“In March, companies around the world, including ours, immediately shifted to work-from-home,” said Mike Baur, Chairman and CEO, ScanSource, Inc. “I am proud of how our ScanSource employees made the transition to work-from-home and delivered the same level of customer service. During the quarter, we saw an accelerated decline in our sales of premise-based communications products. However, we had a significant increase in sales of headsets, cameras, speakers, keyboards, displays, back-up power supplies, IP desk phones, and connectivity to support remote workers. Overall, we are pleased with our results delivering on our sales expectations.”
Quarterly Results
Net sales were $872.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, down 2% year-over-year, principally from the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Excluding the foreign currency translation and net sales from the Planned Divestitures and acquisitions, organic net sales growth for third quarter of fiscal year 2020 totaled 0.5%. Net sales grew across most of ScanSource’s diversified technologies in North America and Brazil. In addition, the sales growth reflected accelerated growth for work-from-home solutions from the immediate move to remote workforces in March.
Operating income for the third quarter decreased to $6.3 million year-over-year, and non-GAAP operating income decreased to $14.8 million from the prior-year quarter. This decrease includes a $4.5 million expense for inventory charges following the conversion to a new inventory management system. This charge increased cost of goods sold, which lowered gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.
On a GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 totaled $1.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income totaled $9.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $20.6 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter.
As of March 31, 2020, ScanSource had cash and cash equivalents of $35 million and total debt of $321 million. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company generated $32 million of operating cash flow.
Plan to Divest Certain Businesses Outside of US, Canada and Brazil
On August 20, 2019, ScanSource announced plans to divest its physical products distribution businesses outside of the United States, Canada and Brazil. ScanSource continues to operate and invest in its digital distribution business in these geographies. These plans are part of a strategic portfolio repositioning to align investments with higher-growth, higher-margin businesses. The Company has identified potential buyers for these businesses and is in due diligence and purchase agreement negotiations. There can be no assurance that this sale process will result in a transaction or regarding the timing of any transaction. The Planned Divestitures, comprised of physical product businesses in Europe, UK, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru and the Miami-based export operations, had net sales of $127.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and at March 31, 2020 had working capital of $155.5 million.
COVID-19 Update
Our top priority during the COVID-19 Pandemic is protecting the health and safety of our employees. We have implemented travel restrictions and moved quickly to transition our employees, where possible, to a fully remote working environment. Nearly all office-based employees around the world are working remotely. We have taken a number of measures to ensure our teams feel secure in their jobs and have the flexibility and resources they need to stay safe and healthy. We expect higher costs from these safety measures to protect our employees. We are continuing to provide the high level of customer service our partners expect from us.
Update on Forecasts
Given the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the changing economic environment, we are not providing our expectations for net sales or earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains “forward-looking” statements, including the Company's Planned Divestitures and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which involve risks and uncertainties. Any number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results, including, but not limited to, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial condition, the Company's ability to complete the Planned Divestitures on acceptable terms or to otherwise dispose of the operations, changes in interest and exchange rates and regulatory regimes impacting the Company's international operations, the impact of tax reform laws, the failure of acquisitions to meet the Company's expectations, the failure to manage and implement the Company's organic growth strategy, credit risks involving the Company's larger customers and suppliers, termination of the Company's relationship with key suppliers or a significant modification of the terms under which it operates with a key supplier, the decline in demand for the products and services that the Company provides, reduced prices for the products and services that the Company provides due both to competitor and customer action, 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, 2019 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, 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 Planned Divestitures and acquisitions: 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 Planned Divestitures, as well as 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.
Income Statement Non-GAAP Metrics: To evaluate current period performance on a more consistent basis with prior periods, the Company discloses non-GAAP net sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP other expense, net, non-GAAP pre-tax 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, impact of Planned Divestitures and other non-GAAP adjustments. 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.
Return on invested capital ("ROIC"): Management uses ROIC as a performance measurement to assess efficiency in allocating capital under the Company's control to generate returns. Management believes this metric balances the Company's operating results with asset and liability management, is not impacted by capitalization decisions and correlates with shareholder value creation. In addition, it is easily computed, communicated and understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of the Company's profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.
ROIC assists management in comparing the Company's performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance. ROIC is calculated as adjusted EBITDA over invested capital. Adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") excludes the change in fair value of contingent consideration, in addition to other non-GAAP adjustments. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. Management believes the calculation of 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.
