INGM Q1 Earnings Call: Automation and Platform Investments Drive Growth Amid Margin Pressure
IT distribution giant Ingram Micro (NYSE:INGM) reported Q1 CY2025 results exceeding the market's revenue expectations , with sales up 8.3% year on year to $12.28 billion. Guidance for next quarter's revenue was better than expected at $11.97 billion at the midpoint, 1.4% above analysts' estimates. Its GAAP profit of $0.29 per share was 26.9% below analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy INGM? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $12.28 billion vs analyst estimates of $11.61 billion (8.3% year-on-year growth, 5.8% beat) EPS (GAAP): $0.29 vs analyst expectations of $0.40 (26.9% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $290.8 million vs analyst estimates of $279.2 million (2.4% margin, 4.1% beat) Revenue Guidance for Q2 CY2025 is $11.97 billion at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $11.8 billion Operating Margin: 1.6%, in line with the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $4.7 billion Ingram Micro's first quarter performance was largely shaped by the continued momentum in its client and endpoint solutions, as well as growing contributions from advanced solutions and cloud businesses. CEO Paul Bay highlighted that both North America and Asia Pacific delivered double-digit sales growth, with the company's xVantage platform playing a key role in improving operational efficiency and customer engagement. Management discussed improved productivity in go-to-market teams and pointed to successful reactivation of dormant customers through digital initiatives. CFO Michael Zilis noted that automation and cost actions taken over the past two years helped leverage operating expenses, even as gross margins faced headwinds due to a greater mix of lower-margin product categories and regional shifts. Looking ahead, management stated that macroeconomic and trade uncertainties, especially around tariffs, are expected to impact both demand and customer buying behavior in the coming quarters. CFO Michael Zilis emphasized, 'Our Q2 guidance reflects the potential impact of tariffs and the macro environment as a prudent reflection of what we see today.' The company expects continued growth in advanced solutions and cloud, but anticipates the mix will remain weighted toward lower-margin large enterprise customers. Management also stressed the importance of ongoing investments in digital platforms and automation, which they believe will support margin improvement over time. The outlook remains cautious, with the team closely monitoring vendor pricing dynamics and customer responses to changing market conditions. Ingram Micro's leadership attributed first quarter gains to the success of its xVantage digital platform and increased automation, while acknowledging margin pressures from sales mix and regional trends. xVantage platform expansion: Management reported that xVantage, now live in 20 countries, enabled more than triple the self-service orders compared to the prior year, improved customer engagement, and reactivated thousands of dormant customers. The platform's AI-driven features, such as the AIDA assistant, contributed to both revenue uplift and go-to-market team productivity. Client and endpoint solutions momentum: Nearly 15% growth in client and endpoint solutions, primarily driven by desktop, notebook, and mobility device sales, was a key revenue driver. However, this growth also pressured gross margins, as these products typically have lower profitability than advanced solutions and cloud offerings. Advanced solutions and cloud growth: Both segments showed year-over-year growth, with cloud representing only about 1% of net sales but contributing nearly 15% of total gross profit. Management sees this as a foundation for future margin expansion as these higher-margin businesses scale. Regional performance dynamics: While Asia Pacific led with over 20% sales growth, gains were concentrated in lower-margin, highly competitive markets. North America returned to double-digit growth, but large corporate and enterprise customers—who tend to generate lower margins—drove most of the increase, while SMB sales remained subdued. Cost leverage and operating expenses: Cost actions and automation initiatives reduced operating expenses as a percentage of sales. However, the overall margin profile remained under pressure due to the sales mix and higher inventory investments in anticipation of tariffs. Management's outlook for the coming quarters centers on navigating tariff uncertainty, shifting customer mix, and scaling digital initiatives to support growth and margin improvement. Tariff and macroeconomic headwinds: The leadership team warned that persistent volatility around tariffs could dampen demand, particularly among SMB customers who are more sensitive to inflation and price uncertainty. Ingram Micro's ability to pass through most tariff-related costs helps protect margins, but demand may still be affected if customers delay purchases. Shift toward higher-margin business: While large enterprise sales continue to dominate, management aims to grow advanced solutions and cloud as a proportion of total revenue. These segments are expected to support future margin expansion, but near-term growth remains weighted toward lower-margin products and geographies. Investments in automation and digital platforms: Ongoing investment in xVantage and AI-driven processes is expected to drive greater operational efficiency and lower operating expenses over time. Management believes this will help offset some of the margin headwinds from product and regional mix, as well as support improved customer experience and retention. In the upcoming quarters, the StockStory team will monitor (1) the pace of xVantage platform adoption and its effect on customer engagement and operational efficiency, (2) the impact of tariffs and macroeconomic conditions on demand—particularly among SMBs, and (3) the ability of advanced solutions and cloud to grow as a share of revenue and support margin improvement. Trends in inventory management and working capital efficiency will also serve as important indicators of strategic execution. Ingram Micro currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 6.6×.
