Named to FORTUNE Magazine's List of World's Most Admired Companies for Sixth Consecutive Year

GREENVILLE, SC -- February 8, 2022 -- ScanSource, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCSC), a leading hybrid distributor connecting devices to the cloud, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2021. All results in this release reflect continuing operations only unless otherwise noted.

"Strong demand drove top-line growth with profitability ahead of expectations, as our team successfully navigated ongoing supply chain challenges," said Mike Baur, Chairman and CEO, ScanSource, Inc. "This demand from channel partners across our technologies and operational excellence by our employees lead us to raise our full year 2022 outlook for both net sales growth and adjusted EBITDA."

Quarterly Results

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 totaled $864.4 million, up 6.6% year-over-year, or 7.0% year-over-year for organic growth. Second quarter fiscal year 2022 net sales in the Specialty Technology Solutions segment increased 9.2% year-over-year to $496.9 million, driven by broad-based demand across technologies. Second quarter fiscal year 2022 net sales in Modern Communications & Cloud increased 3.3% year-over-year, or 3.9% year-over-year for organic growth, to $367.4 million, with Intelisys connectivity and cloud business net sales increasing 14.1% year-over-year.

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 totaled $107.9 million, up 25.4% year-over-year. Gross profit margin increased to 12.5% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, up from 10.6% in the prior-year quarter. The increase is primarily due to sales volume, sales mix and higher supplier sales incentives compared to the prior-year quarter.

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, operating income increased to $31.5 million from $17.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Second quarter fiscal year 2022 non-GAAP operating income increased to $35.9 million for a 4.15% non-GAAP operating income margin, up from $23.8 million for the prior-year quarter.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 totaled $23.2 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. Second quarter fiscal year 2022 non-GAAP net income totaled $26.4 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, up from $16.5 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased to $42.5 million, or 4.92% of net sales, compared to $29.7 million, or 3.67% of net sales in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher gross profits and operating leverage. Return on invested capital increased to 17.6% for second quarter fiscal year 2022, compared to 13.3% in the prior-year quarter.

Naming to FORTUNE Magazine's List of World's Most Admired Companies

In February, ScanSource announced its naming to FORTUNE magazine's 2022 list of World's Most Admired Companies. ScanSource's inclusion in this year's list marks the sixth consecutive year the Company has received the recognition. The annual survey, which is given to thousands of senior executives, directors and financial analysts from more than 600 global companies, identifies the organizations with the strongest reputations within their industries and across other industries.

Annual Financial Outlook for Fiscal Year 2022

ScanSource raises its expectations for the full fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and replaces previously provided guidance.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes estimates for amortization of intangible assets, depreciation expense, and non-cash share-based compensation expense (effective with the first quarter of fiscal year 2022). For comparison, fiscal year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA, excluding share-based compensation, totaled $118 million. 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.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains “forward-looking” statements, including the Company's FY22 outlook, operating strategy, supply chain challenges, capital allocation plans, growth opportunities 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, failure to hire and retain quality employees, risk to the Company's business from a cyber-security attack, the failure to manage and implement the Company's organic growth strategy, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations and financial condition and the potential prolonged economic weakness brought on by COVID-19, 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, 2021, 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.

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, 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, and restructuring costs. Effective with the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, non-cash share-based compensation expense is also added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. 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.

Return on invested capital ("ROIC"): 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 ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance. 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 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.
