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 Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 28, 2014 and March 29, 2014, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Quarter End

The company operates on a quarterly reporting 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.

Note B – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU No. 2014-15"). ASU No. 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 provides guidance to an organization's management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in footnote disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter, with early application permitted. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-13, Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity (“ASU No. 2014-13”). ASU No. 2014-13 provides an entity that consolidates a collateralized financing entity (“CFE”) that had elected the fair value option for the financial assets and financial liabilities of such CFE an alternative to current fair value measurement guidance. If elected, the company could measure both the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the CFE by using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities. ASU No. 2014-13 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. ASU No. 2014-13 allows for either a retrospective or modified retrospective approach to adoption. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2014-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period ("ASU No. 2014-12"). ASU No. 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. ASU No. 2014-12 is effective for interim and annuals periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures ("ASU No. 2014-11"). ASU No. 2014-11 requires entities to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings, rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements. In addition, the ASU eliminates accounting guidance on linked repurchase financing transactions. ASU No. 2014-11 also expands

ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

(Unaudited)

disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU No. 2014-11 is effective for interim and annuals periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early application prohibited. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2014-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

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 the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. 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. ASU No. 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. This includes significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application prohibited. ASU No. 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The company is evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09.

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU No. 2014-08"). ASU No. 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting and disclosing discontinued operations. Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2014-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

Note C – Acquisitions

The company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of acquisitions are included in the company's consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. The company allocates the purchase price of each acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. In certain circumstances, a portion of purchase price may be contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired and contingent consideration were determined primarily by using an income approach which was based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements by authoritative guidance (see Note H). The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill. Any change in the estimated fair value of the net assets prior to the finalization of the allocation for acquisitions could change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. The company is not aware of any information that indicates the final purchase price allocations will differ materially from the preliminary estimates.

Recently Completed Acquisitions

Subsequent to quarter end, the company completed two acquisitions for a purchase price of approximately $37,000 in cash. The impact of these acquisitions is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2014 Acquisitions

During the first nine months of 2014, the company completed three acquisitions. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $135,585, net of cash acquired, and included $5,853 of contingent consideration and $210 of other amounts withheld. The impact of these acquisitions was not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The pro forma impact of the 2014 acquisitions on the consolidated results of operations of the company for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 and 2013 as though these acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2013 was also not material.

2013 Acquisitions

On October 28, 2013, the company acquired CSS Computer Security Solutions Holding GmbH, doing business as ComputerLinks AG ("ComputerLinks"), for a purchase price of $313,209, which included $20,981 of cash acquired. ComputerLinks is a value-added distributor of enterprise computing solutions with a comprehensive offering of IT solutions from many of the world's leading technology suppliers. ComputerLinks has operations in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), North America, and select countries within the Asia Pacific region.

During 2013, the company completed four additional acquisitions. The aggregate consideration for these four acquisitions was $80,210, net of cash acquired, and included $4,498 of contingent consideration. The impact of these acquisitions was not material, individually or in the aggregate, 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 third quarter and first nine months of 2013, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company, as though the 2013 acquisitions occurred on January 1:



	Quarter Ended September 28, 2013				Nine Months Ended September 28, 2013
	As Reported		Pro Forma		As Reported		Pro Forma
Sales	$	5,048,211	$	5,273,114	$	15,203,925	$	15,939,474

Diluted	$	.95	$	.96	$	2.53	$	2.61

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations do not purport to be indicative of the results obtained had these acquisitions occurred as of the beginning of 2013, or of those results that may be obtained in the future. Additionally, the above table does not reflect any anticipated cost savings or cross-selling opportunities expected to result from these acquisitions.

Note D – Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Companies Acquired and Intangible Assets, Net

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.

Cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired, allocated to the company's business segments, is as follows:



	Global Components			Global ECS			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2013 (a)	$	1,000,860		$	1,038,433		$	2,039,293
Acquisitions	56,510			29,227			85,737
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(4,877		)	(43,461		)	(48,338		)
Balance as of September 27, 2014 (a)	$	1,052,493		$	1,024,199		$	2,076,692


(a)	The total carrying value of cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired for all periods in the table above is reflected net of $1,018,780 of accumulated impairment charges, of which $716,925 was recorded in the global components business segment and $301,855 was recorded in the global ECS business segment.

The 7.50% senior debentures are not redeemable prior to their maturity. The 3.375% notes, 6.875% senior debentures, 3.00% notes, 6.00% notes, 5.125% notes, and 4.50% notes may be called at the option of the company subject to "make whole" clauses.

The estimated fair market value, using quoted market prices, is as follows:



	September 27, 2014		December 31, 2013
3.375% notes, due 2015	$	255,000	$	260,000

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

The company has a $1,500,000 revolving credit facility, maturing in December 2018. 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 and 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 (1.30% at September 27, 2014), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.40% at September 27, 2014. The facility fee is .20%. At September 27, 2014, the company had $49,800 in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2013.

The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. In March 2014, the company amended its asset securitization program and, among other things, increased its borrowing capacity from $775,000 to $900,000 and extended its term to mature in March 2017. 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 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 September 27, 2014), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of .62% at September 27, 2014. The facility fee is .40%.

At September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the company had $360,000 and $420,000, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program, which was included in "Long-term debt" in the company's consolidated balance sheets, and total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $1,543,118 and $1,867,552, 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, limit the company's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock, and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 27, 2014 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.

In April 2014, the company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. In September 2014, the company amended its uncommitted line of credit to increase its borrowing capacity from $70,000 to $100,000. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit at September 27, 2014.

During the first nine months of 2013, the company completed the sale of $300,000 principal amount of 3.00% notes due in 2018 and $300,000 principal amount of 4.50% notes due in 2023. The net proceeds of the offering of $591,156 were used to refinance the company's 6.875% senior notes due July 2013 and for general corporate purposes.

During the first nine months of 2013, the company redeemed $332,107 principal amount of its 6.875% senior notes due July 2013. The related loss on the redemption for the first nine months of 2013 aggregated $4,277 ($2,627 net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt in the company's consolidated statements of operations.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $2,369 and $3,898 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 and $3,272 and $4,392 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively.

Note H – 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.

The following table presents assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 27, 2014:

During the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers of assets (liabilities) measured at fair value between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Available-For-Sale Securities

The company has an 8.4% equity ownership interest in Marubun Corporation ("Marubun") and a portfolio of mutual funds with quoted market prices, all of which are accounted for as available-for-sale securities.

During the third quarter of 2014, the company sold its 1.9% equity ownership interest in WPG Holdings Co., Ltd. ("WPG"), for proceeds of $40,542 and accordingly recorded a gain on sale of investment of $29,743 ($18,269 net of related taxes or $.19 and $.18 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively).

The fair value of the company's available-for-sale securities at September 27, 2014 is as follows:



	Marubun		Mutual Funds
Cost basis	$	10,016	$	15,780
Unrealized holding gain	5,394		6,003
Fair value	$	15,410	$	21,783

The fair value of the company's available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2013 is as follows:



	Marubun		WPG		Mutual Funds
Cost basis	$	10,016	10,798		$	15,614
Unrealized holding gain	2,709		24,903		5,817
Fair value	$	12,725	$	35,701	$	21,431

The fair value of these investments are included in "Other assets" in the company's consolidated balance sheets, and the related unrealized holding gains or losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets.

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 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 income." The ineffective portion of the interest rate swap, if any, is recorded in "Interest and other financing expense, net" in the company's consolidated statements of operations.

In April 2014, the company entered into an interest rate swap, with a notional amount of $50,000. The swap modifies the company's interest rate exposure by effectively converting a portion of the fixed 6.00% notes to a floating rate, based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 4.2% at September 27, 2014), through its maturity. The swap is classified as a fair value hedge and had a negative fair value of $290 at September 27, 2014.

In April 2014, the company entered into an interest rate swap, with a notional amount of $50,000. The swap modifies the company's interest rate exposure by effectively converting a portion of the fixed 6.875% senior debentures to a floating rate, based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 5.5% at September 27, 2014), through its maturity. The swap is classified as a fair value hedge and had a negative fair value of $289 at September 27, 2014.

In September 2011, the company entered into a ten-year forward-starting interest rate swap (the "2011 swap") which locked in a treasury rate of 2.63% on an aggregate notional amount of $175,000. This swap managed the risk associated with changes in treasury rates and the impact of future interest payments. The 2011 swap related to the interest payments for anticipated debt issuances to replace the company's 6.875% senior notes due to mature in July 2013. The 2011 swap was classified as a cash flow hedge. In the first nine months of 2013, the company paid $7,700 to terminate the 2011 swap upon issuance of the ten-year notes due in 2023. The fair value of the 2011 swap is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" and is being reclassified into income over the ten-year term of the notes due in 2023. For the 2011 swap, the company reclassified into income $(165) and $(489) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 and $(157) and $(87) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

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 September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $365,568 and $445,684, respectively.

The fair values of derivative instruments in the company's consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

Contingent Consideration

In connection with one of the 2014 acquisitions, payment of a portion of the respective purchase price is contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results, with maximum possible payouts of $9,000 over an eighteen-month period. Additionally, in connection with three acquisitions prior to 2014, payment of a portion of the respective purchase price is contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results, with maximum possible payouts of $6,000 over a two-year period and $23,400 at the end of a three-year period. The company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using the weighted probabilities of the possible payments. The company reassesses the fair value of the contingent consideration on a quarterly basis. Contingent consideration of $7,729 and $3,050 was included in "Accrued Expenses" and "Other liabilities" in the company's consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2014, respectively. Contingent consideration of $2,123 and $3,722 was included in "Accrued Expenses" and "Other liabilities" in the company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, respectively. A twenty percent increase or decrease in projected operating performance over the remaining performance period would not result in a material change in the fair value of the contingent consideration recorded as of September 27, 2014.

Other

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.

Note I – Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

Note L – Employee Benefit Plans

The company maintains an unfunded Arrow supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP") under which the company will pay supplemental pension benefits to certain employees upon retirement. Additionally, as part of the company's acquisition of Wyle in 2000, the company acquired a defined benefit plan from Wyle which provided retirement benefits for certain employees. Benefits under this plan were frozen as of December 31, 2000. The components of the net periodic benefit costs for the Arrow SERP and Wyle benefit plan are as follows:

Note M – Contingencies

Environmental Matters

In connection with the purchase of Wyle in August 2000, the company acquired certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle, including Wyle's indemnification obligations to the purchasers of its Wyle Laboratories division for environmental clean-up costs associated with any then existing contamination or violation of environmental regulations. Under the terms of the 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. During 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.

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

(Unaudited)

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

Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater continues at the site in Huntsville, Alabama. Under the direction of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, approximately $4,000 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 $500 to $750. 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 $3,000 and $4,000.

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 $46,000 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 $16,820 to $24,500. 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.

Tekelec Matter

In 2000, the company purchased Tekelec Europe SA ("Tekelec") from Tekelec Airtronic SA and certain other selling shareholders. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, Tekelec received a product liability claim in the amount of €11,333. The product liability claim was the subject of a French legal proceeding started by the claimant in 2002, under which separate determinations were made as to whether the products that are subject to the claim were defective and the amount of damages sustained by the purchaser. The manufacturer of the products also participated in this proceeding. The claimant commenced legal proceedings against Tekelec and its insurers to recover damages in the amount of €3,742 and expenses of €312 plus interest. In May 2012, the French court ruled in favor of Tekelec and dismissed the plaintiff's claims. However, that decision has been appealed by the plaintiff. The company believes that any amount in addition to the amount accrued by the company would not materially adversely impact the company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Antitrust Investigation

On January 21, 2014, the company received a Civil Investigative Demand in connection with an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") relating generally to the use of a database program (the “database program”) that has operated for more than ten years under the auspices of the Global Technology Distribution Council ("GTDC"), a trade group of which the company is a member. Under the database program, certain members of the GTDC who participate in the program provide sales data to a third party independent contractor chosen by the GTDC. The data is aggregated by the third party and the aggregated data is made available to the program participants. The company understands that other members participating in the database program have received similar Civil Investigative Demands.

In April 2014, the company responded to the Civil Investigative Demand. The Civil Investigative Demand merely sought information, and no proceedings have been instituted against any person. The company continues to believe that there has not been any conduct by the company or its employees that would be actionable under the antitrust laws in connection with its participation in the database program. Since this matter is at a preliminary stage, it is not possible to predict the potential impact, if any, of the Civil Investigative Demand or whether any actions may be instituted by the FTC against any person.

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 provides one of the broadest product offerings in the electronic components and enterprise computing solutions distribution industries and a wide range of value-added services to help 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 through its global ECS business segment. For the first nine months of 2014, approximately 65% of the company's sales were from the global components business segment, and approximately 35% 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/or expand its geographic reach.

Subsequent to quarter end, the company completed two acquisitions for a purchase price of approximately $37.0 million in cash. The impact of these acquisitions is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

During the first nine months of 2014, the company completed three acquisitions. During 2013, the company completed five acquisitions, including the acquisition of CSS Computer Security Solutions Holding GmbH, doing business as ComputerLinks AG. Refer to Note C, "Acquisitions," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the company's recent acquisition activity.

Executive Summary

Consolidated sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 increased by 11.2% and 7.7%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increase for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 was driven by an increase in the global components business segment sales of 7.6% and 6.6%, respectively, and an increase in the global ECS business segment sales of 19.0% and 9.8%, respectively. The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in consolidated sales of 1.0% for the first nine months of 2014, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a weaker U.S. dollar.

Net income attributable to shareholders increased to $146.9 million and $381.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $96.8 million and $264.6 million in the year-earlier periods. The following items impacted the comparability of the company's results:

Third quarters of 2014 and 2013:


•	restructuring, integration, and other charges of $3.9 million ($2.6 million net of related taxes) in 2014 and $22.6 million ($16.1 million net of related taxes) in 2013;


•	identifiable intangible asset amortization of $11.1 million ($9.1 million net of related taxes) in 2014 and $8.9 million ($7.1 million net of relates taxes) in 2013; and


•	a gain on sale of investment of $29.7 million ($18.3 million net of related taxes) in 2014.

First nine months of 2014 and 2013:


•	restructuring, integration, and other charges of $25.2 million ($18.1 million net of related taxes) in 2014 and $74.4 million ($52.3 million net of related taxes) in 2013;


•	identifiable intangible asset amortization of $32.9 million ($26.9 million net of related taxes) in 2014 and $26.8 million ($21.2 million net of relates taxes) in 2013;


•	a gain on sale of investment of $29.7 million ($18.3 million net of related taxes) in 2014;


•	a loss on prepayment of debt of $4.3 million ($2.6 million net of related taxes) in 2013; and


•	an increase in the provision for income taxes of $5.4 million and interest expense of $1.5 million ($.9 million net of related taxes) relating to the settlement of certain international tax matters in 2013.

Excluding the aforementioned items, net income attributable to shareholders for the third quarter of 2014 increased compared to the year-earlier period, primarily due to an increase in sales in the global components and global ECS segments, and the impact of recent acquisitions. Excluding the aforementioned items, net income attributable to shareholders for the first nine months of 2014 increased compared to the year-earlier period, primarily due to an increase in sales in the global components and global ECS segments, the impact of recent acquisitions, and the effect of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company's financial statements.

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") and the impact of acquisitions by adjusting the company's prior periods to include the operating results of businesses acquired, including the amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented (referred to as "impact of acquisitions");


•	Operating income as adjusted to exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization and restructuring, integration, and other charges; and


•	Net income attributable to shareholders as adjusted to exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, gain on sale of investment, loss on prepayment of debt, and settlement of certain international tax matters.

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 third quarter and first nine months of 2014 increased by $565.0 million, or 11.2%, and $1.17 billion, or 7.7%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increase for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 was driven by an increase in global components business segment sales of $264.0 million, or 7.6%, and $663.3 million, or 6.6%, respectively, and by an increase in global ECS business segment sales of $301.0 million or 19.0%, and $504.6 million or 9.8%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in consolidated sales of 1.0% for the first nine months of 2014, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a weaker U.S. dollar. Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, the company's consolidated sales increased by 5.8% for the third quarter of 2014 and increased by 1.8% for the first nine months of 2014, compared with the year-earlier periods.

In the global components business segment, sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 increased 7.6% and 6.6%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods primarily due to an increase in demand for products worldwide, the impact of recently acquired businesses, and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company's international financial statements. Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, the company's global components business segment sales increased by 5.4% and 4.0% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

In the global ECS business segment, sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 increased 19.0% and 9.8%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods, primarily driven by growth in services and software, offset, in part, by a decrease in demand for servers. Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, the company's global ECS business segment sales increased by 6.7% and decreased by 2.1% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

Gross Profit

Following is an analysis of gross profit (in millions):



	Quarter Ended									Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2014			September 28, 2013			% Change			September 27, 2014			September 28, 2013			% Change
Consolidated gross profit, as reported	$	729		$	672		8.5	%		$	2,180		$	2,003		8.8	%
Impact of changes in foreign currencies	—			(1		)				—			16
Impact of acquisitions	3			46						23			145
Consolidated gross profit, as adjusted	$	732		$	717		2.1	%		$	2,203		$	2,164		1.8	%
Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales, as reported	13.0		%	13.3		%	(30	)	bps	13.3		%	13.2		%	10		bps
Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales, as adjusted	13.0		%	13.5		%	(50	)	bps	13.4		%	13.4		%	flat

The company recorded gross profit of $728.7 million and $2.18 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared with $671.7 million and $2.00 billion in the year-earlier periods. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the aforementioned 11.2% and 7.7% increase in sales during the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. Gross profit margins decreased approximately 30 basis points in the third quarter of 2014 and increased approximately 10 basis points in the first nine months of 2014, compared with the year-earlier periods. Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, the company's consolidated gross profit margins decreased approximately 50 basis points in the third quarter of 2014 and remained flat in the first nine months of 2014, compared with the year-earlier periods. The decrease in the third quarter of 2014 is primarily due to a change in geographic mix with Asia Pacific components being a larger percentage of the global components’ consolidated sales compared with the year-earlier period. The gross profit margin also decreased in the global ECS business segment compared with the year-earlier period. The gross profit margins of products sold in the global components business segment are typically higher than the gross profit margins of products in the global ECS business segment and the gross profit margins of the components sold in the Americas and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) tend to be higher than the gross profit margins of products in the Asia Pacific region. The financial impact of the lower gross profit margins in the global ECS business segment and the Asia Pacific region were offset, in part, by lower operating costs in these businesses relative to the company's other businesses.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses and Depreciation and Amortization

Following is an analysis of operating expenses (in millions):



	Quarter Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2014		September 28, 2013		% Change		September 27, 2014		September 28, 2013		% Change

Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales were 8.7% and 8.9% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared with 9.0% and 9.1% in the year-earlier periods.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $6.6 million, or 20.5%, and $18.8 million, or 19.5%, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, compared with the year-earlier periods, primarily due to recent acquisitions and further implementation of the company's enterprise resource planning ("ERP") initiative. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is identifiable intangible asset amortization of $11.1 million ($9.1 million net of related taxes or $.09 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and $32.9 million ($26.9 million net of related taxes or $.27 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, and $8.9 million ($7.1 million net of related taxes or $.07 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and $26.8 million ($21.2 million net of related taxes or $.21 and $.20 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively.

The company recorded net income attributable to shareholders of $146.9 million and $381.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $96.8 million and $264.6 million in the year-earlier periods. Net income attributable to shareholders, as adjusted was $140.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $119.9 million in the year-earlier period primarily due to an increase in sales in the global components and global ECS segments, and the impact of recent acquisitions. Net income attributable to shareholders, as adjusted was $408.6 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared with $347.0 million in the year-earlier period primarily due to an increase in sales in the global components and global ECS segments, the impact of recent acquisitions, and the effect of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company's financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $258.2 million and $390.6 million, respectively, of which $221.5 million and $347.4 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, it would be required to record and pay significant United States income taxes to repatriate 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 pay vendors and conduct operations throughout the global organization.

During the first nine months of 2014, the net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities was $216.2 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $176.9 million, and the net amount of cash used for financing activities was $180.9 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was an increase of $9.1 million.

During the first nine months of 2013, the net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities was $235.6 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $131.9 million, and the net amount of cash used for financing activities was $287.5 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was an increase of $25.8 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 64.6% at September 27, 2014 and 65.8% at December 31, 2013.

The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities during the first nine months of 2014 was $216.2 million and was primarily due to earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items.

The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities during the first nine months of 2013 was $235.6 million and was primarily due to earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items, offset, in part, by an increase in net working capital to support the increase in sales.

Working capital as a percentage of sales was 15.6% in the third quarter of 2014 compared with 16.4% in the third quarter of 2013.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of 2014 was $176.9 million, reflecting $129.5 million of cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired, for acquired businesses, $40.5 million of proceeds from sale of investment, and $87.9 million for capital expenditures. Included in capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2014 is $57.0 million related to the company's global ERP initiative.

During the first nine months of 2014, the company completed three acquisitions. The aggregate consideration paid for these acquisitions was $129.5 million, net of cash acquired, contingent consideration, and other amounts withheld.

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of 2013 was $131.9 million, reflecting $43.4 million of cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired, for acquired businesses, $85.5 million for capital expenditures, and $3.0 million other. Included in capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2013 is $43.0 million related to the company's global ERP initiative.

During the first nine months of 2013, the company completed two acquisitions. The aggregate consideration paid for these acquisitions was $43.4 million, net of contingent consideration.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net amount of cash used for financing activities during the first nine months of 2014 was $180.9 million. The uses of cash from financing activities included $189.4 million of repurchases of common stock, $10.2 million of net repayments of long-term bank borrowings, and a $9.2 million decrease in short-term and other borrowings. The sources of cash from financing activities during the first nine months of 2014 were $28.0 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and other benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements.

The net amount of cash used for financing activities during the first nine months of 2013 was $287.5 million. The uses of cash from financing activities included $338.2 million of redemption of senior notes, $312.6 million of repurchases of common stock, $242.9 million of net repayments of long-term bank borrowings, and a $22.3 million decrease in short-term and other borrowings. The sources of cash from financing activities during the first nine months of 2013 were $591.2 million of net proceeds from a note offering, and $37.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and other benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements.

During the first nine months of 2013, the company completed the sale of $300.0 million principal amount of 3.00% notes due in 2018 and $300.0 million principal amount of 4.50% notes due in 2023. The net proceeds of the offering of $591.2 million were used to refinance the company's 6.875% senior notes due July 2013 and for general corporate purposes.

During the first nine months of 2013, the company redeemed $332.1 million principal amount of its 6.875% senior notes due July 2013. The related loss on the redemption for the first nine months of 2013 aggregated $4.3 million ($2.6 million net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt.

The company has a $1.50 billion revolving credit facility, maturing in December 2018. 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 and 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 (1.30% at September 27, 2014), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.40% at September 27, 2014. The facility fee is .20%. At September 27, 2014, the company had $49.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2013. During the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, the average daily balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility was $383.2 million and $417.9 million, respectively.

The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. In March 2014, the company amended its asset securitization program and, among other things, increased its borrowing capacity from $775.0 million to $900.0 million and extended its term to mature in March 2017. 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 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 September 27, 2014), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of .62% at September 27, 2014. The facility fee is .40%. The company had $360.0 million and $420.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program at September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, the average daily balance outstanding under the asset securitization program was $443.3 million and $262.2 million, respectively.

In April 2014, the company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. In September 2014, the company amended its uncommitted line of credit to increase its borrowing capacity from $70.0 million to $100.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit at September 27, 2014.

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.

The company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2012 registering debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, and warrants of Arrow Electronics, Inc. that may be issued by the company from time to time. As set forth in the shelf registration statement, the net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities may be used by the company for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and stock repurchases, or for such other purposes as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

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.

Contractual Obligations

The company has contractual obligations for short-term and long-term debt, interest on short-term and long-term debt, capital leases, operating leases, purchase obligations, and certain other long-term liabilities that were summarized in a table of Contractual Obligations in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Since December 31, 2013, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations of the company, outside the ordinary course of the company’s business, except as follows:

•	At September 27, 2014, the company had $49.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility which matures in December 2018. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2013.

Share-Repurchase Programs

In July 2013, the company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the repurchase of up to $200 million of the company's common stock through a share-repurchase program. In May 2014, the company's Board approved an additional repurchase of up to $200 million of the company's common stock. As of September 27, 2014, the company repurchased 4,037,375 shares under these programs with a market value of $223.6 million at the dates of repurchase, of which 852,286 shares with a market value of $50.0 million were repurchased during the third quarter of 2014.

Subsequent to quarter end, the company repurchased 1,140,967 shares through October 24, 2014 under the May 2014 program with a market value of $55.4 million at the dates of repurchase.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The company has no off-balance sheet financing or unconsolidated special purpose entities.

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.

There were no significant changes during the first nine months of 2014 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, 2013.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates from the information provided in Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, except as follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $365.6 million and $445.7 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign exchange contracts, which are nominal, are estimated using market quotes. The translation of the financial statements of the non-United States operations is impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The change in consolidated sales and operating income was impacted by the translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars. For the first nine months of 2014, the translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in sales and operating income of $105.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, compared with the year-earlier period. Sales and operating income would decrease by approximately $498.4 million and $18.1 million, respectively, if average foreign exchange rates declined by 10% against the U.S. dollar in the first nine months of 2014. These amounts were determined by considering the impact of a hypothetical foreign exchange rate on the sales and operating income of the company's international operations.

Interest Rate Risk

At September 27, 2014, approximately 77% of the company's debt was subject to fixed rates, and 23% of its debt was subject to floating rates. A one percentage point change in average interest rates would not materially impact net interest and other financing expense for the first nine months of 2014. This was determined by considering the impact of a hypothetical interest rate on the company's average floating rate on investments and outstanding debt. This analysis does not consider the effect of the level of overall economic activity that could exist. In the event of a change in the level of economic activity, which may adversely impact interest rates, the company could likely take actions to further mitigate any potential negative exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that might be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the company's financial structure.

In April 2014, the company entered into an interest rate swap, with a notional amount of $50.0 million. The swap modifies the company's interest rate exposure by effectively converting a portion of the fixed 6.00% notes to a floating rate, based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 4.2% at September 27, 2014), through its maturity. The swap is classified as a fair value hedge and had a negative fair value of $.3 million at September 27, 2014.

In April 2014, the company entered into an interest rate swap, with a notional amount of $50.0 million. The swap modifies the company's interest rate exposure by effectively converting a portion of the fixed 6.875% senior debentures to a floating rate, based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 5.5% at September 27, 2014), through its maturity. The swap is classified as a fair value hedge and had a negative fair value of $.3 million at September 27, 2014.

In September 2011, the company entered into a ten-year forward-starting interest rate swap (the "2011 swap") which locked in a treasury rate of 2.63% on an aggregate notional amount of $175.0 million. This swap managed the risk associated with changes in treasury rates and the impact of future interest payments. The 2011 swap related to the interest payments for anticipated debt issuances to replace the company's 6.875% senior notes due to mature in July 2013. The 2011 swap was classified as a cash flow hedge. In the first nine months of 2013, the company paid $7.7 million to terminate the 2011 swap upon issuance of the ten-year notes due in 2023. The fair value of the 2011 swap is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" and is being reclassified into income over the ten-year term of the notes due in 2023. For the 2011 swap, the company reclassified into income $(.2) million and $(.5) million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 and $(.2) million and $(.1) million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively.
