Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PC Connection, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or the Company, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regarding interim financial reporting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Such principles were applied on a basis consistent with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods reported and of the Company’s financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of these financial statements. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 may not be indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or the entire year ending December 31, 2025.

Certain amounts in the prior period’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts and disclosures of revenue and expenses during the period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on the information available at the time and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of the Company’s cash equivalents approximates fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

At the time of purchase, the Company determines the appropriate classification of investments based upon its intent with regard to such investments. All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale. The Company classifies investments as short-term when their remaining contractual maturities are one year or less from the balance sheet date, and as long-term when the investment has a remaining contractual maturity of more than one year from the balance sheet date. The Company records investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Included in interest income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income is interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments of $3,217 and $7,018 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $4,655 and $9,220 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Treasury Stock, at Cost

Treasury Stock, at Cost

The total repurchases for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were recorded as treasury stock of $60,863 and $3,788, respectively.

The majority of these costs are expected to be paid within a year of the applicable termination. Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 was $1,394 related to unpaid severance expenses.
