Letter from our Chair and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholders:

Thank you for your investment in ScanSource, Inc. On behalf of ScanSource’s Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the upcoming 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and encourage you to review the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement and vote using the attached proxy card.

I want to take this opportunity to share the Board’s priorities for creating long-term shareholder value and to highlight some important developments at ScanSource this year:

Our Performance in Fiscal 2025: As we look back on our full year results, we delivered strong free cash flow and gross profit growth with expanded margins. Full year net sales totaled just over $3 billion, a year-over-year decline of 6.7%, from softer demand in a more cautious technology spending environment. However, gross profits of $408.6 million and adjusted EBITDA* of $144.7 million grew by 2.4% and 2.8%, respectively. Gross profit margins increased 120 basis points year-over-year to 13.4%, and adjusted EBITDA margins increased 45 basis points to 4.76%. For the full year, recurring revenues represented 32.8% of our consolidated gross profits compared to 27.5% last year. The higher contributions and concentration of netted-down revenues is the primary driver of our improved margins. Non-GAAP net income of $85.1 million is an increase of 9.6% over last year, and full year free cash flow of $104 million represents a 122% conversion of ournon-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP EPS of $3.57 increased by 15.9% year-over-year, including the benefit of share repurchases which totaled $106.5 million.

Our balance sheet is strong, ending fiscal 2025 with $126 million in cash and $112.3 million of operating cash flow and $104.1 million of free cash flow (non-GAAP). Adjusted ROIC* for the year increased to 13.6%.

The Resourcive and Advantix acquisitions we completed in August of 2024 were accretive to bothnon-GAAP EPS and adjusted ROIC for the year. We’re pleased with their contributions and what they bring to our channel capabilities as we execute our strategic plans. We have an active pipeline of acquisition targets for both business segments which could expand our capabilities and help us drive additional value across our partner ecosystem while supporting our strategic goals. As we think about delivering on our strategic plans, our capital allocation priorities are to maintain discipline in evaluating M&A opportunities and to continue share repurchases while maintaining a targeted net debt leverage of 1 to 2 times adjusted EBITDA.

Fiscal 2026 Outlook: For fiscal 2026, we are excited about the growth opportunities ahead for our channel partners and the expanding role for ScanSource as a differentiated leader in a converging technology ecosystem. The convergence of IT, connectivity, and cloud computing is propelling a shift toward converged solutions that are redefining success in technology distribution. We are well positioned to build cutting edge skills, capabilities, and expertise to excel in a device-connected, cloud-driven world. We believe IT decision makers face increasing complexity given the need for integration and the number of solutions, especially as advanced technologies like AI become part of the solution.

We see connecting our channel partners with innovative, converged solutions as the future of technology distribution. Our multiple sales channels are a key competitive advantage for ScanSource with our suppliers as they seek new routes to market. This is the vision for our strategic plan and our new three-year strategic goals. Our goals reflect our confidence in our profitable growth strategy to deliver complex, converging solutions for our partner community that will increase our addressable market. We’ve: (i) updated our targets for adjusted EBITDA margin, the percentage of gross profits from recurring revenue, and ROIC, (ii) included gross profit growth as a better metric to represent business growth, and (iii) introduced a new free cash flow metric:

These goals reflect our confidence in our strategy and the drivers we have to create long-term value for our shareholders.

Board Composition: Overseeing our business is a Board that is actively engaged in ensuring that management develops and executes our differentiated technology distribution strategy. Our Board consists of a group of highly skilled directors with diverse backgrounds who bring knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to the Company and are committed to driving long term value for our shareholders.

People and Culture: The Company and the Board believe that our purpose remains clear: to serve as a trusted partner, delivering exceptional value in every market environment. This commitment is brought to life each day through the dedication and expertise of our people, which is our competitive advantage. By staying true to our core values and aligning our strategies with evolving customer needs, we help our channel sales partners thrive in dynamic technology markets. Our people and culture are at the heart of ScanSource’s success. In fiscal 2025, we made progress advancing several people and culture initiatives:

These initiatives foster a more connected and collaborative workforce ready for future innovative opportunities.

Corporate Citizenship: Giving back to our communities is a core value at ScanSource. Over the past year, we deepened our community engagement by volunteering as a local elementary school PTA, launching a share grant program with our channel sales partners, and taking action to help others impacted by Hurricane Helene. These efforts, rooted in our people-first approach, underscore our dedication to making a meaningful impact in the communities where we live and work. Looking ahead, we remain focused on the corporate citizenship priorities that matter most to our business and stakeholders. Our commitment to people and culture drives lasting business relationships and channel success. Leading with our people and guided by our core values, we are committed to sustainable growth and a resilient future for ScanSource.

Shareholder Engagement Efforts: Engaging with our shareholders and considering their views as we make decisions is an important part of the Board’s commitment to strong corporate governance. Our engagement efforts focus on building relationships, expanding dialogue to cover strategy and governance topics and collecting shareholder feedback. This dialogue helps us to better understand shareholders’ views on a variety of relevant issues, including Company strategy and performance, board composition and refreshment, executive compensation and governance practices. The Board continues to encourage you to share your opinions with us.

We look forward to the year ahead, and, on behalf of the Board, we thank you for your continued support.

Best regards,

Chair and Chief Executive Officer
