PART I―FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1―Financial Statements

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT S

(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, or the Company, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regarding interim financial reporting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or 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, 2023, filed with the SEC. The accompanying unaudited 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, 2023.

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, 2024 may not be indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or the entire year ending December 31, 2024.

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.

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.

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 (loss) income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Included in interest income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income is interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments of $4,655 and $9,220 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $1,874 and $3,182 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents

Treasury Stock, at Cost

The total repurchases for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were recorded as treasury stock of $3,788 and $5,446, respectively. Such costs reflect 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.

Restructuring and Other Charges

The restructuring and other charges recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 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 as of June 30, 2024.

Restructuring and other charges are presented separately from selling, general and administrative expenses. Costs incurred were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This guidance is intended to improve segment reporting disclosures on both an interim and annual basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures through, among other things, enhancement of the disclosure requirements within the rate reconciliation, as well as increased income tax disaggregation disclosures. This ASU is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statement disclosures. 7

Table of Contents

Investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; investments with maturities of greater than 90 days from the date of purchase but less than one year are generally classified as short-term investments; and investments with maturities of one year or greater from the date of purchase are generally classified as long-term investments. All short-term investments had stated maturity dates of less than one year. The Company has recorded the securities at fair value on its condensed 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 the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

●	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 supported by little or no market activities and are based on significant assumptions and estimates.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s investments were all measured using level 1 inputs.

Note 4–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 (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Numerator:
Net income	$	26,161	$	19,697	$	39,315	$	33,895
Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share		26,348		26,256		26,355		26,291
Dilutive effect of employee stock awards		172		109		167		109
Denominator for diluted earnings per share		26,520		26,365		26,522		26,400
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.99	$	0.75	$	1.49	$	1.29
Diluted	$	0.99	$	0.75	$	1.48	$	1.28

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 – Leases

The Company leases certain facilities from a related party, which is a company affiliated with us through common ownership. 10

Note 6–Segment Information

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 segments—the Enterprise Solutions segment, which serves primarily medium-to-large corporations; the Business Solutions segment, which serves primarily small- to medium-sized businesses; 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, information technology, or 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.

Table of Contents Net sales presented below exclude inter-segment product revenues. Segment information applicable to the Company’s operating segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is shown below (in thousands):

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, short-term investments, inventories, property and equipment, ROU assets, and intercompany balance, net. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, total assets for the Headquarters/Other group were presented net of intercompany balance eliminations of $59,751 and $55,432, respectively. The Company’s capital expenditures consist largely of IT hardware and software purchased to maintain or upgrade its 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.

Table of Contents Note 7–Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Note 8–Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, which have arisen during the ordinary course of business. The outcomes of such matters are 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 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 June 30, 2024). 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, or 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, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the agreement governing the credit facility.

Cash receipts are automatically applied against any outstanding borrowings. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company borrowed incremental amounts that were each repaid in full. These borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $10,560 and $67,895, 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 June 30, 2024 or 2023, and accordingly, the entire $50,000 credit facility was available for borrowings on such date.

Table of Contents Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance and include statements concerning, among other things, our future financial results, business plans (including statements regarding new products and services we may offer and future expenditures, costs and investments), liabilities, impairment charges, competition, and the expected impact of current macroeconomic conditions on our businesses and results of operations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. These statements reflect our current views and are based on assumptions as of the date of this report. Such assumptions are based upon internal estimates and other analyses of current market conditions and trends, management expectations, plans, and strategies, economic conditions, and other factors. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from expectations or results projected or implied by forward-looking statements.

Such differences may result from actions taken by us, including expense reduction or strategic initiatives (including reductions in force, capital investments and new or expanded product offerings or services), the execution of our business plans (including our inventory management, cost structure and management and other personnel decisions) or other business decisions, as well as from developments beyond our control, including:

●	substantial competition reducing our market share;
●	significant price competition reducing our profit margins;
---	---
●	the loss of any of our major vendors adversely affecting the number of type of products we may offer;
---	---
●	virtualization of information technology, or IT, resources and applications, including networks, servers, applications, and data storage disrupting or altering our traditional distribution models;
---	---
●	service interruptions at third-party shippers negatively impacting our ability to deliver the products we offer to our customers;
---	---
●	increases in shipping and postage costs reducing our margins and adversely affecting our results of operations;
---	---
●	loss of key persons or the inability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel adversely affecting our ability to operate our business;
---	---
●	cyberattacks or the failure to safeguard personal information and our IT systems resulting in liability and harm to our reputation; and
---	---
●	macroeconomic factors facing the global economy, including disruptions in the capital markets, economic sanctions and economic slowdowns or recessions, rising inflation and changing interest rates reducing the level of investment our customers are willing to make in IT products.
---	---

Additional factors include those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, including under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Business,” in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in the other subsequent filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated, to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the statements are made except as required by law.

Table of Contents OVERVIEW

We are a Fortune 1000 Global Solutions Provider that simplifies the IT customer 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 Organization, or 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. 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 in-country suppliers in over 150 countries.

The “Connection®” brand includes Connection Enterprise Solutions, Connection Business Solutions, and Connection Public Sector Solutions, which provide IT solutions and services to enterprise, small- to medium-sized businesses, 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 inside sales and field sales contacts by sales representatives focused on the business, educational, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, 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, Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Inc., Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft Corporation, 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.

As a value-added reseller in the IT supply chain, we do not manufacture IT hardware or software products. We are dependent on our suppliers—manufacturers and distributors that historically have only sold 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 successfully, eliminate our role. We believe that the success of these direct sales efforts by manufacturers will depend on their ability to meet our customers’ ongoing demands and provide solutions to meet their needs. We believe more of our customers are seeking out comprehensive and integrated IT solutions, rather than the ability to acquire specific IT products on a one-off basis. Our advantage is our ability to be product-neutral and provide a broader combination of products, services, and advice tailored to our customers’ individual 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 TSO, 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 gross margin improvements in this competitive environment.

The primary challenges we continue to face in effectively managing our business are (1) increasing our product and service revenues while at the same time improving our gross margin in all three segments, (2) recruiting, retaining, and improving the productivity of our sales and technical support personnel, and (3) effectively controlling our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses while making major investments in our IT systems and solution selling personnel, especially in relation to changing revenue levels.

To support future growth, we have invested and expect to continue to invest in our IT solutions business, which requires the addition of 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 additional 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.

Table of Contents Market 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 infrastructure 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.

The increase was primarily driven by increases in net sales of desktops, servers/storage, notebooks/mobility, displays and sound, and software of $15.0 million, $10.1 million, $7.6 million, $6.2 million, and $4.5 million, respectively, as shown in the table in Note 2 “Revenue” in the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These increases were partially offset by decreases in net sales of net/com products, other hardware/services, and accessories of $26.3 million, $8.9 million, and $5.3 million, respectively. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 increased year-over-year by $8.7 million, or 6.9%, to $136.5 million as illustrated in the table and the discussion beginning on page 19 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Gross margin increased to 18.5% from 17.4% a year ago. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by changes in customer mix resulting in improved invoice margins, most notably in the notebooks/mobility and desktops product categories. SG&A expenses increased year-over-year by $4.2 million, or 4.2%, to $105.2 million. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 14.3% compared to 13.8% a year ago. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to an increase in personnel costs as shown in the table on page 18 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Operating income for the second quarter of 2024 increased year-over-year both in dollars and as a percentage of net sales by $5.8 million and 80 basis points, respectively, primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit partially offset by the increase in SG&A expenses as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated funds from operations, short-term investments, and borrowings under our credit facility. We have historically used and expect to use in the future 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, repurchases of our common stock for treasury, dividend payments, and as opportunities arise, possible acquisitions of new businesses.

We believe that funds generated from operations, short-term investments, and the available capacity under our credit facility will be sufficient to finance our working capital, capital expenditures, and other requirements for at least the next twelve calendar months and beyond such twelve calendar month period. 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 and beyond through a combination of cash on hand, short-term investments, cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our credit facility, as follows:

●	Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of June 30, 2024, we had $128.2 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Table of Contents

●	Short-term Investments. As of June 30, 2024, we had $257.6 million in short-term investments.

●	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 receivables with changes in payables to generate positive cash flow.

●

Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024, no borrowings were outstanding under our $50.0 million credit facility, which is available until March 31, 2025. Accordingly, our entire line of credit was available for borrowing as of June 30, 2024. This maximum borrowing capacity under our credit facility can be increased, at our option, to up to $80.0 million for approved acquisitions or other uses authorized by the bank. Borrowings are, however, limited by certain minimum collateral and earnings requirements, as described more fully below. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants of our 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.

Dividends

A summary of 2024 dividend activity for our common stock is as follows:


Dividend Amount		****	Declaration Date	****	Record Date	****	Payment Date
$	0.10		February 12, 2024		February 27, 2024		March 15, 2024
$	0.10		April 30, 2024		May 14, 2024		May 29, 2024

On July 31, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.10 per share. The dividend will be paid on August 30, 2024 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 13, 2024. The declaration and payment of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial position, strategic plans, general business conditions and any other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Summary of Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as reflected in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are summarized in the following table (in millions):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	95.7	$	135.4
Net cash used in investing activities		(103.4)		(4.8)
Net cash used in financing activities		(9.0)		(9.5)
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(16.7)	$	121.1

Cash provided by operating activities was $95.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from $39.3 million of net income and a $53.2 million increase in accounts payable. A decrease in accounts receivable of $7.6 million, an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $6.2 million, and depreciation and amortization added back to net income of $6.5 million also contributed to the positive inflow of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These inflows were partially offset by increases in inventory and prepaid expenses, income tax receivable, and other current assets of $12.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The increase in accounts payable was primarily driven by the timing of payments. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from net income adjusted for non-cash charges of $45.4 million, a decrease in inventory of $48.9 million, an increase in accounts payable of $44.6 million, and a decrease in accounts 24

Table of Contents receivable of $16.4 million, partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $13.7 million and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $6.4 million.

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:


	June 30,
(in days)	2024		2023
Days of sales outstanding (DSO)^(1)^		68		68
Days of supply in inventory (DIO)^(2)^		21		24
Days of purchases outstanding (DPO)^(3)^		(48)		(42)
Cash conversion cycle		41		50

(1)	Represents the trade receivable at the end of the quarter divided by average daily net sales for the same three-month period.

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

(3)	Represents the accounts payable balance at the end of the quarter divided by average daily cost of sales for the same three-month period.

The cash conversion cycle decreased to 41 days at June 30, 2024, compared to 50 days at June 30, 2023. The decrease in DIO is consistent with the decrease in inventory for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in DPO is consistent with the increase in accounts payable as of June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of $203.3 million of purchases of U.S. Government treasury securities, $103.3 million of maturities of U.S. Government treasury securities, and $3.4 million of purchases of property and equipment. These property and equipment expenditures were primarily for computer equipment and capitalized internally developed software in connection with investments in our IT infrastructure. In the prior year period, we made similar property and equipment investments of $4.8 million.

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of $10.6 million of aggregate borrowings and repayments, $3.6 million of treasury purchases, $5.3 million of dividend payments, $0.5 million of issuances of stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and $0.6 million payments of payroll taxes on stock-based compensation through shares withheld. In the prior year period, financing activities primarily consisted of $5.4 million of treasury purchases, $4.2 million of dividend payments, $0.5 million of issuances of stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and $0.5 million payments of payroll taxes on stock-based compensation through shares withheld.

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 credit facility, 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 2025 and is collateralized by our accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2024, our borrowing capacity under the credit facility was up to $50.0 million. Amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at the greatest of (i) the prime rate (8.50% at June 30, 2024), (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) the daily BSBY Rate, plus 1.00% per annum, provided that the rate shall at no time be less than 0% per annum. In addition, we have the ability to increase our borrowing capacity under the credit facility up to an additional $30.0 million provided that 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 borrowings outstanding under the credit facility as of June 30, 2024. 25

Table of Contents

Cash receipts are automatically applied against any outstanding borrowings. Any excess cash on account may either remain on account to generate earned credits to offset up to 100% of cash management fees, or may be invested in short-term qualified investments. Borrowings under the credit facility are classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024, the entire $50.0 million facility was available for borrowing.

Operating Leases. We lease facilities from a related party, which is a company affiliated with us through common ownership, and facilities from third parties under non-cancelable operating leases. Certain leases require us to pay real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance charges. See “Item 2. Properties” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information regarding our operating leases.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting our internally generated funds are our ability to manage costs and fully achieve our operating efficiencies, timely collection of our customer receivables, and management of our inventory levels.

Credit Facility. Our credit facility extends until March 2025 and is collateralized by our accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2024, the entire $50.0 million facility was available for borrowing. 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 would constitute a default and could prevent us from borrowing additional funds under this line of credit. This credit facility contains two financial tests:

●

The funded debt ratio (defined as the average outstanding advances under the line for the quarter, divided by the consolidated trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA) must not be more than 2.0 to 1.0. Such amount was calculated as 0.0 to 1.0 at June 30, 2024, and accordingly, the funded debt ratio did not limit potential borrowings as of June 30, 2024. Future decreases in our consolidated trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA could limit our potential borrowings under the line of credit.

●

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 $622.7 million at June 30, 2024, whereas our actual consolidated stockholders’ equity at that date was $874.9 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 IT 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.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not materially changed from those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently issued financial accounting standards are detailed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” in the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE S ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a description of our market risks, see Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. No material changes related to our market risks have occurred since December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURE S

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. 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 a 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. Our 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, our 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 were no changes 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, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
