GREENVILLE, SC -- October 25, 2012 -- ScanSource, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCSC), the leading international value-added distributor of specialty technology products, today announced complete financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Quarter ended September 30, 2012:
Net sales	$733.6 million
Net income	$17.6 million
Diluted EPS	$0.63 per share

“Challenging market conditions contributed to a sales decline versus last year,” said Mike Baur, CEO, ScanSource, Inc. “However, we were pleased with the record quarterly sales performance of our North America Security business unit. In addition, our North America Communications as well as our Miami and Mexico-based operations achieved solid year-over-year sales growth.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, net sales decreased 4.8% to $733.6 million, compared with $770.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Excluding the translation impact of foreign currencies, net sales decreased 1.6% year-over-year. Operating income decreased 17.1% to $26.2 million from $31.6 million in the comparable prior year quarter. The effective tax rate decreased to 34.0% in the current quarter from 34.5% in the prior year quarter. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $17.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared with net income of $18.4 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains comments that are “forward-looking” statements that involve risks and uncertainties; these statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated or forecasted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting our expanded operations in emerging markets, such as Brazil, that expose us to greater political and economic volatility than our operations in established markets; additional costs and delays in connection with the implementation of our new ERP system; our ability to forecast volatility in earnings resulting from the quarterly revaluation of our earnout obligation to the sellers of CDC; macroeconomic circumstances that could impact our business, such as currency fluctuations; continued adverse capital and credit market conditions; and an economic downturn. For more information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ from anticipated results, see the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses non-GAAP measures.  Management uses return on invested capital (“ROIC”), a non-GAAP measure, as a performance measurement because management believes that this metric best balances the Company's operating results with its asset and liability management. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors uses ROIC in evaluating management performance and setting management compensation.  The Company also discloses the percentage change in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates to better assess the changes from period periods.

Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in a following table.
