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, or “Exchange Act,” and are made in reliance upon the protections provided by such acts for forward-looking statements. Such statements are not based on historical fact but are based upon numerous assumptions about future conditions that may not occur. 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. 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 losses;
●
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 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;
●
our ability to secure our own and our customers’ electronic and other confidential information, while maintaining compliance with evolving data privacy and cybersecurity regulatory 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;
●
supply chain issues, including a shortage of IT component parts and products, may increase our costs or cause a delay in fulfilling customer orders, or increase our need for working capital, or delay completing professional services, or purchasing IT products or services needed to support our internal infrastructure or operations, resulting in an adverse impact on our financial results;
●
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 in any such 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 changes 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 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”).

ePlus inc. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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,” “ourselves,” 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 Expo Holdings, LLC (“HoldCo”), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ePlus, to Marlin Leasing Corporation (d/b/a PEAC Solutions), thereby selling our domestic subsidiaries comprising the majority of our financing business segment. This divestiture positions us going forward as a pure-play technology solutions provider and represents a strategic shift in our 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, we present the assets and liabilities of our domestic financing business as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in all periods presented. In our unaudited consolidated statements of operations, we present the operating results of our domestic financing business in earnings from discontinued operations. Please see Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” for additional information on the transaction and its effect on our financial statements. 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.
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 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 six months ended September 30, 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”), which 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.
CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK — A substantial portion of our sales are products from Cisco Systems, which represented approximately 31 % and 37 % of our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and 27 % and 37 % of our net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — The significant accounting policies used in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025, except for the changes provided in Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements.”
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This update is effective for annual periods beginning in our fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.

3. REVENUES
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONTRACT ASSETS
Our balance in accounts receivable—trade, net includes our accounts receivable recognized from contracts with customers and contract assets. Contract assets represent our right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time.
The following table provides a disaggregation of our balance in accounts receivable—trade, net (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2025, our accounts receivable includes $16.2 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 $5.9 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 $33.5 million and $76.3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $32.0 million and $72.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On June 30, 2025, we completed the sale of HoldCo to Marlin Leasing Corporation pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated June 20, 2025, thereby selling our domestic financing business. In the 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 contingent consideration asset 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 are 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 Marlin Leasing Corporation will provide certain transition services to each other after the sale. In our quarter ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a contingent liability related to a legal matter of our discontinued operations of $4.6 million for which we remain responsible under the terms of the HoldCo sale.
The sale of our domestic financing business positions us going forward as a pure-play technology solutions provider and represents a strategic shift in our operations. Consequently, for all periods presented in these financial statements, we are retrospectively presenting the results of our domestic financing business as discontinued operations.
The following table provides our operating results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 (in thousands):

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 six months ended September 30, 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, 2024, 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 September 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025 (in thousands):

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 $98.5 million and $89.5 million as of September 30, 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 no
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 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 September 30, 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 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 September 30, 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 six months ended September 30, 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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2025, we purchased 60,000 shares of our outstanding common stock at a value of $4.4 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 six months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased 250,234 shares of our outstanding common stock at a value of $19.8 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 six months ended September 30, 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 six months ended September 30, 2025, we granted 652 restricted shares under the 2024 Director LTIP and 121,844 restricted shares under the 2021 Employee LTIP. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, we granted 729 restricted shares of our stock under the 2017 Director LTIP, and 121,097 restricted shares of our stock under the 2021 Employee LTIP.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS
Beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we granted Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) to our 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

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
We provide eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of our stock through the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Under this plan, eligible employees may purchase up to an aggregate of 2.50 million shares of our stock. Employees in this plan 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 six months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, we issued 28,665 shares at a price of $61.29 per share and 28,915 shares at a price of $62.63 per share, respectively, under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2025, there were 2.34 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 six months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively (in thousands):

We recognized the income tax benefit as a reduction to our provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock was $14.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 33 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 September 30, 2025, and 2024, were $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, our estimated contribution expense for the plan was $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
12. INCOME TAXES
Our provision for income tax expense was $15.8 million and $25.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $7.5 million and $16.5 million for the same three-and six-month periods in the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, was 29.3 % and 28.1 % respectively, compared with 27.5 % and 27.3 %, respectively, for the same three- and six-month periods in the prior year. Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, was higher compared to the same three- and six-month periods in the prior year primarily due to a higher tax benefit from restricted stock in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21.0
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. 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. 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 September 30, 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 anticipated guidance.

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 include the Contingent Consideration as part of property, equipment, and other assets—net 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.
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.

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.

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 and the audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”). 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 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 have enabled 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 Expo Holdings, LLC (“HoldCo”), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ePlus, to Marlin Leasing Corporation (d/b/a PEAC Solutions), thereby selling ePlus’ domestic subsidiaries comprising the majority of our financing business segment. This divestiture positions us going forward as a pure-play technology solutions provider and represents a strategic shift in our operations. Consequently, our financial statements present our financial results for all periods and we are retrospectively presenting the results of our domestic financing business as discontinued operations. In our unaudited consolidated balance sheets, we present the assets and liabilities of our domestic financing business as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in all periods presented. In our unaudited consolidated statements of operations, 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.
BUSINESS TRENDS
We believe the following key factors impact our business performance and our ability to achieve business results:
●
General economic concerns 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.
●
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 outcome.
●
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.
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.

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.
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.

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 September 30, 2025, increased $115.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to increased net sales to customers in the telecom, media and entertainment, healthcare, technology, 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.
Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2025, increased $217.1 million compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024, due to increased net sales to customers in the telecom, media and entertainment, healthcare, and financial services industries, offset by decreased net sales to customers in the technology, and SLED industries. 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 September 30, 2025, increased $34.8 million compared to the prior three-month period due to increases in net sales in all three of our operating segments. Overall, gross margins were up by 80 basis points year over year to 26.6%, primarily due to higher product margins 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 margins. For further information, see the “Segment Results of Operations” below.
Consolidated gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2025, increased $56.2 million compared to the prior six-month period due to increases in net sales in all three of our operating segments. Overall, gross margins were up by 20 basis points year over year to 24.9%, primarily due to higher product margins 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 margins. For further information, see the “Segment Results of Operations” below.
Selling, general, and administrative: Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, increased $11.9 million and $26.3 million, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to increases in variable compensation commensurate with the increase in our gross profit and secondarily due to additional salaries and benefits and general and administrative costs due to our acquisition of Bailiwick Services, LLC (“Bailiwick”) on August 19, 2024 that fully impacted the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, but only partially impacted the corresponding 2024 periods due to the transaction’s occurring part way through the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
Salaries and benefits, including variable compensation and share-based compensation for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, increased $11.2 million and $23.0 million, respectively, compared to the same three- and six-month periods 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.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased $1.3 million as compared to the prior three-month period, due to the addition of Bailiwick. In total, we had higher software, subscription, and maintenance fees of $1.1 million, higher professional fees of $0.6 million, and higher travel and entertainment expenses of $0.4 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 year quarter.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2025, increased $3.3 million as compared to the prior six-month period, due to the addition of Bailiwick. In total, we had higher software, subscription, and maintenance fees of $1.9 million, higher professional fees of $1.0 million, higher office rent of $0.7 million, and higher travel and entertainment expenses of $0.6 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 six-month period.
Provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was a benefit of $0.4 million as compared to an expense of $0.2 million for the prior three-month period. Our lower provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was due to changes in our net credit exposure.
Provision for credit losses for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, were both $0.2 million.
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, increased compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2025, increased $21.8 million compared to the prior three-month period, and operating margin increased by 250 basis points to 8.0%.
As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2025, increased $26.6 million compared to the prior six-month period, and operating margin increased by 110 basis points to 6.8%.
Other income (expense), net: Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $5.2 million, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Higher other income was driven by foreign exchange gains recognized in the current three-month period compared to foreign exchange losses recognized in the prior three-month period. Additionally, there was an increase in interest income. We had foreign exchange gains of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to losses of $1.8 million for the same three-month period in the prior year. We had $3.9 million in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Other income for the six months ended September 30, 2025, was $5.8 million, compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Higher other income was driven by decreased foreign exchange losses and increased interest income. We had foreign exchange losses of $0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to losses of $2.3 million for the same six-month period in the prior year. We had $6.0 million in interest income for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024.
Provision for income taxes: Our provision for income tax expense was $15.8 million and $25.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $7.5 million and $16.5 million for the same three-and six-month periods in the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, was 29.3% and 28.1% respectively, compared with 27.5% and 27.3%, respectively, for the same three- and six-month periods in the prior year. Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, was higher compared to the same three- and six-month periods in the prior year primarily due to a higher tax benefit from restricted stock in the prior year.
Net earnings from continuing operations: Net earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025, were $38.2 million, an increase of $18.4 million, as compared to $19.8 million for the same three-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 continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2025, were $65.3 million, an increase of $21.3 million, as compared to $44.0 million for the same six-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 September 30, 2025, was a loss of $3.3 million consisting of an accrual for a contingent liability related to a legal matter of our discontinued operations of $4.6 million for which we remain responsible under the terms of the HoldCo sale, offset by an income tax benefit of $1.3 million. We had earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $11.5 million for the same three-month period in the prior year consisting of earnings before income taxes of $16.0 million, offset by income tax of $4.5 million.
Net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the six months ended September 30, 2025, was $7.3 million consisting of earnings before gain from sale and income taxes of $5.6 million and gain from the sale of our domestic financing business of $4.4 million, less income tax of $2.7 million. We had earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $14.7 million for the same six-month period in the prior year consisting of earnings before income taxes of $20.3 million, less income tax of $5.7 million.
Net earnings: Due to the aforementioned reasons, net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2025, were $34.9 million, an increase of $3.6 million, as compared to $31.3 million for the same three-month period in the prior year.
Due to the aforementioned reasons, net earnings for the six months ended September 30, 2025, were $72.6 million, an increase of $13.9 million, as compared to $58.7 million for the same six-month period in the prior year.
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 September 30, 2025, increased compared to the same three-month period in the prior year, due to increases in demand for networking and security products. Product segment sales for the six months ended September 30, 2025, increased compared to the same six-month period in the prior year, due to increases in demand for cloud, networking and security products. These increases in demand 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. Offsetting the increase in demand was a shift in product mix, as sales of third-party maintenance and subscriptions that are recognized on a net basis were a higher proportion of our sales for both the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Professional services segment sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, increased compared to the same three- and six-month periods in the prior year, primarily due to increases in revenues from the acquisition of Bailiwick.
Managed services segment sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, increased compared to the same three- and six-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 six months ended September 30, 2025, increased by 160 basis points and 20 basis points, respectively, from the same three- and six-month periods in the prior year due to a shift in product mix and from a higher proportion of 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 six months ended September 30, 2025 increased by 20 basis points and 10 basis points, respectively, which had a positive effect on gross margin, as compared to the same three- and six-month periods in the prior year.
Professional services segment margin for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by 310 basis points and 270 basis points, respectively, from the same three- and six-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 six months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by 10 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively, from the same three- and six-month periods in the prior year, due to a decline in revenue from our service desk offering that resulted in a decrease in gross margin for that service line.
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, 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 enough 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.

Cash flows from operating activities: During the six months ended September 30, 2025, we used $137.6 million through operating activities of continuing operations primarily due to an increase in our accounts receivable and inventories and a decrease in our accounts payable, partially offset by net earnings. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, we provided $117.8 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:

(1)
Represents the rolling three-month average of the balance of trade accounts receivable-trade, net at the end of the period divided by Gross billings for the same three-month period.
(2)
Represents the rolling three-month average of the balance of inventory, net at the end of the period divided by the direct cost of products and services billed to our customers for the same three-month period.
(3)
Represents the rolling three-month average of the combined balance of accounts payable-trade and accounts payable-floor plan at the end of the period divided by the direct cost of products and services billed to our customers for the same three-month period.
Our cash conversion cycle decreased to 30 days as of September 30, 2025, as compared to 32 days as of September 30, 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 decreased 3 days to 63 days as of September 30, 2025, compared to 66 days as of September 30, 2024, reflecting higher sales to customers with terms less than or equal to net 60 days. Our DIO increased to 15 days as of September 30, 2025, compared to 12 days as of September 30, 2024 due to longer customer delivery schedules. Our DPO increased 2 days as of September 30, 2025. 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 six months ended September 30, 2025, we used $1.8 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 six months ended September 30, 2024, we used $126.6 million through investing activities of continuing operations consisting of $124.6 million for the acquisition of Bailiwick, and $1.9 million for purchases of property, equipment and operating lease equipment.
Cash flows from financing activities: During the six months ended September 30, 2025, we used $3.2 million through financing activities of continuing operations. We had cash outflows of $7.4 million to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock and $6.6 million paid in dividends. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows of $9.0 million in net borrowing on our floor plan facility and $1.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock to employees under an employee stock purchase plan.
During the six months ended September 30, 2024, we used $13.5 million through financing activities of continuing operations. We had cash outflows of $23.6 million to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock and $2.3 million paid to the sellers of Peak Resources, Inc. based on adjustments to the determination of total net assets received in 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 $1.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock to employees under an 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 September 30, 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 $98.5 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.
Revolving credit facility: We did not have any activity on our revolving credit facility during the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. As of September 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025, we did not have any outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility. The maximum credit limit under this facility was $200.0 million as of both September 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025.

On November 6, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend. The quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share will be paid on December 17, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 25, 2025.
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 September 30, 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 acquire other companies that have attractive customer relationships and skilled sales and/or engineering forces. 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 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 Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2025 Annual Report.
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.
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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.
Please refer to Note 8, “Commitment and Contingencies” to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements."
Other than as disclosed in “Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there has not been any material change in the risk factors disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

It is further intended that all payments related to, or settlements of, the Awarded PSUs hereunder qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception under Section 409A.
(c)
Employment. Your employment with the Company and/or its Affiliates constitutes adequate consideration for the issuance of the Shares to you having a value at least equal to the par value of the Shares, but the vesting conditions described below will nevertheless determine your right to acquire unrestricted ownership of the Shares to be issued upon settlement of vested Awarded PSUs.
Section 2.
Vesting.
(a)
Vesting Date. The vesting date (the “Vesting Date”) for your Awarded PSUs is specified in Appendix A. After the Vesting Date, subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement (including Section 2(b) below), you will, pursuant to Section 3 of this Part II below, obtain the Shares to be issued upon settlement of your vested Awarded PSUs.
(i)
You must, except as otherwise provided herein, either (1) remain in continuous service with the Company and/or its Affiliates as an Employee from the date of this Agreement through the Vesting Date (the “Service Condition”) or (2) have terminated employment in accordance with the below provisions; and

The Performance Criteria specified in Appendix A of this Award Agreement must be met as of the end of the Performance Period as determined by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan (the “Performance Condition”).
(c)
Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided herein, if you terminate service with the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Vesting Date, you will forfeit the Awarded PSUs that are scheduled to vest on or after such termination of service date. When you forfeit Awarded PSUs, all of your interest in the unvested Awarded PSUs will be automatically canceled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following exceptions shall apply:
2

Death or Disability. In the event of termination of your employment during the Performance Period due to death or Disability, your Awarded PSUs will vest at the Performance Target level of achievement and be settled as provided in Section 3 of Part II of this Award Agreement;

(iii)
Termination without Cause or Termination for Good Reason without a Change in Control. If a Change in Control has not occurred during the Performance Period and during the Performance Period your employment is terminated without cause or your employment is terminated for good reason, then: following the end of the Performance Period, you shall vest in your Awarded PSUs based upon the Performance Targets achieved in the same manner as if you had remained employed until the end of the Performance Period but prorated based upon the number of days you were employed during the Performance Period;
(iv)
Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control and provided that within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control you are not provided an equivalent value agreement that supersedes this Award Agreement, if your employment is terminated within twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control for good reason or without cause, then you shall vest in your Awarded PSUs upon your employment termination date at the Performance Target level of achievement for the financial metrics listed in Appendix A, and at the greater of the Performance Target or actual level of achievement for the [_____] metric listed in Appendix A, and your Vested PSUs shall be settled as provided in Section 3 of Part II of this Award Agreement.
(d)
Definition of Service. For purposes of determining the vesting of your Awarded PSUs, you will be deemed to be in the service of the Company and/or its Affiliates for so long as you serve in any capacity as an Employee.
(e)
Application of Other Forfeitures and Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Awarded PSUs and any related Shares shall be subject to adjustment and/or recovery, in whole or in part, following the date on which they become vested and settled if and to the extent (i) required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) provided in Section 6(g)(xii) of the Plan or (iii) provided under the terms of any clawback policy or other policy of similar import adopted by the Company and in effect on the date the Awarded PSUs or Shares, as applicable, become vested and settled.
3

Should the base year of any Performance Target be modified due to an accounting restatement (as defined in the ePlus inc. Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation), then the percentage increase used to derive the incremental dollar value Performance Targets herein shall be used to calculate the revised Performance Targets from the restated base year.
