KLDiscovery Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Note 1 – Organization, business and summary of significant accounting policies

Organization

KLDiscovery Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a leading global provider of eDiscovery, information governance and data recovery solutions to corporations, law firms, insurance companies and individuals in 16 countries around the world. We provide technology solutions to help our clients solve complex data challenges. The Company’s headquarters are located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The Company has 25 locations in 16 countries, as well as 9 data centers and 13 data recovery labs globally.

 

The Company was originally incorporated under the name Pivotal Acquisition Corp. (“Pivotal”) as a blank check company on August 2, 2018 under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

 

On December 19, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Pivotal acquired the outstanding shares of LD Topco, Inc. via a reverse capitalization (the “Business Combination”) and was renamed KLDiscovery Inc.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KLDiscovery and all its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial and risk factor information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which we previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Liquidity and going concern evaluation

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company is required to evaluate each reporting period, including interim periods, whether there is substantial doubt regarding its ability to meet its obligations when they come due within one year from the financial statement issuance date.

 

On February 8, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Loan Parties”), entered into a new secured credit agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) and on March 3, 2023, the Loan Parties entered into the First Amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Amended 2021 Credit Agreement”). In addition, on December 19, 2019, the Company issued Convertible Debentures, which mature in 2024, in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million (the “Debentures” or the “Convertible Debentures”).

 

The Amended 2021 Credit Agreement provides for (i) initial term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million (the “Initial Term Loans”), (ii) delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”), and (iii) revolving credit loans in an aggregate principal amount of $40 million, with a letter of credit sublimit of $10 million (the Revolving Credit Loans”).

 

The Initial Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans are each scheduled to mature on February 8, 2026, unless the Convertible Debentures are outstanding six months prior to the December 19, 2024 maturity date thereof, in which case the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement matures on June 19, 2024.

 

The Company has historically incurred losses and in certain years cash flows have been negative. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s cash balance was $25.4 million and the Company’s debt balance was $544.8 million, including a balance of $252.3 million under the Convertible Debentures and a balance of $292.5 million in Initial Term Loans under the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement (no amounts were outstanding under the Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans). As of September 30, 2023, the Company does not anticipate repaying the Convertible Debentures by June 19, 2024 and as such, the Initial Term Loans debt of $292.5 million is included in the current portion of long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand, and does not expect to generate sufficient liquidity from forecasted future cash flows to repay its current obligations including the Initial Term Loans, at the accelerated maturity date.

 

The Company is reviewing potential alternatives, including renegotiating the terms of the Convertible Debentures and/or the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement and identifying alternative sources for cash or additional financing. The Company's current debt structure, however, raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because these or other alternatives may not be achievable on favorable terms and conditions or at all. The Company’s condensed financial statements do

not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty and have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Although actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not believe that such differences would be material.

 

Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the recoverability and useful lives of property and equipment, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the valuation and realization of deferred income taxes, the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and stock option awards.

Segments, concentration of credit risk and major customers

The Company operates in one business segment, providing technology-based litigation support solutions and services.

 

Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with a banking institution where the balances, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the risks associated with these deposits are limited.

 

With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers, generally grants uncollateralized credit terms to its customers, and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and management’s expectations of future losses. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any single customer that represented five percent (5%) or more of its consolidated revenues or accounts receivable. The Company believes that the geographic and industry diversity of the Company’s customer base throughout the U.S. and internationally minimizes the risk of incurring material losses due to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s foreign revenues, principally from businesses in the UK and Germany, totaled approximately $11.5 million and $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively; and $40.6 million and $36.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The Company’s long-lived assets in foreign countries, principally in the UK and Germany, totaled approximately $25.8 million and $25.9 million as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Foreign currency

Results of operations for the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated from the designated functional currency to the reporting currency of the U.S. dollar. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for each month, while assets and liabilities are translated at balance sheet date exchange rates. Resulting net translation adjustments are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Transaction gains and losses arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in “Other (income) expense” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Such transaction gains and losses may be realized or unrealized depending upon whether the transaction settled during the period or remains outstanding at the balance sheet date.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the original invoice amount less an estimate for doubtful receivables based on a re
