The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE under the symbol "VATE".

The Company currently has three reportable segments, plus our Other segment, based on management’s organization of the enterprise: Infrastructure, Life Sciences, Spectrum, and Other which includes businesses that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and note disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain prior amounts have been reclassified or combined to conform to the current year presentation.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent periods or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions used.

Liquidity

At this time, we believe that we will be able to continue to meet our liquidity requirements and fund our fixed obligations (such as debt service and operating leases) and other cash needs for our operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements through a combination of available cash and distributions from our subsidiaries. The ability of INNOVATE’s subsidiaries to make distributions to INNOVATE is subject to numerous factors, including restrictions contained in each subsidiary’s financing agreements, availability of sufficient funds at each subsidiary and the approval of such payment by each subsidiary’s board of directors, which must consider various factors, including general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and condition, expansion plans, any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, and such other factors each subsidiary’s board of directors considers relevant. Although the Company believes, to the extent needed, that it will be able to raise additional debt or equity capital, refinance indebtedness or preferred stock, enter into other financing arrangements or engage in asset sales and sales of certain investments sufficient to fund any cash needs that we are not able to satisfy with the funds on hand or expected to be provided by our subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. Such financing options, if pursued, may also ultimately have the effect of negatively impacting our liquidity profile and prospects over the long-term and dilute holders of common stock. Our ability to sell assets and certain of our investments to meet our existing financing needs may also be limited by our existing financing instruments. In addition, the sale of assets or the Company’s investments may also make the Company less attractive to potential investors or future financing partners.

COVID-19

There are many uncertainties regarding the current coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, and the Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effectiveness of the vaccine programs, on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels and any potential prolonging or worsening of the pandemic due to COVID-19 variants. We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company's financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. However, as the pandemic continues, it may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

COVID-19 has continued to cause supply chain challenges related to labor shortages and supply chain disruptions, which may create significant delays in our ability to complete projects or deliver products. The receipt of material from impacted areas has been slowed or disrupted and our suppliers are expected to face similar challenges in fulfilling or placing orders, including jurisdictions such as Greater China which continue to have government-mandated lockdowns. In addition, reductions in the number of ocean carrier voyages, ocean freight capacity issues, congestion at major international gateways and other economic factors continue to persist worldwide due to COVID-19 and worldwide supply impacts as there is much greater demand for shipping and reduced capacity and equipment, which has resulted in recent price increases per shipping container. In addition, in the United States, trucking costs have risen dramatically due to driver shortages and increased labor costs, as well as new federal and state safety, environmental and labor regulations. These changes may disrupt our supply chain, which may result in a delay in the completion of our projects and cause us to incur significant additional costs. Although we may attempt to pass on certain of these increased costs to our customers, we may not be able to pass all of these cost increases on to our customers. As a result, our margins may be adversely impacted by such cost increases. These supply chain disruptions and transportation challenges could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted in 2023

Credit Loss Standard

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This new standard and its related amendments change the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade receivables and contract assets, from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model and adds certain new required disclosures. Under the expected loss model, entities will recognize estimated credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument rather than delaying recognition of credit losses until it is probable the loss has been incurred. The Company is required to adopt Topic 326 on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the application of the new standard and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Subsequent Events

ASC 855, Subsequent Events requires the Company to evaluate events that occur after the balance sheet date as of which the financial statements are issued, and to determine whether adjustments to or additional disclosures in the financial statements are necessary. See Note 25. Subsequent Events for any subsequent events.

DBMG's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include amounts related to contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned when a reasonable estimate of total transaction price can be made. DBMG expects to recognize this revenue within the next thirty-six months.

Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts.

10. Dispositions, Deconsolidations and Discontinued Operations

Sale of CIG

The sale of CIG closed on July 1, 2021 to Continental General Holdings LLC ("Continental"), an entity controlled by Michael Gorzynski, a former director of the Company who also serves as executive chairman of Continental since October 2020. Our previous segment incorporating CIG (the "Insurance segment"), which primarily consisted of a closed block of long-term care insurance, had a book value, inclusive of intercompany eliminations, at the time of the sale of $544.0 million, inclusive of $344.0 million of Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The carrying value of the Insurance segment at the time of sale excluded cash of $62.5 million and investments of $26.7 million which were distributed to the Company through an extraordinary dividend immediately prior to the sale. The extraordinary dividend was approved by our domestic regulator in connection with the approval of the sale. The amount included in AOCI was reversed from equity at the time of the sale and offset the loss recognized.

While several factors impacted the fair value of the Insurance segment at the end of 2019, following discussions with our domestic regulator, changes in the asset management fee arrangement and expectations of future dividends primarily and ultimately resulted in the full impairment of the goodwill associated with the Insurance segment during the year ended December 31, 2019. While these factors did not have a major impact on the operations of the stand-alone business, they did have a significant impact on the economic benefit that could be realized by the Company.

As a result of the factors described above, combined with the risks associated with the long-term care insurance industry, the Company exited the Insurance segment and sold the business resulting in a $200.8 million loss on the sale of CIG in the third quarter of 2021.

On September 3, 2022, INNOVATE and Continental entered into a tax cooperation agreement permitting Continental General Insurance Company ("CGIC") to consolidate into INNOVATE's 2021 U.S. tax return for the six-month period INNOVATE owned CGIC, allowing CGIC to shield some of its income tax liability by utilizing a portion of INNOVATE's Net Operating Losses ("NOLs") while also converting a portion of INNOVATE's IRC Sec. 163(j) carryforward assets into NOLs. See Note 16. Income Taxes for additional information regarding income tax attributes.

The net tax savings of $2.9 million on CGIC's income tax liability was split between CGIC and INNOVATE in accordance with the tax sharing agreement, which was executed on October 11, 2022. INNOVATE recognized a current income tax benefit of $2.9 million in the current period and expects to receive $1.2 million as a result of the tax sharing agreement during the fourth quarter of 2022. As CGIC is no longer a subsidiary of INNOVATE, the $1.7 million tax benefit to be received by CGIC tax share is treated as a deemed contribution, and INNOVATE recognizes an additional $1.7 million loss related to the previous sale of the subsidiary, through continuing operations.

Infrastructure

In May 2021, DBMG repaid its LIBOR plus 1.50% revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Line") under the Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank and its term loan due 2023 (the "TCW Loan") under a financing agreement with TCW Asset Management Company LLC. In addition, DBMG entered into a new credit facility with UMB Bank ("UMB"). Under the terms of the agreement, UMB agreed to a $110.0 million term loan ("UMB Term Loan") and $110.0 million revolving credit agreement ("UMB Revolving Line"). The UMB Term loan expires in 2026 and will bear interest at a rate of 3.25% with an effective interest rate of 3.25%. The UMB Revolving Line expires in 2024 and bears interest at a rate of Prime Rate minus 0.85%. The proceeds were used to fully repay DBMG's existing debt obligations, fund a portion of the Banker Steel acquisition, and provide additional working capital capacity to DBMG.

The 2021 extinguishment of the Revolving Line and the TCW Loan yielded a loss on extinguishment of $1.6 million included in Loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The UMB Revolving Line associated with our Infrastructure segment contains customary restrictive and financial covenants related to debt levels and performance, including a Fixed Coverage Ratio covenant, as defined in the agreement. On August 2, 2022, DBMG negotiated and finalized an amendment to its UMB Revolving Line which included a retrospective change to the terms of the Fixed Coverage Ratio, and an increase in the UMB Revolving Line commitment from $110.0 million to $135.0 million, among other things.

The remaining $42.5 million, 10.50% tranche (the “10.50% Note”) was a modification of the existing Secured Note, with certain institutional investors. The 2020 Notes had an original maturity date of October 2020, and were amended multiple times during 2020 as further described below. The net proceeds from the financing were used to retire Broadcasting’s existing debt, as well as fund acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection with the issuance of the 10.50% Note due 2020, Spectrum issued warrants to the same institutional investors to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $176.4 per share for a total purchase price of $8.8 million, or net settled, if exercised as of the issuance date, and as may be adjusted at any future exercise of the warrant pursuant to its terms. The warrant has a five-year term and is immediately exercisable.

In February 2020, Spectrum amended its agreement governing its 8.50% Note funded by MSD Partners, L.P., increasing the principal balance to $39.3 million. The proceeds were used to repay principal and interest on existing debt. In August 2020, Spectrum modified its agreement with MSD Partners, L.P. and Great American Life Insurance Company to extend the maturity on its 8.50% Note and 10.50% Note to October 2021. In September 2020, Spectrum further amended its agreement governing its 8.50% Note, increasing the principal balance by $4.0 million to $43.3 million. The proceeds were used to repay principal and interest on existing debt and for general business purposes. In November 2020, Spectrum paid down $2.9 million of its 8.50% Note and $3.0 million on other various notes. In December 2020, Spectrum paid down $21.0 million and $9.6 million of its 8.50% Note and 10.50% Note, respectively from the proceeds from the sale of stations. On August 30, 2021, Broadcasting repurchased $1.0 million of DTV's outstanding notes payable, inclusive of accrued interest, to certain institutional investors. Also on August 30, 2021, DTV extended its remaining outstanding notes by 60 days.

On October 21, 2021, Broadcasting entered into the Fifth Omnibus Amendment to Secured Notes, Consent and Second Amendment to Asset Sale Under Secured Notes and Intercreditor Agreement (the “Amendment”), which, among other things, extended $52.2 million of its Senior Secured Notes, due October 21, 2021, through November 30, 2022.

2026 Senior Secured Notes

On February 1, 2021, INNOVATE repaid its 2021 Senior Secured Notes and issued $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.50% senior secured notes due 2026 (the "2026 Senior Secured Notes"). The 2026 Senior Secured Notes were issued under an indenture dated February 1, 2021, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association ("U.S. Bank"), as trustee (the "Secured Indenture"). In addition, the Company entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of approximately $51.8 million aggregate principal amount of its existing $55.0 million 7.50% convertible senior notes due 2022 (the "2022 Convertible Notes"), pursuant to which the Company exchanged such holders' 2022 Convertible Notes for newly issued 7.50% convertible notes due 2026 (the "2026 Convertible Notes"). The 2026 Senior Secured Notes were issued in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company accounted for the transactions under the debt extinguishment model as the present value of cash flows under the terms of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes was at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the 2021 Senior Secured Notes and the 2022 Convertible Notes. The extinguishment of the 2021 Senior Secured Notes yielded a loss on extinguishment of $4.5 million. The extinguishment of the $51.8 million of 2022 Convertible Notes yielded a loss on extinguishment of $5.5 million, an acceleration of the amortization of discount of $5.3 million, and extinguishment of the bifurcated conversion option classified as equity of $7.7 million.

The 2026 Senior Secured Notes were issued at 100% of par, with a stated interest rate of 8.50% and an effective interest rate of 9.26%, which reflects $2.7 million of deferred financing fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, interest expense recognized for the period relating to both the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the deferred financing fees was $22.6 million and $19.7 million, respectively.

2026 Convertible Notes

As of September 30, 2022, the 2026 Convertible Notes had a net carrying value of $59.8 million and an unamortized premium of $8.8 million. Based on the closing price of our common stock of $0.70 on September 30, 2022, the if-converted value of the 2026 Convertible Notes did not exceed its principal value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, interest expense recognized for the period relating to both the contractual interest coupon and amortization of discount net of premium was $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

2022 Convertible Notes

Line of Credit

On February 23, 2021, the Company entered into a third amendment (the "Amendment") of the 6.75% line of credit with MSD PCOF Partners IX, LLC ("Revolving Credit Agreement"). Among other things, the Amendment (i) increases the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Agreement to $20.0 million, (ii) extends the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Amendment to February 23, 2024, (iii) updates the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the Amended Credit Agreement so that they are substantially consistent with the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the indenture that governs the 2026 Senior Secured Notes and (iv) reduces the interest rate margin applicable to loans borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement to 5.75% from the 6.75% described above. Except as modified by the Amendment, the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement remain in effect. In May 2021, INNOVATE drew $5.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement. In July 2022, the Company drew an additional $15.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

16. Income Taxes

The Company used the Annual Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") approach of ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting, to calculate its 2022 interim tax provision.

Income tax benefit was $2.0 million and an expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022 relates to the net tax savings of $2.9 million from the CGIC consolidation in the 2021 tax return, resulting in a partial release of the valuation allowance. See Note 10. Dispositions, Deconsolidations and Discontinued Operations for information regarding the transaction. This was partially offset by income tax expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily related to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized.

Income tax expense was $1.6 million and $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized. This was partially offset by the net tax savings of $2.9 million from the CGIC consolidation in the 2021 tax return, resulting in a partial release of the valuation allowance. The income tax expense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized.

Net Operating Losses

At December 31, 2021, the Company had gross U.S. net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income in the amount of $239.6 million, of which a portion is subject to annual limitation under IRC Sec. 382. This includes $75.1 million of additional U.S. net operating loss carryforwards resulting from the CGIC consolidation in the 2021 tax return. See Note 10. Dispositions, Deconsolidations and Discontinued Operations for information regarding the transaction. Based on estimates as of September 30, 2022, the Company expects that approximately $170.9 million of the gross U.S. net operating loss carryforwards would be available to offset taxable income in 2022. This estimate may change based on changes to actual results reported on the 2021 U.S. tax return. The amount of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards reflected in the financial statements differs from the amounts reported on the U.S. tax return due to uncertain tax positions related to tax laws and regulations that are subject to varied interpretation by the IRS.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had $103.9 million of gross U.S. net operating loss carryforwards from its subsidiaries that do not qualify to be included in the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return, including $66.1 million from R2, $33.5 million from DTV America, and other entities of $4.3 million.

The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as regulatory taxes.

The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021 related to uncertain tax positions that would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. The Company has reduced the net operating loss carryforward by $58.7 million for uncertain tax positions based on our interpretation of tax laws and regulations that are subject to varied interpretation by the IRS.

Examinations

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits there is a risk that disputes may arise. Tax years 2002 - 2020 remain open for examination.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Any legal or other expenses associated with the litigation are accrued for as the expenses are incurred.

Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances with counsel in each of the matters disclosed, management has provided for what is believed to be a reasonable estimate of loss exposure. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate outcome of litigation will not have a material effect on its financial position and will defend itself vigorously.

VAT assessment

On February 20, 2017, and on August 15, 2017, the Company's subsidiary, PTGi International Carrier Services Ltd. (“PTGi-ICS Ltd”), received notices from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs office in the U.K. ("HMRC") indicating that it was required to pay certain Value-Added Taxes ("VAT") for the 2015 and 2016 tax years. On February 15, 2022, the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery) Chamber (the "Tax Tribunal") found in favor of PTGi-ICS Ltd. HMRC has acknowledged that it will not appeal the Tax Tribunal’s decision and it must pay reasonable legal fees incurred by PTGi-ICS Ltd. On August 1, 2022 ICS received £1.1 million ($1.3 million) from HMRC for the VAT refunds previously withheld. ICS is waiting on the repayment of the outstanding interest and costs. The Company is working with HMRC agents to obtain full resolution.

Fair Value Investments Litigation

On October 1, 2020, Fair Value Investments Incorporated (“FVI”) filed a putative stockholder class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Court") against INNOVATE Corp. and certain of DBMG’s current and former officers and directors, including current and former INNOVATE officers and directors AJ Stahl, Kenneth S. Courtis, Robert V. Leffler, Jr., Philip A. Falcone, Michael J. Sena, and Paul Voigt (together with INNOVATE, the “INNOVATE Defendants”) styled Fair Value Investments Incorporated v. Roach, et al., C.A. No. 2020-0847-JTL (Del. Ch.) (the “FVI Action”). In the FVI Action, FVI alleges that the Company, in its capacity as DBMG’s controlling stockholder, and DBMG’s current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to DBMG and DBMG’s minority stockholders by approving certain transactions that allegedly provide disproportionate benefits to the Company. FVI challenges the following transactions: (i) DBMG’s payments to the Company from 2016–present pursuant to a Tax Sharing Agreement between DBMG and the Company; (ii) DBMG acting as a guarantor or providing collateral for loans taken on by the Company; (iii) DBMG’s issuance of dividends to its common and preferred stockholders in 2017–2020; (iv) DBMG’s issuance of preferred stock to the Company to finance DBMG’s 2018 acquisition of GrayWolf Industrial; and (v) the Company’s appointment of directors to DBMG’s board of directors by written consent in lieu of holding an annual stockholder meeting.

On February 23, 2021, FVI filed an Amended Verified Stockholder Class Action Complaint (the "Amended Complaint"). In the Amended Complaint, FVI named two additional defendants: the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Wayne Barr, and DBMG’s General Counsel, Scott D. Sherman. The Amended Complaint includes additional fact allegations in support of the largely similar claims raised in the original complaint. Defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint on April 23, 2021. The Court heard argument on the motions to dismiss on January 21, 2022. Ruling from the bench, the Court granted Defendants’ motions to dismiss, in part. The Court dismissed all claims against all individual defendants other than Ronald Yagoda, including all claims against Messrs. Barr, Stahl, Courtis, Leffler, Falcone, Sena, and Voigt. As to the two remaining defendants - INNOVATE Corp. and Yagoda - the Court dismissed all claims regarding: (i) DBMG acting as a guarantor or providing collateral for loans by the Company; (ii) DBMG’s issuance of dividends to its common and preferred stockholders in 2017–2020; (iii) the Company’s appointment of directors to DBMG’s board of directors by written consent in lieu of holding an annual stockholder meeting; and (iv) DBMG’s payments to the Company in 2016 and May 2017 pursuant to a Tax Sharing Agreement between DBMG and the Company. The Company believes the surviving claims in the FVI Amended Complaint relating to (i) DBMG’s payments to the Company after May 2017 pursuant to a Tax Sharing Agreement between DBMG and the Company and (ii) DBMG’s issuance of preferred stock to the Company to finance DBMG’s 2018 acquisition of GrayWolf Industrial are without merit. Discovery on the two remaining claims is underway and, if necessary, trial in this action is expected to occur in the second half of 2023. The Company intends to vigorously defend this litigation.

DTV Derivative Litigation

On March 15, 2021, twenty-two DTV stockholders and eight holders of DTV stock options filed a stockholder class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery in an action styled Bocock, et al., v. HC2 Holdings, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 2021-0224 (Del. Ch.). Plaintiffs named as defendants INNOVATE Corp. (f/k/a HC2 Holdings, Inc.), HC2 Broadcasting Holdings, Inc., HC2 Broadcasting Inc., and Continental General Insurance Corporation (the “INNOVATE Entities”) and certain current and former officers and directors of the INNOVATE Entities and DTV, including Philip Falcone, Michael Sena, Wayne Barr, Jr., Les Levi, Paul Voigt, Ivan Minkov, and Paul Robinson (the “Individual Defendants”). Plaintiffs principally allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and/or aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty by participating in a “scheme” in which the INNOVATE Entities (i) acquired majority voting and operating control over DTV; (ii) exploited that control to misappropriate DTV’s assets and business opportunities for the benefit of the INNOVATE Entities; and (iii) purchased DTV stock at a discount to fair value and diminished the value of DTV stock options. Plaintiffs allege that the Individual Defendants (i) “prompted” the INNOVATE Entities to purchase more than 100 low-power television (“LPTV”) broadcast stations originally identified for potential acquisition by DTV, (ii) allowed the INNOVATE Entities to misappropriate DTV technology, known as “DTV Cast,” (iii) caused DTV to transfer unspecified LPTV broadcasting station licenses to INNOVATE affiliates “without paying any value,” and (iv) transferred to the INNOVATE Entities unspecified DTV broadcasting stations that had been “repacked” by the FCC. Defendants moved to dismiss the Complaint on May 19, 2021. On June 23, 2021, plaintiffs amended their complaint. In the amended complaint, plaintiffs assert the same claims they asserted in their initial complaint, added a claim for waste associated with DTV’s purported transfer of licenses and construction permits for less than fair value, and dropped Paul Robinson as a defendant. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety on August 25, 2021, and the parties completed briefing on the motions to dismiss on November 10, 2021. The Court heard argument on the motions to dismiss on March 29, 2022. On June 28, 2022, the Court requested that the parties submit supplemental briefing on the motions to dismiss by July 20, 2022. The parties completed the supplemental briefing on July 20, 2022.

On October 28, 2022, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion on Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Complaint. First, the Court dismissed all claims against Continental General Insurance Corporation for lack of personal jurisdiction. Second, the Court dismissed all claims the stockholder plaintiffs purported to assert directly. Third, the Court dismissed as time-barred all claims challenging conduct that occurred before March 15, 2018, including claims challenging (i) the November 2017 acquisition of Azteca America by INNOVATE; (ii) INNOVATE’s purported usurpation of the so-called “DTV Cast” technology; and (iii) the WFWC-CD Station acquisition. Fourth, the Court dismissed claims associated with the INNOVATE Entities’ purported purchases of unidentified broadcasting stations. Fifth, the Court dismissed all claims challenging the Expense Sharing Agreement, and the Right to Use Agreement between INNOVATE and DTV, and certain Stock-Based Compensation Agreements. Sixth, the Court dismissed the aiding and abetting claim against the INNOVATE Entities. Seventh, the Court dismissed the civil conspiracy claim as to all defendants. Lastly, the Court dismissed the option-holders’ claim for tortious interference with prospective business opportunities. Thus, after the Court issued its October 28, 2022 Memorandum Opinion, the only claims to survive Defendants’ motion to dismiss are (i) a derivative claim against the INNOVATE Entities (other than Continental General), Levi, and Falcone for breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the $0.1 million Frank Digital acquisition; (ii) a derivative claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the INNOVATE Entities (other than Continental General), in their capacities as DTV’s controlling stockholders, relating to the sale of six licenses (for less than $0.5 million) in connection with the Gray Media sale; (iii) a derivative claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the INNOVATE Entities (other than Continental General) and Levi in connection with the transfer of licenses ultimately sold to TV-49 for $0.1 million; and (iv) a derivative claim for waste against Levi and Falcone in connection with the sale of two stations to Lowcountry, which Lowcountry later sold for $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The Company believes these remaining claims are without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously defend this litigation.

Insurance Company Books and Records Demand

On July 28, 2021, the Company received a demand from a company stockholder pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 to inspect books and records of the Company relating to, among other things, the Company’s sale of its Insurance segment. The Company has responded to the demand and cannot determine at this time if the books and records demand will lead to litigation.

INNOVATE Books and Records Demand

On June 6, 2022, the Company received a demand from a Company stockholder pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 to inspect books and records of the Company relating to, among other things, the Company’s lease agreement for a special purpose space in Palm Beach, Florida; the request by certain Company stockholders for a waiver of the share purchase limitations in the Company’s Tax Benefits Preservation Plan; and the receipt of a letter by the Audit Committee of the Board on May 18, 2022 from Michael Gorzynski, on behalf of MG Capital Management, Ltd. The Company has responded to the demand and cannot determine at this time if the books and records demand will lead to litigation.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

As of September 30, 2022, DBMG had outstanding letters of credit of $2.6 million under credit and security agreements and performance bonds of $1,057.8 million. As of December 31, 2021, DBM had outstanding letters of credit of $13.5 million under credit and security agreements and performance bonds of $900.8 million. DBMG’s contract arrangements with customers sometimes require DBMG to provide performance bonds to partially secure its obligations under its contracts. Bonding requirements typically arise in connection with private contracts and sometimes with respect to certain public work projects. DBMG’s performance bonds are obtained through surety companies and typically cover the entire project price.

HMN Equity Interest

On October 30, 2019, the Company announced the sale of its New Saxon 2019 Limited (“New Saxon”) stake in HMN, its 49% joint venture with Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., to Hengtong Optic-Electric Co Ltd ("Hengtong"). Under the terms of the agreement, the sale of New Saxon’s 49% interest in HMN will be affected in two tranches. The first tranche, the sale of the portion of New Saxon’s 30% interest of HMN, closed on May 12, 2020 (the "First HMN Close"). The remaining 19% interest of HMN is retained by New Saxon and subject to a put option agreement by New Saxon, exercisable starting on the second year anniversary of the closing date of the First HMN Close at a price equal to the greater of the share price paid for the 30% interest or fair market value as of the exercisable date.

On June 24, 2022, New Saxon entered into a supplemental agreement for the outright sale of its remaining 19% interest in HMN, which also changed the buyers from a Hong Kong entity to three Chinese entities. There is no guarantee that the transaction will be consummated in the anticipated timeframe, on the contemplated terms or at all. The new agreement preserves the rights under the original put option agreement and the Company has the ability to exercise the put option after October 31, 2022. The significant terms and structure of the transaction have not otherwise changed, and the transaction still requires cash settlement.

18. Share-based Compensation

Total share-based compensation expense recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries under all equity compensation arrangements was $0.4 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and was $1.7 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

All grants are time based and vest either immediately or over a period established at grant, typically with a requisite service period of two to three years for the employee to vest in the stock-based award, subject to discretion by Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Preferred Share Activity

Series A-3 and A-4 Share Issuance and Conversion

On July 1, 2021 (the "Exchange Date") as a part of the sale of CIG, INNOVATE entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the now deconsolidated CGIC, who held the remaining shares of the Series A and Series A-2 Preferred Stock and was eliminated in consolidation prior to the sale of the Insurance segment on July 1, 2021. Per the Exchange Agreement, INNOVATE exchanged 6,125 shares of the Series A and 10,000 shares of the Series A-2 shares that CGIC held for an equivalent number of Series A-3 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A-3") and Series A-4 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A-4"), respectively. The terms remained substantially the same, except that the Series A-3 and Series A-4 will mature on July 1, 2026. A cash payment of $0.3 million was made as a part of the exchange for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A and Series A-2 being exchanged.

Upon issuance of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on July 1, 2021, the Series A-3 and Series A-4 have been classified as temporary equity in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet with a combined redemption value of $16.1 million with a current fair value as of September 30, 2022 of $17.9 million.

Dividends. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock accrue a cumulative quarterly cash dividend at an annualized rate of 7.50%. The accrued values of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock accrete quarterly at an annualized rate of 4.00% that is reduced to 2.00% or 0.0% if the Company achieves specified rates of growth measured by increases in its net asset value; provided, that the accreting dividend rate will be 7.25% in the event that (A) the daily volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock is less than a certain threshold amount, (B) the Company's common stock is not registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (C) the Company's common stock is not listed on certain national securities exchanges or the Company is delinquent in the payment of any cash dividends. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock is also entitled to participate in cash and in-kind distributions to holders of shares of Company's common stock on an as-converted basis.

Subsequent Measurement. The Company has elected to account for the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock by immediately recognizing changes in the redemption value as they occur. The carrying value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock will be adjusted to equal what the redemption amount would be as if the redemption were to occur at the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock. Any cash dividends paid will directly reduce the carrying value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock until the carrying value equals the redemption value. The Company has a history of paying dividends on its preferred stock and expects to continue to pay such dividends each quarter.

Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 may be converted by the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at any time based on the then-applicable Conversion Price. Each share of Series A-3 is initially convertible at a conversion price of $4.25 (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the "Series A-3 Conversion Price"), and each share of Series A-4 is initially convertible at a conversion price of $8.25 (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the "Series A-4 Conversion Price") (“collectively the “Conversion Prices”). The Conversion Prices are subject to adjustment for dividends, certain distributions, stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers, recapitalizations and similar events, as well as in connection with issuances of equity or equity-linked or other comparable securities by the Company at a price per share (or with a conversion or exercise price or effective issue price) that is below the Conversion Prices’ (which adjustment shall be made on a weighted average basis). Actual conversion prices at the time of the exchange were $3.52 for the Series A and $5.33 for the Series A-2.

Redemption by the Holder / Automatic Conversion. On July 1, 2026, holders of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem the Series A-3 and Series A-4 at the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4). Each share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 that is not so redeemed will be automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock at the Conversion Price then in effect.

Upon a change of control (as defined in each Certificate of Designation) holders of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem their shares of Series A-3 and Series A-4 at a price per share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 equal to the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock), and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 were converted into shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the change of control.

Redemption by the Company / "Company Call Option". At any time after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, May 29, 2014, the Company may redeem the Series A-3/Series A-4, in whole but not in part, at a price per share generally equal to 150% of the accrued value per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of the Series A-3/Series A-4), subject to the holder's right to convert prior to such redemption.

Forced Conversion. The Company may force conversion of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 into shares of the Company's common stock if the common stock's thirty-day VWAP exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price and the Common Stock’s daily VWAP exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for at least twenty trading days out of the thirty trading day period used to calculate the thirty-day VWAP. In the event of a forced conversion, the holders of Series A-3 and Series A-4 will have the ability to elect cash settlement in lieu of conversion if certain market liquidity thresholds for the Company's common stock are not achieved.

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (any such event, a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series A-3 and Series A-4 will be entitled to receive per share the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4), and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Series A-4 and Series A-4 were converted into shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to such occurrence. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 will rank junior to any existing or future indebtedness but senior to the Company's common stock and any future equity securities other than any future senior or pari passu preferred stock issued in compliance with each Certificate of Designation. The Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock rank at parity.

Voting Rights. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of the shares of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis), as applicable, and the holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company's common stock with the holders of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on certain matters, and separately as a class on certain limited matters.

Consent Rights. For so long as any of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 is outstanding, consent of the holders of shares representing at least 75% of certain of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 then outstanding is required for certain material actions.

Participation Rights. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements entered into with the initial purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, subject to meeting certain ownership thresholds, certain purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock are entitled to participate, on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their ownership percentage, determined on an as-converted basis, in issuances of equity and equity linked securities by the Company. In addition, subject to meeting certain ownership thresholds, certain initial purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock will be entitled to participate in issuances of preferred securities and in debt transactions of the Company.

As of September 30, 2022, Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock were convertible into 1,740,700 and 1,875,533 shares, respectively, of INNOVATE's common stock.

Preferred Share Dividends

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, INNOVATE's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared cash dividends with respect to INNOVATE’s issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, excluding the Series A and Series A-2 Preferred Stock which was owned by CGIC and was eliminated in consolidation prior to the sale of the Insurance segment on July 1, 2021, as presented in the following table (in millions):

DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock Issuance

On November 30, 2018, CGIC purchased 40,000 shares of DBMGi's Series A Preferred Stock, which was eliminated in consolidation. On July 1, 2021, as a part of the sale of CIG which resulted in the deconsolidation of the entity, INNOVATE was deemed to have issued $40.9 million of DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock to the now deconsolidated CGIC. Upon issuance of the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock on July 1, 2021, the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as temporary equity in the Company's Balance Sheet.

Redemption Option. The DBMGi Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, or at any time or by the holder prior to July 2026.

Dividends. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock will accrue a cumulative quarterly cash or payment in kind dividend at a rate of (a) for the first five years following the date of issuance, (i) 9.00% per annum if dividends are paid in kind or (ii) 8.25% per annum if dividends are paid in cash and (b) starting on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) plus a spread of 5.85% (together, the “LIBOR Rate”) per annum, plus 0.75% if dividends are paid in kind or (ii) the LIBOR Rate per annum in the case of dividends paid in cash. Subsequent to the transition away from LIBOR beginning in 2023, the Certificate of Designation allows for a LIBOR Successor Rate, which allows the Company to reasonably determine an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmarks (if any) incorporated therein) giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks.

Subsequent Measurement. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock will be subsequently measured each reporting period at its maximum redemption value, which is equal to the stated value plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends as of the end of each reporting period as they are currently redeemable. The Company pays accrued dividends quarterly in cash (with an option to PIK), and the Company does not expect to make any subsequent measurement adjustments recorded to the initial carrying amount. As such no accretion will be recognized until future dividend payments would otherwise reduce the carrying value below its redemption value. In such a case, the Company will adjust the carrying value to its maximum redemption amount.

During the nine months ending September 30, 2022 and 2021, DBMGi's Board of Directors declared dividends with respect to DBMGi’s issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, as presented in the following table (in millions):

22. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using the two-class method, which allocates earnings among common stock and participating securities to calculate EPS when an entity's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities. As such, shares of any unvested restricted stock of the Company are considered participating securities. The dilutive effect of options and their equivalents (including non-vested stock issued under stock-based compensation plans), is computed using the "if-converted method" as this measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period.

The Company had no dilutive common share equivalents during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 due to results from continuing operations being a loss, net of tax. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations (in millions, except per share amounts):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated annual audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2022 (the "2021 Annual Report") and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the "Risk Factors" section in our 2021 Annual Report as well as the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "INNOVATE" means INNOVATE Corp. and the "Company," "we" and "our" mean INNOVATE together with its consolidated subsidiaries. "U.S. GAAP" means accounting principles accepted in the United States of America.

Our Business

We are a diversified holding company with principal operations conducted through three operating platforms or reportable segments: Infrastructure ("DBMG"), Life Sciences ("Pansend"), and Spectrum ("Broadcasting"), plus our Other segment, which includes businesses that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

Our Operations

Refer to Note 1. Organization and Business to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Cyclical Patterns

Our segments' operations can be highly cyclical. Our volume of business in our Infrastructure segment may be adversely affected by declines or delays in projects, which may vary by geographic region. Project schedules, particularly in connection with large, complex, and longer-term projects can also create fluctuations in the services provided, which may adversely affect us in a given period.

For example, in connection with larger, more complicated projects, the timing of obtaining permits and other approvals may be delayed, and we may need to maintain a portion of our workforce and equipment in an underutilized capacity to ensure we are strategically positioned to deliver on such projects when they move forward.

Examples of other items that may cause our results or demand for our services to fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter include: weather or project site conditions; financial condition of our customers and their access to capital; margins of projects performed during any particular period; rising interest rates and inflation; and economic, political and market conditions on a regional, national or global scale.

Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Impact on our Business

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared the pandemic to be a national emergency. As COVID-19 spread throughout the country, the situation has continued to evolve, including the adoption of the COVID-19 vaccine and the reopening of state economies.

The Company’s top priority has been to protect its employees and their families and those of the Company’s customers. The Company continues to take precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and local governments, where applicable, including changing operational procedures, providing additional protective gear and cleaning to protect personnel and customers who request it, which has resulted and may continue to result in disruptions to and increased costs of the Company’s operations. We may take further action as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Work-from-home and other measures introduce additional operational risks, including cybersecurity risks, and have changed the way we conduct some of our operations. After the vaccine rollout commenced, most employees have begun to return to the office or worksites, either full-time or part-time. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, including any new strains of the virus, and illness and workforce disruptions could lead to unavailability of key personnel and harm our ability to perform critical functions.

The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the outbreak of any new strains of the coronavirus, any related travel advisories and restrictions, lockdowns and quarantine measures enacted by foreign governments, such as China, and its impact to the U.S. and global financial markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Preventing the effects from and responding to this market disruption if any other public health threat, related or otherwise, may further increase costs of our business and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

COVID-19 has caused supply chain challenges related to labor shortages and supply chain disruptions, which may create significant delays in our ability to complete projects or deliver products. The receipt of material from impacted areas has been slowed or disrupted and our suppliers have experienced similar challenges in fulfilling orders due to unavailability of certain materials used in manufacturing. In addition, reductions in the number of ocean carrier voyages, ocean freight capacity issues, congestion at major international gateways and other economic factors continue to persist worldwide due to COVID-19 and worldwide supply impacts as there is much greater demand for shipping and reduced capacity and equipment, which has resulted in price increases per shipping container. In addition, in the United States, trucking costs have continued to rise due to driver shortages and increased labor costs, and new federal and state safety, environmental and labor regulations could be implemented. These changes may disrupt our supply chain, which may result in a delay in the completion of our projects or manufacturing of our products and may cause us to incur significant additional costs. Although we may attempt to pass on certain of these increased costs to our customers, we may not be able to pass all of these cost increases on to our customers. As a result, our margins may be adversely impacted by such cost increases. These supply chain disruptions and transportation challenges could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We continue to monitor the evolving situation and guidance from authorities, including federal, state and local public health departments, and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plans. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the continued impact of COVID-19 on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows in the future, but it could have a material adverse impact on our future revenue growth as well as our overall profitability and may lead to revised payment terms with certain of our customers.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the effects of COVID-19 and the related actions undertaken in the U.S. to attempt to control its spread, specifically impacted certain of our segments as follows:

Infrastructure

DBMG was not materially impacted by COVID-19 and did not incur any COVID-19 related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. DBMG continues to perform work on jobs contracted during the last twelve to twenty-four months that had lower point of sale margins to maintain shop capacity and utilization but continues to see an increase in point of sale margins on newer contracted work.

Life Sciences

R2 Technologies' supplier has encountered difficulties obtaining certain materials to manufacture its Glacial Spa and Glacial Rx devices due to supply chain constraints and has experienced longer lead times purchasing materials and obtaining inventory. Additionally, international sales in Greater China have been impacted as a result of government-mandated lockdowns in certain cities, which has resulted in delays in purchase orders by our partners in China.

Spectrum

Spectrum was not materially impacted by COVID-19 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Network Business

The Network business, which is owned by our Spectrum segment, has continued to be impacted by decreasing advertising revenues as a result of a decreased footprint, declining ratings, and increased operating costs. As such, the Company plans to wind down Network in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Financial Presentation Background

In the below section within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we compare, pursuant to U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure rules, the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Revenue: Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $28.2 million to $423.0 million from $394.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the Infrastructure segment, which had increased market demand along with larger projects entering the market.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $417.6 million to $1,228.0 million from $810.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the Infrastructure segment, which acquired Banker Steel on May 27, 2021, and also had increased market demand along with larger projects entering the market.

Income (loss) from operations: Income from operations for three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $5.5 million to $6.6 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in income from operations was primarily attributable to the Infrastructure segment due to an increase at Banker Steel and increased profit at the fabrication and erection business from larger jobs with increased profits in the current year. The increase in income from operations was partially offset by the Non-operating Corporate segment as a result of a severance accrual in the current period related to the Company's former Chief Legal Officer.

Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $24.4 million to income of $6.9 million from a loss of $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in income from operations was primarily attributable to the Infrastructure segment as a result of the contribution from Banker Steel, which was acquired on May 27, 2021 and increases at DBMG's commercial structural steel fabrication and erection business supported by timing of project work under execution and changes in backlog mix. The increase in income from operations was also attributable to the Non-operating Corporate segment, primarily as a result of decreases in legal, and proxy-related expenses. The increases in income from operations were partially offset by the Spectrum segment as a result of decreased advertising revenues at the Azteca network due to a decreased footprint and declines in paid programming, an increase in expenses at the Azteca network as a result of higher support fees and license royalty expense incurred under the program license agreement ("PLA"), which started in the first quarter of 2022, as well as a decrease in gains from FCC reimbursements.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.5 million to $13.3 million from $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by increased outstanding principal balances at Infrastructure over the comparable period.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $8.2 million to $38.4 million from $46.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to Non-Operating Corporate's refinancing of the 2021 Senior Secured Notes in the first quarter of 2021, which decreased the average cost of capital and the total principal outstanding, partially offset by an increase in interest expense at our Infrastructure segment, driven by increased outstanding principal balances.

Loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt: Loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt was $0.1 million and $12.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. There was no comparable expense in the current period. The expense in the comparable period was driven by the write-off of deferred financing costs and original issuance discount in connection with the refinancing of the 2021 Senior Secured Notes and the 2022 Convertible Notes in the first quarter of 2021, as well as the refinancing of Infrastructure debt in conjunction with the Banker Steel acquisition in the second quarter of 2021.

Loss from equity investees: Loss from equity investees for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $1.8 million to $1.1 million from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in loss from equity investees was driven primarily by the equity investment in HMN Technologies Co., Ltd. ("HMN"), as it produced higher income than in the comparable period, which is generally attributable to the timing of project work. This was partially offset by higher equity method losses recorded from our equity investment in MediBeacon, which had an increase in expenses as the investment commenced its US Pivotal Study of the Transdermal Glomerular Filtration Rate ("TGFR") in the second quarter of 2022 to study the viability of real-time, direct monitoring of kidney function.

Loss from equity investees for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $2.7 million to $2.1 million from $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the loss from equity investees was driven by the equity investment in HMN, as it produced higher income than in the comparable period, which is generally attributable to the timing of project work, as well as higher equity method income recorded from our investment in Triple Ring. This was partially offset by higher equity method losses recorded from our equity investment in MediBeacon, which had an increase in expenses as the investment commenced its US Pivotal Study of the TGFR in the second quarter of 2022 to study the viability of real-time, direct monitoring of kidney function.

Other (expense) income, net: Other (expense) income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $1.5 million to a loss of $0.9 million from income of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a tax sharing arrangement and consolidation on the 2021 tax return, resulting in a deemed distribution loss of $1.7 million related to a former subsidiary, CGIC. Refer to Note 10. Dispositions, Deconsolidations and Discontinued Operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. This was partially offset by a fair value adjustment in the current period for an investment at our Life Sciences segment, as well as an increase in foreign currency transaction gains from our Infrastructure segment.

Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $3.9 million to $0.5 million from $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a tax sharing arrangement and consolidation on the 2021 tax return, resulting in a deemed distribution loss of $1.7 million related to a former subsidiary, CGIC. Refer to Note 10. Dispositions, Deconsolidations and Discontinued Operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Additionally contributing to the decrease was the Non-operating Corporate segment, driven by the unrepeated gains on litigation settlement and embedded derivatives recorded in the comparable period, as well as the Infrastructure segment, driven by a litigation settlement paid in the current period. This was partially offset by a fair value adjustment in the current period for our investment at our Life Sciences segment, as well as an increase in foreign currency translation gains at the Infrastructure segment.

Income tax benefit (expense): Income tax benefit (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $2.1 million to a benefit of $2.0 million from an expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $2.2 million to $1.6 million from $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the net tax savings of $2.9 million from the CGIC consolidation in the 2021 tax return, resulting in a partial release of the valuation allowance. Refer to Note 10. Dispositions, Deconsolidations and Discontinued Operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. This was partially offset by income tax expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized.

Segment Results of Operations

In the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, other operating (income) loss includes: (i) (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets; (ii) lease termination costs; (iii) asset impairment expense; (iv) accretion of asset retirement obligations; and (v) FCC reimbursements. Each table summarizes the results of operations of our operating segments and compares the amount of the change between the periods presented (in millions).

The increase in loss was primarily due to higher equity method losses recorded from our equity investment in MediBeacon, which had an increase in expenses due to the commencement of its US Pivotal Study of the TGFR in the second quarter of 2022 to study the viability of real-time, direct monitoring of kidney function.

Loss from equity investees for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.3 million to $5.8 million from $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in loss was primarily due to higher equity method losses recorded from our equity investment in MediBeacon, which had an increase in expenses as the investment commenced its US Pivotal Study of the TGFR in the second quarter of 2022 to study the viability of real-time, direct monitoring of kidney function. This was partially offset by net higher equity method income recorded from our investment in Triple Ring.

Other: Income from equity investees within our Other segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.0 million to $1.4 million from a loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Income from equity investees for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.0 million to $3.7 million from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increases were driven by the equity investment in HMN, as it produced higher income than in the comparable period, which is generally attributable to the timing of project work.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement recognized under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which could limit its usefulness.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-U.S. GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our U.S. GAAP financial results. Using Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure has inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain items, including items that are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the results of operations and any consolidating eliminations of our previous Insurance segment.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) attributable to INNOVATE Corp., excluding discontinued operations; depreciation and amortization; Other operating (income) loss, which is inclusive of (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets, lease termination costs, asset impairment expense and FCC reimbursements; interest expense; other (income) expense, net; loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt; income tax expense (benefit); noncontrolling interest; share-based compensation expense; non-recurring items; costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; and acquisition and disposition costs.

Infrastructure: Net income from our Infrastructure segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.5 million to $10.4 million from $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Infrastructure segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.2 million to $27.6 million from $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA can be attributed to an increased contribution from the fabrication and erection business and Banker Steel. The increase was partially offset by increases in salaries and wages, travel costs, and professional fees, as well as lower contributions from the industrial maintenance and repair, and construction modeling and detailing businesses.

Life Sciences: Net loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.4 million to $5.5 million from $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.5 million to $7.6 million from $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven by a decrease in gross margin at R2 due to change in product mix and an increase in equity method losses recorded for Pansend's investment in MediBeacon.

Spectrum: Net loss from our Spectrum segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $2.7 million to $1.4 million from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Spectrum segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $1.5 million to $0.3 million from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The overall decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the decrease in advertising revenue at the Azteca network driven by a decreased footprint, declines in paid programming, as well as an increase in expenses at the Azteca network as a result of higher support fees and licensing royalty expense incurred under the PLA, which started in the first quarter of 2022, and an increase in station costs as a result of new station builds. This was partially offset by decrease in legal expenses, commissions and salaries and benefit expenses.

Non-operating Corporate: Net loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $1.6 million to $9.6 million from $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $1.2 million to $5.0 million from $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was driven by severance related to the Company's former Chief Legal Officer accrued in the current period, as well as increased legal expenses.

Other and Eliminations: Net income from our Other and Eliminations segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.0 million to $0.7 million from a loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Other segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.1 million to $1.1 million from a loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for our Other and Eliminations segment was primarily driven by the equity investment in HMN, as it produced higher income than in the comparable period, which is generally attributable to the timing of project work.

Infrastructure: Net income from our Infrastructure segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $15.0 million to $23.3 million from $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Infrastructure segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $19.4 million to $69.0 million from $49.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA can be attributed to the contribution of Banker Steel and increased contribution at the fabrication and erection business as a result of larger jobs with increased profits in the current year. The increase was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses due to the acquisition of Banker Steel, increases in salaries and wages, travel costs and professional fees, as well as lower contribution from the industrial maintenance and repair, and construction modeling and detailing businesses.

Life Sciences: Net loss from our Life Sciences segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $1.3 million to $14.9 million from $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $1.5 million to $20.9 million from $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven by the increase in equity method losses recorded for Pansend's investment in MediBeacon, a decrease in gross margin at R2 due to a change in product mix along with an increase in general and administrative expenses at R2 driven by a severance accrual in the current period, increased clinical expenses due to additional staffing needs and increased clinical studies, and other general staffing increases across the organization as the company continues commercialization, partially offset by a decrease in R&D. This was partially offset by an increase in equity method income recorded for Pansend's investment in Triple Ring.

Spectrum: Net loss from our Spectrum segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.9 million to $10.5 million from $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Spectrum segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $3.3 million to $2.0 million from $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The overall decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the decrease in revenue at the Azteca network driven by a decreased footprint and a decline in paid programming, as well as an increase in expenses at the Azteca network as a result of higher support fees and license royalty expense incurred under the PLA, which started in the first quarter of 2022, an increase in station costs as a result of new station builds. This was partially offset by unrepeated severance costs in the comparable period and decreased salary and benefit expenses, as well as higher station revenues as the station group launched new customers and grew the number of its operating stations.

Non-operating Corporate: Net loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $27.6 million to $30.4 million from $58.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $0.5 million to $13.0 million from $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was driven by a decrease in legal expenses, as well as the settlement expense for the Company's former CEO accrued in the prior period. This was partially offset by increased professional fees, additional severance expense in the current period related to the former Chief Legal Officer, and other compensation related items.

Other and Eliminations: Net income from our Other and Eliminations segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.3 million to $2.3 million from zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Other segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.1 million to $2.9 million from a loss of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for our Other and Eliminations segment was primarily driven by our equity investment in HMN, as it produced higher income than in the comparable period, which is generally attributable to the timing of project work.

Adjusted EBITDA by segment is summarized as follows:


(in millions):	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		Increase / (Decrease)		2022		2021		Increase / (Decrease)

Backlog

Projects in backlog consist of awarded contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed, change orders, and purchase orders obtained. Backlog increases as contract commitments are obtained, decreases as revenues are recognized and increases or decreases to reflect modifications in the work to be performed under the contracts. Backlog is converted to sales in future periods as work is performed or projects are completed. Backlog can be significantly affected by the receipt or loss of individual contracts.

Infrastructure Segment

As of September 30, 2022, DBMG's backlog was $1,916.5 million, consisting of $1,416.8 million under contracts or purchase orders and $499.7 million under letters of intent or notices to proceed. Approximately $953.0 million, representing 49.7% of DBMG’s backlog as of September 30, 2022, was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more of these projects terminate or reduce their scope, DBMG’s backlog could decrease substantially. DBMG includes an additional $13.4 million in its backlog that is not included in the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations disclosed in Note 3. Revenue and Contracts in Process. This additional backlog includes commitments under master service agreements that are estimated amounts of work to be performed based on customer communications, historic performance and knowledge of our customers' intentions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

Our Non-Operating Corporate segment consists of holding companies, and its liquidity needs are primarily for interest payments on its 2026 Senior Secured Notes, 2026 Convertible Notes and Revolving Credit Agreement, dividend payments on its Preferred Stock and recurring operational expenses.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $25.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, compared to $45.5 million as of December 31, 2021. On a stand-alone basis, as of September 30, 2022, the Non-Operating Corporate segment had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $5.1 million compared to $22.0 million at December 31, 2021.

Our subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of steel construction equipment, over-the-air ("OTA") broadcast station equipment, development of back-office systems, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $711.5 million of principal indebtedness on a consolidated basis compared to $630.8 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of $80.7 million, which was primarily due to a $77.3 million increase in DBMG's Line of Credit to fund working capital requirements, offset in part by recurring principal payments on outstanding debt and repayment of certain instruments.

On a stand-alone basis, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Non-Operating Corporate segment had indebtedness of $401.8 million and $390.0 million, respectively, an increase of $11.8 million, driven by an increase in the Revolving Credit Agreement of $15.0 million, partially offset by the $3.2 million repayment of the 2022 Convertible Note upon maturity. The Non-Operating Corporate segment's stand-alone indebtedness consists of the $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Senior Secured Notes, $51.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Convertible Notes, and $20.0 million aggregate principal amount drawn on its Revolving Credit Agreement. The Non-Operating Corporate segment is required to make semi-annual interest payments on its 2026 Senior Secured Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes and quarterly and monthly interest payments on its Revolving Credit Agreement.

INNOVATE received $5.0 million in tax sharing from its Infrastructure segment during the three months ended September 30, 2022. INNOVATE received $13.7 million and $7.6 million in dividends and tax sharing from its Infrastructure segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

INNOVATE is required to make dividend payments on its outstanding Preferred Stock on January 15th, April 15th, July 15th, and October 15th of each year.

We have financed our growth and operations to date, and expect to finance our future growth and operations, through public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities, credit facilities, vendor financing, capital lease financing and other financing arrangements, as well as cash generated from the operations of our subsidiaries. In the future, we may also choose to sell assets or certain investments to generate cash.

At this time, we believe that we will be able to continue to meet our liquidity requirements and fund our fixed obligations (such as debt service and operating leases) and other cash needs for our operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements through a combination of available cash and distributions from our subsidiaries. The ability of INNOVATE’s subsidiaries to make distributions to INNOVATE is subject to numerous factors, including restrictions contained in each subsidiary’s financing agreements, availability of sufficient funds at each subsidiary and the approval of such payment by each subsidiary’s board of directors, which must consider various factors, including general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and condition, expansion plans, any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, and such other factors each subsidiary’s board of directors considers relevant. Although the Company believes, to the extent needed, that it will be able to raise additional debt or equity capital, refinance indebtedness or preferred stock, enter into other financing arrangements or engage in asset sales and sales of certain investments sufficient to fund any cash needs that we are not able to satisfy with the funds on hand or expected to be provided by our subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. Such financing options, if pursued, may also ultimately have the effect of negatively impacting our liquidity profile and prospects over the long-term and dilute the holders of common stock. Our ability to sell assets and certain of our investments to meet our existing financing needs may also be limited by our existing financing instruments. In addition, the sale of assets or the Company’s investments may also make the Company less attractive to potential investors or future financing partners.

In September 2018, the Company entered into a 75-month lease for office space. As part of the agreement, INNOVATE was able to pay a lower security deposit and lease payments, and received favorable lease terms as consideration for landlord required cross default language in the event of default of the shared space leased by Harbinger Capital Partners, a company controlled by INNOVATE's former CEO and formerly a related party, in the same building. With the adoption of ASC 842, as of January 1, 2019, this lease was recognized as a right of use asset and lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

DBMG’s off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022 included letters of credit of $2.6 million under credit and security agreements and performance bonds of $1,057.8 million. DBMG’s contract arrangements with customers sometimes require DBMG to provide performance bonds to partially secure its obligations under its contracts. Bonding requirements typically arise in connection with private contracts and sometimes with respect to certain public work projects. DBMG’s performance bonds are obtained through surety companies and typically cover the entire project price.

COVID-19 Expenditures

We have historically seen significant cost increases, primarily at our Infrastructure segment, driven by expenses associated with maintaining a safe work environment and while executing on its projects. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $8.3 million of COVID-19 costs were incurred. Although the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on INNOVATE’s liquidity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, management believes the continuation of the pandemic and its related effect on the U.S. and global economies could introduce added pressure on the Company’s liquidity position and financial performance. Our sources of liquidity are primarily from the dividends and tax sharing agreement with DBMG, cash proceeds from completed and anticipated monetization’s and other arrangements.

The notes and the note guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

Collateral. The 2026 Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets (except for certain "Excluded Assets," and subject to certain "Permitted Liens," each as defined in the Secured Indenture), including, without limitation:

•all equity interests owned by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor (which, in the case of any equity interest in a foreign subsidiary, will be limited to 100% of the non-voting stock (if any) and 65% of the voting stock of such foreign subsidiary) and the related rights and privileges associated therewith (but excluding Equity Interests of Insurance Subsidiaries (as defined in the Secured Indenture), to the extent the pledge thereof is deemed a "change of control" under applicable insurance regulations);

Events of Default. The Secured Indenture contains customary events of default which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the 2026 Senior Secured Notes to become immediately due and payable.

2026 Convertible Notes Terms and Conditions

Maturity. The 2026 Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2026 unless earlier converted, redeemed or purchased.

Issue Price. The issue price of the 2026 Convertible Notes was 100% of par.

Ranking. The notes are the Company’s general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the notes. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Company’s 2026 Senior Secured Notes, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade credit.

Optional Redemption. The Company may not redeem the notes prior to August 1, 2023. On or after August 1, 2023, the Company may redeem for cash all of the notes if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (which need not be consecutive trading days) during any 30 consecutive trading-day period ending within five trading days prior to the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Conversion Rights. The 2026 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 234.2971 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $4.27 per share of the Company’s common stock), at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, following a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Convertible Indenture) or the Company’s delivery of a notice of redemption for the 2026 Convertible Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2026 Convertible Notes in connection with (i) such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (ii) such notice of redemption. However, to comply with certain listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange, the Company will settle in cash its obligation to increase the conversion rate in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or redemption until it has obtained the requisite stockholder approval.

Events of Default. The Convertible Indenture contains customary events of default which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the Convertible Notes to become immediately due and payable.

Revolving Credit Agreement

Lender. MSD PCOF Partners IX, LLC (“MSD”)

Maturity: The Revolving Credit Agreement has a maturity date of February 23, 2024.

Ranking. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement constitute a First-Out Debt, as defined in the Secured Indenture, and are secured on a pari passu basis with the 2026 Senior Secured Notes.

Collateral: As provided under a Collateral Trust Joinder, the lender was added as a secured party to the Collateral Trust Agreement, and accordingly the pari passu obligations and commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured equally and ratably by the collateral of the Secured Notes.

Infrastructure

The UMB Term Loan and UMB Revolving Line associated with our Infrastructure segment contains customary restrictive and financial covenants related to debt levels and performance, including a Fixed Coverage Ratio covenant, as defined in the agreement. On August 2, 2022, DBMG negotiated and finalized an amendment to its UMB Revolving Line which included a retrospective change to the terms of the Fixed Coverage Ratio, and an increase in the UMB Revolving Line commitment from $110.0 million to $135.0 million, among other things.

Life Sciences and Spectrum

As of September 30, 2022, our Life Sciences and Spectrum segments have principal outstanding debt of $10.0 million and $52.2 million, respectively, which will mature in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company is currently in negotiations to refinance the debt at Spectrum and Life Sciences and intends to satisfy the loan with a debt or equity event. However, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.

See Note 14. Debt Obligations to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details regarding the Company's indebtedness.

Restrictive Covenants

The indenture governing the 2026 Senior Secured Notes dated February 1, 2021, by and among INNOVATE, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the "Secured Indenture"), contains certain affirmative and negative covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Company, and, in certain cases, the Company’s subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The Company is also required to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, which are similarly subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants include maintenance of (1) liquidity and (2) collateral coverage.

The maintenance of liquidity covenant provides that the Company will not permit the aggregate amount of (i) all unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, (ii) amounts available for drawing under revolving credit facilities and undrawn letters of credit of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (iii) dividends, distributions or payments that are immediately available to be paid to the Company by any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be less than the Company’s obligation to pay interest on the 2026 Senior Secured Notes and all other Debt, including Convertible Preferred Stock mandatory cash dividends or any other mandatory cash pay Preferred Stock but excluding any obligation to pay interest on Convertible Preferred Stock or any other mandatory cash pay Preferred Stock which, in each case, may be paid by accretion or in-kind in accordance with its terms of the Company and its Subsidiary Guarantors for the next six months. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

The maintenance of collateral coverage provides that the certain subsidiaries' Collateral Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Secured Indenture as the ratio of (i) the Loan Collateral to (ii) Consolidated Secured Debt (each as defined therein)) calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter may not be less than 1.50 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

The instruments governing the Company’s Preferred Stock also limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to take certain actions, including, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness; issue additional Preferred Stock; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain restricted payments. These limitations are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The Company conducted its operations in a manner that resulted in compliance with the Secured Indenture; however, compliance with certain financial covenants for future periods may depend on the Company or one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries undertaking one or more non-operational transactions, such as the management of operating cash outflows, a monetization of assets, a debt incurrence or refinancing, the raising of equity capital, or similar transactions. If the Company is unable to remain in compliance and does not make alternate arrangements, an event of default would occur under the Company’s Secured Indenture which, among other remedies, could result in the outstanding obligations under the indenture becoming immediately due and payable and permitting the exercise of remedies with respect to the collateral. There is no assurance the Company will be able to complete any non-operational transaction it may undertake to maintain compliance with covenants under the Secured Indenture or, even if the Company completes any such transaction, that it will be able to maintain compliance for any subsequent period.

Operating Activities

Cash used in continuing operating activities was $72.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $48.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $24.1 million increase in cash used from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in working capital at Infrastructure as a result of increased activity as a result of the acquisition of Banker Steel at the end of May 2021, increases in the commercial structural steel fabrication and erection business, and larger backlog combined with the timing of receipt of receivables. This was partially offset by a decrease in net loss from improved operations.

Investing Activities

Cash used by continuing investing activities was $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to cash provided by continuing investing activities of $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $24.7 million decrease in cash from investing activities was primarily due to the sale of Continental and Beyond6 in 2021 for aggregate net proceeds and dividends received of $136.5 million, unrepeated sales of non-core assets at our Spectrum segment in 2021, additional investing outlays in the current period at our Life Sciences segment to purchase an additional convertible note from MediBeacon, partially offset by the acquisition of Banker Steel for $128.5 million in the comparable period.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by continuing financing activities was $73.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $62.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $11.0 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 relates primarily to our Infrastructure segment's increase on its revolving line of credit to fund working capital requirements on larger, more complex jobs, and an additional $10.0 million of short-term note financing at R2 from Lancer Capital in the current period, partially offset by principal payments on debt obligations, payments of dividends and other financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the 2021 refinancing of the Infrastructure notes in conjunction with the acquisition of Banker Steel; financing activities at our Life Sciences segment related to the $10.0 million investment by Huadong into R2 in the first quarter of 2021, which was partially offset by a redemption by INNOVATE of its preferred stock of $10.4 million, transactions with noncontrolling interests, payment of dividends and other financing activities.

Discontinued Operations

Cash from discontinued operations was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to cash used by discontinued operations of $195.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $195.4 million decrease in cash used was primarily due to the 2021 sales of the Insurance segment and Beyond6, which did not have any activity in the current period.

Infrastructure

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities are the principal source of cash used to fund DBMG’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and capital expenditures. DBMG's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations including receivables, inventories, and other costs incurred in performing its contracts. DBMG attempts to structure the payment arrangements under its contracts to match costs incurred under the project. To the extent it is able to bill in advance of costs incurred, DBMG generates working capital through billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts. DBMG relies on its credit facilities to meet its working capital needs. DBMG believes that its existing borrowing availability together with cash from operations will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for its operating expenses, interest payments on debt and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

DBMG is required to make monthly or quarterly interest payments on all of its debt. Based upon the September 30, 2022 debt balance, DBMG anticipates that its interest payments will be approximately $2.8 million for the last remaining quarter of 2022.

DBMG believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under its bank credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures and its working capital needs. However, DBMG may expand its operations through future acquisitions and may require additional equity or debt financing.

Discontinued Operations

We had several entities classified as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Accordingly, revenue, costs, and expenses of the discontinued operations were excluded from continuing operations. The entities reported in discontinued operations are as follows:

•On December 31, 2020, the Company signed the Merger Agreement to sell Beyond6. The sale closed on January 15, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a $39.2 million gain on the sale. During the third quarter of 2021, as a result of releases of related escrows and holdbacks, the Company recognized an additional $0.5 million gain on the sale.

•The sale of CIG closed on July 1, 2021 to Continental General Holdings LLC, an entity controlled by Michael Gorzynski, a former director of the Company who also serves as executive chairman of Continental since October 2020. The Company recorded a $200.8 million loss on the sale.

Cash flows from discontinued operations are reported in the Statement of Cash Flows as a separate line item within the Operations, Investing and Financing activities sections for each year presented.

In the absence of cash flows from the discontinued operations, the Company does not expect there to be an impact on liquidity at the Company.

None.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Persistent inflation and economic uncertainty may negatively impact DBMG's business.

Inflation in the United States and worldwide has increased DBMG’s costs and may result in additional cost increases, including of steel and welding wire components and other inputs that are critical to the completion of DBMG’s projects, may cause additional shortages of supplies and components, may increase cost of borrowing, and may continue to reduce DBMG’s purchasing power, all of which would have a negative impact on DBMG’s results of operation. Due to competitive pressure and pressure from DBMG’s customers, DBMG may not be able to offset the impacts of inflation in the price of its products. Additionally, continued inflation and economic uncertainty may result in DBMG’s customers decreasing the scope, canceling, or delaying projects in process.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of NYSE could result in a delisting of our securities, which in turn could adversely affect our financial condition and the market for our common stock.

On October 27, 2022, the Company was notified by NYSE that the average closing price of the Company’s common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days, which is the minimum average share price required by Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (“Section 802.01C”). The Company has six months following receipt of the notification to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement, we expect that our common stock will be delisted from NYSE. If the common stock ultimately were to be delisted from NYSE, it could negatively impact the Company by, among other things, (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of the Company’s common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company’s common stock, which could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise equity financing; and (iii) limiting the Company’s ability to sell its common stock in certain states within the United States, also potentially impacting the Company’s ability to raise financing. If the Company’s common stock is delisted from NYSE, the price paid by investors may not be recovered. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has not regained compliance with Section 802.01C.
