This represents a material capital allocation event. While fourth-quarter net sales saw a slight decline, the company achieved record gross profit in its Enterprise and Business Solutions segments, driven by customer modernization for AI-first IT environments.

The declared quarterly dividend further reinforces shareholder returns.
