HERNDON, Va., Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ePlus inc. (NASDAQ: PLUS), a leading provider of technology and financing solutions, today announced financial results for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024, the second quarter of its 2025 fiscal year.

Management Comment

“Our results in the second quarter reflect the ongoing evolution of the industry towards ratable and subscription revenue models and slower product sales, partially offset by the continued strength of our services-led approach,” said Mark Marron, president and CEO of ePlus. “Notably, we experienced a year on year increase in gross profit and gross margin on lower gross billings and net sales, driven by higher margin services revenues, which increased 46%, and strong financing revenues.

“During the quarter, we acquired Bailiwick Services, LLC, which will help us drive core to edge computing solutions for our enterprise customers. In addition, we continue to see a shift towards services and more software and subscription-based sales as a percentage of the whole, and these are often recognized ratably or on a net basis creating a net sales headwind. On the product front, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to progress, and our customers are exploring advantages to integrate AI into various aspects of their businesses.”

Mr. Marron continued, “We ended the quarter with a solid balance sheet. Our healthy cash position enabled us to fund the acquisition of Bailiwick in the quarter, with ample additional liquidity to support our capital allocation priorities as we work to deliver increased shareholder value.”

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Results 

For the second quarter ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the second quarter ended September 30, 2023:

Consolidated net sales decreased 12.3% to $515.2 million, from $587.6 million.

Technology business net sales decreased 13.8% to $493.3 million, from $571.9 million as lower product sales were offset by higher service revenues. Technology business gross billings decreased 5.6% to $808.2 million from $856.5 million.

Product sales declined 22.2% to $389.6 million, from $500.9 million, due to lower demand combined with a shift in mix. Product margin was 22.9%, up from 20.9% last year due to a higher proportion of third-party maintenance, software subscriptions and services sold in the current quarter, which are recorded on a net basis.

Professional service revenues increased 61.7% from last year to $61.9 million, from $ 38.3 million, due in part to the acquisition of Bailiwick Services, LLC. Gross margins remained consistent at 41.3%.

Managed service revenues increased 27.6% to $41.8 million due to ongoing growth in these offerings, including Enhanced Maintenance Support and Cloud services. Gross profit from managed services increased 21.0% from last year due to the increase in revenues. Managed service margins declined to 29.5% from 31.1%.

Financing business segment net sales increased 39.7% to $21.9 million, from $15.7 million, primarily due to increases in transactional gains. Gross profit in the financing business segment increased $7.1 million, from $13.6 million last year to $20.7 million this year, due to the increase in net sales.

Consolidated operating expenses were $105.3 million, up 5.8% from $99.5 million last year, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits from additional headcount, as well as increases in acquisition-related expenses of $1.0 million. Our headcount at the end of the quarter was 2,323, up 446 from a year ago. The acquisition of Bailiwick Services LLC on August 19, 2024 added 441 employees, and Peak Resources on January 27, 2024 added 24 employees.

Consolidated operating income decreased 4.8% to $42.7 million and earnings before tax decreased 3.7% to $43.3 million. Other income was $0.6 million compared to $0.1 million last year, as higher interest income of $2.4 million was offset by foreign exchange losses of $1.8 million.

Net earnings decreased 4.1% to $31.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in the technology business declined 17.3% and increased 68.9% in the financing business segment, and when combined, resulted in consolidated adjusted EBITDA decreasing 2.7% to $52.1 million.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $187.5 million from $253.0 million as of March 31, 2024, due to the acquisition of Bailiwick Services, LLC, repurchases of our common stock, and working capital needs.

Fiscal Year Guidance

Fiscal year 2025 net sales are now expected to be similar to fiscal year 2024. The adjusted EBITDA range is now expected to be $195 million to $205 million. ePlus cannot predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, the ultimate outcome of unusual gains and losses, the occurrence of matters creating GAAP tax impacts, fluctuations in interest expense or interest income and share-based compensation, and acquisition-related expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the ePlus’ results computed in accordance with GAAP.  Accordingly, ePlus is unable to provide a reconciliation of GAAP net earnings to adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 forecast.

Summary and Outlook 

“While we’ve seen some softening in enterprise demand due to prior absorption of purchases and global economic uncertainty, our outlook continues to reflect our prioritized investments in key high-growth categories such as AI, security and related software and services to drive long-term sustainable growth.  Our customer relationships are strong and their feedback for our AI Ignite offering reinforces our view that clients are at the early stage of adoption for these solutions. We are well positioned to serve this emerging demand, and over the longer term, our strong balance sheet supports our ability to build on the success that we have achieved over the past several years,” concluded Mr. Marron.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION

We included reconciliations below for the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA for business segments, (iii) non-GAAP Net Earnings and (iv) non-GAAP Net Earnings per Common Share – Diluted.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings 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). Adjusted EBITDA presented for the technology business segments and the financing business segment is defined as operating income calculated in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted for interest expense, share-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, and depreciation and amortization. We consider the interest on notes payable from our financing business segment and depreciation expense presented within cost of sales, which includes depreciation on assets financed as operating leases, to be operating expenses. As such, they are not included in the amounts added back to net earnings in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP net earnings per common share – diluted are based on net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude other income (expense), share based compensation, and acquisition related amortization expense, and the related tax effects.

We use the above non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our performance to gain insight into our operating performance and performance trends. We believe that such non-GAAP financial measures provide 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. Accordingly, we believe that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.

Our use of non-GAAP information as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP net earnings per common share or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.
