Gross Billings and Market Strength

What’s more, non-GAAP gross billings amounted to $21.6 billion, up 12.1% year over year. On a constant currency basis, this translates to an 11.3% increase. Patrick Zammit, CEO of TD SYNNEX, commented on the continued strength of the IT Distribution and Hyperscaler markets, saying, “Our Q2 results demonstrate the continued strength of the IT Distribution and Hyperscaler markets, meanwhile, our strategy and the execution of our team are enabling us to grow ahead of market.” It seems that not only is the company growing, but it’s doing so while all regions and major technologies contribute to the success story.

Return to Shareholders

For shareholders, there’s more good news. The company returned $186 million to its stockholders through share repurchases and dividends, including a quarterly cash dividend of $0.44 per common share, reflecting a 10% increase year-over-year.
