Management Commentary
“Our Q2 results were highlighted by another period of improved profitability as we generated a double digit increase in gross profit and material increases in net income and adjusted EBITDA,” said CEO Dale Foster. “We also expanded our leadership team during the quarter with the promotion of Tim Popovich as President of Climb North America. With over 18 years of experience at Climb and even longer in the IT channel, Tim brings a wealth of expertise to the business as a key executive.
“As we progress through the second half of the year, we plan to continue executing on our core initiatives – generating organic growth with existing vendors and customers while adding new emerging vendors to our line card. We will also continue to evaluate M&A opportunities that can enhance our geographic footprint and service offerings and anticipate sharing further updates this quarter. We are closely monitoring the evolving macroeconomic conditions and its potential impact on our business, however we believe we are well positioned to continue driving growth through our global network of vendors and customers.”

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this release concerning the Company’s future prospects are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. In this press release, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “confident,” “may,” “can,” “potential,” “possible,” “proposed,” “in process,” “under construction,” “in development,” “opportunity,” “target,” “outlook,” “maintain,” “continue,” “goal,” “aim,” “commit,” or similar expressions, or when we discuss our priorities, strategy, goals, vision, mission, opportunities, projections, intentions or expectations.

We use adjusted gross billings of product and services as a supplemental measure of our performance to gain insight into the volume of business generated by our business, and to analyze the changes to our accounts receivable and accounts payable. Our use of adjusted gross billings of product and services 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 US GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate adjusted gross billings of product and services or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.
