earnings release, there are a number of items that impact the
comparability of our results with those in the trailing quarter and
prior quarter of last year. The discussion of our results may exclude
these items to give you a better sense of our operating results. As
always, the operating information we provide to you should be used as a
complement to GAAP numbers. For a complete reconciliation between our
GAAP and non-GAAP results, please refer to our earnings release and the
earnings reconciliation found at the end of this document.The following
reported and adjusted information included in this CFO commentary is
unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the company’s Form 10-Q

Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

over year. Return on working capital was 25.1% in the quarter, up 150

We are expecting the
average USD-to-Euro exchange rate for the fourth quarter to be €1.11 to
$1. Assuming exchange rates remain unchanged for the remainder of the
quarter, we do not expect changes in foreign currencies to have
meaningful impacts on consolidated growth rates when compared to the
fourth quarter of 2015.13
Risk Factors The discussion of the company’s business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which the company is or may become subject. If any of the described events occur, the company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, or access to the capital markets could be materially adversely affected. 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, 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, 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. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements. For a further discussion of factors to consider in connection with these forward-looking statements, investors should refer to Item 1A Risk Factors of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. 14
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 company believes that such non-GAAP
financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and
understanding the company’s operating performance.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 attributable to shareholders 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. 15
