PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K,20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Fortrea Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because the Company requires additional time to finalize its financial statements and disclosures and the related impact to its internal control over financial reporting to be included in the Form 10-Q. Specifically, as a result of entering into a definitive agreement in March 2024 to divest assets relating to the Company’s Enabling Services segment, the Company needs additional time to comply with discontinued operations accounting principles, which includes the effort to separate businesses that are highly integrated within the Company, which was itself spun out of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings on June 30, 2023. In addition, in the course of preparing its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company identified immaterial adjustments to the Company’s previously reported financial information, including to periods prior to the June 30, 2023 spin-off. These adjustments primarily relate to an overstatement in goodwill and property, plant and equipment, accounting for a customer matter, and revisions to operating expenses. The Company requires additional time to finalize these adjustments and prepare the footnote disclosure regarding these adjustments that will be included in the Form 10-Q.
The Company previously reported its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 in a press release furnished on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2024. Further adjustments to the Company’s results of operations previously reported could be made as the Company finalizes its review process.
The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q within the extension period of five calendar days as provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company previously reported its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 in its press release furnished on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2024. As a result of the divestiture of assets related to the Company’s Enabling Services segment described above, the Company is reporting the operations to be divested as discontinued operations in its current and prior periods. As also described above, the Company has identified other prior-period adjustments, including to periods prior to the June 30, 2023 spin-off, primarily related to an overstatement in goodwill and property, plant and equipment, accounting for a customer matter, and revisions to operating expenses, which are not considered material to any annual or interim period but for which the Company is prospectively revising its prior period financial statements. Further adjustments to the Company’s results of operations previously reported could be made as the Company finalizes its review process. | |||||
