Item 4.02: Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Reviews
EON Resources Inc. (the “Company”) has received comment letters (“Comment Letters”) from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to its annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
The Comment Letters included comments related to the Company’s accounting for non-controlling interest (“NCI”) for Class B Units of a subsidiary of the Company and the corresponding number of Class B Common Stock of the Company (collectively, referred to as the “Class B Equity”). The Company did not allocate its annual losses to the NCI because, among other things pursuant to the purchase agreement for the Company’s initial business combination and related transaction documents, the Class B Equity had “no economic” rights.
Following the receipt of the Comment Letters, and on-going correspondence and discussions with the Staff, on February 24, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) determined, based on management’s recommendation and after consultation with CBIZ CPAs P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to modify the accounting methodology and allocate net income or loss to the NCI for Class B Equity from November 15, 2023, when the Class B Equity was issued, through February 2025, when the last of the Class B Equity was converted to Class A Common Stock of the Company. As a result, the Audit Committee also determined that the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and in each of the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC in 2024 and 2025 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should no longer be relied upon.
The ending result is the Company expects: (1) to report no change in total income or loss for the Company (2) to allocate previously reported annual and quarterly income and losses to the NCI which will reduce the net annual losses allocated to the shareholders of EON Resources Inc.; (3) that the ending cumulative Company shareholder equity as reported in the third quarter of 2025 will remain unchanged; and (4) that there will be no financial impact going forward as the impact is to historical results only.
The Company will file an amended 2024 Form 10-K where the Company expects, among other things: (1) the reported loss allocated to the shareholders of EON Resources Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2023 to be reduced from $9.0 million to approximately $6.7 million after allocating approximately $2.3 million of loss to the NCI for the Class B Equity; and (2) the reported income for the third quarter of 2024 and the reported losses for the other quarters of 2024 to be allocated to the shareholders of EON Resources Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2024 to be reduced from the annual net loss of $9.1 million to approximately of net loss of $7.5 million after allocating approximately $1.5 million of net loss to the NCI for the Class B Equity. The filing will provide the impacted results by quarter, which will also reflect that 75% of the Class B Equity was fully converted by approximately the end of the third quarter of 2024.
The Company will include any impact to previously reported 2025 results when the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which will provide the impacted results by quarter. The Company expects: (1) an immaterial impact to the first quarter 2025 results when the final conversion of the Class B Equity occurred; and (2) that the ending total shareholders’ equity attributable to the Company of $60.9 million as of September 30, 2025 to remain unchanged.
This restatement is non-cash in nature and will have no impact on the Company’s cash flows or cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments.
The preliminary evaluation provided above is subject to the completion of the Company’s analysis and financial close and reporting process, as well as the financial statement audits and reviews for the Affected Periods.
The Audit Committee has discussed the matters described in this Form 8-K with its independent registered accounting firm, CBIZ CPAs P.C.
