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 non-GAAP information included in this CFO commentary is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the company’s 2020 Annual Report on form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

investor.arrow.com Fourth-Quarter 2020 CFO Commentary 2 Record fourth- quarter sales, net income, and earnings per share on a diluted basis. Fourth-Quarter Summary Record fourth-quarter sales were above the high end of our prior expectation as demand for electronic components and information technology solutions strengthened. Arrow is continuing to help customers and suppliers solve complex multi-region supply chain challenges. Customers are choosing to do more business with Arrow to drive growth, reduce time to market for their products, and help securely capture valuable insights from their data. Higher sales and focused execution produced record fourth-quarter net income and earnings per share. During the fourth quarter, demand for electronic components increased in all three regions compared to the prior quarters of 2020. Demand was exceptionally strong in the Asia region where Arrow’s long-term efforts to gain scale have led sales to double over the last five years. Strong transportation demand continued in all regions, and nearly all key industries showed improvement. Operational controls helped operating margin increase year over year. For the enterprise computing solutions business, work and learn from home drove demand for infrastructure software and security solutions, resulting in sales that were above the midpoint of our prior expectation. Operating income increased year over year, and operating margin returned to the highest level since 2017, aided by a more favorable mix of products and solutions for margins. Proactive working capital and balance sheet management resulted in return on working capital and return on invested capital increasing year over year in both the fourth quarter and the full year. Cash flows from operating activities totaled $200 million for the quarter and $1.36 billion for the year. In 2020, cash flows were used to reduce debt by $715 million and return a record $475 million to shareholders through our share repurchase program. At the end of 2020, remaining repurchase authorization totaled approximately $463 million.

investor.arrow.com Fourth-Quarter 2020 CFO Commentary 15 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 2020 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, as the term is defined under the federal securities laws, including but not limited to statements regarding: Arrow’s future financial performance, including its outlook on financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, such as sales, net income per diluted share, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, average tax rate, average diluted shares outstanding, interest expense, average USD-to-Euro exchange rate, impact to sales due to changes in foreign currencies, intangible amortization expense per diluted share, restructuring & integration charges per diluted share, and expectation regarding market demand. These forward-looking statements 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: potential adverse effects of the ongoing global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, including actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, the speed and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine and treatment developments and deployment, potential mutations of COVID-19, industry conditions, 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, changes in legal, tax and regulatory matters, non-compliance with certain regulations, such as export, anti-trust, and anti-corruption laws, foreign tax and other loss contingencies, and the company's ability to generate cash flow. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the company's Form 10-K and subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.
investor.arrow.com Fourth-Quarter 2020 CFO Commentary 16 Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company’s operating performance. 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 non-GAAP sales, sales for each segment and in each region, gross profit, operating income, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, net income attributable to shareholders, net income per share on a diluted basis, return on working capital, and return on invested capital which are GAAP measures adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as "changes in foreign currencies") by re-translating prior-period results at current-period foreign exchange rates, the impact of dispositions by adjusting the company’s operating results for businesses disposed, as if the dispositions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented (referred to as "dispositions"), the impact of the company’s personal computer and mobility asset disposition business (referred to as "wind down"), the impact of inventory write-downs and recoveries related to the digital business (referred to as “digital inventory write-downs, net”), and the impact of notes receivable reserves and recoveries and inventory write-downs related to the AFS business (referred to as “AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries” and “AFS inventory write-downs”, respectively). Non-GAAP operating income excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, loss on disposition of businesses, net, AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries and inventory write-downs, digital inventory write-downs, net, the impact of non-cash charges related to goodwill, trade names, and long-lived assets, and the impact of wind down. Net income attributable to shareholders, and net income per basic and diluted share as adjusted to exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, loss on disposition of businesses, net, AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries and inventory write- downs, digital inventory write-downs, net, gains and losses on investments, net, the impact of non-cash charges related to goodwill, trade names, and long-lived assets, certain tax adjustments, pension settlement gain (loss) and the impact of wind down. A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the tables below. Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader, as a supplement to the GAAP measures, to better assess and understand the company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods. Management typically monitors these non-GAAP measures in addition to GAAP results to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods for forecasting purposes, operating plans, and evaluating our financial performance. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.
