Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for Q2 2015 increased $2.8 million, or 42%, to $9.5 million from $6.7 million in Q2 2014. Consolidated operating profit for Q2 2015 decreased $3.0 million, or 78%, to $0.9 million compared to $3.9 million for Q2 2014, which includes $5.4 million of one-time charges in Q2 2015. Consolidated income from continuing operations decreased $1.6 million, or 91%, to $0.2 million in Q2 2015 compared to $1.8 million for Q2 2014. Consolidated net income was $0.2 million in Q2 2015 compared to $1.1 million for Q2 2014, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 78%. Diluted EPS from continuing operations for Q2 2015 was $0.01 compared to diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.14 for Q2 2014, a decrease of 93%. Excluding severance and restructuring related costs as well as lease vacancy costs, adjusted EPS from continuing operations for Q2 2015 was $0.26 compared to $0.15 for Q2 2014. Commenting on the Company's results, Frank Khulusi, Chairman and CEO of PCM, Inc., said, "We are very pleased with our results for the second quarter as we grew our net sales by 43% and our adjusted EPS by 73%, beating the high end of our guidance by $0.02 per share. We are also proud of how our legacy business and our En Pointe acquisition performed during the quarter. In our legacy business, investments we made in field sales, software sales and technical resources, together with our previously discussed sales organization changes, have begun to show positive results. We experienced strong growth of 9% in our legacy business net sales excluding the impact of increased accounting net downs. This exceeds our previously articulated expectation of 8% growth before net downs and is well north of recent quarters." Khulusi continued, "We also are very pleased with the sales growth in En Pointe, as it posted a 17% increase in net sales. We have also recently begun to explore ways we can leverage the respective capabilities of the legacy business and the En Pointe business for the benefit of both operations in future periods. As an example, we set in motion a plan to relocate the En Pointe staff from their former headquarters building to the PCM headquarters building in El Segundo and we will be vacating the En Pointe building in the third quarter. We also have found that En Pointe's CRM tool suits the needs for our legacy business and have elected to abandon our work in progress on an alternative PCM CRM tool. Each of these items resulted in significant one-time charges in the second quarter but are expected to meaningfully reduce our cost structure going forward." Jay Miley, President of PCM, Inc., said, "In the second quarter, we grew our networking, software, servers and manufacturer extended service agreement categories by a very strong 38%, 25%, 22% and 31%, respectively. These results are a great testament to our continued transformation as a leading value-added IT solution provider as we realize the benefits of the investments and changes that Frank talked about. We also have been busy streamlining the business to create an efficient engine to support profitable growth. In that regard, during the quarter we executed our previously announced plan to reduce our operating expenses by an annualized $6.6 million and we continue to explore ways to achieve further cost savings while continuing to invest in areas of opportunity. Perhaps most significantly, I am pleased to announce that at the beginning of this quarter we reorganized our internal resources to create three new primary practice groups we call Advanced Technologies, End-point Technologies and Managed Technologies. Each of these practice areas includes dedicated leadership who report directly to me and combines marketing, services and support resources in a vertically integrated fashion. We believe this new organization structure to be a class-leading, unique go-to-market approach that will be an important differentiator, designed to make us more nimble than our competitors and to further align us with our vendors' and customers' needs." Khulusi concluded, "We see very exciting times ahead of us as these investments, organizational changes and synergies are leveraged and take further hold and as we continue to digest the En Pointe acquisition and drive its business. We expect strong growth in our top and bottom line again for the third quarter. We expect our adjusted EPS to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.17 per share in the third quarter and to exceed $1.00 per share for the twelve-month period beginning in the second quarter of 2015. We believe that PCM is better positioned than ever and we are laser-focused on driving shareholder value well above current levels." Results of Operations
Consolidated net sales were $478.9 million in Q2 2015 compared to $335.0 million in Q2 2014, an increase of $143.9 million, or 43%, which was primarily due to $136.9 million in sales from En Pointe, which we acquired in April 2015, and a 2% increase in our legacy business. Our legacy net sales were impacted by a shift in sales mix towards products reported on a net basis. Excluding the impact of the net down, our legacy consolidated net sales grew by 9%. Consolidated sales of services were 7% and 9% of net sales in Q2 2015 and Q2 2014, respectively. Commercial net sales were $350.1 million in Q2 2015 compared to $256.4 million in Q2 2014, an increase of $93.7 million or 37%. The increase in Commercial net sales was primarily related to $87.1 million in sales in our En Pointe business as well as a 3% increase in our legacy Commercial business, partially offset by a continued shift in sales mix towards products reported on a net basis. Excluding the impact of the net down, our legacy commercial net sales grew by 9%. Sales of services in the Commercial segment increased 10% in Q2 2015, and represented 9% of Commercial net sales in Q2 2015 and 11% in Q2 2014. The increase in service revenues was primarily due to our En Pointe business and a 2% increase in legacy service sales. Public Sector net sales were $105.7 million in Q2 15 compared to $50.9 million in Q2 14, an increase of $54.8 million, or 108%, primarily due to $49.8 million in state and local government and educational business (SLED) contributed by En Pointe, as well as a $5.0 million, or 10%, increase in our legacy net sales. Our legacy federal net sales grew $6.8 million, or 24%, driven by the strength of one of our federal contract vehicles, partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 8%, decrease in our legacy SLED business sales due to a shift in sales mix towards products reported on a net basis. Excluding the impact of the net down, our legacy Public Sector business grew by 20% and our legacy SLED business sales grew by 17%. MacMall net sales were $23.1 million in Q2 2015 compared to $27.7 million in Q2 2014, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 17%. The decrease in MacMall net sales was primarily due to a decrease in sales of iMacs. Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin Consolidated gross profit was $62.0 million in Q2 2015, an increase of $14.0 million, or 29%, from $48.0 million in Q2 2014. Consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 12.9% in Q2 2015 from 14.3% in Q2 2014. The increase in consolidated gross profit was primarily due to $15.8 million of En Pointe gross profit, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in gross profit from our legacy business. The decrease in consolidated gross profit margin was due to seasonally lower margins related to the En Pointe business, lower margins in our legacy business resulting from competitive pricing pressures, a shift in mix towards our Public Sector business and a decrease in vendor consideration partially offset by an increase in mix of solution sales and an increase related to sales accounted for on a net basis. Our legacy business gross profit margin was 13.5%, a 30 basis point sequential increase over Q1 2015. Selling, General & Administrative Expenses Consolidated SG&A expenses were $61.1 million in Q2 2015 compared to $44.1 million in Q2 2014, an increase of $17 million, or 39%. Consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 12.8% in Q2 2015 from 13.2% in Q2 2014. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses in Q2 2015 was primarily due to $13.6 million of SG&A expenses relating to En Pointe, which includes a $1.6 million non-cash charge related to the expected lease vacancy in connection with the relocation of En Pointe's employees from its now redundant historic headquarters in Gardena, CA to PCM's headquarters in El Segundo, CA effective in the third quarter. The increase in consolidated SG&A expenses also includes a $3.3 million write-off of work in process software related to a CRM system which we have abandoned in favor of En Pointe's production CRM system and a $0.4 million increase in severance costs related to cost reduction initiatives. We also will be exploring additional synergies between PCM and En Pointe as we go forward, such as systems, leases, personnel and intellectual property which may result in additional one-time charges.

Product Sales Mix The following table sets forth our net billed sales by major categories as a percentage of total net billed sales for the periods presented, determined based upon our internal product code classifications, and excluding the results of our discontinued operations, which includes our closed retail stores and the results of our OnSale and eCost businesses.
Non-GAAP Measure We are presenting earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS (adjusted EPS), which are financial measures that are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS remove the effect of severance and restructuring related expenses related to our cost reduction initiative and other uncommon, non-recurring or special items. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures and are not presented as an alternative measure of operating results, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures allow a more meaningful comparison of our operating performance trends to both management and investors that is more indicative of our consolidated operating results across reporting periods. Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily represent an allocation to current expense of the cost of historical capital expenditures and for acquired intangible assets resulting from prior business acquisitions. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP consolidated financial measures is included in a table below.
