Gross margin and Gross profit

Overall Gross Margin % varies with changing revenue mix.

  • Infrastructure Solutions benefiting from strong growth in networking and storage, and easing supply chain constraints

  • Strong growth in software licensing and multi-cloud revenues

  • Services growth has boosted total Gross Profit $

Total Gross Profit up 14.9% to $250.7M with Gross Margin % down slightly from 10.0% to 9.8%:

  • Services Gross Profit up 24.8% to $124.7M with Gross Margin % increasing from 31.4% to 36.4%

  • Product Gross Profit up 6.5% to $125.9M with Gross Margin % decreasing from 6.3% to 5.7% due to relative mix of higher volume, lower margin products and gradual shift in vendor rebates to services

Objective continues to be to deliver steady, sustained growth in total Gross Profit $

  • Internal Cost Ratio (Internal expenses / Gross profit) has improved from 88.0% in FY16 to 80.3% in FY23

Statement of profit or loss

==> picture [412 x 428] intentionally omitted <==

  • Revenue increased by 16.9%

  • Interest income $3.5M vs $273K predominately due to higher interest rates earned on deposits
