1. Financial Performance
1.1 Revenue
Total revenue for Q2 2025 reached $155.8 million, representing a 12.5% increase compared to the $138.5 million reported in Q2 2024 and surpassing our internal target of $152 million by 2.5%. This strong growth was primarily fueled by exceptional performance in our Enterprise Solutions division, which saw a 17.8% YoY increase, and the continued strong adoption of our subscription-based services, experiencing a 21.3% growth in recurring revenue. (Refer to Table 1.1 for a detailed breakdown by business unit, including historical data and forecasts).

1.2 Profitability
The overall gross profit margin for Q2 2025 was 48.2%, slightly below our target of 51.0%. This variance is primarily attributed to a significant increase in the cost of semiconductor components affecting the Hardware division. Despite this pressure, operating income reached $31.2 million, a 15.4% increase from the $27.0 million reported in the same period last year, reflecting strong operational efficiency in other divisions. Net income for the quarter was $22.5 million, compared to $21.8 million in Q2 2024. (See Appendix A for detailed financial statements, including segment-wise profitability analysis).

2.3 Supply Chain


We experienced significant disruptions in the global supply chain for specific high-performance computing (HPC) components, leading to an average increase in lead times of 6 weeks for our high-end hardware products. Our supply chain management team is actively working to mitigate these issues by exploring alternative suppliers in different geographical regions and increasing buffer inventory for critical components.


Continued progress on our sustainability initiatives within the supply chain saw 78% of our key Tier 1 suppliers now adhering to our environmental and social responsibility guidelines, as verified through independent audits. We are now extending these efforts to our Tier 2 suppliers.


Our new logistics optimization system has been fully implemented, resulting in a 8.3% reduction in shipping costs and a 12.5% decrease in average delivery times.


Inventory optimization efforts have reduced our days inventory outstanding (DIO) from 47 days to 42 days, while maintaining sufficient stock levels to meet current demand.


3. Strategic Initiative Progress
3.1 Digital Transformation


The implementation of our new cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is progressing according to the revised timeline. The finance and human resources (HR) modules were successfully rolled out on May 1st, 2025, with minimal disruption to operations. The deployment of the core operations and supply chain management modules is now scheduled for completion in Q3 2025.


We have also made significant progress in our internal automation initiatives, deploying robotic process automation (RPA) bots in our accounts payable and invoice processing departments, resulting in a 15% reduction in processing time and a 10% decrease in errors.


Our data analytics capabilities have been enhanced with the implementation of a new business intelligence platform, providing real-time insights across all business units. Early adoption has been encouraging, with 68% of managers actively using the platform for decision-making.
