Business
Item 1. Business General The Company is a value added information technology ("IT") distribution and solutions company. The Company primarily operates through its "Distribution" segment, which distributes emerging technologies to corporate resellers, value added resellers ("VARs"), consultants and systems integrators worldwide under the name "Climb Channel Solutions". The Company also operates a smaller segment called "Solutions", which is a cloud solutions provider and value-added reseller of software, hardware and services for customers worldwide under the name "Grey Matter". Across both segments, we offer an extensive line of products from leading software vendors and tools for virtualization/cloud computing, security, networking, storage and infrastructure management, application lifecycle management and other technically sophisticated domains as well as computer hardware. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1982. Our common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") is listed on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "CLMB". Distribution Segment In our Distribution segment, which accounted for approximately 92% of our consolidated net sales and 83% of our consolidated gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2023, we distribute technology products from software developers, software vendors or original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") to resellers, and system integrators worldwide. We purchase software, maintenance/service agreements, networking/storage/security equipment and complementary products from our vendors and sell them to our reseller customers. The large majority of products we sell are "drop shipped" directly to the customers, which reduces physical handling by the Company and required investment in inventory. Generally, a vendor authorizes a limited number of companies to act as distributors of their product and sell their product to resellers. Our reseller customers include value-added resellers, or VARs, corporate
