GUIDANCE

“As we look to the fourth quarter, we believe that total sales will be between $6.3 billion and $6.7 billion, with global components sales between $3.7 billion and $3.9 billion, and global enterprise computing solutions sales between $2.6 billion and $2.8 billion. As a result of this outlook, we expect earnings per share on a diluted basis, to be in the range of $1.68 to $1.84, and earnings per share on a diluted basis, excluding any charges, to be in the range of $1.92 to $2.08 per share. Our guidance assumes an average tax rate in the range of 25 to 27 percent and average diluted shares outstanding are expected to be 91 million. Due to timing of some discreet items, we anticipate our fourth-quarter average tax rate will be below our usual 27 to 29 percent range, but full-year 2016 average tax rate will be within the 27 to 29 percent range. We are expecting the average USD-to-Euro exchange rate for the fourth quarter to be approximately $1.11 to €1. At the midpoints of our fourth-quarter guidance ranges, full-year 2016 earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding certain items¹, would total approximately $6.62 and grow 7 percent compared to full-year 2015. Full-year 2016 sales would total approximately $23.88 billion and would grow 3 percent compared to full-year 2015,” said Mr. Stansbury.

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements that 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: industry conditions, the company's implementation of its new enterprise resource planning system, changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand, competition, other vagaries in the global components and global enterprise computing solutions markets, changes in relationships with key suppliers, increased profit margin pressure, the effects of additional actions taken to become more efficient or lower costs, risks related to the integration of acquired businesses, changes in legal and regulatory matters, and the company’s ability to generate additional cash flow. 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. 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.

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 provides certain non-GAAP financial information relating to sales, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders, and net income per basic and diluted share. The company provides sales on a non-GAAP basis adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and the impact of acquisitions by adjusting the company's operating results for businesses acquired, including the amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented (referred to as "impact of acquisitions"). Operating income, net income attributable to shareholders, and net income per basic and diluted share are adjusted for certain charges, credits, gains, and losses that the company believes impact the comparability of its results of operations. These charges, credits, gains, and losses arise out of the company’s efficiency enhancement initiatives, acquisitions (including intangible assets amortization expense), loss on prepayment of debt, and (gain)/loss on investments. A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the tables 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 these items 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, sales, 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.
