NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of presentation and new accounting pronouncements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly Avnet, Inc.’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company” or “Avnet”) financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.estimates and assumptions.

Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017.June 27, 2020.

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior periods and the fiscal year to date current periods to conform to the current period presentation.

NewFiscal year

The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year, and fiscal 2021 contains 53 weeks compared to fiscal 2020, which contained 52 weeks. As a result, the first nine months of fiscal 2021 ended April 3, 2021, contained 40 weeks compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2020 ended March 28, 2020, which contained 39 weeks.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2017,August 2018, the SecuritiesFASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Exchange CommissionOther— Internal-Use Software(Subtopic 350-40):Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU No. 2018-15"). ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop internal-use software. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Staff Accounting BulletinASU No. 1182016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU No. 2016-13") and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05, and ASU No. 2019-11 (collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. On June 28, 2020, the Company adopted Topic 326 using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, which increased the allowance for credit losses by $17.2 million ($14.5 million, net of tax of $2.7 million). Increases in the allowance for credit losses relate to the required change from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model, and the related change in timing of loss recognition where an allowance for credit losses is now applied at the time the asset, or pool of assets, is recognized.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“SAB 118”ASU No. 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance related to The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The Act changes existing United States tax law and includes numerous provisions that will affectease the potential burden in accounting for U.S. income taxes under ASC 740. SAB 118 allows registrantsreference rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to record provisional amounts during a one year “measurement period”. The measurement period ends upon finalization of accounting. Duringtransactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the measurement period, impacts of the Act are expectedFASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU No. 2021-01”), to be recorded at the time a reasonable estimateclarify certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for all or a portion of the effects can be made,contract modifications and provisional amounts can be recognized and adjusted as information becomes available, prepared or analyzed. SAB 118 summarizes three stages of applying the impact of the Act to be applied at each reporting period, to account for and qualitatively disclose the accounting impacts of the Act: (i) the effects of the Act for which accounting is complete; (ii) provisional amounts (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the Act where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made and therefore taxes are reflected in accordance with law prior to the enactment of the Act. See Note 8, “Income Taxes” for further discussion of the application of SAB 118 as of December 30, 2017.

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”), which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the qualification and application of the hedge accounting comparedapply to current GAAP.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). The new guidance requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost to be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization in assets. Other components of the net periodic benefit cost are to be presented separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, and the line item must be appropriately described. If a separate line item is not used, the line item used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that annual period, with early adoption permitted. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively. The new guidance primarily impacts the income statement

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The update requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months.

The company has established an implementation team inclusive of external advisors engaged to assist in evaluating potential differences compared to existing GAAP.

For the revenue streams assessed, the Company doesNo. 2018-14 is not anticipateexpected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Except for the changes below, no material changes have been made to the Company’s significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

Receivables – Receivables, predominately comprised of trade accounts and notes receivable, are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses in the timing orconsolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the receivables’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount of revenue recognized. 

The Company’s analysis and evaluation of the new standard will continue through its effective date and a substantial amount of work remains to be completed due to the complexity of the new standard, the application of judgment and the requirement for the use of estimates in applying the new standard, as well as the significant number of customers and the related terms and conditions of our contracts that must be reviewed. The Company does not currently expect significant changes in revenue recognition practices for continuing operations compared to existing GAAP.

2. Acquisitions

Premier Farnell

On October 17, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Premier Farnell Plc (“PF”), a global distributor of electronic components and related products. The cash consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $841 million, which consisted of £1.85 per share of PF common stock. Additionally, Avnet assumed $242.8 million of debt at fair value.

The PF acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date.

(“Dragon”), a provider of manufacturing logistics services to entrepreneurs.completed an asset acquisition. The impact of this asset acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations.

3. Discontinued operations and gain on sale

In February 2017, the Company completed the sale of its Technology Solutions (“TS”) business to Tech Data Corporation (the “Buyer”). Included in the gain on sale recorded upon completion of the sale were estimates for certain income taxes due on the gain and additional cash consideration expected from the Buyer related to a closing date net working capital sales price adjustment (the “closing date adjustment”). The Company is finalizing the closing date adjustment with the Buyer as provided for in the sales agreement and has included an estimate of this amount as the principal component of the $269.2 million of prepaid and other current assets as of December 30, 2017. The final closing date adjustment, as determined through the established process outlined in the sales agreement, may be materially different from the Company’s estimate. The impact of any probable changes in the closing date adjustment will be recorded as an adjustment to the gain on sale from discontinued operations in the period such change occurs. Additionally, the income taxes associated with the gain will be impacted by the final geographic allocation of the sales price, which must be agreed to with the Buyer after determination of the closing date adjustment as required in the sales agreement and may be materially different from the Company’s estimates. The impact of any changes in estimated income taxes on the gain will be recorded as an adjustment to the gain on sale from discontinued operations in the period such change in estimate occurs. The Company expects the closing date adjustment to be finalized by the end of fiscal 2018 and the income tax on the gain to be finalized during fiscal 2019.

The Company received 2.8 million shares ofhad the Buyer’s common stock at closing (the “Shares”), which has been recorded within “Marketable securities” onfollowing activity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized and realized gains orallowance for credit losses due to changes in fair value based upon Level 1 quoted active market prices of the Shares are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The sales agreement includes time based contractual restrictions related to the Company’s sale of the Shares and as such, the Company entered into economic hedges to reduce the Company’s exposure to price fluctuations of the Shares during the restricted period, which fixes the net amount that the Company will realize upon the sale of the Shares. The Company records changes in fair value related to the economic share price hedges within “Other income (expense), net”, offsetting the changes in fair value of the underlying Shares. During the six months ended December 30, 2017, the Company sold 1.4 million Shares, the net proceeds of which have been included in “Cash flows from investing activities – discontinued operations.”

In connection with the sale of the TS business, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”), pursuant to which the Buyer will pay the Company to provide certain information technology, distribution, facilities, finance and human resources related services for various periods of time depending upon the services not to exceed approximately two years from the closing date. Expenses incurred by the Company to provide such services under the TSA are classified within selling, general and administrative expenses and amounts billed to the Buyer to provide such services are classified as a reduction of such expenses. The Buyer has terminated substantially all TSA services outside of certain information technology services and all remaining TSA services are expected to be terminated by the end of fiscal 2018.

Financial results of the TS business for the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2016 are presented as “Income from discontinued operations, net of tax” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:

The Company’s reporting units passed goodwill impairment testing using a quantitative impairment model in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, however, the Company’s Electronic Components (“EC”) Americas reporting units had an estimated fair value that was not substantially in excess of its carrying value. The Company also evaluates each quarter if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of aits reporting unitunits is less than itstheir carrying value, which would require the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. Indicators that the Company evaluates to determine whether an interim goodwill impairment test is necessary include, but are not limited to, (i) a sustained decrease in share price or market capitalization as of any fiscal quarter end, (ii) changes in the macroeconomic or industry environments, (iii) the results of and the amount of time passed since the last goodwill impairment test and (iv) the long-term expected financial performance of its reporting units. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company concluded that an interim goodwill impairment test was not required.

In July 2020, the Company has anamended and extended for one year, its trade accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”“Securitization Program”) in the United States with a group of financial institutions to allow the Company to transfer, on an ongoing revolving basis, an undivided interest in a designated pool of trade accounts receivable, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $400$450 million. The Securitization Program does not qualify for off balance sheet accounting treatment and any borrowings under the Securitization Program are recorded as debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Under the Securitization Program, the Company legally sells and isolates certain U.S. trade accounts receivable into a wholly owned and consolidated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded within “Receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $730.8$683.3 million and $807.5$703.8 million at December 30, 2017,April 3, 2021 and July 1, 2017,June 27, 2020, respectively. The Securitization Program contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold. The Program also requires the Company to maintain certain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios, which the Company was in compliance with as of December 30, 2017, and July 1, 2017. The Program expires in August 2018 and as a result the Company has classified outstanding balances as short-term debt as of December 30, 2017. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paperone-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.40% with a1.05%. The facility fee on the unused balance of the facility is up to 0.40%.

8. Derivative financial instruments

Many of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies. This subjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reduces this risk by utilizing natural hedging (e.g., offsetting receivables and payables in the same foreign currency), as well as by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts typically with maturities of less than 60 days, (“economic hedges”), but no longer than one year.year (“economic hedges”). The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks to the extent they are not economically hedged. The Company adjusts any economic hedges to fair value through the consolidated statements of operations primarily within “other“Other income (expense), net.” The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts, which are based upon Level 2 criteria under the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy, are classified in the captions “other“Prepaid and other current assets” or “accrued“Accrued expenses and other,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 30, 2017,April 3, 2021, and July 1, 2017.June 27, 2020. The Company’s master netting and other similar arrangements with various financial institutions related to derivative financial instruments allow for the right of offset. The Company’s policy is to present derivative financial instruments with the same counterparty as either a net asset or liability when the right of offset exists.

9. Commitments and contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become a party to, or be otherwise involved in, various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management does not anticipate that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company is also currently subject to various pending and potential legal matters and investigations relating to compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including import/export and environmental matters.regulations. For certain of these matters, it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss, for suchparticularly with regard to matters due primarily to being in the early stages of the related proceedings and investigations.stages. The Company currently believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to its results of operations in any one reporting period.

As of December 30, 2017April 3, 2021, and July 1, 2017,June 27, 2020, the Company had aggregate estimated liabilities of $14.2$14.7 million and $18.8 million, respectively, classified within accrued expenses and other for such compliance-related matters that were reasonably estimable as of such dates.

8. Income taxes

During the second quarterfirst nine months of fiscal 2018,2021, the Company made certain estimates related to the impactrecorded a gain on legal settlement of the Act including the remeasurement$8.2 million, which is classified as a component of deferredRestructuring, integration and other expenses.

10. Income taxes at the new expected tax rates. The amounts recorded in the three months ended December 30, 2017 for the remeasurement of U.S. net deferred tax assets principally relate to the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate. The Company has provisionally recorded an expense of $11.1 million to account for these deferred tax impacts. This estimate is provisional as the Company continues to analyze the impacts of the Act, or in certain cases, U.S. Treasury is expected to issue further guidance on the application of certain provisions of the Act.

The Act includes a one-time mandatory repatriation transition tax on certain net accumulated earnings and profits of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company was not able to make a reasonable estimate of the income tax expense associated with the Company’s approximately $3.3 billion of unremitted foreign earnings as of July 1, 2017, as the required information related to each foreign subsidiaries’ unremitted foreign earnings and related foreign tax credit pools was not readily available. We expect a reasonable estimate to be recorded by the end of fiscal 2018 and the accounting for this aspect of the Act to be complete by the end of the measurement period. As of December 30, 2017, consistent with historical conclusions, the Company’s cash balances held in foreign locations are expected to be permanently reinvested outside the United States as the impact of the Act on the Company’s current position is not yet fully understood and is still under evaluation by the Company.

The Company’s effective tax rate on its income before income taxes from continuing operations was 8.6%a benefit of 53.3% in the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2018.2021. During the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2018,2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was favorably impacted primarily by (i) the tax benefit arising from the reduction in value of certain businesses for income tax purposes and (ii) decreases to valuation allowances, partially offset by (iii) increases to unrecognized tax benefit reserves.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company’s effective tax rate on its loss before taxes was a benefit of 18.6%. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company’s effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted primarily by (i) the impairment of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes, partially offset by (ii) the release of unrecognized tax benefit reserves net of settlements.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate on its income before taxes was a benefit of 32.7%. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was favorably impacted primarily by (i) the tax benefit arising from the reduction in value of certain businesses for income tax purposes, (ii) decreases to valuation allowances, and (iii) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions, partially offset by the(iv) increases to unrecognized tax expense created from remeasuring net deferred tax assets as a result of applying the requirements of the Act.  benefit reserves.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate of 46.7% was unfavorably impacted primarily by (i) net increases to valuation allowances against deferred tax assets created primarily from acquisition related expenses that were deemed unrealizable and (ii) the impact of non-deductible acquisition related expenses, partially offset by (iii) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions.

For the first sixnine months of fiscal 20182020, the Company’s effective tax rate on its incomeloss before income taxes from continuing operations was 7.0%a benefit of 26.6%. The effective tax rate for the first sixnine months of fiscal 20182020 was favorably impacted primarily by (i) the release of unrecognized tax benefit reserves net of settlements and (ii) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions, and (ii) the release of unrecognized tax benefit reserves primarily due to the negotiation of a favorable outcome in a foreign jurisdiction, partially offset by (iii) thegoodwill impairment expense that is not deductible for tax expense created from remeasuring net deferred tax assets aspurposes and (iv) a result of applying the requirements of the Act.

The Company contributed $8.0made $12.0 million to the Plans of contributions during the first sixnine months of fiscal 20182021 and expects to make an additional contributioncontributions to the PlansPlan of $8.0$4.0 million in the remainder of fiscal 2018.2021.

The Plans meet the definition of defined benefit plans and as a result, the Company applies ASC 715 pension accounting to the Plans. The Plans, however, are cash balance plans that are similar in nature to defined contribution plans in that a participant’s benefit is defined in terms of stated account balances. The cash balance plans provides the Company with the benefit of applying any earnings on the Plan’s investments beyond the fixed return provided to participants, toward the Company’s future cash funding obligations.

Amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, to operating expenses during the second quarters and the first six months of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 were not material and substantially all related to net periodic pension costs including recognition of actuarial losses and amortization of prior service credits.

In connection with the sale of the TS business, a significant number of former employees became terminated vested employees under the Plan. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the aggregate amount of former employee withdrawals from the Plan exceeded the pension accounting threshold for fiscal 2018, which required a settlement charge under ASC 715 pension accounting. As a result, the Company recognized a $14.0 million pension settlement charge before taxes in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 classified within loss from discontinued operations.

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. You can find many of these statements by looking for words like “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “estimates” or similar expressions in this Quarterly Report or in documents incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended October 3, 2020, and January 3, 2021 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, could affect the Company’s future results of operations, and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements: the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economic systems, access to financial markets and the Company’s employees, operations, customers, and supply chain; competitive pressures among distributors of electronic components; an industry down-cycle in semiconductors; relationships with key suppliers and allocations of products by suppliers; risks relating to the Company’s international sales and operations, including risks relating to the ability to repatriate cash, foreign currency fluctuations, duties and taxes, and compliance with international and U.S. laws; risks relating to acquisitions, divestitures and investments; adverse effects on the Company’s supply chain, operations of its distribution centers, shipping costs, third-party service providers, customers and suppliers, including as a result of issues caused by natural and weather-related disasters, pandemics and health related crisis, social unrest or warehouse modernization and relocation efforts; risks related to cyber-attacks, other privacy and security incidents and information systems, including related to current or future implementations, integrations or upgrades; general economic and business conditions (domestic, foreign and global) affecting the Company’s operations and financial performance and, indirectly, the Company’s credit ratings, debt covenant compliance, and liquidity and access to financing; geopolitical events, including the uncertainty caused by the United Kingdom’s exit from, and agreement for a new partnership with, the European Union; and legislative or regulatory changes affecting the Company’s businesses.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and an understanding of the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the quarter ended December 30, 2017,April 3, 2021, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended October 3, 2020, and January 2, 2021 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017.June 27, 2020. The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year and fiscal 2021 contains 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks in fiscal 2020. As a result, the first nine months of fiscal 2021 ended April 3, 2021, contained 40 weeks and the first nine months of fiscal 2020 ended March 28, 2020 contained 39 weeks. This extra week in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, impacts the year-over-year analysis in this MD&A.

There are references to the impact of foreign currency translation in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens and the stronger exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is a decrease in U.S. Dollars of reported results. Conversely, when the U.S. Dollar weakens and the weaker exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is an increase in U.S. Dollars of reported results. In the discussion that follows, results excluding this impact, primarily for subsidiaries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia/Pacific (“Asia”), are referred to as “constant currency.”

20

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

·

Sales adjusted for certain items that impact the year-over-year analysis, which includes the impact of certain acquisitions by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to include the sales of acquired businesses, as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. In addition, fiscal 2021 sales are adjusted for the estimated impact of the extra week of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 due to it being a 14-week quarter, as discussed above. Sales taking into account these adjustments are referred to as “organic sales.”

Additionally, the Company has adjusted sales for the impact of the termination of the Texas Instruments (“TI”) distribution agreement between fiscal years.

·

Operating income (loss) excluding (i) restructuring, integration and other expenses, (see Restructuring, Integration and Other Expenses in this MD&A), and (ii) amortization of acquired intangible assets and other.(iii) goodwill and long-lived asset impairment expense. Operating income excluding such amounts is referred to as “adjusted operating income.”

The reconciliation of operating income (loss) to adjusted operating income is presented in the following table:

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to readers to better assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing results with prior periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business both including and excluding these adjustments to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in many cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. However, any analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Results of Operations

Executive SummarySignificant Risks and Uncertainties

SalesThe COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, constrained work force participation, disrupted logistics and distribution systems, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. As the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and its economic impact continues to evolve globally, there is significant uncertainty related to the ultimate impact it will have on the Company’s business, its employees, results of operations and financial condition, and to what extent the Company’s actions to mitigate such impacts will be successful and sufficient. Accordingly, current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends. See the risk factors regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the secondfiscal year ended June 27, 2020 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended October 3, 2020 and January 2, 2021.

The Company did not experience any meaningful financial impact during the third quarter of fiscal 20182021 associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Executive Summary

Sales of $4.92 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 were $4.52 billion,14.1% higher than the prior year third quarter sales of $4.31 billion. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency, sales increased 10.7% as compared to sales in the prior year third quarter.

Gross profit margin of 11.6% decreased 48 basis points compared to 12.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. This decrease is primarily due to geographical market mix and, to a lesser extent, product and customer mix.

Operating income of $87.7 million was $203.4 million higher, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020. This represents an increase of 5.8% from sales for175.7%. Operating income margin was 1.8% in the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2017 of $4.27 billion.2021, as compared to a negative 2.7% operating loss margin in the prior year. The increase in sales was due to the Company’s acquisition of PF and increased sales EC’s EMEA and Asia regions, offset by sales declines in the Americas region. Sales on an organic basis in constant currency increased year over year by 1.9% with both EC and PF contributing to the increase. 

Gross profitoperating income margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 remained relatively flatwhen compared to the secondprior year third quarter is the result of fiscal 2017. EC gross profit margin decreasedthe goodwill and long-lived asset impairment expense in the prior year over year primarily due to supplier program changes, and a higher percentage of sales coming from the lower-margin Asia region. PF gross profit margin decreased year over year primarily driven by changes in customer mix.

Avnetquarter. Adjusted operating income margin was 1.9%2.3% in the secondthird quarter of fiscal 20182021 as compared with 2.9%to 1.6% in the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2017. Both periods included amortization and restructuring, integration and other expenses. Excluding these expenses from both periods,2020, an increase of 62 basis points. This increase in adjusted operating income margin was 3.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to 3.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. EC operating income margin decreased 104 basis points year over year to 3.1%is primarily due to the declineincrease in sales and reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from the Company’s cost savings initiatives, partially offset by the decrease in gross profit margin. PF operating income margin increased 105 basis points year over year to 10.0% due primarily to revenue growth and the realization of post-acquisition cost synergies.

Liquidity is subject to many factors, such as normal business operations as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, and regulatory factors that are beyond the Company’s control. This includes the potential impact on liquidity and related compliance with debt covenants as a result of the uncertain future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. To the extent the cash balances held in foreign locations cannot be remitted back to the U.S. in a tax efficient manner, those cash balances are generally used for ongoing working capital, capital expenditure needsexpenditures and to support acquisitions, and are currently expected to be permanently reinvested outside the United States. The Company is still evaluating the impact of repatriating suchother foreign cash as a result of changes in U.S. tax law from the Act, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017.business needs. In addition, local government regulations may restrict the Company’s ability to move funds among various locations under certain circumstances. Management does not believe such restrictions would limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy.

The Company continuously monitors and reviews its liquidity position and funding needs. Management believes that Avnet’s available borrowing capacity, its current cash on hand including the remaining proceeds and marketable securities from the sale of the TS business and the Company’s expected ability to generate operating cash flows in the future and available borrowing capacity, including capacity for the non-recourse sale of trade accounts receivable, will be sufficient to meet its future liquidity needs. The Company may also may issuerenew or replace expiring debt or equity securitiesarrangements in the future and management believes the Company will have adequate access to the capital markets, if needed.

The Company expectshas historically generated operating cash flows and believes it will have the ability to make material income tax payments on its unremitted foreign earnings asdo so in the future.

As a result of the impactevolving impacts of the Act. The Act requiresCOVID-19 pandemic and the related uncertain future business conditions, the Company to pay a one-time transition tax on unremitted foreign earnings (the “transition tax”), which the Company expectsis unlikely to make a policy decision to pay over an eight year period. The Company is still gathering the necessary information to make reasonable estimates for the amount of the transition tax, but the Company expects the transition tax owed will be material due to the Company’s approximately $3.3 billion of unremitted foreign earnings as of July 1, 2017. 

Historically the Company has made, and expects to continue to make,near-term strategic investments through acquisition activity to the extent the investments strengthen Avnet’s competitive position, further its business strategies and meet management’s return on capital thresholds.material acquisitions. The Company also expects to make capital expenditures, including expenditures over the next two fiscal years to implement a global ERP system. Additionally, as the Company integrates PF and restructures to transform Avnet into an electronic components focused business, the Company expects to use cash for restructuring, integration and other expenses.

In addition to continuing to make investments in acquisitions, asAs of December 30, 2017,April 3, 2021, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $459.6$469.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock through a $1.95$2.95 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors. The Company may repurchase stock from time to time at the discretion of management, subject to strategic considerations, market conditions and other factors. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice. The timingAs a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors such as share price, corporatethe corresponding need to manage liquidity and regulatory requirements, and prevailing market conditions. Additionally,leverage, the Company currently expects to payhas temporarily suspended share repurchases.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company seeks to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements that are intended to provide an economic hedge against all or a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. The Company continues to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not economically hedged.

29


See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017,June 27, 2020, for further discussion of market risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Avnet’s exposure to such risks has not changed materially since July 1, 2017,June 27, 2020, as the Company continues to economically hedge the majority of its foreign currency exchange exposures. Thus, any increase or decrease in fair value of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts is generally offset by an opposite effect on the related economically hedged position. For interest rate risk, the Company continues to maintain a combination of fixed and variable rate debt to mitigate the exposure to fluctuationfluctuations in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to market price risk related to marketable securities is mitigated through the purchase of a derivative financial instrument that economically fixes the value of the marketable securities. 

See Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financing Transactions appearing in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of the Company’s financing transactions and capital structure. As of December 30, 2017,  86%April 3, 2021, approximately 100% of the Company’s debt bears interest at a fixed rate and 14%a very insignificant percentage of the Company’s debt bears interest at variable rates. Therefore, a hypothetical 1.0% (100 basis points) increase in interest rates would result in a $0.6 millionan insignificant decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2018.2021.

Legal Proceedings

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

As a result primarily of certain former manufacturing operations, Avnet has incurred and may have future liability under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing pollution and exposure to, and the handling, storage and disposal of, hazardous substances. For example, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and similar state laws, Avnet is and may be liable for the costs of cleaning up environmental contamination on or from certain of its current or former properties, and at off-site locations where the Company disposed of wastes in the past. Such laws may impose joint and several liability. Typically, however, the costs for clean up at such sites are allocated among potentially responsible parties based upon each party’s relative contribution to the contamination, and other factors.

Pursuant to SEC regulations, including but not limited to Item 103 of Regulation S-K, the Company regularly assesses the status of and developments in pending environmental and other compliance related legal proceedings to determine whether any such proceedings should be identified specifically in this discussion of legal proceedings, and has concluded that no particular pending legal proceeding requires public disclosure. Based on the information known to date, management believes that the Company has appropriately accrued in its consolidated financial statements for its share of the estimable costs of environmental and other compliance related matters.

The Company is also currently subject to various pending and potential legal matters and investigations relating to compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including import/export and environmental matters.regulations. The Company currently believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity but could possibly be material to its results of operations in any one reporting period.
