NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the “company”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at, and for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Quarter End

The company operates on a quarterly calendar that closes on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, except for the fourth quarter, which closes on December 31, 2024.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on previously reported amounts.

Note B – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). Upon adoption of ASU 2023-09, the company will disclose specific new categories in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items above a quantitative threshold. The company will also disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid were above a threshold. The company expects these amendments will first be applied in the company’s annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, on a prospective basis.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Upon adoption of ASU 2023-07, the company will disclose significant segment expenses, the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and an explanation of how the reported measure of segment profit or loss is used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make resource allocation decisions. These amendments will first be applied in the company’s annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and will be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

EMEA Asset Securitization

The company has an EMEA asset securitization program under which it continuously sells its interest in designated pools of trade accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries in the EMEA region at a discount to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions and conduits administered by such unaffiliated financial institutions (“unaffiliated financial institutions”) on a monthly basis. The company may sell up to €600.0 million under the EMEA asset securitization program, which matures in December 2025, subject to extension in accordance with its terms. In February 2024, the company amended provisions in the EMEA asset securitization program to update certain financial ratios. The program is conducted through Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V., an entity structured to be bankruptcy remote. The company is deemed the primary beneficiary of Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. as the company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivable into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. is included in the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Sales of accounts receivable to unaffiliated financial institutions under the EMEA asset securitization program:


	Quarter Ended
	March 30,		April 1,
(thousands)	2024		2023
EMEA asset securitization, sales of accounts receivable	$	539,880	$	817,833

Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are excluded from “Accounts receivable, net” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets, and cash receipts are reflected in the “Cash provided by operating activities” section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The purchase price is paid in cash when the receivables are sold. Certain unsold receivables held by Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. are pledged as collateral to unaffiliated financial institutions. These unsold receivables are included in “Accounts receivable, net” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The company continues servicing the receivables which were sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under the program. The company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the company’s consolidated balance sheets as the company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.

Other amounts related to the EMEA asset securitization program:


	March 30,		December 31,
(thousands)	2024		2023
Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions that were uncollected	$	425,240	$	529,266
Collateralized accounts receivable held by Arrow EMEA funding Corp B.V.		911,615		805,788

Any accounts receivable held by Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings if there are outstanding balances under the EMEA asset securitization program. The assets of the special purpose entity cannot be used by the company for general corporate purposes. Additionally, the financial obligations of Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. to the unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are limited to the assets it owns and there is no recourse to Arrow Electronics, Inc. for receivables that are uncollectible as a result of an account debtor’s insolvency or inability to pay.

The EMEA asset securitization program includes terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. As of March 30, 2024, the company was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

Factoring

In the normal course of business, certain of the company’s subsidiaries have factoring agreements to sell, with limited or no recourse, selected trade accounts receivable to financial institutions and accounts for these transactions as sales of the related receivables. The receivables are excluded from “Accounts receivable, net” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets and cash receipts are reflected as “Cash provided by operating activities” on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The company typically does not retain financial or legal interests in these receivables. Factoring fees for the sales of accounts receivables are included in “Interest and other financing expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. The company continues servicing the receivables which were sold.

Sales of trade accounts receivable under the company’s factoring programs:

Note F – Supplier Finance Programs

At the request of certain of the company’s suppliers, the company has entered into agreements (“supplier finance programs”) with third-party finance providers, which facilitate the participating suppliers’ ability to sell their receivables from the company to the third-party financial institutions, at the sole discretion of the suppliers. For agreeing to participate in these programs, the company seeks to secure improved standard payment terms with its suppliers. The company is not involved in negotiating terms of the arrangements between its suppliers and the financial institutions and has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements, or sell receivables from the company. The company’s rights and obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under the arrangements. However, the company agrees to make all payments to the third-party financial institutions, and the company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by the agreements for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. As of March 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the company had $899.4 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, in obligations outstanding under these programs included in “Accounts payable” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets and all activity related to the obligations is presented within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

(a)

Upon issuance of the 6.125% notes due March 2026, the company entered into an interest rate swap, which effectively converted the 6.125% notes to floating rate notes based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) + 0.508%, or an effective interest rate of 5.83% as of March 30, 2024. In March 2024, the company received a notice from the swap counterparty to terminate the swap without penalty. The effective date of cancellation was April 1, 2024. Refer to Note H.

(b)	In April 2024, the company completed the sale of $500.0 million principal amount of 5.875% notes due April 2034. The net proceeds of the offering of $498.6 million were used for general corporate purposes and to repay the $500.0 million principal amount of its 6.125% notes due March 2026.

The 7.50% senior debentures are not redeemable prior to their maturity. All other notes may be called at the option of the company subject to “make whole” clauses with the exception of the 6.125% notes which were called at par in April 2024.

The estimated fair market value of long-term debt, using quoted market prices, is as follows:


	March 30,		December 31,
(thousands)	2024		2023
4.00% notes, due 2025	$	344,500	$	343,500

2.95% notes, due 2032		420,000		425,000

The carrying amount of the company’s other short-term borrowings, uncommitted lines of credit, revolving credit facility, 3.25% notes due in 2024, North American asset securitization program, commercial paper, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

The company has a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing in September 2026. The facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term indebtedness, acquisitions, and as support for the company’s commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or SOFR, plus a spread (1.08% at March 30, 2024), which is based on the company’s credit ratings, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% or an effective interest rate of 6.44% at March 30, 2024. The facility fee, which is based on the company’s credit ratings, was 0.175% of the total borrowing capacity at March 30, 2024. The company had $50.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at March 30, 2024 and no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2023.

The company has a North American asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. The company may borrow up to $1.5 billion under the program which matures in September 2025. The program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation (“AFC”), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The North American asset securitization program does not qualify for sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate plus a spread (0.40% at March 30, 2024) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% or an effective interest rate of 6.44% at March 30, 2024. The facility fee is 0.40% of the total borrowing capacity.

The company had $625.0 million and $198.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program at March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which was included in “Long-term debt” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $2.3 billion and $2.7 billion were held by AFC and were included in “Accounts receivable, net” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets at March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Any accounts receivable held by AFC would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of the company before repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program.

Both the revolving credit facility and North American asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. As of March 30, 2024, the company was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

Interest and dividend income of $19.5 million and $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, were recorded in “Interest and other financing expense, net” within the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Note H – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The following table presents assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 30, 2024:


(thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Cash equivalents (a)	Cash and cash equivalents	$	10,689	$	—	$	—	$	10,689

		$	66,354	$	46,791	$	—	$	113,145

(a)	Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months.

(b)

The company has an 8.4% equity ownership interest in Marubun Corporation and a portfolio of mutual funds with quoted market prices. The company recorded unrealized (losses) gains of ($3.6) million and $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, on equity securities held at the end of the quarter.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (refer to Note C). The company tests these assets for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist or at least annually if indefinite-lived.

Derivative Instruments

The company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, for purposes other than trading. Certain derivative instruments are designated at inception as hedges and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps

The company manages the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuances by entering into various forward-starting interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the shareholders’ equity section in the company’s consolidated balance sheets in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and will be reclassified into income over the life of the anticipated debt issuance or in the period the hedged forecasted cash flows are deemed no longer probable to occur. Reclassified gains and losses are recorded within the line item “Interest and other financing expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of interest rate swaps are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs, including interest rate curves and credit spreads.

In June 2023, the company terminated its outstanding forward-starting interest rate swaps and received a cash payment of $56.7 million, which was reported in the “Cash flows from financing activities” section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The forecasted transactions related to the swaps continued to be probable to occur by December 31, 2025, and the $56.7 million gain on the termination of the interest rate swaps remained in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets at March 30, 2024. In April 2024, the forecasted bond issuance occurred, and the $56.7 million gain will be amortized to "Interest and other financing expense, net" in the company's consolidated statement of operations over the 10-year life of the bond.

The company occasionally enters into interest rate swap transactions, designated as fair value hedges, that convert certain fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt in order to manage its targeted mix of fixed- and floating-rate debt. For qualifying interest rate fair value hedges, gains or losses on derivatives are included in “Interest and other financing expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged is reported as an adjustment to its carrying value and is also included in “Interest and other financing expense, net”.

As of December 31, 2023, the company had one outstanding interest rate swap designated as a fair value hedge of its 6.125% notes due in March 2026, the terms of which were as follows:


		Notional Amount		Interest Rate due	Interest Rate due to
Trade Date	Maturity Date	(thousands)		from Counterparty	Counterparty
February 2023	March 2026	$	500,000	6.125%	SOFR+0.508%

The counterparty to the interest rate swap had the option to cancel the swaps after one year, without penalty. In March 2024, the counterparty cancelled the swap and the company de-designated the fair value hedging relationship.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The company’s primary exposures to such transactions are denominated primarily in the following currencies: Euro, Indian Rupee, and Chinese Renminbi. The company enters into foreign exchange forward, option, or swap contracts (collectively, the “foreign exchange contracts”) to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures resulting from inventory purchases and sales and mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions. Foreign exchange contracts generally have terms of no more than six months. The company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. The risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts is estimated using foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quotes by third-party financial institutions. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts inclusive of foreign exchange contracts designated as a net investment hedge at March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.

Gains and losses related to non-designated foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded in “Cost of sales” on the company’s consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in “Cost of sales,” “Selling, general, and administrative,” and “Interest and other financing expense, net” based upon the nature of the underlying hedged transaction, on the company’s consolidated statements of operations. Gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized when the underlying future purchase or sale is recognized or when the corresponding asset or liability is revalued, and were not material to the financial statements for the periods presented.

At March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the following foreign exchange contracts were designated as net investment hedges, hedging a portion of the company’s net investments in subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets:



Maturity Date	Notional Amount (thousands)
September 2024	EUR	50,000
April 2025	EUR	100,000
January 2028	EUR	100,000
Total	EUR	250,000

The change in the fair value of derivatives designated as net investment hedges are recorded in “foreign currency translation adjustment” (“CTA”) within “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are included in “Interest and other financing expense, net” on the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

During the first quarter of 2023, a foreign exchange contract designated as a net investment hedge matured and the company received $10.7 million, which is reported in the “Cash flows from investing activities” section of the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The effects of derivative instruments on the company’s consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income are as follows:

Note L – Contingencies

Environmental Matters

In connection with the purchase of Wyle Electronics (“Wyle”) in August 2000, the company entered into a settlement agreement under which, the company accepted responsibility for any potential subsequent costs incurred for environmental clean-up associated with any then-existing contamination or violation of environmental regulations. The company is aware of two facilities (in Huntsville, Alabama (the “Huntsville Site”) and Norco, California (the “Norco Site”)) at which contaminated soil and groundwater was identified and required environmental remediation.

As successor-in-interest to Wyle, the company is the beneficiary of various Wyle insurance policies that covered liabilities arising out of operations at Norco and Huntsville. To date, the company has recovered approximately $47.3 million from certain insurance carriers relating to environmental clean-up matters at the Norco and Huntsville sites, and continues to pursue additional recoveries from one insurer related solely to the Huntsville site. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries related to the Norco and Huntsville environmental matters, as the realization of the claims for recovery are not deemed probable at this time.

Costs are recorded for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Environmental liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses” and “Other liabilities” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. The company has determined that there is no amount within the environmental liability ranges discussed below that is a better estimate than any other amount, and therefore has recorded the accruals at the minimum amount of the ranges. The liabilities were estimated based on current costs and are not discounted. The costs related to these environmental matters (referred to as “environmental costs”) include remediation, project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities.

The company expects the liabilities associated with such ongoing remediation to be resolved over an extended period of time and the accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing and extent of remediation,

improvements in remediation technologies, orders by administrative agencies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Accordingly, the company cannot presently estimate the ultimate potential costs related to the Huntsville and Norco sites.

Environmental Matters - Huntsville

In February 2015, the company and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) finalized and executed a consent decree in connection with the Huntsville Site. Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater is complete and has been approved by ADEM. Health-risk evaluations and a Corrective Action Development Plan were approved by ADEM in 2018, opening the way for pilot testing of on-site remediation in late 2019. Due to the effectiveness of the pilot testing, the pilot testing process has been expanded and remains underway with annual application of bioremediation reagents, semi-annual groundwater monitoring, as well as data collection to direct future bioremediation injections. Approximately $8.8 million has been spent to date. The subsequent environmental costs at the site are estimated to be between $5.6 million and $17.3 million.

Environmental Matters - Norco

In October 2003, the company entered into a consent decree with Wyle Laboratories and the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (“DTSC”) in connection with the Norco Site. In September 2013, the DTSC approved the final Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) for actions in five on-site areas and one off-site area. As of 2018, the remediation measures described in the RAP had been implemented. Routine progress monitoring of groundwater and soil gas continue on-site and off-site. Approximately $83.8 million has been spent to date. The subsequent environmental costs at the site are estimated to be between $21.5 million and $37.7 million.

It is reasonably possible that the company will need to adjust the liabilities noted above for the Norco and Huntsville sites to reflect the effects of new or additional information, to the extent that such information impacts the costs, timing or duration of the required actions. Future changes in estimates of the costs, timing or duration of the required actions could have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will materially impact the company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Note M – Segment and Geographic Information

comprehensive computing solutions and services. The global ECS portfolio of computing solutions includes datacenter, cloud, security, and analytics solutions. Global ECS brings broad market access, extensive supplier relationships, scale, and resources to help its value-added resellers (“VARs”) and managed service providers (“MSPs”) meet the needs of their end-users.

As a result of the company’s philosophy of maximizing operating efficiencies through the centralization of certain functions, operating income for the reportable segments excludes unallocated corporate overhead costs, depreciation on corporate fixed assets, and restructuring, integration, and other costs, as they are not attributable to the individual reportable segments and are included in the corporate line item.

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

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes “forward-looking statements,” as the term is defined under the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are those statements which are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by forward-looking words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: unfavorable economic conditions; disruptions or inefficiencies in the supply chain; political instability; impacts of military conflict and sanctions; industry conditions; changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand; competition; other vagaries in the global components and the global enterprise computing solutions (“ECS”) markets; deteriorating economic conditions, including economic recession, inflation, tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or the availability of capital; the effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events; changes in relationships with key suppliers; increased profit margin pressure; changes in legal and regulatory matters; non-compliance with certain regulations, such as export, antitrust, and anti-corruption laws; foreign tax and other loss contingencies; breaches of security or privacy of business information; outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, or public health crises; and the company’s ability to generate positive cash flow. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in other filings the company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information in the sections below captioned “Sales”, “Gross Profit”, “Operating Expenses”, “Operating Income”, “Income Tax”, and “Net Income Attributable to Shareholders”. Refer to these sections below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable reported GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial information includes the following:

●

Non-GAAP sales (referred to as “sales on a constant currency basis”) exclude the impact of changes in foreign currencies by retranslating prior period results at current period foreign exchange rates.

●

Non-GAAP gross profit excludes inventory write downs related to the wind down of a business within the global components reportable segment (“impact of wind down to inventory”) and impact of changes in foreign currencies.

●

Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other, and the impact of changes in foreign currencies.

●

Non-GAAP operating income excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other, and impact of wind down to inventory.

●

Non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other, impact of wind down to inventory, and gain on investments, net.

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand the company’s operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management, especially when comparing results with previous periods. Management typically monitors the business as adjusted for these items, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting purposes, for short-term and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate the company’s financial performance. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. For a discussion of what is included within “Restructuring, integration, and other” and “Gain on investments, net” refer to the similarly captioned sections of this item below.

Business environment and other trends:

●

During the first quarter of 2024, the global components reportable segment continued to experience a cyclical downturn characterized by elevated customer inventory levels, and a challenging global macroeconomic environment, contributing to lower demand for the company’s products. These trends could continue throughout 2024 and the duration and severity of the current downturn are highly uncertain.

●

Customers of the company’s global ECS reportable segment continue shifting preferences away from traditional, and on-premises solutions, and towards more “as a service” and cloud-based, or hybrid, solutions. These changes in product mix impact sales as an increased proportion of the company's revenue is recorded on a net basis compared to a gross basis. Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Reportable segment sales by geographic region

Following is an analysis of the company’s reportable segment sales by geographic region:


	Quarter Ended
	March 30,				April 1,
	2024				2023

The sum of the components for sales by geographic region and consolidated sales may not agree to totals, as presented, due to rounding.

During the first quarter of 2024, global components sales decreased compared to the year-earlier period primarily due to the following impacts:

●

sales declines in the Americas region primarily due to decreased demand for most major verticals, particularly industrial and communications;

●

sales declines in the EMEA region primarily due to decreased demand for the industrial and transportation verticals;

●

sales declines in the Asia/Pacific region primarily due to decreased demand for the industrial vertical.

During the first quarter of 2024, global ECS sales decreased in both regions compared to the year-earlier period primarily due to a shift in sales mix towards products such as software as-a-service and cloud-based solutions where sales are recorded on a net basis and somewhat softer demand in the Americas region.

Substantially all of the company’s sales are made on an order-by-order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts. As such, the nature of the company’s business does not provide for the visibility of material forward-looking information from its customers and suppliers beyond a few months.

Gross Profit

Following is an analysis of the company’s consolidated gross profit:


	Quarter Ended

The sum of the components for non-GAAP gross profit may not agree to totals, as presented, due to rounding.

Table of Contents

The decrease in gross profit related primarily to declining demand and gross profit margins for the first quarter of 2024.

●

Global components gross profit margins decreased during the first quarter of 2024, compared with the year-earlier period, due to product mix shifting toward lower margin products. Global components supply chain services offerings continued to have a positive impact on gross margins.

●

Global ECS gross profit margins increased during the first quarter of 2024, compared with the year-earlier period, due to product mix shifting towards a higher proportion of revenue recognized on a net basis in the current year partially offset by softer margins in the Americas region as the company works to optimize the customer mix and supplier line card to better serve the mid-market.

Operating Expenses

Following is an analysis of the company’s consolidated operating expenses:


	Quarter Ended
	March 30,			April 1,

Non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of sales, constant currency		8.9	%		7.8	%	110	bps

The sum of the components for non-GAAP operating expenses may not agree to totals, as presented, due to rounding.

The declines in operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024, relative to the year-earlier period, were primarily related to lower variable costs, primarily sales incentives, in line with the decrease in sales discussed above, partially offset by a $44.3 million increase in restructuring, integration and other (see discussion below).

Restructuring, Integration, and Other

Restructuring initiatives and integration costs are due to the company’s continued efforts to lower costs, drive operational efficiency, integrate acquired businesses, and consolidate certain operations, as necessary. The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges as follows:

The sum of the components of consolidated operating income do not agree to totals, as presented, because unallocated corporate amounts are not included in the table above. Refer to Note M “Segment and Geographic Information” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The decrease in consolidated operating income as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 2024 relates primarily to the changes in sales and gross profit margins discussed above.

Gain on Investments, Net

Gain on investments, net is primarily related to the changes in fair value of assets related to the Arrow SERP pension plan, which consist primarily of life insurance policies and mutual fund assets, as well as changes in the fair value of the company’s investment in Marubun Corporation, refer to Note H “Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net

The company recorded net interest and other financing expense as follows:

Interest expenses were mostly flat compared to the year-earlier period. Refer to the section below titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information on changes in borrowings.

Income Tax

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. The determination of the consolidated provision for income taxes requires management to make certain judgments and estimates. Changes in the estimated level of annual pre-tax earnings, tax laws, and changes resulting from tax audits can affect the overall effective income tax rate, which impacts the level of income tax expense and net income. Judgments and estimates related to the company’s projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain, therefore, actual results could differ from projections.

Following is an analysis of the company’s consolidated effective income tax rate:


	Quarter Ended
	March 30,		April 1,
	2024		2023
Effective income tax rate	21.0	%	21.8	%
Identifiable intangible asset amortization	0.2	%	0.1	%
Restructuring, integration, and other	1.2	%	0.1	%
Impact of wind down to inventory	0.3	%	—	%
Gain on investments, net	—	%	(0.1)	%
Non-GAAP effective income tax rate	22.6	%	21.8	%

The sum of the components for non-GAAP effective income tax rate may not agree to totals, as presented, due to rounding.

The change in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the year-earlier period, is primarily due to the changes in the mix of tax jurisdictions where taxable income is generated, tax law changes, utilization of tax credits in certain jurisdictions, and liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Net Income Attributable to Shareholders

Following is an analysis of the company’s consolidated net income attributable to shareholders:


	Quarter Ended

* Identifiable intangible asset amortization excludes amortization attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

The decrease in net income attributable to shareholders in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the year-earlier period, relates primarily to changes in sales and gross margins as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that the company’s current cash availability, its current borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and asset securitization programs, and its expected ability to generate future operating cash flows are sufficient to meet its projected cash flow needs for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. The company’s current committed

Table of Contents

and undrawn liquidity stands at over $2.4 billion in addition to $242.8 million of cash on hand at March 30, 2024. The company also may issue debt or equity securities in the future and management believes the company will have adequate access to the capital markets, if needed. The company continually evaluates its liquidity requirements and would seek to amend its existing borrowing capacity or access the financial markets as deemed necessary.

The company’s principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and cash provided by its revolving credit facilities and debt. The company’s principal uses of liquidity include cash used in operations, investments to grow working capital, scheduled interest and principal payments on its borrowings, and the return of cash to shareholders through share repurchases.

The following table presents selected financial information related to liquidity:


	March 30,		December 31,
(millions)	2024		2023		Change
Working capital	$	6,919	$	7,355	$	(436)
Cash and cash equivalents		243		218		25
Short-term debt		946		1,654		(708)
Long-term debt		2,632		2,154		478

Working Capital

The company maintains a significant investment in working capital which the company defines as accounts receivable, net, plus inventories less accounts payable. The change in working capital during the first quarter of 2024, was primarily attributable to decreases in inventory.

Working capital as a percentage of sales, which is defined as working capital divided by annualized quarterly sales, increased to 25.0% for the first three months of 2024, compared to 20.6% in the year-earlier period. The increase was primarily due to lower sales.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash, with original maturities of three months or less. At March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $242.8 million and $218.1 million, respectively, of which $231.0 million and $160.0 million, respectively, were held outside the United States.

The company has $4.9 billion of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries which it deems indefinitely reinvested, and recognizes that it may be subject to additional foreign taxes and U.S. state income taxes, if it reverses its indefinite reinvestment assertion on these foreign earnings. The company also has $2.1 billion of foreign earnings that are not deemed permanently reinvested and are available for distribution in future periods as of March 30, 2024.

The company also has an EMEA asset securitization program under which it continuously sells its interest in designated pools of trade accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries in the EMEA region. Receivables sold under the program are excluded from “Accounts receivable, net” and no corresponding liability is recorded on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. During the first three months of 2024 and 2023, the average daily balance outstanding under the EMEA asset securitization program was $457.1 million and $636.4 million, respectively.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the company’s cash flows by category for the periods presented:


	March 30,		April 1,
(millions)	2024		2023		Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	403	$	224	$	179
Net cash used for investing activities		(24)		(9)		(15)
Net cash used for financing activities		(318)		(211)		(107)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The change in cash provided by operating activities during 2024, compared to the year-earlier period, related primarily to the company’s historical counter-cyclical cash flow as the company generates cash flow in periods of lower demand due to reduced investments in working capital.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first three months of 2024 and 2023 was $24.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net amount of cash used for financing activities was $317.7 million during the first three months of 2024 compared to $211.0 million used for financing activities in the year-earlier period. The change in cash used for financing activities related primarily to more repayment of debt offset partially by lower share repurchases.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 were $29.5 million and $20.1 million, respectively. The company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $90.0 million for fiscal year 2024.

Share-Repurchase Program

The company repurchased 0.8 million shares of its common stock for $100.0 million and 2.6 million shares of its common stock for $300.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, under its share-repurchase program, excluding excise taxes. During the first three months of 2024, the company accrued $0.7 million of excise tax, which is recorded within “Treasury stock” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets and reduces the share-repurchase authorization. As of March 30, 2024, approximately $475.4 million remained available for repurchase under the share-repurchase program. The share-repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and the pace of the repurchase activity will depend on factors such as the company’s working capital needs, cash requirements for acquisitions, debt repayment obligations or repurchases of debt, share price, and economic and market conditions. The share-repurchase program may be accelerated, suspended, delayed, or discontinued at any time subject to the approval of the company’s Board of Directors.

As of March 30, 2024, there were no other material changes to the contractual obligations of the company.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes to the company’s critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 30, 2024.
