Operator

Instructions] question [Operator Raymond Adam from Please Our coming Tindle ahead. go James. is first of

Adam Tindle

I just Ken ask wanted bit to revenue little trends. start organic on a to

still I trends, look basis. lighter I the year-over-year, can a correct think there? of down might if quarter if wrong were - It at you think second revenue now quarter little organic an to me bit the I'm you and on be

what understand be from just is something a competitor. integration easier it's weakness I we're that. different You little than There your from in stemming bit driving was PCM largest and seeing QX that had year-over-year may QX, with trying to comparisons where some so given

follow-up? I've be it first a the So will question got

Kenneth Lamneck

the Yes PCM-related of view at it you didn’t do in clients thanks, of say certainly year. for the would the it’s And from pleased with pretty repeat. in and quarter. there. which question. Adam for mentioned, year large gross the business that again the prior do to not we that, the benefited certainly we all. with I had business that that you as lot to point netting with of course, we’re margin Yes where did some revenue at suggested, we flat Again, improvement came A primarily saw as overall were hardware And with has a for for with the PCM

don't we As enterprise clients it these repeat every volumes, year. know - and depends that you're large as cycle drive other upon they where substantial for of sort positioned each

of an really from pleased very we it solely do came would I PCM we're say to where for with that. in with point integration are So with has view. pleased where quarter, the Again,

As I December. operation into mentioned, we in Canadian systems ERP completed multiple our

the stage. our in January, we converted integration way for this where operation few ago, that on weeks U.K. as at well and a U.S. well We we're started the

together. So, how pleased that with is coming

Adam Tindle

and your wanted some organic think ask on to suggests growth point, that and a improvement confidence in what about follow-up. bounce-back, that I revenue touch and as underlies Yes, just to the Maybe trends. XXXX guidance and I

the think that ending I PCs? on we on difficult is and we're comparisons the that get pushback XXXX that is cycle going to might investors have concerned PC in from some

sounds pretty like it opportunities. in cross-selling you're But confident

drive some some So in just buckets touch on of the the maybe of XXXX? that bounce-back

Kenneth Lamneck

I correct. yes Yes, you're certainly, think

channel of a that clients. still we’re approaching time, as from refresh we’ve more cycle. certainly has double-digit for runway it’s Win PC some in largest quite still sort see XX But watching seen it’s three about the our been certainly cycle categories. - last and there. the consistent those cycle the of years, we the growth You've some said, certainly end There’s the Certainly really left refresh

from large those with enterprise refresh positioned you’re where upon our depends clients business all perspective. it a So in

it’s we’ve away. like year cycle gas the think there going this to be that double-digit some device I I don’t certainly experienced left in but refresh. So, the it’s think we years, don’t in last three going still think is

clouds, talk of The to course still keep all the in private as and well. cloud, data center a we about three we know the, we're other part world, alive the there’s in mind which

very a the doesn't get ultimately we're lot largest course public intelligent one conversant cloud The be play on, all is edge. that the the cloud. will of That of yet

early the we're that say more hardware move our and haven't there, a technologies drive that second will more significant of remain amount inning will innings. still alive well. and in that We're we AI to like the and things we IoT, the but bullish in very past. hardware I'd seen As with probably be in edge

what forward going by edge see in starting there just intelligent to some we're interesting of in starting primarily those driven And for again that will successes which, occur solution areas our to for type engagement. the - formulate, is and

sort would that growth certainly there's of that certainly be the you in We're see believe why as cross-sell So we the opportunities. mentioned, business. reasons

obtained taking engage. few the team center from also PCM primarily We're datacenter years drive cloud deep have and Insight the acquisition and our to bringing they in area ago help we down expertise into this the the where Datalink really resources and really are traditional and data a clients clients

So, continuing some nice we've half seen that's growth towards XXXX and tail of XXXX. into the

Adam Tindle

services. just on one And last maybe one

You for full how in mentioned XXXX. the year mixes up

margin nicely on year-over-year. was services wanted you year-over-year maybe to revenue the dynamics Just pretty that? clarify down driving QX, just the Could sizably on grew touch gross but

think of year-over-year what you been normalized think company there’s waiting about this gross dilutive services a gross margin? and that's services that’s about as kind total in PCM there services If temporary Is the to margin revenue coming XXXX? we on

Glynis Bryan

on Microsoft. warranty about gross million We PCM - to services we is think a of of fee-based related and going have business, have services margin that business to that They the be percent. impact lot is $XXX of appreciable the don’t

driving don't our effect total going of because of services smaller an think will down impact I our have a their as revenue So, in to appreciable gross total, margin of and it services percent it's overall gross a it's profit. terms percentage

I driving on impact an think particular. it don’t an margin have impact in have won't will down it gross services But

Adam Tindle

reason temporary think I about Is QX? year-over-year. gross basis the drive down QX so in XXX there And that was a is that something or would there services margin points

Glynis Bryan

cloud particular business It’s in really in mix that around of and ultimately the QX. the of segment

Adam Tindle

And Okay. does that…

Glynis Bryan

nothing anything say But I wouldn’t to - related PCM.

Adam Tindle
