VERNON HILLS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 1, 2011--CDW Corporation:
Third quarter 2011 highlights:
- Net sales of $2.581 billion, up 8.7 percent year-over-year
- Gross profit margin of 16.3 percent, up 80 basis points year-over-year
- Adjusted EBITDA of $200.1 million, up 22.3 percent year-over-year
CDW Corporation, a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to business, government, education and healthcare, today announced third quarter 2011 results.
“CDW achieved all-time highs for net sales, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA,” said Thomas E. Richards, chief executive officer. “Despite a more challenging macro-economic environment, CDW delivered high single digit sales growth, gross profit margin expansion of 80 basis points and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 22.3 percent on a year-over-year basis. I am particularly proud of our coworkers who remained laser-focused on customers, partners and productivity in the face of increased economic uncertainty.”
“Our diverse and balanced portfolio sustained momentum in the third quarter,” continued Richards. “The Corporate segment grew high single digits driven by 10% growth in the Medium/Large channel. Our Public segment grew 6.8 percent, improving its year-over-year performance compared to the first of half of 2011. Through the first three quarters of the year, we are on track to deliver our 2011 objectives of profitably growing faster than the market while investing in additional selling resources and service delivery capabilities.”
Third Quarter of 2011 Highlights:
Total net sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $2.581 billion compared to $2.374 billion in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 8.7 percent. Average daily sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $40.3 million compared to $37.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, representing an 8.7 percent increase. There were 64 selling days in both the third quarter of 2011 and 2010.
- Total Corporate segment net sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $1.330 billion compared to $1.225 billion in the third quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 8.6 percent. Average daily sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $20.8 million compared to $19.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, representing an 8.6 percent increase. Sales growth in the Corporate segment was driven by strong performance in the Medium/Large sales channel.
- Total Public segment net sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $1.123 billion compared to $1.052 billion in the third quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 6.8 percent. Average daily sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $17.5 million compared to $16.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 6.8 percent. The Public segment was led by continued strong performance in the Healthcare sales channel.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2011 was $420.8 million compared to $368.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 14.3 percent. Gross profit margin was 16.3 percent in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 15.5 percent in the same period of 2010, as the year-over-year gross margin percent improved for the sixth consecutive quarter. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to price/mix, driven by a higher mix of net service contract revenue and favorable price/mix changes across the majority of remaining product categories.
Total selling and administrative expenses, including advertising expense, were $281.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $263.8 million in the third quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 6.6 percent. The increase in total selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2011 was primarily driven by higher payroll costs resulting from increased sales commissions and other variable compensation costs, such as incentive bonuses, consistent with higher sales and gross profit, as well as a higher total number of coworkers.
Adjusted EBITDA was $200.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $163.6 million in the third quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 22.3 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.8 percent in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 6.9 percent in the third quarter of 2010.

Average daily sales in the first nine months of 2011 were $20.6 million compared to $18.5 million in the first nine months of 2010, representing an 11.1 percent increase.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2011 was $1.174 billion compared to $1.034 billion in the first nine months of 2010, representing an increase of 13.5 percent. Gross profit margin was 16.5 percent in the first nine months of 2011 compared to 15.8 percent in the same period of 2010. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to price/mix, driven by a higher mix of commission revenue and net service contract revenue, along with favorable price/mix changes across the majority of remaining product categories.
Total selling and administrative expenses, including advertising expense, were $814.5 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $762.6 million in the first nine months of 2010, representing an increase of 6.8 percent. The increase in total selling and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2011 was primarily driven by higher payroll costs resulting from increased sales commissions and other variable compensation costs consistent with higher sales and gross profit, as well as a higher total number of coworkers and increased advertising expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $543.1 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $456.0 million in the first nine months of 2010, representing an increase of 19.1 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.6 percent in the first nine months of 2011 compared to 7.0 percent in the first nine months of 2010.

We have included reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure defined in our credit agreements, means EBITDA adjusted for certain items which are described in the table below. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide helpful information with respect to our operating performance and cash flows including our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA also provides helpful information as it is the primary measure used in certain financial covenants contained in our credit agreements. |
