 Arrow Electronics Posts Second Quarter Results Ahead of Wall Street Consensus
                     --- Strong Cash Flow And Earnings ---


    MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2005--Arrow Electronics,
Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today reported second quarter 2005 net income of $58.4
million ($.50 and $.48 per share on a basic and diluted basis,
respectively) on sales of $2.77 billion, compared with net income of
$66.9 million ($.58 and $.55 per share on a basic and diluted basis,
respectively) on sales of $2.68 billion in the second quarter of 2004.
Cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2005 was $63.1
million, compared to a use of cash of $37.5 million in the second
quarter of 2004. The company's results for 2005 and 2004 include a
number of items that impact their comparability. A description of
these items is provided below together with a reconciliation under the
heading "Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information". Excluding those
items, net income for the quarter ended July 1, 2005 would have been
$65.4 million ($.56 and $.54 per share on a basic and diluted basis,
respectively) and net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 would
have been $69.2 million ($.60 and $.57 per share on a basic and
diluted basis, respectively). Wall Street consensus, as reported by
First Call, was $.51 per share.
    Consolidated operating income of $123.6 million, excluding the
items impacting comparability, was up 11% from $110.9 million in the
first quarter. Operating income as a percentage of sales, excluding
the previously mentioned items impacting comparability, increased by
40 basis points sequentially and decreased 20 basis points
year-on-year.
    "We again delivered strong results as we continue to execute on
our strategies to drive sales growth and greater operating
efficiencies," said William E. Mitchell, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Arrow. "Our initiatives to streamline our organization,
leverage our cost structure, and efficiently manage working capital
continue to drive strong operating results and cash flow," added Mr.
Mitchell.
    Worldwide components sales of $2.08 billion were essentially flat
with the first quarter and up 2% from last year's second quarter. "The
North American and Asia/Pacific components businesses posted solid
sequential growth in sales and earnings", said Mr. Mitchell, "while in
Europe operating performance improved despite the traditional seasonal
decline in sales."
    Worldwide computer products sales of $691 million advanced 9% both
sequentially and year-over-year. "Our North American Computer Products
business again posted record sales, advancing 12% over both this
year's first quarter and last year's second quarter," added Mr.
Mitchell. "This marked our North American Computer Products business'
16th consecutive quarter of year-on-year growth in operating income."
    The company's results for the second quarter of 2005 and 2004
include a number of items outlined below that impact their
comparability:

    --  The company announced, during the first quarter of 2005, that
        it would be taking additional actions to better optimize the
        use of its mainframe, reduce real estate costs, be more
        efficient in its distribution centers, and to be more
        productive. These actions are expected to reduce costs by
        approximately $50 million per annum with $40 million to be
        realized in 2005. Approximately $9 million of the expected
        2005 cost reduction was achieved in the second quarter. The
        estimated net charges associated with these actions are
        expected to total approximately $7.5 million. In the second
        quarter of 2005, $4.8 million ($2.9 million net of related
        taxes or $.02 per share) of these charges were recorded.

    --  During the second quarter of 2005, the company repurchased,
        through a series of transactions, $80.8 million accreted value
        of its zero coupon convertible debentures due in 2021, which
        could have been initially put to the company in February 2006
        ("convertible debentures"). The related loss on the
        repurchase, including the premium paid and the write-off of
        related deferred financing costs, aggregated $1.7 million
        ($1.0 million net of related taxes or $.01 per share).

    --  At July 1, 2005, the company determined that an
        other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of an
        investment occurred, and, accordingly, the company recorded a
        loss on the write-down of an investment of $3.0 million ($.03
        per share) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
        Board Statement No. 115 and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
        No. 03-1.

    --  During the second quarter of 2004, the company recorded a
        restructuring gain of $1.2 million ($1.9 million net of
        related taxes or $.02 and $.01 per share on a basic and
        diluted basis, respectively).

    --  During the second quarter of 2004, the company repurchased,
        through a series of transactions, $141.7 million accreted
        value of its convertible debentures. The related loss on the
        repurchase, including the premium paid and the write-off of
        related deferred financing costs, aggregated $7.1 million
        ($4.2 million net of related taxes or $.04 and $.03 per share
        on a basic and diluted basis, respectively).

    "The components markets remain stable. Lead times are short,
product is readily available, and customer ordering patterns have
remained relatively consistent for several quarters", said Paul J.
Reilly, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We expect
to see normal seasonality as we enter the third quarter. Based upon
all of the information known to us today, we expect third quarter
revenues to be between $2.65 billion and $2.75 billion with earnings
per share on a diluted basis, excluding charges, in the range of $.49
to $.53 per share," said Mr. Reilly.
    "We once again improved upon our industry leading levels of
earnings, profitability and return on investment by our strategy of
outperforming the market, operational excellence, continuous process
improvement, and greater financial stability," said Mr. Mitchell, "and
we remain committed to creating greater levels of value for our
shareholders."

    SIX MONTH RESULTS

    Arrow's net income for the first six months of 2005 was $115.6
million ($.99 and $.96 per share on a basic and diluted basis,
respectively) on sales of $5.5 billion, compared with net income of
$96.4 million ($.87 and $.82 per share on a basic and diluted basis,
respectively) on sales of $5.3 billion in the first six months of
2004.
    Net income for the first six months of 2005 includes the
aforementioned restructuring charges, write-down of an investment, and
charge associated with the loss on prepayment of debt. Additionally,
during the first quarter of 2005, restructuring charges of $4.1
million ($2.6 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share) related
to the aforementioned actions to be more efficient and productive, a
loss on prepayment of debt of $.4 million ($.2 million net of related
taxes) on the repurchase of $13.2 million accreted value of its
convertible debentures, and an acquisition indemnification credit of
$1.7 million ($1.3 million net of related taxes or $.01 per share on a
basic basis) were recorded. Net income for the first six months of
2004 includes the aforementioned restructuring gain and charges
associated with the loss on prepayment of debt. Additionally, during
the first quarter of 2004, restructuring charges of $8.8 million ($6.5
million net of related taxes or $.06 and $.05 per share on a basic and
diluted basis, respectively) were recorded. Also, the company
repurchased, through a series of transactions, $250.0 million
principal amount of its 8.7% senior notes due in October 2005 and
$91.9 million accreted value of its convertible debentures. As a
result of these repurchases, a loss on prepayment of debt of $23.7
million ($14.2 million net of related taxes or $.13 and $.12 per share
on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) was recorded in the first
quarter of 2004. Excluding these items, net income would have been
$124.1 million ($1.06 and $1.03 per share on a basic and diluted
basis, respectively) and $119.4 million ($1.08 and $1.01 per share on
a basic and diluted basis, respectively) for the first six months of
2005 and 2004,respectively.

    Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information

    In addition to disclosing results that are determined in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the
company provides certain non-GAAP financial information relating to
operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted
share, each as adjusted for certain charges, credits and losses that
the company believes impact the comparability of its results of
operations. These charges, credits and losses arise out of the
company's acquisitions of other companies, the company's efficiency
enhancement initiatives, the prepayment of debt, and the write-down of
an investment. Reconciliations of the company's non-GAAP financial
information to GAAP are set forth in the table below.
    The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is
useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the
company's operating performance and underlying trends in the company's
business because management considers the charges, credits and losses
referred to above to be outside the company's core operating results.
This non-GAAP financial information is among the primary indicators
management uses as a basis for evaluating the company's financial and
operating performance. In addition, the company's Board of Directors
may use this non-GAAP financial information in evaluating management
performance and setting management compensation.
    The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information
is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or
alternative to, operating income, net income and net income per basic
and diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Analysis of
results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement
to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.
