“We are pleased with our solid financial results for our first quarter,” said Mike Baur, CEO, ScanSource, Inc. "We achieved 7% net sales growth primarily from our businesses in North America. In addition, the acquisition of Intelisys, closed during the quarter, brings the benefits of a successful recurring revenue model and adds capabilities in the growing telecom and cloud services market.”

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, operating income of $22.9 million and non-GAAP operating income of $26.7 million decreased from the prior year quarter, primarily from a less favorable sales mix. On a GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter totaled $14.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared with net income of $16.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter totaled to $17.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted share.

Completion of the Acquisition of Intelisys

On August 29, 2016, ScanSource completed its acquisition of Intelisys Communications, Inc., the industry-leading technology services distributor of business telecommunications and cloud services. Founded in 1994 and based in Petaluma, California, Intelisys operates in the United States and has approximately 120 employees, more than 130 supplier partners, and over 2,300 sales partners. Under the agreement, the all-cash transaction included an initial purchase price of approximately $83.6 million, plus earn-out payments based on a multiple of EBITDA over the next four years, which could range from $100 million to $150 million.

Share Repurchase Update

In August 2016, ScanSource announced a new $120 million three-year authorization by its Board of Directors to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Under this authorization through September 30, 2016, the Company has repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares for approximately $16.9 million.

Forecast for Next Quarter

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, ScanSource expects net sales to range from $930 million to $980 million, diluted earnings per share to range from $0.47 to $0.53 per share, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to range from $0.67 to $0.73 per share. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share exclude amortization of intangibles, change in fair value of contingent consideration and acquisition costs.

Chief Financial Officer Resigns to Accept Another Opportunity

Mr. Charles A. Mathis, chief financial officer, advised the company of his intent to resign effective November 11, 2016. Mr. Mathis has accepted a financial executive position in the defense industry, which is the industry he has devoted most of his career. Mr. Mathis has served as the Company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer since December 2012.

“Charlie has been an important part of ScanSource’s growth and success for four years, and we greatly appreciate his contributions to the Company,” said Mike Baur, CEO, ScanSource, Inc. “We thank him for his years of service to the Company and wish him and his family all the best.”

“I have enjoyed building and growing a successful team during my four years,” said Charlie Mathis. “ScanSource is an exciting growth company, and I have developed many great relationships.”

Effective November 11, 2016, Mr. Gerald Lyons will serve as the Company’s interim chief financial officer. Mr. Lyons had been serving as the Company’s senior vice president, corporate controller and principal accounting officer. Mr. Lyons joined the Company in April 2007.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release, including the forecast for next quarter, contains “forward-looking” statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Any number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated or forecasted results, including, but not limited to, expanded international operations that expose the Company to greater risks than its operations in domestic markets; risks in connection with the Company's growth which includes strategic acquisitions; risks in connection with compliance with laws and regulations governing the Company's international business; risks associated with the Company's reliance on key vendors; the ability to forecast volatility in earnings resulting from the quarterly revaluation of the Company's earnout obligations; utilization and further implementation of the Company's new ERP system; macroeconomic circumstances that could impact the business, such as currency fluctuations, credit market conditions, and an economic downturn; expectations of market demand trends; the timing and amount of any share repurchases; the exercise of discretion by the Company to make any repurchase or continue the share repurchase authorization; and changes to the source of funds for any repurchases. For more information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ from anticipated results, see the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are summarized below. Non-GAAP financial measures are used to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period. Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and other non-GAAP adjustments.

Net sales on a constant currency basis: The Company discloses the percentage change in net sales excluding the translation impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between reporting periods. This measure enhances comparability between periods to help analyze underlying trends.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS: To evaluate current period performance on a clearer and more consistent basis with prior periods, the Company discloses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, change in the fair value of contingent consideration, and other non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP EPS measures are useful in assessing and understanding the Company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods.

Return on invested capital ("ROIC"): Management uses ROIC as a performance measurement to assess efficiency in allocating capital under the Company's control to generate returns. Management believes this metric balances the Company's operating results with asset and liability management, is not impacted by capitalization decisions and correlates with shareholder value creation. In addition, it is easily computed, communicated and understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of the Company's profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.

ROIC assists management in comparing the Company's performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance. Adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") excludes the change in fair value of contingent consideration, in addition to other non-GAAP adjustments. Management believes the calculation of ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of the Company's performance during the year. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors uses ROIC in evaluating business and management performance. Certain management incentive compensation targets are set and measured relative to ROIC.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company reports may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the Supplementary Information (Unaudited) below.
