(NASDAQ: PLUS), a leading provider of technology solutions, today announced financial results for the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, or the fourth quarter of its 2026 fiscal year. Management Comment"In the fourth quarter, we achieved double digit growth across both net sales and gross billings, demonstrating expanding market share, and underscoring the durability and resilience of our business, " said Mark Marron, president and CEO of ePlus. "We had a very strong fiscal 2026 signaling strong execution from our team. We saw revenue grow 22% to $2.4 billion and gross billings expand to $3.8 billion, an increase of 17% while generating adjusted EBITDA of $205 million, an increase of 50%, delivering meaningful operating leverage for the year. With a healthy balance sheet, including cash of $411 million, we continued to enhance shareholder value through a share repurchase plan and are increasing our quarterly dividend by 8% to $0.27 per common share. "ePlus' services-led strategy, especially as it relates to the leveraging of our AI consulting services capabilities, makes us nimble enough to capture emerging opportunities and large enough to scale solutions for large enterprises, enabling us to help our customers in a rapidly evolving IT environment. We believe we are well positioned to capture market opportunity and scale growth over the long term," Mr. Marron concluded.Fourth 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 fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025:Net sales increased 20.6% to $576.2 million, from $477.9 million due to higher product sales and higher service revenue. Gross billings increased 11.7% to $881.0 million from $789.0 million. Product segment sales increased 25.0% to $466.1 million from $373.0 million due to increases in revenue from networking, cloud, security, and collaboration products. Product segment gross margin was 22.2%, down from 24.7% last year due to a shift in product mix along with a decrease in the proportion of sales recorded on a net basis.Professional services segment revenues increased 1.6% year over year to $61.3 million from $60.4 million, primarily due to increases in project services revenue, offset by decreases in consulting and staff augmentation revenues. Gross margin increased to 38.3% from 35.9% during the same period last year due to a shift in mix.Managed services segment revenue increased 9.3% to $48.7 million primarily due to additional revenue from cloud services. Gross profit from our managed services segment increased 14.3% from last year due to the increase in revenue and an increase in gross margin to 30.5% from 29.1% in the prior year quarter.Gross profit increased 11.6% to $141.6 million, from $126.9 million, due to increases in all three segments. Gross margin was 24.6%, compared with 26.5% in the prior year quarter, due to lower gross margin from our product segment.Operating expenses were $110.7 million, up 2.4% from $108.1 million last year, primarily due to an increase in variable compensation and share-based compensation. Operating income increased 64.7% to $30.9 million.

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 2027 forecast.Summary and Outlook "As we look ahead to fiscal 2027, we are operating from a position of strength with solid industry fundamentals that support growth for the coming year. Our long-term strategy includes expanding and enhancing our solutions, services and footprint, and deepening our customer relationships all while delivering solid financial performance. We have a strong financial position and healthy liquidity, enabling a disciplined capital allocation approach that fuels long-term growth organically and with M&A opportunities. We remain committed to enhancing shareholder returns over time," concluded Mr. Marron.ePlus Announces Quarterly DividendePlus announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per common share which will be paid on June 30, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 17, 2026.

Amounts for 2025 reflect the correction of certain misstatements, which we determined are not material either individually or in the aggregate. See our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026, including Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information.ePlus inc. AND SUBSIDIARIESRECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATIONWe 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 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 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):(i) Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

(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.

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.

Total shares outstanding were 26.4 million and 26.5 million on December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.Fiscal Year GuidanceBased 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.ePlus Announces Quarterly DividendePlus announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share which will be paid on March 18, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 24, 2026.

AND SUBSIDIARIESRECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATIONWe 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):(i) Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
