The all-cash transaction included an initial purchase price of approximately $83.6 million, plus earn-out payments based on EBITDA over four years with an estimated range of $100 million to $150 million.[5] The acquisition marked ScanSource's entry into the technology services distribution market and the agent channel, significantly expanding its business beyond hardware distribution.[6]

Operations

ScanSource operates two primary business segments: Specialty Technology Solutions, which covers hardware including barcode, point-of-sale, payments, networking, and security products; and Intelisys & Advisory, which covers technology services distribution including connectivity, cloud, and managed services.[1]

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the company reported net sales of $3.04 billion and approximately 2,100 employees.[1]

Recognition

ScanSource has appeared on the Fortune World's Most Admired Companies list for ten consecutive years as of 2026, ranking fourth in the Wholesalers: Electronics and Office Equipment category.[3] The company also ranks on the Fortune 1000 list of the largest U.S. companies by revenue.[1]
