TD SYNNEX (SNX - Free Report) started fiscal 2022 on a strong note by reporting overwhelming first-quarter results, wherein the top and the bottom lines surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and marked a strong year-over-year improvement. The company’s fiscal first-quarter non-GAAP earnings of $3.03 per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.6% and increased 60.3% year over year.

Revenues jumped 213.2% year over year to $15.5 billion, mainly due to the inclusion of revenues from the recently completed merger of Tech Data Corporation. The top line also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $15.28 billion.

TD SYNNEX was formerly known as SYNNEX Corporation but the company changed its name after the acquisition of Tech Data Corporation on Sep 1, 2021.

The company continues to witness strong demand for its technology products and services. In addition, a steady IT spending environment, backed by rapid digital transformations, was an upside. However, prevailing industry-wide supply-chain constraints negatively impacted the top line.
