Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On May 7, 2021, Advantage Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) announced that as a result of recent guidance provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2021 relating to the accounting treatment of warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies, it will revise its consolidated financial statements previously issued in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 to make certain immaterial adjustments related to the accounting treatment for certain private placement warrants. The revisions are expected to result in non-cash, non-operating financial statement adjustments and have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported revenues, cash position, operating expenses or total operating, investing or financing cash flows. Additionally, there is no anticipated impact on the Company’s non-GAAP operating metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Net Debt. The Company is evaluating the impact of this revision on our internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for certain private placement warrants.

 

The information and expected impact to the Company’s historical financial results contained in this Item 2.02 are preliminary, do not present all information necessary for an understanding of the Company’s revised financial condition as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and its revised results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are subject to change as management completes the revision of its financial statements.
