HERNDON, Va., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ePlus inc. (NASDAQ: PLUS), a leading provider of technology solutions, today announced financial results for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2025, or the third quarter of its 2026 fiscal year.

Management Comment

"We continued to experience strong momentum in our third fiscal quarter as we achieved robust growth, with net sales increasing 24.6% and net earnings from continuing operations more than doubling year over year," said Mark Marron, president and CEO of ePlus. "The scalability of our operating platform has provided operating leverage which is reflected in our growth in gross profit, operating income, adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share."

"Our solid revenue growth reflects, in part, demand for AI that is fueling spend across all of our solution sets including cloud, compute, storage and networking. We continued to see strong revenue growth from our largest enterprise customers, who are modernizing their infrastructure to support their AI initiatives. We also saw strong demand from our mid-market customer base where we have continued to evolve and expand our product and services solutions to meet our customers' needs in today's market," Mr. Marron concluded.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Results

On June 30, 2025, we completed the sale of our domestic financing business. Consequently, alongside the results of our continuing operations, we are retrospectively presenting the results of our domestic financing business as discontinued operations, for all prior periods.

For the third quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the third quarter ended December 31, 2024:

Consolidated net sales increased 24.6% to $614.8 million, from $493.2 million due to higher product sales, offset by lower service revenue. Gross billings increased 15.6% to $982.1 million from $849.5 million.

Product segment sales increased 32.2% to $501.8 million from $379.5 million due to increases in revenue from networking, cloud, security, and collaboration products. Product segment margin was 23.8%, up from 22.1% last year due to a shift in product mix offset by a decrease in the proportion of sales recorded on a net basis.

Professional services segment revenues decreased 7.8% year over year to $64.1 million from $69.5 million, primarily due to project delays by certain retail and consumer customers, offset by increases in consulting revenue. Gross margin decreased to 39.2% from 40.1% during the same period last year due to a shift in the mix of services provided.

Managed services segment revenue increased 10.5% to $48.8 million primarily due to additional revenue from cloud services. Gross profit from our managed services segment increased 7.5% from last year due to the increase in revenue, offset by a decline in gross margin to 29.0% from 29.8% in the prior year quarter.

Consolidated gross profit increased 26.8% to $158.7 million, from $125.1 million. Consolidated gross margin was 25.8%, compared with 25.4% in the prior year quarter.

Consolidated operating expenses were $115.2 million, up 6.1% from $108.6 million last year, primarily due to an increase in variable compensation commensurate with the increase in gross profit.

Consolidated operating income increased 163.9% to $43.5 million. Other income was $2.1 million compared to $3.4 million last year. Earnings from continuing operations before taxes increased 128.9% to $45.6 million.

Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 26.7%, which was lower than the prior year quarter of 26.9%.

Net earnings from continuing operations increased 129.3% to $33.4 million from $14.6 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 97.4% to $53.4 million from $27.0 million in the prior year quarter. Net earnings from continuing operations per common share-diluted was $1.27, compared with $0.55 in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP net earnings per common share from continuing operations was $1.45, compared with $0.71 in the prior year quarter.

Net earnings from discontinued operations, for the three months ending December 31, 2025, was $1.7 million primarily due to the settlement of a legal matter, as compared to $9.6 million for the same three-month period in the prior year. Net earnings from discontinued operations per common share-diluted was $0.06, compared with $0.36 in the prior year quarter.

First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2026 Results

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024:

Consolidated net sales increased 22.2% to $1,860.9 million, from $1,522.2 million due to higher product sales and higher services revenue. Gross billings increased 18.7% to $2,957.5 million from $2,491.5 million.

Product segment sales increased 22.9% to $1,507.7 million from $1,226.4 million due to increases in revenue from cloud, networking, and security products, offset by a decline in collaboration products. Product segment margin was 22.9%, up from 22.2% last year due to a shift in product mix.

Professional services segment revenues increased 25.8% year over year to $212.1 million from $168.7 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Bailiwick Services, LLC, on August 19, 2024. Professional services gross margin declined to 38.9% from 40.8% during the same period last year due to the addition of Bailiwick Services, LLC, which has services margins that are generally lower than our legacy professional services.

Managed services segment revenue increased 11.0% to $140.8 million, primarily due to additional sales of enhanced maintenance support and cloud services. Gross profit from the managed services segment increased 8.6% from last year due to the increase in revenue, offset by a decline in gross margin to 29.6% from 30.2% in the prior year nine-month period.

Consolidated gross profit increased 23.7% to $469.0 million, from $379.3 million. Consolidated gross margin was 25.2%, compared with last year's 24.9%.

Consolidated operating expenses were $340.5 million, up 11.9% from $304.3 million last year, primarily due to increases in variable compensation commensurate with the increase in our gross profit, as well as additional salaries and benefits and general and administrative costs.

Consolidated operating income increased 71.5% to $128.5 million. Other income was $7.9 million compared to $5.5 million last year, due to increased interest income. Earnings from continuing operations before taxes increased 69.7% to $136.4 million.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, was 27.6%, higher than the same nine-month period in the prior year of 27.2%.

Net earnings from continuing operations increased 68.5% to $98.7 million from $58.6 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 55.0% to $158.8 million from $102.4 million in the prior year nine-month period. Net earnings from continuing operations per common share-diluted was $3.74, compared with $2.19 in the prior year. Non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations per common share-diluted was $4.23, compared with $2.66 in the prior year.

Net earnings from discontinued operations, for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, were $8.9 million, a decrease of $15.3 million, as compared to $24.2 million for the same nine-month period in the prior year. The decrease was due to the sale of our domestic financing business on June 30, 2025. Net earnings from discontinued operations per common share-diluted was $0.34, compared with $0.91 in the prior year nine-month period.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $326.3 million, down from $389.4 million as of March 31, 2025. Inventory increased 100.1% to $241.0 million as of December 31, 2025 compared with $120.4 million as of March 31, 2025 due to an increase in projects in process. Accounts receivable--trade, net increased 35.0% to $698.0 million as of December 31, 2025 from $516.9 million as of March 31, 2025. Total stockholders' equity was $1,063.3 million as of December 31, 2025, compared with $977.6 million as of March 31, 2025. Total shares outstanding were 26.4 million and 26.5 million on December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Fiscal Year Guidance

Based on our strong performance year to date and the momentum we see ahead, the Company is raising its fiscal year 2026 guidance for net sales, gross profit, and Adjusted EBITDA. Net sales is now expected to increase 20% to 22% year-over-year, an increase from the prior guidance of mid-teens. This increase is against Fiscal Year 2025's $2.01B from continuing operations. Gross profit is expected to grow at a rate of 19% to 21% now, as compared to the prior guidance of mid-teens from fiscal year 2025's $515.5 million from continuing operations. We now expect Adjusted EBITDA to increase 41% to 43% over our Fiscal Year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $141M from continuing operations. This is an increase from our prior guidance that was twice the pace of net sales when net sales was expected to be in the mid-teens.

This guidance does not factor in recessionary conditions or other unexpected developments. ePlus cannot predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, the ultimate outcome of unusual gains and losses, the occurrence of matters creating GAAP tax impacts, fluctuations in interest expense or interest income and share-based compensation, and acquisition-related expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to ePlus' results computed in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, ePlus is unable to provide a reconciliation of GAAP net earnings to adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year 2026 forecast.

Summary and Outlook

"As a result of our strong third quarter and nine-month results, we are raising our fiscal year 2026 guidance.

"Our teams remain committed to executing on our long-term strategy centered on expanding services and value-added solutions, delivering consistent growth, maintaining strong financial discipline and returning capital to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. We will continue to take a disciplined approach to capital deployment, prioritizing investments in our core business, strengthening our capabilities, and focusing on areas where we can achieve sustainable competitive advantages, all while preserving a healthy balance sheet. We are executing from a position of strength, delivering solid near-term performance while investing strategically for the future. All of this positions us well to deliver sustainable growth over the long term and lasting value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Marron.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION

We included reconciliations below for the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and (iii) Non-GAAP Net earnings from continuing operations per common share - diluted.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings from continuing operations calculated in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted for the following: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, acquisition related and integration expenses, provision for income taxes, and other income (expense).

Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP Net earnings from continuing operations per common share - diluted are based on net earnings from continuing operations calculated in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted to exclude other (income) expense, share-based compensation, and acquisition related amortization and integration expenses, and the related tax effects.

We use the above non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our performance to gain insight into our operating performance and performance trends. We believe that these financial measures provide management and investors with a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business and operating results by excluding items that management believes are not reflective of our underlying operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.

Our use of non-GAAP information as analytical tools has limitations, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under US GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations per common share-diluted, or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

The amounts in the tables below are results from our continuing operations (in thousands):
