“We were very pleased with our first quarter performance, in which net sales were up 11% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with earnings per share at the high end of our guidance.

Consolidated Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Results⁽¹⁾

Consolidated Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• Net sales totaled $12.3 billion, compared to $11.3 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter, representing an increase of 8.3%. The year-over-year increase includes net sales growth in our North America, Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar had an approximate 2.4% negative impact on the year-over-year net sales comparison.
• Gross profit was $828.8 million, compared to $834.9 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.
• Gross margin was 6.75%, compared to 7.37% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was driven by a shift in sales mix towards our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions offerings, a shift in customer mix more towards large enterprise customers which typically yield lower gross margins, and a shift in geographic mix towards our lower-margin, lower cost-to-serve Asia-Pacific region.
• Income from operations was $200.9 million, compared to $170.1 million in the prior fiscal first quarter. Adjusted income from operations was $229.3 million, compared to $222.5 million in the prior fiscal first quarter. The growth in income is reflective of the same mix factors noted above as our net sales were more concentrated in lower cost-to-serve business, coupled with the efficiencies garnered from prior cost reductions and automation.
• Income from operations margin was 1.64%, compared to 1.50% in the prior fiscal first quarter. Adjusted income from operations margin was 1.87% compared to 1.96% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year comparisons are reflective of a lower gross margin profile largely offset by improved operating expense leverage.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $290.8 million, compared to $290.4 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.
• Diluted EPS was $0.29, compared to $0.22 in the prior fiscal first quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.61, compared to $0.61 in the prior fiscal first quarter.
• Cash used in operations was $200.4 million, compared to $100.3 million used in operations in the prior fiscal first quarter, and adjusted free cash flow was $(159.1) million, compared to $(66.8) million in the prior fiscal first quarter, including some strategic investment in inventory ahead of potential cost increases driven by macro-economic factors.

Regional Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

North America

Net sales were $4.4 billion, compared to $4.0 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter, an increase of 9.8% compared to the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year increase in North American net sales was driven by an increase in net sales of client and endpoint solutions, led by strength in PCs and tablets, as well as growth in advanced solutions, primarily server, infrastructure software and cyber security, with a heavier concentration of these sales into large corporate and enterprise customers. Additionally, growth in both cloud-based solutions and Other services contributed to the year-over-year increase in net sales.

Income from operations was $84.4 million, compared to $59.9 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.90%, compared to 1.48% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year increase in income from operations margin was primarily due to a reduction in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net sales in the region driven by mix of business and the outcome of prior cost reduction initiatives.

EMEA

Net sales were $3.4 billion, an increase of 0.6% compared to the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year increase in EMEA net sales was primarily a result of growth in PCs, components and storage, as well as strong growth in cloud, partially offset by declines in peripherals and networking. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar had an approximate 2% negative impact on the year-over-year net sales comparison.

Income from operations was $57.3 million, compared to $49.0 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.67%, compared to 1.44% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year increase in income from operations margin was primarily due to a reduction in restructuring costs and improved operating leverage, which was partially offset by a mix shift towards our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions.

Asia-Pacific

Net sales were $3.6 billion, compared to $3.0 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter. The 20.1% increase in Asia-Pacific net sales was driven by net sales of client and endpoint solutions, led by growth in smartphones and tablets, as well as growth in advanced solutions, primarily in networking. Cloud-based solutions also grew double digits in the region. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar had an approximate 3% negative impact on the year-over-year net sales comparison.

Income from operations was $46.3 million, compared to $50.6 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.28%, compared to 1.68% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year decrease in income from operations margin was primarily the result of shift in geographic mix towards our lower-margin, lower-cost-to-serve China market, a heavier concentration of mobility sales, and a heightened competitive market in India.

Latin America

Net sales were $0.8 billion, compared to $0.9 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter. The 8.5% decrease in Latin American net sales was primarily driven by currency translation rates, which had a negative impact of 8.2% on the year-over-year comparison of net sales.

Income from operations was $23.0 million, compared to $24.5 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

Income from operations margin was 2.86%, compared to 2.78% in the prior fiscal first quarter. The year-over-year increase in income from operations margin was a result of higher gross margin achievement on net sales of both advanced solutions and cloud-based solutions, partially offset by an increase in compensation and headcount expenses. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar also had a negative impact of 17 basis points on the year-over-year comparison of the region’s operating margin.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Outlook

The following outlook is forward-looking, based on the Company’s current expectations for the fiscal second quarter of 2025, and actual results may differ materially from what is indicated. We provide EPS guidance on a non-GAAP basis because certain information necessary to reconcile such guidance to GAAP is difficult to estimate and dependent on future events outside of our control.⁽¹⁾

Our fiscal second quarter 2025 guidance assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 29% on a non-GAAP basis and 235.2 million diluted shares outstanding.

Dividend Increase and Payment

The Company’s board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.076 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing a 2.7% increase from the prior quarterly dividend of $0.074 per share. The dividend is payable on June 3, 2025, to stockholders of record as of May 20, 2025.

⁽¹⁾ Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting financial results that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have included in this release some or all of the following non-GAAP financial measures—adjusted income from operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, return on invested capital (“ROIC”), adjusted ROIC, non-GAAP net income, adjusted free cash flow, and non-GAAP EPS—which are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business and the underlying trends that are affecting our performance. These non-GAAP measures are primary indicators that our management uses internally to conduct and measure its business and evaluate the performance of its consolidated operations, ongoing results, and trends. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and an alternate view of the impact of acquired businesses. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. A material limitation associated with these non-GAAP measures as compared to the GAAP measures is that they may not be comparable to other companies with similarly titled items that present related measures differently. The non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. See “Schedule A: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the “Supplemental Information” section further below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.

Supplemental Information

SCHEDULE A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)

In addition to its reported results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has included in this release adjusted income from operations, adjusted EBITDA, return on invested capital (“ROIC”), adjusted ROIC, non-GAAP net income, adjusted free cash flow, and non-GAAP EPS, which are defined as follows:

• Adjusted Income from Operations means income from operations plus (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (iii) integration and transition costs and (iv) the advisory fees paid to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC (“Platinum Advisors”), an entity affiliated with Platinum, under a corporate advisory services agreement (which has been terminated as a result of our initial public offering (“IPO”)) (such terminated agreement, the “CASA”).
• We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (calculated as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses) adjusted to give effect to (i) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (ii) net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses including net gains and losses on derivative instruments not receiving hedge accounting treatment, (iii) costs of integration, transition, and operational improvement initiatives, as well as consulting, retention and transition costs associated with our organizational effectiveness programs charged to selling, general and administrative expenses, (iv) the advisory fees paid to Platinum Advisors under the CASA, (v) cash-based compensation expense associated with our cash-based long-term incentive program for certain employees in lieu of equity-based compensation prior to the IPO, (vi) stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units issued in connection with our IPO, and (vii) certain other items as defined in our credit agreements.
• ROIC is defined as net income divided by the invested capital for the period. Invested capital is equal to stockholders’ equity plus long-term debt plus short-term debt and the current maturities of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents at the end of each period.
• Adjusted ROIC is defined as adjusted net income divided by the invested capital for the period. Adjusted net income for a particular period is defined as net income plus (i) other income/expense, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (iv) integration and transition costs, (v) the advisory fees paid to Platinum Advisors under the CASA, plus (vi) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) plus (vii) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on large non-recurring or discrete items.
• We define non-GAAP net income as net income adjusted to give effect to (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (iii) net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses including net gains and losses on derivative instruments not receiving hedge accounting treatment, (iv) costs of integration, transition, and operational improvement initiatives, as well as consulting, retention and transition costs associated with our organizational effectiveness programs charged to selling, general and administrative expenses, (v) the advisory fees paid to Platinum Advisors under the CASA, (vi) cash-based compensation expense associated with our cash-based long-term incentive program for certain employees in lieu of equity-based compensation prior to our IPO, (vii) stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units issued in connection with our IPO, (viii) certain other items as defined in our credit agreements, (ix) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), and (viii) and (x) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on large non-recurring or discrete items. This metric differs from adjusted net income, which is a component of adjusted ROIC as described above.
• We define adjusted free cash flow as net income adjusted to give effect to (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) other non-cash items and changes to non-working capital assets/liabilities, (iii) changes in working capital, (iv) proceeds from the deferred purchase price of factored receivables and (v) capital expenditures.
• We define non-GAAP basic EPS as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period presented. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period presented, inclusive of the dilutive effect of participating securities.

Our release contains forward-looking estimates of non-GAAP diluted EPS for the fiscal second quarter 2025. We provide this non-GAAP measure to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) that we provide it to investors on a historical basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking estimate of fiscal second quarter 2025 GAAP diluted EPS to a forward-looking estimate of fiscal second quarter 2025 non-GAAP diluted EPS because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of GAAP diluted EPS for fiscal second quarter 2025 is unreasonably difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control, such as unanticipated non-recurring items not reflective of ongoing operations. In addition, we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our future financial results. Our forward-looking estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as statements of fact.
