In its latest earnings report for the second quarter ending December 31, 2024, ScanSource, Inc. highlighted a significant focus on expanding recurring revenue opportunities, driven largely by recent acquisitions. Despite a challenging demand environment, the company managed to achieve an increase in gross profit and gross profit margin, although overall net sales saw a decline compared to the previous year.

Gross profit increased slightly by 1.0% to $101.7 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of 13.6%, up from 11.4% in the previous year. This improvement in margin is attributed to a higher contribution from recurring revenue, which grew by 31.2% year-over-year.

ScanSource’s specialty technology solutions segment experienced a 16.0% drop in net sales, while the Intelisys & Advisory segment saw a 4.0% increase, reflecting recent acquisitions.
