PART I

ITEM 1.    Business.

ScanSource, Inc. was incorporated in South Carolina in 1992 and is a leading global provider of technology products and solutions. ScanSource, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Company") provide value-added solutions for technology vendors and sell to customers in the following specialty technology markets: POS and barcode, networking and security, communications, telecom and cloud services and emerging technologies.
 
We operate in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. We sell products into the United States and Canada from our facilities located in Mississippi; into Latin America principally from facilities located in Florida, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Chile; and into Europe principally from facilities in Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Business Segments

Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security Segment

The Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment focuses on automatic identification and data capture ("AIDC"), point-of-sale ("POS"), networking, electronic physical security, 3D printing technologies and other specialty technologies. We have business units within this segment in North America, Latin America and Europe. We see adjacencies among these technologies in helping our customers develop solutions, such as with networking products. AIDC and POS products interface with computer systems used to automate the collection, processing and communication of information for commercial and industrial applications, including retail sales, distribution, shipping, inventory control, materials handling, warehouse management and health care applications. Electronic physical security products include identification, access control, video surveillance, intrusion-related and wireless and networking infrastructure products. 3D printing solutions replace and complement traditional methods and reduce the time and cost of designing new products by printing real parts directly from digital input.

Worldwide Communications & Services Segment

The Worldwide Communications & Services segment focuses on communications technologies and services. We have business units within this segment that offer voice, video conferencing, wireless, data networking, cable, collaboration, converged communications solutions, cloud and technology services. In this segment, we operate in North America, Latin America and Europe. As these solutions come together on IP networks, new opportunities are created to move into adjacent solutions for all vertical markets, such as education, healthcare and government. Our teams deliver value-added support programs and services, including education and training, network assessments, custom configuration, implementation and marketing to help customers develop a new technology practice, or to extend their capability and reach.

Products and Markets

We currently market approximately 100,000 products from over 500 hardware, software and service vendors to approximately 34,000 customers from distribution centers in Mississippi, Florida, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

The Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment focuses on AIDC, POS, networking and security.

AIDC technology incorporates the capabilities for electronic identification and data processing without the need for manual input and consists of a wide range of products that include portable data collection terminals, wireless products, bar code label printers and scanners. As AIDC technology has become more pervasive, applications have evolved from traditional uses such as inventory control, materials handling, distribution, shipping and warehouse management to more advanced applications, such as health care.

POS products include those computer-based systems that have replaced electronic cash registers in grocery, retail and hospitality environments. POS product lines include computer-based terminals, monitors, payment processing solutions, receipt printers, pole displays, cash drawers, keyboards, peripheral equipment and fully integrated processing units. In addition, ScanSource POS and Barcode business units sell products that attach to the POS network in the store, including kiosks, network access points, routers and digital signage.

Electronic physical security products include identification, access control, video surveillance and intrusion-related products, and networking infrastructure. Physical security products are used every day across every vertical market to protect lives, property and information. These technology products require specialized knowledge to deploy effectively, and ScanSource Security offers in-depth training and education to its partners to enable them to maintain the appropriate skill levels.

The Worldwide Communications & Services segment focuses on communications technologies and services.

Communications technologies, such as voice and data products include private branch exchanges ("PBXs"), key systems, telephone handsets and components used in voice, fax, data, voice recognition, call center management and IP communication applications. Converged communication products combine voice, data, fax and speech technologies to deliver communications solutions that combine computers, telecommunications and the Internet. Converged communications products include telephone and IP network interfaces, Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") systems, PBX integration products and carrier-class board systems-level products. Video products include video and voice conferencing and network systems; and data networking products include switches, servers and routers.

Our service teams deliver value-added support programs, including education and training, customer configuration, marketing services, network assessments, WiFi services, and partnership programs. Service teams focus on reducing complexity, building efficiency and helping our customers to develop a new technology practice or to extend their capability and reach.

A master agent provides telecommunications network and cloud services and focuses on empowering and educating the channel through assisting business telecom and cloud technologies customers in making informed choices about services, technology and cost savings.

See Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below for a discussion of the amount of our net sales contributed by business segment.

Vendors

We provide the products of approximately 500 vendors, including Aruba/HPE, Axis, AudioCodes, Avaya, Barco, Bematech, Brocade/Ruckus Wireless, CenturyLink, Cisco, Comcast Business, Datalogic, Dell, Dialogic, Elo, Epson, Hanwha, Honeywell, HID, Ingenico, Jabra, Level 3, March Networks, Mitel, NCR, Oracle, Panasonic, Plantronics, Polycom, Samsung, ShoreTel, Sony, Spectralink, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, Ubiquiti, Unify, Verifone, Verizon, Windstream, XO and Zebra Technologies.
 
We provide products for many of our key vendors in all of our geographic markets; however, certain vendors only allow distribution to specific geographies. We typically purchase products directly from the vendor on a non-exclusive basis. Our agreements with our vendors generally do not restrict us from selling similar or comparable products manufactured by competitors. We have the flexibility to terminate or curtail sales of one product line in favor of another due to technological change, pricing considerations, product availability, customer demand or vendor distribution policies.

Three vendors, Avaya, Cisco, and Zebra, each constituted more than 10% of our net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

We have two non-exclusive agreements with Avaya. One agreement covers the distribution of Avaya products in the United States and Latin America, and the other agreement covers distribution of Avaya products in the United Kingdom and portions of continental Europe. Our Avaya agreements each have a one year term that automatically renews for additional one year terms. Either party may terminate upon 180 days' notice for the United States and Latin America agreement and upon 90 days' for the European agreement.

We have three non-exclusive agreements with Cisco. One agreement covers the distribution of Cisco products in the United States for our KBZ business and has a three year term; one agreement covers distribution of Cisco products in the Unites States for the ScanSource business and has a two year term; and one agreement covers distribution of products in Brazil and has a two year term. Each of these agreements must be renewed by written agreement. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days' notice to the other party.

We have two non-exclusive agreements with Zebra. One agreement covers sales of Zebra hardware and software products in North and South America, and another agreement covers sales of Zebra hardware and software products in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"). The Zebra agreements each have a one year term that automatically renews for additional one year terms, and either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days' notice to the other party.

In addition to the agreements mentioned above, we have written agreements with almost all of our vendors. These agreements generally provide us with non-exclusive distribution rights and often include territorial restrictions that limit the countries in which we can distribute our products. Our agreements are generally short-term, subject to periodic renewal, and provide for termination by either party without cause upon 30 to 120 days' notice. These agreements typically provide us with stock rotation and price protection provisions. Stock rotation rights give us the ability, subject to limitations, to return, for credit, or exchange a portion of the items purchased. Price protection rights enable us to take a credit for declines in inventory value resulting from the vendor's price reductions. Along with our inventory management policies and practices, these provisions are designed to reduce our risk of loss due to slow-moving inventory, vendor price reductions, product updates and obsolescence.

We participate in various rebate, cash discount and cooperative marketing programs offered by our vendors to support expenses associated with selling and marketing the vendors' products. These rebates and purchase discounts are generally influenced by sales volumes and are subject to change.

Our vendors generally warrant the products we sell and allow returns of defective products, including those returned to us by our customers. In three of our product lines, we offer a self-branded warranty program. We purchase contracts from unrelated third parties, generally the original equipment manufacturers, to fulfill any obligation to service or replace defective product claimed on these warranty programs. To maintain customer relations, we also facilitate returns of defective products from our customers by accepting for exchange, with our prior approval, most defective products within 30 days of invoicing. In addition, local laws may in some cases impose warranty obligations on the Company.

Customers

We currently have approximately 34,000 active customers located in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our total net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. We generally target resellers, including specialty technology VARs, direct marketers, Information Technology ("IT") system integrators and service providers.

Specialty Technology VARs

These customers focus on selling specialty technology products as tailored software or integrated hardware solutions for their end-users’ existing applications. They also incorporate specialty technology products into customized technology solutions for their end-users. Primary industries served by these customers include manufacturing, distribution, health care, pharmaceutical, hospitality, government, convenience, grocery, financial and other retail markets.

Direct Marketers

These customers provide a very broad range of technology brands to business, government, education and healthcare markets.  They have strong relationships with end users, and are seeking additional revenue and profit opportunities in specialty technology markets such as AIDC, POS, physical security, or communications.

IT System Integrators

These customers develop computer and networking solutions for their end users’ IT needs. They typically have well-established relationships with end user decision makers and are seeking additional revenue and profit opportunities in technology markets, such as AIDC, POS, physical security or communications.

Service Providers

Service providers focus on providing advanced services that offer customized solutions that bundle data, collaboration, cloud, network and digital telecommunication services for their end-users' needs. They specialize in multi-vendor and multi-discipline

services within various geographies. Sales agents focus on selling telecommunications and cloud services to end-users, ensuring end-users are making informed choices about various services, technologies and cost savings.

Competition

The markets in which we operate 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. Because of price competition, sales margins are constantly under pressure.

Our competitors include local, regional, national and international distributors, as well as hardware vendors that sell directly to resellers and to end users. In addition, our competitors include master resellers that sell to franchisees, third party dealers and end users. Certain current and potential competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have and may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Certain smaller, regional competitors, who are specialty two tier or mixed model master resellers, may also be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Competition has increased for our sales units over the last several years as broad line and other value added distributors have entered into the specialty technology markets. Such competition could also result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share.

In our Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment, we compete with broad-line distributors, such as Ingram Micro, Synnex and Tech Data in most geographic areas, and more specialized security distributors, such as ADI and Anixter. Additionally, we also compete against other smaller, more specialized AIDC and POS distributors, such as Azerty, BlueStar, Jarltech and Nimax. In our Worldwide Communications & Services segment, we compete against broad-line distributors, such as Ingram Micro, Synnex and Tech Data, and more specialized distributors, such as Jenne and Westcon. As we seek to expand our business into other areas closely related to our offerings, we may encounter increased competition from current competitors and/or from new competitors, some of which may be our current customers.

Sales and Electronic Commerce

Our sales department consists primarily of inside sales representatives located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Belgium, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain. In order to build strong customer relationships, most active customers are assigned to a sales representative. Each sales representative negotiates pricing directly with his or her assigned customers. We also employ business development representatives who are responsible for developing technical expertise within broad product markets, recruiting customers, creating demand, and reviewing overall product and service requirements of our customers. Each sales representative and business development representative receives comprehensive training with respect to the technical characteristics of each vendor’s products. This training is supplemented by frequent product seminars conducted by vendors’ representatives and bi-weekly meetings among product, marketing and sales managers.

Increasingly, customers are relying upon our electronic ordering and information systems as sources for product information, including availability and price. Through our websites, most customers can gain remote access to our information systems to check real-time product availability, see their customized pricing and place orders. Customers can also follow the status of their orders and obtain package tracking details.

Marketing

We market our products and services through a range of channels, including digital campaigns, such as search engine optimization, search engine marketing, content marketing, content automation, e-commerce, social media optimization, email direct marketing, and online product catalogs for each of the North American, European, and Latin American markets. Additional marketing activities include periodic newsletters, management of sales leads, trade shows with hardware/software companies and vendors, and sales promotions. We also organize and operate our own training and certification courses - working closely with top vendors to recruit prospective customers and introduce new applications for the specialty technology products we distribute. We frequently customize our marketing for vendors and customers.

Value-Added Services

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements



We differentiate the Company by providing our customers and our vendors an array of pre-sale business tools and value-added services, including logistics, financial services, product configuration tools, sales expertise, and technical support. These services allow our customers to gain knowledge on marketing, to gain expertise in selling and negotiation, to improve customer service, to grow their business profitably and to be more cost effective in their business. Our business is enhanced by our ability and our willingness to provide the extra service that keeps both our vendors and our customers satisfied.

Operations

Information Systems

We are in the process of continuing to roll-out a new, global SAP information system designed to replace the current existing systems. This new system is currently operating in North America, most of Europe and Latin America, excluding Brazil. Our information systems (including the new SAP system) are scalable and capable of supporting numerous operational functions including purchasing, receiving, order processing, shipping, inventory management and accounting. Sales representatives rely on the information systems for on-line, real-time information on product pricing, inventory availability and reservation, and order status. Our warehouse operations use bar code technology for receiving and shipping, and automated systems for freight processing and shipment tracking, each of which is integrated with our multiple information systems. The customer service and technical support departments employ the systems for documentation and faster processing of customer inquiries. To ensure that adequate inventory levels are maintained, our buyers depend on the system’s purchasing and receiving functions to track inventory on a continual basis.

Warehouse and Shipping Strategy

We operate a 741,000 square foot distribution center in Southaven, Mississippi, which is located near the FedEx hub facility in Memphis, Tennessee, and serves primarily all of North America. Our European operations utilize a limited number of distribution centers located in Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Warehouses for our Latin American operations are located in Florida, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Chile. Our objective is to ship all orders on the same day, using technology to expedite shipments and minimize shipping errors. We offer reduced freight rates and flexible delivery options to minimize a customers’s need for inventory.

Financial Services

Our sales terms are competitive within our specific geographic areas for qualified customers and facilitate various third-party financing options, which include leasing, flooring and other secured financing. We believe this policy reduces the customer’s need to establish multiple credit relationships with a large number of manufacturers.

Employees

As of June 30, 2017, we had over 2,000 employees located in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. We have no organized labor or trade unions in the United States. We consider our employee relations to be good.

Service Marks

We conduct our business under the trade names "ScanSource POS and Barcode," "ScanSource Catalyst," "ScanSource Communications," "ScanSource Services," "ScanSource Networking and Security," "ScanSource KBZ," "ScanSource Europe," "ScanSource Europe Communications," "ScanSource Latin America," "ScanSource de Mexico," "ScanSource Brasil," "ScanSource Imago," "Network1, a ScanSource company," "Intelisys" and "POS Portal."

Certain of our trademarks and service marks are registered, or are in the process of being registered, in the United States and various other countries. We have been issued registrations for the marks including, among others, "ScanSource," "Catalyst Telecom," and "Network1" in countries in our principal markets.   Even though our marks are not registered in every country where we conduct business, in many cases we have acquired rights in those marks because of our continued use of them. These marks do not have value assigned to them and have a designated indefinite life. We do not believe that our operations are dependent upon any of our marks. We also sell products and provide services under various trademarks and service marks to which reference is made in this report that are the property of owners other than the Company.

Additional Information

Our principal internet address is www.scansource.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report. We provide our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports, free of charge on www.scansource.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

ITEM 1A.
Risk Factors.

The following are certain risks that could affect our business, financial position and results of operations. These risks should be considered in connection with evaluating an investment in our company and, in particular, the forward-looking statements contained in this Report because these risks could cause the actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Additionally, there are other risks that we may not describe, because we currently do not perceive them to be material or because they are presently unknown, which could impact us. If any of these risks develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any risk factors, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Organic growth strategies - If we fail to effectively manage and implement our organic growth strategies, we will experience a negative effect on our business and financial results.

A significant component of our growth strategy has been to add new vendors and products, and we expect to be able to enter new product markets in the future. Expansion of our existing product markets and entry into new product markets divert the use of our resources and systems, require additional resources that might not be available (or available on acceptable terms), result in new or more intense competition, may require longer implementation times or greater start-up expenditures than anticipated, and may otherwise fail to achieve the desired results in a timely fashion, if at all. In addition, while we have been successful in adding new vendors in the past, we already represent most of the significant vendors in our primary areas of focus, and there is regular consolidation among our vendors. As a result, there may be fewer vendor expansion opportunities in the future. If we are unable to increase our sales and earnings by expanding our product offerings in a cost effective manner, then our results may suffer.

Our ability to successfully manage our growth will require continued enhancement of our operational, managerial and financial resources and controls. Our failure to effectively manage our growth would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Acquisitions - Our growth strategy includes acquisitions of companies that complement or expand our existing business. Acquisitions involve unique risks and uncertainties.

We have acquired, and expect to continue to acquire, companies that complement or expand our existing business in the United States and internationally, and some of these acquisitions may be in lines of business where we have little, if any, experience. Acquisitions entail a number of risks, including that the acquired company will not perform as expected and that we will be responsible for unexpected costs or liabilities. In addition, increases in the size and complexity of our business place a significant strain on our management, operations, technical performance, financial resources and internal financial control and reporting functions, and there are no assurances that we will be able to manage the acquisition process or newly acquired companies effectively. Our personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to effectively manage our future operations, especially as we employ personnel in multiple domestic and international locations. We may not be able to hire, train, retain and manage the personnel required to address our growth. Failure to effectively manage our growth opportunities could damage our reputation, limit our future growth, negatively affect our operating results and harm our business.

International operations - Our international operations expose us to risks that are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks we are exposed to domestically.

We currently have significant facilities outside the United States, and a significant portion of our revenue is derived from our international operations. These operations are subject to a variety of risks that are different from the risks that we face domestically or are similar risks but with potentially greater exposure. These risks include:

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements



Fluctuations of foreign currency and exchange rates, which can impact sales, costs of the goods we sell and the reporting of our results and assets on our financial statements;
Difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods;
Changes in, or expiration of, various foreign incentives that provide economic benefits to us;
Labor laws that impact our ability to hire, retain and discharge employees;
Difficulties in staffing and managing operations in foreign countries;
Changes in international trade laws, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, affecting our import and export activities, including export license requirements, restrictions on the export of certain technology and tariff changes;
Changes in the interpretation and enforcement of laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation);
Global economic and financial market instability related to the U.K.’s referendum withdrawal from the E.U.;
Potential political and economic instability and changes in governments;
Compliance with foreign and domestic import and export regulations and anti-corruption laws, including the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws of other jurisdictions, governing our business activities outside the United States, the violation of which could result in severe penalties, including monetary fines, criminal proceedings and suspension of export or import privileges; and
Terrorist or military actions that result in destruction or seizure of our assets or suspension or disruption of our operations or those of our customers.

We currently transact business in the U.K., where we also have offices and a distribution center, and in key E.U. markets. A majority of U.K. voters voted for the U.K. to exit the E.U. (“Brexit”). Negotiations are expected to commence to determine the future terms of the U.K.’s relationship with the E.U., including the terms of trade between the U.K. and the E.U. and the rest of the world. The effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the U.K. makes to retain access to E.U. markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. The measures could potentially disrupt the markets we serve and the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and adversely change tax benefits or liabilities in these or other jurisdictions, and may cause us to lose customers, suppliers and employees.

Brazilian and Latin America operations - We face special political, economic and regulatory risks by doing business in Brazil and other Latin American countries, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We have substantial operations in Brazil and other Latin American countries and face risks related to these country's complex tax, labor, trade compliance and consumer protection laws and regulations. Additionally, developing markets such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru have greater political volatility, greater vulnerability to infrastructure and labor disruptions, are more likely than developed economies to experience market, currency and interest rate fluctuations and may have higher inflation. In addition, doing business in these countries poses additional challenges, such as finding and retaining qualified employees, particularly management-level employees, underdeveloped infrastructure and identifying and retaining qualified suppliers and service providers, among other risks. Furthermore, in developing markets it may be common for others to engage in business practices prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or similar local anti-bribery laws. Our commitment to compliance with these laws could put us at a competitive disadvantage, and any lapses in our compliance could subject us to civil and criminal penalties that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, competition in developing markets is increasing as our competitors grow their global operations. Our success in integrating our Brazilian and additional Latin American operations is critical to our growth strategy. If we cannot successfully increase our business in these countries, our product sales, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Credit exposure - We have credit exposure to our customers. Any adverse trends in their businesses could cause us to suffer credit losses.

As is customary in our industry, we extend credit to our customers, and most of our sales are on open accounts. We may be unable to collect on receivables if our customers experience decreases in demand for their products and services, do not manage their businesses adequately, or otherwise become less able to pay due to adverse economic conditions or refinancing events. As we grow and compete for business, our typical payment terms tend to be longer, and therefore may increase our credit risk.

While we evaluate our customers' qualifications for credit and monitor our extensions of credit, and in some instances purchase credit insurance, these efforts cannot prevent all credit losses, and credit losses negatively impact our performance. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, we estimate future credit losses and establish reserves. To the extent that our credit losses exceed

7

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements



those reserves, our financial performance will be negatively impacted beyond what is expected. If there is deterioration in the collectability of our receivables, or if we are unable to collect under credit insurance policies, or we fail to take other actions to adequately mitigate such credit risk, our earnings, cash flows and our ability to utilize receivable-based financing could deteriorate.

In addition, extending credit to international customers involves additional risks. It is often more difficult to evaluate credit of a customer or obtain credit protections in our international operations. Also, credit cycles and collection periods are typically longer in our international operations. As a result of these factors and other challenges in extending credit to international customers, we generally face greater credit risk from sales internationally compared to domestic sales.

Vendors - Terminations of a distribution or services agreement or a significant change in supplier terms, authorizations, or lack of product availability, or conditions of sale could negatively affect our operating margins, revenues or the level of capital required to fund our operations.

A significant percentage of our net sales relates to products we purchase from relatively few vendors. As a result of such concentration risk, terminations of supply or services agreements or a change in terms or conditions of sale from one or more of our key vendors could negatively affect our operating margins, revenues or the level of capital required to fund our operations. Our vendors have the ability to make adverse changes in their sales terms and conditions, such as reducing the level of purchase discounts and rebates they make available to us. We have no guaranteed price or delivery agreements with our vendors. In certain product categories, limited price protection or return rights offered by our vendors may have a bearing on the amount of product we may be willing to stock. Our inability to pass through to our customers the impact of these changes, as well as our failure to develop systems to manage ongoing vendor programs, could cause us to record inventory write-downs or other losses and could have significant negative impact on our gross margins.

We receive purchase discounts and rebates from some vendors based on various factors, including goals for quantitative and qualitative sales or purchase volume and customer related metrics. Certain purchase discounts and rebates may affect gross margins. Many purchase discounts from vendors are based on percentage increases in sales of products. Our operating results would be negatively impacted if these rebates or discounts are reduced or eliminated or if our vendors significantly increase the complexity of their refund procedures and thus increase costs for us to receive such rebates.

Our ability to obtain particular products or product lines in the required quantities and our ability to fulfill customer orders on a timely basis is critical to our success. Our vendors have experienced product supply shortages from time to time due to the inability of certain of their suppliers to supply certain products on a timely basis. As a result, we have experienced, and may in the future continue to experience, short-term shortages of specific products. We cannot provide any assurances that vendors will be able to maintain an adequate supply of products to fulfill all of our customer orders on a timely basis.

Vendors who currently distribute their products through us, may decide to shift to or substantially increase their existing distribution with other distributors, their own dealer networks, or directly to resellers or end-users. Vendors have, from time to time, made efforts to reduce the number of distributors with which they do business. This could result in more intense competition as distributors strive to secure distribution rights with these vendors, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results. Our reputation, sales and profitability may suffer if vendors are not able to provide us with an adequate supply of products to fulfill our customer orders on a timely basis or if we cannot otherwise obtain particular products or a product lines.

In addition, our dependence on a limited number of vendors leaves us vulnerable to having an inadequate supply of required products, price increases, late deliveries and poor product quality.  Like other distributors in our industry, we occasionally experience shortages and are unable to purchase our desired volume of products.  Increasingly, our vendors are combining and merging together, leaving us with fewer alternative sources. If we are unable to maintain an adequate supply of products, or if vendors do not regularly invest in, introduce to us, and/or make new products available to us for distribution, our revenue and gross profit could suffer considerably.  Finally, we cannot provide any assurance that particular products, or product lines, will be available to us, or available in quantities sufficient to meet customer demand.  Any limits to product access could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

On January 19, 2017, Avaya Inc. (“Avaya”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  Avaya is one of our largest vendors, and while we expect Avaya to reorganize under the Bankruptcy Code and for our relationship with Avaya to continue consistent with past practices, the bankruptcy process entails numerous uncertainties and it is possible that Avaya will not be able to successfully reorganize, or that the bankruptcy will result in a loss of customer confidence that will negatively impact sales.  Any such adverse outcome could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Vendor consolidation may also lead to changes in the nature and terms of relationships with our vendors. The loss or deterioration of a major vendor relationship would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Competition - We experience intense competition in all of our markets. Such competition could result in reduced margins and loss of our market share.

The markets that we operate in are fiercely competitive. We compete on the basis of price, product availability, speed and accuracy of delivery, effectiveness of sales and marketing programs, credit availability, ability to tailor solutions to the needs of our customers, quality and breadth of product line and services and availability of technical and product information. Our competitors include local, regional, national and international distributors as well as hardware vendors that sell directly to resellers and to end users. In addition, we compete with master resellers that sell to franchisees, third party dealers and end users. Certain of our current and potential competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have and may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Certain smaller, regional competitors, who are specialty two-tier or mixed model master resellers, may also be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Competition has increased for our sales units as broad line and other value-added distributors have entered into the specialty technology markets. Such competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of our market share.

As a result of intense price competition in our industry, our gross margins and our operating profit margins have historically been narrow, and we expect them to be narrow in the future. To remain competitive, we may be forced to offer more credit or extended payment terms to our customers. This could result in an increase in our need for capital, increase our financing costs, increase our bad debt expenses and have a negative impact on our financial results. We do not offer any assurance that we will not lose market share, or that we will not be forced in the future to reduce our prices in response to the action of our competitors and thereby experience a reduction in our gross margins. We expect continued intense competition as current competitors expand their operations and new competitors enter the market. Our inability to compete successfully against current and future competitors could cause our revenue and earnings to decline.

Customers - We operate in a highly competitive environment and good customer relations are critical to our success. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain and expand our customer relationships or acquire new customers.

Meeting our customers' needs quickly and fairly is critical to our business success. Our transactions with our customers are generally performed on a purchase order basis rather than under long term supply agreements. Therefore, our customers can readily choose to purchase from other sources. From time to time, we experience shortages in availability of some products from vendors, and this impacts our customers' decisions regarding whether to make purchases from us. Anything that negatively impacts our customer relations also can negatively impact our operating results. Accordingly, our sales can vary as a result of fluctuations in pricing, product availability, purchasing patterns of end-users and general competitive and economic conditions.

Customer consolidation may also lead to changes in the nature and terms of relationships with our customers. The loss or deterioration of a major customer relationship would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

IT Systems and the transition to a new Enterprise Resource Planning System - Our ability to manage our business and monitor results is highly dependent upon information and communication systems. A failure of these systems could disrupt our business.

We are highly dependent upon a variety of internal computer and telecommunication systems to operate our business, including our enterprise resource planning ("ERP") systems. In order to continue support of our growth, we are making significant technological upgrades to our information systems. This is a lengthy and expensive process that has resulted, and will continue to result in a diversion of resources from other operations.

Our new global ERP system is currently operating in part of our Europe business, Latin America, excluding Brazil, and North America. As we continue to implement our new ERP system in additional geographies, including Brazil, any disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design and/or implementation of the system, or in the performance of our legacy systems, could adversely affect our ability to effectively run and manage our business and potentially our customers' ability to access our price and product availability information or place orders. Further, as we are dependent upon our ability to gather and promptly transmit accurate information to key decision makers, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected if our information systems do not allow us to transmit accurate information, even for a short period of time. Failure to properly or adequately address these issues could impact our ability to perform necessary business operations, which could adversely affect our reputation, competitive position, business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the information systems of companies we acquire may not be sufficient to meet our standards or we may not be able to successfully convert them to provide acceptable information on a timely and cost-effective basis. Furthermore, we must attract and retain qualified people to operate our systems, expand and improve them, integrate new programs effectively with our existing programs, and convert to new systems efficiently when required. Any disruption to our business due to such issues, or an increase in our costs to cover these issues that is greater than what we have anticipated, could have an adverse effect on our financial results and operations.

Our customers rely increasingly on our electronic ordering and information systems as a source for product information, including availability and pricing. There can be no assurance that our systems will not fail or experience disruptions, and any significant failure or disruption of these systems could prevent us from making sales, ordering and delivering products and otherwise conducting our business. Many of our customers use our website to check real-time product availability, see their customized pricing and place orders. While our website has not experienced any material disruptions or security breakdowns, any disruptions or breaches in security or a breach that compromises sensitive information could harm our relationship with our vendors, customers and other business partners. Any material disruption of our website or the Internet in general could impair our order processing or prevent our vendors and customers from accessing information and cause us to lose business.

Cyber security risk - Our reputation and business may be harmed from cyber security risk and we may be subject to legal claims if there is loss, disclosure or misappropriation of or access to our customers' or our business partners' or our own information or other breaches of our information security.

We make extensive use of online services and centralized data processing, including through third party service providers. The secure maintenance and transmission of customer information is a critical element of our operations. Our information technology and other systems that maintain and transmit customer or employee information or those of service providers or business partners may be compromised by a malicious third-party penetration of our network security, or that of a third-party service provider or business partner, or impacted by advertent or inadvertent actions or inactions by our employees, or those of a third-party service provider or business partner. Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security, or that of our third-party service providers, and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information, create system disruptions, or cause shutdowns. As a result, our customers' information may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without our customers' consent.

We are subject to regulations relating to customer privacy and the protection of personal information. Any such loss, disclosure or misappropriation of, or access to, customers' or business partners' information or other breach of our information security can result in legal claims or legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and actions, may have a serious impact on our reputation and may adversely affect our businesses, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, the loss, disclosure or misappropriation of our business information may adversely affect our businesses, operating results and financial condition.

Economic weakness - Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty could adversely affect our results and prospects.

Our financial results, operations and prospects depend significantly on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions, the demand for our products and services, and the financial condition of our customers and suppliers. Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty have in the past resulted, and may result in the future, in reduced demand for products resulting in decreased sales, margins and earnings. Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty may also lead us to impair assets, including goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, take restructuring actions and reduce expenses in response to decreased sales or margins. We may not be able to adequately adjust our cost structure in a timely fashion, which may adversely impact our profitability. Uncertainty about economic conditions may increase foreign currency volatility in markets in which we transacts business, which may negatively impact our results. Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty also make it more difficult for us to manage inventory levels and/or collect customer receivables, which may result in provisions to create reserves, write-offs, reduced access to liquidity and higher financing costs.
  
People - The departure, transition or replacement of key personnel could significantly impact results of our operations. If we cannot continue to hire and retain high quality employees, our business and financial results may be negatively affected.

Our operating results could be adversely affected by increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased salary and benefit costs. Like most businesses, our employees are important to our success and we are dependent in part on our ability to retain the services of our key management, sales, IT, operational, finance and administrative personnel. We have built our business on a set of core values, and we attempt to hire employees who are committed to these values. We want to hire and retain employees who will fit our culture of providing exceptional service to our vendors and customers. In order to compete and to continue to grow, we must attract, retain and motivate employees, including those in executive, senior management, sales,

marketing, logistics, technical support and other operating positions. Our worldwide management structure provides improved management of our operations and improved succession planning within our organization.

Many of our employees work in small teams to provide specific services to vendors and customers. They are trained to develop their knowledge of products, programs and practices and customer business needs, as well as to enhance the skills required to provide exceptional service and to manage our business. As they gain experience and develop their knowledge and skills, our employees become highly desired by other businesses. Therefore, to retain our employees, we have to provide a satisfying work environment and competitive compensation and benefits. If our costs to retain our skilled employees increase, then our business and financial results may be negatively affected.

Disruptive technology - We may not be able to respond and adapt to rapid technological changes, evolving industry standards or changing customer needs or requirements, and thus may become less competitive.

Our ability to react quickly to new technology trends and customer requirements is crucial to our overall success, financial condition and results of operations. If we fail to evolve our product offerings or engage with desirable vendors in time to respond to, and remain ahead of, new technological developments, it would adversely affect our ability to retain or increase market share and revenues. New technologies may emerge that quickly surpass the capabilities of the products we currently hold in inventory or have access to sell through our existing vendor network, and our customers may no longer view our product offerings as desirable or necessary, which could result in a reduction in our market share and ability to obtain sufficient profit margins. Some of our competitors and our vendors’ competitors may be more nimble in adapting to disruptive technology or entering new markets. Our future success depends on our ability to adapt and manage our product offerings to meet customer needs at prices that our customers are willing to pay.

Foreign currency - Our international operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We transact sales, pay expenses, own assets and incur liabilities in countries using currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Volatility in foreign exchange rates increase our risk of loss related to products purchased in a currency other than the currency in which those products are sold. We maintain policies to reduce our net exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments, however there can be no assurance that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will not materially affect our financial results. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate our financial statements into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the exchanges rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies we transact in may positively or negatively affect our results of operations. In addition, unexpected and dramatic changes in foreign currency exchange rates may negatively affect our earnings from those markets.

Centralized functions - We have centralized a number of functions to provide efficient support to our business. As a result, a loss or reduction of use of one of our locations would have an adverse effect on our business operations and financial results.

In order to be as efficient as possible, we centralize a number of critical functions. For instance, we currently distribute products to the majority of North America from a single warehouse. Similarly, for the primary business operations, we utilize a single information system based in the United States for the majority of our North American and European operations, while our Latin American operations have separate systems. While we have backup systems and business continuity plans, any significant or lengthy interruption of our ability to provide these centralized functions would significantly impair our ability to continue normal business operations. In addition, the centralization of these functions increases our exposure to local risks, such as the availability of qualified employees and the lessening of competition for critical services, such as freight and communications.

Inventory - The value of our inventory may be adversely affected by market and other factors.

Our business, like that of other distributors, is subject to the risk that the value of our inventory will be adversely affected by price reductions by manufacturers, by technological changes affecting the usefulness or desirability of our products or by foreign currency fluctuations. Under the terms of most of our vendor agreements and the policy of most manufacturers of specialty technology products, we have some price protection and stock rotation opportunities with respect to slow-moving or obsolete inventory items. However, these protections are limited in scope and do not protect against all declines in inventory value, excess inventory, or product obsolescence, and in some instances we may not be able to fulfill all necessary conditions or successfully manage such price protection or stock rotation opportunities. In addition, these industry practices are sometimes not reflected in vendor agreements and their application in a particular situation is dependent upon negotiations between our vendors and us. As a result,

11

Index to Financial Statements



from time-to-time we are required to write down the value of excess and obsolete inventory, and should any of these write-downs occur at a significant level, they could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Liquidity and capital resources - Market factors may increase the cost and availability of capital. Additional capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms to fund our working capital needs and growth.

Our business requires significant levels of capital to finance accounts receivable and product inventory that is not financed by trade creditors. We have an increased demand for capital when our business is expanding, including through acquisitions and organic growth. Changes in payment terms with either suppliers or customers could also increase our capital requirements. We have historically relied upon cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, secured and unsecured borrowings and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under a subsidiary's line of credit to satisfy our capital needs and to finance growth. While we believe that our existing sources of liquidity will provide sufficient resources to meet our current working capital and cash requirements, if we require an increase in capital to meet our future business needs, such capital may not be available to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Changes in how lenders rate our credit worthiness, as well as macroeconomic factors such as an economic downturn and global economic instability may restrict our ability to raise capital in adequate amounts or on terms acceptable to us, and the failure to do so could harm our ability to operate our business.

In addition, our cash and cash equivalents are deposited with various financial institutions located in the various countries in which we operate. We endeavor to monitor these financial institutions regularly for credit quality; however, we are exposed to risk of loss on such funds or we may experience significant disruptions in our liquidity needs if one or more of these financial institutions were to suffer bankruptcy or similar restructuring.

Reliance on third parties - We are dependent on third parties for services including, the delivery of a majority of our products, logistics and warehousing. Changes in shipping terms or the failure or inability of our third-party shippers to perform could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

We rely on arrangements with third parties to perform certain services for our business and for our customers, which, if not performed by these third parties in accordance with the terms of the arrangement could result in significant disruptions or costs to our organization, including monetary damages and an adverse effect on our customer relationships.

In particular, we are dependent upon major shipping companies, including FedEx and UPS, for the shipment of our products to and from our centralized warehouses. 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, or any other reason), could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, we have experienced significant increases in shipping costs due to increases in fuel costs. Additionally, deterioration of the financial condition of our carriers could have an adverse impact on our logistical processes and shipping costs. Poor financial condition of our freight carriers could result in delayed responsiveness in their service lead times, which would ultimately affect our responsiveness to our customers. Additionally, if our carriers were to increase our shipping costs, it may adversely affect our financial results if we are unable to pass on these higher costs to our customers.

In Europe, Brazil and other Latin American countries, we use third parties to provide warehousing and logistics services in order to provide cost-effective operations and scale in certain regions. The failure or inability of one or more of these third parties to deliver products from suppliers to us or products from us to our customers for any reason could disrupt our business and harm our reputation and operating results. We work closely with our third-party logistics and warehousing providers to anticipate issues, and also review public information regarding their financial health. However, issues may not be identified timely, which may lead to lack of or poor execution, loss or litigation. Additionally, deterioration of the financial condition of our logistical and warehousing providers could result in delayed responsiveness or delivery failure, which would ultimately affect our responsiveness to our customers and thus may adversely affect our business, operations and financial performance.

Increased government scrutiny - We may be subject to additional costs and subject to fines and penalties because certain governmental entities are end-users of products that we sell.

Certain of our customers sell our products to United States government entities, which require us to comply with additional laws, regulations, or contractual requirements relating to how we conduct business. In complying with these laws, regulations, and other requirements, we may incur additional costs, and non-compliance may also allow for the assignment of fines and penalties, including contractual damages or the loss of certain contracts or business. We may also be subject to increased scrutiny and investigation into our business practices, which may increase operating costs and increase legal liability, as well as expose us to additional risk surrounding our reputation.

Fair value measurement of contingent consideration, goodwill and other intangible assets - Changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value could have a significant effect on our reported earnings.

We have structured several of our acquisitions with upfront payments and additional earnout payments. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, a liability for the contingent consideration driven by an earn-out must be recorded at the onset of the purchase and must be revalued at every reporting period. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded as an adjustment to operating income. These changes can occur due to changes in estimated future financial results, the probabilities of achieving these results, the discount rate reflective of our creditworthiness and the market risk premium associated with the Brazilian market. Both gains and losses can occur due to changes in these fair value estimates, thus increasing volatility of our earnings.

On at least an annual basis, we are required to assess our goodwill and other intangible assets, including but not limited to customer relationships and trade names, for impairment. This includes continuously monitoring events and circumstances that could trigger an impairment test outside of our annual impairment testing date in the fourth quarter of each year. Testing goodwill and other intangibles for impairment requires the use of significant estimates and other inputs outside of our control. If the carrying value of goodwill in any of our goodwill reporting units or other intangible assets is determined to exceed their respective fair values, we may be required to record significant impairment charges that would adversely affect our operating results.

Goodwill impairments - Goodwill impairments and impairments of long-lived assets could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have substantial goodwill. We test our goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year for all reporting units, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would warrant such a review. We were not required to record an impairment charge with respect to our goodwill within the past three years. However, in the future, the fair value of one of our reporting units may decrease below its carrying amount and future goodwill impairments that may be material could be recognized.  Any declines resulting in a goodwill impairment or long-lived asset impairment may result in material non-cash charges to our earnings. Impairment charges would also reduce our consolidated shareholders' equity and increase our debt-to-total-capitalization ratio, which could negatively impact our credit rating and access to the public debt and equity markets.

Failure to comply with environmental regulations - We are subject to various environmental regulations, and failing to comply with any requirements may adversely affect our business operations or financial results.

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations addressing environmental and other impacts from product disposal, use of hazardous materials in products, recycling of products at the end of their useful life and other related matters. Compliance with these environmental laws may have a material adverse effect on our business. These laws include the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, ("RoHS"), RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU ("RoHS 2") and the European Union Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive ("WEEE") as enacted by individual European Union countries and other similar legislation adopted in North America. These directives can make companies involved in the production or distribution of electrical goods, including computers and printers, responsible for collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of recovered products. In addition, these directives and similar legislation can have an impact on the types and design of products we are able to sell in jurisdictions that have adopted such restrictions. While we strive to ensure we are in compliance with all applicable regulations, certain of these regulations impose strict liability. Additionally, we may be held responsible for the prior activities of entities that we have acquired or will acquire in the future. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, as well as third party claims for property damage or personal injury. Further, environmental laws may become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violation, which could adversely affect our business, financial position or results of operations.

Quarterly fluctuations - Our net sales and operating results are dependent on a number of factors. Our net sales will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and these fluctuations may cause volatility in our stock price.

Our net sales and operating results may fluctuate quarterly and, as a result our performance in one period may vary significantly from our performance in the preceding quarter, and may differ significantly from our forecast of performance from quarter to quarter. The impact of these variances may cause volatility in our stock price. Additionally, any past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in the future as our operating results may fluctuate significantly quarter to quarter. The results of any quarterly period are not indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Volatility of Stock Price- The trading price of our common stock.

13

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements




The stock market as a whole and the trading prices of companies in the wholesale electronics industry have been volatile. This broad market and industry volatility could significantly reduce the price of our common stock at any time, without regard to our own operating performance. This volatility may affect the price at which you could sell your common stock. Our stock price is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors; variations in our quarterly operating results from our expectations or those of securities analysts or investors; downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates; and announcement by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, transactions, partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments.

A material decline in the price of our common stock may result in the assertion of certain claims against us, and/or the commencement of inquiries and/or investigations against us. A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital, if needed, and the inability for you to obtain a favorable price at which you could sell your shares.
  
Litigation - We routinely are involved in litigation that can be costly and lead to adverse results.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are involved in a wide range of disputes, some of which result in litigation. We are routinely involved in litigation related to commercial disputes surrounding our business activities, intellectual property disputes, and accounts receivable collection activity. In addition, as a public company with a large shareholder base, we are susceptible to class-action and other litigation resulting from disclosures that we make (or do not make) and our other activities. Litigation is expensive to bring and defend, and the outcome of litigation can be adverse and significant. Not all adverse outcomes can be anticipated, and applicable accounting rules do not always require or permit the establishment of a reserve until a final result has occurred or becomes probable and estimable. In some instances we are insured for the potential losses; in other instances we are not. An uninsured or underinsured adverse outcome in significant litigation could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We can make no assurances that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of any of these disputes. See Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" for further discussion of our material legal matters.

ITEM 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

ScanSource, Inc. is a leading global provider of technology products and solutions. ScanSource, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") provide value-added solutions for over 500 technology vendors and sell to approximately 34,000 customers in the following specialty technology markets: POS and barcode, networking and security, communications, telecom and cloud services, and emerging technologies.

We operate our business under a management structure that enhances our worldwide technology market focus and growth strategy. As a part of this structure, ScanSource has two technology segments, each with its own president or co-presidents: Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security and Worldwide Communications & Services.

We operate in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. We sell products into the United States and Canada from its facilities located in Mississippi; into Latin America principally from facilities located in Florida, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Chile; and into Europe principally from facilities in Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Our key vendors include Aruba/HPE, Axis, AudioCodes, Avaya, Barco, Bematech, Brocade/Ruckus Wireless, CenturyLink, Cisco, Comcast Business, Datalogic, Dell, Dialogic, Elo, Epson, Extreme, Hanwha, Honeywell, HID, HP, Ingenico, Jabra, Level 3, March Networks, Mitel, NCR, Oracle, Panasonic, Plantronics, Polycom, Samsung, ShoreTel, Sony, Spectralink, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, Ubiquiti, Unify, Verifone, Verizon, Windstream, XO and Zebra Technologies.

Recent Developments

On July 31, 2017 we acquired substantially all the assets of POS Portal, a leading provider of payment devices and services primarily to the SMB market segment in the United States. POS Portal joined our Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security operating segment. With the addition of POS Portal, we intend to create the industry's leading payments channel, ensuring customers have access to the solutions, services and support that can help them be successful.

Our Strategy

Our objective is to continue to grow profitable sales in the technologies we sell and to focus on growth in higher margin businesses. We continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions to enhance our technological offerings and service capabilities. In doing so, we face numerous challenges that require attention and resources. Certain business units and geographies are experiencing increased competition for the products we sell. This competition may come in the form of pricing, credit terms, service levels and product availability. As this competition could affect both our market share and pricing of our products, we may change our strategy in order to effectively compete in the marketplace.

Cost Control/Profitability

Our operating income is driven by gross profits and by a disciplined control of operating expenses. Our operations feature scalable information systems, streamlined management and centralized distribution, enabling us to achieve the economies of scale necessary for cost-effective order fulfillment. From inception, we have managed our general and administrative expenses by maintaining strong cost controls. However, in order to continue to grow in our markets, we have continued to invest in new technologies and increased marketing efforts to recruit new customers.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain income and expense items as a percentage of net sales:

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015

During the current year, we elected to transition a portion of our Latin American business from the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment to the Worldwide Communications & Services segment. We have reclassified prior period results for each business segment to provide comparable information.

Net Sales

We have two reportable segments, which are based on technologies. Prior period results have been reclassified in the current year to account for the movement of certain business operations from the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment to the Worldwide Communications & Services segment. The following tables summarize our net sales results by business segment and by geographic location for the comparable fiscal years ending June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements



The Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment consists of sales to technology customers in North America, Europe, and Latin America. During fiscal year 2017 net sales for this segment increased $27.6 million or 1.2% compared to fiscal year 2016, primarily resulting from sales growth in North America. Excluding the foreign exchange positive impact of $10.2 million and sales from the KBZ acquisition for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, adjusted net sales for fiscal year 2017 decreased $47.3 million, or 2.0%, compared to fiscal year 2016. The decrease in adjusted net sales is primarily due to lower sales volume in our international business and a large transaction with our KBZ business in the prior year December quarter that did not recur, nor did we expect it to recur.

Worldwide Communications & Services

The Worldwide Communications & Services segment consists of sales to technology customers in North America, Europe and Latin America. During fiscal year 2017, net sales for this segment increased $0.4 million compared to fiscal year 2016, primarily due to the Intelisys acquisition, partially offset by lower net sales in all geographies. Excluding the foreign exchange positive impact of $8.6 million and sales from the Intelisys acquisition, adjusted net sales for fiscal year 2017 decreased $37.6 million, or 3.2%, compared to fiscal year 2016. The decrease in adjusted net sales is due to overall lower sales volume in all geographies.

Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security

During fiscal year 2016 net sales for this segment increased $242.9 million, or 11.5%, compared to fiscal year 2015 primarily from the inclusion of sales from KBZ, acquired in September 2015. Excluding the foreign exchange negative impact of $80.4 million and sales from acquisitions of $309.4 million, adjusted net sales fiscal year 2016 increased $13.9 million, or 0.7%, compared to fiscal 2015. The increase in adjusted net sales is primarily due to growth in our POS and Barcode business in North America.

Worldwide Communications & Services

During fiscal year 2016, net sales for this segment increased $78.7 million or 7.2% compared to fiscal year 2015 primarily driven by the inclusion of a full year of sales for Network1. Excluding foreign exchange negative impact of $22.8 million and sales from acquisitions of $118.9 million, adjusted net sales fiscal year 2016 decreased $12.8 million, or 1.2%, compared to fiscal 2015. The decrease in adjusted net sales is primarily due to lower sales in North America, partially offset by sales growth in Europe.

Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security

Gross profit dollars for the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment decreased for fiscal year 2017 and gross profit margin decreased slightly to 8.2%, compared to 8.3% for fiscal year 2016, primarily due to vendor program changes from the prior year.

Worldwide Communications & Services

Gross profit dollars and gross profit margin for the Worldwide Communications & Services segment increased $29.2 million and 15.9%, respectively, for fiscal year 2017 as compared to fiscal year 2016, primarily due to the inclusion of results from the Intelisys acquisition. Excluding the impact of the gross profit from the Intelisys acquisition, adjusted gross profit dollars decreased $0.2 million from lower sales volumes. Adjusted gross profit margin, excluding Intelisys, increased to 13.8% for fiscal year 2017, primarily due to timing of vendor program recognition.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $25.1 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to the addition of expenses from our Intelisys acquisition and bad debt expense.

The increase in depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 of $2.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, is largely due to assets acquired through our Intelisys acquisition completed during the current year and additional depreciation on our ERP system.

We have elected to present changes in fair value of the contingent consideration owed to former shareholders of Network1 and Intelisys separately from other selling, general and administrative expenses. Final earnout payments were paid to the former shareholders of Imago in fiscal year 2017 and to CDC in fiscal year 2016. In the current year, we have recorded a $5.2 million loss, largely driven by recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and improved projections for Intelisys, partially offset by less-than-expected actual results for the current year and a reduction in projected results for Network1.

SG&A increased $29.1 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increased employee-related expenses from recent acquisitions and bad debt expense.

The increase of $2.0 million in depreciation expense for fiscal year 2016 is largely due to depreciation on our ERP system, which we first implemented in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Intangible amortization expense increased $3.2 million in fiscal year 2016 due to a full year of amortization on assets acquired through the Imago and Network1 acquisitions compared to the prior fiscal year 2015, in addition to a partial year of amortization expense for our KBZ business.

We have elected to present changes in fair value of the contingent consideration owed to former shareholders of CDC, Imago and Network1 separately from other selling, general and administrative expenses. The final payment to former shareholders of CDC was paid during fiscal year 2016. In the current year, we have recorded a $1.3 million loss, driven by recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and the achievement of better-than-expected actual results for Imago, partially offset by less-than-expected actual results for Network1.

Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security

For the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment, operating income decreased $2.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales remained fairly consistent year-to-year. The decrease in operating income is largely due to lower gross profit margins and increased employee-related costs, partially offset in improvements in bad debt expense recognized.

Worldwide Communications & Services

For the Worldwide Communications & Services segment, operating income decreased $5.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.4% from 3.9%. The decrease in operating income and margin is largely due to increased amortization expense on intangible assets acquired through our Intelisys acquisition, a higher loss for change in fair value of contingent consideration and higher bad debt expense.

Corporate

Corporate incurred $1.3 million and $0.9 million in acquisition costs for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security

For the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment, operating income increased $4.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year, while operating income as a percentage of sales remained fairly consistent from year-to-year. The increase in operating income is largely due to increased sales volume from KBZ, partially offset by increased employee related costs and bad debt expense. Operating income was also negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of our European and Brazilian operations.

Worldwide Communications & Services

For the Worldwide Communications & Services segment, operating income decreased $11.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.9% from 5.2%. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to decreased gross profit margin, coupled with increased employee related costs and bad debt expense. Operating income was also negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of our European and Brazilian operations.

Corporate

Corporate incurred $0.9 million and $3.3 million in acquisition costs for the year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Interest expense reflects interest incurred on borrowings, non-utilization fees from our revolving credit facility, and amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense increased in fiscal 2017 over 2016 principally from additional borrowings on our multi-currency revolving credit facility.

Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2017 was generated on interest-bearing customer receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, principally in Brazil. The increase in interest income is primarily due to approximately $1.4 million of interest accrued on a tax settlement in Brazil.

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro, the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar. While we utilize foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedge foreign currency exposure, our foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative transactions. We partially offset foreign currency exposure with the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against these exposures. The costs associated with foreign exchange forward contracts are included in the net foreign exchange loss.

Other income for the fiscal year ended 2017 increased $12.7 million primarily due to the recognition of a legal settlement in the US, net of attorney fees compared to the prior year.

The interest expense increased in fiscal 2016 over 2015, principally from additional borrowings on our multi-currency revolving credit facility.

Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2016 was generated on interest-bearing customer receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, principally in Brazil. The increase in interest income year-over-year is largely driven by a higher effective interest rate on higher deposit levels in our Brazilian entity.

We experienced foreign exchange losses as foreign currency exchange rates weakened against the U.S. dollar. Losses were partially offset by the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against currency exposures.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $32.2 million, $32.4 million, and $34.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 31.8%, 33.7%, and 34.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2017 as compared to fiscal year 2016 is primarily due to a favorable tax recovery recognized by the Brazilian Supreme Court during the quarter ending June 30, 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2016 as compared to fiscal year 2015 is primarily due to additional tax credits generated during 2016. We expect the fiscal year 2018 effective tax rate to range between 35% and 36%.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, return on invested capital ("ROIC") and "constant currency." Constant currency is a measure that excludes the translation exchange impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between reporting periods. We use non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that we report may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Net Sales in Constant Currency, Excluding Acquisitions
We make references to "constant currency," a non-GAAP performance measure that excludes the foreign exchange rate impact from fluctuations in the average foreign exchange rates between reporting periods. Constant currency is calculated by translating current period results from currencies other than the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars using the comparable average foreign exchange rates from the prior year period. We also exclude the impact of acquisitions prior to the first full year of operations from the acquisition date in order to show net sales results on an organic basis. This information is provided to analyze underlying trends without the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and the impact of acquisitions. Below we provide a non-GAAP reconciliation of net sales in constant currency, excluding acquisition (organic growth):

Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Pre-Tax Income, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS

To evaluate current period performance on a more consistent basis with prior periods, we disclose non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition costs, and other non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS are useful in assessing and understanding our operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods. Below we provide a non-GAAP reconciliation of operating income, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share adjusted for the costs and charges mentioned above:

Return on Invested Capital
Management uses ROIC as a performance measurement to assess efficiency at allocating capital under our control to generate returns. Management believes this metric balances our operating results with asset and liability management, is not impacted by capitalization decisions and correlates with shareholder value creation. In addition, it is easily computed, communicated and understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of our profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.
ROIC assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance during the year.
We calculate ROIC as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus change in fair value of contingent consideration and other non-GAAP adjustments ("adjusted EBITDA"), divided by invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. The following table summarizes annualized return on invested capital ratio for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements 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. On an ongoing basis management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory reserves to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market and vendor incentives. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 - Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Allowances for Trade and Notes Receivable
We maintain an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from customers’ failure to make payments on accounts receivable due to the Company. Management determines the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including: (1) historical experience, (2) aging of the accounts receivable and (3) specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of its customers. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate and reduce the ability of our customers to make payments on their accounts,we may be required to increase our allowance by recording additional bad debt expense. Likewise, should the financial condition of our customers improve and result in payments or settlements of previously reserved amounts, we may be required to record a reduction in bad debt expense to reverse the recorded allowance.
Inventory Reserves
Management determines the inventory reserves required to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market based principally on the effects of technological changes, quantities of goods and length of time on hand and other factors. An estimate is made of the market value, less cost to dispose, of products whose value is determined to be impaired. If these products are ultimately sold at less than estimated amounts, additional reserves may be required. The estimates used to calculate these reserves are applied consistently. The adjustments are recorded in the period in which the loss of utility of the inventory occurs, which establishes a new cost basis for the inventory. This new cost basis is maintained until such time that the reserved inventory is disposed of, returned to the vendor or sold. To the extent that specifically reserved inventory is sold, cost of goods sold is expensed for the new cost basis of the inventory sold.
Vendor Programs
We receive incentives from vendors related to volume rebates, cooperative advertising allowances and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors. Some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed between the Company and the vendor. Vendors generally require that we use their cooperative advertising allowances exclusively for advertising or other marketing programs. Incentives received from vendors for specifically identified incremental cooperative advertising programs are recorded as adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses. FASB's ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition, addresses accounting by a customer for certain consideration received from a vendor. This guidance requires that the portion of these vendor funds in excess of our costs be reflected as a reduction of inventory. Such funds are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products sold when the related inventory is sold.
We record unrestricted volume rebates received as a reduction of inventory and as a reduction of the cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Amounts received or receivables from vendors that are not yet earned are deferred in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Vendor receivables are generally collected through reductions to accounts payable authorized by the vendor. In addition,we may receive early payment discounts from certain vendors. We record early payment discounts received as a reduction of inventory and recognize the discount as a reduction of cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. ASC 605 requires management to make certain estimates of the amounts of vendor incentives that will be received. Actual recognition of the vendor consideration may vary from management estimates based on actual results.

Goodwill

We account for recorded goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Goodwill testing utilizes an impairment

analysis, whereby we compare the carrying value of each identified reporting unit to its fair value. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at a reporting unit level at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Our goodwill reporting units align directly with its operating segments, Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security and Worldwide Communications & Services. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows generated by each reporting unit. Considerable judgment is necessary in estimating future cash flows, discount rates and other factors affecting the estimated fair value of the reporting units, including the operating and macroeconomic factors. Historical financial information, internal plans and projections and industry information are used in making such estimates.

We adopted ASU 2017-04 during the current year, which simplifies testing goodwill for impairment. If fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the carrying value that exceeds the amount of the reporting units' fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Additionally, we would consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. We also assesses the recoverability of goodwill if facts and circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired. In our most recent annual test, we estimated the fair value of our reporting units primarily based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. We also utilized fair value estimates derived from the market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method to validate the results of the discounted cash flow method, which required it to make assumptions about the applicability of those multiples to its reporting units. The discounted cash flow method requires us to estimate future cash flows and discount those amounts to present value. The key assumptions utilized in determining fair value included:

Industry weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC"): We utilized a WACC relative to each reporting unit's respective geography and industry as the discount rate for estimated future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that would be expected by a market place participant in each respective geography.
Operating income: We utilized historical and expected revenue growth rates, gross margins and operating expense percentages, which varied based on the projections of each reporting unit being evaluated.
Cash flows from working capital changes: We utilized a projected cash flow impact pertaining to expected changes in working capital as each of our goodwill reporting units grow.
While we believe our assumptions are appropriate, they are subject to uncertainty and by nature include judgments and estimates regarding future events, including projected growth rates, margin percentages and operating efficiencies. Key assumptions used in determining fair value include projected growth and operating margin, working capital requirements and discount rates. During fiscal years 2017 and 2016, we completed our annual impairment test as of each April 30th and determined that a goodwill impairment charge was not necessary.
See Note 6 - Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our goodwill impairment testing and results.
Liability for Contingent Consideration
In addition to the initial cash consideration paid to former shareholders of Network1 and Intelisys, we are obligated to make additional earnout payments based on future results through a specified date based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s pro forma earnings as defined in the respective share purchase agreements. Future payments are to be paid in the functional currency of the acquired entity, which is the Brazilian real for Network1 and U.S. dollars for Intelisys. We paid the final earnout payment to the former shareholders of CDC during fiscal year 2016 and the final earnout payment to Imago during fiscal year 2017. Network1 has two remaining earnout payments to be paid in annual installments during fiscal years 2018 and 2019. Intelisys has four remaining earnout payments to be paid in annual installments during fiscal years 2018 through 2021. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, we determine the fair value of this liability for contingent consideration at each reporting date throughout the term of the earnout using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Each period, we will reflect the contingent consideration liability at fair value with changes recorded in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Consolidated Income Statement. Current and noncurrent portions of the liability are presented in the current portion of contingent consideration and long-term portion of contingent consideration line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future affect or change on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the company is a party, under which the company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued
See Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the discussion on recent accounting pronouncements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under the $400 million revolving credit facility. Our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors, cash on hand and revolving line of credit. In general, as our sales volumes increase, our net investment in working capital typically increases, which typically results in decreased cash flow from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volumes decrease, our net investment in working capital typically decreases, which typically results in increased cash flow from operating activities.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $56.1 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $61.4 million at June 30, 2016, and $121.6 million at June 30, 2015, of which $47.9 million, $52.7 million and $43.4 million was held outside of the United States as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amounts of $48.5 million, $78.3 million and $62.9 million are classified as accounts payable as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
We conduct business in many locations throughout the world where we generate and use cash. We provide for United States income taxes for the earnings of our Canadian subsidiary. Earnings from all other geographies will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. If these funds were needed in the operations of the United States, we would be required to record and pay significant income taxes upon repatriation of these funds. See Note 12 - Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Our net investment in working capital decreased $19.0 million to $624.7 million at June 30, 2017 from $643.8 million at June 30, 2016, principally from higher accounts payable and decreased inventory, partially offset by higher accounts receivable. Our net investment in working capital totaled $645.4 million at June 30, 2015, which represents a decrease of $1.6 million from June 30, 2016, principally from lower cash balances, partially offset by higher accounts receivable and reduced accounts payable. Our net investment in working capital is affected by several factors such as fluctuations in sales volume, net income, timing of collections from customers, increases and decreases to inventory levels, payments to vendors, as well as cash generated or used by other financing and investing activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $94.9 million for year ended June 30, 2017, compared to $52.2 million and $75.5 million for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Operating cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to net income, increases in non-cash adjustments and decreases in inventory levels, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable, excluding the impact of initial accounts balances assumed from Intelisys. Operating cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2016 is primarily attributable to net income, increases in accounts receivable and non-cash adjustments, partially offset by increases in accounts payable, excluding the impact of initial accounts balances assumed from the KBZ acquisition. Operating cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to net income and increases in accounts payable, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory.
The number of days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 61 at June 30, 2017, excluding Intelisys, compared to 57 at June 30, 2016 and 55 at June 30, 2015. Throughout the current fiscal year DSO ranged from 59 to 61. DSO increased over prior year due to an aging receivables portfolio, primarily in North America. Inventory turnover improved to 6.2 times during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year, compared to 5.6 and 5.9 times in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 and 2015, respectively. Throughout fiscal year 2017 inventory turnover ranged from 5.6 to 6.2 times.

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2017 was $96.2 million, compared to $73.6 million and $80.5 million for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Investing cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2017 is primarily driven by cash used to acquire Intelisys compared with cash used to acquire KBZ for the year ended June 30, 2016. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2015 represents cash used to acquire Imago and Network1, as well as capital expenditures for our Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system.

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2017 totaled to $3.5 million, compared to $36.3 million and $56.9 million for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash used in fiscal years 2017 and 2016 is primarily attributable to repurchases of common stock and contingent consideration payments, partially offset by borrowings on the revolving credit facility. Financing cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to repayments on borrowings of Network1 and Imago ScanSource, repurchases of common stock and a contingent consideration payment to the former shareholders of CDC.
In August 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a three-year $120 million share repurchase program. Through June 30, 2016, we completed the program, repurchasing 3.4 million shares totaling approximately $119.5 million. In August 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a new three year $120 million share repurchase program. During the year ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased 0.6 million shares totaling approximately $20.3 million.

We have a multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) that was scheduled to mature on November 6, 2018. On April 3, 2017, we amended this credit facility to extend its maturity to April 3, 2022. On August 8, 2017, we amended the Amended Credit Agreement again to increase the maximum amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility from $300 million to $400 million. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $200 million accordion feature that allows us to increase the availability to $600 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase.

At our option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon our ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities), measured as of the end of the most recent quarter, to adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the most recently completed four quarters (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.125% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.125% for alternate base rate loans. Additionally, we are assessed commitment fees ranging from 0.175% to 0.35%, depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic assets and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be either material or a subsidiary borrower as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of June 30, 2017. There was $91.9 million and $71.4 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2017 and 2016.

On a gross basis, we borrowed $1,813 million and repaid $1,793 million on the revolving credit facility in fiscal 2017. In fiscal 2016, we borrowed $1,377 million and repaid $1,305 million and in fiscal 2015, we borrowed $93.6 million and repaid $93.6 million. The average daily balance on the revolving credit facility was $126.5 million, $86.6 million and $1.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There were no letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2017 compared to €0.4 million and €0.0 million as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There was $208.1 million, $228.2 million and $300.0 million available for additional borrowings as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2017, we are obligated to pay certain earnout payments to the former shareholders of Network1 and Intelisys related to their acquisitions on January 13, 2015 and August 29, 2016, respectively. See Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a discussion on the liabilities recorded. The final earnout payment owed to the former shareholders of Imago was paid during the December quarter of the current year. Future earnout payments for Intelisys are expected to be funded by cash from operations and our existing revolving credit facility. Future earnout payments for Network1 are expected to be funded by existing cash balances in Brazil and cash from operations.
We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds under our credit agreements, will provide sufficient resources to meet our present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Amounts to be paid in future periods for real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses applicable to the properties pursuant to the respective operating leases have been excluded from the table above as the amounts payable in future periods are generally not specified in the lease agreements and are dependent upon amounts which are not known at this time. Such amounts were not material in the current fiscal year.

ITEM 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our principal exposure to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of our business is a result of our selective use of bank debt and transacting business in foreign currencies in connection with our foreign operations.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities, which include revolving credit facilities with a group of banks used to maintain liquidity and fund our business operations. The nature and amount of our debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on borrowings on our revolving credit facility and variable rate long-term debt would have resulted in approximately a $1.3 million and $0.9 million increase or decrease in pre-tax income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We evaluate our interest rate risk and may use interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations associated with our current and long-term debt. At June 30, 2017 and 2016 we had $97.3 million and $76.9 million, respectively, in variable rate long term debt and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In connection with the borrowings under the credit facility including potential future amendments or extensions of the facility, we entered into an interest rate swap maturing on April 3, 2022 with a notional amount of $50 million to receive interest at a floating rate LIBOR and pay interest at a fixed rate. Our use of derivative instruments have the potential to expose us to certain market risks including the possibility of (1) our hedging activities not being as effective as anticipated in reducing the volatility of our cash flows, (2) the counterparty not performing its obligations under the applicable hedging arrangement, (3) the hedging arrangement being imperfect or ineffective or (4) the terms of the swap or associated debt changing. We seek to lessen such risks by having established a policy to identify, control and manage market risks which may arise from changes in interest rates, as well as limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from our foreign operations in Canada, Latin America, Brazil and Europe. These risks include transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. In the normal course of the business, foreign exchange risk is managed by the use of currency options and forward contracts to hedge these exposures as well as balance sheet netting of exposures. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may cause our international results to fluctuate significantly when translated into U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates would have resulted in approximately a $1.9 million and $1.8 million increase or decrease in pre-tax income for fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These risks may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on our financial results in the future.

Our senior management has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to reduce foreign currency exposure. Our policy is to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We monitor our risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against our functional currencies and enter into foreign exchange derivative contracts to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. These positions are based upon balance sheet exposures and, in certain foreign currencies, our forecasted purchases and sales. We continually evaluate foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with our policy. Actual variances from these forecasted transactions can adversely impact foreign exchange results. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense (income).

We have elected not to designate our foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked-to-market with changes in their values recorded in the consolidated income statement each period. Our foreign currencies are primarily Brazilian reais, euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos, Chilean pesos and Peruvian nuevos soles. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of our currency forward contracts outstanding was a net payable of less than $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. We do not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

(a South Carolina corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2017, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. Our audit of, and opinion on, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not include the internal control over financial reporting of Intelisys, Inc. (Intelisys), a wholly-owned subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 2 percent and 1 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017. As indicated in Management’s Report, Intelisys was acquired during the year ended June 30, 2017. Management’s assertion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial reporting of Intelisys.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and our report dated August 29, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2017

Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

ScanSource, Inc. is a leading global provider of technology products and solutions. ScanSource, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Company") provide value-added solutions from technology vendors and sell to customers in specialty technology markets through its Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment and Worldwide Communications & Services segment. The Company's two operating segments are based on product, customer and service type.

The Company operates in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. The Company sells into the United States and Canada from a facility located in Mississippi; into Latin America principally from facilities located in Florida, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Chile; and into Europe from facilities located in Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Related Party Transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. There were no material related party transactions for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, contingent consideration and inventory reserves. Management bases its estimates on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, management believes that its estimates, including those for the above described items, are reasonable and that the actual results will not vary significantly from the estimated amounts.

The following significant accounting policies relate to the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements:

(a) Allowances for Trade and Notes Receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from customers’ failure to make payments on accounts receivable due to the Company.

Management determines the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including: (1) historical experience, (2) aging of the accounts receivable, (3) specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of its customers and (4) the current economic and country specific environment. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate and reduce the ability of the Company’s customers to make payments on their accounts, the Company may be required to increase its allowance by recording additional bad debt expense. Likewise, should the financial condition of the Company’s customers improve and result in payments or settlements of previously reserved amounts, the Company may be required to record a reduction in bad debt expense to reverse the recorded allowance.

(b) Inventory Reserves

Management determines the inventory reserves required to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market based principally on the effects of technological changes, quantities of goods and length of time on hand and other factors. An estimate is made of the market value, less cost to dispose, of products whose value is determined to be impaired. If these products are ultimately sold at less than estimated amounts, additional reserves may be required. The estimates used to calculate these reserves are applied consistently. The adjustments are recorded in the period in which the loss of utility of the inventory occurs, which establishes a new cost basis for the inventory. This new cost basis is maintained until such time that the reserved inventory is disposed of, returned to the vendor or sold. To the extent that specifically reserved inventory is sold, cost of goods sold is expensed for the new cost basis of the inventory sold.

(c) Purchase Price Allocations

For each acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price to assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill and intangibles in accordance with the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805. The Company recognizes assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair values. Management uses judgment to (1) identify the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, (2) estimate the fair value of these assets, (3) estimate the useful life of the assets and (4) assess the appropriate method for recognizing depreciation or amortization expense over the asset’s useful life.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains some zero-balance disbursement accounts at various financial institutions in which the Company does not maintain significant depository relationships. Due to the terms of the agreements governing these accounts, the Company does not have the right to offset most if not all outstanding checks written from these accounts against cash on hand and the respective institutions are not legally obligated to honor the checks until sufficient funds are transferred to fund the checks. As a result, checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amounts of $48.5 million and $78.3 million are classified as accounts payable as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions globally that are monitored regularly for credit quality and holds amounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") limits or other insured limits. Cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States totaled $47.9 million and $52.7 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company sells to a large base of customers throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. In certain cases, the Company will accept tangible assets as collateral to increase the trade credit of its customers. In addition, the Company carries credit insurance on certain subsections of the customer portfolio. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal years 2017, 2016 or 2015.

In the event that the Company does not collect payment on accounts receivable within the established trade terms for certain customers, the Company may establish arrangements for longer-term financing. The Company accounts for these arrangements by recording them at their historical cost less specific allowances at balance sheet dates. Interest income is recognized in the period earned and is recorded as interest income in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage certain exposures related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates in connection with borrowing activities. The Company records all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The Company’s foreign currency exposure results from purchasing and selling internationally in several foreign currencies and from intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. The Company's foreign currencies are denominated primarily in Brazilian reais, euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos, Chilean pesos and Peruvian nuevos sols.

The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments. The market risk related to the foreign exchange agreements is offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying items. These contracts are generally for a duration of 90 days or less. The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments. They are, therefore, marked-to-market with changes in their fair value recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement each period. Derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposure are accounted for on an accrual basis with gains or losses on these contracts recorded in income in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting entry for unsettled positions reflected in either other assets or other liabilities.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap and designated this instrument as a hedge of the cash flows on certain variable rate debt. To the extent the derivative instrument was effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument were not included in current earnings, but were reported as other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffective portion to be recorded as an adjustment to earnings for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Investments

The Company has investments that are held in a grantor trust formed by the Company related to the ScanSource, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan and Founder’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). The Company has classified these investments as trading securities, and they are recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses included in the accompanying Consolidated Income Statements. The Company’s obligations under this deferred compensation plan change in concert with the performance of the investments along with contributions to and withdrawals from the plan. The fair value of these investments and the corresponding deferred compensation obligation was $21.4 million and $17.9 million as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. These investments are classified as either prepaid expenses and current assets or other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets depending on the timing of planned disbursements. The deferred compensation obligation is classified either within accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities as well. The amounts of these investments classified as current assets with corresponding current liabilities were $2.7 million and $1.6 million at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories (consisting entirely of finished goods) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Vendor Programs

The Company receives incentives from vendors related to cooperative advertising allowances, volume rebates and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors. Some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed between the Company and the vendor. Vendors generally require that the Company use the vendors' cooperative advertising allowances for advertising or other marketing programs. Incentives received from vendors for specifically identified incremental cooperative advertising programs are recorded as adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses. ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition addresses accounting by a customer for certain consideration received from a vendor. This guidance requires that the portion of these vendor funds in excess of our costs be reflected as a reduction of inventory. Such funds are recognized as a reduction of the cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold.

The Company records unrestricted volume rebates received as a reduction of inventory and reduces the cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Amounts received or receivables from vendors that are not yet earned are deferred in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Vendor receivables are generally collected through reductions to accounts payable authorized by the vendor. In addition, the Company may receive early payment discounts from certain vendors. The Company records early payment discounts received as a reduction of inventory, thereby resulting in a reduction of cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. ASC 605 requires management to make certain estimates of the amounts of vendor incentives that will be received. Actual recognition of the vendor consideration may vary from management estimates.

Vendor Concentration

The Company sells products from many vendors, however, sales of products supplied by, in alphabetical order, Avaya, Cisco and Zebra each constituted more than 10% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Sales of products supplied by, in alphabetical order, Avaya and Zebra constituted more than 10% of the Company's net sales for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Product Warranty

The Company’s vendors generally provide a warranty on the products provided by the Company and allow the Company to return defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. In three of its product lines, the Company offers a self-branded warranty program, in which management has determined that the Company is the primary obligor. The Company purchases contracts from unrelated third parties, generally the original equipment manufacturers, to fulfill any obligation to service or replace defective product claimed on these warranty programs. As a result, the Company has not recorded a provision for estimated service warranty costs. To maintain customer relations, the Company facilitates returns of defective products from the Company's customers by accepting for exchange, with the Company's prior approval, most defective products within 30 days of invoicing.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years for furniture, equipment and computer software, 25 to 40 years for buildings and 15 years for building improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life. The Company's depreciation expense relates to selling, general and administrative costs, not the cost of selling goods. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized.

To the extent that the Company has longstanding, "in-process" projects that have not been implemented for their intended operational use, the Company capitalizes the portion of interest expense incurred during the asset's acquisition period that theoretically could have been avoided in accordance with ASC 835. The amount capitalized is determined by applying the appropriate capitalization rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the reporting period. The capitalization rate used is based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the reporting period. The Company has not recorded any capitalized interest for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Capitalized Software

The Company accounts for capitalized software in accordance with ASC 350-40, which provides guidance for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company is required to continually evaluate the stage of the implementation process to determine whether or not costs are expensed or capitalized. Costs incurred during the preliminary project phase or planning and research phase are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the development phase, such as material and direct services costs, compensation costs of employees associated with the development and interest cost, are capitalized as incurred. Costs incurred during the post-implementation or operation phase, such as training and maintenance costs, are expensed as incurred. In addition, costs incurred to modify existing software that result in additional functionality are capitalized as incurred.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for recorded goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Goodwill testing utilizes an impairment analysis, whereby the Company compares the carrying value of each identified reporting unit to its fair value. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at a reporting unit level at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company's goodwill reporting units align directly with its operating segments, Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Worldwide Security and Communications & Services. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows generated by each reporting unit. Considerable judgment is necessary in estimating future cash flows, discount rates and other factors affecting the estimated fair value of the reporting units, including the operating

50

June 30, 2017


and macroeconomic factors. Historical financial information, internal plans and projections and industry information are used in making such estimates.

The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 during the current year, which simplifies testing goodwill for impairment. If fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the carrying value that exceeds the amount of the reporting units' fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Additionally, the Company would consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Company also assesses the recoverability of goodwill if facts and circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired. In its most recent annual test, the Company estimated the fair value of its reporting units primarily based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. The Company also utilized fair value estimates derived from the market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method to validate the results of the discounted cash flow method, which required it to make assumptions about the applicability of those multiples to its reporting units. The discounted cash flow method required the Company to estimate future cash flows and discount those amounts to present value. The key assumptions utilized in determining fair value included:

Industry weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC"): The Company utilized a WACC relative to each reporting unit's respective geography and industry as the discount rate for estimated future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that would be expected by a market place participant in each respective geography.
Operating income: The Company utilized historical and expected revenue growth rates, gross margins and operating expense percentages, which varied based on the projections of each reporting unit being evaluated.
Cash flows from working capital changes: The Company utilized a projected cash flow impact pertaining to expected changes in working capital as each of its goodwill reporting units grow.

See Note 6 - Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets for more information regarding goodwill and the results of our testing.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names, distributor agreements, supplier partner programs and non-compete agreements. Customer relationships, distributor agreements and supplier partner programs are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 15 years. Trade names are amortized over a period ranging from 1 to 5 years. Non-compete agreements are amortized over their contract life. The Company's amortization expense relates to selling, general and administrative costs, not the cost of selling goods.

These assets are shown in detail in Note 6 - Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Tests for recoverability of a long-lived asset to be held and used are measured by comparing the carrying amount of the long-lived asset to the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. In estimating the future undiscounted cash flows the Company uses projections of cash flows directly associated with, and which are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use and eventual disposition of the assets. If it is determined that a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss would be calculated equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset over its fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying values of financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and subsidiary lines of credit approximate fair value based upon either short maturities or variable interest rates of these instruments. For additional information related to the fair value of derivatives, please see Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Liability for Contingent Consideration

51

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements
SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
June 30, 2017


In addition to the initial cash consideration paid to former shareholders of Network1 and Intelisys, the Company is obligated to make additional earnout payments based on future results through a specified date based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s pro forma earnings as defined in the respective purchase agreements. Future payments are to be paid in the functional currency of the acquired entity, which is the Brazilian real for Network1 and USD for Intelisys. The Company paid the final earnout payment to the former shareholders of CDC during fiscal year 2016 and the final earnout payment to Imago during fiscal year 2017. Network1 has two remaining earnout payments to be paid in annual installments during fiscal years 2018 and 2019. Intelisys has four remaining earnout payments to be paid in annual installments during fiscal years 2018 through 2021. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the Company determines the fair value of this liability for contingent consideration at each reporting date throughout the term of the earnout using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Each period the Company will reflect the contingent consideration liability at fair value with changes recorded in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Consolidated Income Statement. Current and noncurrent portions of the liability are presented in the current portion of contingent consideration and long-term portion of contingent consideration line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contingencies

The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when it is probable that a liability is incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, management reassesses its position and makes appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include tax, legal and other regulatory matters, which are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) the Company must have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery must occur (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain); (3) the price must be fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability must be reasonably assured. The Company allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.

The Company provides third-party service contracts, typically for product maintenance and support. These service contracts are sold separately from the products, and the Company often serves as the agent for the contract on behalf of the original equipment manufacturer. Since the Company acts as an agent on behalf of most of these service contracts sold, revenue is recognized net of cost at the time of sale. However, the Company provides some self-branded warranty programs and engages a third party (generally the original equipment manufacturer) to cover the fulfillment of any obligations arising from these contracts. These revenues and associated third-party costs are amortized over the life of the contract and presented in net sales and cost of goods sold, respectively.

Service revenue associated with third-party service contracts and warranty programs, as mentioned above, along with configuration and marketing services is recognized when the work is complete, and the four criteria discussed above have been met. Service revenue associated with service contracts, warranty programs, configuration, marketing and other services approximates 3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Through the Intelisys acquisition, the Company has a recurring revenue model in which the Company acts as a master agent partnering vendors with sales agents to provide telecommunications services to end users. As the Company acts as an agent on behalf of the vendors' services, commission revenue received from the vendor is recognized net of cost associated with the commissions the Company pays to sales agents, at the time of sale. Revenue associated with the recurring revenue model approximates 1.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal year 2017.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not engage in sales transactions involving multiple element arrangements.

Shipping Revenue and Costs

Shipping revenue is included in net sales, and related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Shipping revenue was $12.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2017, $13.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 and $12.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Advertising Costs

The Company defers advertising-related costs until the advertising is first run in trade or other publications, or in the case of brochures, until the brochures are printed and available for distribution. Advertising costs, included in marketing costs, after vendor reimbursement, were not significant in any of the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. Deferred advertising costs for any of these three fiscal years were also not significant.

Foreign Currency

The currency effects of translating the financial statements of the Company’s foreign entities that operate in their local currency are included in the cumulative currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The Company's functional currencies include U.S. dollars, Brazilian reais, euros, British pounds, Colombian pesos and Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities of these foreign entities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the end of the respective period. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at average exchange rates effective during the respective period. Foreign currency transactional and re-measurement gains and losses are included in other expense (income) in the Consolidated Income Statements. Such amounts are not significant to any of the periods presented.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that an asset will not be realized in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. In 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes and reclassified all current deferred taxes and the related valuation allowances to noncurrent positions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has provided for United States income taxes for the current earnings of its Canadian subsidiary. Earnings from all other geographies are considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. See Note 12 - Income Taxes for further discussion.

Additionally, the Company maintains reserves for uncertain tax provisions in accordance with ASC 740. See Note 12 - Income Taxes for more information.

Share-Based Payments

The Company accounts for share-based compensation using the provisions of ASC 718, Accounting for Stock Compensation, which requires the recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation. Share-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. Since this compensation cost is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has elected to expense grants of awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

Common stock repurchases

Repurchases of common stock are accounted for at cost, which includes brokerage fees, and are included as a component of shareholder's equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In August 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a three-year $120 million share repurchase program. Through June 30, 2016, the Company completed the program, repurchasing 3.4 million shares totaling approximately $119.5 million. In August 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a new three-year $120 million share repurchase program. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company repurchased 0.6 million shares totaling approximately $20.3 million.

Comprehensive Income

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, defines comprehensive income as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The components of comprehensive

53

income for the Company include net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on hedged transactions, net of tax arising from the consolidation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for recognizing the total consideration transferred to and the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquired target in a business combination. ASC 805 also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring goodwill acquired in a business combination and requires the acquirer to disclose information that users may need to evaluate and understand the financial impact of the business combination. See Note 5 - Acquisitions for further discussion. 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in Note 14 - Segment Information, to conform with current period presentation. Depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense have been presented as individual lines on the Consolidated Income Statement in the current year and prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on consolidated financial results.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is prohibited. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial results to determine the appropriate transition method for the Company. The Company has engaged a third-party consultant to assist with developing a multi-phase plan to assess the impact of adoption. The Company has also begun its initial review and analysis of business processes and current material contracts.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) requiring lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheets and recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current guidance. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee's initial direct costs. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, as long as the lease does not include options to purchase the underlying assets, lessees can elect not to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged, and the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions is simplified. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) simplifying several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. This change eliminates the current practice of recognizing excess tax benefits in additional paid-in-capital ("APIC") and tax deficiencies in APIC to the extent

54

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements
SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
June 30, 2017


that there is a sufficient APIC pool related to previously recognized excess tax benefits. In addition, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are considered discrete items in the reporting period they occur and are not included in the estimate of an entity’s annual effective tax rate. As for classification on the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will no longer represent a financing activity since they are recognized in the income statement and will appropriately be classified as an operating activity. The ASU allows an entity to elect as an accounting policy either to continue to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered (as currently required) or to account for forfeitures when they occur. In regards to statutory withholding requirements, the new guidance stipulates that the net settlement of an award would not result, by itself, in liability classification of the award provided that the amount withheld for taxes does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate in the employees’ relevant tax jurisdictions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. If early adoption is elected, all amendments in the ASU that apply must be adopted in the same period. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) intended to reduce diversity in practice of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues, with the treatment of contingent consideration payments made after a business combination being the most directly applicable to the Company. The update requires that cash payments made approximately three months or less after an acquisition's consummation date should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities. Payment made thereafter up to the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from financing activities. Payments made in excess of the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from operating activities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, provided all eight amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires adoption using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business within ASC Topic 850 Business Combinations. The new standard narrows the definition of a business and therefore affects whether an acquisition represents the purchase of a business or an asset. The standard provides for an initial assessment to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, qualifying as an asset, not a business. If the definition of the acquisition is not clear after the initial assessment, the guidance provides framework to determine if the asset(s) acquired include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output, which constitutes a business. The distinction between a business and an asset is important because asset acquisitions do not result in goodwill, do not require the expensing of transaction costs and do not record contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date, as well as other accounting concepts. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as long as the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted the new standard in connection with an asset acquisition completed during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (See Note 6-Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets).

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. It removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be calculated as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not exceeding the carrying amount of goodwill. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill shall also be considered in measuring goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be adopted prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed with a measurement date after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance prospectively as of April 30, 2017, our fiscal year 2017 impairment testing date. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to its business or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

Intelisys

On August 29, 2016, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Intelisys, a technology services company with voice, data, cable, wireless and cloud services. Intelisys is part of the Company's Worldwide Communications and Services operating segment. With this acquisition, the Company broadens its capabilities in the telecom and cloud services market and generates the opportunity for high-growth recurring revenue.

Under the asset purchase agreement, the Company made an initial cash payment of approximately $84.6 million, which consisted of an initial purchase price of $83.6 million and $1.0 million for additional net assets acquired at closing, and agreed to make four additional annual cash installments based on a form of adjusted EBITDA for the periods ending June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2020. The Company acquired $0.8 million of cash as part of the acquisition, resulting in $83.8 million net cash paid for Intelisys initially. A portion of the purchase price was placed into escrow to indemnify the Company for certain pre-acquisition damages. As of June 30, 2017, the balance available in escrow was $8.5 million. During fiscal years 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.3 million in acquisition-related cost, respectively, included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Income Statements.

The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to entering the recurring revenue telecom and cloud services market and expanded market opportunities to grow recurring revenue streams. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever indicators of impairment are present. The reporting units utilized for goodwill impairment tests align directly with our operating segments, Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security and Worldwide Communications & Services.The testing includes the determination of each reporting unit's fair value using a discounted cash flows model compared to each reporting unit's carrying value. Key assumptions used in determining fair value include projected growth and operating margin, working capital requirements and discount rates. During fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, no impairment charges related to goodwill were recorded.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, by reportable segment, are as follows:

During fiscal year 2017, the Company acquired end user contracts with Intelisys suppliers (classified as customer relationships above), trade names and non-compete agreements related to the acquisition of Intelisys. The Company also completed an asset acquisition through its subsidiary, Intelisys, of supplier partner program assets to enhance its high-growth recurring revenue model. The acquired assets have been recorded as intangible assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets with a ten-year amortization period. The Company wrote-off fully amortized customer relationships for our Brazilian entity, CDC, during fiscal year 2017.

The weighted-average amortization period for all intangible assets was approximately 10 years for years ended June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $15.5 million, $9.8 million and $6.6 million, respectively, all of which relates to selling, general and administrative costs, not the cost of selling goods, and has been presented as such in the accompanying Consolidated Income Statements.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) that was scheduled to mature on November 6, 2018. On April 3, 2017, the Company amended this credit facility to extended its maturity to April 3, 2022. On August 8, 2017, the Company amended this credit facility again to increase the amount from $300 million to $400 million. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $200 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $600 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.9 million in connection with the April 3, 2017 amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which were capitalized to other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and added to the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit facility.

At the Company's option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities), measured as of the end of the most recent quarter, to adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the most recently completed four quarters (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.125% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.125% for alternate base rate loans. The spread in effect as of June 30, 2017 was 1.375% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.375% for alternate base rate loans. Additionally, the Company is assessed commitment fees ranging from 0.175% to 0.35%, depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. The commitment fee rate in effect as of June 30, 2017 was 0.20%. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be either material or a subsidiary borrower as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of June 30, 2017.
 
The average daily balance on the revolving credit facility during fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $126.5 million and $86.6 million, respectively. There was $208.1 million and $228.2 million available for additional borrowings as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were no letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2017 and €0.4 million as of June 30, 2016.

Long-Term Debt

On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi in order to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi facility, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032 and accrues interest at a rate equal to 30-day LIBOR plus a spread of 0.85%. The terms of the bond allow for payment of interest only for the first 10 years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemption of the bond. The agreement also provides the bondholder with a put option, exercisable only within 180 days of each 5th anniversary of the agreement, requiring the Company to pay back the bonds at 100% of the principal amount outstanding. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this bond. The interest rate at June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 1.926% and 1.32%, respectively.

Scheduled maturities of the Company’s revolving credit facility and long-term debt at June 30, 2017 are as follows:

(8)    Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These risks and the management of these risks are discussed in greater detail below. In an effort to manage the exposure to these risks, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.

Foreign Currency Derivatives – The Company conducts a portion of its business internationally in a variety of foreign currencies. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and transactions arising from non-functional currency financing or trading activities. The Company’s objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through currency options and forward contracts or other hedging instruments with third parties. These contracts will periodically hedge the exchange of various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Brazilian real, euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Colombian peso, Chilean peso and Peruvian nuevo sol. While the Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure, the Company's foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The Company had contracts outstanding with notional amounts of $67.1 million and $46.2 million for the exchange of foreign currencies as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. To date, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments, and accordingly, these instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense. Summarized financial information related to these derivative contracts and changes in the underlying value of the foreign currency exposures are as follows:

$

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses and are included in other income and expense. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, British pound versus the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rates – The Company’s earnings are also affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from floating rate debt instruments. To manage the exposure to interest rates, on June 23, 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $50 million scheduled to mature on April 23, 2022. This swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge to hedge the variable rate interest payments on the revolving credit facility. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreement are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. To the extent the swap is effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the swap are not included in current earnings but are reported as other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffective portion to be recorded as an adjustment to earnings for fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

(9)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy, which groups fair value-measured assets and liabilities based upon the following levels of inputs:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

The assets and liabilities maintained by the Company that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis include deferred compensation plan investments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements and contingent consideration owed to the previous owners of Imago, Network1 and Intelisys. The carrying value of debt listed in Note 7 - Short-Term Borrowings and Long Term Debt is considered to approximate fair value, as the Company's debt instruments are indexed to a variable rate using the market approach (Level 2 criteria).

The investments in the deferred compensation plan are held in a "rabbi trust" and include mutual funds and cash equivalents for payment of non-qualified benefits for certain retired, terminated or active employees. These investments are recorded to prepaid and other current assets or other non-current assets depending on their corresponding, anticipated distributions to recipients, which are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term non-current liabilities, respectively.

Derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, are measured using the market approach on a recurring basis considering foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers and interest rates quoted by banks (Level 2). See Note 8 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities. Foreign currency contracts are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued expenses and other current liabilities, depending on the respective instruments' favorable or unfavorable positions. Fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using standard valuation models with inputs that can be derived from observable market transactions, including LIBOR spot and forward rates (Level 2). The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of the derivative instruments was not material as of June 30, 2017.
  
The Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the acquisition date of CDC, Imago, Network1 and Intelisys representing the amounts payable to former shareholders, as outlined under the terms of the applicable purchase agreements, based upon the achievement of a projected earnings measure, net of specific pro forma adjustments. The final payment to CDC was paid during fiscal year 2016 and the final payment to Imago was paid during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The current and non-current portions of these obligations are reported separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the contingent considerations (Level 3) are determined using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are recorded to the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item in the Consolidated Income Statements. Fluctuations due to foreign currency translation are captured in other comprehensive income through the changes in foreign currency translation adjustments line item as seen in Note 15 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

CDC is part of the Company's Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security Segment, and Imago, Network1 and Intelisys are part of the Company's Worldwide Communications & Services segment.

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the Company’s contingent considerations for the Imago, Network1 and Intelisys earnouts, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017:

The fair values of amounts owed are recorded in the current portion of contingent consideration and the long-term portion of contingent consideration in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The U.S. dollar amounts of actual disbursements made in conjunction with future earnout payments are subject to change as the liability is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and subject to foreign exchange fluctuation risk. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company will revalue the contingent consideration liability at each reporting date through the last payment, with changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Company's Consolidated Income Statement that is included in the calculation of operating income. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future earnout payments is based on several factors, including:

estimated future results, net of pro forma adjustments set forth in the purchase agreements;
the probability of achieving these results; and
a discount rate reflective of the Company's creditworthiness and market risk premium associated with the United States, Brazilian and European markets.

A change in any of these unobservable inputs can significantly change the fair value of the contingent consideration. Valuation techniques and significant observable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements for our contingent consideration liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows.

CDC

The final payment of the contingent consideration related to CDC was paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements was a loss of $0.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The loss was due to the recurring amortization of unrecognized fair value discount.

The final payment of the contingent consideration related to Imago was paid during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements contributed a gain of $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, which was largely driven by actual results that were less-than-expected, including special adjustments as determined by the stock purchase agreement and recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar drove changes in the translation of this British pound-denominated liability.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $2.9 million, all of which was classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements was a loss of $0.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, which was largely driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and achievement of better-than-expected actual results.

Network1

The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Network1 recognized at June 30, 2017 was $6.9 million of which $5.4 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements contributed a gain of $5.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, which was largely driven by a reduction in projected results and current year less-than-expected actual results, partially offset by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange rate between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar drove significant changes in the translation of this Brazilian real-denominated liability. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $7.5 million, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of adjusted earnings.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $21.8 million, of which $8.7 million was classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements was a loss of $0.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, which was largely driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount, partially offset by a reduction in future projected results.

Intelisys

The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Intelisys recognized at June 30, 2017 was $107.1 million of which $25.3 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $12.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, which was largely driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and improvements in projected results. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $136.1 million, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of adjusted earnings.

(10)    Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Company has awards outstanding from two share-based compensation plans (the 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan). Awards are currently only being granted under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2017, there were 2,071,216 shares available for future grant under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. All of the Company’s share-based compensation plans are shareholder approved, and it is the Company’s belief that such awards better align the interests of its employees and directors with those of its shareholders. Under the plans, the Company is authorized to award officers, employees, consultants and non-employee members of the Board of Directors various share-based payment awards, including options to purchase common stock and restricted stock. Restricted stock can be in the form of a restricted stock award ("RSA"), restricted stock unit ("RSU") or a performance unit ("PU"). An RSA is common stock that is subject to risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that lapse upon satisfaction of specified conditions. An RSU represents the right to receive shares of common stock in the future with the right to future delivery of the shares subject to risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that lapse upon satisfaction of specified conditions.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based compensation to be recognized in the income statement based on fair value and applies to all awards granted, modified, canceled, or repurchased after the effective date. Total share-based compensation included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements was as follows:

Stock Options

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the Company granted stock options for 77,339 shares to one employee. These options vest annually over 3 years and have a 10-year contractual life. These options were granted with an exercise price that is no less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant.

The fair value of each option (for purposes of calculation of share-based compensation) was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula that uses assumptions determined at the date of grant. Use of this option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them ("expected term"), the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term ("expected volatility") and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements ("forfeitures"). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the fair value of share-based compensation and, consequently, the related amount recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements.

The weighted-average expected term of the options represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding based on historical trends and behaviors of certain groups and individuals receiving these awards. The expected volatility is predominantly based on the historical volatility of our common stock for a period approximating the expected term. The risk-free interest rate reflects the interest rate at grant date on zero-coupon United States governmental bonds that have a remaining life similar to the expected option term. The dividend yield assumption was based on the Company's dividend payment history and management's expectations of future dividend payments.

The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated using the market price of the Company's stock on June 30, 2017 and the exercise price for only those options that have an exercise price that is less than the market price of our stock. This amount will change as the market price per share changes. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $1.6 million, $1.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

(1) Under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, non-employee directors receive annual awards of restricted stock, as opposed to stock options. The number of shares of restricted stock to be granted is established from time to time by the Board of Directors. Currently, the number of shares of restricted stock awarded annually to each non-employee director generally is determined by dividing $100,000 by the equity award value of the common stock on the date of grant, as defined in the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The equity award value means the value per share based on a 45-day averaging of the fair market value of the common stock over a specified period of time, or the fair market value of the common stock on a specified date. These awards will generally vest in full on the day that is six months after the date of grant or upon the earlier occurrence of (i) the director’s termination of service as a director by reason of death, disability or retirement, or (ii) a change in control by the Company. The compensation expense associated with these awards will be recognized on a pro-rata basis over this period.

(1) These target shares granted as RSUs during fiscal year 2015 have service based and performance based vesting conditions. The actual number of shares granted for each of the three tranches, for the period June 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, is determined after the date of the Company's financial statements. Therefore, the adjustment recognized during fiscal year 2017 represents the variance between the shares assumed to be granted versus at June 30, 2016 the actual shares granted for the second tranche.

As of June 30, 2017, there was approximately $7.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.13 years. The Company withheld 43,669 shares for income taxes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

(11)    Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended that covers all employees located in the United States meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company provided a matching contribution equal to one-half of each participant’s contribution, up to a maximum matching contribution per participant of $800. The Company determines its matching contributions annually and can make discretionary contributions in addition to matching contributions. Employer contributions are vested based upon tenure over a five-year period.

Internationally, the Company contributes to either plans required by local governments or to various employee annuity plans. Additionally, the Company maintains a non-qualified, unfunded, deferred compensation plan that allows eligible executives to defer a portion of their compensation in addition to receiving discretionary matching contributions from the Company. Employer contributions are vested over a five-year period.

As of June 30, 2017, there were (i) gross net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.4 million for state income tax purposes; (ii) foreign gross net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9.3 million; (iii) state income tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.4 million that will began to expire in 2019; and (iv) withholding tax credits of approximately $2.9 million; and (v) foreign tax credits of less than $0.3 million. The Company maintains a valuation allowance of $0.4 million for foreign net operating losses, a less than $0.1 million valuation allowance for state net operating losses, a $2.9 million valuation allowance for withholding tax credits and a $0.1 million valuation allowance for the notional interest deduction, where it was determined that, in accordance with ASC 740, it is more likely than not that they cannot be utilized.

The Company has provided for United States income taxes for the current earnings of its Canadian subsidiary. Earnings from all other geographies will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. The Company has not provided U.S. income taxes for undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are considered to be retained indefinitely for reinvestment. The distribution of these earnings would result in additional foreign withholding taxes and additional U.S. federal income taxes to the extent they are not offset by foreign tax credits. It has been the practice of the Company to reinvest those earnings in the business outside the United States. These undistributed earnings amounted to approximately $118.1 million at June 30, 2017. If these earnings were remitted to the United States, they would be subject to income tax. The tax, after foreign tax credits, is estimated to be approximately $20.6 million.

Financial results in Belgium for the year ended June 30, 2017 produced pre-tax loss of approximately $4.7 million. To the extent the Belgium business does not return to profitability as expected, this could affect the valuation of certain deferred tax assets. However, the Belgium business reported taxable income in the two prior years of the three prior years. In the judgment of management, the conditions that gave rise to the fiscal 2017 and 2016 losses are temporary and that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.

During quarter ended June 30, 2017, a lawsuit filed by Scansource Brazil with the Brazilian Supreme Court in 2014 regarding the tax treatment of certain Brazilian state-provided tax benefits was settled in Scansource Brazil’s favor.  As a result, Scansource Brazil was awarded and will recover a tax settlement. The Company has recorded, discrete to the quarter, the income tax benefit associated with that recovery equal to approximately $4.5 million.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2 million, $1.3 million of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. This reflects an increase of $0.1 million on a net basis over the prior fiscal year. The Company does not expect that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the accompanying Consolidated Income Statement. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued, but excluded from the table below were $1.1 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 and $1.2 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into an amended agreement to continue to lease approximately 741,000 square feet for distribution, warehousing and storage purposes in a building located in Southaven, Mississippi. The term of the lease is 135 months with 2 consecutive 5-year extension options.

The Company's existing capital lease expired in June 2017. On February 14, 2017, the Company modified an equipment lease transaction for certain information technology infrastructure located in the Greenville, South Carolina facility. The Company determined this lease qualifies as a capital lease and accordingly, has recorded a capital lease obligation equal to the present value
of the minimum lease payments of $1.7 million scheduled to begin on July 1, 2017. The lease term is 42 months with an expiration date during 2020.

Commitments and Contingencies

A majority of the Company’s net revenues in fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 were received from the sale of products purchased from the Company’s ten largest vendors. The Company has entered into written agreements with substantially all of its major vendors. While the Company’s agreements with most of its vendors contain standard provisions for periodic renewals, these agreements generally permit termination by either party without cause upon 30 to 120 days' notice.

The Company or its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. During the current year, the Company recognized $12.8 million in proceeds from a legal settlement, net of attorney fees, included in other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Income Statements.

Capital Projects

The Company expects total capital expenditures to range from $8.0 million to $11.0 million during fiscal year 2018 primarily for IT investments.

Pre-Acquisition Contingencies

During the Company's due diligence for the CDC acquisition, several pre-acquisition contingencies were identified regarding various Brazilian federal and state tax exposures. In connection with these contingencies, the Company recorded indemnification receivables that are reported gross of the pre-acquisition contingency liabilities as the funds were escrowed as part of the acquisition. During fiscal year 2016, the Company released $4.1 million from the escrow account to the sellers after the final earnout payment was made. The amount available after the impact of foreign currency translation, as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 for future pre-acquisition contingency settlements or to be released to the sellers, was $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

The table below summarizes the balances and line item presentation of CDC's pre-acquisition contingencies and corresponding indemnification receivables in the Company's consolidated balance sheet:

The change in classification and amounts of the pre-acquisition contingencies is primarily due to foreign currency translation on a weaker Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar and the expiration of the statute of limitations for identified pre-acquisition contingencies. The amount of reasonably possible undiscounted pre-acquisition contingencies as of June 30, 2017 is estimated to range as high as $3.3 million at this time, of which all exposures are indemnifiable under the share purchase and sale agreement.

During the Company's due diligence for the Network1 acquisition, several pre-acquisition contingencies were identified regarding various Brazilian federal and state tax exposures. The Company recorded indemnification receivables that are reported gross of the pre-acquisition contingency liabilities as the funds were escrowed as part of the acquisition. The sellers deposited $8.7 million and $1.3 million into the escrow account for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The amount available after the impact of foreign currency translation, as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 for future pre-acquisition contingency settlements or to be released to the sellers, was $13.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

The table below summarizes the balances and line item presentation of Network1's pre-acquisition contingencies and corresponding indemnification receivables in the Company's consolidated balance sheet:

Subsequent Events

On July 31, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of POS Portal, Inc. ("POS Portal") a leading provider of payment devices and services primarily to the SMB market segment. Under the purchase agreement, the all-cash transaction includes an initial purchase price of approximately $144.9 million paid in cash at closing ($13.5 million of which is being held in escrow to cover indemnity claims), subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. The purchase agreement includes a cash earnout payment up to $13.2 million to be made on November 30, 2017 based on POS Portal's earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the trailing twelve months ending September 30, 2017. POS Portal joined the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment. Due to the timing of the acquisition relative to the annual filing, the Company is not able to present initial accounting estimates for the business combination, including purchase price allocation, valuation of tangible and intangible assets (including goodwill) and valuation of the contingent consideration.

On August 8, 2017 the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended Credit Facility to increase committed borrowing capacity to $400 million by obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the accordion feature. As the Company maintained the $200 million accordion feature, the total availability was increased to $600 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase.

ITEM 9.
Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
Not applicable. 

ITEM 9A.
Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of those disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2017, were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017. However, the Intelisys business acquired during the current fiscal year has been excluded from management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2017.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting which is included with the Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
