SEC filingRevenue grew 1% to $2.1B, gross margin expanded 240 bps to 21.7%, and EPS surged over 100% YoY.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Insight Enterprises reported consolidated net sales of $2.1 billion, a 1% increase year-over-year. The growth was primarily driven by increases in services and hardware net sales, partially offset by a 28% decline in software net sales in North America due to shifts from principal to agent roles and migration to cloud solutions. Gross profit rose 14% to $462.2 million, with gross margin expanding 240 basis points to 21.7%, reflecting higher-margin services (cloud and Insight Core Services) and improved product margins. Earnings from operations increased 19% to $71.7 million, driven by gross profit growth despite higher selling and administrative expenses. Net earnings surged to $30.0 million ($0.97 diluted EPS) from $7.5 million ($0.22) in Q1 2025, aided by the absence of prior-year warrant settlement losses and lower non-operating expenses.
Management expects capital expenditures of $20M-$30M for full-year 2026. The company plans to use excess cash for debt paydown and share repurchases. Supply chain remains impacted by global memory chip shortages and potential tariff effects, while interest rates are expected to remain elevated. No formal revenue or EPS guidance was provided.
The balance sheet remains solid with cash and cash equivalents of $440.6 million at March 31, 2026, up from $358.0 million at year-end 2025. Total debt increased to $1.469 billion (from $1.361 billion), driven by net borrowings under the ABL revolving facility. The ABL facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion, of which $975.7 million was outstanding, leaving ample liquidity. Shareholders' equity decreased slightly to $1.603 billion due to share repurchases and foreign currency translation losses.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has a minimum purchase commitment of $51.2 million under a cloud services agreement that runs through September 2028. A separate software-as-a-service commitment of $40.0 million has been fully satisfied. Additionally, a contingent liability of $27.8 million is recorded for obligations to resell cloud services. Performance bonds outstanding total $38.4 million, though no liability is accrued.
During the quarter, Insight repurchased 899,561 shares for $75.0 million at an average price of $83.37 per share. The remaining authorization under the $299 million program (announced December 19, 2025) is $224 million. No dividends were paid. Capital expenditures were $6.0 million (0.3% of sales), primarily for property and equipment. The net increase in debt of $107.7 million was used to fund the buyback and working capital needs.
Segment data (Note 9) shows North America remains the largest segment with $1.683 billion in sales, down 1% YoY, and an adjusted segment margin of 7.3%. EMEA posted $372.9 million in sales (+8.8%) with a 4.0% margin. APAC grew 20.4% to $72.3 million but its margin fell to 5.5% from 7.9%, partly due to recent acquisitions and investments. The geographic mix shifted slightly toward EMEA and APAC, which together contributed 20.9% of total sales (versus 19.2% a year ago).
