Connection (PC Connection, Inc.; NASDAQ: CNXN ), a leading information technology solutions provider to business, government, healthcare and education markets, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
“We continued to execute well against our strategic objectives and delivered another strong quarter. We saw a shift in product mix as our customers prioritized datacenter modernization, cloud solutions, security, and software, over end-point devices. The shift to these advanced technologies was the primary driver of our record gross margin,” said Timothy McGrath, President and Chief Executive Officer of Connection.

Gross profit increased 13.2% while gross margin expanded 155 basis points to a record 17.6%, compared to the prior year quarter.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other charges (“Adjusted EBITDA”) increased 42% to $145.5 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $102.4 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021. 1

Gross profit increased by 15.7% to $63.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $54.7 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin increased by 60 basis points to 20.0% primarily due to an increase in sales of software and services during the third quarter of 2022 which are recognized as revenue on a net basis.

Quarterly Highlights
- Continued growth in our vertical markets:
- In the Finance vertical, we grew revenue 40% year over year and 12% sequentially as our customers were upgrading legacy hardware and focusing on securing their environments.
- Manufacturing revenue grew 3% year over year as clients focused on increasing automation and process integration, and long-term investment in new technologies to support cybersecurity, risk reduction, and growth opportunities.
- Revenue in Healthcare grew 14% year over year driven by post pandemic technology refreshes and new investments in traditional and new patient care delivery models.
Quarterly Sales by Product Mix :
- Software sales increased by 41% year over year and accounted for 11% of net sales in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 8% of net sales in the third quarter of 2021.
- Notebook/mobility sales decreased 9% year over year and accounted for 36% of net sales in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 40% of net sales in the third quarter of 2021.
- Accessories sales increased by 12% year over year and accounted for 13% of net sales in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 12% of net sales in the third quarter of 2021.
- Desktop sales increased by 5% year over year and accounted for 9% of net sales in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased in the third quarter of 2022 to $104.9 million from $93.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to an increase in variable compensation due to higher levels of gross profit and an increase in personnel cost associated with an investment in incremental headcount focused on building our technical and sales organizations, as well as increased marketing spending. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.5%, compared to 12.4% in the prior year quarter. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to the shift in product mix toward sales of software and services which are recognized as revenue on a net basis.
Cash and cash equivalents were $116.2 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $108.3 million at December 31, 2021.
“As evidenced by our results this quarter, our team has continued to successfully adapt to the needs of our customers,” concluded Mr. McGrath. “We believe the team and the strategies we have in place well position Connection to gain market share and increase long-term shareholder value.”

| EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA |
| A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is detailed below. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted for restructuring and other charges, and stock-based compensation. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either includes or excludes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide helpful information with respect to our operating performance including our ability to fund our future capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA also provides helpful information as it is the primary measure used in certain financial covenants contained in our credit agreements. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as alternatives for Net income or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similar titled measures of other companies. |
