Analysis · XBP · Trade & Services
The second quarter painted a mixed picture for XBP Global: revenue fell 14% year-over-year to $191.3 million, yet profitability strengthened as adjusted gross margin hit a record 24.9% and Normalized EBITDA climbed 8.4% to $21.9 million. Management raised its annualized AI-driven efficiency target to $65-$75 million, up from $55-$60 million, with roughly $35 million of benefit expected in 2026.

Adding a potential catalyst, the company has engaged a financial advisor to explore strategic alternatives.
