NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "company") were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at and for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Quarter End

The company operates on a quarterly calendar that closes on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation (See Note B). These reclassifications are included in the footnote tables for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Note B – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) ("ASU No. 2018-02"). ASU No. 2018-02 provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in each period that is impacted by U.S. federal government tax legislation enacted in 2017 (the "Tax Act"). Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2018-02 on a prospective basis as an adjustment to retained earnings of $4,116.

In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) ("ASU No. 2017-12"). ASU No. 2017-12 simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting and results in a more accurate portrayal of the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for the company in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2017-12.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) ("ASU No. 2017-07"). ASU No. 2017-07 requires that the service cost component of pension expense be included in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees, with the other components of pension expense being classified outside of a subtotal of income from operations. Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2017-07 on a retrospective basis for the presentation requirements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU No. 2016-13"). ASU No. 2016-13 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for the company in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU No. 2016-02"). ASU No. 2016-02 requires the entity to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting expense recognition in the income statement. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for the company in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. While the company continues to evaluate the effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

(Unaudited)

2016-02, the company expects most existing operating lease commitments will be recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825) ("ASU No. 2016-01"). ASU No. 2016-01 revises the classification and measurement of investments in certain equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for certain financial liabilities measured at fair value. ASU No. 2016-01 requires the change in fair value of many equity investments to be recognized in net income. Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 on a prospective basis as an adjustment to retained earnings of $18,238.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU No. 2014-09"). ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under ASU No. 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In March, April, May, and December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ("ASU No. 2016-08"); ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU No. 2016-10"); ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU No. 2016-12"); and ASU No. 2016-19, Technical Corrections and Improvements ("ASU No. 2016-19"), respectively. ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-10, ASU No. 2016-12, and ASU No. 2016-19 provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU No. 2014-09, and must be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, cumulatively referred to as "Topic 606".

On January 1, 2018, the company adopted Topic 606 applying the full retrospective method. The primary impact of adoption relates to the application of gross versus net indicators and the determination of whether goods and services are distinct. In addition, the company is deferring certain revenue due to the determination of when transfer of control occurs. The deferrals are expected to be recognized within a year of the transaction date.

The following table presents the effect of the adoption of Topic 606, ASU No. 2017-07, and other prior period reclassifications.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2017 was impacted by a reclassification of pension settlement expense of $16,706 due to the implementation of ASU No. 2017-07. The settlement expense was moved to "post-retirement expense", which is classified as non-operating on the statement of operations.

Note C – Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the changes below, no material changes have been made to the company's significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 6, 2018, for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the point at which control of the underlying goods or services are transferred to the customer, which included determining whether goods and services are distinct and separate performance obligations, which may require significant judgment. Satisfaction of the company’s performance obligations occur upon the transfer of control of goods or services, either from the company’s facilities or directly from suppliers to customers. The company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers.

In determining the transaction price, the company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the company expects to receive. The amount of consideration received and revenue recognized by the company vary due to contractually defined incentives and return rights that are held by customers. These adjustments are made in the same period as the underlying transactions.

Investments

The change in fair value of equity investments, for which the company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are recognized in net income. The fair value of these equity investments are based upon readily determinable fair values (Note I).

Note D – Acquisitions

2018 Acquisitions

On January 8, 2018, the company acquired eInfochips for a purchase price of $327,532, which included $14,769 of cash acquired. eInfochips services customers at every phase of technology deployment, including custom hardware and software, and new Internet of Things based business models. eInfochips is recorded in the company's global components business segment.

Since the date of the acquisition, eInfochips sales of $19,586 were included in the company's consolidated results of operations.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to adjustment based on our final assessment of fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. The items with the highest likelihood of changing upon finalization of the valuation include goodwill, intangibles, and deferred taxes. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the net consideration paid to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the eInfochips acquisition:



Accounts receivable, net	$	14,162
Inventories	1,512
Property, plant, and equipment	8,114
Other assets	24,021
Identifiable intangible assets	71,710
Goodwill	202,267
Accounts payable	(517		)
Accrued expenses	(6,909		)
Other liabilities	(1,597		)
Cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired	$	312,763

In connection with the eInfochips acquisition, the company allocated $71,710 to customer relationships with a weighted-average life of 9 years.

The goodwill related to the eInfochips acquisition was recorded in the company's global components business segment.

During the first quarter of 2018, the company completed one additional acquisition with a purchase price of approximately $18,704, net of cash acquired. The impact of this acquisition was not material to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The following table summarizes the company's unaudited consolidated results of operations for the first quarter of 2017, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company, as though the 2018 acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2017:

Net income per share:
Basic	$	1.29	$	1.29
Diluted	$	1.27	$	1.27

2017 Acquisitions

During 2017, the company acquired an additional 11.9% of the noncontrolling interest common shares of Data Modul AG for $23,350, increasing the company's ownership interest in Data Modul to 69.2%. The impact of this acquisition was not material to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In addition, the company completed two acquisitions for $3.628, net of cash acquired. The impact of these acquisitions was not material to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The pro forma impact of the 2017 acquisitions on the consolidated results of operations of the company for 2017, as though the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2017, was also not material.

Note E – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The company tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist.

The carrying amount of the company's short-term borrowings in various countries, revolving credit facility, asset securitization program, commercial paper, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

The company has a $1,800,000 revolving credit facility maturing in December 2021. This facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term indebtedness, acquisitions, and as support for the company's commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a euro currency rate plus a spread (1.18% at March 31, 2018), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 2.87% at March 31, 2018. The facility fee, which is based on the company's credit ratings, was .20% at March 31, 2018. The company had $281,500 in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2018. The company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2017.

The company has a commercial paper program and the maximum aggregate balance of commercial paper outstanding may not exceed the borrowing capacity of $1,200,000. The company had no outstanding borrowings under this program at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The program had an effective interest rate of 2.17% for the first quarter of 2018.

The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. The company may borrow up to $910,000 under the asset securitization program, which matures in September 2019. The asset securitization program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation ("AFC"), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The asset securitization program does not qualify for true sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company's consolidated balance sheets. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread (.40% at March 31, 2018), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 2.27% at March 31, 2018. The facility fee is .40%.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the company had $810,000 and $490,000, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program, which was included in "Long-term debt" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. Total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $2,109,500 and $2,270,500, respectively, were held by AFC and were included in "Accounts receivable, net" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. Any accounts receivable held by AFC would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings before repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program.

Both the revolving credit facility and asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2018 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.

The company has a $100,000 uncommitted line of credit. The company had no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

During March 2018, the company redeemed $300,000 principal amount of its 3.00% notes due March 2018.

During June 2017, the company completed the sale of $500,000 principal amount of 3.875% notes due in 2028. The net proceeds of the offering of $494,625 were used to redeem the company's 6.875% senior debenture due June 2018 and refinance a portion of the company’s 6.00% notes due April 2020, 5.125% notes due March 2021, and 7.50% notes due January 2027. The company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $59,545 in the second quarter of 2017.

During September 2017, the company completed the sale of $500,000 principal amount of 3.25% notes due in 2024. The net proceeds of the offering of $493,810 were used to redeem the company's debt obligations and for general corporate purposes.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $9,255 and $7,926 for the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Note I – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.


Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.


Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (see Note D and E). The company tests these assets for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist or at least annually if indefinite lived.

During the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, there were no transfers of assets (liabilities) measured at fair value between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments

The company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, for purposes other than trading. Certain derivative instruments are designated at inception as hedges and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked-to-market each reporting period with any unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps

The company occasionally enters into interest rate swap transactions that convert certain fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt or variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt in order to manage its targeted mix of fixed- and floating-rate debt. The company uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on a quarterly basis. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges is recorded as a change to the carrying value of the related hedged debt, and the effective portion of the change in fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in

"Accumulated other comprehensive loss." The ineffective portion of the interest rate swaps, if any, is recorded in "Interest and other financing expense, net" in the company's consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all outstanding interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges.

The terms of our outstanding interest rate swap contracts at March 31, 2018 are as follows:

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The company’s transactions in its foreign operations are denominated primarily in the following currencies: Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Indian Rupee, and British Pound. The company enters into foreign exchange forward, option, or swap contracts (collectively, the "foreign exchange contracts") to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are executed to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures resulting from inventory purchases and sales and generally have terms of no more than six months. Gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized when the underlying future purchase or sale is recognized or when the corresponding asset or liability is revalued. The company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. The risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts are estimated using market quotes. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $473,292 and $504,084, respectively.

Gains and losses related to non-designated foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded in "Cost of sales" in the company's consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses related to designated foreign currency exchange contracts, are recorded in "Cost of sales," "Selling, general, and administrative expenses," and "Interest and other financing expense, net" based upon the nature of the underlying hedged transaction, in the company's consolidated statements of operations and were not material for the first quarter of 2018 and 2017.

The effects of derivative instruments on the company's consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income are as follows:

company's purchase of Wyle from the sellers, the sellers agreed to indemnify the company for certain costs associated with the Wyle environmental obligations, among other things. In 2012, the company entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers pursuant to which the sellers paid $110,000 and the company released the sellers from their indemnification obligation. As part of the settlement agreement, the company accepted responsibility for any potential subsequent costs incurred related to the Wyle matters. The company is aware of two Wyle Laboratories facilities (in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California) at which contaminated groundwater was identified and will require environmental remediation. In addition, the company was named as a defendant in several lawsuits related to the Norco facility and a third site in El Segundo, California which have now been settled to the satisfaction of the parties.

The company expects these environmental liabilities to be resolved over an extended period of time. Costs are recorded for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing and extent of remediation, improvements in remediation technologies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Accordingly, the company cannot presently fully estimate the ultimate potential costs related to these sites until such time as a substantial portion of the investigation at the sites is completed and remedial action plans are developed and, in some instances, implemented. To the extent that future environmental costs exceed amounts currently accrued by the company, net income would be adversely impacted and such impact could be material.

Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in "Accrued expenses" and "Other liabilities" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. The company has determined that there is no amount within the environmental liability range that is a better estimate than any other amount, and therefore has recorded the accruals at the minimum amount of the ranges.

As successor-in-interest to Wyle, the company is the beneficiary of various Wyle insurance policies that covered liabilities arising out of operations at Norco and Huntsville. To date, the company has recovered approximately $37,000 from certain insurance carriers relating to environmental clean-up matters at the Norco site. The company is considering the best way to pursue its potential claims against insurers regarding liabilities arising out of operations at Huntsville. The resolution of these matters will likely take several years. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries related to the Norco and Huntsville environmental matters, as the realization of the claims for recovery are not deemed probable at this time. The company believes the settlement amount together with potential recoveries from various insurance policies covering environmental remediation and related litigation will be sufficient to cover any potential future costs related to the Wyle acquisition; however, it is possible unexpected costs beyond those anticipated could occur.

Environmental Matters - Huntsville

In February 2015, the company and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management ("ADEM") finalized and executed a consent decree in connection with the Huntsville, Alabama site. Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater continues at the site. Under the direction of the ADEM, approximately $5,900 was spent to date. The pace of the ongoing remedial investigations, project management, and regulatory oversight is likely to increase somewhat and, though the complete scope of the activities is not yet known, the company currently estimates additional investigative and related expenditures at the site of approximately $300 to $600. The nature and scope of both feasibility studies and subsequent remediation at the site has not yet been determined, but assuming the outcome includes source control and certain other measures, the cost is estimated to be between $4,400 and $10,000.

Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.

Environmental Matters - Norco

In October 2003, the company entered into a consent decree with Wyle Laboratories and the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (the "DTSC") in connection with the Norco site. In April 2005, a Remedial Investigation Work Plan was approved by DTSC that provided for site-wide characterization of known and potential environmental issues. Investigations performed in connection with this work plan and a series of subsequent technical memoranda continued until the filing of a final Remedial Investigation Report early in 2008. Work is under way pertaining to the remediation of contaminated groundwater at

certain areas on the Norco site and of soil gas in a limited area immediately adjacent to the site. In 2008, a hydraulic containment system was installed to capture and treat groundwater before it moves into the adjacent offsite area. In September 2013, the DTSC approved the final Remedial Action Plan ("RAP") and work is currently progressing under the RAP. The approval of the RAP includes the potential for additional remediation action after the five year review of the hydraulic containment system if the review finds that contaminants have not been sufficiently reduced in the offsite area.

Approximately $56,100 was spent to date on remediation, project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities. The company currently estimates that these activities will give rise to an additional $18,000 to $28,700. Project management and regulatory oversight include costs incurred by project consultants for project management and costs billed by DTSC to provide regulatory oversight.

Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work under the RAP is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.

Other

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will materially impact the company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Item 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "company") is a global provider of products, services, and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions. The company has one of the world’s broadest portfolios of product offerings available from leading electronic components and enterprise computing solutions suppliers, coupled with a range of services, solutions, and tools that help industrial and commercial customers introduce innovative products, reduce their time to market, and enhance their overall competitiveness. The company has two business segments, the global components business segment and the global enterprise computing solutions ("ECS") business segment. The company distributes electronic components to original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers through its global components business segment and provides enterprise computing solutions to value-added resellers and managed service providers through its global ECS business segment. For the first quarter of 2018, approximately 72% of the company's sales were from the global components business segment and approximately 28% of the company's sales were from the global ECS business segment.

The company's financial objectives are to grow sales faster than the market, increase the markets served, grow profits faster than sales, and increase return on invested capital. To achieve its objectives, the company seeks to capture significant opportunities to grow across products, markets, and geographies. To supplement its organic growth strategy, the company continually evaluates strategic acquisitions to broaden its product and value-added service offerings, increase its market penetration, and expand its geographic reach.

Executive Summary

Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2018 increased by 19.9% compared with the year-earlier period. The increase for the first quarter of 2018 was driven by an increase in the global components business segment sales of 21.5% and an increase in the global ECS business segment sales of 16.0%. Adjusted for the change in foreign currencies, acquisitions, and dispositions consolidated sales increased 14.4% for the first quarter of 2018 compared with the year-earlier period.

Net income attributable to shareholders increased to $139.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to $114.7 million in the year-earlier period. The following items impacted the comparability of the company's results:


•	loss on disposition of businesses, net, of $1.6 million in 2018;


•	restructuring, integration, and other charges of $21.2 million in 2018 and $15.5 million in 2017;


•	identifiable intangible asset amortization of $13.5 million in 2018 and $12.9 million in 2017; and


•	gain (loss) on investments, net, of $(2.5) million in 2018 and $2.0 million in 2017

Excluding the aforementioned items, net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2018 increased to $167.7 million compared with $132.1 million in the year-earlier period.

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 discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

•

Sales, income, or expense items as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as "impact of changes in foreign currencies"), 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"), and 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 "impact of dispositions");


•	Operating income as adjusted to exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, and loss on disposition of businesses, net; and


•	Net income attributable to shareholders as adjusted to exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, loss on disposition of businesses, net, and gain (loss) on investments, net.

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand the company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. 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.

Sales

Substantially all of the company's sales are made on an order-by-order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts. As such, the nature of the company's business does not provide for the visibility of material forward-looking information from its customers and suppliers beyond a few months.

Following is an analysis of net sales by reportable segment (in millions):

Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2018 increased by $1.14 billion, or 19.9% compared with the year-earlier period. The increase for the first quarter of 2018 was driven by an increase in global components business segment sales of $871.1 million, or 21.5%, and an increase in global ECS business segment sales of $267.7 million, or 16.0%. Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies, acquisitions, and dispositions, consolidated sales increased 14.4% for the first quarter of 2018 compared with the year-earlier period.

In the global components business segment, sales for the first quarter of 2018 increased $871.1 million, or 21.5% compared with the year-earlier period, with double digit sales growth across all regions for the first quarter of 2018. The increase for the first quarter is attributable to suppliers awarding additional business to the company, with strong demand growth from transportation, aerospace and defense customers, and the company's growing Digital business. Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, the company's global components business segment sales increased by 15.9% for the first quarter of 2018 compared with the year-earlier period.

In the global ECS business segment, sales for the first quarter of 2018 increased $267.7 million, or 16.0% compared with the year-earlier period, with increased demand in both the Americas and EMEA regions. The increase for first quarter sales relates primarily to new customer wins from competitors, and strong demand growth in cloud, infrastructure software, and the hardware categories of storage and industry-standard servers. Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies, acquisitions, and dispositions, the company's global ECS business segment sales increased 10.8% for the first quarter of 2018 compared with year-earlier period.

The company recorded gross profit of $868.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared with $761.2 million in the year-earlier period. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased demand in the global components business. Gross profit margins in the first quarter of 2018 decreased by approximately 70 bps compared with the year-earlier period primarily due to increased sales in lower margin products and services across both the global components and global ECS businesses.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $47.4 million, or 9.2%, in the first quarter of 2018 on a sales increase of 19.9% compared with the year-earlier period. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 8.2% for the first quarter of 2018 compared with 9.0% in the year-earlier period.

Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of operating expenses was 7.7% for the first quarter of 2018 compared with 6.7% in the year-earlier period. During the first quarter of 2018 the company recorded $6.0 million of depreciation related to a global enterprise resource tool ("ERP") placed into service during the quarter. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is identifiable intangible asset amortization of $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2018 compared to $12.9 million in the year-earlier period.

Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies, acquisitions, and dispositions, operating expenses increased 5.4% for the first quarter of 2018, compared with the year-earlier period.

Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

Restructuring initiatives relate to the company's continued efforts to lower cost and drive operational efficiency. Integration costs are primarily related to the integration of acquired businesses within the company's pre-existing business and the consolidation of certain operations.

2018 Charges

The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $21.2 million for the first quarter of 2018. Included in restructuring and integration charges is a restructuring and integration charge of $11.4 million, related to initiatives taken by the company during 2018 to improve operating efficiencies, and acquisition-related expenses of $6.2 million.

The restructuring and integration charge of $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2018 includes personnel costs of $4.5 million, facilities costs of $6.8 million, and other costs of $0.1 million.

2017 Charges

The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2017. Included in restructuring, integration, and other charges for 2017 is a restructuring and integration charge of $8.0 million related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies, and acquisition-related expenses of $2.7 million.

The restructuring and integration charge of $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2017 includes personnel costs of $4.8 million, facilities costs of $2.7 million, and other costs of $0.5 million.

As of March 31, 2018, the company does not anticipate there will be any material adjustments relating to the aforementioned restructuring and integration plans. Refer to Note J, "Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the company's restructuring and integration activities.

* The sum of the components for consolidated operating income, as adjusted, may not agree to totals, as presented, due to rounding.

The company recorded operating income of $236.0 million, or 3.4% of sales in the first quarter of 2018 compared with operating income of $193.0 million, or 3.4% of sales in the year-earlier period. Excluding identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, and loss on disposition of businesses, operating income, as adjusted, was $272.2 million, or 4.0% of sales in the first quarter of 2018 compared with operating income, as adjusted, of $221.4 million, or 3.9% of sales in the year-earlier period. Operating income, as adjusted, increased 22.9% for the first quarter of 2018 compared with the year-earlier period, on a sales increase of 19.9% compared with the year-earlier period. Operating income, as adjusted as a percentage of sales, increased 10 bps for the first quarter of 2018, respectively, compared with the year-earlier period.

Operating income grew faster than sales for the first quarter of 2018 compared with the year-earlier period due to the company's ability to efficiently manage operating costs and improve leverage in the global components business by delivering more value-added services and selling more of the company's extensive line card. The sales increase in the global ECS business for the first quarter of 2018 was dillutive to operating margins, and reflects the on-boarding of new value-added reseller as well as a shift in product mix towards hardware sales.

Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net

The company recorded net interest and other financing expense of $45.2 million for the first quarter of 2018 compared with $38.2 million in the year-earlier period. The increase for the first quarter of 2018 was primarily due to higher average debt outstanding and an increase in variable interest rates.

Other

During the first quarter of 2018, the company recorded a net loss on disposition of businesses of $1.6 million related to the sale of two non-strategic businesses.

During the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, the company recorded a loss of $2.5 million and gain of $2.0 million related to changes in fair value of certain investments, respectively.

Income Tax

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. The determination of the consolidated provision for income taxes requires management to make certain judgments and estimates. Changes in the estimated level of annual pre-tax earnings, tax laws, and changes resulting from tax audits can affect the overall effective income tax rate, which impacts the level of income tax expense and net income. Judgments and estimates related to the company’s projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain; therefore, actual results could differ from projections.

For the first quarter of 2018, the company recorded a provision for income taxes of $46.6 million, an effective tax rate of 25.0%. The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2018 were impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges, identifiable intangible asset amortization, loss on disposition of businesses, and gain (loss) on investments. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, the company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2018 was 25.1%.

For the first quarter 2017, the company recorded a provision for income taxes of $39.6 million, an effective tax rate of 25.4%. The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 were impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges, identifiable intangible asset amortization, and gain (loss) on investments. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, the company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 was 26.5%.

The company’s effective tax rate deviates from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate mainly due to the mix of foreign taxing jurisdictions in which the company operates and where its foreign subsidiaries generate taxable income. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 25.4% for the first quarter of 2017 to 25.0% for the first quarter of 2018 is primarily driven by the discrete items and changes in the U.S. tax rules.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (the “Tax Act”), which significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign unremitted earnings, and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs (e.g., interest expense).

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the company recorded a provision amount, which is a reasonable estimate of the Tax Act’s impact of $124.7 million pursuant to the guidance provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB 118”), which allows the company a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related provisional tax impacts. Accordingly, the company is continuing to assess the related tax impacts under SAB 118 and has not made any adjustments during the first quarter of 2018 to the reasonable estimate of $124.7 million previously recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Net income attributable to shareholders, as adjusted, was $167.7 million for the first quarter of 2018 compared with $132.1 million in the year-earlier period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $548.6 million and $730.1 million, respectively, of which $261.1 million and $465.4 million, respectively, were held outside the United States. Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the company's business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the world. It is the company's current intent to permanently reinvest these funds outside the United States and its current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund its United States operations. If these funds were needed for the company's operations in the United States, the company would be required to pay witholding and other taxes related to distribution of these funds. Additionally, local government regulations may restrict the company's ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances. The company currently does not expect such regulations and restrictions to impact its ability to make acquisitions or to conduct operations throughout the global organization.

During the first quarter of 2018, the net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities was $75.1 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $336.4 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $235.5 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a decrease of $5.4 million.

During the first quarter of 2017, the net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities was $20.9 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $54.2 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $64.0 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a decrease of $1.6 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The company maintains a significant investment in accounts receivable and inventories. As a percentage of total assets, accounts receivable and inventories were approximately 67.9% at March 31, 2018 and 69.4% at December 31, 2017.

The asset securitization program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary.

In the normal course of business, certain of the company’s subsidiaries have agreements to sell, without recourse, selected trade receivables to financial institutions. The company does not retain financial or legal interests in these receivables, and, accordingly, they are accounted for as sales of the related receivables and the receivables are removed from the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Financing costs related to these transactions were not material and are included in "Interest and other financing expense, net" in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Management believes that the company's current cash availability, its current borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and asset securitization program, its expected ability to generate future operating cash flows, and the company's access to capital markets are sufficient to meet its projected cash flow needs for the foreseeable future. The company continually evaluates its liquidity requirements and would seek to amend its existing borrowing capacity or access the financial markets as deemed necessary.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

On January 1, 2018, the company adopted Topic 606 applying the full retrospective method. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on prior periods revenue recognition. The primary impact of adoption relates to the application of gross versus net indicators and the determination of when goods and services are distinct. In addition, the company is deferring certain revenue due to a change in the determination of transfer of control. These changes result from clarified guidance in Topic 606. The deferrals are expected to become revenue within a year of the transaction date. The impact of the adoption to sales, cost of sales, gross profit, and net income are presented in Note B.

On January 1, 2018, the company adopted ASU No. 2016-01 and adjusted retained earnings. The primary impact of adoption will require the change in fair value of equity investments, for which the company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, to be recognized in net income. The fair value of these equity investments are based upon readily determinable fair values.

There were no additional changes during the first quarter of 2018 to the items disclosed as Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (Note B and C).
