Basis of Presentation
Prior to the Separation, Mobility Global operated as part of S&P Global and not as a stand-alone company.
Accordingly, for periods prior to the Separation, the financial statements were prepared on a carve-out basis and derived
from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of S&P Global. The financial statements for such
periods reflect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as we were historically managed.
Accordingly, periods prior to the Separation are presented on a combined basis, and the periods subsequent to the
Separation are presented on a consolidated basis. Unless otherwise indicated, the consolidated and combined financial
statements are referred to herein as the “unaudited condensed financial statements”.
Following the Separation, the unaudited condensed financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and no longer include allocations from S&P Global. The Company believes
the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, that are
necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods shown. The
results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The following information is
relevant to the unaudited condensed financial statements:
•The unaudited condensed statements of operations and statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2026 consist of the Company’s consolidated results for the three months ended
September 30, 2026 and the combined results of the Company’s businesses for the six months ended June 30,
2026. The unaudited condensed statements of operations and statements of comprehensive income for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2025 consist of the combined results of the Company’s businesses.
•The unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2026 consists of the Company’s consolidated
balances, while the unaudited condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 consists of the combined
balances of the Company’s businesses.
•The unaudited condensed statements of equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 consist of
the Company’s consolidated activity for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and the combined activity of
the Company’s businesses for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The unaudited condensed statements of equity
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 consist of the combined activity of the Company’s
businesses.
•The unaudited condensed statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 consists of the
Company’s consolidated results for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and the combined results of the
Company’s businesses for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The unaudited condensed statement of cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consists of the combined results of the Company’s businesses.
For periods prior to the Separation, all revenues and costs, as well as assets and liabilities, directly associated with the
business activity of the Company were recorded in the unaudited condensed financial statements. For such periods, the
unaudited condensed financial statements included certain assets and liabilities that had historically been held at the S&P
Global corporate level but were specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. Such unaudited
condensed financial statements also included allocations of certain expenses from S&P Global’s corporate functions to the
Company. The allocations were recorded on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a
pro-rata basis of combined revenue, headcount, or other measures of the Company or S&P Global. Management believes
the assumptions underlying the unaudited condensed financial statements for periods prior to the Separation, including the
assumptions regarding allocating general corporate expenses, were reasonable; however, the amounts are not necessarily
representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the unaudited condensed financial statements had the
Company operated independently of S&P Global during such periods. Following the Separation, the Company no longer
receives allocations of expenses from S&P Global. See Note 11 — Related Party Transactions and Former Parent
Investment.
For periods prior to the Separation, S&P Global’s net investment in the Company was presented as a component of
equity in the unaudited condensed financial statements. Distributions made by S&P Global to the Company or to S&P
Global from the Company were recorded as transfers from and to S&P Global, and the net amount was presented on the
unaudited condensed statements of cash flows as Net transfers to Former Parent. In connection with the Separation, on July
1, 2026, Former Parent Investment was reclassified into Common stock and Additional paid-in capital based on the
outstanding shares of Mobility Global’s common stock on July 1, 2026. Net transfers from Former Parent, including
Separation adjustments on the unaudited condensed statements of equity include adjustments to deferred tax liabilities
transferred from the Former Parent and corrections to certain foreign currency translation adjustments related to the
Separation.
For periods prior to the Separation, cash balances legally owned by Mobility Global were reflected in the unaudited
condensed financial statements. S&P Global had historically used a centralized approach to cash management and
financing of its operations. These arrangements were not reflective of the manner in which the Company would have
financed its operations had it been a stand-alone business separate from S&P Global during the periods for which the cash
pooling arrangements were in place. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company ceased its participation in S&P Global’s
cash pooling arrangements. Cash related to cash pooling arrangements was not included in the unaudited condensed
financial statements for periods prior to the Separation. These amounts had instead been reported as a component of
Former Parent Investment. Following the Separation, the Company maintains its own centralized cash management
arrangements independent of S&P Global.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions within Mobility Global have
been eliminated. As a result of the Restructuring Transactions, and in anticipation of the Separation, all balances with S&P
Global were settled, with the exception of receivables from Mobility Global customers remitted to S&P Global that are
owed to Mobility Global which are reflected in Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts on the
unaudited condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2026. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions is
reflected in the unaudited condensed statements of cash flows in Net transfers to Former Parent as a financing activity and
in the unaudited condensed balance sheets as Former Parent Investment. Certain other historical intercompany transactions
between S&P Global and the Company have been classified as related party transactions, rather than Former Parent
Investment, as they were historically settled in cash.
For periods prior to the Separation, the unaudited condensed financial statements may not be indicative of future
performance and do not necessarily reflect what the unaudited condensed statements of operations, balance sheets and
statements of cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a stand-alone business during the periods
presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had operated as a stand-alone company would
depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including
information technology and infrastructure. The Company is unable to quantify the amounts that it would have recorded
during the historical periods on a stand-alone basis as it is not practicable to do so. The accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited combined financial
statements and related notes included within the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC on May
27, 2026, as amended (the “Registration Statement”).
Unearned Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations
We record unearned revenue when cash payments are received in advance of our performance. The increase in the
unearned revenue balance at September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 is primarily driven by cash payments
received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, offset by $76 million of revenues recognized that were
included in the unearned revenue balance at the beginning of the period.
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of contracts for work that has not yet been
performed. As of September 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance
obligations was $87 million. We expect to recognize the majority of revenue on the remaining performance obligations
over the next 12 months.
Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage exposure to changes in exchange rates
related to certain intercompany financing arrangements denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the
Company, which is the United States dollar. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company used
foreign currency forward contracts to economically offset foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses associated with
a certain intercompany loan. The contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes under
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, changes in the fair value
of the contracts are recognized in earnings within Interest expense and other, net in the unaudited condensed statements of
operations.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September of 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which removes
references to prescriptive software development stages and includes an updated framework for capitalizing internal
software costs. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim
reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its unaudited condensed financial statements.
In July of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides
an optional practical expedient for estimating future credit losses based on current conditions as of the balance sheet date
and assuming those conditions do not change over the remaining life of the accounts receivable. This guidance is effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual
reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the
Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
In November of 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income –
Express Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires
that an entity disclose, in the notes to financial statements, additional information about specific expense categories. The
amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting this guidance on its disclosures.
