TO  O U R  S H A R E H O L D E R S
Fiscal 2022 was a successful and pivotal year in our 
transformation from a distributor of wireless infrastructure 
and mobile device accessories to an industry leader with 
the ability to capitalize on the technology convergence 
that is driving growth in the wireless infrastructure space. 
Not only did we make significant progress with respect 
to our key initiatives of re-energizing our core distribution 
business, industrializing our profitable Ventev business, and 
establishing our SaaS (Software as a Service) business; we 
also returned to profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis.
Despite unprecedented and persistent global supply 
chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, we remained 
focused on delivering world-class products and services 
and were able to leverage our long-standing supplier 
and customer relationships to increase our market share 
and grow bookings and revenue, significantly. These 
efforts, in concert with effective cost-management and 
improvements to our liquidity position, have made us a 
stronger company and will lead to improvements in our 
return on invested capital.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, all of which are based on current expectation. All statements other than statements of 
historical facts contained herein, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may generally 
be identified by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” 
“plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words or phrases does 
not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are only predictions 
and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are outside of our control. Our actual 
results may differ materially and adversely from those described in or contemplated by any such forward-looking 
statement for a variety of reasons, including those risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K 
and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), under the heading “Risk 
Factors” and otherwise. Consequently, the reader is cautioned to consider all forward-looking statements in light of 
the risks to which they are subject.
We are not able to identify or control all circumstances that could occur in the future that may adversely affect our 
business and operating results. Without limiting the risks that we describe in our periodic reports and elsewhere, 
among the risks that could lead to a materially adverse impact on our business or operating results are the 
following: the impact and results of any new or continued activism activities by activist investors; termination or non-
renewal of limited duration agreements or arrangements with our suppliers and affinity partners which are typically 
terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise relatively short notice; loss of significant customers, 
suppliers or relationships, including affinity relationships; loss of customers or reduction in customer business 
either directly or indirectly as a result of consolidation among large wireless service carriers and others within the 
wireless communications industry; any deterioration in the strength of our customers’, suppliers’ or affinity partners’ 
businesses; negative or adverse economic conditions, including those adversely affecting consumer confidence or 
consumer or business spending or otherwise adversely affecting our suppliers or customers, including their access 
to capital or liquidity, or our customers’ demand for, or ability to fund or pay for, the purchase of our products and 
services; our dependence on a relatively small number of suppliers, which could hamper our ability to maintain 
appropriate inventory levels and meet customer demand; changes in customer and product mix that affect gross 
margin; effect of “conflict minerals” regulations on the supply and cost of certain of our products; failure of our 
information technology system or distribution system; or our inability to maintain or upgrade our technology or 
telecommunication systems without undue cost, incident or delay; system security and data protection breaches 
and exposure to cyber-attacks, and the cost associated with ongoing efforts to maintain cyber-security measures 
and to meet applicable compliance standards; damage or destruction of our distribution or other facilities; prolonged 
or otherwise unusual quality or performance control problems; technology changes in the wireless communications 
industry or technological failures, which could lead to significant inventory obsolescence or devaluation and/or 
our inability to offer key products that our customers demand; third-party freight carrier interruption; increased 
competition from competitors, including manufacturers or national and regional distributors of the products we sell, 
and the absence of significant barriers to entry which could result in pricing and other pressures on profitability 
and market share; our relative bargaining power and inability to negotiate favorable terms with our suppliers and 
customers; our inability to access capital and obtain or retain financing as and when needed; transitional and other 
risks associated with acquisitions of companies that we may undertake in an effort to expand our business; claims 
against us for breach of the intellectual property rights of third parties; product liability claims; our inability to protect 
certain intellectual property, including systems and technologies on which we rely; our inability to hire or retain for 
any reason our key professionals, management and staff; health epidemics or pandemics or other outbreaks or 
events, or national or world events or disasters, beyond our control, changes in political and regulatory conditions, 
including tax and trade policies; and the possibility that, for unforeseen or other reasons, we may be delayed in 
entering into or performing, or may fail to enter into or perform, anticipated contracts or may otherwise be delayed 
in realizing or fail to realize anticipated revenues or anticipated savings.
