Net sales in North America decreased 3%, or $94.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by a decrease in hardware net sales. Hardware net sales decreased by 13%, year to year. This decrease was partially offset by software and services net sales increases of 18% and 8%, respectively, year over year. The net changes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were the result of the following:

Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, net sales in APAC increased 1%, year over year. Net sales of hardware decreased 25%, year to year. This decrease was partially offset by increases in software and services net sales of 1% and 7%, respectively, year over year.

Current report

•The expansion in product margin reflects an increase in margin contribution from software and hardware net sales due to selling product at higher margins.

Current report

North America's gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 7%, or $45.7 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin expanded approximately 180 basis points to 19.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The year over year net expansion in gross margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Current report

EMEA's gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 16%, or $21.2 million, year over year (increasing 14% when excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Current report

As a percentage of net sales, gross margin expanded approximately 360 basis points, year over year. The year over year net expansion in gross margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Current report

•The contraction in product margin was driven by lower contribution of margin from hardware due to lower volume of sales of hardware in the current year period.

Current report

APAC's gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 9%, or $2.9 million, year over year (increasing 11% when excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Current report

Current report

•The expansion in services margin was driven by higher margins from Insight Core services and a higher percentage of cloud solutions recognized on a net basis.

Current report

•The expansion in product margin was driven by higher volume of sales of software at higher margins than in the prior year period.

Current report

Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately 120 basis points as a percentage of net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The overall net decrease in selling and administrative expenses primarily reflects a net decrease in other expenses due to gains of $25.1 million recognized on the revaluation of the SADA and Amdaris acquisition earnout liabilities and the resulting decreases in the fair values of the potential earnout payments. We also realized net recoveries of $3.4 million associated with costs previously incurred related to a third-party data center service outage. These net decreases were offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expenses, personnel costs, including teammate benefits, and legal and professional expenses of $9.7 million, $3.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, year over year. The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses reflects higher amortization of intangible assets associated with the SADA, Infocenter and Amdaris acquisitions. The increase in personnel costs reflects an increase in overall teammate headcount from our acquisitions and the impact of merit increases. The increase in legal and professional expenses reflects an increase in consulting fees incurred in the current year period. We also incurred transformation costs in the current and prior year periods of $5.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively, however, these costs are unique in nature and are not expected to recur in the longer term.

Current report

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded severance and restructuring expenses, net of adjustments, of approximately $7.1 million. Comparatively, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a gain on sale of property due to restructuring of $7.6 million. This gain was offset by severance and restructuring expense, net of adjustments, of approximately $7.6 million. The charges in both periods primarily related to a realignment of certain roles and responsibilities.

Current report

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded acquisition and integration related expenses of approximately $1.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded acquisition and integration related expenses of approximately $0.2 million. The expenses in the current year period related primarily to the acquisitions of SADA in December 2023 and Infocenter in May 2024.

Current report

North America's earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $27.2 million, or 17%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Current report

June 30, 2024 increased 35%, or $7.0 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to higher interest rates and loan balance under our ABL facility and the issuance of the Senior Notes, partially offset by higher interest income and decreased imputed interest under our inventory financing facilities.

Current report

Our effective tax rate of 24.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was lower than our effective tax rate of 25.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to tax benefits related to the revaluation of certain acquisition earnout liabilities and higher excess tax benefits on the settlement of employee share-based compensation in the current year period. We expect our effective tax rate to return to more typical levels in the foreseeable future.

Previous wording

We generally experience some seasonal trends in our sales of IT hardware, software and services. Software and certain cloud net sales are typically seasonally higher in our second and fourth quarters. Business clients, particularly larger enterprise businesses in the United States, tend to spend more in our fourth quarter and less in our first quarter. Sales to the federal government in the United States are often stronger in our third quarter, while sales in the state and local government and education markets are also stronger in our second quarter. Sales to public sector clients in the United Kingdom are often stronger in our first quarter. These trends create overall seasonality in our consolidated results such that net sales and profitability are expected to be higher in the second and fourth quarters of the year. Historically we have experienced higher net sales in our second quarter, however, with the addition of SADA, we now believe our second and fourth quarters may be equally strong.

Previous wording

Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately 90 basis points as a percentage of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The overall net increase in selling and administrative expenses primarily reflects increases in personnel costs, including teammate benefits and depreciation and amortization expenses of $14.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively, year over year. The increase in personnel costs reflects an increase in overall teammate headcount from our SADA and Amdaris acquisitions and the impact of merit increases. The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses reflects higher amortization of intangible assets associated with the SADA and Amdaris acquisitions. We incurred transformation costs in the current and prior year periods of $2.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, however, these costs are unique in nature and are not expected to recur in the longer term.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses reflects higher amortization of intangible assets associated with the SADA, Infocenter and Amdaris acquisitions. The increase in legal and professional expenses reflects an increase in consulting fees incurred in the current year period. We also incurred transformation costs in the current and prior year periods of $7.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively, however, these costs are unique in nature and are not expected to recur in the longer term. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease in other expenses due to net gains of $24.2 million recognized on the revaluation of the SADA and Amdaris acquisition earnout liabilities and the resulting decreases in the fair values of the potential earnout payments.
