See notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 6 SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Basis of Presentation The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's June 30, 2000 annual report on Form 10-K. Other than as indicated herein, there have been no significant changes from the financial data published in that report. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments as disclosed herein, necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited information. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year, or for any subsequent period. (2) Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation Policy - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ScanSource, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Minority Interest - Beginning in April 2000, the Company invested approximately $1 million for a majority interest in a newly formed subsidiary to perform e-logistics. The minority shareholders share of income since the acquisition has been insignificant. Accordingly, no amounts have been recognized for minority interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized for the sale of products upon shipment. Sales of products are primarily recorded on a gross basis with a separate display of cost of goods sold to arrive at gross profit. In addition, the Company currently has arrangements in which it earns a service fee determined as a percentage of the value of products shipped on behalf of the manufacturer who retains the risk of ownership and credit loss. Such service fees earned by the Company are included in net sales. 7 SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Inventories - Inventories (consisting of automatic data capture, point-of- sale, business phone and computer telephony equipment) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Net Income Per Share - Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common and potential common shares include common shares and stock options using the treasury stock method. The reconciliation of basic and diluted income per share is as follows:
Per Share Income Shares Amount ------ ------ --------- (in thousands) Three months ended December 31, 2000: Basic income per share $3,933 5,693 $ 0.69 ======== Effect of dilutive stock options 461 ------ ----- Diluted income per share $3,933 6,154 $ 0.64 ====== ===== ======== Three months ended December 31, 1999: Basic income per share $2,872 5,531 $ 0.52 ======== Effect of dilutive stock options 463 ------ ----- Diluted income per share $2,872 5,994 $ 0.48 ====== ===== ======== Six months ended December 31, 2000: Basic income per share $7,756 5,671 $ 1.37 ======= Effect of dilutive stock options ------ 475 Diluted income per share $7,756 6,146 $ 1.26 ====== ===== ======= Six months ended December 31, 1999: ------ Basic income per share $5,606 5,521 $ 1.02 ====== ======= Effect of dilutive stock options 401 ------ ----- Diluted income per share $5,606 5,922 $ 0.95 ====== ===== =======
8 SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (3) Revolving Credit Facility In November 2000, the Company amended and restated the revolving credit facility with its bank, extending the facility to September 2002, with a borrowing limit of the lesser of (i) $50 million or (ii) the total of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. The facility bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate of interest plus a rate varying from 1.25% to 2.50% tied to the Company's debt-to-net worth ratio ranging from 0.75:1 to 2.75:1. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants including minimum net worth requirements, capital expenditure limits and a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2000 was 8.62% and the outstanding balance was $29.2 million on a borrowing base that exceeded $50 million, leaving $20.8 million available for additional borrowings at December 31, 2000. The Company was in compliance with the various covenants at December 31, 2000. (4) Long-term Debt The Company has a non-recourse loan in the amount of $1,719,000 related to the purchase of its Greenville office building. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 9.19%, is due in November 2006, and is collateralized by the land and building acquired. In August 2000, the Company closed a separate real estate loan in the amount of $7,350,000, at the 30 day LIBOR rate of interest plus a rate varying from 1.40% to 2.65% tied to the Company's debt to net worth ratio ranging from 0.75:1 to 2.75:1. The loan is due September 2005 and is collateralized by the Company's Memphis distribution center land and building. The loan agreement contains certain financial covenants including minimum net worth requirements, capital expenditure limits and a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2000 was 8.78%. The Company was in compliance with the various covenants at December 31, 2000. (5) Segment Information The Company sells only in the United States and Canada. Its sales to Canada were $5,198,000 and $3,595,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Its sales to Canada were $9,867,000 and $8,325,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The Company operates in two reportable segments: value-added distribution and its e-logistics unit that operates under the name ChannelMax. The first reportable segment, value-added distribution, offers approximately 18,000 products for sale in two primary categories: i) automatic data capture and point-of-sale equipment sold by the ScanSource sales team and ii) business telephones and computer/phone convergence products sold by the Catalyst Telecom sales team. These products are sold to more than 11,000 resellers and 9 SCANSOURSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS integrators of technology products, that are geographically disbursed over North America in a pattern that mirrors population concentration. Of its customers, no single account represented more than 3% and 4% of total Company sales in the second quarter of 1999 and 2000, respectively. The second reportable segment is the e-logistics unit, which provides real- time inventory availability and web catalog, order entry, order tracking and logistics for customers in the bar code and business telephone markets. This unit serves fewer than 15 customers, the largest of whom accounted for 7% and 4% of total Company sales in the second quarter of 1999 and 2000, respectively. Sales by this unit include some programs that are accounted for on a gross revenue recognition basis and others that are accounted for on a net revenue recognition basis (see note 2). Operating results for each business unit are summarized below with historical data for 1999 restated to conform to the current organization structure:

10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis Results of Operations Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 increased 28.3% to $146.2 million from $113.9 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Net sales increased 33.2% to $302.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 from $227.1 million for the comparable prior year period. The Company is organized in two business units. Sales through value-added distribution increased 23.2% to $127.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $103.6 million for the comparable prior year quarter. E-logistics sales increased 80.1% to $18.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $10.3 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Canada sales were less than 5% and 3% of total Company sales in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Growth of net sales resulted primarily from additions to the Company's sales force, competitive product pricing, selective expansion of its product line, and increased marketing efforts to specialty technology resellers. Gross Profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 increased 30.7% to $17.3 million from $13.2 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Gross profit increased 41.1% to $34.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 from $24.2 million for the comparable prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 11.8% and 11.3%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2000, compared to 11.6% and 10.7%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Gross margins from value- added distribution were 12.2% and 11.6% for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales is the result of a change in the mix of sales to smaller orders and higher margin products. Gross margins for e-logistics were 9.0% and 11.6% for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in margins for 2000 was caused by a change in the mix of customers and changes in some programs provided to customers in 2000. Operating Expenses. Operating expenses, which include selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization, for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 increased 24.1% to $10.5 million compared to $8.4 million for the comparable prior year period. Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2000 increased 37.0% to $20.8 million from $15.2 million for the comparable prior year period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 7.2% and 6.9% , respectively, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2000, compared to 7.4% and 6.7%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Generally, higher gross margin sales require the Company to provide greater levels of customer consultation and service causing a corresponding increase in operating expenses. For the 2000 quarter the general and administrative portion of operating expenses also decreased as a percentage of sales due to reductions from greater economies of scale. 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis Operating Income. Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 increased 42.3% to $6.8 million from $4.8 million for the same period in 1999, driven by the improvement in gross profit as described above. Operating income increased 48.0% to $13.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 from $9.1 million for the comparable prior period. Operating income as a percentage of sales was 4.6% and 4.4%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2000, compared to 4.2% and 4.0%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Other Income (Expense). Total other income (expense), net, consists of interest income (expense), net, and other income, net. Net interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 was $483,000 resulting primarily from interest expense on the revolving credit facility and long term debt of $756,000 offset by interest income of $273,000 for interest charged to customers. Net interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was $144,000 resulting primarily from interest expense on the revolving credit facility and building loan of $180,000 offset by interest income of $36,000 earned from invested cash. Income Taxes. Income tax expense was provided at an effective rate of 38% for both the quarterly and six month periods, and represents the state and federal tax expected to be due after annualizing income to the fiscal year end. Net Income. Improved operating income caused net income to increase 36.9% to $3.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $2.9 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2000 increased 38.4% to $7.8 million from $5.6 million for the comparable year period. Net income as a percentage of sales was 2.7% and 2.6%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2000 compared to 2.5% for both of the comparable prior year periods. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and proceeds from the sales of securities. In August 2000, the Company closed a real estate loan in the amount of $7,350,000, at the 30 day LIBOR rate of interest plus a rate varying from 1.40% to 2.65% tied to the Company's debt to net worth ratio ranging from 0.75:1 to 2.75:1. The loan is due September 2005 and is collateralized by the Company's Memphis distribution center land and building. The loan agreement contains certain financial covenants including minimum net worth requirements, capital expenditure limits and a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio. The Company was in compliance with the various covenants at December 31, 2000. 12 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis In November 2000, the Company amended and restated the revolving credit facility with its bank, extending the facility to September 2002 with a borrowing limit of the lesser of (i) $50.0 million or (ii) the total of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. The facility bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate of interest plus a rate varying from 1.25% to 2.50% tied to the Company's debt-to-net worth ratio ranging from 0.75:1 to 2.75:1. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants including minimum net worth requirements, capital expenditure limits and a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2000 was 8.62% and the outstanding balance was $29.2 million on a borrowing base that exceeded $50 million, leaving $20.8 million available for additional borrowings at December 31, 2000. The Company was in compliance with the various covenants at December 31, 2000. For the six months ended December 31, 2000 net cash of $13.3 million was used in operating activities compared to $28.7 million used in operations for the six months ended December 31, 1999. Cash in both periods was primarily used to fund increases in inventory to meet increasing sales demands, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable and increases in accounts payable. Cash used in investing activities of $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 was for capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities of $8.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 included $1.7 million for capital expenditures and $7.0 million for the purchase of the Memphis distribution center. Cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 was $12.8 million, which included net borrowings on the revolving line of credit of $7.3 million, borrowings from the August 2000 real estate loan of $4.3 million, and proceeds from stock option exercises of $1.2 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was $22.8 million, which included net borrowings on the revolving credit facility of $22.2 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $610,000. The Company believes that cash flows from operations and its bank revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet its forecasted cash requirements for at least the next year. 13 Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures The Company is exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of its business as a result of its selective use of bank debt as well as transacting business in Canadian currency in connection with its Canadian operations. The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities, which includes a revolving credit facility with a bank used to maintain liquidity and fund the Company's business operations, and a portion of its long term debt. The nature and amount of the Company's debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. The definitive extent of the Company's interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements, but the Company does not believe such risk is material. The Company does not currently use derivative instruments to adjust its interest rate risk profile. A change of one percent in the interest rate under the revolving credit facility and long term debt would have caused a change in interest expense of approximately $24,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and approximately $88,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000. The Company is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates in connection with its Canadian operations. It is the Company's policy to enter into foreign currency transactions only to the extent considered necessary to support its Canadian operations. The amount of the Company's cash deposits denominated in Canadian currency has not been, and is not expected to be, material. Furthermore, the Company has no capital expenditure or other purchase commitments denominated in foreign currency. The Company does not utilize forward exchange contracts, currency options or other traditional hedging vehicles to adjust the Company's foreign exchange rate risk profile. The Company does not enter into foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes. A change of 10% in the foreign exchange rates for Canadian dollars would have cost the Company less than $20,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does it utilize leveraged financial instruments. On the basis of the fair value of the Company's market sensitive instruments at December 31, 2000, the Company does not consider the potential near-term losses in future earnings, fair values and cash flows from reasonable possible near- term changes in interest rates and exchange rates to be material. 14 PART II.

EX-99.1 2 0002.txt CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Exhibit 99.1 CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS (Pursuant to Safe Harbor under the Private Securities ---------------------------------------------------- Litigation Reform Act of 1995) ----------------------------- The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (as used in this Exhibit 99.1, the "Act") provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their companies, so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the statement. The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act. Certain information, particularly information regarding future economic performance, finances and management's plans and objectives, contained or incorporated by reference in this quarterly report on Form 10Q is forward- looking. In some cases, information regarding certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any such forward-looking statement appear together with such statement. The following factors, in addition to those set forth in the Form 10Q and other possible factors not listed, could also affect the Company's actual results and cause such results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements: Dependence on Vendors and Product Supply The Company's future success is highly dependent on its relationships with vendors. Sales of products from the Company's 10 largest vendors accounted for 81% of net sales for fiscal 2000. From time to time, the Company experiences shortages in availability of some products from vendors. The Company's business is largely dependent upon the terms provided by its vendors. The Company's vendor agreements generally contain provisions for periodic renewals and for termination by the vendor without cause and typically upon short notice. Some of the Company's vendor agreements require minimum purchase amounts or the maintenance of a representative assortment of the vendor's full line of products. Such contract provisions could increase the Company's working capital requirements. Although the Company believes its vendor relationships are good, there can be no assurance that the Company's vendor relationships will continue as currently in effect. The loss or deterioration of the Company's relationship with a major vendor, the authorization by vendors of additional wholesale distributors, or the failure by the Company to establish good relationships with major new vendors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. As is typical in its industry, the Company receives volume discounts and certain credits for market development from most of its vendors. Any change in the availability of these discounts or credits or the failure of the Company to obtain vendor financing on satisfactory terms and conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Competition The markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on factors such as price, product availability, speed and accuracy of delivery, effectiveness of sales and marketing programs, credit availability, ability to tailor specific solutions to customer needs, quality and breadth of product lines and services, and availability of technical and product information. Certain of the Company's current and potential competitors 1 have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than the Company and may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Additional competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins, and loss of market share by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that future competitive pressures will not materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations. Quarterly Fluctuations in Net Sales and Operating Results Net sales and operating results may fluctuate quarterly as a result of demand for the Company's products and services, the introduction of new hardware and software technologies, the introduction of new services by the Company and its competitors, changes in manufacturers' prices or price protection policies, changes in freight rates, disruption of warehousing or shipping channels, changes in the level of operating expenses, the timing of major marketing or other service projects, product supply shortages, inventory adjustments, changes in product mix, entry into new product markets, difficulty in maintaining margins, and general competitive and economic conditions. In addition, a substantial portion of the Company's net sales in each quarter results from orders booked in such quarter. Accordingly, the Company believes that period-to- period comparisons of its operating results should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Risks Associated with Inventory Management The Company's business, like that of other wholesale distributors, is subject to the risk that the value of its inventory will be adversely affected by price reductions by manufacturers or by technological changes affecting the usefulness or desirability of its products inventory. Under the terms of most of the Company's agreements and the policy of most manufacturers of specialty technology products, the Company has some price protection and stock rotation opportunities with respect to slow moving or obsolete inventory items. There can be no assurance, however, that, in every instance, the Company will be able to comply with all necessary conditions or manage successfully such price protection or stock rotation opportunities, if available. Also, these industry practices are sometimes not included in written agreements and do not protect the Company in all cases from declines in inventory value, excess inventory, or product obsolescence. There can be no assurance that manufacturers will continue such practices or that the Company will be able to manage successfully its existing and future inventories. Significant declines in inventory value in excess of established inventory reserves or dramatic changes in prevailing technology could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Managing Growth; Risk of Entering New Markets The growth of the Company's business has required it to make additions in personnel and has increased its working capital requirements. Such growth has resulted in new and increased responsibilities for management and has placed a strain upon the Company's management, operating, financial, and technical resources. The Company may also in the future require additional equity or debt financing to support its increased working capital needs in connection with any expansion of its business. Such financing may not be available on terms that are favorable to the Company, if at all. Also crucial to the Company's success will be its ability to achieve additional economies of scale in order to sustain its operating margins. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain competent personnel and improve its 2 operational status, obtain adequate working capital or achieve the needed economies of scale. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company's growth strategy continues to anticipate the entry into new product markets. Expansion of the Company's existing product markets or entry into new product markets could divert the use of the Company's resources and systems, require additional resources that might not be available, result in new or more intense competition, require longer implementation times or greater start-up expenditures than anticipated, or otherwise fail to achieve the desired results in a timely fashion, if at all. The Company's ability to manage successfully its growth will require continued enhancement of its operational, management, and financial resources and controls. The Company's failure to manage effectively its growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Dependence on Centralized Functions The Company currently distributes products from a single warehouse located in Memphis, Tennessee and manages its operations through a single information system based in Greenville, South Carolina. Repair, replacement, or relocation of such centralized functions could be costly or untimely. Although the Company has business interruption insurance, an uninsurable loss from electrical or telephone failure, fire or other casualty, or other disruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company's use of a single warehouse also makes the Company more vulnerable to dramatic changes in freight rates than a competitor with multiple, geographically dispersed warehouse sites. Losses in excess of insurance coverage, an uninsurable loss, or changes in freight rates could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Dependence on Senior Management The success of the Company is largely dependent on the skills, experience and efforts of its senior management, particularly Steven H. Owings, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael L. Baur, President, and Jeffery A. Bryson, Chief Financial Officer. The Company has obtained a "key person" insurance policy on the life of Mr. Baur in the amount of $1.0 million. The loss of services of any of these named individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Dependence on Third-Party Shippers The Company presently ships the majority of its products from Memphis, Tennessee by FedEx or United Parcel Service. Changes in shipping terms, or the inability of these third-party shippers to perform effectively (whether as a result of mechanical failure, casualty loss, labor stoppage, other disruption, or any other reason), could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company can maintain favorable shipping terms or replace such shipping services on a timely or cost-effective basis. 3 Risks Associated with Extensions of Credit As a marketing enhancement, the Company offers unsecured and secured credit terms for qualified resellers. Historically, the Company has not experienced losses from write-offs materially in excess of established reserves. While the Company evaluates resellers' qualifications for credit and monitors its extensions of credit, defaults by resellers in timely repayment of these extensions of credit could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Possible Volatility of Stock Price The market price of the Company's common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating results, general market movements, and other events or factors. In addition, in recent years the stock markets in general, and technology-related stocks in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions, may adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. 4
