Exela Technologies, Inc. Announces Update to Delayed 2019 10-K Filing and Restatement, and Preliminary 2019 Expected Financial Results

Company Expects to Report 2019 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Within Guidance

IRVING, Texas, March 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exela Technologies, Inc. (“Exela” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XELA), a location-agnostic global business process automation (“BPA”) leader across numerous industries, today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 12b-25, a Notification of Late Filing, for its 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and on Form 8-K, details regarding the restatement of its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the interim periods through September 30, 2019 as previously disclosed on March 16, 2020. The restatement is not expected to have a material impact on previously reported Revenue or Adjusted EBITDA.

In addition, the Company noted that as of March 16, 2020, it had cash on hand and available borrowings of approximately $100 million, and reaffirmed its full year 2019 guidance for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA issued on November 12, 2019.

Exela currently expects to file the Company's Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019, and restated financial statements for 2017 and 2018 and the interim periods through September 30, 2019, on or before March 31, 2020. The Company also plans to release its full fourth quarter 2019 financial results concurrently with such filing. Once that date is finalized, Exela will schedule an investor conference call to discuss the financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2019. Although Exela is working diligently to complete the 2019 Form 10-K, and restatements of its financial statements for 2017 and 2018 and the interim periods through September 30, 2019, and currently expects to complete and file these items by March 31, 2020, given factors such as potential work interruptions associated with the COVID-19 coronavirus, no assurance can be given that they will be filed within such period.
