Management Comment

“ePlus’ base of diverse, middle market and larger customers in stable industries is a key competitive advantage, along with our solutions sets and engineering talent which can readily pivot to address the current needs of our customers,” commented Mark Marron, president and chief executive officer.  “In the second quarter, revenue growth was driven by increased spend from our enterprise and state, local government and educational (SLED) customers.  Thanks to our long time focus on key areas such as cloud, security and collaboration solutions, and our investments in top-notch technology talent, we have both the scale and depth to serve large enterprise customers, who have been most active during this pandemic period.  Additionally, our services business increased in the second quarter, benefitting from our emphasis on managed services which yield consistent annuity quality revenue.

“We had a challenging gross margin comparison due to strength in product sales to enterprise customers this year and a shift in business mix.  Even so, we were pleased to report year-on-year growth in operating income as we have continued to identify opportunities to pare our cost structure.

“Our team has managed well in the COVID-19 business environment, and as we approach our 30th anniversary, we especially appreciate their dedication and ability to effectively support our customers by providing the solutions and the flexibility they require.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION
                                                        
We included reconciliations below for the following non-GAAP information: (i) Adjusted Gross Billings, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA, (iii) Segment Adjusted EBITDA, (iv) non-GAAP Net Earnings and (v) non-GAAP Net Earnings per Common Share - Diluted.

We define adjusted gross billings as our technology segment net sales calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude the costs incurred related to sales of third-party maintenance, software assurance and subscription/SaaS licenses, and services.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for the following: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, acquisition and integration expense, provision for income taxes, and other income (expense). Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income calculated in accordance with 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 segment and depreciation expense presented within cost of sales, which includes depreciation on assets financed as operating leases, to be operating expenses.

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.

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 non-GAAP adjusted gross billings, 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.
