  1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS — Our company was founded in 1990 and is a Delaware corporation. e Plus inc. is sometimes referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” or “e Plus.”e Plus inc. is a holding company that through its subsidiaries provides information technology (“IT”) solutions which enable organizations to optimize their IT environment and supply chain processes. We also provide consulting, professional, and managed services and complete lifecycle management services including flexible financing solutions. We focus on selling to medium and large enterprises andstate and local government and educational institutions (“SLED”) in the United States (“US”) and select international markets including the United Kingdom (“UK”), the European Union (“EU”), India, and Singapore.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts ofe Plus inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounts of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the US requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual asset values, vendor consideration, lease classification, goodwill and intangible assets, allowance for credit losses, inventory obsolescence, and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and other provisions and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES — We maintain an allowance for credit losses related to our accounts receivable and financing receivables. We record an expense in the amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to our current estimate of expected credit losses on financial assets. We estimate expected credit losses based on our internal rating of the customer’s credit quality, our historical credit losses, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Prior to providing credit, we assign an internal rating for each customer’s credit quality based on the customer’s financial status, rating agency reports and other financial information. We review our internal ratings for each customer at least annually or when there is an indicator of a change in credit quality, such as a delinquency or bankruptcy. We write off financing receivables when we deem them to be uncollectable.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS — We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires that the total purchase price for the acquired entity be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. With limited exceptions, we measure most assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date. We apply Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) Topic 606, Contracts with customers (“Codification Topic 606”), to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers. Our allocation process requires an analysis of intangible assets, such as customer relationships, trade names, acquired contractual rights and legal contingencies to identify and record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

We record any premium paid over the fair value of the acquired net assets as goodwill. Our initial purchase price allocations are subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. We include the results of operations for the acquired company in our financial statements from the acquisition date.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS — Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of interest-bearing accounts and money market funds that consist of short-term US treasury securities. We consider all highly liquid investments, including those with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition, to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, there wereno restrictions on the withdrawal of funds from our money market funds.

CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK — Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and financing receivables. Cash and cash equivalents may include short-term investments that are maintained principally with financial institutions in the US. Our accounts receivable-trade balance on both March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024 included approximately 17% concentration of invoices due from Verizon Communications Inc. Our risk on our accounts receivable and financing receivables is reduced by having a broad customer base in a diverse range of industries and through the ongoing evaluation of collectability of our portfolio. Our credit risk is further mitigated by transferring certain of our financing receivables to financial institutions on a non-recourse basis and, for our lease receivables, by owning the underlying asset. A substantial portion of our sales are products from Cisco Systems, which represented approximately 32%,44%, and 40%, of our technology business segments net sales for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

CONTRACT ASSETS — We recognize contract assets when we recognize revenue and our right to consideration is conditioned on our future performance.

CONTRACT LIABILITIES — We recognize contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance.

DEFERRED COSTS — When a contract is within the scope of Codification Topic 606, we defer costs of fulfilling the contract when they generate or enhance resources that will be used by us in satisfying performance obligations in the future. Additionally, we capitalize costs that are incremental to obtaining the contracts, predominately sales commissions, and expense them in proportion to each completed contract performance obligation. Our long-term deferred costs are included in our consolidated balance sheets as part of property, equipment, and other assets—net.

EARNINGS PER SHARE — Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could participate in our earnings, including restricted stock awards during each period.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT — We follow the guidance in Codification Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements (“Codification Topic 820”) which governs how to measure fair value for financial reporting. This topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values are determined based on model-based techniques such as discounted cash flow models using inputs that we could not corroborate with market data.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS — For financial instruments such as cash, short-term investments, accounts receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities, we consider the recorded value of the financial instruments to approximate the fair value due to their short maturities. On March 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of our notes receivable and non-recourse payables were $221.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively, and their fair values were $223.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively. On March 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of our notes receivable and non-recourse payables were $108.2 million and $36.2 million, respectively, and their fair values were $106.3 million and $36.1 million, respectively.

FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND OPERATING LEASES — Financing receivables and operating leases consist of the financing receivables from notes receivable and sales-type leases and the carrying value of assets that we are leasing to our customers on leases that are classified as operating leases. When we lease equipment under an operating lease, we recognize the underlying asset at cost and depreciate it on a straight-line bases over its estimated useful life. We estimate that the useful life for most IT equipment under lease is 4 years.

FOREIGN CURRENCY MATTERS — Our functional currency is the US dollar. Our international subsidiaries typically use their local currency as their functional currency. We translate the assets and liabilities of our international subsidiaries into US dollars at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. We translate the revenues and expenses of our international subsidiaries into US dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. We report the resulting foreign currency translation adjustment as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We report all foreign currency transaction gains or losses in other income (expense), net on our consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recognized losses of $1.2 million, $0.1 million, and $5.4 million, respectively, due to foreign currency transactions.

GOODWILL — We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of October 1, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

In a qualitative assessment, we assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary.

If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We may also elect the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test.

In the quantitative impairment test, we compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. Conversely, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

IMPLEMENTATION COSTS OF A HOSTING ARRANGEMENT- We capitalize implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. We classify these capitalized costs in the same balance sheet line item as the amounts prepaid for the related hosting arrangement and we present the amortization of these capitalized costs in the same income statement line item as the service fees for the related hosting arrangement. Our long-term prepaids are included in our consolidated balance sheets as part of property, equipment, and other assets—net. We amortize the capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement.

INCOME TAXES — Deferred income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Codification Topic 740 Income Taxes (“Codification Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using tax rates currently in effect. Future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry-forwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered to be more likely than not. We review our deferred tax assets at least annually and make necessary valuation adjustments.

In addition, we account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with Codification Topic 740. Specifically, the Topic prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on the related de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure, and transition of uncertain tax positions. In accordance with our accounting policy, we recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense.

INVENTORIES — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using a weighted average cost method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Our determination of the net realizable value for inventories is based on the terms of underlying purchase commitments from our customers, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors.

LESSEE ACCOUNTING — We lease office space for periods up tosix years and lease warehouse space for periods of up to 10 years, and we have some lease options that can be exercised to extend beyond those lease term limits. At the lease commencement date, we recognize operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments. In determining the present value of future minimum lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date. When the future minimum payments encompass non-lease components, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term beginning on the commencement date.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT — Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. We recognize property and equipment obtained through a business combination at its fair market value as of the acquisition date. We compute depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three toseven years. We typically depreciate internal use IT equipment over three years, perpetual software licenses over five years, and furniture and fixtures over five years.

RESIDUAL ASSETS — Our estimate for the residual asset in a lease is the amount we expect to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term. In a sales-type lease, we recognize the unguaranteed residual asset, measured on a discounted basis, upon lease commencement. In our subsequent accounting for the lease, we increase the unguaranteed residual asset using the effective interest method. We evaluate residual values for impairment on a quarterly basis. We recognize impairments as incurred. We do not recognize upward adjustments due to changes in estimates of residual values.

REVENUE RECOGNITION — We recognize most of our revenues from the sales of third-party products, third-party software, third-party maintenance, software support, and services, e Plus professional and managed services, and hostinge Plus proprietary software. We recognize revenue from these sales under the guidance in Codification Topic 606.

The core principle of Codification Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods and services equal to an amount it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods and services. We account for a contract under Codification Topic 606 when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.

Revenues are reported net of sales refunds, including an estimate of future returns based on an evaluation of historical sales returns, current economic conditions, volume, and other relevant factors.

Our contracts with customers may include multiple promises that are distinct performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices using expected cost-plus margin.

We recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. A good or service is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that good or service. Depending on the nature of each performance obligation, this may be at a point in time or over time, as further described below.

We typically invoice our customers for third-party products upon shipment, unless our customers lease the equipment through our financing segment, in which case the arrangement is accounted for as a lease in accordance with Codification Topic 842, Leases(“Codification Topic 842”). We typically invoice our customers for third-party software upon delivery and third-party services at the point of sale, unless our customers finance these products through our financing segment, in which case we record a financing receivable based on the terms of the arrangement.

Product revenue

Sales of third-party products

We are the principal in sales of third-party products. As such, we recognize sales on a gross basis with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recognized as cost of sales. We recognize revenue from these sales at the point in time that control passes to the customer, which is typically upon delivery of the product to the customer.

In some instances, our customers may request that we bill them for a product but retain physical possession of the product until later delivery, commonly known as “bill-and-hold” arrangements. We have warehousing agreements with select customers wherein title to products ordered through the agreements transfers to our customer at the point we invoice the customer and after the product arrives at our warehouse. In these “bill-and-hold” arrangements, we recognize revenue when the customer has ordered the product through their warehousing agreement with us or signed a bill-and-hold agreement with us, the customer has legal title, the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer, and the product is ready for delivery to the customer.

We recognize sales of off-lease equipment within our financing segment when control passes to the customer, which is typically the date that title to the equipment is transferred per the sales agreement.

Sales of third-party software

We are typically the principal in sales of third-party software. Sales are recognized on a gross basis with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recognized as cost of sales. We recognize revenue from these sales at the point in time that control passes to the customer, which is typically upon delivery of the software to the customer.

Sales of third-party maintenance, software support, services, and software that benefits the customer only in conjunction with accompanying support

We are the agent in sales of third-party maintenance, software support, and services as the third-party controls the service until it is transferred to the customer. Similarly, we are the agent in sales of third-party software and accompanying third-party support when the third-party software benefits the customer only in conjunction with the accompanying support. In these sales, we consider the third-party software and support as inputs to a single performance obligation. In all these sales where we are the agent, we recognize sales on a net basis at the point that our customer and vendor accept the terms and conditions of the arrangement.

Freight and sales tax

We present freight billed to our customers within sales and the related freight charged to us within cost of sales. We present sales tax collected from customers and remittances to governmental authorities on a net basis.

Financing revenue and other

We account for leases to customers in accordance with Codification Topic 842. We utilize a portfolio approach by grouping together many similar assets being leased to a single customer.

We classify our leases as either sales-type leases or operating leases. We classify leases as sales-type leases if any one of five criteria are met, each of which indicate that the lease transfers control of the underlying asset to the lessee. We classify our other leases as operating leases.

For sales-type leases, upon lease commencement, we recognize the present value of the lease payments, and the residual asset discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. When we are financing equipment provided by another dealer, we typically do not have any selling profit or loss arising from the lease. When we are the dealer of the equipment being leased, we typically recognize revenue in the amount of the lease receivable and cost of sales in the amount of the carrying value of the underlying asset minus the unguaranteed residual asset. After the commencement date, we recognize interest income as part of net sales using the effective interest method.

For operating leases, we recognize the underlying asset as an operating lease asset. We depreciate the asset on a straight-line basis to its estimated residual value over its estimated useful life. We recognize the lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis as part of net sales.

In all our leases, we recognize variable lease payments, primarily reimbursement for property taxes associated with the leased asset, as part of net sales in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. We exclude from revenues and expenses any sales taxes reimbursed by the lessee.

We also finance third-party software and third-party services for our customers, which we classify as notes-receivable.

We recognize interest income on our notes-receivable using the effective interest method.

We account for transfers of contractual payments due under financing receivables, under Codification Topic 860 Transfers and Servicing (“Codification Topic 860”). When a transfer meets all the requirements for sale accounting, we derecognize the financial asset and record a net gain or loss that is included in net sales.

Service revenue

Sales of ePlus professional services and managed services

Our professional services offerings include consulting, architecture, deployment, and configuration services, software adoption services, training services, assessments, logistics, and staffing. Our managed service offerings range from monitoring and notification to fully outsourced network management and service desk solutions. In all these arrangements, we satisfy our performance obligation and recognize revenue over time.

In arrangements fore Plus professional services, we provide services under both time and materials and fixed price contracts. When services are provided on a time and materials basis, we recognize sales at agreed-upon billing rates as services are performed. When services are provided on a fixed fee basis, we recognize sales over time in proportion to our progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. We utilize output and input methods to measure progress. Our input methods that we utilize include measuring costs incurred in proportion to total estimated costs, commonly referred to as the “cost-to-cost” method, and measuring service hours in proportion to total estimated service hours.

Our professional services offerings include projects where products and services are delivered together to satisfyone performance obligation. In these arrangements, we recognize the entire arrangement in professional services and include the cost of the products as part of cost of sales for professional services.

In arrangements fore Plus managed services, our arrangement is typically a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). We typically recognize sales from these services on a straight-line basis over the period services are provided.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION — We account for share-based compensation in accordance with Codification Topic 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. We account for forfeitures when they occur. We recognize compensation cost for awards of restricted stock with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We recognize compensation cost for our employee stock purchase plan on a straight-line basis over the offering period, which issix months. We measure the award on the grant date at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS — We capitalize costs for the development of internal use software under the Codification Topic 350-40 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Subtopic Internal-Use Software. We didnot have significant capitalized development costs for internal use software for either of the years ended March 31, 2025, or March 31, 2024.

TREASURY STOCK — We account for treasury stock under the cost method and include treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

VENDOR CONSIDERATION — We receive payments and credits from vendors pursuant to volume incentive programs and shared marketing expense programs. Many of these programs extend over one or more quarters’ sales activities. Different programs have different vendor/program specific milestones to achieve. Amounts due from vendors as of March 31, 2025, and 2024 were $15.5 million and $28.1 million, respectively, which were included within accounts receivable-other, net in the accompanying balance sheets.

We recognize rebates pursuant to volume incentive programs as a reduction of costs to purchase the vendor’s products based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration offered to the underlying transactions that result in our progress toward earning the rebate provided the amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. When a rebate is not probable or not reasonably estimable, we recognized the rebate as the milestones are achieved or as cash is received.

We recognize rebates pursuant to shared marketing expense programs as a reduction of the related selling and administrative expenses in the period the program occurs when the consideration represents a reimbursement of specific, incremental, identifiable costs. We recognize consideration that exceeds the specific, incremental, identifiable costs as a reduction of costs to purchase the vendor’s products.

  1. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This update expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. We adopted this update in our annual period ending March 31, 2025 with comparative periods updated to reflect additional disclosures. This standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures. See Note 17, “Segment Reporting” for our inclusion of the new disclosures.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.

  1. FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND OPERATING LEASES

Our financing receivables and operating leases consist of our financing receivables from notes receivable and sales-type leases and the carrying value of our assets that we are leasing to our customers on leases that are classified as operating leases. We generally lease IT, communication, and medical equipment. Our lease terms generally range from 2 to 6 years, with most terms ranging between 3 to 4 years. Our leases often provide the lessee the option to purchase the underlying asset at the end of the lease term. Occasionally, our leases provide the lessee a bargain purchase option. We classify our leases as either sales-type leases or operating leases. Additionally, we finance purchases of third-party software and third-party services for our customers, which we classify as notes receivable.

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

We enter into arrangements to transfer the contractual payments due under financing receivables and operating lease agreements.

For transfers accounted for as a secured borrowing, the corresponding investments serve as collateral for non-recourse notes payable. As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, we had financing receivables of $42.9 million and $45.8 million, respectively, and operating leases of $0.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively which were collateral for non-recourse notes payable. See Note 9, “Notes Payable and Credit Facility.”

For transfers accounted for as sales, we derecognize the carrying value of the financial asset transferred plus any liability and recognize a net gain or loss on the sale, which are presented within net sales in the consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recognized net gains of $28.9 million, $19.0 million, and $16.1 million, respectively, and total proceeds from these sales were $634.9 million, $762.6 million, and $706.0 million, respectively.

When we retain servicing obligations in transfers accounted for as sales, we allocate a portion of the proceeds to deferred revenues, which is recognized as we perform the services. As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, we had deferred revenue of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for servicing obligations.

In a limited number of transfers accounted for as sales, we indemnified the assignee if the lessee elects to early terminate the lease. As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the total potential payments that could result from these indemnities was immaterial.

  1. LESSEE ACCOUNTING

We lease office space for periods up tosix years and lease warehouse space for periods of up toten years, and we have some lease options that can be exercised to extend beyond those lease term limits.

Foreign currency translations397450
Balance, March 31, 2025 (1)$129,177$63,779$9,902$202,858

(1)

Balance is net of $8,673 thousand in accumulated impairments that were recorded in segments that preceded our current segment organization.

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets that are individually identified and separately recognized in business combinations.

Our goodwill balance increased by $41.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, due to our acquisition of Bailiwick Services, LLC (“Bailiwick”) that closed on August 19, 2024. Please refer to Note 16, “Business Combinations” for details of our acquisitions.

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of our third fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

In our annual test as of October 1, 2024, we performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill and concluded that, more likely than not, the fair value of our product, professional services, and managed services reporting units continued to exceed their carrying value.

We evaluate our customers using an internally assigned credit quality rating “CQR.” The CQR categories of our financing receivables are:

High CQR: This rating includes accounts with excellent to good business credit, asset quality and capacity to meet financial obligations. Loss rates in this category are generally less than 1%.

Average CQR: This rating includes accounts with average credit risk that are more susceptible to loss in the event of adverse business or economic conditions. Loss rates in this category are in the range of 1% to 8%.

Low CQR: This rating includes accounts that are impaired or may become impaired due to marginal credit and other events or risks that may impact collection. The loss rates in this category in the normal course are greater than 8% and up to 100%.

  1. NOTES PAYABLE AND CREDIT FACILITY

CREDIT FACILITY

We finance the operations of our subsidiariese Plus Technology, inc. ande Plus Technology Services, inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) in our technology business through a credit facility with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (“WFCDF”). The WFCDF credit facility (the “WFCDF Credit Facility”) has a floor plan facility and a revolving credit facility.

Our credit facility is provided by a syndicate of banks for which WFCDF acts as administrative agent and consists of a discretionary senior secured floor plan facility in favor of the Borrowers in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, together with a sublimit for a revolving credit facility for up to $200.0 million.

We use the floor plan facility to facilitate the purchase of inventory from designated suppliers. WFCDF pays our suppliers and provides us extended payment terms. We pay down the floor plan facility onthree specified dates each month, generally 45-60 days from the invoice date. We normally do not incur any interest for balances under the floor plan facility. We pay an unused commitment fee in months that our floor plan utilization is below certain thresholds. We are not involved in establishing the terms or conditions of the arrangements between our suppliers and WFCDF.

The following table provides roll forwards of our outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the floor plan facility for the years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 (in thousands):

Confirmed invoices paid during the year(707,926)(838,952)
Confirmed obligations at the end of the year$89,527$105,104

Our liability under the accounts payable floor plan facility is presented as accounts payable – floor plan on our balance sheet.

We may use the revolving credit facility for our borrowing needs. We didnot have any outstanding balances under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.

The amount of principal available is subject to a borrowing base determined by, among other things, the Borrowers’ accounts receivable and inventory, each pursuant to a formula and subject to certain reserves. Loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR Rate plus a Term SOFR Adjustment of 0.10% plus an Applicable Margin of 1.75%.

We did not have any outstanding debt on the accounts receivable component of our WFCDF Credit Facility during the year ended March 31, 2025. We had an average borrowing balance of $18.4 million and a weighted average interest rate on the accounts receivable component of our WFCDF Credit Facility of 7.07% during our year ended March 31, 2024.

Our borrowings under the WFCDF Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Borrowers. Additionally, the WFCDF Credit Facility requires a guaranty of $10.5 million bye Plus inc.

Under the WFCDF Credit Facility, the Borrowers are restricted in their ability to pay dividends toe Plus inc. unless their available borrowing meets or met certain thresholds. As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, their available borrowing met the thresholds such that there were no restrictions on their ability to pay dividends.

The WFCDF Credit Facility has an initial one-year term, which automatically renews for successiveone-year terms thereafter. However, either the Borrowers or WFCDF may terminate the WFCDF Credit Facility at any time by providing a written termination notice to the other party no less than 90 days prior to such termination.

The loss of the WFCDF Credit Facility could have a material adverse effect on our future results as we currently rely on this facility and its components for daily working capital and liquidity for our technology business and as an operational function of our accounts payable process.

NON-RECOURSE NOTES PAYABLE

Non-recourse notes payable consist of borrowings that, in the event of a default by the customer, the lender generally only has recourse against the customer, and the assets serving as collateral, but not against us. As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, we had $38.8 million and $36.2 million, respectively, of non-recourse borrowings that were collateralized by investments in notes and leases. Principal and interest payments are generally due periodically in amounts that are approximately equal to the total payments due from the customer under the leases or notes receivable that collateralize the notes payable. The weighted average interest rate for our non-recourse notes payable was 6.47% and 6.49%, as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Our non-recourse notes payable as of March 31, 2025, mature as follows (in thousands):

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business and have not been fully resolved. The ultimate outcome of any litigation or other legal dispute is uncertain. When a loss related to a legal proceeding or claim is probable and reasonably estimable, we accrue our best estimate for the ultimate resolution of the matter. If one or more legal matters are resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts above our expectations, our financial condition and operating results for that period may be adversely affected. As of March 31, 2025, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for these proceedings and matters, if any, has been incurred. Any outcome, whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current, or future transactions or events.

  1. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalents during each period.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted net earnings per common share as disclosed in our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except per share data):

SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN

On May 18, 2024, our Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to 1,250,000 shares of our outstanding common stock, over a 12-month period beginning May 28, 2024. On March 22, 2023, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock, over a 12-month period beginning May 28, 2023. On March 24, 2022, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock, over a 12-month period beginning May 28, 2022. These plans authorized purchases to be made from time to time in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability. Any repurchased shares will have the status of treasury shares and may be used, when needed, for general corporate purposes.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, we purchased 557,009 shares of our outstanding common stock at a value of $43.1 million under the share repurchase plan; we also purchased 52,450 shares of common stock at a value of $3.8 million to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of employees’ restricted stock.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, we purchased 131,837 shares of our outstanding common stock at a value of $6.7 million under the share repurchase plan; we also purchased 53,945 shares of common stock at a value of $3.0 million to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of employees’ restricted stock.

  1. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED PLANS

As of March 31, 2025, we had share-based awards outstanding under the following plans: (1) the 2017 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2017 Director LTIP”), (2) the 2024 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2024 Director LTIP”) and (3) the 2021 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2021 Employee LTIP”).

These share-based plans define fair market value as the closing sales price of a share of common stock as quoted on any established stock exchange for such date or the most recent trading day preceding such date if there were no trades on such date.

2021 Employee LTIP

The 2021 Employee LTIP was approved by our stockholders on September 16, 2021, and became effective October 1, 2021. Under the 2021 Employee LTIP,3,000,000 shares were authorized for grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, or other share-based awards toe Plus employees.

The purpose of the 2021 Employee LTIP is to encourage our employees to acquire a proprietary interest in the growth and performance ofe Plus, thus enhancing the value ofe Plus for the benefit of its stockholders, and to enhance our ability to attract and retain exceptionally qualified individuals. These plans are administered by the Compensation Committee.

Shares issuable under these plans may consist of authorized but unissued shares or shares held in our treasury. Under these plans, the Compensation Committee will determine the time and method of exercise or vesting of the awards. Shares under these plans will not be used to compensate our outside directors, who may be compensated under the separate 2024 Director LTIP, as discussed below.

2017 Director LTIP and 2024 Director LTIP

On September 12, 2024, our shareholders approved the 2024 Director LTIP. The 2024 Director LTIP replaces the 2017 Director LTIP. Beginning September 12, 2024, we permanently ceased issuing any additional shares under the 2017 Director LTIP. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued as restricted shares under the 2024 Director LTIP is 300,000 shares. The purpose of the 2024 Director LTIP is to align the economic interests of the directors with the interests of stockholders by including equity as a component of pay and to attract, motivate and retain experienced and knowledgeable directors. Each director receives an annual grant of restricted stock having a grant-date fair value equal to the cash compensation earned by an outside director during our fiscal year ended immediately before the respective annual grant-date. These restricted shares are prohibited from being sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of. The shares vest on theone-year anniversary from the date of the grant. In addition, each director may also elect to receive stock in lieu of their cash compensation. Stock received in lieu of cash is issued under the 2024 Director LTIP and vests immediately.

RESTRICTED STOCK ACTIVITY

During the year ended March 31, 2025, we granted 729 restricted shares under the 2017 Director LTIP,7,966 restricted shares under the 2024 LTIP, and 121,097 restricted shares under the 2021 Employee LTIP.

Cumulatively, as of March 31, 2025, we have granted a total of 115,665 restricted shares under the 2017 Director LTIP,7,966 shares under the 2024 Director LTIP, and 412,605 restricted shares under the 2021 Employee LTIP.

The following table provides a summary of the non-vested restricted shares for the year ended March 31, 2025:

Number of SharesWeighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Vested(158,512)$53.55
Forfeited(3,918)$61.08
Non-vested March 31, 2025275,773$64.80

In each of the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we used the closing stock price on the grant date or, if the grant date fell on a date the stock was not traded, the previous day’s closing stock price for the fair value of the award.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted shares granted during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $74.02, $56.50, and $56.50, respectively.

The aggregated fair value of restricted shares that vested during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $8.5 million, $7.8 million, and $7.1 million, respectively.

Upon each vesting period of the restricted stock awards to employees, participants are subject to minimum tax withholding obligations. Each of the 2021 Employee LTIP, the 2017 Director LTIP, and the 2024 Director LTIP allow us to withhold enough shares due to the participant to satisfy their minimum tax withholding obligations. For the year ended March 31, 2025, we withheld 52,450 shares of common stock at a value of $3.8 million, which was included in treasury stock. For the year ended March 31, 2024, we withheld 53,945 shares of common stock at a value of $3.0 million, which was included in treasury stock.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS

Beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we granted Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) to our executive officers under our 2021 Employee LTIP. The PSUs will vest based on the achievement of certain performance goals at the end of athree-year performance period. The PSUs represent the right to receive shares of our common stock at the time of vesting. The total number of PSUs that vest range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs based on our achievement of certain performance targets.

The following table provides a summary of the nonvested PSUs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025:

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

We provide eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of our stock through the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Under this plan, eligible employees may purchase up to an aggregate of 2.50 million shares of our stock. Employees in this plan contribute part of their earnings over a six-month offering period. At the end of each offering period, employees purchase our shares using their contributions at a discount off the lesser of the closing market price on the first or the last trading day of each offering period. During the year ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, we issued 58,064 shares at a weighted average price of $62.61 per share and 70,715 shares at a weighted average price of $42.69 per share, respectively, under the ESPP. As of March 31, 2025, there were 2.37 million shares remaining under the ESPP.

COMPENSATION EXPENSE

The following table provides a summary of our total share-based compensation expense, including for restricted stock awards, PSUs, our ESPP, and the related income tax benefit for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively (in thousands):

Year Ended March 31,
202520242023
Equity-based compensation expense$9,996$9,731$7,825
Income tax benefit$(2,749)$(2,735)$(2,097)

We recognized the income tax benefit as a reduction to our provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock was $10.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 27 months.

We also provide our employees with a contributory 401(k) profit sharing plan. We may make contributions, which are fully vested when they are made, to the plan. These contributions are not required, and the amount of our contributions are entirely within our discretion. For the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recognized expense for employer contributions to the plan of $5.7 million, $4.7 million, and $4.2 million, respectively.

  1. INCOME TAXES

We account for our tax positions in accordance with Codification Topic 740. Under the guidance, we evaluate uncertain tax positions based on the two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate each uncertain tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. For tax positions that are not likely of being sustained upon audit, the second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

As of March 31, 2025, and 2024, we donot have any unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense.

We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years ended March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% to the provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statements of operations is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

Tax deductible goodwill(2,198)(2,525)
Total deferred tax liabilities(21,327)(15,058)
Net deferred tax asset$2,204$5,620

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. Based on this evaluation as of March 31, 2025, we are recognizing a valuation allowance to offset gross deferred tax assets primarily attributable to net operating losses at certain of the foreign subsidiaries and foreign tax credit carry forwards. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will realize the remaining gross deferred tax assets through generating taxable income or the reversal of existing temporary differences attributable to the gross deferred tax liabilities.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We account for the fair values of our assets and liabilities utilizing a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

We manage and report our operating results through four operating segments: product, professional services, managed services, and financing. Our organizational structure is based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, manages operations, and evaluates performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.

We refer to the product segment, professional services segment, and managed services segment collectively as our technology business. Our product segment includes sales of IT products, third-party software, and third-party maintenance, software assurance, and other third-party services. Our professional services segment includes our advanced professional services, staff augmentation, project management services, cloud consulting services and security services. Our managed services segment includes our advanced managed services, service desk, storage-as-a-service, cloud hosted services, cloud managed services and managed security services.

Our financing business segment consists of the financing of IT equipment, software, and related services to commercial enterprises, state and local governments, and government contractors.

Our CODM measures the performance of the segments within our technology business based on gross profit and measures our financing business segment based on operating income. We do not present asset information for our reportable segments as we do not provide asset information to our CODM. Our CODM uses quarterly financial results and forecasts to manage operations. Our CODM also uses our financial results and forecasts in our annual budgeting process.
