HERNDON, Va., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ePlus inc. (NASDAQ: PLUS), a leading provider of technology solutions, today announced financial results for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2026, or the second quarter of its 2027 fiscal year.

Management Comment

“We delivered robust top line growth, improved profitability, and experienced growth against key metrics in the second quarter.  Record gross billings surpassed the prior year’s record showing strong momentum reflecting our customer-first approach as we provide the products and services our clients require, particularly for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity,” commented Mark Marron, President and CEO.  “Overall, our solid performance in the second quarter and year to date reflect consistent execution and the strength and breadth of our diversified business model.

“Our strong balance sheet represents a competitive advantage, with our cash position at $381 million at quarter end.  During the second quarter we advanced our acquisition strategy with the purchase of certain assets and liabilities of Daymark Solutions, a provider of critical IT solutions and professional services focused on implementing and supporting complex hybrid cloud, cybersecurity, compliance, and data centers.  We remain disciplined in our approach to capital allocation, balancing acquisitions with other growth investments and returning capital to shareholders via share repurchases and dividend payments.”

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2027 Results

For the second quarter ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the second quarter ended September 30, 2025:

Net sales increased 9.7% to $667.9 million, from $608.8 million due to higher product sales, partially offset by lower service revenue. Gross billings increased 4.3% to $1,066.8 million from $1,022.7 million.   

Product segment sales increased 12.8% to $547.1 million from $485.0 million due to increases in revenue from cloud, security, collaboration and other products, partially offset by a decrease in networking products. Product segment gross margin was 25.8%, up from 24.5% last year due to a shift in product mix, and an increase in sales of third-party maintenance, subscriptions and services that are recognized on a net basis.

Professional services segment revenues decreased 11.3% year over year to $67.8 million from $76.3 million, and gross margin declined to 35.4% from 38.2% during the same period last year due to decreases in revenue and gross profit from project-related services due to delays from retail customers.

Managed services segment revenue increased 11.9% to $53.1 million primarily due to additional revenue from cloud managed services. Gross profit from managed services increased 9.4% year over year due to the increase in revenue, offset by a decrease in gross margin to 28.8% from 29.4% in the prior year quarter.

Gross profit increased 11.2% to $180.3 million, from $162.1 million, due to an increase in gross profit from the product segment and managed services segment, offset by a decrease in the professional services segment. Gross margin was 27.0%, compared with 26.6% in the prior year quarter, due to higher gross margin in the product segment, offset by lower gross margin in the managed services segment and professional services segment.

Operating expenses were $123.8 million, up 9.2% from $113.3 million last year, primarily due to increases in variable compensation commensurate with the increase in gross profit, as well as additional salaries and benefits, general and administrative costs, and expenses related to the acquisition of assets of Daymark Solutions, Inc.(“Daymark”).

Operating income increased 15.8% to $56.5 million. Other income (expense), net was $(0.5) million compared to $5.2 million in the prior year due to a reduction of $3.5 million in the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable recorded as a result of the sale of our domestic financing business, lower interest income and foreign currency transaction losses being recognized in the current year quarter compared to foreign exchange gains in the prior year quarter. Earnings from continuing operations before taxes increased 3.7% to $56.0 million.

The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 27.9%, which was lower than the prior year quarter of 29.3% primarily due to lower state and local income taxes and lower non-deductible expenses.

Net earnings from continuing operations increased 5.8% to $40.4 million from $38.2 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.3% to $67.1 million from $58.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Last year, earnings from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was a loss of $3.3 million and net (loss) from discontinued operations per common share diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $(0.13).

Professional services segment revenues decreased 8.3% year over year to $135.8 million from $148.1 million, and gross margin declined to 36.2% from 38.7% during the same period last year, both primarily due to decreases in revenue from project services, and staff augmentation.

Fiscal Year Guidance

ePlus is increasing its fiscal year 2027 guidance of year over year growth to the upper single digits for net sales and gross profit, and the low double digits for adjusted EBITDA.

This guidance does not factor in recessionary conditions, or other unexpected developments.  ePlus cannot predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, the ultimate outcome of unusual gains and losses, the occurrence of matters creating GAAP tax impacts, fluctuations in interest expense or interest income and share-based compensation, and acquisition- or disposition-related expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to ePlus’ results computed in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, ePlus is unable to provide a reconciliation of GAAP net earnings from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year 2027 forecast.

ePlus Announces Quarterly Dividend

ePlus announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per common share which will be paid on December 16, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 24, 2026. 

Summary and Outlook

“The accelerating adoption of AI, increasing demand for advanced data center infrastructure and growing emphasis on cybersecurity and digital transformation continue to reshape the technology landscape, creating significant opportunities for long-term growth for ePlus.  As organizations accelerate investments in modernizing their IT networks and strengthening cybersecurity, our deep customer relationships and broad portfolio of products and services position us well to meet demand and support our customers’ growth.  These factors, combined with our strong performance year to date, support our confidence in the sustainability of our business trends and our increased full year fiscal 2027 guidance,” concluded Mr. Marron.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION

We included reconciliations below for the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and (iii) Non-GAAP Net earnings from continuing operations per common share diluted.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings from continuing operations calculated in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted for the following: depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, acquisition related expenses, provision for income taxes, and other (income) expense, net.  

Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP Net earnings from continuing operations per common share diluted are based on net earnings from continuing operations calculated in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted to exclude other (income) expense, net, share-based compensation, acquisition related expense, acquisition related amortization expense, and the related tax effects.

We use the above non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our performance to gain insight into our operating performance and performance trends. We believe that these financial measures provide management and investors with a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business and operating results by excluding items that management believes are not reflective of our underlying operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.

Our use of non-GAAP information as analytical tools has limitations, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under US GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations and Non-GAAP: Net earnings from continuing operations per common share-diluted, or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

The amounts in the tables below are results from our continuing operations (in thousands):

RADCOM Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results

Published

on

By

Increased revenue 19.4% sequentially, returned to quarterly non-GAAP operating income, and maintained positive cash flow

TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RADCOM Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDCM) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Third-quarter revenues were $14.0 million, up 19.4% sequentially and down 23.6% year over year. Although RADCOM recorded a GAAP operating loss, it returned to non-GAAP operating profitability. RADCOM also generated $1.7 million in positive cash flow and ended the quarter with $111.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits and no debt, up from $109.7 million as of June 30, 2026.

“We returned to non-GAAP operating profitability this quarter and added two new customers, VNPT and CETIN Networks, each replacing the incumbent vendor through a competitive process,” said Benny Eppstein, RADCOM’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our solutions remain integral to how customers manage their networks and end-user service quality, and our customer relationships remain strong. Operators continue to invest in their networks, and we are working closely with them on their deployment plans. Based on those discussions, we see positive signs that some deployments delayed in 2026 will begin to move forward in early 2027.”

“We are reaffirming our revised full-year outlook,” Eppstein continued. “With $111.4 million in cash and no debt, we are investing in RADCOM ACE and our agentic AI roadmap to drive growth. We expect to begin repurchasing shares after the current earnings-related blackout period ends, at management’s discretion. Looking ahead, we remain open to partnerships and targeted acquisitions that expand our solution portfolio, enhance customer value, and deliver greater returns to stakeholders. Together, these steps reflect our confidence in the business and our commitment to building long-term value for our shareholders.”

IBM Quantum Nighthawk Demonstrates New Levels of Speed and Quality, with Plans to Scale Beyond 1,000 Qubits in 2027

Published

on

By

New Nighthawk r3 processor will be built to execute 10,000 quantum operations, enabling larger and more complex computations as IBM advances its roadmap toward fault tolerance

Clients and partners including E.ON, Algorithmiq, and Q-CTRL have run more than 34 billion circuits on Nighthawk r2, reporting speedups of up to 19x beyond previous IBM quantum processors

Enhanced IBM Quantum Platform unites quantum with classical computing in one environment

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced IBM Quantum Nighthawk r3, its next-generation processor, will be built to accurately execute 10,000 quantum operations across 520 qubits to tackle larger, more complex problems while maintaining the speed and quality demonstrated by the current generation Nighthawk available today.

In 2027, IBM plans to link two Nighthawk r3 processors into a single system with more than 1,000 qubits.

To be at the frontier of quantum computing, industry-relevant applications demand both computational quality and speed. Speed matters because a quantum computer delivers its answer in samples: each run of a quantum circuit returns one result. Applications increasingly require circuits executing thousands of quantum operations on approximately 100 qubits or more, generating millions to billions of samples. Scale and quality enable increasingly complex computations, but speed determines whether these demanding workloads can be completed in practical timeframes and at a reasonable cost.

“Useful quantum computing hinges on whether results can be delivered with accuracy and speed, both are fundamental,” said Jay Gambetta, Director of IBM Research and IBM Fellow. “Nighthawk is already showing us what that looks like today. As we scale this architecture to larger and more powerful quantum computers, the capabilities of quantum computation will reach new levels as we integrate more closely with classical resources and march ahead to fault tolerance.”

Nighthawk r2: Delivering Speed for Real-World Workloads

Introduced in September, IBM Quantum Nighthawk r2 delivers up to 100,000 samples per second while supporting accurate computations with more than 7,500 quantum operations on 120 qubits. Its high-speed qubit reset technology dramatically reduces the time between circuit executions, enabling applications to collect the millions or billions of samples needed for complex computations far more efficiently.

Clients and partners including E.ON, Algorithmiq, and Q-CTRL have executed 34 billion circuits on Nighthawk r2 to date, reporting performance improvements of up to 19x while maintaining the quality needed for scientific computation.

The results are already demonstrating value across industries. E.ON reported a 15x speedup on Nighthawk r2 in quantum machine learning for energy grid optimization. IBM used Nighthawk r2 for a 12x speedup of an experiment ran earlier this year with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which simulated real magnetic materials and produced results consistent with neutron scattering experiments. Both of these speedups were achieved over previous work on IBM Quantum Heron. Quantum Elements and ParityQC are also among the partners reporting significant performance improvements on their own Nighthawk r2 workloads.

The quantum advantage experiments IBM and its partners published in July were first run on IBM Quantum Heron, with circuits and results openly available for independent testing through the community-led Quantum Advantage Tracker. An experiment with Algorithmiq to simulate a heterogeneous quantum material has now been extended to Nighthawk r2, leveraging its speed and connectivity to execute circuits 8 times faster than the original experiment on Heron. At the same time, the new circuits are significantly more challenging for classical computers to simulate, requiring an estimated 240 times more memory to achieve comparable accuracy when using leading classical tensor-network methods.

Nighthawk r3: Scaling to More Than 1,000 Qubits

Building on the performance demonstrated by Nighthawk r2, Nighthawk r3 will extend the same high-speed architecture to larger quantum computers. The new processor is designed to support 10,000 quantum operations on 520 programmable qubits, with 2,034 total physical qubits. It retains r2’s square-lattice connectivity and fast operations while introducing 10 chip-to-chip interconnects, called l-couplers, designed to connect processors into larger systems.

IBM has already demonstrated two critical technologies that enable this modular approach. This year, IBM connected Nighthawk r1 processors using four l-couplers, achieving 99.3 percent quantum state transfer fidelity and progressing toward its 99.9 percent target. IBM also connected two cryogenic modules into a single system for the first time, reaching operating temperature in under five days and cooling below 15 millikelvin.

Together, these advances demonstrate critical progress in modularity and provide confidence in IBM’s ability to scale Nighthawk to larger quantum computers. In 2027, IBM plans to connect two Nighthawk r3 processors into a single 1,040-qubit system, extending its high-performance architecture to larger and more complex computations.

Quantum Meets Classical on the IBM Quantum Platform

Advancing quantum computers requires continued progress in how they work alongside classical compute to handle errors. Industry-relevant workloads will demand layers of quantum error correction and error mitigation techniques alongside noise learning and post-processing. As quantum workloads scale, they will call for more classical resources, and the challenge now is how to best scale this integration.

To unite these paradigms, IBM Quantum Platform is bringing high-performance (HPC) classical and quantum computing together into a single managed environment. Users can now integrate quantum workflows directly with a range of classical compute – whether from their laptop or a powerful supercomputer – or with the HPC and classical resources that are newly available on the platform.

Users are seeing promising results from these integrations. For example, using the new environment, IBM and RIKEN* scientists executed their original sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) workflow roughly 5 times faster while performing 100 times more computations than in the original study. Cleveland Clinic and RIKEN also leveraged the platform to automatically process 608 million samples for modeling biologically relevant structures, 33 times faster than without workflow automation.

Enhanced capabilities will also fuel breakthroughs in quantum error correction. IBM Quantum Platform offers pulse-level capabilities to give researchers precise control over how they can detect, understand, and better correct errors within quantum and classical architectures. This helps them better time operations, reset qubits faster, and extract more information from quantum measurements – giving researchers the visibility to improve error correction at its most fundamental levels.

IBM recently launched a new co-design platform for quantum error correction with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and AMD that physically co-locates Nighthawk with ORNL’s Umbra High-Performance Computing (HPC) system, powered by AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs.

Gift supports a larger, 16-suite house for Veteran families, building on NewDay’s year-round commitment to serving those who have served

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This Veterans Day, NewDay USA, a national mortgage lending company serving the Veteran community, announced its $1 million donation to Fisher House Foundation in support of the new Fisher House at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center. The gift supports construction of a larger, more accessible facility where Veteran families can stay close to their loved ones during medical care, at no cost to them. 

“Helping Veterans and Service Members achieve the American Dream of homeownership is at the heart of NewDay’s mission, but our commitment to those who have served extends well beyond that,” said Rob Posner, CEO of NewDay USA. “When a Veteran needs medical care, their family should be able to focus on being there for them, not worrying about the cost of where they stay. It is our privilege to support Fisher House and help more military families stay together when they need each other the most.”

The new Fisher House will replace the smaller existing house on the VA campus, expanding to 16 fully wheelchair-accessible suites. The original facility lacks an elevator and full accessibility, limiting its ability to accommodate some families with mobility needs. The new house will provide both greater capacity and more accessible accommodations to better meet the needs of the Veteran community.

“More space and fully accessible suites mean we can welcome more families and better meet their needs,” said David Coker, President of Fisher House Foundation. “We are grateful to NewDay USA for helping make this new Fisher House possible and for the employees who give their time to support our guests throughout the year. Their generosity will help more families focus on what matters most: being there for a loved one receiving care.”

The donation builds on NewDay’s ongoing involvement with the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center and Fisher House. NewDay employees regularly volunteer at both facilities and serve dinner at Fisher House each month, offering a warm meal and a welcoming connection to families spending time away from home.

“On Veterans Day and every day, we have a responsibility to honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s Veterans and the families who stand beside them,” said Admiral Thomas Lynch, Executive Chairman of NewDay USA. “Supporting Fisher House is a meaningful way to put that gratitude into action. Whether we are helping build this new house or serving dinner to the families staying there, our message is the same: your service is remembered, and you are not alone.”
