Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
NATURE OF OPERATIONS	NATURE OF OPERATIONS Steel Connect, Inc. (the "Company" or "Steel Company"), is a holding company which operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary ModusLink Corporation ("ModusLink" or "Supply Chain"). ModusLink is a supply chain business process management company serving clients in markets such as consumer electronics, telecommunications, computing and storage, software and content, consumer packaged goods, health and personal care products, retail and luxury, and connected devices. ModusLink designs and executes elements in its clients' global supply chains to improve speed to market, product customization, flexibility, cost, quality and service. The Company also produces and licenses an entitlement management solution for activation, provisioning, entitlement subscription and data collection from physical goods (connected products) and digital products. Steel Partners and Steel Connect Exchange Transaction On April 30, 2023, Steel Partners Holdings L.P., (“Steel Holdings”) and the Company executed a series of agreements in which Steel Holdings and certain of its affiliates (the “Steel Partners Group”) agreed to transfer certain marketable securities held by the Steel Partners Group to the Company in exchange for 3.5 million shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock”, and, such transfer and related transactions, the “Exchange Transaction”). The Exchange Transaction closed on May 1, 2023, which is the date that the consideration was exchanged between Steel Holdings and the Company. As of October 31, 2024, the Steel Partners Group beneficially owned approximately 91.0% of our outstanding capital stock, including the if-converted shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock that vote on an as-converted basis together with our common stock.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 2024 (Fiscal Year 2024), which are contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 filed on November 6, 2024, as amended on November 25, 2024. The results for the three months ended October 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Pushdown Accounting On May 1, 2023, the Exchange Transaction resulted in Steel Holdings obtaining control of the Company for financial statement consolidation purposes. Steel Holdings does not consolidate the Company for Federal income tax purposes because the ownership in the Company is dispersed between different federal tax consolidation groups within Steel Holdings. As of May 1, 2023, the Company elected pushdown accounting in which it used Steel Holdings' basis of accounting, which reflected the fair market value of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the date of the Exchange Transaction. As a result, the Company has reflected the required pushdown accounting adjustments in its consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. For the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date these financial statements were filed.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Adoption of New Accounting Standards In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . The amendment in this update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The update also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity's financial statements and information about events, conditions and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity's future cash flows related to those instruments. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in our fiscal year ending July 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on August 1, 2024. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) , which requires a public business entity to disclose specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The objective of the disclosure requirements is to provide disaggregated information about a public business entity's expenses to help investors: (a) better understand the entity's performance, (b) better assess the entity's prospects for future cash flows, and (c) compare an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. 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. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets, or statement of operations. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The new guidance requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a quantitative threshold. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets or statement of operations. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss to assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The new guidance requires a public entity to disclose significant expenses and other segment items that are regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and the nature of segment expense information used to manage operations. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the CODM. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations. In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement ("ASU 2023-05"). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a "joint venture" or a "corporate joint venture" and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The new guidance is applicable to joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets or statement of operations. Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after October 31, 2024 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company paid 1.0 million GBP (approximately $1.2 million) to subscribe for an amount of £1.0 million (the "loan principal") of 11.0% 2025 unsecured convertible loan notes issued by the investee (the "CLN Instrument Agreement"). Contemporaneous with the execution of the CLN Instrument Agreement, the Company executed the Equity Warrant Instrument Agreement (“Warrant Agreement”), which provides the Company with the option to convert the outstanding balance into equity shares of the investee at any time before repayment of the outstanding loan principal balance. The Company elected the fair value option to account for this investment. In April 2024, the Company became aware that the investee had halted its operations while it undergoes a restructuring process. As a result, the Company determined that the fair value of the investment was zero. The Company recorded a loss of $1.2 million to Other (losses) gains, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, which was the fair value of the investment as of January 31, 2024. As of October 31, 2024, there was no new information available that would indicate that the fair value of the convertible loan note investment had changed. (b) The balance consists of multiple common stock investments in public companies which are measured at fair value. The amounts of net unrealized losses for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 that relate to equity securities still held as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are as follows: Three months ended October 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Unrealized losses recognized during the period on equity securities still held at the end of the period $ (5,480) $ (447) Unrealized losses are recorded in Other (losses) gains, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIES Donald Reith v. Warren G. Lichtenstein, et al. On April 13, 2018, a purported shareholder, Donald Reith, filed a verified complaint, Reith v. Lichtenstein, et al., 2018-277 (Del. Ch.) in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Reith litigation”). The complaint alleges class and derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty and/or aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against certain current and former directors of the Company, Warren G. Lichtenstein, Glen M. Kassan, William T. Fejes, Jack L. Howard, Jeffrey J. Fenton, Philip E. Lengyel and Jeffrey S. Wald; and stockholders Steel Holdings and several of its affiliated companies (collectively, the "Steel Parties") in connection with the acquisition of $35.0 million of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock by SPHG Holdings and equity grants made to Messrs. Lichtenstein, Howard and Fejes on December 15, 2017 (collectively, the "Challenged Transactions"). The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that although the Challenged Transactions were approved by a Special Committee consisting of the independent members of the Board of Directors (Messrs. Fenton, Lengyel and Wald), the Steel Parties dominated and controlled the Special Committee, who approved the Challenged Transactions in breach of their fiduciary duty. Plaintiff alleges that the Challenged Transactions unfairly diluted stockholders and therefore unjustly enriched Steel Holdings, SPHG Holdings and Messrs. Lichtenstein, Howard and Fejes. The complaint also alleges that the Board of Directors made misleading disclosures in the Company's proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in connection with seeking approval to amend the 2010 Incentive Award Plan to authorize the issuance of additional shares to accommodate certain shares underlying the equity grants. Remedies requested include rescission of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and equity grants, disgorgement of any unjustly obtained property or compensation and monetary damages. On August 13, 2021, the Company, together with certain of its current and former directors of the Board, Warren Lichtenstein, Glen Kassan, William Fejes, Jr., Jack Howard, Jeffrey Fenton and Jeffrey Wald, as well as other named defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”), entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with Donald Reith (the “Plaintiff”) in connection with the settlement of the Reith. Additionally, under the MOU and separate letter agreements between the Company and such individuals (the “Surrender Agreements”), Messrs. Lichtenstein, Howard and Fejes agreed to surrender to the Company an aggregate 353,571 shares that they had initially received in December 2017 in consideration for services to the Company. The surrenders and cancellations are in the following amounts: for Mr. Lichtenstein, 196,429 vested shares and 32,143 unvested shares; for Mr. Howard, 98,214 vested shares and 16,071 unvested shares; and for Mr. Fejes, 10,714 vested shares. All such shares were surrendered and subsequently cancelled. On September 23, 2022, the court ruled that it was denying approval of the terms of the MOU. On April 8, 2024, the Company, the Defendants and Mr. Reith entered into a new memorandum of understanding contemplating the settlement of the Reith litigation. On October 18, 2024, the Company, Plaintiff, and Defendants entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release (the “Stipulation”) to resolve the Reith litigation (the “Settlement”). A court hearing is scheduled to consider the approval of the Settlement on December 13, 2024. If the Settlement is approved by the Court, (i) the Defendants shall cause their insurers to make a cash payment of $6.0 million to the Company and, after deducting any Court-approved award of attorneys’ fees to Plaintiff's counsel and certain litigation expenses, the Company shall distribute the balance of the cash payment, by way of a special divided or other distribution, to the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the allocation provisions set forth in the previously disclosed Stockholders Agreement dated April 30, 2023 by and among the Company, Steel Partners Holdings L.P., and other stockholders signatory thereto (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) as amended by the Settlement; (ii) the Company will adopt certain amendments to the Stockholders’ Agreement; and (iii) the Company will adopt certain corporate governance policies and practices, including a formal review process for compensation clawbacks, enhancing the process for granting equity awards and keeping records of equity awards granted under the Company’s stock plans, further enhancing board committee independence, and reducing the materiality threshold for review of related party transactions under the Stockholders' Agreement. The Settlement requires Court approval, and there can be no assurances that such approval will be granted. The Settlement, if approved by the Court, will cause the dismissal, with prejudice, of the Reith litigation and the release of claims against the parties to the Settlement as described in the Stipulation. On December 12, 2023, the Company received books and records demand, similar to the demand from Reith, from another purported shareholder. The possible liability, if any, with respect to this matter cannot be determined.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE RECOGNITION	REVENUE RECOGNITION Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents the Company's revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by major good or service line and timing of revenue recognition. The table also includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the reportable segments. Three Months Ended October 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Major Goods/Service Lines Supply chain management services $ 50,061 $ 41,005 Other 426 336 $ 50,487 $ 41,341 Timing of Revenue Recognition Services transferred over time $ 50,487 $ 41,341 $ 50,487 $ 41,341 Supply Chain Management Services ModusLink's revenue primarily comes from the sale of supply chain management services to its clients. Amounts billed to customers under these arrangements include revenue attributable to the services performed as well as for materials procured on the customer's behalf as part of its service to them. The majority of these arrangements consist of two distinct performance obligations (i.e., warehousing/inventory management service and a separate kitting/packaging/assembly service), revenue related to each of which is recognized over time as services are performed using an input method based on the level of efforts expended. For certain customer contracts, the Company recognizes the sale of certain inventoriable goods at a point in time when control of those goods is transferred to clients. However, for sales recognized at a point in time, the timing of recognition is not significantly different than over time. Other Other revenue consists of cloud-based software subscriptions, software maintenance and support service contracts, and fees for professional services. Revenue related to these arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement or over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. Contract Balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records contract assets and liabilities related to its contracts with customers as follows: • Accounts receivable when revenue is recognized prior to receipt of cash payments and if the right to such amounts is unconditional and solely based on the passage of time. • Contract asset when the Company recognizes revenue based on efforts expended but the right to such amount is conditional upon satisfaction of another performance obligation. Contract assets are primarily comprised of fees related to supply chain management services. The Company's contract assets are all short-term in nature and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. • Deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Deferred revenue is primarily comprised of fees related to supply chain management services, cloud-based software subscriptions and software maintenance and support service contracts, which are generally billed in advance. Deferred revenue also includes other offerings for which we have been paid in advance and earn the revenue when we transfer control of the product or service. The deferred revenue balance is classified as a component of other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The table below presents information for the Company's contract balances: October 31, July 31, (In thousands) Accounts receivable, trade, net $ 34,543 $ 33,443 Contract assets 360 275 Deferred revenue - current $ 2,027 $ 2,271 Deferred revenue - long-term 48 54 Total deferred revenue $ 2,075 $ 2,325 Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations are comprised of deferred revenue. Changes in deferred revenue during the three months ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, were as follows: Three Months Ended 2024 2023 (In thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 2,325 $ 2,718 Deferral of revenue 208 301 Recognition of deferred amounts upon satisfaction of performance obligation (458) (371) Balance at end of period $ 2,075 $ 2,648 The Company expects to recognize approximately $2.0 million of the deferred revenue over the next twelve months and the remaining balance beyond that time period. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company's tax provision represents the income tax expense or benefit of its consolidated subsidiaries that are taxable entities. The income tax provision fluctuates based on, among other factors, where income is earned and the level of income relative to tax attributes. The Company recorded income tax provisions of $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Provisions have been made for federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes on the results of operations generated by our consolidated subsidiaries that are taxable entities. Significant differences between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate include changes in deferred tax valuation allowances, the impact of international tax provisions and withholding taxes, and other permanent differences. The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries have recorded deferred tax valuation allowances to the extent that they believe it is more likely than not that the benefits of certain deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within and outside of the United States. For the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company was profitable in certain jurisdictions, resulting in an income tax expense using enacted rates in those jurisdictions. As of both October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, the total amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $0.1 million. Uncertain Tax Positions In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is included in the income tax expense line of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of both October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, the total amount of the liability for uncertain tax positions, including interest, related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $0.1 million. The Company expects $0.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits and related interest to reverse in the next twelve months. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and various state, local and international income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. The federal and state tax returns are generally subject to tax examinations for the tax years ended July 31, 2021 through July 31, 2024. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax year in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period. In addition, a number of tax years remain subject to examination by the appropriate government agencies for certain countries in the Europe and Asia regions. In Europe, the Company's 2019 through 2024 tax years remain subject to examination in most locations, while the Company's 2018 through 2024 tax years remain subject to examination in most Asia locations.

EARNINGS PER SHARE	EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table reconciles net earnings per share for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023: Three Months Ended 2024 2023 (In thousands, except per share data) Reconciliation of net income to net income attributable to common stockholders after assumed conversions: Net income $ 2,365 $ 4,436 Less: Preferred dividends on Series C redeemable preferred stock (537) (536) Net income available to common stockholders 1,828 3,900 Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (1,389) (2,970) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 439 $ 930 Effect of dilutive securities: Undistributed earnings allocated to Series E preferred stock 1,389 2,970 Net income attributable to common stockholders - assuming dilution $ 1,828 $ 3,900 Net income per common share - basic $ 0.07 $ 0.15 Net income per common share - diluted $ 0.07 $ 0.15 Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 6,256 6,199 Effect of dilutive securities: Common stock equivalents - Restricted stock and restricted stock shares 38 57 Common stock equivalents - Series E Preferred stock 19,810 19,810 Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 26,104 26,066 The Company calculated basic and diluted net income per common share using the two-class method, as the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock meets the definition of a participating security. The two-class method is an allocation formula that determines net income per common share for each share of common stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, a participating security, according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to participate equally and ratably with the holders of shares of Common Stock in all dividends or other distributions on the shares of Common Stock as if, immediately prior to each record date for payment of dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock, shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding were converted into shares of Common Stock. Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the period includes dividends paid to common stockholders, if any, during the period plus a proportionate share of undistributed net income allocable to common stockholders for the period; the proportionate share of undistributed net income allocable to common stockholders for the period is based on the proportionate share of total weighted-average common shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus potential common shares considered outstanding during the period, as long as the inclusion of such awards is not antidilutive. Potential common shares consist of restricted common stock (calculated based on the treasury stock method) and shares issuable upon debt or preferred stock conversion (calculated using an as-if converted method), using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or as-converted stock method. The below details certain exclusions from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive: For the three months ended October 31, 2024, $0.5 million of Series C preferred dividends were excluded from the numerator in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended October 31, 2023, $0.2 million of interest expense, net of tax impact related to the SPHG Note, and $0.5 million of Series C preferred dividends were excluded from the numerator in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended October 31, 2024, 1.9 million common stock equivalent shares related to the Series C Preferred stock were excluded from the denominator in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended October 31, 2023, 2.5 million common stock equivalent shares (including those related to the SPHG Note and the Series C Preferred stock) were excluded from the denominator in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has one reportable segment: Supply Chain. The Company also has Corporate-level activity, which consists primarily of activity related to business development to manage investments and cash, as well as costs associated with certain corporate administrative functions such as legal, finance and share-based compensation, which are not allocated to the Company's reportable segment. The Corporate-level balance sheet information includes cash and cash equivalents, investments, debt and other assets and liabilities which are not identifiable to the operations of the Company's operating segment. Management evaluates segment performance based on segment net revenue, operating income (loss) and "adjusted operating income (loss)," which is defined as the operating income (loss) excluding net charges related to depreciation, amortization of long-lived asset impairment, share-based compensation and restructuring. These items are excluded because they may be considered to be of a non-operational or non-cash nature. Historically, the Company has recorded significant impairment and restructuring charges, and therefore management uses adjusted operating income (loss) to assist in evaluating the performance of the Company's core operations. Summarized financial information of the Company's continuing operations by operating segment is as follows: Three Months Ended 2024 2023 (In thousands) Net revenue: Supply Chain $ 50,487 $ 41,341 Total segment net revenue 50,487 41,341 Operating income: Supply Chain 8,547 2,675 Corporate-level activity (2,046) (870) Total operating income 6,501 1,805 Total other (expense) income, net (3,319) 3,302 Income before income taxes $ 3,182 $ 5,107 October 31, July 31, (In thousands) Total assets: Supply Chain $ 160,085 $ 149,198 Corporate 316,673 336,430 Total assets $ 476,758 $ 485,628 Summarized financial information of the Company's capital expenditures and depreciation expense for the Supply Chain reportable segment is as follows: Three Months Ended 2024 2023 (In thousands) Capital expenditures $ 581 $ 552 Depreciation expense $ 606 $ 435 Summarized financial information of the Company's net revenue by geographic location is as follows: Three Months Ended 2024 2023 (In thousands) Mainland China $ 17,169 $ 14,384 United States 10,687 15,197 Netherlands 6,684 5,298 Singapore 5,718 1,460 Czech Republic 4,589 2,630 Malaysia 2,883 — Other 2,757 2,372 Total consolidated net revenue $ 50,487 $ 41,341

Any amendment to the Stockholders’ Agreement by the Company prior to the date that any person or group of related persons owns 100% of the equity securities of the Company requires the prior approval of the Independent Audit Committee or the Disinterested Audit Committee, as applicable. As described in Note 10 - "Commitments and Contingencies", if the Settlement is approved, the Company will make certain changes to the Stockholders’ Agreement as described above, including that 100% of the net proceeds received by the Company upon resolution of the Reith litigation will be distributed to the Company's stockholders. Steel Connect Management Services Agreement On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement (the "STCN Management Services Agreement") with Steel Services Ltd. ("Steel Services"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Steel Holdings. The STCN Management Services Agreement was effective as of June 1, 2019. Pursuant to the STCN Management Services Agreement, Steel Services provides the Company and its subsidiaries with the non-exclusive services of certain employees, including certain executive officers (including chief financial officer and general counsel services) and other corporate services. The STCN Management Services Agreement also provides for reimbursements to Steel Services and its representatives for all reasonable expenses incurred in providing the non-exclusive services and automatically renews for successive one year periods unless and until terminated by the Company or Steel Services. On February 25, 2022, in connection with the Company's disposal of its ownership in IWCO Direct Holdings, Inc., the management fee was reduced from $282.8 thousand per month to $101.9 thousand per month. On October 25, 2023, the Company and Steel Services entered into Amendment No. 2 to the STCN Management Services Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to increase the monthly fee to $131.0 thousand effective as of January 1, 2024, primarily to increase the business development and mergers and acquisition staffing needed to originate, analyze and pursue strategic acquisitions and investments. Prior to the effective date of Amendment No. 2 to the STCN Management Services Agreement, expenses incurred by ModusLink were paid to Steel Services under the STCN Management Services Agreement. ModusLink Management Services Agreement On October 25, 2023, ModusLink entered into a management services agreement (the “ModusLink Management Services Agreement”) with Steel Services, effective as of January 1, 2024. Pursuant to the ModusLink Management Services Agreement, Steel Services will provide ModusLink with certain non-exclusive services of certain employees and executive officers to serve in various positions or functions and to perform duties normally associated with those specific to, or substantially equivalent, positions or functions for ModusLink based on its particular needs. Such services include, but are not limited to, services related to legal and environmental, health and safety, finance, tax and treasury, human resources, “lean,” internal audit, mergers and acquisitions, and information technology. Previously, the terms regarding such non-exclusive services were governed by the STCN Management Services Agreement. The ModusLink Management Services Agreement provides that ModusLink will pay Steel Services a fixed monthly fee of $80.0 thousand in consideration of the non-exclusive services and will reimburse Steel Services and its representatives for all reasonable expenses incurred in providing the services. The ModusLink Management Services Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless and until terminated by ModusLink or Steel Services. Total expenses incurred related to the management services agreements for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are below and are recorded within the consolidated statements of operations to Selling, general and administrative expense: Three Months Ended 2024 2023 (In thousands) Management services agreement expenses $ 656 $ 617 As of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, amounts due to Steel Services were $26.9 thousand and $0.1 million, respectively and are recorded within the consolidated balance sheets as a component of Accounts payable. ModusLink Employee Stock Awards On May 14, 2024, the Company agreed to reimburse Steel Holdings for the issuance by Steel Holdings of restricted limited partnership units to certain ModusLink employees. Total expenses incurred related to the ModusLink Stock Awards were $21.9 thousand for the three months ended October 31, 2024. The ModusLink Employee Stock Awards agreement was effective beginning May 14, 2024, and as such, there was no related expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2023. As of October 31, 2024, there were no amounts due to Steel Services. As of July 31, 2024, amounts due to Steel Services were $0.2 million, respectively, and were recorded within the consolidated balance sheets as a component of Accounts payable. Air Travel The Company reimburses SP General Services, LLC (an affiliate of Steel Holdings), rather than Steel Services, for expenses for business-related air travel, which relates to services provided to the Company by Warren G. Lichtenstein as Interim Chief Executive Officer as well as certain of the Company’s executive officers whose services are provided to the Company under the STCN Management Services Agreement or the ModusLink Management Services Agreement. For the three months ended October 31, 2024, SP General Services, LLC incurred $0.1 million in expenses for business-related air travel. There were no reportable expenses incurred by SP General Services, LLC for business-related air travel for the three months ended October 31, 2023. As of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, amounts due to SP General Services, LLC were $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Going Private Transaction On November 27, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board approved a short-form merger (the “Short-Form Merger”) with Steel Holdings in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement. No approval is required by the Board or the Company's minority stockholders. Steel Holdings has no obligation to consummate the Short-Form Merger. If Steel Holdings determined to proceed with the Short-Form Merger, Steel Holdings, which, together with its affiliates, owns greater than 90% of the outstanding common stock of Steel Connect, intends to acquire the remaining shares of Common Stock that it does not currently own for $11.45 per share in cash. In addition, if, prior to the effective time of the Short-Form Merger, Steel Connect has not distributed to stockholders proceeds, if any, from the Settlement of the Reith litigation, holders of Common Stock (other than shares held by officers and directors of Steel Connect and certain shares held by Steel Holdings and its affiliates) will receive a contingent value right to receive their pro rata share of the net settlement proceeds, if any, as described in a contingent value right agreement. If the Short-Form Merger is consummated, the Common Stock will cease to be quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market and will be eligible for deregistration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables present the Company's financial assets and liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, classified by fair value hierarchy: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using October 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In thousands) Assets: Money market funds $ 215,990 $ 215,990 $ — $ — Convertible loan note investment — — — — Investments in equity securities 48,693 48,693 — — Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using July 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In thousands) Assets: Money market funds $ 235,221 $ 235,221 $ — $ — Convertible loan note investment — — — — Investments in equity securities 41,376 41,376 — — Liabilities: SPHG Note $ 12,903 $ — $ — $ 12,903 There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during any of the periods presented. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , provides that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities When available, quoted prices are used to determine fair value. When quoted prices in active markets are available, investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are determined using pricing models, and the inputs to those pricing models are based on observable market inputs. The inputs to the pricing models are typically benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities, among others. Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets and goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of these assets whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset group or reporting unit is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The Company estimates the fair values of assets subject to impairment based on the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets and on observable market data, when available. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer deposits, accounts payable, and restricted cash, and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at carrying value. Carrying value approximates fair value for these items due to their short-term maturities or expected settlement dates of these instruments. Following is a summary of changes in financial assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs: (In thousands) SPHG Note Convertible Loan Note Investment Balance as of July 31, 2024 $ 12,903 $ — Purchases — — Change in fair value (a) — — Paydown of SPHG Note at maturity (12,903) — Balance as of October 31, 2024 $ — $ — Balance as of July 31, 2023 $ 12,461 $ — Purchases — 1,227 Change in fair value (a) (134) — Balance as of October 31, 2023 $ 12,327 $ 1,227 (a) Unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value are recorded in Other (losses) gains, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Valuation Techniques Included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are money market funds. These are valued at quoted market prices in active markets. The Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair value. In conjunction with the application of pushdown accounting, the Company began measuring the fair value of the SPHG Note on a recurring basis. Refer to Note 9 - "Debt" for further details. Prior to maturity, the Company estimated the fair value of the SPHG Note using a Binomial Lattice Model. The Company recognized $0.1 million in unrealized gains in Other gains, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2023 as a result of the fair value measurement performed. As discussed previously, the SPHG Note matured on September 1, 2024, and the Company paid off the outstanding principal and accrued interest for the SPHG Note upon its maturity. As such, the balance of the SPHG Note as of October 31, 2024 is zero, and there were no unrealized gains or losses recorded to the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2024. As discussed in Note 6 - "Investments", the Company elected the fair value option to account for their convertible loan note investment. In April 2024, the Company determined that the fair value of the investment is zero. As such, the Company recorded a loss of $1.2 million to the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. As of October 31, 2024, there was no new information available that would indicate that the fair value of the convertible loan note investment had changed. The Company believed the cost basis of the investment purchased in October 2023 approximated its fair value as of October 31, 2023. As such, there were no unrealized gains or losses recorded to the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2023.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Oct. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 2024 (Fiscal Year 2024), which are contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 filed on November 6, 2024, as amended on November 25, 2024. The results for the three months ended October 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Pushdown Accounting On May 1, 2023, the Exchange Transaction resulted in Steel Holdings obtaining control of the Company for financial statement consolidation purposes. Steel Holdings does not consolidate the Company for Federal income tax purposes because the ownership in the Company is dispersed between different federal tax consolidation groups within Steel Holdings. As of May 1, 2023, the Company elected pushdown accounting in which it used Steel Holdings' basis of accounting, which reflected the fair market value of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the date of the Exchange Transaction. As a result, the Company has reflected the required pushdown accounting adjustments in its consolidated financial statements.
Consolidation	All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented	Adoption of New Accounting Standards In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . The amendment in this update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The update also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity's financial statements and information about events, conditions and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity's future cash flows related to those instruments. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in our fiscal year ending July 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on August 1, 2024. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) , which requires a public business entity to disclose specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The objective of the disclosure requirements is to provide disaggregated information about a public business entity's expenses to help investors: (a) better understand the entity's performance, (b) better assess the entity's prospects for future cash flows, and (c) compare an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. 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. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets, or statement of operations. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The new guidance requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a quantitative threshold. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets or statement of operations. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss to assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The new guidance requires a public entity to disclose significant expenses and other segment items that are regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and the nature of segment expense information used to manage operations. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the CODM. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations. In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement ("ASU 2023-05"). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a "joint venture" or a "corporate joint venture" and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The new guidance is applicable to joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets or statement of operations. Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after October 31, 2024 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company paid 1.0 million GBP (approximately $1.2 million) to subscribe for an amount of £1.0 million (the "loan principal") of 11.0% 2025 unsecured convertible loan notes issued by the investee (the "CLN Instrument Agreement"). Contemporaneous with the execution of the CLN Instrument Agreement, the Company executed the Equity Warrant Instrument Agreement (“Warrant Agreement”), which provides the Company with the option to convert the outstanding balance into equity shares of the investee at any time before repayment of the outstanding loan principal balance. The Company elected the fair value option to account for this investment. In April 2024, the Company became aware that the investee had halted its operations while it undergoes a restructuring process. As a result, the Company determined that the fair value of the investment was zero. The Company recorded a loss of $1.2 million to Other (losses) gains, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, which was the fair value of the investment as of January 31, 2024.
