Impact of COVID-19 on our Business Environment
The spread of COVID-19 since December 2019 has resulted in the implementation of numerous measures to contain the virus worldwide, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, business shutdowns, and limitations of in-person gatherings. The pandemic and these containment measures have had a substantial impact on businesses around the world and on global, regional and national economies. We cannot predict the continued impact of the pandemic, including the impact of the proposed U.S. vaccine mandate, and the degree to which our business and results of operations may be affected.
Our top priority is protecting the health and safety of our employees. We have teams monitoring the evolving situation and recommending risk mitigation actions. All of our distribution facilities have remained open and operational throughout the pandemic. Our employees are committed to providing the high level of customer service our partners have grown to expect from us in order to achieve positive results.
In July 2020, we announced actions to address the business impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for our next phase of growth. These actions included a $30 million annualized expense reduction plan. These actions were designed to better align the cost structure for our wholesale distribution business with lower sales volumes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the plan, we have continued to invest in our higher growth agency business, Intelisys. Strong growth for the Intelisys business has continued, even with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our Strategy
We rely on a channel sales model using a hybrid distribution strategy to offer hardware, software, connectivity and cloud from leading technology suppliers to sales partners that solve end customers' challenges. Through our digital tools and platforms, we offer customers SaaS and subscription services from leading technology suppliers. While we do not manufacture products, we provide technology solutions and services from leading technology suppliers. Our solutions may include a combination of

offerings from multiple suppliers or give our sales partners access to additional services, such as custom configuration, key injection, integration support, custom development and other services. We also offer the flexibility of on-premise, cloud and hybrid solutions.
As a trusted adviser to our sales partners, we provide more complete solutions through a better understanding of end-customer needs. We drive growth through enhancing our sales partners' capabilities to provide hardware, software, connectivity and cloud solutions. Our teams deliver value-added support programs and services, including education and training, network assessments, implementation, custom development and marketing to help our sales partners extend their capabilities, develop new technology practices or reach new end customers.
Our objective is to grow profitable sales in the technologies we offer and expand in higher margin and adjacent markets to help our sales partners offer more products and services and increase recurring revenue opportunities. As part of our strategic plan, we consider strategic acquisitions and alliances to enhance our technology offerings and service capabilities.

Specialty Technology Solutions
For the Specialty Technology Solutions segment, operating income increased $12.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior-year quarter. Operating margin increased to 2.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to 0.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in operating income and margin for the quarter is primarily due to higher gross profits.
Modern Communications & Cloud
For the Modern Communications & Cloud segment, operating income increased $7.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior-year quarter. Operating margin increased to 4.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to 2.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in operating income and operating margin for the quarter is primarily due to higher gross profits.
Corporate
Corporate incurred less than $0.1 million in divestiture expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $8.8 million in restructuring and divestiture expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Total Other (Income) Expense
The following tables summarize our total other (income) expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Total other expense, net $ 897 $ 1,796 $ (899) (50.1) % 0.1 % 0.2 %
Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred on borrowings, non-utilization fees charged on the revolving credit facility and amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior-year quarter principally from reduced borrowings on our multi-currency revolving credit facility.
Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was generated on interest-bearing customer receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior-year principally from higher interest earned on cash and cash equivalents in Brazil.
Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. We

partially offset foreign currency exposure with the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against these exposures. The costs associated with foreign exchange forward contracts are included in the net foreign exchange losses.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, income tax expense was $7.4 million reflecting an effective tax rate of 25.0%. In comparison, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, income tax expense totaled less than $0.1 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 29.0%. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter is primarily due to an increase in forecasted tax exempt income. We expect the effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, for fiscal year 2022 to be approximately 24.5% to 25.5%. See Note 14 - Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance
In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP" or "GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP pre-tax income; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP EPS; adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"); return on invested capital ("ROIC"); and "constant currency." Constant currency is a measure that excludes the translation exchange impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between reporting periods. We use non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that we report may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
Return on Invested Capital
ROIC assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance during the year.
Adjusted EBITDA starts with net income and adds back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent considerations, and other non-GAAP adjustments. Effective with the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, non-cash share-based compensation expense is also added back in calculating adjusted EBITDA. Since adjusted EBITDA excludes some non-cash costs of investing in our business and people, we believe that adjusted EBITDA shows the profitability from our business operations more clearly.
We calculate ROIC as adjusted EBITDA, divided by invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. The following table summarizes annualized ROIC for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively:
Quarter ended September 30,
2021 2020
Return on invested capital ratio, annualized (a)
17.5 % 8.9 %
(a) The annualized EBITDA amount is divided by days in the quarter times 365 days per year, or 366 days for leap year. There were 92 days in the current and prior-year quarter.
The components of this calculation and reconciliation to our financial statements are shown on the following schedule:

Net Sales in Constant Currency, Excluding Acquisitions and Divestitures
We make references to "constant currency," a non-GAAP performance measure that excludes the foreign exchange rate impact from fluctuations in the average foreign exchange rates between reporting periods. Constant currency is calculated by translating current period results from currencies other than the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars using the comparable average foreign exchange rates from the prior year period. If applicable, we also exclude the impact of acquisitions prior to the first full year of operations from the acquisition date and the impact of Divestitures in order to show net sales results on an organic basis. This information is provided to analyze underlying trends without the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and, the impact of Divestitures and acquisitions, if applicable. Below we show organic growth by providing a non-GAAP reconciliation of net sales in constant currency, excluding Divestitures:

Income Statement Non-GAAP Metrics
To evaluate current period performance on a more consistent basis with prior periods, we disclose non-GAAP net sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net other expense, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and divestiture costs, restructuring costs, impact of Divestitures and other non-GAAP adjustments. These year-over-year metrics include the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These metrics are useful in assessing and understanding our operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods. Below we provide a non-GAAP reconciliation of the aforementioned metrics adjusted for the costs and charges mentioned above:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our $350 million revolving credit facility. Our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors, cash generated from operations and revolving lines of credit. In general, as our sales volumes increase, our net investment in working capital increases, which typically results in decreased cash flow from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volumes decrease, our net investment in working capital typically decreases, which typically results in increased cash flow from operating activities.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $55.5 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $62.7 million at June 30, 2021, including $48.4 million and $52.1 million held outside of the United States at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Checks released but not yet cleared in the amounts of $19.9 million and $14.3 million are included in accounts payable at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
We conduct business in many locations throughout the world where we generate and use cash. We provide for United States income taxes from the earnings of our Canadian and Brazilian subsidiaries. See Note 14 - Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Our net investment in working capital increased $77.3 million to $564.0 million at September 30, 2021 from $486.7 million at June 30, 2021, primarily from increases in accounts receivable and inventory and decreases in accounts payable. Our net investment in working capital is affected by several factors such as fluctuations in sales volume, net income, timing of collections from customers, increases and decreases to inventory levels and payments to vendors.

Credit Facility
We have a multi-currency senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks. On April 30, 2019, we amended this credit facility to expand the borrowing capacity and extend its maturity to April 30, 2024. The Amended Credit Agreement established (i) a five-year $350 million multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility and (ii) a five-year $150 million senior secured term loan facility. Pursuant to an “accordion feature,” we may increase borrowings up to an additional $250 million. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase.
At our option, loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the our net leverage ratio, calculated as total debt less up to $15 million of unrestricted domestic cash to trailing four-quarter adjusted EBITDA.
This spread ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.75% for alternate base rate loans. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for the substitution of a new interest rate benchmark upon the transition from LIBOR, subject to agreement between the Company and the administrative agent. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary yield protection provisions. Additionally, we are assessed commitment fees ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%, depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. The secured term loan facility will amortize based on the percentage of original principal amount with 2.5% in Year 1, 5.0% in Year 2, 5.0% in Year 3, 7.5% in Year 4 and 10.0% in Year 5. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic assets and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be either material or a subsidiary borrower as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. Specifically, our Leverage Ratio must be less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 at all times. In addition, our Interest Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) must be at least 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter. In the event of a default, customary remedies are available to the lenders, including acceleration and increased interest rates. We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility at September 30, 2021. There was $56.4 million in outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2021. There was no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2021.
The average daily balance for the revolving credit facility, excluding the term loan facility, was $54.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2021. Including borrowings for both continuing and discontinued operations, the average daily balance for the revolving credit facility, excluding the term loan facility, was $91.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2020. There were no letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. There was $293.6 million and $350.0 million available for additional borrowings at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Availability to use this borrowing capacity depends upon, among other things, the levels of our Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio, which, in turn, will depend upon (1) our Credit Facility Net Debt relative to our Credit Facility EBITDA and (2) Credit Facility EBITDA relative to total interest expense, respectively. As a result, our availability will increase if EBITDA increases (subject to the limit of the facility) and decrease if EBITDA decreases. At September 30, 2021, based upon the calculation of our Credit Facility Net Debt relative to our Credit Facility EBITDA, there was $293.6 million available for borrowing. While we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2021, and currently expect to continue to maintain such compliance, should we encounter difficulties, our historical relationship with our Credit Facility lending group has been strong and we anticipate their continued support of our long-term business.
