Quarterly Results

Net sales totaled $636.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, down 22% year-over-year, or down 19% for organic growth. The reduction in net sales is primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in lower demand from customers. For the Intelisys master agency business, net sales increased 15% year-over-year for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, operating income decreased to $(113.4) million, and non-GAAP operating income decreased to $8.2 million. As of the annual goodwill impairment test date of April 30th, the Company’s revenue projections were lowered, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company recognized pre-tax, non-cash goodwill and asset impairment charges of $120.5 million. This accounting adjustment does not involve any cash outflow.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 totaled $(108.9) million, or $(4.29) per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income totaled $4.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $19.3 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter.

At June 30, 2020, ScanSource had cash and cash equivalents of $29.5 million and total debt of $218.7 million for continuing operations. Borrowings for discontinued operations totaled $28.2 million.

Full Year Results

For fiscal year 2020, net sales decreased 6% to $3.0 billion, or a 5% year-over-year decrease on an organic basis. Fiscal year 2020 GAAP operating income decreased to $(65.0) million, largely from the non-cash goodwill and asset impairment charges, and non-GAAP operating income decreased to $78.9 million.

On a GAAP basis, net income for fiscal year 2020 totaled $(79.2) million, or $(3.12) per diluted share, compared to net income of $64.9 million, or $2.52 per diluted share for the prior year. Non-GAAP net income totaled $52.0 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, compared to $87.7 million, or $3.41 per diluted share for the prior year.

Discontinued Operations

On August 20, 2019, ScanSource announced plans to divest its products distribution businesses outside of the United States, Canada and Brazil. ScanSource continues to operate in its digital distribution business in these geographies. These plans are part of a strategic portfolio repositioning to align investments with higher-growth, higher-margin businesses. On July 23, 2020, ScanSource signed an agreement to sell its products distribution business located in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru and its Miami-based export operations to Intcomex. The Company is actively working on sales opportunities for its divestitures in Europe and the UK.

At June 30, 2020, the Divestitures were classified as assets held for sale and recorded as discontinued operations. Net loss from discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 includes a $88.9 million non-cash loss on held for sale classification to establish a valuation allowance and $13.7 million for non-cash impairment charges.

COVID-19 Update

Our top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic is protecting the health and safety of our employees. We implemented travel restrictions and transitioned our employees, where possible, to a remote working environment. Nearly all office-based employees around the world are working remotely. We have taken a number of measures to ensure our teams have the flexibility and resources they need to stay safe and healthy. We are experiencing higher costs from these safety measures to protect our employees. We are continuing to provide the high level of customer service our partners expect from us.
