1.	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

CDW Corporation ("Parent") is a Fortune 500 company with multi-national capabilities and a leading provider of integrated information technology ("IT") solutions to small, medium and large business, government, education and healthcare customers in the United States ("US"), the United Kingdom ("UK") and Canada. The Company's offerings range from discrete hardware and software products to integrated IT solutions such as mobility, security, data center optimization, cloud computing, virtualization and collaboration.

Throughout this report, the terms the "Company" and "CDW" refer to Parent and its 100% owned subsidiaries.

Parent has two 100% owned subsidiaries, CDW LLC and CDW Finance Corporation. CDW LLC is an Illinois limited liability company that, together with its 100% owned subsidiaries, holds all material assets and conducts all business activities and operations of the Company. CDW Finance Corporation is a Delaware corporation formed for the sole purpose of acting as co-issuer of certain debt obligations as described in Note 13 (Supplemental Guarantor Information) and does not hold any material assets or engage in any business activities or operations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018 (the "Consolidated Financial Statements") have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the "December 31, 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements"). The significant accounting policies used in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the December 31, 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The unaudited results of operations for such interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Parent and its 100% owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the December 31, 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements include a discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Except as noted below for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"), there have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~CDW CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

Leases

The Company enters into operating lease contracts, as assessed at contract inception, primarily for real estate, data centers and equipment. On the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, Operating lease assets are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities are included in Other current liabilities and ~~Operating~~Long-term operating lease liabilities. At the lease commencement date, the Company records Operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future lease payments. In determining the present value of future lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date. For real estate and data center contracts, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. For certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to account for the right-of-use asset and operating lease liability. In assessing the lease term, the Company includes options to renew only when it is reasonably certain that it will be exercised; a determination which is at the sole discretion of the Company. Generally, for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, the Company has elected to not record a right-of-use asset and lease liability. For equipment leases used in revenue generating activities, the Company will record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term beginning on the commencement date.

~~Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash~~

Restricted cash represents funds that are restricted to satisfy designated current liabilities. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

2.	2.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU introduces a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020 and allows for early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting for Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted and applied Topic 842. The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities of $81 million as of January 1, 2019, mainly related to operating leases for the Company's real estate portfolio. For additional details regarding the impact to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets from adopting this standard, see Note 9 (Leases).

On February 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of Scalar Decisions Inc. ("Scalar"), a leading technology solutions provider in Canada, for a ~~preliminary~~ total final purchase price of ~~$86~~$88 million of which $13 million is deferred to satisfy potential indemnity obligations and is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2021. The ~~final purchase price will be determined following completion of working capital adjustments. This strategic~~

~~acquisition expands the Company's solutions and services portfolio, extends the Company's in-market presence across Canada and enhances the value that the Company can deliver to its customers. The~~ financial results of Scalar have been included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition. ~~Financial~~The financial results are included in the Canada operating segment which is shown in an all other category ("Other") along with CDW UK. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:


(in millions)	Acquisition-Date Fair Value		Acquisition-Date Fair Value

(2)	Goodwill in the amount of ~~$60~~$62 million was recognized in connection with the acquisition of Scalar, primarily attributed to cross selling opportunities and overall corporate synergies. The full amount of goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes in Canada.

4. ~~Inventory Financing Agreements~~


4.	Inventory Financing Agreements

The Company has entered into agreements with certain financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of inventory from various suppliers under certain terms and conditions, as described below. These amounts are classified separately as Accounts payable-inventory financing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not incur any interest expense associated with these agreements as balances are paid when they are due.

Amounts included in Accounts payable-inventory financing are as follows:


(in millions)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

5. ~~Contract Liabilities and Performance Obligations~~


5.	Contract Liabilities and Performance Obligations

The Company's contract liabilities consist of payments received from customers, or such consideration that is contractually due, in advance of providing the product or performing services. The Company's contract liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the contract liability balance was ~~$192~~$201 million and $178 million, respectively. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized revenue of ~~$74~~$113 million and ~~$58~~$116 million, respectively, related to its contract liabilities.

A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The following table represents the total transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 related to non-cancelable contracts longer than 12 months in duration that is expected to be recognized over future periods.

6.	Financial Instruments

The Company's indebtedness creates interest rate risk on its variable-rate debt. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company has interest rate cap agreements that entitle it to payments from the counterparty of the amount, if any, by which three-month LIBOR exceeds the strike rates of the caps during the agreement period in exchange for an upfront premium. During ~~the first quarter of~~ 2019, the Company entered into interest rate cap agreements with a combined notional value of ~~$1.0~~$1.2 billion resulting in premiums paid to the counterparties of $6 million.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had the following interest rate cap agreements for which the fair values are classified within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:


				March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018					June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Notional Value (in millions)	Notional Value (in millions)	Effective Date	Maturity Date	Fair Value (in millions)		Fair Value (in millions)		Notional Value (in millions)	Effective Date	Maturity Date	Fair Value (in millions)		Fair Value (in millions)
$	1,400.0	December 31, 2018	December 31, 2020	$	4.4	$	10.6	1,400.0	December 31, 2018	December 31, 2020	$	0.4	$	10.6
1,200.0		December 31, 2020	December 31, 2022	3.9		1.5
1,400.0								1,400.0	December 31, 2020	December 31, 2022	2.1		1.5
				$	8.3	$	12.1				$	2.5	$	12.1

The fair values of the Company's interest rate cap agreements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the interest rate cap agreements is derived by using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rates of the caps. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate cap agreements, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including LIBOR curves and implied volatilities. The Company also incorporates insignificant credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The counterparty credit spreads are based on publicly available credit information obtained from a third-party credit data provider. For additional details, see Note 7 (Long-Term Debt).

The interest rate cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into Interest expense in the period when the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company recorded a $7loss of $4 million ~~loss~~ and ~~a $3~~$12 million, ~~gain,~~ net of tax, into Accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, respectively. The Company recorded a gain of $2 million and $5 million, net of tax, into Accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company reclassified an insignificant amount and $2 million, respectively, from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings within Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reclassified ~~less than~~ $1 million and $2 million, respectively, from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings within Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company expects to reclassify $6 million from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Interest expense, net during the next 12 months.

(1)	British pound-denominated debt facilities.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company is in compliance with the covenants under the various credit agreements and indentures.

Credit Facilities

The Company has a variable rate CDW UK revolving credit facility that is denominated in British pounds. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company could have borrowed up to an additional £50 million ($6563 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019) under the CDW UK revolving credit facility.

The Company also has a variable rate senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Loan") that is denominated in US dollars. The Revolving Loan is used by the Company for borrowings, issuances of letters of credit and floorplan financing. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Revolving Loan had less than $1 million of undrawn letters of credit, ~~$436~~$401 million reserved for the floorplan sub-facility and a borrowing base of ~~$1.8~~$2.0 billion, which is based on the amount of eligible inventory and accounts receivable balances as of ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2019. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company could have borrowed up to an additional ~~$938~~$973 million under the Revolving Loan.

The Revolving Loan is collateralized by a first priority interest in inventory (excluding inventory to the extent collateralized under the inventory financing arrangements as described in Note 4 (Inventory Financing Agreements)), deposits and accounts receivable, and by a second priority interest in substantially all other US assets.

Term Loans

The CDW UK term loan has a variable interest rate. The Company is required to make annual principal installments of £5 million ($76 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019), with the remaining principal amount due at the maturity date.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~CDW CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

The CDW UK term loan agreement imposes restrictions on CDW UK's ability to transfer funds to the Company through the payment of dividends, repayment of intercompany loans, advances or subordinated debt that require, among other things, the maintenance of a minimum net leverage ratio. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the amount of restricted payment capacity under the CDW UK term loan was ~~£124~~£138 million ($~~162~~176 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019).

The senior secured term loan facility (the "Term Loan") has a variable interest rate, which has effectively been capped through the use of interest rate caps (see Note 6 (Financial Instruments)). The interest rate disclosed in the table above represents the variable interest rates in effect for ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company is required to pay quarterly principal installments of $4 million with the remaining principal amount due at the maturity date. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the amount of CDW's restricted payment capacity under the Term Loan was ~~$1.5~~$1.6 billion.

The Term Loan is collateralized by a second priority interest in substantially all inventory (excluding inventory to the extent collateralized under the inventory financing arrangements as described in Note 4 (Inventory Financing Agreements), deposits and accounts receivable, and by a first priority interest in substantially all other US assets.

Unsecured Senior Notes

The 2023 Senior Notes, 2024 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes") have a fixed interest rate, for which interest is paid semi-annually.

Fair Value

The fair values of the Senior Notes were estimated using quoted market prices for identical liabilities that are traded in over-the-counter secondary markets that are not considered active. The fair value of the Term Loan was estimated using dealer quotes for identical liabilities in markets that are not considered active. The Senior Notes, Term Loan and CDW UK term loan are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the Revolving Loan and CDW UK revolving credit facility approximate fair value if there are outstanding borrowings.

The approximate fair values and related carrying values of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding unamortized discount and unamortized deferred financing fees, are as follows:

The effective ~~income~~ tax rate, expressed by calculating the income tax expense as a percentage of Income before income taxes, was ~~20.2%~~24.7% for both the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation and a discrete tax benefit of $3 million related to CDW Canada's acquisition of Scalar, partially offset by state and local income taxes. The effective tax rate for the same period of the prior year was 23.4%2018 and differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes partially offset by excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.

Income tax expense was $103 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $96 million for the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate was 22.8% and ~~local~~24.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes partially offset by excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.

(2)	There were fewer than ~~0.1~~0.2 million potential common shares excluded from diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for both the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018 as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

~~11.~~ ~~Commitments and Contingencies~~


11.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business, which include commercial, intellectual property, employment, tort and other litigation matters. The Company is also subject to audit by federal, state, international, national, provincial and local authorities, and by various partners, group purchasing organizations and customers, including government agencies, relating to purchases and sales under various contracts. In addition, the Company is subject to indemnification claims under various contracts. From time to time, certain customers of the Company file voluntary petitions for reorganization or liquidation under the US bankruptcy laws or similar laws of the jurisdictions for the Company's business activities outside of the US. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the Company could be considered preference items and subject to return to the bankruptcy administrator.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for these proceedings and matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company's financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.


12.	Segment Information

The Company has three reportable segments: Corporate, which is comprised primarily of US private sector business customers with more than 250 employees, Small Business, which primarily serves US private sector business customers with up to 250 employees, and Public, which is comprised of government agencies and education and healthcare institutions in the US. The Company has two other operating segments: CDW UK and CDW Canada, both of which do not meet the reportable segment quantitative thresholds and, accordingly, are included in an all other category ("Other"). Headquarters function costs that are not allocated to the segments are included under the heading of "Headquarters" in the tables below.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company evaluated its methodology for allocating certain depreciation and amortization expenses to each of its segments. The evaluation resulted in a revision to the allocation of depreciation and amortization expenses from Headquarters to the Company’s reportable segments, effective January 1, 2019. The prior period results have been recast to reflect these changes and present comparable information.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, as used in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," the terms "we," "us," "the Company," "our," "CDW" and similar terms refer to CDW Corporation and its subsidiaries. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report and with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this discussion.

Overview

CDW Corporation is a Fortune 500 company and a leading provider of integrated information technology ("IT") solutions to small, medium and large business, and government, education and healthcare customers in the US, the UK and Canada. Our broad array of offerings ranges from discrete hardware and software products to integrated IT solutions such as mobility, security, data center optimization, cloud computing, virtualization and collaboration.

We are technology "agnostic," with a broad portfolio including more than 100,000 products and services from more than 1,000 leading and emerging brands. Our solutions are delivered in physical, virtual and cloud-based environments through over 6,000 customer-facing coworkers, including sellers, highly-skilled technology specialists and advanced service delivery engineers. We are a leading sales channel partner for many original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), software publishers and cloud providers (collectively, our "vendor partners"), whose products we sell or include in the solutions we offer. We provide our vendor partners with a cost-effective way to reach customers and deliver a consistent brand experience through our established end-market coverage, technical expertise and extensive customer access.

We have three reportable segments, Corporate, Small Business and Public. Our Corporate segment primarily serves US private sector business customers with more than 250 employees. Our Small Business segment primarily serves US private sector business customers with up to 250 employees. Our Public segment is comprised of government agencies and education and healthcare institutions in the US. We also have two other operating segments: CDW UK and CDW Canada, each of which do not meet the reportable segment quantitative thresholds and, accordingly, are included in an all other category ("Other").

We may sell all or only select products that our vendor partners offer. Each vendor partner agreement provides for specific terms and conditions, which may include one or more of the following: product return privileges, price protection policies, purchase discounts and vendor incentive programs, such as purchase or sales rebates and cooperative advertising reimbursements. We also resell software for major software publishers. Our agreements with software publishers allow the end-user customer to acquire software or licensed products and services. In addition to helping our customers determine the best software solutions for their needs, we help them manage their software agreements, including warranties and renewals. A significant portion of our advertising and marketing expenses are reimbursed through cooperative advertising programs with our vendor partners. These programs are at the discretion of our vendor partners and are typically tied to sales or other commitments to be met by us within a specified period of time.

Trends and Key Factors Affecting our Financial Performance

We believe the following key factors may have a meaningful impact on our business performance, influencing our ability to generate sales and achieve our targeted financial and operating results:

General economic conditions are a key factor affecting our results as they impact our customers' willingness to spend on information technology. This is particularly the case for our Corporate and Small Business customers, as their purchases tend to reflect confidence in their business prospects, which are driven by their discrete perceptions of business and general economic conditions. Additionally, changes in trade policy and product constraints from suppliers could have an adverse impact on our business. There continues to be substantial uncertainty regarding the impact of the UK's planned withdrawal from the European Union ("EU") (referred to as "Brexit"). Potential adverse consequences of Brexit such as global market uncertainty, volatility in currency exchange rates, greater restrictions on imports and exports between UK and EU countries and increased regulatory complexities could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To date, CDW UK ishas not ~~seeing~~experienced significant changes in the buying behavior of its customers even with the uncertainty related to the timing and terms of Brexit. We have established a presence on the continent to support CDW UK's broader growth opportunities in the EU. This also serves as a contingency plan to address future developments as needed around Brexit.

Changes in spending policies, budget priorities and funding levels are a key factor influencing the purchasing levels of government, healthcare and education customers.

Technology trends drive customer purchasing behaviors in the market. Current technology trends are focused on delivering greater flexibility and efficiency, as well as designing IT securely. These trends are driving customer adoption of solutions such as those delivered via cloud, software defined architectures and hybrid on-premise and off-premise combinations, as well as the evolution of the IT consumption model to more "as-a-service" offerings, including Device-as-a-Service ("DaaS") and managed services.

Key Business Metrics

We monitor a number of financial and non-financial measures and ratios on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business and make adjustments as necessary. Effective January 1, 2019, we made a change to the Non-GAAP financial measures that we use to provide meaningful methods of evaluating our financial performance and have replaced EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin with Non-GAAP operating income and Non-GAAP operating income margin. We made this change due to the continuing evolution of the IT consumption model. We believe Non-GAAP operating income will be more reflective of the costs of providing services to our customers and our own costs as the consumption model continues to evolve. Non-GAAP operating income is also being used for the first time in 2019 as a key business metric for our annual incentive compensation programs.

In addition to Non-GAAP operating income and Non-GAAP operating income margin, we believe that the most important financial and non-financial measures and ratios include average daily sales, gross margin, operating margin, Net income, Non-GAAP income before income taxes, Non-GAAP net income, Net income per ~~common~~diluted share, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, free cash flow, return on working capital, Cash and cash equivalents, net working capital, cash conversion cycle (defined to be days of sales outstanding in Accounts receivable and certain receivables due from vendors plus days of supply in ~~Inventory~~Merchandise inventory minus days of purchases outstanding in Accounts payable and Accounts payable-inventory financing, based on a rolling three-month average), debt levels including available credit, sales per coworker and coworker turnover. These measures and ratios are compared to standards or objectives set by management, so that actions can be taken, as necessary, in order to achieve the standards and objectives.

In this ~~Form 10-Q,~~report, we discuss Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP income before income taxes and Non-GAAP net income, which are non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe these measures provide analysts, investors and management with helpful information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business, as they remove the impact of items that management believes are not reflective of underlying operating performance. Management uses these measures to evaluate period-over-period performance as management believes they provide a more comparable measure of the underlying business. For the definitions of Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP income before income taxes and Non-GAAP net income and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see "Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations."

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $78 million, or 11.2%, to $774 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $696 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. As a percentage of Net sales, Gross profit margin increased 10 basis points to 16.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit margin was positively impacted by an increase in the mix of netted down revenues that are booked net of costs of goods sold, such as warranties and Software-as-a-Service. This was partially offset by year-over-year Net sales growth out-pacing the year-over-year growth in partner funding.

Operating income

During the first quarter of 2019, we evaluated our methodology for allocating certain depreciation and amortization expenses to each of our segments. The evaluation resulted in a revision to the allocation of depreciation and amortization expenses from Headquarters to our reportable segments, effective January 1, 2019. The prior period results have been recast to reflect these changes and present comparable information.

Operating income by segment, in dollars and as a percentage of Net sales, and the year-over-year percentage change are as follows:

The effective tax rate for the same period of the prior year was 23.4%2018 and differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state ~~and local~~ income taxes partially offset by excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.

The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily attributable to higher excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation and a discrete tax benefit of $3 million related to CDW Canada's acquisition of Scalar.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations

We have included reconciliations of Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP income before income taxes, Non-GAAP net income and Net sales growth on a constant currency basis for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018 below.

Non-GAAP operating income excludes, among other things, charges related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, equity-based compensation and the associated payroll taxes, and acquisition and integration expenses. Non-GAAP operating income margin is defined as Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of Net sales. Non-GAAP income before income taxes, and Non-GAAP net income exclude, among other things, charges related to acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, and the associated tax effects of each. Net sales growth on a constant currency basis is defined as Net sales growth excluding the impact of foreign currency translation on net sales compared to the prior period.

Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP income before income taxes, Non-GAAP net income and Net sales growth on a constant currency basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance or financial position that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used by management may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

contributed to our Net sales growth. For additional details, see Note 12 (Segment Information) to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Corporate segment Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $321 million, or 9.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. On an average daily sales basis, Corporate segment Net sales increased 10.6%. Growth was primarily driven by client devices, software and NetComm.

Small Business segment Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $76 million, or 11.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. On an average daily sales basis, Small Business segment Net sales increased 12.4%. Growth was primarily driven by client devices.

Public segment Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $305 million, or 10.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. On an average daily sales basis, Public segment Net sales increased 11.5%. The increase was primarily driven by growth in Government and Healthcare. On an average daily sales basis, Net sales to Government and Healthcare customers increased 17.9% and 11.1%, respectively, both primarily driven by client devices, NetComm and software. Net sales in Education increased 6.7% on an average daily sales basis, primarily driven by video and client devices.

Net sales in Other, which is comprised of results from our UK and Canadian operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $94 million, or 9.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. On an average daily sales basis, Net sales in Other increased 10.5%. Both operations grew in local currency and Canada growth included the incremental Net sales from Scalar. The impact of foreign currency exchange decreased Other sales growth by approximately 610 basis points, due to the unfavorable impact resulting from the British pound and Canadian dollar to US dollar translations.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $146 million, or 11.3%, to $1,446 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1,300 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As a percentage of Net sales, Gross profit margin increased 10 basis points to 16.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit margin was positively impacted by an increase in the mix of netted down revenues that are booked net of costs of goods sold, such as warranties and Software-as-a-Service.

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $80 million, or 10.8%, to $824 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $744 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by higher payroll expenses due to higher sales payroll expenses, including sales commissions, which are primarily driven by higher gross profit, the inclusion of Scalar expenses, and performance-based compensation consistent with higher attainment against goals.

As a percentage of total Net sales, Selling and administrative expenses increased 10 basis points to 9.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 9.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Total operating margin percentage increased 20 basis points to 6.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 6.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to product margin improvement.

Corporate segment Operating income was $292 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $29 million, or 11.2%, compared to $263 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Corporate segment Operating income increased primarily due to higher gross profit dollars partially offset by higher payroll expenses. Corporate segment operating margin percentage increased 10 basis points to 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 8.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to an increase in the mix of netted down revenues that are booked net of costs of goods sold.

Small Business segment Operating income was $51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $5 million, or 10.4%, compared to $46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Small Business segment Operating income increased primarily due to higher gross profit dollars partially offset by higher payroll expenses. Small Business segment operating margin percentage remained flat at 7.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Public segment Operating income was $206 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $24 million, or 13.1%, compared to $182 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Public segment Operating income increased primarily due to higher gross profit dollars, partially offset by higher sales payroll expenses. Public segment operating margin percentage increased 20 basis points to 6.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 6.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to product margin improvement and an increase in the mix of netted down revenues that are booked net of costs of goods sold, partially offset by higher payroll expenses.

Other Operating income was $45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $3 million, or 7.8%, compared to $42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Other Operating income increased primarily due to higher gross profit dollars, partially offset by higher payroll expenses and the unfavorable translation of the British pound and Canadian dollar to US dollar. Other operating margin percentage decreased 10 basis points to 4.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily driven by higher payroll expenses, partially offset by gross margin improvement and lower intangible asset amortization as a percentage of Net sales.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $103 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $96 million for the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate, expressed by calculating the income tax expense as a percentage of Income before income

Table of Contents

taxes, was 22.8% and 24.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes partially offset by excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.

The lower effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily attributable to higher excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation and a discrete tax benefit related to CDW Canada's acquisition of Scalar.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations

Non-GAAP operating income

Non-GAAP operating income was $646 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $63 million, or 10.7%, compared to $583 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Seasonality

While we have not historically experienced significant seasonality throughout the year, sales in our Corporate segment, which primarily serves US private sector business customers with more than 250 employees, are typically higher in the fourth quarter than in other quarters due to customers spending their remaining technology budget dollars at the end of the year. Additionally, sales in our Public segment have historically been higher in the third quarter than in other quarters primarily due to the buying patterns of the federal government and education customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our operations and capital expenditures with internally generated cash from operations. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, we also have ~~$938~~$973 million of availability for borrowings under our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility and an additional £50 million ($6563 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019) under the CDW UK revolving credit facility. Our liquidity and borrowing plans are established to align with our financial and strategic planning processes and ensure we have the necessary funding to meet our operating commitments, which primarily include the purchase of inventory, payroll and general expenses. We also take into consideration our overall capital allocation strategy, which includes investment for future growth, dividend payments, acquisitions and share repurchases. We believe we have adequate sources of liquidity and funding available for at least the next year; however, there are a number of factors that may negatively impact our available sources of funds. The amount of cash generated from operations will be dependent upon factors such as the successful execution of our business plan and general economic conditions.

Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, we had total indebtedness of $3.3 billion, of which $1.6 billion was secured indebtedness. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants under our various credit agreements and indentures. For additional details, see Note 7 (Long-Term Debt) to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Inventory Financing Agreements

We have entered into agreements with certain financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of inventory from various suppliers under certain terms and conditions. These amounts are classified separately as Accounts payable-inventory financing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not incur any interest expense associated with these agreements as balances are paid when they are due. For additional details, see Note 4 (Inventory Financing Agreements) to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share Repurchase Program

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, we repurchased ~~1.9~~3.4 million shares of our common stock for ~~$177~~$332 million under the previously announced share repurchase program. For ~~more information~~additional details on our share repurchase program, see Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, business prospects, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, any potential indebtedness we may incur, restrictions imposed by applicable law, tax considerations and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock will be limited by restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions to our stockholders and on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make distributions to us, in each case, under the terms of our current and any future agreements governing our indebtedness.

(6)	The change in Other is primarily driven by an increase in the receivables from vendors due to the growth in ~~business.~~business and lower accrued compensation expense in 2019.

In order to manage our working capital and operating cash needs, we monitor our cash conversion cycle, defined as days of sales outstanding in ~~accounts~~Accounts receivable and certain receivables due from vendors plus days of supply in Merchandise inventory minus days of purchases outstanding in ~~accounts~~Accounts payable and Accounts payable-inventory financing, based on a rolling three-month average. Components of our cash conversion cycle are as follows:

(3)	Represents the rolling three-month average of the combined balance of Accounts payable-trade, excluding cash overdrafts, and Accounts payable-inventory financing at the end of the period divided by average daily Cost of sales for the same three-month period.

The cash conversion cycle ~~was~~decreased to 16 days at June 30, 2019, compared to 17 days at ~~March 31, 2019 and~~June 30, 2018. DSO, DIO and DPO increased 3, 2, 1 and 54 days, respectively, compared to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. ~~Both~~The increase in DSO was primarily driven by higher Net sales and ~~DPO are impacted by third party~~third-party services such as software as a service and warranties. These sales have an unfavorable impact on DSO as the receivable is recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis while the corresponding sales amount in the Consolidated Statement of Operations is recorded on a net basis. This also results in a favorable impact on DPO as the payable is recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets without a corresponding Cost of sales in the Statement of Operations because the cost paid to the vendor or third-party service provider is recorded as a reduction to Net sales. In addition to the impact of these services on DPO, DPO also increased due to the mix of payables with certain vendors that have longer payment terms. Additionally, ~~as described above, average inventory balances~~DIO increased ~~compared~~due to ~~2018, which led to an unfavorable impact on DIO.~~higher customer-driven and strategic stocking positions.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by ~~$72~~$85 million in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the completion of our acquisition of Scalar on February 1, 2019. Additionally, Capital expenditures were ~~$19~~$44 million and ~~$16~~$34 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to the timing of investments for improvements to our information technology systems.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by ~~$51~~$33 million in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by further leveraging our inventory financing arrangements and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, ~~and further leveraging our inventory financing arrangements,~~ which were partially offset by our share repurchases and increasing our dividends per share during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. For additional details regarding our debt activities, see Note 7 (Long-Term Debt) to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
