HERNDON, Va., May 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ePlus inc. (NASDAQ: PLUS), a leading provider of technology and financing solutions, today announced financial results for the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
Management Comment
"Our strong fourth quarter results concluded a solid fiscal year that highlighted the success of our growth strategy and our ability to meet our customers' needs with innovative solutions despite persistent supply chain constraints," said Mark Marron, president and chief executive officer of ePlus. "Fourth quarter net sales improved 9% and fiscal 2023 net sales advanced 13.5%, reflecting our strategic focus on serving higher-value and higher-growth end markets, such as cloud, security and collaboration. Over the past year, we invested significantly in our people to expand our service offerings and build on our market position. Even with these investments, we managed overall expenses efficiently and generated diluted earnings per share growth of 35% in the fourth quarter and 14% for fiscal 2023. I am pleased with our financial performance and proud of our team's consistent execution to achieve these results."
Mr. Marron continued, "Earlier this month, we announced the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of the Network Solutions Group (NSG) business unit of CCI Systems, Inc., a leading solutions provider to broadband Service Providers. This acquisition both complements our existing solutions offerings in the telecom market and expands our customer base nationwide. We believe this strategic acquisition will drive enhanced value and performance over time."
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Results
For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year ended March 31, 2022:
Consolidated net sales increased 9.0% to $492.2 million, from $451.5 million.
Technology segment net sales increased 15.2% to $483.2 million, from $419.4 million primarily due to an increase in sales to customers in the technology and SLED end markets. Service revenues increased 11.5% to $68.7 million, from $61.6 million due to increases in professional services and managed services. Gross billings increased 17.6% to $733.1 million from $623.6 million. Gross billings is an operational metric defined as the total dollar value of customer purchases of goods and services including shipping charges during the period, net of customer returns and credit memos, sales, or other taxes.
Financing segment net sales decreased 72.1% to $9.0 million, from $32.1 million and cost of goods sold was lower by $18.6 million, both due to a decline in sales of leased equipment. Gross profit in the financing segment was lower by $4.6 million due to lower sales of leased equipment and lower transactional gains.
Consolidated gross profit increased 14.7% to $132.3 million, from $115.4 million. Consolidated gross margin was 26.9%, up from 25.5% last year due to higher margins from sales of product and services in our technology segment.
Operating expenses were $89.9 million, up 11.2% from $80.9 million last year, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits, variable compensation stemming from higher gross profit, professional fees, software license and maintenance, and travel expenses, partially offset by changes in allowance for credit losses. Our headcount at the end of the quarter was 1,754, up 177 from a year ago, partially due to the Future Com acquisition on July 15, 2022. Of the 177 additional employees, 140 were customer facing employees, including 84 professional services and technical support personnel due to demand for our services.
Consolidated operating income increased 23.0% to $42.4 million.
Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 22.4%, lower than the prior year quarter of 29.6%, due to lower than forecasted non-deductible expenses, increased benefits from foreign sales along with favorable state return to provision adjustments.
Net earnings increased 35.5% to $32.9 million.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 22.4% to $48.7 million.
Diluted earnings per share was $1.23, compared with $0.91 in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.36, compared with $1.01 last year.
Fiscal Year 2023 Results
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the prior fiscal year ended March 31, 2022:
Consolidated net sales increased 13.5% to $2,067.7 million, from $1,821.0 million.
Technology segment net sales increased 16.3% to $2,015.2 million, from $1,733.0 million primarily due to an increase in sales to customers in the technology and SLED end markets. Service revenues increased 9.9% to $264.4 million, from $240.6 million due to increases in professional services and managed services. Gross billings was $3,145.9 million, an increase of 19.8% from $2,625.7 million.
Financing segment net sales decreased 40.4% to $52.5 million, from $88.0 million, and cost of sales was $9.4 million, 73.1% lower than the prior year, both primarily due to fewer early lease buyouts and a decline in sales of leased equipment. Gross profit in the financing segment decreased $9.8 million due to lower sales of leased equipment, transactional gains and portfolio earnings.
Consolidated gross profit increased 12.3% to $517.5 million, from $461.0 million. Consolidated gross margin was 25.0%, overall consistent with the consolidated gross margin of 25.3% last year, as higher product margins were offset by lower service margins.
Operating expenses were $351.4 million, up 12.0% from $313.7 million last year, primarily due to increases in variable compensation stemming from higher gross profit, salaries and benefits, professional fees, advertising and marketing, software license and maintenance, travel expenses, and changes in allowance for credit losses.
Consolidated operating income increased 12.8% to $166.2 million. During fiscal year 2023, we incurred foreign currency transaction losses of $5.4 million, which was partially offset by $1.9 million related to our receipt of funds resulting from our claim in a class action lawsuit.
Our effective tax rate for the current year period was 26.8%, lower than last year's 28.1%, due to lower than forecasted non-deductible expenses, increased benefits from foreign sales along with favorable state return to provision adjustments.
Net earnings increased 13.0% to $119.4 million.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.1% to $190.6 million.
Diluted earnings per share was $4.48, compared with $3.93 in the prior year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $5.02, compared with $4.39 last year.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION
We included reconciliations below for the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Segment Adjusted EBITDA, (iii) non-GAAP Net Earnings and (iv) non-GAAP Net Earnings per Common Share - Diluted.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for the following: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, acquisition and integration expense, provision for income taxes, and other income (expense). Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for interest expense, share based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, and depreciation and amortization. We consider the interest on notes payable from our financing segment and depreciation expense presented within cost of sales, which includes depreciation on assets financed as operating leases, to be operating expenses.
Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP net earnings per common share – diluted are based on net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude other income (expense), share based compensation, and acquisition related amortization expense, and the related tax effects.
We use the above non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our performance to gain insight into our operating performance and performance trends. We believe that such non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business and operating results by excluding items that management believes are not reflective of our underlying operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.
Our use of non-GAAP information as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP net earnings per common share or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.
