02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. On August 8, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Quantum Corporation (the "Company") concluded that the Company's previously-issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2024 contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Non-Reliance Period"), as well as its disclosures related to such financial statements, including any reports, earnings releases, and investor presentations, and related communications issued by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the Non-Reliance Period, including management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, should no longer be relied upon. The determination by the Board was made upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board and after consultation with the Company's management team. In June 2025, the Company identified certain service and subscription revenue inconsistencies during the Non-Reliance Period, which is deferred under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("Topic 606") and recognized ratably over the term of the contract. The Company's management reviewed and updated the periods over which revenue was being recognized to ensure consistent application for all service contracts invoiced in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 and the results have been applied to revenue. The Company's management determined that no contracts entered into prior to fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 were impacted. The Company also determined that the standalone selling price that is used to allocate revenue under Topic 606 needed to be updated for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 resulting in an adjustment to revenue. As a result of these errors, the Company will restate the financial statements for the Non-Reliance Period (the "Restat
