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 ofPreparing 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 aredo not necessarily indicative ofindicate 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, 2017.3, 2021.

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior periods and theFiscal year

The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year, and fiscal 2022 contains 52 weeks compared to date current periods to conformfiscal 2021, which contained 53 weeks. As a result, the first quarter of fiscal 2022, contained 13 weeks compared to the current period presentation.first quarter of fiscal 2021, which contained 14 weeks.

NewRecently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2017,2019, the SecuritiesFASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU No. 2019-12”), which simplifies the income tax accounting, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, and Exchange Commissionclarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. Most amendments within ASU No. 2019-12 are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently issued Staff Accounting Bulletinaccounting pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 1182020-04, 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 GAAP 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 compared to current GAAP. This update isapply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. Both ASU No. 2020-04 and ASU No. 2021-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning afterupon issuance through December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impacteffects of adopting the adoptionprovisions of ASU 2017-12No. 2020-04 and ASU No. 2021-01, but does not currently expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”). The update amends accounting guidance for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory to require the recognition of income tax consequences when the transfer occurs. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach should be applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-16 on its consolidated financial statements.

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. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended (“ASU 2014-09”), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principles of ASU 2014-09 are to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Application of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 is expected to require more judgment and estimates within the revenue recognition process compared to existing GAAP. ASU 2014-09 is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company expects to adopthad the requirements of ASU 2014-09 using retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period presented. The company has established an implementation team inclusive of external advisors engaged to assist in evaluating potential differences compared to existing GAAP. The Company has identified its revenue streams and is currently assessing each stream for potential impacts from the adoption of ASU 2014-09. For the revenue streams assessed, the Company does not anticipate a material impactfollowing activity in the timing or amount of revenue recognized. 

The Company’s analysis and evaluation ofallowance for credit losses during 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 Innovation

In August 2017, the Company acquired Dragon Innovation, Inc. (“Dragon”), a provider of manufacturing logistics services to entrepreneurs. The impact of this 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 endfirst quarters of fiscal 20182022 and the income tax on the gain to be finalized during fiscal 2019.2021:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

The Company received 2.8 million shares of the Buyer’s common stock at closing (the “Shares”), which has been recorded within “Marketable securities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized and realized gains or 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 a reporting unit is less than its 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, (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.AVNET, INC.

In August 2021, the Company has anamended and extended for two years its trade accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”“Securitization Program”) in the United States with a group of financial institutions to allowinstitutions. The Securitization Program allows 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$772.1 million and $807.5$717.4 million at December 30, 2017,October 2, 2021, and July 1, 2017,3, 2021, 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 a0.75%. The facility fee of 0.40%.

Many of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies. Thiscurrencies, which subjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reducesuses economic hedges to reduce this risk by utilizing natural hedging (e.g.(i.e., offsetting receivables and payables in the same foreign currency) as well as byand creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments primarily(primarily forward foreign exchange contracts typically with maturities of less than 60 days, (“economic hedges”), but no longer than one year.year). 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 income (expense),“Other 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,October 2, 2021, and July 1, 2017.3, 2021. 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.

7. 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 regarding 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 onesingle reporting period.

As of December 30, 2017October 2, 2021, and July 1, 2017,3, 2021, the Company had aggregate estimated liabilities of $14.2$14.7 million classified within accrued expenses and other for such compliance-related matters that were reasonably estimable as of such dates.

8. Income taxes

During the secondfirst quarter 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.

8. 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%23.2% in the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2018.2022. During the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2018,2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was favorablyunfavorably impacted primarily by the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions, partially offset by the tax expense created from remeasuring net deferred tax assets as a result of applying the requirements of the Act.  increases to valuation allowances.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate 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)(i) the release of unrecognized tax benefit reserves and (ii) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions.

For the first six months of fiscal 2018 the Company’s effective tax rate on its income before income taxes from continuing operations was 7.0%.

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.

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and an understanding of Avnet and the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the quarter ended December 30, 2017,October 2, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017.3, 2021. The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year and fiscal 2022 contains 52 weeks compared to 53 weeks in fiscal 2021. As a result, the first quarter of fiscal 2022 contained 13 weeks and the first quarter of fiscal 2021 contained 14 weeks. This extra week in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 impacts the year-over-year analysis in this MD&A.

There areThe discussion of the Company’s results of operations includes references to the impact of foreign currency translation in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations.translation. 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 impactresult 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 denominatedresult 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.”

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. Additionally, the Company has adjusted sales for the impact of the termination of the Texas Instruments (“TI”) distribution agreement between fiscal years. Sales taking into account these adjustments are referred to as “organic sales.”

·

Operating income 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 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.

Gross profit margin remained relatively flat withincreased to 11.8% (or 88 basis points) from the year ago second quarter.   

ECfirst quarter of fiscal 2021 gross profit margin decreased year over year primarily due to supplier program changes and a sales mix shift to the lower-margin Asia region. Asia sales represented 42% of the total EC sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared with 40% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. PF gross profit margin decreased year over year primarily10.9%, driven by customer mix.

Gross profit and gross profit margins were $1.22 billion and 13.2%, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2018 as compared with $1.11 billion and 13.2%, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2017. Decreases in EC’s gross profit margin due to supplier program changes were offset by increases in gross profit margin in both operating groups. The increases in gross profit margin in both operating groups are primarily due to strong demand for electronic components that resulted in a favorable pricing environment, partially offset by unfavorable geographic region sales mix.

Restructuring, Integration, and Other Expenses

As a result of the aforementioned supplier channel and program changes, the focus on lowering overall operating costs, and the integration of PF, the Company has incurred certain restructuring costs. In addition, the Company incurred integration, accelerated depreciation, acquisition/divestiture and other costs. Integration costs are primarily related to the integration of acquired businesses including PF, the integration of certain regional and global businesses including Avnet after the TS divestiture,  and incremental costs incurred as part of the consolidation, relocation, and closure of warehouse and office facilities. Accelerated depreciation relates to the incremental depreciation expense incurred related to the shortening of the estimated useful life of the Company’s enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system in the Americas compared to depreciation expense based on the original useful life of such ERP system as such ERP system is in the process of being replaced. Acquisition/divestiture costs consist primarily of professional fees and other costs incurred related to the acquisition, divestiture and closure of businesses including the acquisition of PF and the divestiture of TS. Other costs consist primarily of any other miscellaneous costs that relate to restructuring, integration and other expenses.

Financing Transactions

See Note 5,4, “Debt” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on financing transactions including the Credit Facility, the Securitization Program, and other outstanding debt as of December 30, 2017.October 2, 2021. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and the Securitization Program as of December 30, 2017.October 2, 2021, and July 3, 2021.

The Company has various lines of credit, financing arrangements, and other forms of bank debt in the U.S. and various foreign locations to fund the short-term working capital, foreign exchange, overdraft, and letter of credit needs of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Avnet generally guarantees its subsidiaries’ obligations under such debt facilities. Outstanding borrowings under such forms of debt at the end of secondfirst quarter of fiscal 20182022 was $0.9$116.7 million.

LiquidityAs an alternative form of financing outside of the United States, the Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to first-party financial institutions pursuant to factoring agreements. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and presents cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Factoring fees for the sales of trade accounts receivable are recorded within “Interest and other financing expenses, net” and were not material.

Liquidity

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $589.5$299.1 million as of December 30, 2017,October 2, 2021, of which $568.7$236.5 million was held outside the United States.

As of the end of the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2018,2022, the Company had a combined total borrowing capacity of $1.65$1.70 billion under the Credit Facility and the Securitization Program. There were no$115.9 million in borrowings outstanding and $2.0$1.2 million in letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, and $220.0$82.2 million in borrowings outstanding under the Securitization Program, resulting in approximately $1.37$1.48 billion of total availability as of December 30, 2017.October 2, 2021. Availability under the Securitization Program is subject to the Company having sufficient eligible trade accounts receivable in the United States to support desired borrowings. The Company currently expects to utilize availability under credit facilities to support working capital and other general corporate purposes to the extent such incremental borrowings do not impact the Company’s investment grade credit rating.

During the secondfirst quarter and first six months of fiscal 2018,2022, the Company had an average daily balance outstanding of approximately $0.1$353.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, under the Credit Facility and approximately $225.0$139.4 million and $195.0 million, respectively, under the Program.

Liquidity is subject to many factors, such as normal business operations as well asand general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, and regulatory factors that are beyond the Company’s control. 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 continually 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 as a resultdo so in the future.

As of the impact of the Act. The Act requires the Company to pay a one-time transition tax on unremitted foreign earnings (the “transition tax”), which the Company expects 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, 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. 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, as of December 30, 2017,October 2, 2021, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $459.6$458.5 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 timing and actual numberDuring the first quarter of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors such as share price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and prevailing market conditions. Additionally,fiscal 2022, the Company currently expects to payrepurchased $10.5 million of common stock.

The Company has historically paid quarterly cash dividends on shares of its common stock, and future dividends are subject to approval ofby the Board of Directors. During the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2018,2022, the Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.18$0.24 per share, which resulted in $21.6$23.9 million of dividend payments during the quarter.

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, 2017,3, 2021, 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, 2017,3, 2021, 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,October 2, 2021, approximately 86% of the Company’s debt bears interest at a fixed rate and 14% 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$0.5 million decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2018.2022.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

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.legal proceedings.

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. 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 onesingle reporting period.
