IRON MOUNTAIN INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

1. GENERAL

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries ("we" or "us"), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented herein and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, which are included herein, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024 (our "Annual Report").

We have been organized and have operated as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash invested in highly liquid short-term securities, which have remaining maturities at the date of purchase of less than 90 days. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

B. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit memo reserve for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of our customers to make required payments and potential disputes regarding billing and service issues. The rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memo reserves for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows:



Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	74,762

(1)Primarily relates to the fair values of the deferred purchase obligations associated with the ITRenew Transaction (as defined in Note 3 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report) and the Regency Transaction (as defined in Note 3).

(2)The following is a rollforward of the Level 3 liabilities presented above for December 31, 2023 through March 31, 2024:



Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	208,265
Additions	63,600
Payments	(158,677)
Other changes, including accretion	283
Balance as of March 31, 2024	$	113,471

The level 3 valuations of the deferred purchase obligations were determined utilizing Monte-Carlo models and take into account our forecasted projections as they relate to the underlying performance of the respective businesses. The Monte-Carlo simulation model applied in assessing the fair value of the deferred purchase obligation associated with the ITRenew Transaction incorporates assumptions as to expected gross profits over the achievement period, including adjustments for the volatility of timing and amount of the associated revenue and costs, as well as discount rates that account for the risk of the arrangement and overall market risks. The Monte-Carlo simulation model applied in assessing the fair value of the deferred purchase obligation associated with the Regency Transaction incorporates assumptions as to expected revenue over the achievement period, including adjustments for volatility and timing, as well as discount rates that account for the risk of the arrangement and overall market risks. Any material change to these assumptions may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value of the related deferred purchase obligation.

There were no material items that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 other than (i) those disclosed in Note 2.p. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and (ii) assets acquired and liabilities assumed through our acquisitions that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 (see Note 3), both of which are based on Level 3 inputs.

3. ACQUISITIONS

REGENCY TECHNOLOGIES

On January 3, 2024, in order to expand our asset lifecycle management ("ALM") business, we acquired 100% of RSR Partners, LLC (doing business as Regency Technologies), an information technology asset disposition services provider with operations throughout the United States, for an initial purchase price of approximately $200,000, with $125,000 paid at closing, funded by borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6), and the remaining $75,000 (the “January 2025 Payment”) to be paid in January 2025 (the "Regency Transaction"). The present value of the January 2025 Payment is included as a component of Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2024. The agreement for the Regency Transaction also includes a performance-based contingent consideration with a potential earnout range from zero to $200,000 based upon achievement of certain three-year cumulative revenue targets, which would be payable in 2027, if earned (the “Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation”). The preliminary fair value estimate of the Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation as of the date of the acquisition is approximately $78,400. The present value of the Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation is included as a component of Other Long-term Liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2024. Subsequent increases or decreases in the fair value estimate of the Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation, as well as the accretion of the discount to present value, will be included as a component of Other (income) expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations until the deferred purchase obligation is settled or paid. Subsequent to the acquisition, the results of Regency Technologies are included as a component of Corporate and Other.

PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

A summary of the cumulative consideration paid and the preliminary allocation of the purchase price paid for all of our acquisitions closed during the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024
Cash Paid (gross of cash acquired)	$	125,000
Deferred Purchase Obligations, Purchase Price Holdbacks and Other(1)	133,713



Total Consideration	258,713
Fair Value of Identifiable Assets Acquired(2)	155,259






Fair Value of Identifiable Liabilities Acquired	(28,241)
Goodwill Initially Recorded(3)	$	131,695

(1)Consists of the acquisition-date present values of the Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation and the January 2025 Payment.

(2)Assets acquired include a customer and supplier relationship intangible asset, which has a fair value of $108,000 and a weighted average life of approximately 20 years.

(3)Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce, expanded market opportunities and costs and other operating synergies anticipated upon the integration of the operations of us and the acquired businesses.

The preliminary purchase price allocations that are not finalized as of March 31, 2024 relate to the final assessment of the fair values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets associated with the acquisitions we closed during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Any adjustments to our estimates of purchase price allocation will be made in the periods in which the adjustments are determined, and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition dates. Purchase price allocation adjustments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were not material to our balance sheet or results from operations.

5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative instruments we are party to include: (i) interest rate swap agreements (which are designated as cash flow hedges) and (ii) cross-currency swap agreements (which are designated as net investment hedges).

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS DESIGNATED AS CASH FLOW HEDGES

We utilize interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. Certain of our interest rate swap agreements have notional amounts that will increase with the underlying hedged transaction. Under our interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the interest rate swap agreements. Our interest rate swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets, while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have approximately $1,104,000 and $520,000, respectively, in notional value outstanding on our interest rate swap agreements, with maturity dates ranging from October 2025 through February 2027.

CROSS-CURRENCY SWAP AGREEMENTS DESIGNATED AS A HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT

We utilize cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. As of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have approximately $509,200 in notional value outstanding on cross-currency interest rate swaps, with maturity dates ranging from August 2024 through February 2026.

We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as hedges of net investments in certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and they require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. These cross-currency swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the cross-currency swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. The excluded component of our cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis.

6. DEBT (CONTINUED)

DEBT COVENANTS

The Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take other specified corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement requires that we satisfy a net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio on a quarterly basis, and our bond indentures require that, among other things, we satisfy a leverage ratio (not lease adjusted) or a fixed charge coverage ratio (not lease adjusted) as a condition to taking actions such as paying dividends and incurring indebtedness.

The Credit Agreement uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent expense ("EBITDAR") based calculations and the bond indentures use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The EBITDAR- and EBITDA-based leverage calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries" as defined in the Credit Agreement and bond indentures. Generally, the Credit Agreement and the bond indentures use a trailing four fiscal quarter basis for purposes of the relevant calculations and require certain adjustments and exclusions for purposes of those calculations, which make the calculation of financial performance for purposes of those calculations under the Credit Agreement and bond indentures not directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein. We are in compliance with our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness as of March 31, 2024. Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including litigation arising from damage to customer assets in our facilities caused by fires and other natural disasters. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we do not believe any current litigation will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have estimated a reasonably possible range for all loss contingencies and believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur aggregate losses in addition to amounts currently accrued for all matters up to an additional $15,000 over the next several years, of which certain amounts would be covered by insurance or indemnity arrangement.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY MATTERS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in this Quarterly Report that constitute "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our current expectations regarding our future results from operations, economic performance, financial condition, goals, strategies, investment objectives, plans and achievements. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and you should not rely upon them except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. When we use words such as "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "estimates", "plans", "intends", "pursue", "will" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. In addition, important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others:

•our ability or inability to execute our strategic growth plan, including our ability to invest according to plan, grow our businesses (including through joint ventures or other co-investment vehicles), incorporate alternative technologies (including artificial intelligence) into our offerings, achieve satisfactory returns on new product offerings, continue our revenue management, expand and manage our global operations, complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms, integrate acquired companies efficiently and transition to more sustainable sources of energy;

•changes in customer preferences and demand for our storage and information management services, including as a result of the shift from paper and tape storage to alternative technologies that require less physical space;

•the costs of complying with and our ability to comply with laws, regulations and customer requirements, including those relating to data privacy and cybersecurity issues, as well as fire and safety and environmental standards;

•the impact of attacks on our internal information technology ("IT") systems, including the impact of such incidents on our reputation and ability to compete and any litigation or disputes that may arise in connection with such incidents;

•our ability to fund capital expenditures;

•the impact of our distribution requirements on our ability to execute our business plan;

•our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ("REIT");

•changes in the political and economic environments in the countries in which we operate and changes in the global political climate;

•our ability to raise debt or equity capital and changes in the cost of our debt;

•our ability to comply with our existing debt obligations and restrictions in our debt instruments;

•the impact of service interruptions or equipment damage and the cost of power on our data center operations;

•the cost or potential liabilities associated with real estate necessary for our business;

•unexpected events, including those resulting from climate change or geopolitical events, could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our reputation and results of operations;

•failures to implement and manage new IT systems;

•other trends in competitive or economic conditions affecting our financial condition or results of operations not presently contemplated; and

•the other risks described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, including under the caption "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this report.

OVERVIEW

The following discussions set forth, for the periods indicated, management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Significant trends and changes are discussed for the three months ended March 31, 2024 within each section.

PROJECT MATTERHORN

In September 2022, we announced a global program designed to accelerate the growth of our business ("Project Matterhorn"). Project Matterhorn investments focus on transforming our operating model to a global operating model. Project Matterhorn focuses on the formation of a solution-based sales approach that is designed to allow us to optimize our shared services and best practices to better serve our customers' needs. We are investing to accelerate growth and to capture a greater share of the large, global addressable markets in which we operate. We expect to incur approximately $150.0 million in costs annually related to Project Matterhorn from 2023 through 2025. Costs are comprised of (1) restructuring costs, which include (i) site consolidation and other related exit costs, (ii) employee severance costs and (iii) certain professional fees associated with these activities, and (2) other transformation costs, which include professional fees such as project management costs and costs for third party consultants who are assisting in the enablement of our growth initiatives.

GENERAL

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - KEY TRENDS

•Our organic storage rental revenue growth is primarily driven by revenue management in our Global RIM Business segment, where we expect volume to be relatively stable in the near term, as well as by growth in our Global Data Center Business segment, primarily driven by lease commencements.

•Our organic service revenue growth is primarily due to increases in our service activity. We expect organic service revenue growth in 2024 to benefit from our new and existing digital offerings and asset lifecycle management ("ALM") business, as well as our traditional services.

•We expect continued total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2024 as a result of our focus on new product and service offerings, innovation, customer solutions and market expansion in line with our Project Matterhorn objectives.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) and Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consists of the following:

NON-GAAP MEASURES

ADJUSTED EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization (inclusive of our share of Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated joint ventures), and excluding certain items we do not believe to be indicative of our core operating results, specifically:



EXCLUDED
•Acquisition and Integration Costs (as defined below) •Restructuring and other transformation •Loss (gain) on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate)						•Other (income) expense, net •Stock-based compensation expense

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues. We also show Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for each of our reportable segments under "Results of Operations – Segment Analysis" below.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes both interest expense, net and the provision (benefit) for income taxes. These expenses are associated with our capitalization and tax structures, which we do not consider when evaluating the operating profitability of our core operations. Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expenses, in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments, which we evaluate by comparing capital expenditures to incremental revenue generated and as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), such as operating income, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities.

ADJUSTED EPS

We define Adjusted EPS as reported earnings per share fully diluted from net income (loss) attributable to Iron Mountain Incorporated (inclusive of our share of adjusted losses (gains) from our unconsolidated joint ventures) and excluding certain items, specifically:



EXCLUDED
•Acquisition and Integration Costs •Restructuring and other transformation •Amortization related to the write-off of certain customer relationship intangible assets •Loss (gain) on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate)						•Other (income) expense, net •Stock-based compensation expense •Non-cash amortization related to derivative instruments •Tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items

We do not believe these excluded items to be indicative of our ongoing operating results, and they are not considered when we are forecasting our future results. We believe Adjusted EPS is of value to our current and potential investors when comparing our results from past, present and future periods.

(1)The differences between our effective tax rates and our structural tax rate (or adjusted effective tax rates) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are primarily due to (i) the reconciling items above, which impact our reported net income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes but have an insignificant impact on our reported provision (benefit) for income taxes and (ii) other discrete tax items. Our structural tax rate for purposes of the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 13.9% and 15.2%, respectively.

FFO (NAREIT) AND FFO (NORMALIZED)

Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (loss) excluding depreciation on real estate assets, losses and gains on sale of real estate, net of tax, and amortization of data center leased-based intangibles ("FFO (Nareit)"). We calculate our FFO measures, including FFO (Nareit), adjusting for our share of reconciling items from our unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO (Nareit) does not give effect to real estate depreciation because these amounts are computed, under GAAP, to allocate the cost of a property over its useful life. Because values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, we believe that FFO (Nareit) provides investors with a clearer view of our operating performance. Our most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO (Nareit) is net income (loss).

We modify FFO (Nareit), as is common among REITs seeking to provide financial measures that most meaningfully reflect their particular business ("FFO (Normalized)"). Our definition of FFO (Normalized) excludes certain items included in FFO (Nareit) that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically:



EXCLUDED
•Acquisition and Integration Costs •Restructuring and other transformation •Loss (gain) on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (excluding real estate) •Other (income) expense, net						•Stock-based compensation expense •Non-cash amortization related to derivative instruments •Real estate financing lease depreciation •Tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting estimates include the following, which are listed in no particular order:

•Revenue Recognition

•Accounting for Acquisitions

•Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets

•Income Taxes

Further detail regarding our critical accounting estimates can be found in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes included therein. We have determined that no material changes concerning our critical accounting estimates have occurred since December 31, 2023.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

GENERAL

We expect to meet our short-term and long-term cash flow requirements through cash generated from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), as well as other potential financings (such as the issuance of debt). Our cash flow requirements, both in the near and long term, include, but are not limited to, capital expenditures, the repayment of outstanding debt, shareholder dividends, potential business acquisitions and normal business operation needs.

PROJECT MATTERHORN

As disclosed above, in September 2022, we announced Project Matterhorn.

Part I. Financial Information

DEBT COVENANTS

The Credit Agreement uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent expense ("EBITDAR") based calculations and the bond indentures use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The EBITDAR- and EBITDA-based leverage calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries" as defined in the Credit Agreement and bond indentures. Generally, the Credit Agreement and the bond indentures use a trailing four fiscal quarter basis for purposes of the relevant calculations and require certain adjustments and exclusions for purposes of those calculations, which make the calculation of financial performance for purposes of those calculations under the Credit Agreement and bond indentures not directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein. These adjustments can be significant. For example, the calculation of financial performance under the Credit Agreement and certain of our bond indentures includes (subject to specified exceptions and caps) adjustments for non-cash charges and for expected benefits associated with (i) completed acquisitions, (ii) certain executed lease agreements associated with our data center business that have yet to commence, and (iii) restructuring and other strategic initiatives. The calculation of financial performance under our other bond indentures includes, for example, adjustments for non-cash charges and for expected benefits associated with (i) completed acquisitions and (ii) events that are extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring.

Our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2024 are as follows:

MARCH 31, 2024

MAXIMUM/MINIMUM ALLOWABLE

Net total lease adjusted leverage ratio

5.1

Maximum allowable of 7.0

Fixed charge coverage ratio

2.4

Minimum allowable of 1.5

We are in compliance with our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness as of March 31, 2024. Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

Our ability to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance, working capital levels and capital structure, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors which may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future financings will be available on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to enable us to service or refinance our indebtedness or to make necessary capital expenditures.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

ACQUISITIONS

REGENCY TECHNOLOGIES

On January 3, 2024, in order to expand our asset lifecycle management ("ALM") business, we acquired 100% of RSR Partners, LLC (doing business as Regency Technologies), an IT asset disposition services provider with operations throughout the United States, for an initial purchase price of approximately $200.0 million, with $125.0 million paid at closing, funded by borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, and the remaining $75.0 million (the “January 2025 Payment”) to be paid in January 2025 (the "Regency Transaction"). The present value of the January 2025 Payment is included as a component of Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2024. The agreement for the Regency Transaction also includes a performance-based contingent consideration with a potential earnout range from zero to $200.0 million based upon achievement of certain three-year cumulative revenue targets, which would be payable in 2027, if earned (the “Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation”). The preliminary fair value estimate of the Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation as of the date of the acquisition is approximately $78.4 million. The present value of the Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation is included as a component of Other Long-term Liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2024. Subsequent increases or decreases in the fair value estimate of the Regency Deferred Purchase Obligation, as well as the accretion of the discount to present value, will be included as a component of Other (income) expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations until the deferred purchase obligation is settled or paid. Subsequent to the acquisition, the results of Regency Technologies are included as a component of Corporate and Other.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information is recorded, processed, accumulated, summarized, communicated and reported to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding what is required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act. As of March 31, 2024 (the "Evaluation Date"), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we implemented a new version of our Enterprise Resource Planning system in certain markets as a part of an ongoing system upgrade. We took the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during this upgrade. We also conducted evaluations prior to and after the implementation of the new system, and confirmed that our internal control over financial reporting remains effective.

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
