PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ScanSource, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries referred to as “the Company” or “ScanSource”) is a leading hybrid distributor connecting devices to the cloud and accelerating growth for partners across hardware, Software as a Service ("SaaS"), connectivity and cloud. The Company brings technology solutions and services from the world’s leading suppliers of mobility and barcode, point-of-sale ("POS"), payments, networking, physical security, unified communications and collaboration, telecom and cloud services to market. The Company operates primarily in the United States, Canada and Brazil. The Company's two operating segments, Specialty Technology Solutions and Modern Communications & Cloud, are based on technology type and are generally related to (i) technology devices and (ii) communication, connectivity and cloud services, respectively. Some of the offerings of our major suppliers include products that blend technologies and include both technology devices and communication and connectivity and cloud services products. We assign all of the offerings of those suppliers' products to the same segment based on which technology predominates the offering.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders' equity for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Unless otherwise indicated, disclosures provided in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements pertain to continuing operations only.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 from the policies described in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains zero-balance disbursement accounts at various financial institutions at which the Company does not maintain significant depository relationships. Due to the terms of the agreements governing these accounts, the Company generally does not have the right to offset outstanding checks written from these accounts against cash on hand, and the respective institutions are not legally obligated to honor the checks until sufficient funds are transferred to fund the checks. As a result, checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amount of $0.2 million and $8.0 million are included in accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

The Company presents depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense on the condensed consolidated income statements. The Company's depreciation expense related to selling, general and administrative costs totaled $2.7 million and $8.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and $2.6 million and $8.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023. Depreciation expense reported as part of cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated income statements totaled $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023. The Company's intangible amortization expense reported on the condensed consolidated income statements relates to selling, general and administrative costs, not the cost of selling goods. Intangible amortization expense totaled $3.8 million and $12.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and $4.2 million and $12.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

In July 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued final rules that require new and enhanced disclosures on cybersecurity risk management, strategy, governance, and incident reporting. Under the final rules, companies must report a material cybersecurity incident on Form 8-K within four business days of determining that such cybersecurity incident is material. To the extent the nature, scope, timing or the impact of the incident is not determinable at the time such Form 8-K is required to be filed, additional information about the material aspects of the cybersecurity incident must be filed on a Form 8-K/A within four business days after such additional information becomes available. These disclosure requirements on Form 8-K were effective beginning December 18, 2023. For fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2023, companies must disclose their cybersecurity processes, management's role in cybersecurity governance, and cybersecurity oversight by the Board of Directors on Form 10-K.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU updates income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The Company has reviewed other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to its business or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

(2) Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated future expected credit losses resulting from customers’ failure to make payments on accounts receivable due to the Company. The Company has notes receivable with certain customers, which are included in “Accounts receivable, less allowance” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Management determines the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including: (i) historical experience, (ii) aging of the accounts receivable, (iii) specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of its customers, (iv) the current economic and country-specific environment and (v) reasonable and supportable forecasts about collectability. Expected credit losses are estimated on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist using an age-based reserve model. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over the contractual life are recorded at inception and adjusted over the contractual life.

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 are set forth in the table below.

The Company provides technology solutions and services from the leading global suppliers of mobility, barcode, POS, payments, physical security, unified communications, collaboration, telecom and cloud services. This includes hardware, related accessories and device configuration as well as software licenses, professional services and hardware support programs.

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following five-step model: (i) identify contracts with customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue as control of products and services are transferred to customers, which is generally at the point of shipment. The Company delivers products to customers in several ways, including: (i) shipment from a Company warehouse, (ii) drop-shipment directly from the supplier, or (iii) electronic delivery for non-physical products.

The Company is the principal for sales of all hardware and certain software and services. The Company considers itself the principal in those transactions where it has control of the product or service before it is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes the principal-associated revenue and cost of goods sold on a gross basis.

The Company is the agent for third-party service contracts, including product warranties and supplier-hosted software. These service contracts are sold separately from the products, and the Company often serves as the agent for the contract on behalf of the original equipment manufacturer. The Company's responsibility is to arrange for the provision of the specified service by the original equipment manufacturer, and the Company does not control the specified service before it is transferred to the customer. Because the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized net of cost at the time of sale. The Intelisys business operates under an agency model.

For certain transactions, products are sold with a right of return and may also provide other rebates or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates a returns allowance based on historical experience and reduces revenue accordingly. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration for rebates and incentives by using the expected value to be given to the customer and reduces the revenue by those estimated amounts. These estimates are reviewed and updated as necessary at the end of each reporting period.

The Company records contract assets and liabilities for payments received from customers in advance of services performed. These assets and liabilities are the result of the sales of the Company's self-branded warranty programs and other transactions where control has not yet passed to the customer. These amounts are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

The following tables represent the Company's disaggregation of revenue:

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding.

For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024, weighted-average shares outstanding excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive were 164,093 and 755,797, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023, weighted-average shares outstanding excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive were 779,688 and 1,152,714, respectively.

The tax effect of amounts in comprehensive loss reflect a tax expense (benefit) as follows:

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, by reporting segment, are set forth in the table below.

The following table shows changes in the amount recognized for net identifiable intangible assets for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

The following table presents the Company’s debt at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

The Company has a multi-currency senior secured credit facility (as amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and a syndicate of banks (collectively the "Lenders"). On September 28, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Amended Credit Agreement, which includes (i) a five-year, $350 million multicurrency senior secured revolving credit facility and (ii) a five-year $150 million senior secured term loan facility. The Amended Credit Agreement extended the credit facility maturity date to September 28, 2027. In addition, pursuant to an “accordion feature,” the Company may increase its borrowing limit by up to an additional $250 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of the Company and secured by their assets. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, the payment of cash dividends is restricted. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.4 million in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Amended Credit Agreement. These costs were capitalized to other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and added to the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit facility.

Loans denominated in U.S. dollars, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or adjusted daily simple SOFR plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% depending upon the Company’s ratio of (A) total consolidated debt less up to $30 million of unrestricted domestic cash to (B) trailing four-quarter consolidated EBITDA measured as of the end of the most recent year or quarter, as applicable, for which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders (the “leverage ratio”); or (ii) the alternate base rate plus an additional margin ranging from 0% to 0.75%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, plus, if applicable, certain mandatory costs. All swingline loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest based upon the adjusted daily simple SOFR plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% depending upon the Company's leverage ratio, or such other rate as the Company and the applicable swingline lender may agree. The adjusted term SOFR and adjusted daily simple SOFR include a fixed credit adjustment of 0.10% over the applicable SOFR reference rate. Loans denominated in foreign currencies bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable benchmark rate set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio plus, if applicable, certain mandatory costs.

During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024, all of the Company's borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement were U.S. dollar loans. The spread in effect as of March 31, 2024 was 1.25%, plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment

for SOFR-based loans and 0.25% for alternate base rate loans. The commitment fee rate in effect at March 31, 2024 was 0.20%. The Amended Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Leverage Ratio must be less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 at all times. In addition, the Company’s Interest Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) must be at least 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter. In the event of a default, customary remedies are available to the lenders, including acceleration and increased interest rates. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement at March 31, 2024.

On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi warehouse, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032. The bond accrues interest at the one-month term SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% plus a spread of 0.85%. The agreement also provides the bondholder with a put option, exercisable only within 180 days of each fifth anniversary of the agreement, requiring the Company to pay back the bonds at 100% of the principal amount outstanding. At March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this bond. The interest rates at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were 6.28% and 6.11%, respectively.

At March 31, 2024, net debt issuance costs associated with the credit facility and bond totaled $1.3 million and are being amortized on a straight-line basis through the maturity date of each respective debt instrument.

The Company's results of operations could be materially impacted by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In an effort to manage the exposure to these risks, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company's accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company records all derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.

Net foreign currency exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses and are included in other income and expense. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro, and the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar.

On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate, which was amended on September 28, 2022, to change the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $100.0 million, with a $50.0 million tranche that matured on April 30, 2024 and a $50.0 million tranche scheduled to mature April 30, 2026.

On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to lock into a fixed SOFR interest rate with a notional amount of $25 million and a maturity date of March 31, 2028.

These interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the variable rate interest payments on the revolving credit facility. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. To the extent the swaps are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the swaps are not included in current earnings but are reported as other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffective portion to be recorded as an adjustment to earnings for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The components of the cash flow hedge included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, are as follows:

The Company used the following derivative instruments at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, reflected in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the risk management purposes detailed above:

Accounting guidance defines fair value 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. Under this guidance, the Company classifies certain assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy, which aggregates fair value measured assets and liabilities based upon the following levels of inputs:

The assets and liabilities maintained by the Company that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis include deferred compensation plan investments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign currency hedge agreements and interest rate swap agreements. The carrying value of debt is considered to approximate fair value, as the Company’s debt instruments are indexed to a variable rate using the market approach (Level 2).

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s remaining assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2024:

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s remaining assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023:

The investments in the deferred compensation plan are held in a "rabbi trust" and include mutual funds and cash equivalents for payment of non-qualified benefits for certain retired, terminated and active employees. These investments are recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets or other non-current assets depending on their corresponding, anticipated distribution dates to recipients, which are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities, respectively.

The Company is a leading provider of technology solutions and services to customers in specialty technology markets. The Company has two reportable segments, based on technology type.

The Modern Communications & Cloud segment includes the Company’s business in communications and collaboration, connectivity and cloud services. Communications and collaboration solutions, delivered in the cloud, on-premise or hybrid, include voice, video, integration of communication platforms and contact center solutions. The Intelisys connectivity and cloud services include telecom, cable, Unified Communications as a Service, Contact Center as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, Software-Defined Wide-Area Network and other cloud services. This segment includes SaaS and subscription services, which the Company offers using digital tools and platforms. The Company's business operations within this segment primarily are in the United States, Canada and Brazil.

Selected financial information for each business segment is presented below:

(11) Leases

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, at contract inception the Company determines if a contract contains a lease by assessing whether the contract contains an identified asset and whether the Company has the ability to control the asset. The Company also determines if the lease meets the classification criteria for an operating lease versus a

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases and has elected to apply an incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the present value determination, which is based on the Company's cost of borrowings for the relevant terms of each lease and geographical economic factors. Certain operating lease agreements contain options to extend or terminate the lease. The lease term used is adjusted for these options when the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments not based on a rate or index, such as costs for common area maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Further, the Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize all lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, where applicable.

The following table presents amounts recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to operating leases at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023:

The following table presents amounts recorded in operating lease expense as part of selling general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements during the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Operating lease costs contain immaterial amounts of short-term lease costs for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
