Management Comment
“We delivered robust top line growth, improved profitability, and experienced growth against key metrics in the second quarter. Record gross billings surpassed the prior year’s record showing strong momentum reflecting our customer-first approach as we provide the products and services our clients require, particularly for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity,” commented Mark Marron, President and CEO. “Overall, our solid performance in the second quarter and year to date reflect consistent execution and the strength and breadth of our diversified business model.
“Our strong balance sheet represents a competitive advantage, with our cash position at $381 million at quarter end. During the second quarter we advanced our acquisition strategy with the purchase of certain assets and liabilities of Daymark Solutions, a provider of critical IT solutions and professional services focused on implementing and supporting complex hybrid cloud, cybersecurity, compliance, and data centers. We remain disciplined in our approach to capital allocation, balancing acquisitions with other growth investments and returning capital to shareholders via share repurchases and dividend payments.”
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2027 Results
For the second quarter ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the second quarter ended September 30, 2025:
Net sales increased 9.7% to $667.9 million, from $608.8 million due to higher product sales, partially offset by lower service revenue. Gross billings increased 4.3% to $1,066.8 million from $1,022.7 million.
Product segment sales increased 12.8% to $547.1 million from $485.0 million due to increases in revenue from cloud, security, collaboration and other products, partially offset by a decrease in networking products. Product segment gross margin was 25.8%, up from 24.5% last year due to a shift in product mix, and an increase in sales of third-party maintenance, subscriptions and services that are recognized on a net basis.
Professional services segment revenues decreased 11.3% year over year to $67.8 million from $76.3 million, and gross margin declined to 35.4% from 38.2% during the same period last year due to decreases in revenue and gross profit from project-related services due to delays from retail customers.
Managed services segment revenue increased 11.9% to $53.1 million primarily due to additional revenue from cloud managed services. Gross profit from managed services increased 9.4% year over year due to the increase in revenue, offset by a decrease in gross margin to 28.8% from 29.4% in the prior year quarter.
Gross profit increased 11.2% to $180.3 million, from $162.1 million, due to an increase in gross profit from the product segment and managed services segment, offset by a decrease in the professional services segment. Gross margin was 27.0%, compared with 26.6% in the prior year quarter, due to higher gross margin in the product segment, offset by lower gross margin in the managed services segment and professional services segment.
Operating expenses were $123.8 million, up 9.2% from $113.3 million last year, primarily due to increases in variable compensation commensurate with the increase in gross profit, as well as additional salaries and benefits, general and administrative costs, and expenses related to the acquisition of assets of Daymark Solutions, Inc. (“Daymark”).
Operating income increased 15.8% to $56.5 million. Other income (expense), net was $(0.5) million compared to $5.2 million in the prior year due to a reduction of $3.5 million in the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable recorded as a result of the sale of our domestic financing business, lower interest income and foreign currency transaction losses being recognized in the current year quarter compared to foreign exchange gains in the prior year quarter. Earnings from continuing operations before taxes increased 3.7% to $56.0 million.
The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 27.9%, which was lower than the prior year quarter of 29.3% primarily due to lower state and local income taxes and lower non-deductible expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.3% to $67.1 million from $58.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Fiscal Year Guidance
ePlus is increasing its fiscal year 2027 guidance of year over year growth to the upper single digits for net sales and gross profit, and the low double digits for adjusted EBITDA.
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- or disposition-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 from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year 2027 forecast.
ePlus Announces Quarterly Dividend
ePlus announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per common share which will be paid on December 16, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 24, 2026.

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: depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, acquisition related expenses, provision for income taxes, and other (income) expense, net.
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, net, share-based compensation, acquisition related expense, 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 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):
