Quarterly Highlights
-
Strong performance across our vertical markets:
- Healthcare saw revenue growth of 29% year-over-year which was largely attributed to organizations striving to improve overall productivity and patient care.
- In the Retail vertical, we grew revenue 31% year-over-year as we saw companies invest to improve the technology experience and employee efficiency.
- Revenue for the Manufacturing vertical also increased slightly year-over-year as companies continue to invest in core IT technologies including cloud, infrastructure, security, and workplace productivity.
Quarterly Performance by Segment:
- Net sales for the Business Solutions segment increased by 14.4% to $303.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $265.2 million in the prior year quarter. Gross profit increased by 14.4% to $58.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $50.7 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin remained relatively flat at 19.1%.
- Net sales for the Public Sector Solutions segment decreased by 4.1% to $129.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $134.9 million in the prior year quarter. Sales to state and local government and educational institutions increased by 9.1%, compared to the prior year quarter, while sales to the federal government decreased by 35.3% primarily due to the timing of customer rollouts. Gross profit increased slightly to $18.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $18.5 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin increased by 69 basis points to 14.4% primarily due to a change in product and customer mix.
- Net sales for the Enterprise Solutions segment increased by 33.3% to $367.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $275.6 million in the prior year quarter. Gross profit increased by 27.1% to $50.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $39.7 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin decreased by 67 basis points to 13.7% primarily due to a higher mix of end-point devices.
Quarterly Sales by Product Mix:
- Notebook/mobility sales, the Company’s largest product category, increased 32% year over year and accounted for 38% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 34% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in this product category was primarily due to the growing hybrid work environment.
- Accessories sales increased by 5% year over year and accounted for 11% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 13% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2020.
- Software sales increased by 14% year over year and accounted for 11% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 12% in the fourth quarter of 2020.
- Desktop sales increased by 24% year over year and accounted for 10% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 9% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $95.7 million from $89.1 million in the prior year quarter. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 12.0%, compared to 13.2% in the prior year quarter. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to an increase in variable compensation due to the higher levels of gross profit and an increase in employee benefit costs.
Cash and cash equivalents were $108.3 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $95.7 million at December 31, 2020.

| 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. | |||||||||||||||||||

| ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE | |||||||||||||||||||
| A reconciliation from Net Income to Adjusted Net Income is detailed below. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net Income plus restructuring and other charges, net of tax. A reconciliation from Diluted Earnings per Share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is detailed below. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is defined Diluted Earnings per Shared adjusted for restructuring and other charges, net of tax. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are considered non-GAAP financial measures (see note above in Adjusted EBITDA for a description of non-GAAP financial measures). The Company believes that these non-GAAP disclosures provide helpful information with respect to the Company's operating performance. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share in addition to, and not as alternatives for Net income and Diluted Earnings per Share or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. | |||||||||||||||||||
