PC CONNECTION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

PART I―FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1―Financial Statements

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1–Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PC Connection, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such principles were applied on a basis consistent with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods reported and of the Company’s financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of these financial statements. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 may not be indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or the entire year ending December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts and disclosures of revenue and expenses during the period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on the information available at the time and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. This ASU is applied prospectively and becomes effective immediately upon the transition from LIBOR. The Company’s secured credit facility agreement references LIBOR, which is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. The optional amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company, but does not believe the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3–Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributable to non-vested stock units and stock options outstanding, if dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Table of Contents

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no outstanding non-vested stock units that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

Note 5–Segment Information

The internal reporting structure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and allocate resources determines the basis for the Company’s reportable operating segments. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, and he evaluates operations and allocates resources based on a measure of operating income.

The Company’s operations are organized under three reportable segments—the Business Solutions segment, which serves primarily small- and medium-sized businesses; the Enterprise Solutions segment, which serves primarily medium-to-large corporations; and the Public Sector Solutions segment, which serves primarily federal, state, and local governmental and educational institutions. In addition, the Headquarters/Other group provides services in areas such as finance, human resources, information technology, marketing, and product management. Most of the operating costs associated with the Headquarters/Other group functions are charged to the operating segments based on their estimated usage of the underlying functions. The Company reports these charges to the operating segments as “Allocations.” Certain headquarters costs relating to executive oversight and other fiduciary functions that are not allocated to the operating segments are included under the heading of Headquarters/Other in the tables below.

The assets of the Company’s three operating segments presented above consist primarily of accounts receivable, net intercompany receivable, goodwill, and other intangibles. Assets reported under the Headquarters/Other group are managed by corporate headquarters, including cash and cash equivalents, inventories, property and equipment, ROU assets, and intercompany balance, net. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, total assets for the Headquarters/Other group were presented net of intercompany balance eliminations of $41,439, and $37,457, respectively. The Company’s capital expenditures consist largely of IT hardware and software purchased to maintain or upgrade our management information systems. These information systems serve all of the Company’s segments, to varying degrees, and accordingly, the CODM does not evaluate capital expenditures on a segment-by-segment basis.

Note 6–Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, which have arisen during the ordinary course of business. The outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.

The Company is subject to audits by states on sales and income taxes, employment matters, and other assessments. Additional liabilities for these and other audits could be assessed, but such outcomes are not expected to have a material, adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.

Note 7–Bank Borrowings

The Company has a $50,000 credit facility collateralized by its account receivables that expires March 31, 2025. This facility can be increased, at the Company’s option, to $80,000 for permitted acquisitions or other uses authorized by

Table of Contents

the lender on substantially the same terms. Amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at the one-month LIBOR, plus a spread based on our funded debt ratio, or in the absence of LIBOR, the prime rate (4.75% at June 30, 2022). The credit facility includes various customary financial ratios and operating covenants, including minimum net worth and maximum funded debt ratio requirements, and default acceleration provisions. The credit facility does not include restrictions on future dividend payments. Funded debt ratio is the ratio of average outstanding advances under the credit facility for a given quarter to consolidated trailing twelve months Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Special Charges (Adjusted EBITDA). The maximum allowable funded debt ratio under the agreement is 2.0 to 1.0. Decreases in the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA could limit its potential borrowing capacity under the credit facility. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the agreement governing the credit facility.

During the first half of 2022, the Company borrowed $26,054 under the credit facility, which was fully repaid prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility as of June 30, 2022 or 2021, and accordingly, the entire $50,000 credit facility was available for borrowings on such date.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not based on historical fact are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections and the beliefs and assumptions of management including, without limitation, our expectations with regard to the industry’s rapid technological change and exposure to inventory obsolescence, availability and allocations of goods, reliance on vendor support and relationships, competitive risks, pricing risks, and the overall level of economic activity and the level of business investment in information technology products. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “seek,” “plan,” “intend,” or similar terms, variations of such terms, or the negative of those terms. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be accomplished. The following is a list of some, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated:

we have experienced variability in sales and may not be able to maintain profitable operations;
substantial competition could reduce our market share and may negatively affect our business;
we face and will continue to face significant price competition, which could result in a reduction of our profit margins;
the spread of COVID-19 and the imposition of related public health measures and restrictions have, and may in the future, further materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
instability in economic conditions and government spending may adversely affect our business and reduce our operating results;
disruptions impacting the global supply chain, including those attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine;
the loss of any of our major vendors could have a material adverse effect on our business;
virtualization of IT resources and applications, including networks, servers, applications, and data storage may disrupt or alter our traditional distribution models;
the methods of distributing IT products are changing, and such changes may negatively impact us and our business;
we depend heavily on third-party shippers to deliver our products to customers and would be adversely affected by a service interruption by these shippers;
we may experience increases in shipping and postage costs, which may adversely affect our business if we are not able to pass such increases on to our customers;
we may experience a reduction in the incentive programs offered to us by our vendors;
should our financial performance not meet expectations, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings for impairment of goodwill and other intangibles;
we are exposed to inventory obsolescence due to the rapid technological changes occurring in the IT industry;

13

Table of Contents

we are exposed to accounts receivable risk and if customers fail to timely pay amounts due to us our business, results of operations and/or cash flows could be adversely affected;
we are dependent on key personnel and, more generally, skilled personnel in all areas of our business and the loss of key persons or the inability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel could adversely impact our business;
cyberattacks or the failure to safeguard personal information and our information technology systems could result in liability and harm our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.
we are exposed to risks from legal proceedings and audits, which may result in substantial costs and expenses or interruption of our normal business operations.
the failure to comply with our public sector contracts could result in, among other things, fines or liabilities; and
we are controlled by one principal stockholder

These risks have the potential to impact the recoverability of the assets recorded on our balance sheets, including goodwill or other intangibles. Additionally, many of these risks are currently amplified by and may, in the future, continue to be amplified by the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot assure investors that our assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, financial condition, and results of operations, that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We therefore caution you against undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements include those discussed in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was first filed. We undertake no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

OVERVIEW

We are a Fortune 1000 Global Solutions Provider that simplifies the information technology, or IT, purchasing experience, guiding the connection between people and technology. Our dedicated account managers partner with customers to design, deploy, and support cutting-edge IT environments using the latest hardware, software, and services. We provide a wide range of IT solutions, from the desktop to the cloud—including computer systems, data center solutions, software and peripheral equipment, networking communications, and other products and accessories that we purchase from manufacturers, distributors, and other suppliers. Our Technology Solutions Group, or TSG, and state-of-the-art Technology Integration and Distribution Center, or TIDC, with ISO 9001:2015 certified technical configuration lab offer end-to-end services related to the design, configuration, and implementation of IT solutions. Our team also provides a comprehensive portfolio of managed services and professional services. These services are performed by our personnel and by third-party providers. Our GlobalServe offering ensures worldwide coverage for our multinational customers, delivering global procurement solutions through our network of incountry suppliers in over 150 countries.

The “Connection®” brand includes Connection Business Solutions, Connection Enterprise Solutions, and Connection Public Sector Solutions, which provide IT solutions and services to small- to medium-sized businesses, or SMBs, enterprise, and public sector markets.

Financial results for each of our segments are included in the financial statements attached hereto. We generate sales through (i) outbound telemarketing and field sales contacts by sales representatives focused on the business, educational, healthcare, and government markets, (ii) our websites, and (iii) direct responses from customers responding to our advertising media. We offer a broad selection of over 460,000 products at competitive prices, including products from vendors like Apple, Cisco Systems, Dell, Dell-EMC, Hewlett-Packard Inc., Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, Microsoft, and VMware, and we partner with more than 2,500 suppliers. We are able to leverage our state-of-the art logistic capabilities to rapidly ship product to customers.

Table of Contents

As a value-added reseller in the IT supply chain, we do not manufacture IT hardware or software. We are dependent on our suppliers—manufacturers and distributors that historically have sold only to resellers rather than directly to end users. However, certain manufacturers have, on multiple occasions, sold or attempted to sell directly to our customers, and in some cases, have restricted our ability to sell their products directly to certain customers, thereby attempting to and, in some cases, eliminate our role. We believe that the success of these direct sales efforts by suppliers will depend on their ability to meet our customers’ ongoing demands and provide objective, unbiased solutions to meet their needs. We believe more of our customers are seeking comprehensive IT solutions, rather than simply the acquisition of specific IT products. Our advantage is our ability to be product-neutral and provide a broader combination of products, services, and advice tailored to customer needs. By providing customers with customized solutions from a variety of manufacturers, we believe we can mitigate the negative impact of continued direct sales initiatives from individual manufacturers. Through the formation of our TSG, we are able to provide customers complete IT solutions, from identifying their needs, to designing, developing, and managing the integration of products and services to implement their IT projects. Such service offerings carry higher margins than traditional product sales. Additionally, the technical certifications of our service engineers permit us to offer higher-end, more complex products that generally carry higher gross margins. We expect these service offerings and technical certifications to continue to play a role in sales generation and improve gross margins in this competitive environment.

To support future growth, we continue to expand our IT solutions business, which requires highly skilled service engineers. Although we expect to realize the ultimate benefit of higher-margin service revenues under this multi-year initiative, we believe that our cost of services will increase as we add service engineers. If our service revenues do not grow enough to offset the cost of these headcount additions, our operating results may be negatively impacted.

Market and economic conditions and technology advances significantly affect the demand for our products and services. Virtual delivery of software products and advanced Internet technology providing customers enhanced functionality have substantially increased customer expectations, requiring us to invest on an ongoing basis in our own IT development to meet these new demands.

Our investments in IT infrastructure are designed to enable us to operate more efficiently and provide our customers enhanced functionality.

EFFECTS OF COVID-19

As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve, it is difficult to predict and forecast the impact it might have on our business and results of operations in the future. During the quarter, we saw pockets of improvement in the supply chain which resulted in a slight decrease in our backlog sequentially although still higher than a year ago. The overall supply chain remains challenged, and we expect this to continue through at least the balance of the year. In response to the delays in acquiring products, we increased our inventory levels during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to alleviate some of our customers’ concerns associated with the global supply chain challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor the effects on our customers, suppliers, and the economy as a whole and will continue to adjust our business practices, as necessary, to respond to the changing demand for, and supply of, our products.

Net sales of $828.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 reflected an increase of $124.3 million, or 17.7% compared to the second quarter of 2021, which was driven by higher net sales across all three of our business segments. The increase in net sales was primarily due to continued strong demand for workplace solutions driven by a hybrid return to office. This trend is also driving growth in datacenter and cloud transformation. Gross profit increased year-over-year by $20.6 million, or 17.7%, to $136.9 million, primarily due to the changes in product mix and increases in total net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) increased year-over-year by $9.6 million, or 10.3%, to $102.1 million. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to an increase in personnel cost of $6.5 million associated with an investment in incremental headcount focused on building stronger marketing and technical organizations and an increase in variable compensation due to higher levels of gross profit. The higher SG&A expenses were also attributable to an increase in marketing expenses of $2.4 million. Operating income in the second quarter of 2022 increased year-over-year both in dollars and as a percentage of net sales by $11.0 million and 80 basis points, respectively, primarily as a result of the increase in net sales.

Net sales increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, as explained by the year-over-year changes discussed below:

Net sales of $348.9 million for the Enterprise Solutions segment reflect an increase of $41.7 million, or 13.6%. Our mobility and desktop products experienced increases in net sales of $22.9 million and $13.7 million, respectively, associated with our customers’ hybrid work initiatives. We also saw increases in net sales of accessories and displays and sound of $13.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively. Those increases were offset by the decreases in net sales of servers/storage of $15.2 million.

Net sales of $328.4 million for the Business Solutions segment reflect an increase of $61.1 million, or 22.9%. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by strong demand for work-from-anywhere solutions of notebooks/mobility and desktop products resulting in increased net sales of $28.1 million as a result of the shift

17

Table of Contents

to the hybrid work environment. The net sales of servers/storage, accessories, software, and displays and sound products also increased by $8.6 million, $8.2 million, $6.5 million, and $5.1 million, respectively.

Net sales of $151.2 million for the Public Sector Solutions segment reflect an increase of $21.5 million, or 16.5%. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by strong demand in the K-12 vertical market due to the ECF (Emergency Connectivity Fund). The increase in net sales is also attributable to the infrastructure stimulus bill allocating funds for technology purchases. Sales to state and local government and educational institutions increased by 24.8%, compared to the prior year quarter, while sales to the federal government decreased by 18.6%. Net sales of accessories, displays and sound, desktops products and notebooks/mobility products increased by $6.6 million, $6.5 million, $4.7 million, and $4.7 million, respectively.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 increased year-over-year in dollars while remaining flat as a percentage of net sales (gross margin), as explained by the year-over-year changes discussed below:

Gross profit for the Enterprise Solutions segment increased primarily as a result of the 13.6% increase in net sales. Gross margin decreased by 80 basis points primarily due to changes in product mix as compared to the prior year.

Gross profit for the Business Solutions segment increased primarily due to a 22.9% increase in net sales. Gross margin percentage increased by 75 basis points primarily due to changes in product mix as compared to the prior year.

Gross profit for the Public Sector Solutions segment increased as a result of a 16.5% increase in net sales. Gross margin percentage decreased by 12 basis points primarily due to a shift in both customer and product mix as compared to the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2022 increased in dollars but decreased as a percentage of net sales compared to the second quarter of 2021. SG&A expenses attributable to our three segments and the remaining unallocated Headquarters/Other group expenses are summarized in the table below (dollars in millions):

SG&A expenses for the Enterprise Solutions segment increased in dollars as well as a percentage of net sales. The year-over-year change in SG&A dollars was primarily attributable to the higher allocation use of Headquarter services due to increased use of shared Headquarter services. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 10.1% for the Enterprise Solutions segment in the second quarter of 2022, which reflects an increase of 150 basis points and is a result of net sales growing at a lower rate than operating expenses when compared with the same period a year ago.

SG&A expenses for the Business Solutions segment increased in dollars but decreased as a percentage of net sales year-over-year. The year-over-year change in SG&A dollars was driven primarily by a $0.9 million increase in personnel cost, primarily due to an increase in variable compensation expense associated with higher gross profit. This year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses was also attributable to higher advertising costs of $1.7 million compared to the same period last year. Those increases were partially offset by a $2.2 million decreased use of shared Headquarter services. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.2% for the Business Solutions segment in the second quarter of 2022, which reflects a decrease of 280 basis points and was primarily due to higher sales in the quarter compared with the same period a year ago.

Table of Contents

SG&A expenses for the Public Sector Solutions segment decreased in dollars as well as a percentage of net sales. The decrease of $0.4 million in SG&A dollars was primarily due to the decreased use of shared Headquarter service of $0.9 million, which was partially offset by the increased advertising costs of $0.6 million. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was 13.0% for the Public Sector Solutions segment in the second quarter of 2022, which reflects a decrease of 250 basis points and was primarily due to higher sales in the quarter compared with the same period a year ago.

SG&A expenses for the Headquarters/Other group increased by $0.9 million. primarily due to an increase in unallocated executive oversight costs year-over-year. This increase was primarily driven by the increased variable compensation costs resulting from the higher gross profit during the current year. The Headquarters/Other group provides services to the three segments in areas such as finance, human resources, IT, marketing, and product management. Most of the operating costs associated with such corporate Headquarters services are charged to the segments based on their estimated allocation usage of the underlying services. The amounts shown in the table above represent the remaining unallocated costs.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2022 increased to $34.8 million, compared to $23.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the increases in net sales and gross profit. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 4.2% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 3.4% for the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher net sales as well as lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.

Income taxes. Our provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2022 was $9.4 million, compared to $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the increases of operating income. Our effective tax rate was 27.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 27.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Net income for the second quarter of 2022 increased to $25.4 million, compared to $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher net sales and gross profit.

Table of Contents

Net sales of $648.8 million for the Business Solutions segment reflect an increase of $135.2 million, or 26.3%.

We experienced increases in net sales of notebooks/mobility products of $61.8 million as a result of the shift to the hybrid work environment. The net sales of displays and sound products, accessories, software, servers/storage, net/com products, and desktops also increased by $18.2 million, $14.6 million, $14.2 million, $10.2 million, $6.3 million, and $5.5 million, respectively.

Net sales of $283.7 million for the Public Sector Solutions segment reflect an increase of $28.7 million, or 11.3%. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by strong demand in the K-12 vertical market due to the ECF (Emergency Connectivity Fund). The increase in net sales is also attributable to the infrastructure stimulus bill allocating funds for technology purchases. Sales to state and local government and educational institutions increased by 20.0%, compared to the prior year quarter, while sales to the federal government decreased by 16.7%.

SG&A expenses for the Enterprise Solutions segment increased in dollars as well as a percentage of net sales. The year-over-year change in SG&A dollars was primarily attributable to the higher allocation use of Headquarter services, primarily due to the increased use of shared Headquarter services. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 10.2% for the Enterprise Solutions segment in the first half of 2022, which reflects an increase of 120 basis points and is a result of net sales growing at a lower rate than operating expenses when compared with the same period a year ago .

Table of Contents

SG&A expenses for the Business Solutions segment increased in dollars but decreased as a percentage of net sales year-over-year. The year-over-year change in SG&A dollars was driven primarily by (i) a $3.1 million increase in personnel cost, primarily due to an increase in variable compensation expense associated with higher gross profit and (ii) higher advertising costs of $2.8 million. Those increases were partially offset by a $3.9 million decrease in the allocation use of Headquarter services. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.1% for the Business Solutions segment in the first half of 2022, which reflects a decrease of 280 basis points and was primarily due to higher sales in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period a year ago.

SG&A expenses for the Public Sector Solutions segment decreased in dollars as well as a percentage of net sales. The decrease of $0.4 million in SG&A dollars was primarily due to the decreased use of shared Headquarter service of $1.6 million, which was partially offset by the increased personnel costs of $1.0 million. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was 13.4% for the Public Sector Solutions segment in the first half of 2022, which reflects a decrease of 170 basis points and was primarily due to higher sales in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period a year ago.

SG&A expenses for the Headquarters/Other group increased by $0.6 million year-over-year primarily due to an increase in unallocated executive oversight costs year-over-year. This increase was primarily driven by the increased variable compensation costs resulting from the higher gross profit during the current year.

Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $64.9 million, compared to $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the increases in net sales and gross profit. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased to 4.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.8% of net sales for the prior year, primarily due to the increase in net sales and the decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales year-over-year.

Income taxes. Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $17.7 million, compared to $10.4 million for the same period of 2021, primarily due to the increases of operating income. Our effective tax rate was 27.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 27.5% for the same period of 2021.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $47.2 million, compared to $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher net sales and gross profit, combined with lower operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, as compared to the same period of 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been internally generated funds from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. We have used those funds to meet our capital requirements, which consist primarily of working capital for operational needs, capital expenditures for computer equipment and software used in our business, special dividend payments, repurchases of common stock for treasury, and as opportunities arise, acquisitions of businesses. Market conditions impact and help determine our strategic use of funds.

We believe that funds generated from operations, together with available credit under our credit facility, will be sufficient to finance our working capital, capital expenditures, and other requirements for the next twelve calendar months and beyond. Our investments in IT systems and infrastructure are designed to enable us to operate more efficiently and to provide our customers enhanced functionality.

We expect to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our credit facility, as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents. At June 30, 2022, we had $94.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Generated from Operations. We expect to generate cash flows from operations in excess of operating cash needs by generating earnings and managing net changes in inventories and payables to generate a positive cash flow.

Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under our $50.0 million credit facility, which is available until March 31, 2025. The credit facility can be increased, at our option, to $80.0 million for approved acquisitions or other uses authorized by the administrative agent. Borrowings are, however, limited by

Table of Contents

certain minimum collateral and earnings requirements, as described more fully below. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

Our ability to continue funding our planned growth, both internally and externally, is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financing, or from other sources of financing, as may be required. While we do not anticipate needing any additional sources of financing to fund our operations at this time, if demand for IT products declines, or our customers are materially adversely impacted by the developing macroeconomic trends characterized by inflation and increased interest rates, our cash flows from operations may be substantially affected.

Summary of Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash over the periods indicated:

Cash used in operating activities was $8.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulted primarily from (i) a $16.6 million increase in inventory, primarily driven by an increase in advanced inventory purchases for anticipated future customer rollouts; (ii) a $38.1 million increase in accounts receivable, primarily driven by increased level of sales in the first six months of 2022 compared to the prior period; and (iii) a $8.0 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities compared to the prior year period. Those cash outflow factors were partially offset by net income $47.2 million; other non-cash charges adding back $10.4 million. Cash provided by operating activities of $31.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to (i) net income $27.5 million; (ii) a $26.8 million decrease in accounts receivable; and (iii) other non-cash charges adding back $9.4 million. Those cash inflow factors were partially offset by a $26.2 million increase in inventory.

In order to manage our working capital and operating cash needs, we monitor our cash conversion cycle, defined as days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable plus days of supply in inventory minus days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable, based on a rolling three-month average. Components of our cash conversion cycle are as follows:

(1) Represents the rolling three-month average of the balance of accounts receivable, net at the end of the period, divided by average daily net sales for the same three-month period. Also incorporates components of other miscellaneous receivables.

(2) Represents the rolling three-month average of the balance of merchandise inventory at the end of the period divided by average daily cost of sales for the same three-month period.

(3) Represents the rolling three-month average of the combined balance of accounts payable-trade, excluding cash overdrafts, and accounts payable-inventory financing at the end of the period divided by average daily cost of sales for the same three-month period.

The cash conversion cycle increased slightly to 58 days at June 30, 2022, compared to 56 days at June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to the 3-day increase of DIO, and partially offset by the 4-day decrease of DSO. The increase of DIO was driven by the increased in advanced inventory purchases due to anticipated future customer rollouts. The decrease of DSO was primarily due to the improved collections in the second quarter of 2022.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represents $4.6 million of purchases of property and equipment. These expenditures were primarily for computer equipment and capitalized internally developed software in connection with investments in our IT infrastructure. In the prior year, we made similar investments of $4.6 million in purchases of property and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of $0.4 million payment of payroll taxes on stock-based compensation through shares withheld. In the prior year period, financing activities primarily represented an $8.4 million payment of a special $0.32 per share dividend.

Debt Instruments, Contractual Agreements, and Related Covenants

Below is a summary of certain provisions of our credit facility and other contractual obligations. For more information about the restrictive covenants in our debt instruments and inventory financing agreements, see “Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity” below. For more information about our obligations, commitments, and contingencies, see our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Credit facility. Our credit facility extends until March 31, 2025 and is collateralized by our accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2022, our borrowing capacity under the credit facility was up to $50.0 million. Amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at the one-month LIBOR, plus a spread based on our funded debt ratio, or in the absence of LIBOR, the prime rate (4.75% at June 30, 2022). We have the option to increase our borrowing capacity under the credit facility by an additional $30.0 million, provided we meet certain additional borrowing requirements and obtain the consent of the administrative agent. Our credit facility is subject to certain covenant requirements which are described below under “Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity.” We did not have any amounts outstanding under the credit facility at June 30, 2022.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Cash Generated from Operations. The key factors affecting our cash generated from operations are our ability to minimize costs, fully achieve our operating efficiencies, timely collect our customer receivables, and manage of our inventory levels.

Credit Facility. Our credit facility extends until March 31, 2025 and is collateralized by our accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. Our credit facility contains certain financial ratios and operational covenants and other restrictions (including restrictions on additional debt, guarantees, and other distributions, investments, and liens) with which we and all of our subsidiaries must comply. Any failure to comply with these covenants and other restrictions would constitute a default and could prevent us from borrowing funds under this credit facility. This credit facility contains two financial tests:

Our funded debt ratio (defined as the average outstanding advances under the credit facility for the quarter, divided by our consolidated trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA—earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and special charges—for the trailing four quarters) must not be more than 2.0 to 1.0. Our outstanding borrowings under the credit facility as of June 30, 2022 were zero, and accordingly, the funded debt ratio did not limit potential borrowings as of June 30, 2022. Future decreases in our consolidated trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, could limit our potential borrowings under the credit facility.

Our minimum consolidated net worth (defined as our consolidated total assets less our consolidated total liabilities) must be at least $346.7 million, plus 50% of consolidated net income for each quarter, beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2016 (loss quarters not counted). Such amount was calculated as $540.4 million at June 30, 2022, whereas our consolidated stockholders’ equity at that date was $732.0 million.

Capital Markets. Our ability to raise additional funds in the capital market depends upon, among other things, general economic conditions, the condition of the information technology industry, our financial performance and stock price, and the state of the capital markets. In addition, market volatility, inflation and interest rate fluctuations may increase our cost of financing or restrict our access to potential sources of future liquidity.

Item 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as described above. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
