CEO Mike Baur acknowledged that while some technology categories grew in North America, certain legacy areas remained in decline, tempering overall top-line momentum. Baur highlighted ongoing gross profit margin improvements and growth in recurring revenue, stating, “Each of our segments achieved year-over-year gross profit growth and higher EBITDA margins.”
