Quarterly Sales by Segment:
-
Net sales for the SMB business segment increased by 14.4% to
$218.0 compared to net sales in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in revenues was due to improved SMB customer profits and the related fulfillment of delayed IT replacement needs. -
Net sales for the Large Account segment increased by 7.6% to
$160.7 million compared to sales in the second quarter of 2010. As announced last quarter, we acquired ValCom Technology ("ValCom"), a provider of infrastructure management and onsite managed services to medium-to-large corporations. We have included the operating results forValCom from March 17,2011, the closing date of the acquisition, in this segment. Excluding ValCom's sales for the quarter, Large Account sales would have increased year over year by 2.3%. -
Net sales to government and education customers (Public Sector
segment) were
$119.7 million in the quarter, compared to$120.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. A decrease in federal government sales was largely offset by an increase in higher education sales. -
Net sales to consumers and SOHO customers by PC Connection Express
were
$14 .1 million, compared to$16.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. Profitability and gross margin improvements continue to be the primary focus for this segment in 2011.
Quarterly Sales by Product Mix:
- Notebook and PDA sales, the Company's largest product category, increased by 10% year over year and accounted for 18% of net sales in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010. Higher unit sales for the quarter, associated with the PC refresh, drove the quarterly revenue growth as average selling prices, or ASPs, decreased year over year.
- Desktop/server sales increased by 12% year over year, accounting for 16% of net sales in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010. Desktop sales grew primarily as a result of increased unit sales associated with the PC refresh, as ASPs increased slightly year over year. Server sales decreased year over year by 4% as a result of a delay in enterprise product rollouts.
- Software sales increased by 22%, accounting for 15% of net sales in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 13% in the prior year quarter. The three primary business segments contributed to the year-over-year growth in this product category.
- Accessory/Other sales by grew 15% year over year and accounted for 13% of net sales in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 12% in the prior year quarter. The increase was due largely to ValCom service revenues and increased sales of point-of-sale equipment.
Overall gross profit dollars for the quarter increased by 19%, or
Overall annualized sales productivity was largely unchanged in the
second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. Sales
productivity in the SMB segment increased by 5%, but was offset by
decreases in the Large Account and Public Sector segments of 5% and 1%,
respectively. On a consolidated basis, the total number of sales
representatives was 630 at
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased year over year by 15%, or $7 million, and increased as a percentage of net sales from 9.9% for the second quarter of 2010 to 10.6% for the second quarter of 2011. The year-over-year increase was attributable to investments in solutions sales capabilities, increased variable compensation associated with improved gross profit, increased marketing expenditures, and the inclusion of ValCom's operating costs for the quarter.
"We are pleased by the continued improvement in our profitability and
overall performance," said
