Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented a generally positive operational and financial beat: consolidated sales, gross profit, operating income, net income and EPS all improved year-over-year, Enterprise and Business Solutions delivered strong growth, backlog is at a multi-year high, liquidity is robust, and the company received notable partner recognitions. Offsetting risks include a significant decline in Public Sector sales tied to a nonrecurring prior-year contract, ongoing supply-chain and memory-driven price volatility, a sizeable inventory build and working-capital absorption, a $3.1M severance charge, and management's caution about potential softening in the back half of 2026. Overall, the positive execution, margin expansion, cash position and capital returns outweigh the near-term operational headwinds and uncertainties.
Company Guidance
Management's forward-looking guidance emphasized that Connection expects to outperform the U.S. IT market by 200 basis points in 2026, with a backlog at its highest level since mid‑2022 that management expects to convert largely through Q2–Q3 (Q1 enterprise pull‑ins contributed a low‑to‑mid single‑digit revenue boost), Public Sector trends should improve through the balance of 2026, and the PC refresh cycle will continue through 2026; they cautioned memory‑driven price inflation (prices up while unit counts down) may persist into 2026 or beyond and could cause modest softening in the back half of the year. Management also reiterated capital return and liquidity positions—a $0.20 quarterly dividend payable May 29, ~42,000 shares repurchased in Q1 at an average $57.70 (~$2.4M) with $81.2M remaining authorization, and $411.4M in cash/short‑term investments—while noting planned inventory build (+$50.7M) to secure supply.
Consolidated Revenue and Profit Growth
Gross billings grew 4.3% to $1.0 billion (from $978.9M). Total net sales were $721.9 million, up 3.0% year-over-year. Gross profit increased 4.3% to $132.7 million and consolidated gross margin expanded 20 basis points to 18.4%.
Strong Enterprise Solutions Performance
Enterprise Solutions net sales rose 16.3% to $346.5 million; gross profit increased 18.7% to $50.2 million. Gross billings grew 10.3% to $439.6 million and gross margin improved 30 basis points to 14.5%. Segment ended the quarter with a record backlog.
Business Solutions Growth and Record Profit
Business Solutions net sales increased 6.6% to $275.6 million. Gross profit reached a record $67.5 million (up 3.2%), and gross billings grew 9.3% to $446.0 million.
Improved Operating and Net Income Metrics

Improved Adjusted EBITDA and Expense Discipline
Trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA increased 7.5% to $132.3 million from $123.1 million. SG&A was 15.2% of net sales, down 50 basis points year-over-year, reflecting expense control and a 3% reduction in headcount.
