I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases. A lot of developers appreciate the ease of accessing data using SQL and I think we will see more and more databases supporting standard SQL.
As you said - NewSQL databases often maintain the...

“Our sales teams delivered results within our planned range, including
record quarterly sales for POS & Barcode and Security products

North America Communications team achieved record sales results for the
quarter.”
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, net sales decreased 4.5% to
$747.7 million, compared with $782.7 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2011. Excluding the translation impact of foreign
currencies, net sales decreased 3.1% year-over-year. Operating income
decreased to $24.4 million from $32.1 million in the comparable prior
year quarter. The effective tax rate decreased to 34.0% in the current
quarter from 34.7% in the prior year quarter. Net income for the quarter
ended December 31, 2012 was $16.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share,
compared with net income of $21.4 million, or $0.77 per diluted share,
for the prior year quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
December 31, 2012 included $2.1 million pre-tax ($1.4 million after-tax)
in one-time costs associated with the Company's attaining compliance
with local Belgian tax matters. These costs include the replacement of
certain personnel in the Company's Belgian office and related severance
costs, as well as tax accruals and professional fees. Excluding the
one-time costs associated with personnel replacement in the Company's
local Belgian office, including related tax compliance and professional
fees, adjusted net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2012
totaled $17.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share.
Forecast for Next Quarter
The Company announced its current expectations for the third quarter of
fiscal 2013. ScanSource expects that net sales for the quarter ending
March 31, 2013 could range from $675 million to $695 million, and
diluted earnings per share could be in the range of $0.48 to $0.50 per
share.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains comments that are “forward-looking”
statements that involve risks and uncertainties; these statements are
subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Any number of important factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from anticipated or forecasted results,
including, but not limited to, factors affecting one-time costs
associated with tax compliance and personnel replacement in the
Company's local Belgian office; expanded operations in emerging markets,
such as Brazil, that expose us to greater political and economic
volatility than our operations in established markets; additional costs
and delays in connection with the implementation of our new ERP system
and associated litigation; our ability to forecast volatility in
earnings resulting from the quarterly revaluation of the Company's
earnout obligation to the sellers of CDC; macroeconomic circumstances
that could impact our business, such as currency fluctuations; continued
adverse capital and credit market conditions; and an economic downturn.
For more information concerning factors that could cause actual results
to differ from anticipated results, see the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by law, the Company
expressly disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this
press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with
United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the
Company also discloses non-GAAP measures. To evaluate current period
performance on a clearer and more consistent basis with prior periods,
the Company discloses adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings
per share, which exclude one-time costs associated with tax compliance
and personnel replacement in the Company's local Belgian office.
Management uses return on invested capital (“ROIC”), a non-GAAP measure,
as a performance measurement because management believes that this
metric best balances the Company's operating results with its asset and
liability management. The Company's Board of Directors uses ROIC in
evaluating management performance and setting management compensation.
The Company also discloses the percentage change in net sales excluding
the impact of foreign currency exchange rates to better assess the
changes from prior periods.
Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a
complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance
with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial
information to GAAP is set forth in the following Supplemental
Information table.
