Management Comment

“Second quarter results demonstrated the continuing benefits of our strategic focus on high growth areas of IT spending and the investments we have made to deliver complex solutions. Revenue growth of 19.3% for the quarter resulted primarily from capturing market share within our middle-market, enterprise, and international customer base, and new logo acquisition. Services revenue increased 35.1% and accounted for 11.7% of net sales. Sales of security products and services accounted for 20.1% of trailing twelve months adjusted gross billings, up 110 basis points year-on-year, and continue to represent a critical need for our entire customer base,” said Mark Marron, CEO and President of ePlus.

“Higher sales and a 20 basis point increase in gross margin helped drive a 20.5% increase in gross profit, and an 18.3% increase in non-GAAP diluted EPS.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results

For the second quarter ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year ended September 30, 2018:

Consolidated net sales increased 19.3% to $411.6 million, from $345.0 million.

Technology segment net sales increased 18.8% to $397.7 million, from $334.8 million primarily from an increase in sales to customers in the telecom, media and entertainment industry. Service revenues increased 35.1% to $48.1 million, from $35.6 million due to increases across all our services offerings including professional and managed and staff augmentation.

Adjusted gross billings increased 19.2% to $579.1 million due, in part, to organic growth and the acquisitions of SLAIT Consulting, LLC in January 2019 and ABS Technology in August 2019.

Financing segment net sales increased 34.8% to $13.8 million, from $10.3 million, primarily due to an increase in transactional gains.

Consolidated gross profit increased 20.5% to $103.0 million, from $85.5 million. Consolidated gross margin increased to 25.0% from 24.8% last year, due to higher service revenues.

Operating expenses increased 22.5% to $74.7 million, from $60.9 million, primarily due to an increase in variable compensation and additional costs associated with the acquisitions and operations of SLAIT Consulting, LLC and ABS Technology.

Consolidated operating income increased 15.5% to $28.4 million.

Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 29.1%, compared with 27.7% in the prior year quarter, due primarily to an increase in estimated permanent items.

Net earnings increased 11.6% to $20.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.5% to $35.4 million, from $29.9 million.

Diluted earnings per share was $1.51, compared with $1.33 in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.81, compared with $1.53 last year.

First Half Fiscal 2020 Results

For the six months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the six months of the prior fiscal year ended September 30, 2018:

Consolidated net sales increased 13.0% to $792.9 million, from $701.6 million.

Technology segment net sales increased 12.4% to $766.3 million, from $681.6 million. Service revenues increased 35.4% to $93.8 million, from $69.3 million.

Adjusted gross billings increased 16.5% to $1,127.4 million due, in part, to organic growth as well as the acquisitions of SLAIT Consulting, LLC in January 2019 and ABS Technology in August 2019.

Financing segment net sales increased 33.8% to $26.7 million, from $19.9 million, primarily due to an increase in transactional gains.

Consolidated gross profit increased 17.7% to $195.7 million, from $166.2 million. Consolidated gross margin improved 100 basis points to 24.7%, compared with 23.7% last year, due to a shift in mix towards third-party maintenance, software assurance, subscription/SaaS licenses, and services as well as higher service revenues.

Operating expenses increased 19.3% to $144.5 million, from $121.2 million, primarily due to an increase in variable compensation and additional costs associated with the acquisitions and operations of SLAIT Consulting, LLC and ABS Technology.

Consolidated operating income increased 13.5% to $51.1 million.

Our effective tax rate for the current period was 28.9%, compared with 26.8% in the prior year. The increase in the rate was primarily due to a decrease in the tax benefit on the vesting of restricted stock and an increase in estimated permanent items.

Net earnings increased 9.0% to $36.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.8% to $64.0 million, from $55.3 million.

Diluted earnings per share was $2.71, compared with $2.45 in the prior year period. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $3.26, compared with $2.81 last year.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2019, ePlus had cash and cash equivalents of $55.8 million, compared with $79.8 million as of March 31, 2019. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to investments in our financing portfolio, and share repurchases totaling $13.7 million. Total stockholders' equity was $450.3 million, compared with $424.3 million as of March 31, 2019. Total shares outstanding were 13.5 million and 13.6 million on September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

Summary and Outlook

“Strong first half results affirm ePlus’ strategy of investing in solution areas most in-demand by our customers, and providing industry-leading consultative, advisory, and managed services. Our ability to provide transformative solutions such as cloud migration strategies, integrated cyber security programs and digital business transformation initiatives, along with our core cloud, security and digital infrastructure offerings, is resonating with our middle market, enterprise, and multi-national customers and allowing us to capture market-share.

“We continue to expand our footprint and service offerings by seeking acquisitions to complement our organic growth. In August we acquired ABS Technology, which expanded our position in the mid-Atlantic region, especially in the state, local, and education (SLED) market. With a strong balance sheet and proven track record, we expect to continue to invest organically and through acquisitions to support our future growth,” Mr. Marron concluded.

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.
