On June 30, 2025, we completed the sale of 100% of the membership interests of Expo Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“HoldCo”), to Marlin Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (d/b/a PEAC Solutions) pursuant to the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated June 20, 2025 (the “Sale Transaction”). By selling HoldCo, together with its U.S. subsidiaries, we sold our domestic financing business that comprised most of our financing business segment, which is a business that finances information technology equipment, software and related services for customers. We continue to own the international entities in the financing business. This divestiture positions us to focus on being a technology solutions provider and represents a strategic shift in our operations. As a result of the Sale Transaction, we determined that the domestic financing business that was sold met the definition of discontinued operations. Consequently, for all periods presented in these financial statements, we are retrospectively presenting the results of our domestic financing business as discontinued operations. In our unaudited consolidated balance sheets for all periods, we present the assets and liabilities of our domestic financing business as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. In our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for all periods, we present the operating results of our domestic financing business in earnings from discontinued operations. After the sale, our remaining three reportable segments are product, professional services, and managed services, which we formerly referred to collectively as our technology business. Refer to Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

There is a worldwide shortage of memory chips due to the demand for AI-ready products, which is also causing rapid price increases across many IT products. Like others, we may experience ongoing supply constraints for memory chips that may affect lead times for delivery of products, our having to carry more inventory for longer periods, our and the customer’s costs of products, vendor return and cancellation policies, and our ability to meet customer demands. We continue to work closely with our suppliers and manufacturers to mitigate disruptions outside our control. Despite these actions, we believe extended lead times and price increases will likely persist for at least the next few quarters.

Product segment sales for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased compared to the same three-month period in the prior year, due to increases in revenue from networking, cloud, security, and collaboration products. Product segment sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased compared to the same nine-month period in the prior year, due to increases in revenue from networking, cloud, and security products, offset by a decline in collaboration products. These increases were driven by the timing of purchases by existing customers, which are determined by their buying cycles and the timing of specific IT-related initiatives. Contributing to the increase, the proportion of our sales that were sales of third-party maintenance and subscriptions that are recognized on a net basis decreased for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year.
