Management Comment
"Our results in the second quarter reflect the ongoing evolution of the industry towards ratable and subscription revenue models and slower product sales, partially offset by the continued strength of our services-led approach," said Mark Marron, president and CEO of ePlus. "Notably, we experienced a year on year increase in gross profit and gross margin on lower gross billings and net sales, driven by higher margin services revenues, which increased
"During the quarter, we acquired Bailiwick Services, LLC, which will help us drive core to edge computing solutions for our enterprise customers. In addition, we continue to see a shift towards services and more software and subscription-based sales as a percentage of the whole, and these are often recognized ratably or on a net basis creating a net sales headwind. On the product front, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to progress, and our customers are exploring advantages to integrate AI into various aspects of their businesses."
Mr. Marron continued, "We ended the quarter with a solid balance sheet. Our healthy cash position enabled us to fund the acquisition of Bailiwick in the quarter, with ample additional liquidity to support our capital allocation priorities as we work to deliver increased shareholder value."

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION
We included reconciliations below for the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA for business segments, (iii) non-GAAP Net Earnings and (iv) non-GAAP Net Earnings per Common Share - Diluted.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings calculated in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted for the following: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, provision for income taxes, and other income (expense). Adjusted EBITDA presented for the technology business segments and the financing business segment is defined as operating income calculated in accordance with US 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 business segment and depreciation expense presented within cost of sales, which includes depreciation on assets financed as operating leases, to be operating expenses. As such, they are not included in the amounts added back to net earnings in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.
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.
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 such non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors 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 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 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.
