SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Dec. 31, 2023
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PC Connection, Inc. is a Fortune 1000 Global Solutions Provider that simplifies the information technology, or IT, customer experience, guiding the connection between people and technology. The Company’s dedicated account managers partner with customers to design, deploy, and support cutting-edge IT environments using the latest hardware, software, and services. The Company provides 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 the Company purchases from manufacturers, distributors, and other suppliers. In 2023, the Company restructured and combined its Technology Solutions Group and Technical Sales Organization into one organization to be referred to as the Technology Solutions Organization, or TSO. The Company’s TSO and state-of-the-art Technology Integration and Distribution Center with ISO 9001:2015 certified technical configuration lab offer end-to-end services related to the design, configuration, and implementation of IT solutions. The Company also provides a comprehensive portfolio of managed services and professional services. These services are performed by the Company’s personnel and by third-party providers. The Company’s GlobalServe offering ensures worldwide coverage for the Company’s multinational customers, delivering global procurement solutions through the Company’s network of in-country suppliers in over 150 countries. The Company operates through three operating segments: ● Connection Enterprise Solutions – serving large enterprise customers ● Connection Business Solutions – serving small to medium-sized businesses, or SMBs ● Connection Public Sector Solutions – serving federal, state, and local government and educational institutions The following is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies: Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PC Connection, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In most instances, when several performance obligations are aggregated into one single transaction, these performance obligations are fulfilled at the same point in time. The Company accounts for an arrangement when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company generally obtains oral or written purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price, which constitutes an arrangement. Revenue is recognized at the amount expected to be collected, net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company generally invoices for its products at the time of shipping, and accordingly there is not a significant financing component included in its arrangements. Cost of Sales and Certain Other Costs Cost of sales includes the invoice cost of the product, direct employee and third-party cost of services, direct costs of packaging, inbound and outbound freight, and provisions for inventory obsolescence, adjusted for discounts, rebates, and other vendor allowances. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of the Company’s cash equivalents approximates fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The majority of payments due from credit card processors and banks for third-party credit card and debit card transactions process within one to five business days. All credit card and debit card transactions that process in less than seven days are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Amounts due from banks for credit card transactions classified as cash equivalents totaled $3,839 and $6,862 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At the time of purchase, the Company determines the appropriate classification of investments based upon its intent with regard to such investments. All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale. The Company classifies investments as short-term when their remaining contractual maturities are one year or less from the balance sheet date, and as long-term when the investment has a remaining contractual maturity of more than one year from the balance sheet date. The Company records investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets. Included in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income is interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments of $9,983 and $1,056 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments was less than $1 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount, net of allowances. Customers are evaluated for their credit worthiness at the time of contract inception and the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on payment history and customer creditworthiness. Based on the results of the credit assessments, the Company will extend credit under its standard payment terms or may request alternative early payment actions. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as its customer credit history and financial condition, industry and market segment information, credit reports, and economic trends and conditions. Allowances can be affected by changes in the industry, customer credit issues or customer bankruptcies or expectations of any such events in a future period when reasonable and supportable. Historical information is utilized beyond reasonable and supportable forecast periods. Amounts are charged against the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing account receivable on an aggregated basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when the Company identifies specific customers with collectability issues, and if necessary, records a reserve against those receivables it determines may not be collectable. Trade receivables are written off in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously charged are recorded when received. Inventories Inventories (all finished goods) are stated at cost (which approximates the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly, and allowances are maintained for obsolete, slow moving, and nonsalable inventory. Advertising Costs and Vendor Consideration Vendors have the ability to fund advertising activities for which the Company receives advertising consideration. This vendor consideration, to the extent that it represents specific reimbursements of incremental and identifiable costs, is offset against selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses. Advertising consideration that cannot be associated with a specific program or that exceeds the fair value of advertising expense associated with that program is classified as an offset to cost of sales. The Company’s vendor partners generally consolidate their funding of advertising and other marketing programs, and accordingly, the Company classifies substantially all vendor consideration as a reduction of cost of sales rather than a reduction of advertising expense. Other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which is classified as a component of SG&A expenses on the consolidated statements of income, totaled $22,400, $20,155, and $15,827 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The estimated useful lives of the assets range from three three Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development stage are recorded in property and equipment at cost. External direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software and payroll-related costs for employees developing internal-use computer software projects, to the extent of their time spent directly on the project and specific to application development, are capitalized. When events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment, the Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment based upon current and anticipated undiscounted cash flows. The Company recognizes impairment when it is probable that such estimated future cash flows will be less than the asset carrying value. No property and equipment impairment was recognized for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Leases The Company enters into operating lease contracts, as assessed at contract inception, primarily for real estate and equipment. On the lease commencement date, the Company records operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future lease payments. In determining the present value of future lease payments, the Company utilized estimated rates that it would have incurred to borrow, over a similar term, the funds necessary to purchase the respective leased asset with cash. The Company elects to apply the short-team lease exception to any leases with contractual obligations of one year or less. These leases will not have right-of-use, or ROU, assets and associated lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Instead, rent will be recognized on a straight-line basis. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company’s intangible assets consist of (1) goodwill, which is not subject to amortization; (2) an internet domain name, which is an indefinite-lived intangible asset not subject to amortization; and (3) amortizing intangibles, which consist of customer lists, trade names, and customer relationships, which are being amortized over their useful lives. Note 4 describes the annual impairment methodology that the Company uses each year in calculating the recoverability of goodwill and non-amortizing intangibles. This same impairment test is performed at other times during the course of a year should an event occur or circumstance change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Recoverability of amortizing intangible assets is assessed only when events have occurred that may give rise to impairment. When a potential impairment has been identified, forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operations to which the asset relates are compared to the current carrying value of the long-lived assets present in that operation. If such cash flows are less than such carrying amounts, long-lived assets including such intangibles, are written down to their respective fair values. No intangible assets impairment was recognized for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Concentrations Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade account receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of total net sales in 2023, 2022, and 2021. Product purchases from Ingram Micro, Inc., TD Synnex Corporation, and Microsoft Corporation accounted for approximately 21%, 19%, and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s total product purchases in 2023. Product purchases from Ingram Micro, Inc., TD Synnex Corporation, and Dell Inc. accounted for approximately 23%, 22%, and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s total product purchases in 2022. Product purchases from Ingram Micro, Inc., TD Synnex Corporation, and Dell Inc. accounted for approximately 23%, 23%, and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s total product purchases in 2021. No other singular vendor supplied more than 10% of the Company’s total product purchases in 2023, 2022, and 2021. The Company believes that, while it may experience some short-term disruption if products from Ingram Micro, Inc., TD Synnex Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Dell Inc., or any of these vendors become unavailable to it, alternative sources are available. Products manufactured by Microsoft Corporation, HP Inc., and Dell Inc. represented approximately 15%, 13%, and 11%, respectively, of our total product purchases in 2023. Products manufactured by HP Inc., Dell Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and Lenovo represented approximately 14%, 13%, 12%, and 11% of our total product purchases in 2022. Products manufactured by HP Inc., Dell Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and Lenovo represented approximately 15%, 14%, 11%, and 10% of our total product purchases in 2021. No other singular product manufacturer produced more than 10% of our total product purchases in 2023, 2022, and 2021. In the event the Company experiences either a short-term or permanent disruption of supply of Microsoft Corporation, HP Inc., or Dell Inc. products, such disruption would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. Restructuring and Other charges The restructuring and other charges recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023 were primarily related to an involuntary reduction in our headquarter workforce and included cash severance and other related termination benefits. These costs will be paid within a year of termination and any unpaid balances are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating additional restructuring activities for 2024 and beyond. Costs incurred for restructuring and other chargers were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Employee separations $ 2,416 $ — $ — Other charges 271 — — Total restructuring and other charges $ 2,687 $ — $ — Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 was $324 related to unpaid employee separation benefits. 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 nonvested stock units and stock options outstanding, if dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data): 2023 2022 2021 Numerator: Net income $ 83,271 $ 89,219 $ 69,906 Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share 26,287 26,279 26,196 Dilutive effect of employee stock awards 142 164 168 Denominator for diluted earnings per share 26,429 26,443 26,364 Earnings per share: Basic $ 3.17 $ 3.40 $ 2.67 Diluted $ 3.15 $ 3.37 $ 2.65 For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not exclude any outstanding nonvested stock units or stock options from the computation of diluted earnings per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

REVENUE

REVENUE	12 Months Ended
REVENUE	Dec. 31, 2023
Revenue
Revenue	2. REVENUE Nature of Products and Services IT products typically represent a distinct performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer which is generally upon delivery to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue as the principal in the transaction with the customer (i.e., on a gross basis), as it controls the product prior to delivery to the customer and derives the economic benefits from the sales transaction given the Company’s control over customer pricing. The Company does not recognize revenue for goods that remain in its physical possession before the customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products, the goods are ready for physical transfer to and identified as belonging to the customer, and when the Company has no ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer. Licenses for on-premise software provide the customer with a right to take possession of the software. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or enter into subscriptions to the licensed software. The Company is the principal in these transactions and recognizes revenue for the on-premise license at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer and the commencement of the term of the software license or when the renewal term begins, as applicable. For certain on-premise licenses for security software, the customer derives substantially all of the benefit from these arrangements through the third-party delivered software maintenance, which provides software updates and other support services. The Company does not have control over the delivery of these performance obligations, and accordingly the Company is the agent in these transactions. The Company recognizes revenue for security software net of the related costs of sales at the point in time when its vendor and customer accept the terms and conditions in the sales arrangement. Cloud products allow customers to use hosted software over the contractual period without taking possession of the software and are provided on a subscription basis. The Company does not exercise control over these products or services and therefore is an agent in these transactions. The Company recognizes revenue for cloud products net of the related costs of sales at the point in time when its vendor and customer accept the terms and conditions in the sales arrangements. Certain software sales include on-premise licenses that are combined with software maintenance. Software maintenance conveys rights to updates, bug fixes and help desk support, and other support services transferred over the underlying contract period. On-premise licenses are considered distinct performance obligations when sold with the software maintenance, as the Company sells these items separately. The Company recognizes revenue related to the software maintenance as the agent in these transactions because it does not have control over the on-going software maintenance service. Revenue allocated to software maintenance is recognized at the point in time when the Company’s vendor and customer accept the terms and conditions in the sales arrangements. Certain of the Company’s larger customers are offered the opportunity by vendors to purchase software licenses and maintenance under enterprise agreements, or EAs. Under EAs, customers are considered to be compliant with applicable license requirements for the ensuing year, regardless of changes to their employee base. Customers are charged an annual true-up fee for changes in the number of users over the year. With most EAs, the Company’s vendors will transfer the license and bill the customer directly, paying resellers, such as the Company, an agency fee or commission on these sales. The Company records these agency fees as a component of net sales as earned and there is no corresponding cost of sales amount. In certain instances, the Company invoices the customer directly under an EA and accounts for the individual items sold based on the nature of each item. The Company’s vendors typically dictate how the EA will be sold to the customer. The Company also offers extended service plans, or ESPs, on IT products, both as part of the initial arrangement and separately from the IT products. The Company recognizes revenue related to ESPs as the agent in the transaction because it does not have control over the on-going ESPs service and does not provide any service after the sale. Revenue allocated to ESPs is recognized at the point in time when the Company’s vendor and customer accept the terms and conditions in the sales arrangement. The Company uses its own engineering personnel to assist in projects involving the design and installation of systems and networks, and also engages third-party service providers to perform warranty maintenance, implementations, asset disposal, and other services. Service revenue is recognized in general over time as the Company performs the underlying services and satisfies its performance obligations. The Company evaluates such engagements to determine whether it is the principal or the agent in each transaction. For those transactions in which the Company does not control the service, the Company acts as an agent and recognizes the transaction revenue on a net basis at a point in time when the vendor and customer accept the terms and conditions in the sales arrangement. All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling, if any, represent revenues earned for the goods provided, and these amounts have been included in net sales. Costs related to shipping and handling billing are classified as cost of sales. Sales are reported net of sales, use, or other transaction taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities. Significant Judgments The Company’s contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products or services to a customer. Determining whether the Company is the agent or the principal and whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. The Company estimates the standalone selling price, or SSP, for each distinct performance obligation when a single arrangement contains multiple performance obligations and the fulfillment occurs at different points in time. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs in the determination of the estimate for SSP for the items that it does not sell separately, including on-premise licenses sold with software maintenance, and IT products sold with ESPs. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. The Company provides its customers with a limited thirty-day right of return, which is generally limited to defective merchandise, and gives rise to variable consideration. Revenue is recognized based on the most likely amount to which it is expected to be entitled. The estimated variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. The Company makes estimates of product returns based on significant historical experience. The Company records its sales return reserve as a reduction of revenues and either as reduction of accounts receivable or, for customers who have already paid, as accrued expenses and as a reduction of cost of sales and an associated right of return asset. Description of Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue from its arrangements with customers by type of products and services, as it believes this method best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following tables represent a disaggregation of revenue from arrangements with customers for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, along with the segment for each category (in thousands).

All short-term investments had stated maturity dates of less than one year. The Company has recorded the securities at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets and unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amount of realized gains and losses reclassified into earnings and the related adjustments to deferred taxes are based on the specific identification of the securities sold or securities that reached maturity date. Fair Value The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or ● Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; ● Level 2 inputs: Observable inputs other than those described as Level 1; and ● Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs that are supportable by little or no market activities and are based on significant assumptions and estimates. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments were all measured using level 1 inputs.

Bank Borrowings	9. 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 the lender on substantially the same terms. Amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at the daily Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index, or BSBY Rate, plus a spread based on the Company’s funded debt ratio, or in the absence of BSBY Rate, the prime rate (8.50% at December 31, 2023). 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 to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Special Charges, or Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum allowable funded debt ratio under the agreement is 2.0 to 1.0. Decreases in the Company’s consolidated twelve months Adjusted EBITDA could limit its potential borrowing capacity under the credit facility. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility. Cash receipts are automatically applied against any outstanding borrowings. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company borrowed incremental amounts that were each repaid in full. These borrowings for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $88,198 and $36,463, respectively; however, at no time were the outstanding borrowings greater than the $50,000 limit under the credit facility. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility as of December 31, 2023 or 2022, and accordingly, the entire $50,000 credit facility was available for borrowings on such date.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Preferred Stock The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”). Under the terms of the Restated Certificate, the Board is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without stockholder approval, to issue by a unanimous vote such shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series. Each such series of Preferred Stock shall have such rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, redemption privileges, and liquidation preferences, as shall be determined by the Board. There were no preferred shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023 or 2022. Share Repurchase Authorization As of December 31, 2017, there was $30,000 authorized for share repurchase. In 2018, the Company’s Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $25,000 in additional share repurchases. In November 2022, the Company’s Board approved a $25,000 increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase authorization, bringing the aggregate size of the share repurchase program to $80,000 as of December 31, 2023. There is no fixed termination date for this repurchase program. Purchases may be made in open-market transactions, block transactions on or off an exchange, or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be based on market conditions and other factors. The Company repurchased 129 shares for $5,446 during the year ended December 31, 2023 under the Board-authorized repurchase program. Such cost reflects the applicable one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. There were no share repurchases during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 2,728 shares for $47,700 under the Board-authorized repurchase program, and the maximum approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the Company’s existing Board-authorized program is $32,300.

The total cash payment of $26,224 was made on December 3, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 18, 2021. Declaration of any future cash dividends will depend upon the Company’s financial position, strategic plans, and general business conditions. Equity Compensation Plan Descriptions In 2007, the Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. In 2010, the Board adopted and the stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), which, among other things, extended the term of the 2007 Plan to 2020. In May 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Plan, which authorized the issuance of up to 1,900 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the 2007 Plan, the Company is authorized, for a ten-year period, to grant options, stock appreciation rights, nonvested stock, nonvested stock units, and other stock-based awards to employees, officers, directors, and consultants. In 2020, the Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which replaces the Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. In May 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2020 Plan, which authorized the issuance of 1,253 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2023, there were 283 shares eligible for future grants under the 2020 Plan. 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In November 1997, the Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”). The Employee Stock Purchase Plan authorizes the issuance of common stock to participating employees. Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, employees are eligible to purchase Company stock at 95% of the purchase price as of the last business day of each six-month offering period. In May 2022, the Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which reserved an aggregate of 1,303 shares of common stock for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, of which 1,221 shares have been purchased as of December 31, 2023. Accounting for Share-Based Compensation The Company measures the grant date fair value of equity awards given to employees and recognizes that cost, adjusted for forfeitures, over the period that services are performed. The Company values grants with multiple vesting periods as a single award, estimates expected forfeitures based upon historical patterns of employee turnover, and records share-based compensation as a component of SG&A expenses.

Recipients of nonvested stock units do not possess stockholder rights. The fair value of nonvested stock units is based on the end of day market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The following table summarizes the Company’s nonvested stock unit activity in 2023 (shares in thousands): Nonvested Stock Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Shares Fair Value Nonvested at January 1, 2023 535 $ 42.44 Granted 107 62.50 Vested (172) 41.93 Canceled (20) 49.36 Nonvested at December 31, 2023 450 47.09 The weighted-average grant-date fair value of nonvested stock units granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $62.50, $53.50, and $46.02, respectively. The total fair value of nonvested stock units that vested in 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $9,700, $7,202, and $5,529, respectively. Unearned compensation cost related to the nonvested portion of outstanding nonvested stock units was $19,592 as of December 31, 2023, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.0 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the nonvested stock units at December 31, 2023, which is calculated based on the positive difference between the fair value of the Company’s stock on December 31, 2023 and the grant price of the underlying awards, was $30,238. Stock Equivalent Units The Company has also previously issued stock equivalent units, or SEUs, which settle in cash and vest ratably over four years, to non-executive employees. The fair value of these liability awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock and is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until the SEUs vest. The Company reports the compensation as a component of SG&A expense on the consolidated statements of income and the related liability as accrued payroll on the consolidated balance sheets. 2023 2022 2021 Units issued — — — Compensation expense $ — $ — $ 425

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, which have arisen during the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company records a liability when it believes that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews each of these legal proceedings to determine whether it is probable, reasonably possible, or remote that a liability has been incurred and, if it is at least reasonably possible, whether a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being a loss and the estimated amount of such loss. Until the final resolution of such matters, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material. The Company expenses legal fees in the period in which they are incurred. 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, and such outcomes could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Segment Information
Segment and Related Disclosures	14. SEGMENT AND RELATED DISCLOSURES The internal reporting structure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, to assess performance and allocate resources determines the basis for the Company’s 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 reporting segments—the Enterprise Solutions segment, which serves primarily medium-to-large corporations; the Business Solutions segment, which serves primarily SMBs; and the Public Sector Solutions segment, which serves primarily federal, state, and local government and educational institutions. In addition, the Headquarters/Other group provides services in areas such as finance, human resources, IT, 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. Net sales presented below exclude inter-segment product revenues. Segment information applicable to the Company’s operating segments for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 is shown below (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Net sales: Enterprise Solutions $ 1,201,131 $ 1,324,361 $ 1,249,459 Business Solutions 1,075,599 1,245,311 1,098,496 Public Sector Solutions 573,914 555,324 544,640 Total net sales $ 2,850,644 $ 3,124,996 $ 2,892,595 Operating income (loss): Enterprise Solutions $ 39,216 $ 53,477 $ 74,653 Business Solutions 76,150 79,475 43,783 Public Sector Solutions 2,177 1,105 (4,928) Headquarters/Other (14,390) (13,505) (16,991) Total operating income 103,153 120,552 96,517 Other income, net 9,961 1,083 5 Income before taxes $ 113,114 $ 121,635 $ 96,522 Selected operating expense: Depreciation and amortization: Enterprise Solutions $ 1,452 $ 1,992 $ 2,408 Business Solutions 628 661 655 Public Sector Solutions 84 78 62 Headquarters/Other 10,490 9,247 9,077 Total depreciation and amortization $ 12,654 $ 11,978 $ 12,202 Total assets: Enterprise Solutions $ 704,577 $ 660,374 Business Solutions 502,739 445,698 Public Sector Solutions 79,384 84,939 Headquarters/Other (98,319) (91,185) Total assets $ 1,188,381 $ 1,099,826 The assets of the Company’s operating segments presented above consist primarily of accounts receivable, net intercompany receivable, goodwill, and other intangibles. Goodwill of $66,236 and $7,366 is held by the Enterprise Solutions and Business Solutions segments, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Assets reported under the Headquarters/Other group are managed by corporate headquarters, including cash, inventory, property and equipment and intercompany balance, net. Total assets for the Headquarters/Other group are presented net of intercompany balances eliminations of $35,522 and $43,679 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s capital expenditures consist largely of IT hardware and software purchased to maintain or upgrade its management information systems. These systems serve all of the Company’s subsidiaries, to varying degrees, and as a result, the CODM does not evaluate capital expenditures on a segment basis. Substantially all of the Company’s sales in 2023, 2022, and 2021 were made to customers located in the United States. Shipments to customers located in foreign countries were not more than 2% of total net sales in 2023, 2022, and 2021. All of the Company’s assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were located in the United States. The Company’s primary target customers are SMBs, medium-to-large businesses, and federal, state, and local government agencies and educational institutions.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2023
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PC Connection, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In most instances, when several performance obligations are aggregated into one single transaction, these performance obligations are fulfilled at the same point in time. The Company accounts for an arrangement when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company generally obtains oral or written purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price, which constitutes an arrangement. Revenue is recognized at the amount expected to be collected, net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company generally invoices for its products at the time of shipping, and accordingly there is not a significant financing component included in its arrangements.
Cost of Sales and Certain Other Costs	Cost of Sales and Certain Other Costs Cost of sales includes the invoice cost of the product, direct employee and third-party cost of services, direct costs of packaging, inbound and outbound freight, and provisions for inventory obsolescence, adjusted for discounts, rebates, and other vendor allowances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments	Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of the Company’s cash equivalents approximates fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The majority of payments due from credit card processors and banks for third-party credit card and debit card transactions process within one to five business days. All credit card and debit card transactions that process in less than seven days are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Amounts due from banks for credit card transactions classified as cash equivalents totaled $3,839 and $6,862 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At the time of purchase, the Company determines the appropriate classification of investments based upon its intent with regard to such investments. All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale. The Company classifies investments as short-term when their remaining contractual maturities are one year or less from the balance sheet date, and as long-term when the investment has a remaining contractual maturity of more than one year from the balance sheet date. The Company records investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets. Included in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income is interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments of $9,983 and $1,056 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments was less than $1 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount, net of allowances. Customers are evaluated for their credit worthiness at the time of contract inception and the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on payment history and customer creditworthiness. Based on the results of the credit assessments, the Company will extend credit under its standard payment terms or may request alternative early payment actions. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as its customer credit history and financial condition, industry and market segment information, credit reports, and economic trends and conditions. Allowances can be affected by changes in the industry, customer credit issues or customer bankruptcies or expectations of any such events in a future period when reasonable and supportable. Historical information is utilized beyond reasonable and supportable forecast periods. Amounts are charged against the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing account receivable on an aggregated basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when the Company identifies specific customers with collectability issues, and if necessary, records a reserve against those receivables it determines may not be collectable. Trade receivables are written off in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously charged are recorded when received.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories (all finished goods) are stated at cost (which approximates the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly, and allowances are maintained for obsolete, slow moving, and nonsalable inventory.
Advertising Costs and Vendor Consideration	Advertising Costs and Vendor Consideration Vendors have the ability to fund advertising activities for which the Company receives advertising consideration. This vendor consideration, to the extent that it represents specific reimbursements of incremental and identifiable costs, is offset against selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses. Advertising consideration that cannot be associated with a specific program or that exceeds the fair value of advertising expense associated with that program is classified as an offset to cost of sales. The Company’s vendor partners generally consolidate their funding of advertising and other marketing programs, and accordingly, the Company classifies substantially all vendor consideration as a reduction of cost of sales rather than a reduction of advertising expense. Other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which is classified as a component of SG&A expenses on the consolidated statements of income, totaled $22,400, $20,155, and $15,827 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The estimated useful lives of the assets range from three three Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development stage are recorded in property and equipment at cost. External direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software and payroll-related costs for employees developing internal-use computer software projects, to the extent of their time spent directly on the project and specific to application development, are capitalized. When events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment, the Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment based upon current and anticipated undiscounted cash flows. The Company recognizes impairment when it is probable that such estimated future cash flows will be less than the asset carrying value. No property and equipment impairment was recognized for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Leases	Leases The Company enters into operating lease contracts, as assessed at contract inception, primarily for real estate and equipment. On the lease commencement date, the Company records operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future lease payments. In determining the present value of future lease payments, the Company utilized estimated rates that it would have incurred to borrow, over a similar term, the funds necessary to purchase the respective leased asset with cash. The Company elects to apply the short-team lease exception to any leases with contractual obligations of one year or less. These leases will not have right-of-use, or ROU, assets and associated lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Instead, rent will be recognized on a straight-line basis.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company’s intangible assets consist of (1) goodwill, which is not subject to amortization; (2) an internet domain name, which is an indefinite-lived intangible asset not subject to amortization; and (3) amortizing intangibles, which consist of customer lists, trade names, and customer relationships, which are being amortized over their useful lives. Note 4 describes the annual impairment methodology that the Company uses each year in calculating the recoverability of goodwill and non-amortizing intangibles. This same impairment test is performed at other times during the course of a year should an event occur or circumstance change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Recoverability of amortizing intangible assets is assessed only when events have occurred that may give rise to impairment. When a potential impairment has been identified, forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operations to which the asset relates are compared to the current carrying value of the long-lived assets present in that operation. If such cash flows are less than such carrying amounts, long-lived assets including such intangibles, are written down to their respective fair values. No intangible assets impairment was recognized for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Concentrations	Concentrations Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade account receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of total net sales in 2023, 2022, and 2021. Product purchases from Ingram Micro, Inc., TD Synnex Corporation, and Microsoft Corporation accounted for approximately 21%, 19%, and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s total product purchases in 2023. Product purchases from Ingram Micro, Inc., TD Synnex Corporation, and Dell Inc. accounted for approximately 23%, 22%, and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s total product purchases in 2022. Product purchases from Ingram Micro, Inc., TD Synnex Corporation, and Dell Inc. accounted for approximately 23%, 23%, and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s total product purchases in 2021. No other singular vendor supplied more than 10% of the Company’s total product purchases in 2023, 2022, and 2021. The Company believes that, while it may experience some short-term disruption if products from Ingram Micro, Inc., TD Synnex Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Dell Inc., or any of these vendors become unavailable to it, alternative sources are available. Products manufactured by Microsoft Corporation, HP Inc., and Dell Inc. represented approximately 15%, 13%, and 11%, respectively, of our total product purchases in 2023. Products manufactured by HP Inc., Dell Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and Lenovo represented approximately 14%, 13%, 12%, and 11% of our total product purchases in 2022. Products manufactured by HP Inc., Dell Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and Lenovo represented approximately 15%, 14%, 11%, and 10% of our total product purchases in 2021. No other singular product manufacturer produced more than 10% of our total product purchases in 2023, 2022, and 2021. In the event the Company experiences either a short-term or permanent disruption of supply of Microsoft Corporation, HP Inc., or Dell Inc. products, such disruption would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
Restructuring and other charges	Restructuring and Other charges The restructuring and other charges recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023 were primarily related to an involuntary reduction in our headquarter workforce and included cash severance and other related termination benefits. These costs will be paid within a year of termination and any unpaid balances are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating additional restructuring activities for 2024 and beyond. Costs incurred for restructuring and other chargers were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Employee separations $ 2,416 $ — $ — Other charges 271 — — Total restructuring and other charges $ 2,687 $ — $ — Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 was $324 related to unpaid employee separation benefits.
Earnings Per Share	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 nonvested stock units and stock options outstanding, if dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data): 2023 2022 2021 Numerator: Net income $ 83,271 $ 89,219 $ 69,906 Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share 26,287 26,279 26,196 Dilutive effect of employee stock awards 142 164 168 Denominator for diluted earnings per share 26,429 26,443 26,364 Earnings per share: Basic $ 3.17 $ 3.40 $ 2.67 Diluted $ 3.15 $ 3.37 $ 2.65 For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not exclude any outstanding nonvested stock units or stock options from the computation of diluted earnings per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect.
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards	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. 31, 2022; however, ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.
