ScanSource has completed its $220.5 million all-cash acquisition of MicroAge, expanding the technology distributor’s capabilities across cybersecurity, data intelligence, technology implementation and managed IT services.
The transaction was originally announced on August 20, 2026 and has now closed under the terms of the previously disclosed definitive agreement.
ScanSource funded the acquisition through borrowings under its existing credit facility, allowing the company to complete the transaction entirely with cash consideration.
The acquisition adds a more services-oriented technology organization to ScanSource’s existing distribution platform and broadens the range of capabilities it can provide to channel partners and their end customers.
MicroAge is a full-service technology solutions integrator with approximately 50 years of operating history.
The company’s capabilities span cybersecurity, data intelligence, technology implementations and managed IT services, giving customers access to specialized consulting and technical expertise across increasingly complex enterprise technology environments.
Those capabilities complement ScanSource’s existing business, which supports channel sales partners across hardware, software-as-a-service, connectivity and cloud services.
By bringing MicroAge onto its platform, ScanSource is expanding beyond traditional technology distribution and adding additional expertise around the deployment, integration and ongoing management of technology solutions.
The combination is expected to help ScanSource support partners as customer technology environments become more interconnected across infrastructure, cloud services, cybersecurity, software and data.
MicroAge’s consulting and managed services capabilities could also create opportunities for ScanSource to participate in a larger portion of the customer technology lifecycle, from product selection and procurement through implementation and ongoing support.
Financially, ScanSource expects the acquisition to be accretive to gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP EPS during the first year following closing.
The company also expects MicroAge to be free cash flow positive, adding another source of cash generation to the combined business.
The expected margin accretion is particularly notable because MicroAge’s consulting, implementation and managed service offerings broaden ScanSource’s mix toward higher-value services alongside its existing technology distribution activities.
The transaction also advances ScanSource’s strategy of helping channel partners address increasingly complex customer technology requirements through a combination of products, recurring services and specialized expertise.
ScanSource was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. The company works with channel partners to deliver technology solutions spanning hardware, SaaS, connectivity and cloud services and was ranked No. 923 on the Fortune 1000.
With MicroAge now part of the organization, ScanSource is positioned to offer a broader combination of distribution capabilities and specialized technology services while pursuing additional opportunities to increase margins, earnings and free cash flow.
