SCANSOURCE REPORTS RECORD RESULTS

*Sales increase 10% to $408.5 million

GREENVILLE, SC—January 26, 2006—ScanSource, Inc. (Nasdaq:SCSC), a leading international distributor of AIDC (automatic identification and data capture), point of sale, communications and electronic security products for the reseller market, today announced financial results for its quarter ended December 31, 2005.

QE 12/31/05 capsule:

Net sales	$	408.5 million
Net income	$	9.3 million
Non-GAAP net income	$	10.1 million
Diluted EPS	$	0.71 per share
Non-GAAP diluted EPS	$	0.77 per share

For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, net sales increased 10% to a record $408.5 million compared to $370.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

“We had excellent year over year growth in our communications business units and in our bar code business.

Net income, based upon Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), increased 2% to $9.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 versus $9.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Diluted earnings per share increased 3% to $0.71 per share compared to $0.69 in the prior year quarter.

Beginning the September 2005 quarter, the Company was required to adopt FASB Statement 123(R),Share-Based Payments, which mandates expensing share-based compensation cost. If the Company had not adopted Statement 123(R) for the December 31, 2005 quarter, net income would have been $808,000 higher or $10.1 million compared to $9.1 million for the December 2004 quarter, an increase of 11%. Diluted earnings per share would have been $0.77 compared to $0.69 for the December 2004 quarter, an increase of 12%. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net income would have been $1.5 million higher or $20.1 million compared to $18.0 million for the six months ended December 2004, an increase of 12%. Diluted earnings per share would have been $1.54 compared to $1.37 for the six months ended December 2004. Comparable results herein for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004 do not reflect the effects of adopting Statement 123(R), which was not yet in effect. Please refer to the Company’s statements regarding non-GAAP financial information and the related reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results located in this release and also located in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.scansource.com.
