Recent Developments

Impact of the Macroeconomic Environment, Including Growth Outlook, Inflation and Tariffs

The macroeconomic environment, including the economic impacts of growth outlook, inflationary pressures, tariffs and evolving geopolitical conflicts and trade relationships, continues to create significant uncertainty and may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA); however, certain other tariffs remain in effect and the current administration has indicated that it will continue seeking to implement tariffs through other statutory authorities. Further, the ongoing conflict with Iran and geopolitical tensions has resulted in volatility in the global energy and commodity markets and increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment. International trade policy and diplomatic dynamics continue to shift, and the full implications remain uncertain. We remain mindful of the potential impact these conditions could have on our channel sales partners, suppliers and end-user demand. We are actively monitoring changes to the global macroeconomic environment and assessing the potential impacts these challenges may have on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. We expect to pass through to our channel sales partners any supplier price increases resulting from tariffs or other factors. We are also mitigating related risks through strategic planning and maintaining financial flexibility; however, we cannot predict the effectiveness of our mitigation strategies or the ultimate impact of tariffs and the global macroeconomic environment on our financial condition or results of operations.

(a) A reconciliation of non-GAAP net sales in constant currency, excluding acquisitions, is presented at the end of Results of Operations, under Non-GAAP Financial Information.

Specialty Technology Solutions

The Specialty Technology Solutions segment consists of sales to channel partners primarily in the United States and Brazil. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net sales increased $62.3 million, or 9.2%, compared to the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, adjusted net sales increased $54.1 million, or 8.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The increase for the quarter is primarily a result of growth across most technologies in North America. For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, net sales increased $43.7 million, or 2.0%, compared to the prior-year period. Excluding the impact from acquisitions and the impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, adjusted net sales increased $24.4 million, or 1.1%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior-year period. The increase in net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 is primarily due to growth across most technologies in North America.

Intelisys & Advisory

The Intelisys & Advisory segment consists of sales and services to both channel partners (Intelisys) and end users (Advisory) in the United States. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net sales decreased $0.4 million, or 1.5%, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 primarily reflects lower Resourcive sales. For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, net sales increased $1.3 million, or 1.7%, compared to the prior-year periods. The increase in net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 primarily reflects higher Intelisys sales.

Gross Profit

The following table summarizes our gross profit for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Our gross profit is primarily affected by sales volume and gross margin mix. Gross margin mix is impacted by multiple factors, which include sales mix (proportion of sales of higher margin products or services relative to total sales), supplier program recognition (consisting of volume rebates, inventory price changes and purchase discounts) and freight costs. Increases in supplier program recognition decrease cost of goods sold, thereby increasing gross profit. Gross profit margin in our Intelisys & Advisory segment reflects a higher contribution of recurring revenue which is recorded on a net basis.

Specialty Technology Solutions

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, gross profit dollars for the Specialty Technology Solutions segment increased $7.4 million, or 10.0%, compared to the prior-year quarter. Higher sales volumes, after considering cost of goods sold, increased gross profit by $6.8 million, and favorable supplier recognition program increased gross profit by $0.6 million. Gross profit margin increased slightly over the prior-year quarter to 11.0%.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, gross profit dollars increased $13.3 million, or 5.8%, compared to the prior-year period. Favorable supplier program recognition and sales mix increased gross profit by $8.7 million, and higher sales volumes, after considering cost of goods sold, increased gross profit by $4.7 million. Gross profit margin increased 39 basis points over the prior-year period to 11.1%.

Intelisys & Advisory

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, gross profit dollars for the Intelisys & Advisory segment decreased $0.5 million, or 1.9%, compared to the prior-year quarter.

Recent Developments

Impact of the Macroeconomic Environment, Including Forecasted Growth, Inflation and Tariffs

The macroeconomic environment, including the economic impacts of forecasted growth, inflation, tariffs and shifting relations between the U.S. and other countries, continues to create significant uncertainty and may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In 2025, the U.S. announced a variety of additional tariffs on goods from multiple nations and trading blocks and has been targeted with reciprocal tariffs and other retaliatory actions in response. Although the U.S. has announced pauses on certain tariffs, negotiations and the state of international trade policy and relations continue to evolve. We are mindful of the potential impact these conditions could have on our channel sales partners, suppliers and end-user demand and we are actively monitoring changes to the global macroeconomic environment and assessing the potential impacts these challenges may have on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. We expect to pass price increases from our suppliers resulting from tariffs to our channel sales partners. We are also mitigating risks through strategic planning and maintaining financial flexibility, but we cannot predict the outcome of our mitigation strategies or the ultimate impact of tariffs and the global macroeconomic environment on our financial condition or results of operations.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“the Act”) was signed into law. The Act permanently extends key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, and introduces changes to the international tax framework. We are currently assessing the impact of the Act on our future effective tax rate, tax liabilities, and cash taxes.

Business Acquisitions

On August 8, 2024, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Secure Path Networks, LLC doing business as Resourcive ("Resourcive"), a leading technology advisor. Resourcive delivers strategic IT sourcing solutions to mid-market and enterprise businesses.

Cost Reduction and Restructuring Program

In September 2024, as part of a strategic review of organizational structure and operations, the Company executed a cost reduction and restructuring program to align our cost structure with demand expectations in our business. These actions are expected to result in approximately $10.5 million in annualized savings in selling, general and administrative expenses. In January 2025, we executed an additional cost reduction and restructuring plan. These actions resulted in approximately $10.0 million in annualized savings in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net Sales

We have two reportable segments, which are based on sales model. The following table summarizes our net sales results by business segment and by geographic location for the comparable fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Specialty Technology Solutions

The Specialty Technology Solutions segment consists of sales to channel sales partners in the United States, Canada and Brazil. During fiscal year 2025, net sales for this segment decreased $224.8 million, or 7.1%, compared to fiscal year 2024. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange fluctuations and the impact of divestitures and acquisitions, adjusted net sales for fiscal year 2025 decreased $212.3 million, or 6.7%, compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in net sales and in adjusted net sales is primarily due to a more cautious technology spending environment in the first half of the fiscal year.

Intelisys & Advisory

The Intelisys & Advisory segment consists of sales and services to both channel sales partners (Intelisys) and end users (Advisory) in the United States. During fiscal year 2025, net sales for this segment increased $5.8 million, or 6.3%, compared to fiscal year 2024. The increase in net sales reflects the addition of an acquisition. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations and the impact from acquisitions, adjusted net sales decreased $0.2 million, or 0.2%, compared to the prior year primarily due to a more cautious technology spending environment.

For fiscal year 2025, Intelisys net billings, which are amounts billed by suppliers to end users and represents annual recurring revenue, totaled approximately $2.79 billion, an increase of 4.5%. The fiscal year 2025 Intelisys net billings resulted in Intelisys net sales of approximately $85.6 million.

Our gross profit is primarily affected by sales volume and gross margin mix. Gross margin mix is impacted by multiple factors, which include sales mix (proportion of sales of higher margin products or services relative to total sales), supplier program recognition (consisting of volume rebates, inventory price changes and purchase discounts) and freight costs.
