The most interesting part of XBP’s 8k filing may not be the AI or EBITDA numbers.
Management says it has engaged a financial advisor regarding its previously announced “strategic alternatives.”
Put that alongside:
• Revenue down ~14%
• H1 operating cash flow negative $15.2M
• Only $18.6M cash
• $781M+ liabilities
• $46.5M equity
• ~$516M of goodwill + intangibles
XBP may be improving margins on a shrinking asset base while simultaneously positioning for another strategic transaction/restructuring.
Keep your eyes on the new shell WILCO 63 being run by Matt Brown and Chadha.

The balance sheet is the problem
The XBP filing looks much less impressive when you move past adjusted EBITDA.
As of June 30, XBP had just $18.6M of cash against $781.3M of liabilities and only $46.5M of shareholders’ equity.
Even more concerning: operating cash flow was negative $15.2M for H1 (first half 2026).
Management can talk about AI savings and margin expansion, but ultimately the question is: how much cash does the business actually generate after interest and everything else?

XBP’s Q2 headline is “record margins” and +8.4% adjusted EBITDA. But the underlying revenue picture tells a very different story.
Pro forma revenue fell 14% YoY, from $222.5M to $191.3M. H1 (first half 2026) revenue was down 14.1%.
So far, XBP appears to be improving profitability primarily by cutting costs while the underlying business continues to shrink.
That can produce better margins without producing a healthier company.
