In discussing financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 in this press release, the Company refers to certain financial measures that are adjusted from the financial results prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). When referring to non-GAAP measures, the Company refers to them as “Adjusted.” See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information. A tabular reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

In some instances, the Company refers to changes in net sales, gross profit, earnings from operations and Adjusted earnings from operations on a consolidated basis and in North America, EMEA and APAC excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company refers to changes in Adjusted diluted earnings per share on a consolidated basis excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. These are also considered to be non-GAAP measures. The Company believes providing this information excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates provides valuable supplemental information to investors regarding its underlying business and results of operations, consistent with how the Company and its management evaluate the Company’s performance. In computing these changes and percentages, the Company compares the current year amount as translated into U.S. dollars under the applicable accounting standards to the prior year amount in local currency translated into U.S. dollars utilizing the weighted average translation rate for the current period. The performance measures excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The tax effect of Adjusted amounts referenced herein were computed using the statutory tax rate for the taxing jurisdictions in the operating segment in which the related expenses were recorded, adjusted for the effects of valuation allowances on net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.

GUIDANCE

For the full year 2026, we are raising our gross profit growth expectations to 8% to 10% and expect gross margin to be between 21.5% and 22.0%. We now expect our Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $12.20 and $12.70. This represents approximately 16% growth at the midpoint of $12.45 compared to our full year 2025 Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $10.75.

This outlook assumes:

• interest and other expenses of approximately $95 million;
• an effective tax rate of 25.5% to 26.5% for the full year;
• capital expenditures between approximately $20 million and $30 million;
• an average share count for the full year of approximately 30.0 million shares.

This outlook excludes acquisition-related intangibles amortization expense of approximately $83.4 million, excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense and assumes no acquisition or integration related expenses, transformation or severance and restructuring expenses, net, no significant change in our debt instruments, and no significant change in the macroeconomic environment, whether due to tariffs or otherwise. Due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting some of these types of expenses, which impact net earnings, diluted earnings per share and selling and administrative expenses, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the impact of such expenses, if any, to net earnings, diluted earnings per share and selling and administrative expenses. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the full year 2026 forecast.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures are referred to as “Adjusted”.

Transformation costs represent costs we are incurring to transform our business to help us achieve our strategic objectives including becoming a leading solutions integrator. The Company excludes these items when internally evaluating earnings from operations, tax expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the Company and earnings from operations for each of the Company’s operating segments. Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share also exclude a net loss on revaluation of warrant settlement liabilities, as applicable. Adjusted diluted earnings per share also includes the impact of the benefit from the note hedge where the Company’s average stock price for the period was in excess of $68.32, which was the initial conversion price of our previously outstanding convertible senior notes (the “Convertible Notes”), which matured in February 2025, as applicable.

These non-GAAP measures are used by the Company and its management to evaluate financial performance against budgeted amounts, to calculate incentive compensation, to assist in forecasting future performance and to compare the Company’s results to those of the Company’s competitors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency, facilitate comparisons to prior periods and the Company’s competitors’ results and assist in forecasting performance for future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
