ash stock-based compensation expense, included in SG&A, was $9.0 million in 2024, as compared to $4.5 million in 2023. The increase in 2024 primarily related to the non-cash stock compensation expense from the stock price award program. See Note 10, “Stock Based Compensation,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. 

Amortization Expense. There was $148 thousand of amortization expense in 2024. There was no amortization expense included in SG&A in 2023. The amortization expense related to the amortization of the intangible asset acquired in our acquisition of Leeway Hertz in September 2024. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and General Information,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Segment Profit. Segment profit consists of the revenue generated by the segment, less the direct costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses that are incurred directly by the segment. Items not allocated to the segment level include corporate costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not attributable to a particular segment. These administrative function costs include corporate general and administrative expenses, non-cash compensation, depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense.

Global S&BT segment profit decreased to $51.6 million in 2024, as compared to $54.4 million in 2023 primarily due to the revenue growth in our Gen AI consulting and implementation offerings, which were offset by weakness in our eProcurement and OneStream implementation offerings. 

Oracle Solutions segment profit increased to $19.1 million in 2024, as compared to $18.1 million in 2023, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by increased headcount and increased usage of subcontractors.

SAP Solutions segment profit increased to $18.7 million in 2024, as compared to $11.9 million in 2023, primarily due to the value-added reseller activity in the year, partially offset by higher commissions and sales related costs.
