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $15.5 million to $5.5 million from $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA from our Infrastructure segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $13.2 million to $19.3 million from $32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue and gross margins at DBMG's commercial structural steel fabrication and erection business, a decrease in revenue at Banker Steel and a decrease in revenue and gross margins at the construction modeling and detailing business, due to timing of certain large commercial construction projects that have since been completed or are nearing completion in the current period. This decrease was partially offset by a an improvement in gross margins at the industrial maintenance and repair business, and a decrease in recurring SG&A expenses, primarily driven by a decrease in compensation-related expenses due to timing, and to a lesser extent, decreases in travel expenses and professional and consulting fees.

Life Sciences: Net loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $2.7 million to $6.5 million from $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $2.2 million to $2.6 million from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily due to the decrease in equity method losses recognized from MediBeacon, as discussed in the Loss from Equity Investees section above, and an increase in gross profit at R2 Technologies, driven by increased revenue (as discussed in the Revenue section above), and a decrease in SG&A expenses at R2 Technologies primarily driven by a decrease in employee commissions.

50

Spectrum: Net loss from our Spectrum segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $1.1 million to $6.1 million from $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA from our Spectrum segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $0.5 million to $1.0 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the loss of certain customers and a decrease in direct response advertising, which was partially offset by the launch of new networks subsequent to the comparable period.

Non-Operating Corporate: Net income (loss) from our Non-Operating Corporate segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $14.8 million to a loss of $12.7 million from income of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Non-Operating Corporate segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $0.5 million to $2.0 million from $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven by a decrease in legal fees due to legal matters settled subsequent to the comparable period, as well as a slight decrease in employee-related expenses, accounting and other professional expenses and insurance expense.

Infrastructure: Net income from our Infrastructure segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $15.3 million to $10.1 million from $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA from our Infrastructure segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $14.8 million to $36.0 million from $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a decrease in gross margins at DBMG's commercial structural steel fabrication and erection business, a decrease revenue at Banker Steel, and a decrease in gross margins and revenue at the construction modeling and detailing business, due to timing of certain large commercial construction projects that have since been completed or are nearing completion in the current period. This decrease was partially offset by an improvement in gross margin at the industrial maintenance and repair business, and a decrease in recurring SG&A expenses, primarily driven by a decrease in compensation-related expenses due to timing, and to a lesser extent, decreases in consulting fees and travel expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in computer and software-related costs in the current period.

Life Sciences: Net loss from our Life Sciences segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $5.8 million to $14.1 million from $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $2.3 million to $11.3 million from $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily due to an increase in equity method losses recognized from MediBeacon, as discussed in the Loss from Equity Investees section above. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was partially offset by an increase in gross profit at R2 Technologies, driven by increased revenue (as discussed in the Revenue section above), and a decrease in SG&A expenses primarily driven by a reduction in compensation-related expenses at Pansend.

Spectrum: Net loss from our Spectrum segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $1.7 million to $11.5 million from $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA from our Spectrum segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $0.7 million to $2.4 million from $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the loss of certain customers and a decrease in direct response advertising, which was partially offset by the launch of new networks subsequent to the comparable period.

Non-Operating Corporate: Net loss from our Non-Operating Corporate segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $18.4 million to $28.8 million from $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Non-Operating Corporate segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $1.2 million to $4.2 million from $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven by a decrease in legal fees due to legal matters settled subsequent to the comparable period, as well as a slight decrease in employee-related expenses, accounting and other professional expenses and insurance expense.

Backlog

Backlog is our estimate of the U.S. dollar amount of future revenues we expect to realize as a result of performing work on projects in backlog. Projects in backlog consist of awarded contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed, change orders, and purchase orders obtained. Backlog increases as contract commitments are obtained, decreases as revenues are recognized and increases or decreases to reflect modifications in the work to be performed under the contracts. Backlog is converted to sales in future periods as work is performed or projects are completed. Backlog can be significantly affected by the receipt or loss of individual contracts.

Infrastructure Segment

As of June 30, 2025, DBMG's backlog was $1,254.4 million, consisting of $1,140.8 million under contracts or purchase orders and $113.6 million under letters of intent or notices to proceed. Approximately $737.1 million, representing 58.8% of DBMG’s backlog as of June 30, 2025, was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more of these projects terminate or reduce their scope, DBMG’s backlog could decrease substantially. DBMG has included an additional $12.2 million in its backlog that is not included in the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations disclosed in Note 3. Revenue and Contracts in Process. This additional backlog includes commitments under master service agreements that are estimated amounts of work to be performed based on customer communications, historic performance and knowledge of our customers' intentions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Subsequent to quarter end, on August 4, 2025, the Company closed a series of indebtedness refinancing transactions that will extend certain of the Company’s debt maturities. The refinancing transactions include (i) the initial closing of an exchange offer and consent solicitation with respect to the Company’s senior secured notes, (ii) privately negotiated exchanges of certain of the Company’s convertible senior notes, (iii) amendment and extension of the Company’s 2020 revolving credit agreement, (iv) amendment and extension of the Company’s CGIC note, as well as the exchange of a portion of the Company’s preferred stock held by CGIC in exchange for increasing the principal amount of that note, (v) amendment and extension of the Spectrum debt and (vi) amendment and extension of the R2 Technologies debt. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information.

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

Our Non-Operating Corporate segment's liquidity needs have primarily been for interest payments on its 8.50% 2026 Senior Secured Notes, 2026 Convertible Notes, Revolving Line of Credit, CGIC Unsecured Note, and dividend payments, out of legally available funds, on its Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock and recurring operational expenses. 

On a consolidated basis, as of June 30, 2025, we had $33.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, compared to $48.8 million as of December 31, 2024. On a stand-alone basis, as of June 30, 2025, our Non-Operating Corporate segment had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $3.1 million and $2.6 million of marketable securities, as compared to cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $13.8 million and $1.8 million of marketable securities as of December 31, 2024.

Our subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of steel construction equipment, OTA broadcast station equipment, development of back-office systems, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $641.3 million of principal indebtedness on a consolidated basis compared to $668.3 million as of December 31, 2024, a net decrease of $27.0 million, due to a $29.5 million decrease in debt at our Infrastructure segment as part of a refinancing transaction, which was partially offset by a net increase at our Life Sciences segment due to the capitalization of $2.5 million of unpaid accrued interest at R2 Technologies into their outstanding principal balance.

On a stand-alone basis, our Non-Operating Corporate segment indebtedness was $429.9 million in principal amount as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The June 30, 2025 indebtedness balance consists of the $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.50% 2026 Senior Secured Notes, $48.9 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Convertible Notes (which excludes the $2.9 million 2026 Convertible Notes repurchased in 2024 and retired by the Company in 2025), $31.0 million principal amount of the CGIC Unsecured Note and $20.0 million aggregate principal amount drawn on our Revolving Line of Credit. Our Non-Operating Corporate segment is required to make semi-annual interest payments on the 8.50% 2026 Senior Secured Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes on February 1st and August 1st of each year, quarterly interest payments on the Revolving Line of Credit, and monthly interest payments on the CGIC Unsecured Note. As described below, the interest rate on the CGIC Unsecured Note increased from 9.0% per annum to 16.0% per annum on May 9, 2024, and increased from 16.0% per annum to 32.0% per annum on May 9, 2025.

We are required to make dividend payments, out of legally available funds, on our outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on January 15th, April 15th, July 15th, and October 15th of each year. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company accrued the 7.5% quarterly dividend of $0.3 million and subsequently paid the dividend in April 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company accrued the 7.5% quarterly dividend of $0.3 million but did not declare any cash dividends with respect to its outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded the accretion or accrual of additional dividends totaling $1.9 million. See Note 15. Equity and Temporary Equity for additional information.

Our Non-Operating Corporate segment received $0.2 million and $15.8 million in net tax sharing payments from our Infrastructure segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Additionally, our Non-Operating Corporate segment received $5.0 million in dividends from its Infrastructure segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Subsequent to quarter end, DBMG declared a $4.4 million cash dividend which will be paid on August 21, 2025. Innovate expects to receive approximately $4.0 million of the total dividend.

We have financed our growth and operations to date, and expect to finance our future growth and operations, through public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities, credit facilities, vendor financing, finance lease financing and other financing arrangements, as well as cash generated from the operations of our subsidiaries. In the future, we may also choose to sell assets or certain investments to generate cash.

Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On March 8, 2024, the Company commenced a rights offering ("Rights Offering"), in which each holder of the Company’s common stock, Series A-3 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and the 2026 Convertible Notes as of March 6, 2024 (the “rights offering record date”), were granted rights to purchase common stock. In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Lancer Capital (the "Investment Agreement"), pursuant to which Lancer Capital agreed to purchase up to $19.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock as a backstop to the Rights Offering (the "Backstop Commitment") and to purchase $16.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock in a private placement transaction ("Concurrent Private Placement"). Lancer Capital is an investment fund led by Avram A. Glazer, the Chairman of the Board and the Company’s largest stockholder. As the Rights Offering had not yet settled by March 28, 2024, in accordance with the Investment Agreement, Lancer Capital purchased $25.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock, referred to as the "equity advance." On April 24, 2024, the Company completed and closed on the Rights Offering and issued a total of 530,611 shares of common stock (5,306,105 shares of common stock on a pre Reverse Stock Split (see below) basis) for $3.7 million. In addition, Lancer Capital purchased an additional approximately 6,286 Series C Preferred Stock for $6.3 million under the Backstop Commitment. In total, the Company received $35.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds related to the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement and incurred $1.8 million in dealer manager fees and other related costs which were capitalized into Additional paid in capital ("APIC"). On June 18, 2024, the Company's shareholders approved the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock, and approximately 31,286 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which were held by Lancer Capital, were converted into 4,469,390 shares of common stock (44,693,895 shares of common stock on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis), and there were no shares of the Series C Preferred Stock outstanding subsequent to their conversion into the Company's common stock.

INNOVATE utilized the net proceeds from the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement for general corporate purposes, including debt service and for working capital. As a result of the closing of the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement, a mandatory prepayment was required on the CGIC Unsecured Note, and on April 26, 2024, INNOVATE redeemed $4.1 million of the CGIC Unsecured Note. See Note 15. Equity and Temporary Equity for additional information.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, as of the date of these financial statements, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The principal conditions leading to this conclusion are the upcoming maturity of R2 Technologies' debt and from certain cross-default provisions in the Company's Senior Secured Notes. Based on these conditions, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations at maturity and comply with certain cross-default provisions under the Senior Secured Notes over the next twelve months.

Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to the Company's ability to meet its obligations. The potential inability to refinance or extend the maturity of the aforementioned current debt, or to obtain additional financing, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company plans to alleviate these conditions through various initiatives it is currently exploring, including pursuing asset sales and refinancing the debt at Corporate and certain of its subsidiaries and raising additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to raise additional capital when needed, be successful in any asset sales, or refinance its existing debt, on attractive terms, or at all nor any assurances that lenders will provide additional extensions, waivers or amendments in the event of future non-compliance with the Company’s debt covenants or other possible events of default. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to execute a reduction, extension, or refinancing of the debt, or that the terms of any replacement financing would be as favorable as the terms of the debt prior to the maturity date. There can be no assurance that these plans will be successfully implemented or that they will mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events for additional information.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, or expenses that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

While the Company has noted the conditions above regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, it is important to note that the Company’s largest subsidiary, DBMG, is operationally profitable, continues to maintain a strong financial position and remains in good standing with its lenders. Under INNOVATE’s Senior Secured Notes Indenture, DBMG is a restricted subsidiary, not a guarantor, and INNOVATE’s equity interests in DBMG are pledged as collateral.

Non-Operating Corporate

2026 Senior Secured Notes

On February 1, 2021, our Non-Operating Corporate segment repaid the senior secured notes that were due in 2021 and issued $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.50% senior secured notes due February 1, 2026 (the "8.50% 2026 Senior Secured Notes"). The 2026 Senior Secured Notes mature on February 1, 2026, and accrue interest at a rate of 8.50% per year, which interest is paid semi-annually on February 1st and August 1st of each year. If the Company sells certain assets and the net cash proceeds from all applicable asset sales exceed $50.0 million since the issue date of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes, the Company may be required in certain circumstances to make an offer to purchase the notes with the net cash proceeds from such an asset sale in excess of such $50.0 million threshold at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

For additional information on the terms and conditions of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes, including guarantees, ranking and collateral, refer to Note 11.

In July 2024, we repurchased $2.9 million principal amount of our 2026 Convertible Notes at a market discount for $1.1 million, which was inclusive of accrued interest of $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had $48.9 million principal amount of 2026 Convertible Notes outstanding. The 2026 Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or purchased.

Revolving Line of Credit

We have a revolving credit agreement with MSD PCOF Partners IX, LLC ("MSD") which has a maximum commitment of $20.0 million ("Revolving Line of Credit"), of which $20.0 million had been drawn as of June 30, 2025. Interest on loans under the Revolving Line of Credit accrues at SOFR plus 5.75% and is payable quarterly. The Revolving Line of Credit also includes a commitment fee at a per annum rate of 1.0% calculated based off the actual daily amount of unused availability under the Revolving Line of Credit with MSD.

CGIC Unsecured Note

On May 9, 2023, in connection with the redemption of the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued a subordinated unsecured promissory note to CGIC in the principal amount of $35.1 million (the "CGIC Unsecured Note").

Infrastructure

As of June 30, 2025, our Infrastructure segment has an aggregate amount of principal outstanding debt, including obligations under finance leases, outstanding of $115.2 million.

On May 20, 2025, DBMG entered into an Amended and Restated Credit agreement (the "DBMG Credit Agreement"), with the lenders which are party thereto from time to time (each a “Lender” and collectively the “Lenders”) and UMB BANK, N.A. ("UMB"). The DBMG Credit Agreement provides DBMG with senior secured debt financing in an amount up to $220.0 million in the aggregate, consisting of (i) a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “DBMG Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $135.0 million and (ii) a senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $85.0 million. The DBMG Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature to increase the allowable size of the DBMG Revolving Facility by an additional $50.0 million. The DBMG Credit Facility will mature on May 20, 2030. DBMG entered into the DBMG Revolving Facility to fully repay DBMG’s existing debt obligations and provide additional working capital capacity.

On May 20, 2025, concurrently with DBMG’s entry into the new DBMG Credit Agreement, DBMG terminated its prior Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2021 and as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated August 2, 2022, the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated December 12, 2023, and the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated June 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Prior DBMG Credit Agreement”). DBMG used a portion of the proceeds of the new DBMG Credit Agreement to refinance the indebtedness under the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement, and thereafter terminated the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement. The maturity dates of the revolving line and term loans under the Prior DBMG Credit Agreement were August 15, 2025, and May 31, 2026, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, DBMG had a total outstanding balance of $30.0 million under its new revolving facility and the effective interest rate on DBMG's revolving loans was 7.60%. Interest on the new revolving facility is paid monthly and the new revolving facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum times the average daily unused availability under the line,

As of June 30, 2025, the total outstanding balance of DBMG's term loans was 85.0 million, and the effective interest rate was 8.16%. Principal payments and interest on DBMG's term loans are paid monthly

R2 Technologies has a short-term note with Lancer Capital. Interest on the note, as amended, is payable monthly in arrears, in cash or, if not paid in cash, accrued and unpaid interest is capitalized monthly into the principal balance. During the first quarter of 2025, with an effective date of December 31, 2024, the maturity date of the note was extended to August 1, 2025, and another additional exit fee of $1.0 million was incurred under the amendment, which continues to increase by $1.0 million each month until maturity. The base exit fee, as amended, and as of June 30, 2025, was equal to 12.92% of the principal amount being repaid and continues to increase by 0.17% each month until maturity. The total new exit fees associated with the notes have been recorded as an original issue discount of $8.7 million and are being amortized over the remaining life of the note, which is assumed to be the maturity date. A corresponding liability for the new exit fees of $8.7 million was recorded for total accrued exit fees amount of $16.5 million which are included within Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025. The exit fees are payable on the earliest of the maturity date, the date of the acceleration of the principal amount of the note for any reason or, if any portion of the note is prepaid at any time, the date of such prepayment of the note. In addition, under the recent amendment, a new $5.0 million default fee will be payable on August 1, 2025, in the event all obligations under the note, including principal, any accrued and unpaid interest, and exit fees, are not repaid in full prior to the August 1, 2025, maturity date. The $5.0 million default fee will only be recognized in the event of a default on August 1, 2025. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the note was further amended. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information.

Assuming there are sufficient proceeds remaining after such repayment, an additional $2.0 million is payable for payments made after November 9, 2024, and in exchange for the additional fee, the institutional investors will return their equity interests in HC2 Broadcasting Holdings, Inc. and their equity interests in DTV.

Restrictive Covenants

The indenture governing the 2026 Senior Secured Notes dated February 1, 2021, by and among INNOVATE, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the "Secured Indenture"), contains certain affirmative and negative covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Company, and, in certain cases, the Company’s subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The Company is also required to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, which are similarly subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants include maintenance of (1) liquidity and (2) collateral coverage.

The maintenance of liquidity covenant provides that the Company will not permit the aggregate amount of (i) all unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, (ii) amounts available for drawing under revolving credit facilities and undrawn letters of credit of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (iii) dividends, distributions or payments that are immediately available to be paid to the Company by any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be less than the Company’s obligation to pay interest for the next six months on the 8.50% 2026 Senior Secured Notes and all other Debt, including Convertible Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock mandatory cash dividends or any other mandatory cash pay Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock but excluding any obligation to pay interest on Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock or any other mandatory cash payments on Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock which, in each case, may be paid by accretion or in-kind in accordance with its terms of the Company and its Subsidiary Guarantors. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in non-compliance with this covenant; however, the Company subsequently cured that non-compliance pursuant to the provisions of the indenture as a result of a liquidation of approximately $2.9 million in marketable securities subsequent to quarter end, and, accordingly, after giving effect to such cure the Company is in compliance with this covenant under the Secured Indenture.

The maintenance of collateral coverage provides that the certain subsidiaries' Collateral Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Secured Indenture as the ratio of (i) the Loan Collateral to (ii) Consolidated Secured Debt (each as defined therein)) calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter may not be less than 1.50 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

The instruments governing the Company’s Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock also limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to take certain actions, including, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness; issue additional Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain restricted payments. These limitations are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The Company has conducted its operations in a manner that has resulted in compliance with the Secured Indenture; however, compliance with certain financial covenants for future periods may depend on the Company or one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries undertaking one or more non-operational transactions, such as the management of operating cash outflows, a monetization of assets, a debt incurrence or refinancing, the raising of equity capital, or similar transactions. If the Company is unable to remain in compliance and does not make alternate arrangements, an event of default would occur under the Company’s Secured Indenture which, among other remedies, could result in the outstanding obligations under the indenture becoming immediately due and payable and permitting the exercise of remedies with respect to the collateral. There is no assurance the Company will be able to complete any non-operational transaction it may undertake to maintain compliance with covenants under the Secured Indenture or, even if the Company completes any such transaction, that it will be able to maintain compliance for any subsequent period.

The debt associated with our Infrastructure segment contain customary restrictive and financial covenants related to debt levels and performance, including a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant, and a Senior Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio, both as defined in the agreement.

As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants of our debt agreements, other than with respect to the minimum liquidity covenant under the Secured Indenture that was cured subsequent to quarter end as noted above.

Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information on amendments to debt covenants subsequent to quarter end.

Summary of Consolidated Cash Flows

The below table summarizes the cash provided by or used in our activities (in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2025		2024
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	26.3	$	(3.9)	$	30.2
Cash used in investing activities	(10.2)		(0.7)		(9.5)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(32.2)		4.6		(36.8)
Effects of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	0.8		(0.6)		1.4
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash	$	(15.3)	$	(0.6)	$	(14.7)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an improvement of $30.2 million. Cash flows from operations are primarily influenced by changes in the timing of demand for services and by operating margins, but can also be affected by working capital needs associated with our operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the improvement in cash flows from operating activities was primarily driven by a decrease in working capital outflows at our Infrastructure segment, slightly offset by an increase in cash used in operating activities at our Non-Operating Corporate segment. The decrease in working capital outflows at our Infrastructure segment was primarily due to normal business fluctuations in contract-related assets and liabilities, accounts payable, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities due to the timing of regular billing and collection activities and ordinary project activity. Our Non-Operating Corporate segment's increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increases in cash paid for taxes and interest.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase in cash used in investing activities of $9.5 million. Capital expenditures totaled $10.8 million, or $9.6 million net of proceeds from disposals, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $8.7 million, or $1.1 million net proceeds after disposals, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, for a net increase in cash used in investing activities of $10.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment, which had more PP&E sales in the comparable period due to a plant closure in the first quarter of 2024, and slightly increased PP&E additions in the current period at our Infrastructure and Spectrum segments. In addition, our Spectrum segment made acquisition payments of $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, our Corporate segment purchased marketable investments for $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and other investing activities for the comparable period included unrepeated proceeds of $0.5 million related to a note receivable at our Life Sciences segment. These increases in cash used in investing activities were partially offset by unrepeated loans made by our Life Sciences segment to MediBeacon of $2.3 million in the comparable period.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $32.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase in cash used in financing activities of $36.8 million. The increase in financing cash outflows was primarily driven by our Non-Operating Corporate segment, which received $33.2 million in net proceeds from the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement in 2024. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, net repayments on other debt obligations totaled $15.4 million, as compared to net proceeds of $2.0 million in the comparable period, an increase in cash outflows of $17.4 million. The increase in net repayments on other debt obligations was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment, who refinanced their debt in the current period, and had a $21.5 million net increase in term loan outflows. This was partially offset by our Non-Operating Corporate segment, due to an unrepeated $4.1 million repayment on the CGIC Unsecured Note in the comparable period. Net cash outflows from revolving credit facility activity were $15.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $30.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, for a decrease in net cash outflows of $14.4 million, which was attributable to our Infrastructure segment refinancing activities. The increase in cash used in financing activities was also driven by a $0.5 million increase in dividends paid due to dividends declared and paid by DBMG during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and a $0.1 million increase in other financing activities.

Infrastructure

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities are the principal source of cash used to fund DBMG’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and capital expenditures. DBMG's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations including receivables, inventories, and other costs incurred in performing on its contracts. DBMG attempts to structure the payment arrangements under its contracts to match costs incurred under the project. To the extent it is able to bill in advance of costs incurred, DBMG generates working capital through billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts. DBMG relies on its credit facilities to meet its working capital needs. DBMG believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under its bank credit facilities will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for its operating expenses, working capital needs, interest payments on debt and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. However, DBMG may expand its operations through future acquisitions and may require additional equity or debt financing.

DBMG is required to make monthly interest payments on all of its debt. Based upon the June 30, 2025, debt balance, DBMG anticipates that its interest payments will be approximately $2.2 million for each remaining quarter of 2025.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference for additional information.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Fiscal Year 2024 Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
