CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “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 (the “Exchange Act”), and are made in reliance upon the protections provided by such acts for forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are not based on historical fact but are based upon numerous assumptions about future conditions that may not occur. Given their forward-looking nature, these statements involve substantial risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “should,” “would,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “potential,” “possible,” “could,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “project,” and similar expressions or by using future dates. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Forward-looking statements are made based upon information that is currently available or management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects upon us, speak only as of the date hereof, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which we later become aware. Actual events, transactions and results may materially differ from the anticipated events, transactions, or results described in such statements. Our ability to consummate such transactions and achieve such events or results is subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the matters set forth below:

financial losses resulting from national and international political instability fostering uncertainty and volatility in the global economy including changes in interest rates, tariffs, inflation, export requirements applicable to products we sell, sanctions and exposure to foreign currency rate changes;

supply chain issues, including a shortage of IT component parts and products, and our vendors’ rapid and unpredictable price fluctuations relating thereto, or a customer’s or vendor’s cancellation of orders such as for, but not limited to, memory chips. These issues may increase our and the customer’s costs, decrease gross profit, cause a delay in fulfilling or inability to fulfill customer orders, increase our need for working capital, delay completing professional services, or purchase IT products or services needed to support our internal infrastructure or operations, resulting in an adverse impact on our financial results;

significant adverse changes in our relationship with one or more of our larger customer accounts or vendors, including decreased account profitability, reductions in contracted services, or a loss of such relationships;

increases to our costs including wages and our ability to increase our prices to our customers as a result, or we experience negative financial impacts due to the pricing arrangements we have with our customers;

a material decrease in the credit quality of our customer base, or a material increase in our credit losses;

reliance on third parties to perform some of our service obligations to our customers, and the reliance on a small number of key vendors in our supply chain with whom we do not have long-term supply agreements, guaranteed price agreements, or assurance of stock availability;

the possibility of a reduction of vendor incentives provided to us;

our inability to identify merger and acquisition candidates, perform sufficient due diligence prior to completing mergers and acquisitions, successfully integrate a completed merger and/or acquisition, successfully complete merger and acquisition transactions, including on favorable terms, or identify an opportunity for or successfully completing a business disposition;

our ability to remain secure during a cybersecurity attack or other information technology (“IT”) outage, including disruptions in our, our vendors or a third party’s IT systems and data and audio communication networks;

ability to secure our own and our customers’ electronic and other confidential information, while maintaining compliance with evolving data privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations and appropriately providing required notice and disclosure of cybersecurity incidents when and if necessary;

our dependence on key personnel to maintain certain customer relationships, and our ability to hire, train, and retain sufficient qualified personnel by recruiting and retaining highly skilled, competent personnel with needed vendor certifications;

risks relating to artificial intelligence (“AI”), including the use or capabilities of AI and emerging laws, rules and regulations related to AI;

our ability to manage a diverse product set of solutions, including AI products and services, in highly competitive markets with a number of key vendors;

changes in the IT industry and/or rapid changes in product offerings, including the proliferation of the cloud, infrastructure as a service (“IaaS”), software as a service (“SaaS”), platform as a service (“PaaS”), and AI which may affect our financial results;

our ability to increase our total number of customers and our ability to increase our total number of customers who use our managed services and professional services while we continuously enhance our managed services offerings to remain competitive in the marketplace;

ongoing remote work trends, and the increase in cybersecurity attacks that have occurred while employees work remotely and our ability to adequately train our personnel to prevent a cyber event;

exposure to changes in, interpretations of, or enforcement trends in, and customer and vendor actions in anticipation of or response to, legislation and regulatory matters;

our service agreements may require external audits and deficiencies identified in any such audit reports could negatively affect our client engagements, and our professional and liability insurance policies coverage may be insufficient to cover a claim;

a natural disaster or other adverse event at one of our primary configuration centers, data centers, or a third-party provider or vendor location could negatively impact our business;

failure to comply with public sector contracts, or related applicable laws or regulations;

our ability to raise capital, maintain or increase, as needed, our lines of credit with vendors or our floor plan facility, or the effect of those matters on our common stock price;

our ability to predictably meet expectations of the investor and analyst community, including relative to our financial performance guidance that we provide;

our ability to implement comprehensive plans for the integration of sales forces, cost containment, asset rationalization, systems integration, and other key strategies following mergers and acquisitions; and

our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and successfully defend any challenges to the validity of our patents or allegations that we are infringing upon any third-party patents, and the costs associated with those actions, and, when appropriate, the costs associated with licensing required technology.

We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address these and other challenges, risks, and uncertainties. For a further list and description of various risks, relevant factors, and uncertainties that could cause future results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, see Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections contained elsewhere in this report, as well as other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS — Our company was founded in 1990 and is a Delaware corporation. ePlus inc. is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “we,” “our,” “us,” or “ePlus.” ePlus inc. is a holding company that through its subsidiaries provides information technology (“IT”) solutions which enable organizations to optimize their IT environment and supply chain processes. We also provide consulting, professional, and managed services and complete lifecycle management services. We focus on selling to medium and large enterprises and state and local government and educational institutions (“SLED”) in the United States (“US”) and select international markets including the United Kingdom (“UK”), the European Union (“EU”), India, and Singapore.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION — The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ePlus inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounts of businesses acquired are included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

SALE OF OUR FINANCING BUSINESS — On June 30, 2025, we completed the sale of 100% of the membership interests of Expo Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“HoldCo”), to Marlin Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (d/b/a PEAC Solutions) pursuant to the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated June 20, 2025 (the “Sale Transaction”). By selling HoldCo, together with its U.S. subsidiaries, we sold our domestic financing business that comprised most of our financing business segment, which is a business that finances information technology equipment, software and related services for customers. We continue to own the international entities in the financing business. This divestiture positions us to focus on being a technology solutions provider and represents a strategic shift in our operations. As a result of the Sale Transaction, we determined that the domestic financing business that was sold met the definition of discontinued operations. Consequently, for all periods presented in these financial statements, we are retrospectively presenting the results of our domestic financing business as discontinued operations. In our unaudited consolidated balance sheets for all periods, we present the assets and liabilities of our domestic financing business as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. In our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for all periods, we present the operating results of our domestic financing business in earnings from discontinued operations. After the sale, our remaining three reportable segments are product, professional services, and managed services, which we formerly referred to collectively as our technology business. Refer to Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” for additional information on the transaction and its effect on our financial statements.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, were prepared by us and include all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, changes in comprehensive income, and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, or any other future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for annual financial statements. Our audited consolidated financial statements are contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”). On January 26, 2026, we filed with the SEC a current report on Form 8-K, which recasts prior period financial information and related disclosures in certain portions of our 2025 Annual Report to present the operations of the domestic financing business as discontinued operations separately from our continuing operations (the “Recast Financial Statements”). The 2025 Annual Report and the Recast Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with these interim consolidated financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual values, vendor consideration, goodwill and intangible assets, allowance for credit losses, inventory obsolescence, and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and other provisions and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

As of December 31, 2025, our accounts receivable includes $0.2 million that is due from a financing partner in payment for our sale of customer receivables to them. Additionally, within other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet, we have $45.9 million in receivables recognized from contracts with customers that we intend to sell to this financing partner.

CONTRACT LIABILITIES

Contract liabilities represent our obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which we have received consideration, or the amount is due from the customer. Our contract liabilities consist of our deferred revenue and deferred revenue—long-term in our consolidated balance sheets. Revenues recognized from the beginning contract liability balance were $26.2 million and $102.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $24.8 million and $97.3 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 30, 2025, we completed the sale of HoldCo, thereby selling our domestic financing business. In the Sale Transaction, we received net cash proceeds of $156.7 million, consisting of cash proceeds of $180.1 million less cash transferred of $23.4 million, recognized a receivable of $7.8 million related to a post-closing adjustment process based on the book value of the assets associated with HoldCo and other adjustments, and recognized a receivable for contingent consideration of $13.5 million. See Note 13, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for a discussion of our contingent consideration asset. We incurred approximately $4.0 million in transaction costs during our quarter ended June 30, 2025, which is netted against the gain on sale of HoldCo before income taxes. In connection with the sale, we entered into a transition services agreement, pursuant to which ePlus and PEAC Solutions will provide certain transition services to each other after the sale. In December 2025, we paid $2.3 million to settle a legal matter related to our discontinued operations. As a result of this settlement, we recognized a gain of $2.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025 due to releasing a contingent liability of $4.6 million for this matter that we had originally recognized in our results for the three months ended September 30, 2025. We recognized the original charge and the benefit from the settlement in our results from discontinued operations.

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL

The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

Product Professional<br> Services Managed<br> Services Total
Balance, March 31, 2025 (1) $ 129,177 $ 63,779 $ 9,902 $ 202,858
Foreign currency translations 54 10 5 69
Balance, December 31, 2025 (1) $ 129,231 $ 63,789 $ 9,907 $ 202,927

(1)

Balance is net of $4,644 thousand in accumulated impairments that were recorded in a segment that preceded our current segment organization.

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets that are individually identified and separately recognized in business combinations.

The only activity in our goodwill balance over the nine months ended December 31, 2025, was foreign currency translation adjustments.

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of our third fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

In our annual test as of October 1, 2025, we performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill and concluded that, more likely than not, the fair value of our product, professional services, and managed services reporting units continued to exceed their carrying value.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Our other intangible assets consist of purchased intangible assets and capitalized software development.

The following table provides the composition of our purchased intangible assets as of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025 (in thousands):

December 31, 2025 March 31, 2025
Gross<br> carrying<br> amount Accumulated amortization Net<br> carrying<br> amount Gross<br> carrying<br> amount Accumulated amortization Net<br> carrying<br> amount
Customer relationships $ 167,166 $ (108,066 ) $ 59,100 $ 167,093 $ (93,085 ) $ 74,008
Trade names and other 11,476 (4,474 ) 7,002 11,459 (3,500 ) 7,959
Total purchased intangible assets $ 178,642 $ (112,540 ) $ 66,102 $ 178,552 $ (96,585 ) $ 81,967

Our customer relationships, trade names, and other purchased intangibles are generally amortized between 5 to 10 years.

Total amortization expense for other intangible assets was $5.0 million and $15.9 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $6.0 million and $14.2 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

7. CREDIT FACILITY

We finance the operations of our subsidiaries ePlus Technology, inc. and ePlus Technology Services, inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) through a credit facility with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (“WFCDF”). The WFCDF credit facility (the “WFCDF Credit Facility”) has a floor plan facility and a revolving credit facility.

Our credit facility is provided by a syndicate of banks for which WFCDF acts as administrative agent and consists of a discretionary senior secured floor plan facility in favor of the Borrowers in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, together with a sublimit for a revolving credit facility for up to $200.0 million. On June 20, 2025, the WFCDF Credit Facility was amended in anticipation of the sale of the financing business. The substantive terms of the WFCDF Credit Facility were not materially changed by such amendment.

Under the accounts payable floor plan facility, we had an outstanding balance of $133.2 million and $89.5 million as of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. On our balance sheet, our liability under the accounts payable floor plan facility is presented as accounts payable – floor plan.

We use the floor plan to facilitate the purchase of inventory from designated suppliers. WFCDF pays our suppliers and provides us with extended payment terms. We pay down the floor plan facility on three specified dates each month, generally 45 to 60 days from the invoice date. Other than unused line fees, if applicable, we do not incur any interest or other incremental expenses for the floor plan facility. We are not involved in establishing the terms or conditions of the arrangements between our suppliers and WFCDF.

We may use the revolving credit facility for our borrowing needs. We did not have any outstanding balances under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2025, or March 31, 2025.

The amount of principal available is subject to a borrowing base determined by, among other things, the Borrowers’ accounts receivable and inventory, each pursuant to a formula and subject to certain reserves. Loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR Rate plus a Term SOFR Adjustment of 0.10% plus an Applicable Margin of 1.75%.

Our borrowings under the WFCDF Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Borrowers. Additionally, the WFCDF Credit Facility requires a guaranty of $10.5 million by ePlus inc.

Under the WFCDF Credit Facility, the Borrowers are restricted in their ability to pay dividends to ePlus inc. unless their available borrowing meets certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, their available borrowing met the thresholds such that there were no restrictions on their ability to pay dividends.

The WFCDF Credit Facility has an initial one-year term, which automatically renews for successive one-year terms thereafter. However, either the Borrowers or WFCDF may terminate the WFCDF Credit Facility at any time by providing a written termination notice to the other party no less than 90 days prior to such termination.

The loss of the WFCDF Credit Facility could have a material adverse effect on our future results as we currently rely on this facility and its components for daily working capital and liquidity for our business and as an operational function of our accounts payable process.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business and have not been fully resolved. The ultimate outcome of any litigation or other legal dispute is uncertain. When a loss related to a legal proceeding or claim is probable and reasonably estimable, we accrue our best estimate for the ultimate resolution of the matter. If one or more legal matters are resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts above our expectations, our financial condition and operating results for that period may be adversely affected. As of December 31, 2025, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for these proceedings and matters, if any, has been incurred. Any outcome, whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current, or future transactions or events.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalents during each period.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted net income per common share as disclosed on our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December, 2025, and 2024, respectively (in thousands, except per share data).

10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN

On August 7, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 1,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock, over a 12-month period beginning August 11, 2025. Previously, on May 18, 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 1,250,000 shares of our outstanding common stock over a 12-month period that began on May 28, 2024 and terminated on May 27, 2025. Under each authorized share repurchase program, when such program is in place, we may make purchases from time to time in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability and the plan terms. Any repurchased shares have the status of treasury shares and may be used, when needed, for general corporate purposes.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we purchased 272,900 shares of our outstanding common stock at a value of $21.0 million under the share repurchase plan; we also purchased 47,488 shares of common stock at a value of $3.3 million to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of employees’ restricted stock.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we purchased 380,522 shares of our outstanding common stock at a value of $30.0 million under the share repurchase plan; we also purchased 52,450 shares of common stock at a value of $3.8 million to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of employees’ restricted stock.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED PLANS

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we had share-based awards outstanding under the following plans: (1) the 2017 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2017 Director LTIP”), (2) the 2024 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2024 Director LTIP”) and (3) the 2021 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2021 Employee LTIP”).

These share-based plans define fair market value as the closing sales price of a share of common stock as quoted on any established stock exchange for such date or the most recent trading day preceding such date if there were no trades on such date.

RESTRICTED STOCK ACTIVITY

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we granted 9,820 restricted shares under the 2024 Director LTIP and 121,844 restricted shares under the 2021 Employee LTIP. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we granted 729 restricted shares of our stock under the 2017 Director LTIP, 6,628 restricted shares of our stock under the 2024 Director LTIP, and 121,097 restricted shares of our stock under the 2021 Employee LTIP. A summary of our restricted stock activity is as follows:

Number of shares Weighted average grant-date fair value
Unvested April 1, 2025 275,773 $ 64.80
Granted 131,664 $ 72.64
Vested (146,660 ) $ 63.55
Forfeited (5,397 ) $ 66.77
Unvested December 31, 2025 255,380 $ 69.52

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS

Beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we granted Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) to certain executive officers under our 2021 Employee LTIP. The PSUs will vest based on the achievement of certain performance goals at the end of a three-year performance period. The PSUs represent the right to receive shares of our common stock at the time of vesting. The total number of PSUs that vest range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs based on our achievement of certain performance targets.

Table of Contents

The following table provides a summary of the unvested PSUs for the nine months ended December 31, 2025:

Number of units Weighted average grant-date fair value
Unvested April 1, 2025 34,535 $ 70.94
Granted 38,094 $ 76.08
Unvested December 31, 2025 72,629 $ 73.63

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

We provide eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of our stock through the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Under the ESPP, eligible employees may collectively purchase up to an aggregate of 2.50 million shares of our stock. Employees in the ESPP contribute part of their earnings over a six-month offering period. At the end of each offering period, employees purchase our shares using their contributions at a discount off the lesser of the closing market price on the first or the last trading day of each offering period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we issued 59,108 shares at a weighted average price of $61.00 per share and 58,064 shares at a weighted average price of $62.61 per share, respectively, under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2025, there were 2.31 million shares remaining under the ESPP.

COMPENSATION EXPENSE

The following table provides a summary of our total share-based compensation expense for continuing operations, including for restricted stock awards, PSUs, our ESPP, and the related income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively (in thousands):

Three months ended December 31, Nine months ended December 31,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Equity-based compensation expense $ 3,424 $ 2,863 $ 9,922 $ 8,184
Income tax benefit (914 ) (770 ) (2,738 ) (2,226 )

We recognized the income tax benefit as a reduction to our provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock was $12.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 30 months.

We also provide our employees with a contributory 401(k) profit sharing plan (the “401(k) plan”), to which we may contribute from time to time at our sole discretion. Employer contributions to the 401(k) plan are always fully vested. Our estimated contribution expense to the 401(k) plan for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, were $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, our estimated contribution expense for the plan was $4.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

12. INCOME TAXES

Our provision for income tax expense was $12.2 million and $37.7 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $5.4 million and $21.8 million for the same three- and nine-month periods in the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, was 26.7% and 27.6% respectively, compared with 26.9% and 27.2%, respectively, for the same three- and nine-month periods in the prior year. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was lower compared to the same three-month period in the prior year primarily due to lower state taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, was higher compared to the same nine-month period in the prior year primarily due to a higher tax benefit from restricted stock and state taxes in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state and local income taxes.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted into law, resulting in significant changes to the US tax code. The OBBBA permanently extends many of the tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which were scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025. The OBBBA introduces modifications to various US corporate tax provisions, with staggered effective dates ranging from 2025 to 2027. We recognized the impact of the OBBBA in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on our income statement or effective tax rate. We are continuing to assess the impact of the OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements, which will depend on our facts in each year, and future rules expected to be issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

Through the agreement for the sale of HoldCo, we may earn and receive Holdback Premium (as defined below) payments and two different types of Earn-Outs (as defined below, and together with the Holdback Premium the “Contingent Consideration”) based on the post-Closing performance of the HoldCo Group (as defined below), as operated by PEAC Solutions. We estimated the fair value of each element of the Contingent Consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation model. We recognize the short-term and long-term portions of the receivable for the Contingent Consideration as part of other current assets and property, equipment, and other assets—net, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet.

We may receive aggregate post-Closing cash payments of up to $3.0 million (the “Holdback Premium”) based on the achievement of customer lease receivable originations targets by HoldCo (i) from the Closing Date to the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) from the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date to the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

The two types of earn-out payments that are potentially payable to us are based on (i) the volume of originations of certain types of lease receivables (the “Lease Originations Earn-Out”) and (ii) the profitability of certain lease receivables originated either to US federal governmental entities or for which a prime contractor acting on behalf of a government entity is the obligor (the “Transaction Gains Earn-Out,” and together with the Lease Originations Earn-Out, the “Earn-Outs”). Each of the Earn-Outs will be measured for each of the first three consecutive twelve-month periods following the Closing. The Lease Originations Earn-Out is capped at $10.0 million in aggregate for all three post-Closing years. The Transaction Gains Earn-Out does not have a maximum cap.

In our initial accounting for the sale of HoldCo as of June 30, 2025, we recognized a receivable for the Contingent Consideration of $13.5 million. We subsequently adjusted our estimate of the fair value of the contingent receivable to $12.4 million as of December 31, 2025, based on progress towards achieving the Contingent Consideration targets. We recognized this adjustment of $1.1 million as a loss in other income, net in our statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

14. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

BAILIWICK SERVICES, LLC

On August 19, 2024, our subsidiary, ePlus Technology, inc., acquired 100% of the membership interests of Bailiwick Services, LLC (“Bailiwick”). Based near Minneapolis, Minnesota, Bailiwick is a provider of professional and managed services with nearly 30 years in the business. Bailiwick specializes in serving enterprise customers that operate large store, branch, and campus footprints predominantly in the retail, financial services, restaurant, and hospitality markets.

Our sum for consideration transferred is $124.9 million, which consists of $126.2 million paid in cash at closing, less $1.5 million cash acquired, plus $0.2 million paid in December 2024 to the sellers based on adjustments to a determination of the total net assets delivered. Our allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is presented below (in thousands):

Acquisition date amount
Accounts receivable $ 41,719
Contract assets 7,712
Other assets 20,669
Identified intangible assets 58,010
Accounts payable and other liabilities (38,273 )
Contract liabilities (6,216 )
Total identifiable net assets 83,621
Goodwill 41,305
Total purchase consideration $ 124,926

The identified intangible assets of $58.0 million consists of customer relationships of $49.3 million with an estimated useful life of ten years and trade name of $8.7 million with a useful life of seven years.

We recognized goodwill related to this transaction of $41.3 million, which was assigned to our professional services and product segments. The goodwill recognized in the Bailiwick acquisition is attributable to the acquired assembled workforce and expected synergies, none of which qualify for recognition as a separate intangible asset. The total amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $44.4 million.

The amount of revenues and earnings of the acquiree since the acquisition date are not material. Likewise, the impact to the revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date had been April 1, 2024, is not material.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING

We manage and report our operating results through three operating segments: product, professional services, and managed services. Our organizational structure is based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, manages operations, and evaluates performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.

Our product segment includes sales of IT products, third-party software, and third-party maintenance, software assurance, and other third-party services. Our professional services segment includes our advanced professional services, staff augmentation, project management services, cloud consulting services and security services. Our managed services segment includes our advanced managed services, service desk, storage-as-a-service, cloud hosted services, cloud managed services and managed security services. Our other category consists of the international entities of our financing business that we retained after selling our domestic financing business.

Our CODM measures the performance of the segments based on gross profit. We do not present asset information for our reportable segments as we do not provide asset information to our CODM. Our CODM reviews financial results and forecasts quarterly to manage operations and evaluate performance. Our CODM also uses our financial results and forecasts to make investment decisions as part of our annual budgeting process.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The below is intended to provide context to our consolidated financial condition and results of continuing operations. It should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”), and our current report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on January 26, 2026, which recasts prior period financial information and related disclosures in certain portions of our 2025 Annual Report to present the operations of the domestic financing business as discontinued operations separately from our continuing operations. These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may contain forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2025 Annual Report, as well as those described in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

We are a leading solutions provider in the areas of security, cloud, networking, collaboration, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and emerging technologies. AI continues to be a transformative force and demand driver particularly for our core products: Compute, Cloud, security, networking and our consultative services. Across industries, customers are using AI to enhance decision making, automate tasks, and drive both growth and efficiency. Through assessments, bespoke workshops and labs and consulting engagements, we deliver actionable outcomes for organizations by using information technology (“IT”) and consulting solutions to enhance decision making, automate tasks and drive business agility and innovation. Leveraging our engineering talent, we assess, plan, deliver, and secure solutions comprised of leading technologies and consumption models aligned with our customers’ needs. Our expertise and experience enable us to craft optimized solutions that take advantage of the cost, scale, and efficiency of private, public and hybrid cloud services in an evolving market.

As part of our solutions, we provide consulting, professional services, managed services, IT staff augmentation, and complete lifecycle management services in the areas of security, cloud, networking, collaboration, and emerging technologies. Further, we offer professional services in the spaces of digital signage, electric vehicle (“EV”) charging solutions, loss prevention and security, store openings, remodels, and store closings.

We deliver integrated solutions that address our customers’ business needs, leveraging the appropriate technologies, both on-premises and in the cloud. Our approach is to lead with advisory consulting to understand our customers’ needs, and then design, deploy, and manage solutions aligned to their objectives. Underpinning the broader areas of cloud, security, networking, and collaboration are specific skills in orchestration and automation, application modernization, DevSecOps, zero-trust architectures, data management, data visualization, analytics, network modernization, edge computing and other advanced and emerging technologies. These solutions are comprised of class-leading technologies from our commercial partners.

We are a reseller for thousands of manufacturers, which enables us to provide our customers with new and evolving IT solutions. We possess top-level IT engineering certifications with a broad range of leading IT vendors that enable us to offer IT solutions that are optimized for each of our customers’ specific requirements.

We serve primarily middle market to large enterprises across diverse markets including telecom, media and entertainment, technology, state and local government and educational institutions (“SLED”), healthcare, and financial services. We sell to customers in the United States (“US”), which account for most of our sales, and to customers in select international markets including the United Kingdom (“UK”), the European Union (“EU”), India, and Singapore.

On June 30, 2025, we completed the sale of 100% of the membership interests of Expo Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“HoldCo”), to Marlin Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (d/b/a PEAC Solutions) pursuant to the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated June 20, 2025 (the “Sale Transaction”). By selling HoldCo, together with its U.S. subsidiaries, we sold our domestic financing business that comprised most of our financing business segment, which is a business that finances information technology equipment, software and related services for customers. We continue to own the international entities in the financing business. This divestiture positions us to focus on being a technology solutions provider and represents a strategic shift in our operations. As a result of the Sale Transaction, we determined that the domestic financing business that was sold met the definition of discontinued operations. Consequently, for all periods presented in these financial statements, we are retrospectively presenting the results of our domestic financing business as discontinued operations. In our unaudited consolidated balance sheets for all periods, we present the assets and liabilities of our domestic financing business as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. In our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for all periods, we present the operating results of our domestic financing business in earnings from discontinued operations. After the sale, our remaining three reportable segments are product, professional services, and managed services, which we formerly referred to collectively as our technology business. Refer to Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

BUSINESS TRENDS

We believe the following key factors may impact our business performance and our ability to achieve business results:

General economic conditions including changes in law and policy by the US government, inflation, tariffs, export requirements, sanctions, changing interest rates, staffing shortages, remote work trends, geopolitical concerns and changes in US government spending and contracting practices may impact our customers’ willingness to spend on technology and services.

There is a worldwide shortage of memory chips due to the demand for AI-ready products, which is also causing rapid price increases across many IT products. Like others, we may experience ongoing supply constraints for memory chips that may affect lead times for delivery of products, our having to carry more inventory for longer periods, our and the customer’s costs of products, vendor return and cancellation policies, and our ability to meet customer demands. We continue to work closely with our suppliers and manufacturers to mitigate disruptions outside our control. Despite these actions, we believe extended lead times and price increases will likely persist for at least the next few quarters.

Our customers’ top focus areas include AI, security, cloud solutions, as well as digital transformation and modernization. We have developed advisory services, assessments, solutions, and professional and managed services to meet these priorities and help our customers attain and maintain their desired outcomes.

Modernizing legacy applications, data modernization, reducing operational complexity, securing workloads, the cost and performance of IT operations, and agility are changing the way companies are purchasing and consuming technology. These are fueling deployments of solutions on cloud, managed services and hybrid platforms and licensing models, which may include invoicing over the term of the engagement and may result in additional revenue recognized on a net basis.

Rapid cloud adoption has led to customer challenges around increasing costs, security concerns, and skillset gaps. These challenges are consistent across all industries and business sizes. We have developed a Cloud Managed Services portfolio to address these needs, allowing our clients to focus on driving business outcomes via optimized and secure cloud platforms.

KEY BUSINESS METRICS

Our management monitors several financial and non-financial measures and ratios on a regular basis to track the progress of our business. We believe that the most important of these measures and ratios include net sales, gross profit and margin, operating income margin, net earnings, and net earnings per common share, in each case based on information prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”), as well as the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations per common share - diluted.

25


Table of Contents

We also use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the operating performance of our business, develop financial forecasts, make strategic decisions, and prepare and approve annual budgets. We use gross billings as an operational metric to assess the volume of transactions or market share for our product, professional services, and managed services segments as well as to understand changes in our accounts receivable and accounts payable balances and our statement of cash flows. We believe our gross billings metric will aid investors in the same manner to evaluate our business.

These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with US GAAP and presented in our consolidated financial statements, as well as non-GAAP and operational performance measurement tools. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance or financial position that either excludes or includes amounts that are correspondingly not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP. Our use of non-GAAP information as analytical tools has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results reported under GAAP, as these measures used by management may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP: net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: net earnings from continuing operations per common share - diluted as supplemental measures of our performance to gain insight into our operating performance and performance trends. We believe that these measures provide management and investors with a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business and operating results by excluding items that management believes are not reflective of our underlying operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. Please see footnotes (1) and (2) of the below tables for more information.

The following tables provide our key business metrics for our consolidated entity (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations per common share – diluted are based on net earnings from continuing operations calculated in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted to exclude other (income) expense, share-based compensation, and acquisition related amortization and integration expenses, and the related tax effects.

Table of Contents

We believe that the exclusion of other income and acquisition-related amortization expense in calculating Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations per common share – diluted provides management and investors a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business and operating results by excluding items that management believes are not reflective of our underlying operating performance, which helps in understanding and the evaluation of our operating results. We use Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations per common share – diluted as supplemental measures of our performance to gain and provide insight into our operating performance and performance trends. However, our use of non-GAAP information as analytical tools has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under US GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate similar Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations per common share – diluted, or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

The following table provides our calculation of Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations per common share – diluted (in thousands, except per share amounts):

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings from continuing operations calculated in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted for the following: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, provision for income taxes, and other (income) expense. In the table below, we provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to this non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin is our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

We believe that the exclusion of other income in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provides management and investors with a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business and operating results by excluding items that management believes are not reflective of our underlying operating performance, which helps in the understanding and evaluation of our operating results. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance to gain and provide insight into our operating performance and performance trends. However, our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as analytical tools has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under US GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

The following table provides our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

Gross billings are the total dollar value of customer purchases of goods and services including shipping charges during the period, net of customer returns and credit memos, sales, or other taxes from our product, professional services, and managed services segments. Gross billings include the transaction values for certain sales transactions that are recognized on a net basis, and, therefore, include amounts that will not be recognized as revenue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales: Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased $121.6 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, due to increased net sales to customers in the telecom, media and entertainment, healthcare, technology, retail, and financial services industries, offset by decreased net sales to customers in the SLED industry. Our increase in demand was primarily driven by midmarket, large enterprise, and healthcare customers. For further information, see the “Segment Results of Operations” below.

Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased $338.7 million compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024, due to increased net sales to customers in the telecom, media and entertainment, healthcare, technology, retail, and financial services industries, offset by decreased net sales to customers in the SLED industry. Our increase in demand was primarily driven by large enterprise customers. For further information, see the “Segment Results of Operations” below.

Gross profit: Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased $33.6 million compared to the prior three-month period due to increases in net sales in our product segment and managed services segment, offset by a decrease in our professional services segment. Overall, gross margin increased 40 basis points year over year to 25.8%, primarily due to higher product margin led by a shift in product mix and higher vendor incentives, partially offset by a lower percentage of sales of third-party maintenance and subscriptions that are recognized on a net basis and lower services margin. For further information, see the “Segment Results of Operations” below.

Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased $89.7 million compared to the prior nine-month period due to increases in net sales in all three of our operating segments. Overall, gross margin increased 30 basis points year over year to 25.2%, primarily due to higher product margin led by a shift in product mix as we sold more third-party maintenance and subscriptions that are recognized on a net basis, offset by lower services margin. For further information, see the “Segment Results of Operations” below.

Selling, general, and administrative: Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased $7.8 million and $34.1 million, compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

Salaries and benefits, including variable compensation and share-based compensation for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased $8.1 million, compared to the same three-month period in the prior year, primarily due to increases in variable compensation commensurate with the increase in our gross profit.

Salaries and benefits, including variable compensation and share-based compensation for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased $31.1 million, compared to the same nine-month period in the prior year, primarily due to increases in variable compensation commensurate with the increase in our gross profit and secondarily due to additional salaries and benefits due to our acquisition of Bailiwick on August 19, 2024.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased $0.5 million as compared to the prior three-month period, mainly driven by higher legal fees.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased $3.9 million as compared to the prior nine-month period, due to the addition of Bailiwick. In total, we had higher professional fees of $1.9 million, higher software, subscription, and maintenance fees of $1.8 million, higher office rent of $0.7 million, and higher travel and entertainment expenses of $0.7 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in acquisition-related expenses of $1.0 million, due to the addition of Bailiwick in the prior nine-month period.

Provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, was $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the prior three- and nine-month periods, respectively. Our lower provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, was due to favorable changes in our net credit exposure.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended December 31, 2025, decreased compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to decreased acquisition amortization expense.

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to amortization from intangible assets acquired in the Bailiwick acquisition.

Operating income: As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased $27.0 million compared to the prior three-month period, and operating margin increased by 380 basis points to 7.1%.

Other income, net: Other income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $2.1 million, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Our decrease in other income was primarily due to lower foreign exchange gains in the current three-month period compared to the same period in the prior year and $1.2 million in expense in the current three-month period related to adjustments to our estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration due from PEAC Solutions relating to our sale of HoldCo, offset by higher interest income in the current three-month period compared to the same period in the prior year. We had foreign exchange gains of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in the prior year. We had $3.0 million in interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in the prior year.

Other income for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, was $7.9 million, compared to $5.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Our increase in other income was primarily due to higher interest income in the current nine-month period compared to the same period in the prior year and earnings from our transition services agreement with PEAC offset by higher foreign exchange losses in the current nine-month period compared to the same period in the prior year and $1.1 million in expense in the current nine-month period related to adjustments to our estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration due from PEAC Solutions relating to our sale of HoldCo. We had $9.0 million in interest income for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.9 million for the same period in the prior year.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, was 26.7% and 27.6% respectively, compared with 26.9% and 27.2%, respectively, for the same three- and nine-month periods in the prior year. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was lower compared to the same three-month period in the prior year primarily due to lower state taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, was higher compared to the same nine-month period in the prior year primarily due a higher tax benefit from restricted stock and state taxes in the prior year.

Net earnings from continuing operations: Net earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025, were $33.4 million, an increase of $18.8 million, as compared to $14.6 million for the same three-month period in the prior year. The net earnings increase was due to the increase in operating profits, offset by an increase in provision for income taxes and decrease in other income.

Net earnings from continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, were $98.7 million, an increase of $40.1 million, as compared to $58.6 million for the same nine-month period in the prior year. The net earnings increase was due to the increase in operating profits, and an increase other income, offset by an increase in provision for income taxes.

Net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax: Net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $1.7 million consisting of a gain of $2.3 million from settling a legal matter, offset by an income tax expense of $0.6 million. In December 2025, we paid $2.3 million to settle a legal matter related to our discontinued operations, which we had recorded as a contingent liability of $4.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. As a result of this settlement, we recognized a gain of $2.3 million.

SEGMENT OVERVIEW

Following the divestiture of our domestic financing business, we organize our business into three reportable segments (which we formerly referred to collectively as the technology business):

Product segment: Our product segment consists of the sale of third-party hardware, third-party perpetual and subscription software, and third-party maintenance, software assurance, and other third-party services. The product segment also includes internet-based business-to-business supply chain management solutions for IT products. We endeavor to minimize the cost of sales in our product segment through incentive programs provided by vendors and distributors.

Professional services segment: Our professional services segment includes our advanced professional services to our customers that are performed under time and materials, fixed fee, or milestone contracts. Professional services include consulting, assessments, architecture, deployment, and configuration, logistic services, training, staff augmentation services, and project management services. Additionally, we offer professional services in the spaces of digital signage, EV charging solutions, loss prevention and security, store openings, remodels, and store closings.

Managed services segment: Our managed services segment includes our advanced managed services that encompass managing various aspects of our customers’ environments that are billed in regular intervals over a contract term, usually between three to five years. Managed services also include security solutions, storage-as-a-service, cloud hosted services, cloud managed services, and service desk.

Our other category consists of the international entities of our financing business that we retained after selling our domestic financing business.

Net sales:

Product segment sales for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased compared to the same three-month period in the prior year, due to increases in revenue from networking, cloud, security, and collaboration products. Product segment sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased compared to the same nine-month period in the prior year, due to increases in revenue from networking, cloud, and security products, offset by a decline in collaboration products. These increases were driven by the timing of purchases by existing customers, which are determined by their buying cycles and the timing of specific IT-related initiatives. Contributing to the increase, the proportion of our sales that were sales of third-party maintenance and subscriptions that are recognized on a net basis decreased for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Professional services segment sales for the three months ended December 31, 2025, decreased compared to the same three-month period in the prior year, primarily due to decreases in revenues from project services and staff augmentation, offset by increases in consulting revenue. Professional services segment sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased compared to the same nine-month period in the prior year, primarily due to increases in revenues attributable to the acquisition of Bailiwick.

Managed services segment sales for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased compared to the same three- and nine-month periods in the prior year, due to ongoing expansion of these service offerings, primarily related to ongoing growth in enhanced maintenance support and cloud services.

Gross profit margin:

Product segment margin for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased by 170 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively, from the same three- and nine-month periods in the prior year due to a shift in product mix and vendor incentives, offset by a decrease in the proportion of our sales that were sales of third-party maintenance and subscriptions which are recorded on a net basis. Vendor incentives earned as a percentage of sales for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 increased by 140 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively, which had a positive effect on gross margin, as compared to the same three- and nine-month periods in the prior year.

Professional services segment margin for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, decreased by 90 basis points and 190 basis points, respectively, from the same three- and nine-month periods in the prior year primarily due to our acquisition of Bailiwick whose services have a lower gross margin due to the use of a higher proportion of third parties for delivery than our organic professional services.

Managed services segment margin for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, decreased by 80 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively, from the same three- and nine-month periods in the prior year, mainly driven by a decrease in gross margin from our managed services offerings due to increased third party costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY OVERVIEW

We finance our operations through funds generated from operations and through borrowings. We use those funds to meet our capital requirements, which primarily consist of working capital for operational needs, capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, and the repurchase of shares of our common stock.

We believe that cash on hand and funds generated from operations, together with available credit under our credit facility, will be sufficient to finance our working capital, capital expenditures, and other requirements for at least next year.

Our ability to continue to expand, both organically and through acquisitions, is dependent upon our ability to generate enough cash flow from operations or from borrowing or other sources of financing as may be required. While at this time we do not anticipate requiring any additional sources of financing to fund operations, if demand for IT products declines, or if our supply of products is delayed or interrupted, our cash flows from operations may be substantially affected.

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ (63,084 ) $ 53

Cash flows from operating activities: During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we used $223.4 million through operating activities of continuing operations primarily due to an increase in our accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by net earnings. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we provided $186.6 million through operating activities of continuing operations primarily due to net earnings and decreases in our accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by a decrease in our accounts payable.

To manage our working capital, we monitor our cash conversion cycle for our business segments, which is defined as days sales outstanding (“DSO”) in accounts receivable plus days of supply in inventory (“DIO”) minus days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable (“DPO”).

The following table presents the components of the cash conversion cycle for our business segments as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024
(DSO) Days sales outstanding (1) 63 62
(DIO) Days inventory outstanding (2) 22 13
(DPO) Days payable outstanding (3) (44 ) (43 )
Cash conversion cycle 41 32

Our cash conversion cycle increased to 41 days as of December 31, 2025, as compared to 32 days as of December 31, 2024. Our standard payment term for customers is between 30-60 days; however, certain customer orders may be approved for extended payment terms. Our DSO increased 1 day to 63 days as of December 31, 2025, compared to 62 days as of December 31, 2024, reflecting higher sales to customers with terms less than or equal to net 60 days. Our DIO increased to 22 days as of December 31, 2025, compared to 13 days as of December 31, 2024, due to longer customer delivery schedules. Our DPO increased by 1 day to 44 days as of December 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024. We pay invoices, processed through our WFCDF Credit Facility from our accounts payable-floor plan balance or paid directly from our accounts payable-trade balances typically within 45 to 60 days from the invoice date.

Cash flows related to investing activities: During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we used $3.2 million through investing activities of continuing operations consisting primarily of purchases of property and equipment. We also provided $156.7 million through investing activities of discontinued operations, consisting primarily of cash proceeds from our sale of HoldCo of $180.1 million less cash transferred with the HoldCo entities of $23.4 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we used $128.3 million through investing activities of continuing operations consisting of $124.9 million for the acquisition of Bailiwick, and $3.4 million for purchases of property and equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities: During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we provided $9.8 million through financing activities of continuing operations. We had cash outflows of $24.3 million to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock and $13.1 million paid for dividends. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows of $43.6 million in net borrowing on our floor plan facility and $3.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock to employees under our employee stock purchase plan.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we used $21.5 million through financing activities of continuing operations. We had cash outflows of $33.5 million to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock and $2.3 million paid in connection with our purchase of certain assets of Peak Resources, Inc. based on adjustments to the determination of total net assets received from our January 2024 acquisition of that company. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows of $10.6 million in net borrowings on the floor plan component of our credit facility and $3.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock to employees under our employee stock purchase plan.

CREDIT FACILITY

We finance the operations of our subsidiaries ePlus Technology, inc. and ePlus Technology Services, inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) through a credit facility with WFCDF. The WFCDF Credit Facility has a floor plan facility and a revolving credit facility.

Please refer to Note 7, “Credit Facility” to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements" for additional information concerning our WFCDF Credit Facility.

The loss of the WFCDF Credit Facility could have a material adverse effect on our future results as we currently rely on this facility and its components for daily working capital and liquidity and as an operational function of our accounts payable process.

Floor plan facility: We finance certain purchases of products for sale to our customers through the floor plan facility. Once our customers place a purchase order with us and we have approved their credit, we place an order for the desired products with one of our vendors. Our vendors are generally paid by the floor plan facility and our liability is reflected in “accounts payable—floor plan” in our consolidated balance sheets.

Most customer payments to us are remitted to our lockbox accounts. Once payments are cleared, the monies in the lockbox accounts are automatically and daily transferred to our operating account. We pay down the floor plan facility on three specified dates each month, generally 45 to 60 days from the invoice date. Our borrowings and repayments under the floor plan component are included in “net borrowings (repayments) on floor plan facility” within cash flows from the financing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

As of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, we had a maximum credit limit of $500.0 million, and an outstanding balance on the floor plan facility of $133.2 million and $89.5 million, respectively. On our balance sheet, our liability under the floor plan facility is presented as part of accounts payable – floor plan.

The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, business prospects, capital requirements, contractual restrictions (including in current or future agreements governing our indebtedness), restrictions imposed by applicable law, tax considerations and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES

In the normal course of business, we may provide certain customers with performance guarantees, which are generally backed by surety bonds. In general, we would only be liable for these guarantees in the event of default in the performance of our obligations. We believe we comply with the performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a performance guarantee, and we believe that any liability incurred in connection with these guarantees would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated statements of operations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements, or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of December 31, 2025, we were not involved in any unconsolidated special purpose entity transactions.

ADEQUACY OF CAPITAL RESOURCES

The continued implementation of our business strategy will require a significant investment in both resources and managerial focus. In addition, we may selectively enter into merger and acquisition transactions with other companies that have attractive customer relationships, skilled sales and/or engineering forces, and/or other attributes that may be complementary to our business or are aligned with our long-term strategy. We may also open facilities in new geographic areas, which may require a significant investment of cash. We may also acquire technology companies to expand and enhance our geographic footprint, or the platform of bundled solutions to provide additional functionality and value-added services. We may require additional capital due to increases in inventory to accommodate our customers’ IT installation schedules. These actions may result in increased working capital needs as the business expands. As a result, we may require additional financing to fund our strategy, implementation, potential future mergers and acquisitions, and working capital needs, which may include additional debt and equity financing. While the future is uncertain, we do not expect our WFCDF Credit Facility will be terminated by WFCDF or us.

POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS

Our future quarterly operating results and the market price of our common stock may fluctuate. In the event our revenues or earnings for any quarter are less than the level expected by securities analysts or the market in general, such shortfall could have an immediate and significant adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. Any such adverse impact could be greater if any such shortfall occurs near the time of any material decrease in any widely followed stock index or in the market price of the stock of one or more competitors, IT resellers, major customers, or vendors of ours.

Our quarterly results of operations are susceptible to fluctuations for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to currency fluctuations, reduction in IT spending, shortages of product from our vendors due to material shortages, the timing and mix of specific transactions, the reduction of manufacturer incentive programs, and other factors. See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2025 Annual Report, as supplemented in subsequently filed reports, and in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

We believe that comparisons of quarterly results of our operations are not necessarily meaningful and that results for one quarter should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our critical accounting estimates have not changed from those reported in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2025 Annual Report.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

We have foreign currency exposure when transactions are not denominated in our subsidiaries’ functional currency, which include purchases and sales of the products and services we provide, as well as loans with other ePlus entities. To date, foreign currency exposure associated with purchases and sales of the products and services we provide has not been significant. We have incurred foreign currency transaction gains and losses in certain foreign subsidiaries on US dollar denominated loans. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may impact our results of operations and financial position.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, or “disclosure controls,” as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls include some, but not all, components of our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LIMITATIONS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance due to its inherent limitations; it is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. A control system also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of such limitations, disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, whether unintentional errors or fraud. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process; therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

2


COMPENSATION, COMPENSATION PLANS AND BENEFITS. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be compensated as follows:

(a)

Effective as of the Effective Date, the Executive shall receive a base annual salary of [_________] thousand ($[________] Dollars), which may be increased from time to time (the “Base Salary”), and shall be payable by the Company in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices (in effect from time to time), less applicable taxes and withholdings.

(b)

Based on applicable company performance and the achievement of applicable individual and/or departmental goals and objectives, the Executive shall be eligible to be considered for an annual bonus as set forth in the terms and conditions as outlined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Cash Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time, and any successor cash incentive compensation plan thereto (“CIP”), and any applicable award agreement thereunder. The Company shall pay any bonus earned under this Section 5(b) no earlier than the end of the fiscal year for which earned and no later than the next September 30th following the fiscal year in which the bonus was earned, provided that financial filings are timely provided to the Compensation Committee. In no event will any bonus earned under this Section 5(b) be paid later than the next December 31st following the fiscal year for which the bonus was earned, unless calculation of the bonus is not administratively practicable by that date, and further delay would not violate Code Section 409A.

(c)

The Executive shall be entitled to participate in and receive other benefits offered by the Company to all employees, which may include, but are not limited to, vacation, sick, holiday and other leave times, and benefits under any life, health, accident, disability, medical, and dental insurance plans.

Any reimbursements that are includible in gross income of the Executive under this Section 5(d) must meet the following conditions. Such reimbursements: (i) must be for expenses incurred during the term of this Agreement, (ii) shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit, (iii) shall not affect eligibility for reimbursements in any other taxable year of the Executive, and (iv) shall be made no later than the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.

(e)

In the event the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, any payments and benefits due to the Executive under the Company’s employee benefit plans and programs, including the Company’s 2021 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time, and any successor incentive compensation plan thereto (the “Long-Term Incentive Plan”), shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such benefit plans and programs, and shall be in addition to any other payments or benefits herein, subject in all respects to Section 23 hereof (Clawback Provision).

(f)

In the event it is determined that any bonus or other incentive compensation payable by the Company to the Executive was paid based on incorrect financial results, the Compensation Committee will review such payment. If the amount of the payment would have been lower had the level of achievement of applicable financial performance goals been calculated based on the correct financial results, the Company’s Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust (i.e., lower) the amount of such payment so that it reflects the amount that would have applied based on the correct financial results and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, require the reimbursement by the Executive of any amount paid to, or received by, the Executive with respect to such bonus or other incentive compensation. Additionally, bonuses or other incentive compensation payable to the Executive by the Company are subject to recovery by the Company to the extent required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including any amendments thereto, and any regulations promulgated thereunder. Except as required by law, this subsection shall not apply to time-vested stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units which are not awarded, granted or vested based on financial measures required to be reported under the securities laws.

Provided that the Executive is covered under the Company's group health plan, the Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for her participation in the Johns Hopkins Executive Physical Program or an equivalent diagnostic program, one time per Company fiscal year during the Employment Term on a date(s) of the Executive’s choosing. To be entitled for reimbursement, the Executive must promptly submit a request for reimbursement, with reasonable documentation. The Company will promptly provide reimbursement upon receipt of said promptly submitted documentation.

Provided that after the Termination Date, the Executive (i) signs the form provided by the Company of a general release of all claims the Executive has or may have against the Companies or its then current or former officers, directors, or employees (hereinafter “Release”), attached hereto as Exhibit 1, in the time provided in the Release, and does not revoke it; and (ii) certifies that the Executive has complied with Sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement (confidentiality, intellectual property, non-competition, non-solicitation, conflict of interest and return of property provisions), then:

(1)

Death or Disability. If, during the Employment Term, the Executive’s employment terminates by reason of death or Disability as described in Section 6(c), then:

(b)

Unvested Restricted Stock and Other Awards. The Executive shall be entitled to the acceleration of vesting of any restricted stock, as set forth in the relevant Long-Term Incentive Plan and award agreement, provided that, with respect to any other award granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan other than restricted stock, the acceleration, vesting, payment, termination or forfeiture of such award will be carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement and the Long-Term Incentive Plan, as the case may be;

(c)

CIP Award. The Company shall pay to the Executive, or to her estate, a pro-rated target amount due under any CIP award agreement, as described in Section 5(b), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months (including partial months) in the period beginning on the first day of the relevant performance period and ending with the date as of which the Executive’s employment with the Company terminated and the denominator of which is the number of months in such performance period; and

(d)

Release. In the event of the Executive’s death, a legally empowered representative of the Executive’s estate shall be required to execute the Release (as appropriately revised by the Company to reflect the circumstances) in order for the Executive’s estate to receive the benefits and payments provided by this Agreement.

Severance. The Company shall pay the Executive a severance amount equal to twelve months of her then-Base Salary;

(b)

Unvested Restricted Stock and Other Awards. The Company shall either, at the Company’s choice: (1) accelerate the vesting of any restricted stock owned by the Executive at the Termination Date or (2) pay to the Executive an amount equal to the value of any restricted stock she forfeits at the Termination Date, provided that, with respect to any other award granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan other than restricted stock, the acceleration, vesting, payment, termination or forfeiture of such award will be carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement and the Long-Term Incentive Plan, as the case may be;

5


(c)

CIP Award. The Company shall pay to the Executive a pro-rated target amount due under any CIP award agreement, as described in Section 5(b), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months (including partial months) in the period beginning on the first day of the relevant performance period and ending with the date as of which the Executive’s employment with the Company terminated and the denominator of which is the number of months in such performance period;

(c)

Any payment due to the Executive under Section 7(b) shall be made in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date.

(d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is a “Specified Employee” (as defined in Section 20), the payments under subsection 7(b) shall be made no earlier than the date provided in Section 20.

Any release and certification required from the Executive under the first paragraph of Section 7(b) shall be on the form attached as Exhibit 1.

Except as otherwise provided by subsection 7(b)(2)(d), and provided the requirements of this subsection 7(d) are met, any lump sum payment due the Executive under subsection 7(b) shall be paid on the last day of the sixty (60) day period in which the Company may make such payment in compliance with the applicable provision.

(f)

Continued Health Benefits Upon Termination. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated due to Disability, by the Company without Good Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the cost of premiums the Company paid prior to the Termination Date for the Executive and/or the Executive’s qualified dependents’ coverage under the Company’s medical, prescription, dental, and other health benefits each month until the last day of the Employment Term or eighteen months following the Termination Date, whichever is greater. The Executive agrees that this cash payment is not a reimbursement for her actual premiums for health coverage and that she has complete discretion with respect to the use of these funds. The Executive shall not be obligated in any way to mitigate the Company’s obligations to her under this Section.

8.

CONFIDENTIALITY.

(a)

During the course of employment, the Executive has had and shall continue to have access to the Company’s Confidential Information (as defined below). The Executive shall not disclose or use at any time, either during her employment or after her employment ends for any reason, any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company, whether or not patentable, that the Executive learns as a result of her involvement with the Company, whether or not she developed such information. “Involvement with the Company” means holding a position as an employee, officer, or director with either the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. “Confidential Information” means Company information that is material to the Companies’ business and that is not generally known by, or made available to, the public and shall include, without limitation, information regarding:

“Trade Secrets” (as defined below) or proprietary information;

strategic sourcing information or analysis;

patents, patent applications, developmental or experimental work, formulas, test data, prototypes, models, and product specifications;

accounting and financial information;

financial projections and pro forma financial information;

sales and marketing strategies, plans and programs;

product development and product testing information;

product sales and inventory information;

personnel information, such as employees’ and consultants’ benefits, perquisites, salaries, stock options, compensation, formulas or bonuses;

organizational structure and reporting relationships;

business plans;

names, addresses, phone numbers of customers;

contracts, including contracts with clients, suppliers, independent contractors or employees; business plans and forecasts;

6


existing and prospective projects or business opportunities; and

passwords and other physical and information security protocols and information.

“Trade Secrets” includes any information that derives independent economic value, actually and potentially, from not being generally known to, and is not readily being ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who may obtain economic value from their disclosure or use and that are the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain their secrecy.

(b)

Confidential Information excludes any information known to the Executive prior to her employment with the Companies regardless of whether such information would otherwise be deemed Confidential Information. Information that is or later becomes publicly available in a manner wholly unrelated to any breach of this Agreement by the Executive or other improper means will not be considered Confidential Information as of the date it enters the public domain. If the Executive is uncertain whether something is Confidential Information, the Executive should treat it as Confidential Information until she receives clarification from the person to whom she reports that it is not Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall remain at all times the property of the Companies.

(c)

The Executive may use or disclose Confidential Information only:

(1)        When she is employed by the Company, as authorized and necessary in performing the responsibilities of her position, provided that she has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the information remains confidential; or

(2)       With prior written consent of the Company’s CEO;

(3)        In a legal proceeding between the Executive and the Company to establish the rights of either party under this Agreement, provided that the Executive stipulates to a protective order to prevent any unnecessary use or disclosure; or

(4)        Where such disclosure is required by law, provided that the Executive has complied with the following procedures to ensure that the Companies have an adequate opportunity to protect their legal interests.

Upon receipt of a subpoena or any other compulsory legal process (“Compulsory Process”) that could possibly require disclosure of Confidential Information, the Executive shall make her best effort to provide within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt a copy of the Compulsory Process as well as complete information regarding the circumstances under which she received Compulsory Process to the CEO by hand delivery or by e-mail provided that the Executive confirms with the General Counsel by telephone that the General Counsel received the e-mail. To provide the Company with the greatest opportunity to assess the need for protection from disclosure, the Executive shall not make any disclosure until the latest possible date for making such disclosure in accordance with the Compulsory Process (“Latest Possible Date”). If one of the Companies seeks to prevent disclosure in accordance with the applicable legal procedures, and notifies the Executive before the Latest Possible Date that it has initiated such procedures, the Executive shall not make disclosures of any Confidential Information that is the subject of such procedures, until such objections are withdrawn, or the appropriate tribunal either makes a final determination that the objections are invalid or orders the Executive to make the disclosure, unless otherwise required by law.

(d)

The Executive hereby acknowledges that any breach of this Section 8 would cause the Companies irreparable harm. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Executive from reporting an event that she reasonably and in good faith believes is a violation of law to the relevant law-enforcement agency (such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, the Congress, or any agency Inspector General), from cooperating in an investigation conducted by such a government agency, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions or state or federal law or regulation. This may include disclosure of trade secret or confidential information within the limitations permitted by the 2016 Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”). The Executive is hereby provided notice that under the DTSA, (1) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret (as defined in the Economic Espionage Act) that: (A) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to her attorney, that is made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or, (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and, (2) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order.

7


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Executive acknowledges that all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, original works of authorship, copyrights and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to the Companies’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by the Executive while employed by the Companies (“Intellectual Property”) belong to the Companies. The Executive agrees that both during and after her employment with the Companies that she will sign any documents or provide any information necessary for the Companies to protect their rights to such Intellectual Property. If the Executive is unavailable to sign any document that is necessary for the Companies to protect their rights to such Intellectual Property, the Executive hereby authorizes the Companies to sign on her behalf.

10.

For the purpose of this provision, “employee” shall mean an employee with whom the Executive worked or about whom the Executive had material knowledge with respect to their skills. “Competing Business” means a business that is selling products or services similar to those products or services that any of the “Covered Entities” is selling as of the date the Executive’s employment ends. “Covered Entities” include the Company and any affiliated entities in which the Executive is actively engaged as an officer, director or employee or about which the Executive has received Confidential Information as a result of her Involvement with the Company.

(d)

Nature of Restrictions. The Executive acknowledges that as a result of her employment as [title] of the Company, she has held and will continue to hold a position of utmost trust in which the Executive has come to know and will continue to come to know the Company’s employees, customers and Confidential Information. The Executive agrees that the provisions of this entire Section 10 are necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. The Executive warrants that these provisions shall not unreasonably interfere with her ability to earn a living or to pursue her occupation after her employment ends for any reason. The Executive agrees that upon beginning any new employment or business during the Restricted Period, she will promptly inform the Company of the name and address of her new employer or business and provide such new employer or business with a copy of this Agreement and copy the Company on the letter or e-mail transmitting the Agreement to the appropriate person in such new employer or business.]

11.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST. During her employment, the Executive agrees to have undivided loyalty to the Company. This means that the Executive shall avoid any situation that involves or has the potential to appear to involve a conflict of interest, including, but not limited to, participating in a business transaction that personally benefits the Executive or a relative based on information or relationships developed on the job, failing to disclose that someone who is doing or seeking to do business with, or work for, the Company is a relative or close personal associate, or receiving direct or indirect compensation from a client or vendor.

12.

RETURN OF PROPERTY. On the date the Executive’s employment ends for any reason, or at any time during her employment, at the request or direction of the Company, the Executive will immediately deliver to the Company any or all equipment, property, material, Confidential Information, Intellectual Property or copies thereof that are owned by the Company and are in the Executive’s possession or control. This includes documents or other information prepared by the Executive, or provided to her in connection with her duties while employed by the Company, regardless of the form in which such document or information are maintained or stored, including computer, typed, handwritten, electronic, audio, video, micro-fiche, imaged, drawn or any other means of recording or storing documents or other information.

COOPERATION WITH LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of any of the Companies that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by any of the Companies. The Executive’s reasonable cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with the Companies’ counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of any of the Companies. The Executive also agrees to reasonably cooperate with any of the Companies in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state, or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by any of the Companies. The Executive understands that in any legal action, investigation, or review covered by this Section 13 the Company expects the Executive to provide only accurate and truthful information or testimony. The Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for any costs she incurs in cooperation pursuant to this Section 13 including, but not limited to, travel expenses and attorneys’ fees and costs. Nothing in this Section 13 shall limit any indemnification rights the Executive may have on the effective date of this Agreement.

14.         REMEDY.

(a)

The Executive acknowledges that her breach of the obligations contained in Sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and/or 12 of this Agreement would cause the Company irreparable harm that could not be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in an action at law.

17.       GOVERNING LAW. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

CODE SECTION 409A. It is the intent of this Agreement to either meet an exception from, or to comply with, the requirements of Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any rulings and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Code”), and any ambiguities herein will be so interpreted and this Agreement will be so administered. References to a termination of employment in Section 6 and/or 7 of this Agreement shall mean the date of a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i). If the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment, any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A that would otherwise have been payable under this Agreement as a result of, and within the first six (6) months following, the Executive’s “separation from service” and not by reason of another event under Section 409A(a)(2)(A), will become payable six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death. Any such “nonqualified deferred compensation” shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment by creditors, or borrowing, to the extent necessary to avoid tax, penalties and/or interest under Section 409A. The Company agrees that it will pay, indemnify and hold the Executive harmless for any additional tax or interest penalty payable amount by the Executive on account of a violation of Section 409A. Any payment by the Company of such amount shall include a “gross-up” payment, which shall be the amount required to cause the net amount retained by the Executive after payment of all taxes, including taxes on the “gross-up” payment, to equal the amount of additional tax and interest penalty payable by the Executive on account of the violation of Section 409A. Such payment shall be made by the Company within thirty (30) days of the date that the Executive submits proof of payment of such taxes to the taxing authority and not later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the Executive submits the respective taxes to the taxing authority. The Executive agrees that the Company may amend this Agreement, with the consent of the Executive, as the Company determines is necessary or advisable so that payments made pursuant to this Agreement will not result in additional taxation of the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section 409A. The Executive agrees that she will not withhold her consent under this Section 20 if the proposed amendment does not materially adversely affect the Executive’s rights under this Agreement. Any right to a series of installment payments pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the installment payments in Section 7(e) hereof) is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. To the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be deemed “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Code Section 409A or the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. To the extent that any payments or reimbursements provided to the Executive under this Agreement are deemed to constitute compensation to the Executive to which Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) would apply, such amounts shall be paid or reimbursed reasonably promptly, but not later than December 31 of the year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred by the Executive. The amount of any such payments eligible for reimbursement in one year shall not affect the payments or expenses that are eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other taxable year, and the Executive’s right to such payments or reimbursement of any such expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

21.

CODE SECTION 280G. In the event the Company (or its successor) and the Executive agree, based on the advice of an independent nationally recognized public accounting firm engaged by the Company, that part or all of the consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to or for the benefit of the Executive under this Agreement constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (“Section 280G”), then either (a) or (b) below shall apply.

(a)

Except as provided in Section 21(b), if the aggregate present value of such parachute payments, singularly or together with the aggregate present value of any consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to or for the benefit of the Executive under any other plan, arrangement or agreement which constitute “parachute payments”, calculated as provided under Section 280G, (collectively, the “Parachute Amount”) exceeds 2.99 times the Executive’s “base amount”, as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) (the “Base Amount”), the amounts constituting “parachute payments” that would otherwise be payable to the Executive or for the Executive’s benefit shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the Parachute Amount is equal to 2.99 times the Base Amount (the “Reduced Amount”).

(b)

The Parachute Amount shall not be reduced as provided in Section 21(a) if, based on the advice of such public accounting firm, without such reduction the Executive would be entitled to receive and retain, on a net after-tax basis (including, without limitation, after imposition of any excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code), an amount which is greater than the amount, on a net after-tax basis, that the Executive would be entitled to retain upon receipt of the Reduced Amount.

If the determination made above results in a reduction under Section 21(a) of the payments that would otherwise be paid to or for the benefit of the Executive, such reduction in payments shall be first applied to reduce any cash severance payments that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive hereunder and shall thereafter be applied to reduce other payments and benefits in a manner that would not result in subjecting the Executive to additional taxation under Section 409A.

11


STATUS OF PRIOR EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS. The Executive acknowledges that this Agreement supplants and replaces in full all prior employment agreements between the Executive and the Company. The Executive waives any and all rights to enforce any and all provisions in any prior employment agreement between the Executive and the Company.

23.

CLAWBACK PROVISION. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any incentive-based or other compensation paid to the Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement). The Company will make any determination for clawback or recovery in accordance with the Company’s established policy, applicable law or regulation.

24.

SURVIVAL. Sections 8 through 23 shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding the termination of the Employment Term and this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 1

GENERAL RELEASE

This General Release of Claims (“Release”) is entered into by ePlus inc. (hereafter referred to as “ePlus” or the “Company”) and _______________________ (hereafter referred to as “Employee”).

WHEREAS, Employee’s employment with ePlus terminated effective (insert date).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises contained in the Employment Agreement between Employee and ePlus and in exchange for and as a condition of receiving the payments and benefits set forth in the Employment Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

Employee agrees to and does hereby release ePlus, its past and present officers, directors, agents, shareholders, trustees, partners, employees, in their individual and/or corporate capacities, as well as its employee benefit plans, affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and successors in interest (the “Releasees”) from, and covenants not to sue or initiate any action for, all claims, charges, causes of action or other liabilities (hereafter collectively referred to as “claims”), whether in contract or tort, known or unknown, arising out of or relating in any way to Employee’s employment, the Employment Agreement and/or termination of employment with ePlus, including, but not limited to, claims under any federal, state or local law, including but not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”) 42 U.S.C. § 1981; the American With Disabilities Act (“ADA”); the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”); the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”); the Equal Pay Act; the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act; the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), all as amended; and any common law, statutory, contract, tort, or public policy claims now or hereafter recognized, including but not limited to claims for wrongful discharge; breach of contract, express or implied; constructive discharge; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; defamation; and whistleblower claims (to the fullest extent they may be released under applicable law), as well as all claims for severance pay or benefits or attorneys’ fees and costs. Any initiation of claims prohibited by this Release shall be a breach of this Release and shall entitle ePlus to recover the consideration as set in Section 7(b) of the Employment Agreement, along with reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by ePlus to litigate any such action, to the extent permitted by law. Employee acknowledges that as of the date she signs this Release, the Company has paid all wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses, benefits, and other amounts earned and accrued, less any applicable deductions, and has no obligation to pay any additional amounts except as set forth in Employee’s Employment Agreement, if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be required to repay any monetary consideration or pay any costs, attorneys’ fees or damages incurred by the Company for Employee’s challenge of the waiver of an Age Discrimination in Employment Act claim. THIS IS A GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS.

Employee hereby represents and warrants that she has not filed or reported any claims or complaints in any forum and that she has not assigned to any third party or filed with any agency or court any claim released by this Release.

Employee is not waiving any claim for workers’ compensation, although Employee acknowledges she has not sustained a work-related injury or illness and has no intent to file a claim against the Company as a result of any work-related injury or illness sustained in the course of Employee’s employment with the Company.

Under the Older Workers Benefits Protections Act (“OWBPA”), Employee may, if desired, have a period of twenty-one calendar days to consider this Release. Employee has also been advised in writing to consult with an attorney (without expense to ePlus) prior to executing this Release. In addition, Employee may revoke this Release within a period of seven calendar days following execution of this Release (the “Revocation Period”). If Employee signs and does not revoke this Release during the Revocation Period, this Release will become fully effective upon the expiration of the Revocation Period.

1


Employee understands that nothing in this Release limits the Employee’s ability to (1) file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agency”) or (2) communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. However, the Employee does forever release the Employee’s right to recover or receive from any Releasee any personal relief, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees, back pay, reinstatement or injunctive relief, with the exception of any whistleblower awards or incentives that may be available for information provided to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, or any federal Inspector General pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or other applicable whistleblower laws or regulations.

Further, no provision of this Release should be construed or interpreted to preclude or in any way limit or restrict the Employee’s right to initiate an action against the Company under the OWBPA or ADEA challenging, under the ADEA, the waiver and release of claims contained in this Release on the grounds that they were not knowing and voluntary. To the extent that any provision of this Release is determined to be in violation of the OWBPA or ADEA, it should be severed or modified to comply with the OWBPA or ADEA, without affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the other terms or provisions of this Release. To the extent that Employee is a Medicare beneficiary, Employee agrees to contact a Company human resources representative for further instruction.

The provisions of this Release shall inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

This Release shall be interpreted, applied and enforced in accordance with, and shall be governed by, the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Employee hereby certifies she has complied with Sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of her Employment Agreement (confidentiality, intellectual property, non-compete, non-solicit, conflict of interest and return of property provisions).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Release on the date set forth next to each party’s signature.
