IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ingram Micro Holding Corporation (NYSE: INGM) (“Ingram Micro” or the “Company”) today reported 2026 fiscal first quarter results for the period ended March 28, 2026. The Company reported net sales of $14.0 billion, up 13.7% year-over-year, and net income on a GAAP basis of $98.9 million, or $0.42 per share, up 42.9% and 44.8% year-over-year, respectively. Non-GAAP net income of $175.5 million, or $0.75 per share,⁽¹⁾ was up 21.7% and 23.0% versus the same period last year, respectively.

“Our first quarter was yet another strong performance with top line growth of 13.7%, on top of double-digit growth the prior year, and earnings per share at the high end of our guidance range. All four of our regions demonstrated top line growth, three of which were double digits. This was led once again by Asia Pacific reflecting our extensive global reach,” said Paul Bay, Ingram Micro’s Chief Executive Officer. “We have moved from adoption to performance on our Xvantage^TM platform, with AI-led net sales up more than sixty percent year-over-year in our largest countries. As we continue with our platform deployment and build on our growing portfolio of patents, we remain confident in our ability to further differentiate ourselves as a technology company and further improve our financial model to create long-term value for customers, vendors, and stockholders.”

“We delivered a strong start to fiscal 2026, with double-digit growth in key profitability metrics, driven by disciplined execution, coupled with continued optimization and rigorous expense management,” said Mike Zilis, Ingram Micro’s Chief Financial Officer. “Going forward, we are managing for operating leverage, profitability and return on investment while continuing to invest in our Xvantage^TM platform and other strategic growth initiatives. We also remain committed to returning capital to stockholders through our increased quarterly dividend and our authorized share repurchase program. In the first quarter, we successfully completed a secondary offering of our stock, which included repurchasing $75 million of stock directly from our majority owner. Today we announced we are expanding the repurchase program to maximize flexibility to further repurchase stock in the future.”

Consolidated Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

• Net sales totaled $14.0 billion, compared to $12.3 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter, representing an increase of 13.7%. The growth was driven by year-over-year increases in net sales across each of our geographic segments. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar had a 4% positive impact on the year-over-year net sales comparison.
• Gross profit grew to $926.0 million, from $828.8 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.
• Gross margin was 6.63%, compared to 6.75% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year gross margin trend was driven by a mix shift towards lower-margin AI-infrastructure products, which resulted in an approximate 35 basis point decrease in margins versus the prior year quarter.
• Income from operations was $222.9 million, compared to $200.9 million in the prior fiscal first quarter. Adjusted income from operations was $262.3 million, compared to $229.3 million in the prior fiscal first quarter. The increase in income from operations was driven by the increase in our net sales noted above. Income from operations in the first quarter of 2026 included $9.5 million, or 7 basis points of net sales, of restructuring costs versus $1.9 million, or 2 basis points of net sales, in the prior year quarter.
• Income from operations margin was 1.60%, compared to 1.64% in the prior fiscal first quarter. Adjusted income from operations margin was 1.88% compared to 1.87% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year comparisons are reflective of lower gross margin from sales mix factors and higher restructuring costs, both largely offset by improved operating expense leverage as selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs as a percentage of net sales improved by 12 basis points compared to the prior year quarter.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $331.2 million, compared to $290.8 million in the prior fiscal first quarter, representing a 13.9% year-over-year increase.
• Diluted EPS was $0.42, compared to $0.29 in the prior fiscal first quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.75, compared to $0.61 in the prior fiscal first quarter.
• Cash used in operations was $977.9 million, compared to $200.4 million used in the prior fiscal first quarter, and adjusted free cash flow was $(962.3) million, compared to $(159.1) million in the prior fiscal first quarter. This was driven by strategic investment in working capital to support the growth of the business, but also coming off of the relatively low level of net working capital to close fiscal 2025.

Regional Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

North America

Net sales were $5.0 billion, compared to $4.4 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter. The 12.7% year-over-year increase in North American net sales was primarily driven by an increase in net sales of Advanced Solutions offerings, reflecting growth in networking and server net sales in the United States, which includes strong growth in lower margin, lower cost-to-serve AI-infrastructure product sets. Cloud-based Solutions net sales also grew in the region by 30%, despite a 15% headwind from the third quarter 2025 divestiture of our CloudBlue business. These factors were partially offset by slight declines in net sales of Client and Endpoint Solutions and Other Services.

Income from operations was $82.5 million, compared to $84.4 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.65%, compared to 1.90% in the prior fiscal first quarter. These results for the region were also reflective of lower gross margins due to a mix shift in our Advanced Solutions offerings category towards lower-margin AI-infrastructure products, which contributed a 87 basis point negative impact on the region’s gross margin, but is also low cost-to-serve and working capital efficient. Partially offsetting this was a decline in SG&A expenses, including compensation and headcount expenses, resulting from restructuring initiatives taken in the prior year and continued efficiencies from our Xvantage^TM platform.

EMEA

Net sales were $3.9 billion, an increase of 14.1% compared to the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year increase in EMEA net sales was primarily a result of growth in Client and Endpoint Solutions, led by strength in notebooks, in addition to growth in Advanced Solutions and Cloud-based Solutions. These factors were partially offset by a decline in Other Services. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar had a positive impact of 10% on the year-over-year net sales comparison.

Income from operations was $62.3 million, compared to $57.3 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.59%, compared to 1.67% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year decrease in income from operations margin was primarily driven by the impact of lower gross margins on larger deals in our Advanced Solutions offerings.

Asia-Pacific

Net sales were $4.1 billion, compared to $3.6 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter. The 13.5% increase in Asia-Pacific net sales was driven by growth in Client and Endpoint Solutions, led by components, notebooks and desktops, as well as growth in Cloud-based Solutions and Other Services. These factors were partially offset by a decline in Advanced Solutions offerings. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar had a positive impact of 1% on the year-over-year net sales comparison.

Income from operations was $65.3 million, compared to $46.3 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.59%, compared to 1.28% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily a result of an increase in gross margin due to higher margins on Client and Endpoint Solutions and Cloud-based Solutions net sales, as well as the favorable impact of a decline in inventory write-offs. The region also benefited from lower compensation and headcount expenses.

Latin America

Net sales were $1.0 billion, compared to $0.8 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter. The 18.6% increase in Latin American net sales was primarily driven by growth in Client and Endpoint Solutions, led by notebooks and desktops, along with growth in net sales of Advanced Solutions and Cloud-based Solutions. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar had a positive impact of 8% on the year-over-year net sales comparison.

Income from operations was $34.0 million, compared to $23.0 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

Income from operations margin was 3.57%, compared to 2.86% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily a result of an increase in gross margin due to higher margins on net sales of Client and Endpoint Solutions and Cloud-based Solutions, as well as the favorable impact of a decline in inventory write-offs. The region also benefited from improved leverage on operating expenses.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Outlook

The following outlook is forward-looking, based on the Company’s current expectations for the fiscal second quarter 2026, and actual results may differ materially from what is indicated. We provide EPS guidance on a non-GAAP basis because certain information necessary to reconcile such guidance to GAAP is difficult to estimate and dependent on future events outside of our control. See “Use of Non-GAAP Metrics,” below.

Our fiscal second quarter 2026 guidance assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 27% on a non-GAAP basis and 232.7 million diluted shares outstanding.

Dividend Increase and Payment

On April 30, 2026 the Company’s board of directors declared a second quarter cash dividend of $0.084 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing a 2.4% increase from the quarterly dividend of $0.082 per share paid in the first quarter of 2026.

⁽¹⁾ Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting financial results that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have included in this release some or all of the following non-GAAP financial measures—adjusted income from operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, return on invested capital (“ROIC”), adjusted ROIC, non-GAAP net income, adjusted free cash flow, and non-GAAP EPS—which are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business and the underlying trends that are affecting our performance. These non-GAAP measures are primary indicators that our management uses internally to conduct and measure its business and evaluate the performance of its consolidated operations, ongoing results, and trends. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and an alternate view of the impact of acquired businesses. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. A material limitation associated with these non-GAAP measures as compared to the GAAP measures is that they may not be comparable to other companies with similarly titled items that present related measures differently. The non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. See “Schedule A: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the “Supplemental Information” section further below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.
