Quarterly Results

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 totaled $885.5 million, up 4.7% year-over-year. Specialty Technology Solutions net sales for the third quarter increased 12.4% year-over-year to $565.7 million, led by growth in networking, security, and barcoding. Modern Communications & Cloud net sales for the third quarter decreased 6.7% year-over-year to $319.9 million. Strength in networking was offset by lower sales volumes in communications hardware as business shifts to the cloud.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 4.9% year-over-year to $111.8 million, in line with higher sales volume. Gross profit margin for the third quarter was 12.62% versus 12.59% in the prior-year quarter.

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, operating income increased to $34.3 million from $32.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Third quarter fiscal year 2023 non-GAAP operating income increased to $38.4 million for a 4.34% non-GAAP operating income margin, up from $37.4 million for the prior-year quarter.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 totaled $21.2 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to net income of $23.5 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. Third quarter fiscal year 2023 non-GAAP net income totaled $24.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, down from $26.9 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. Interest expense increased to $5.7 million, up significantly from $1.5 million for the prior-year quarter, reflecting higher interest rates and higher borrowings.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 3.5% to $45.7 million, or 5.16% of net sales, compared to $44.1 million, or 5.21% of net sales, for the prior-year quarter. Adjusted return on invested capital totaled 14.6% for third quarter fiscal year 2023, compared to 18.0% in the prior-year quarter, primarily from increased average invested capital for the current-year quarter. Third quarter operating cash flow was $54.8 million driven by strong net income and reduced working capital quarter over quarter.

Annual Financial Outlook for Fiscal Year 2023

ScanSource raises its expectation for adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and replaces previously provided guidance.

		FY23 Annual Outlook		Prior FY23 Outlook
Net sales growth, year-over-year		At least 6.5%		At least 6.5%
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)		At least $182 million		At least $176 million

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes estimates for amortization of intangible assets, depreciation expense, and non-cash share-based compensation expense. ScanSource’s outlook does not include the potential impact of any business combinations, asset acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments, or other significant transactions that may be completed after the date hereof. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains “forward-looking” statements, including the Company's FY23 outlook, which involve risks and uncertainties. Any number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated or forecasted results, including, but not limited to, failure to hire and retain quality employees, risk to the Company's business from a cyber-security attack, supply chain challenges, the failure to manage and implement the Company's organic growth strategy, economic weakness and inflation, a failure of the Company's IT systems, a failure to acquire new businesses, changes in interest and exchange rates and regulatory regimes impacting the Company's international operations, credit risks involving the Company's larger customers and suppliers, loss of the Company's major customers, termination of the Company's relationship with key suppliers or a significant modification of the terms under which it operates with a key supplier, changes in the Company's operating strategy, and other factors set forth in the "Risk Factors" contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022, and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are summarized below. Non-GAAP financial measures are used to understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period. Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, change in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition costs, restructuring costs and other non-GAAP adjustments.

Net sales on a constant currency basis, excluding acquisitions (organic growth): The Company discloses the percentage change in net sales excluding the translation impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between reporting periods and excluding the net sales from acquisitions prior to the first full year from the acquisition date. This measure enhances the comparability between periods to help analyze underlying trends on an organic basis.

Additional Non-GAAP Metrics: To evaluate current period performance on a more consistent basis with prior periods, the Company discloses non-GAAP SG&A expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP diluted "EPS"). Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and divestiture costs, impairment charges, restructuring costs, and other non-GAAP adjustments. These year-over-year metrics include the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Non-GAAP metrics are useful in assessing and understanding the Company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods.

Adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”): Adjusted EBITDA starts with net income and adds back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent considerations, and other non-GAAP adjustments, including acquisition and divestiture costs, impairment charges, restructuring costs and non-cash share-based compensation expense. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some non-cash costs of investing in our business and people, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA shows the profitability from our business operations more clearly. The presentation for Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented has been recast to reflect this change to enhance comparability between periods. The Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Net debt: Net debt is defined as total consolidated debt minus consolidated cash and cash equivalents.

Adjusted return on invested capital ("Adjusted ROIC"): Adjusted ROIC assists management in comparing the Company's performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of Adjusted ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA over invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. Management believes the calculation of Adjusted ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of the Company's performance during the year.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company reports may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the Supplementary Information (Unaudited) below.
