Organization and Basis of Presentation
KORE Group Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “KORE,” or the “Company”) provides advanced connectivity services, location-based services, device solutions, managed and professional services used in the development and support of the “Internet of Things” (“IoT”) technology for the machine-to-machine market. The Company’s IoT platform is delivered in partnership with the world’s largest mobile network operators and provides secure, reliable, wireless connectivity to mobile and fixed devices. This technology enables the Company to expand its global technology platform by transferring capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and delivers complimentary products to channel partners and resellers worldwide.
The Company is incorporated in the state of Delaware and its operations are primarily located in North America. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “KORE”.
Interim Financial Statements
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of revenue recognition, fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, assessments of indicators of impairment regarding various assets including goodwill, calculation of capitalized software costs, accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in these estimates may occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the potential applicability and effect of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
The following ASU was adopted by the Company subsequent to the issuance of its Annual Report on Form 10-K:
ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50) - Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50) - Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs used by an entity in connection with the purchase of goods and services. ASU No. 2022-04 is effective for all companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the required rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption was permitted. During the fiscal year of adoption, ASU 2022-04 requires information on the key terms of the program(s) and the balance sheet presentation of the program obligations, which are annual disclosure requirements, to be disclosed in each interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2022-04, on January 1, 2023.
In each annual reporting period, the Company is required to disclose the following information:
1. The key terms of the program, including a description of the payment terms (including payment timing and basis for its determination) and assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the finance provider or intermediary.

2. For the obligations that the Company has confirmed as valid to the finance provider or intermediary:
a. The amount outstanding that remains unpaid by the Company as of the end of the annual period (the “outstanding confirmed amount”);
b. A description of where those obligations are presented in the balance sheet;
c. A rollforward of those obligations during the annual period, including the amount of obligations confirmed and the amount of obligations subsequently paid.

In each interim reporting period (subject to the applicable transition guidance as described above in the initial year of adoption), the Company is required to disclose the amount of obligations outstanding that it has confirmed as valid to the finance provider or intermediary as of the end of the interim period.
The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs, but rather, had the effect of requiring additional disclosures. See Note 5—Premium Finance Agreement.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were no significant changes in recently issued accounting pronouncements pending adoption from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption not discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
