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, 2014, 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 April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) ("ASU No. 2015-03"). ASU No. 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the corresponding debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. Effective January 1, 2015, the company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2015-03. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2015-03 did not materially impact the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. Prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

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, 2017, with early application permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. 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.

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

ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

(Unaudited)

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.

2015 Acquisitions

On March 31, 2015, the company acquired immixGroup, Inc. ("immixGroup"), for a purchase price of $279,271, which included $32,566 of cash acquired. immixGroup is a value-added provider supporting value-added resellers, solution providers, service providers, and other public sector channel partners with specialized resources to accelerate their government sales. immixGroup has operations in North America.

Since the date of the acquisition, immixGroup sales for the second quarter of 2015 of $96,524 were included in the company's consolidated results of operations.

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 immixGroup acquisition:



Accounts receivable, net	$	157,130
Other current assets	34,269
Property, plant, and equipment	1,569
Other assets	5,313
Identifiable intangible assets	60,000
Cost in excess of net assets acquired	154,591
Accounts payable	(136,921		)
Accrued expenses	(23,719		)
Other liabilities	(5,527		)
Cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired	$	246,705

In connection with the immixGroup acquisition, the company allocated $60,000 to customer relationships with a weighted-average life of 8 years.

The cost in excess of net assets acquired related to the immixGroup acquisition was recorded in the company's global ECS business segment. The intangible assets related to the immixGroup acquisition are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

During the first six months of 2015, the company completed five additional acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $223,969, net of cash acquired, inclusive of a 53.7% acquisition of Data Modul AG. The company also assumed $84,487 in debt in connection with these acquisitions. 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 second quarter and first six months of 2015, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company, as though the 2015 acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2015:

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 2015, 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.

2014 Acquisitions

During 2014, the company completed five acquisitions. The aggregate consideration paid for these acquisitions was $162,881, 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 second quarter and first six months of 2014 as though these acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2014 was also not material.

The following table summarizes the company's unaudited consolidated results of operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company, as though the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2014:

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

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 June 27, 2015), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.42% at June 27, 2015.

(Unaudited)

The facility fee is .20%. At June 27, 2015, the company had $19,400 in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2014.

The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. The company may borrow up to $900,000 under the asset securitization program, which matures 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 June 27, 2015), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of .63% at June 27, 2015. The facility fee is .40%.

At June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the company had $290,000 and $275,000, 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 $1,534,198 and $2,060,589, 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 June 27, 2015 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.

During the first six months of 2015, the company completed the sale of $350,000 principal amount of 3.50% notes due in 2022 and $350,000 principal amount of 4.00% notes due in 2025. The net proceeds of the offering of $688,162 were used to refinance the company's 3.375% notes due November 2015 and for general corporate purposes.

During the first six months of 2015, the company redeemed $250,000 principal amount of its 3.375% notes due November 2015. The related loss on the redemption for the first six months of 2015 aggregated $2,943 ($1,808 net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt which was included in "Other" in the company's consolidated statements of operations.

During 2014, the company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. Under this agreement, the company may borrow up to a total of $100,000. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $1,489 and $2,462 for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 and $750 and $1,529 for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, 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 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 loss" 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 loss." 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 January 2015, the company entered into four seven-year forward-starting interest rate swaps (the "2015 swaps") which locked in an average treasury rate of 1.98% on a total aggregate notional amount of $200,000. These 2015 swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and managed the risk associated with changes in treasury rates and the impact of future interest payments on the anticipated debt issuances to replace the company's 3.375% notes due to mature in November 2015. In February 2015, the company received $896 in connection with the termination of the 2015 swaps upon issuance of the seven-year notes due in 2022. The fair value of the 2015 swaps is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" and is being reclassified into income over the seven-year term of the notes due in 2022. For the 2015 swaps, the company reclassified into income $30 and $39 for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively.

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 interest rate of 4.30% at June 27, 2015), through its maturity. The swap is classified as a fair value hedge and had a fair value of $372 at June 27, 2015.

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 interest rate of 5.72% at June 27, 2015), through its maturity. The swap is classified as a fair value hedge and had a fair value of $197 at June 27, 2015.

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 June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $372,100 and $401,048, respectively.

Contingent Consideration

The company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using the weighted probability of the possible payments. The company reassesses the fair value of the contingent consideration on a quarterly basis. At June 27, 2015, contingent consideration of $3,528 was included in "Accrued Expenses" in the company's consolidated balance sheet in connection with two acquisitions prior to 2015. There was no contingent consideration recorded in connection with the 2015 acquisitions. For the acquisitions completed prior to 2015, payment of a portion of the respective purchase price is contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results, with a remaining maximum possible payout of $8,400 in 2016. 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 June 27, 2015.

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.

Share-Repurchase Programs

During 2014, the company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the repurchase of up to $400,000 ($200,000 in May and December, respectively) of the company's common stock through a share-repurchase program. As of June 27, 2015, the company repurchased 4,955,350 shares under these programs with a market value of $280,597 at the dates of repurchase, of which 1,303,642 shares with a market value of $77,694 were repurchased during the second quarter of 2015.

Note L – 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 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 $4,000 was spent to date. The pace of the ongoing remedial investigations, project management, and regulatory oversight is likely to increase 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

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

(Unaudited)

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 $48,000 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 $16,300 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. In January 2015, the Court of Appeals confirmed the French court's ruling; however, the ruling remains subject to a final appeal 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

(Unaudited)

participation in the database program. At this time, 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.

Note M – Segment and Geographic Information

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 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 provides 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 six months of 2015, 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.

Executive Summary

Consolidated sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 increased by 2.7% and 0.7%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increase for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 was driven by an increase in the global components business segment sales of 3.6% and 0.8%, respectively, and an increase in the global ECS business segment sales of 1.2% and 0.5%, respectively. Adjusted for changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, consolidated sales increased 2.8% and 3.1%, for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

Net income attributable to shareholders decreased to $123.9 million and $230.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $127.9 million and $235.0 million in the year-earlier periods. The following items impacted the comparability of the company's results:

Second quarters of 2015 and 2014:


•	restructuring, integration, and other charges of $17.1 million ($12.9 million net of related taxes) in 2015 and $9.6 million ($7.5 million net of related taxes) in 2014;


•	identifiable intangible asset amortization of $13.9 million ($11.2 million net of related taxes) in 2015 and $10.9 million ($8.9 million net of related taxes) in 2014; and


•	a loss on investment of $1.5 million ($0.9 million net of related taxes) in 2015.

First six months of 2015 and 2014:


•	restructuring, integration, and other charges of $33.3 million ($25.5 million net of related taxes) in 2015 and $21.2 million ($15.5 million net of related taxes) in 2014;


•	identifiable intangible asset amortization of $25.0 million ($20.2 million net of related taxes) in 2015 and $21.8 million ($17.8 million net of related taxes) in 2014;


•	a loss on prepayment of debt of $2.9 million ($1.8 million net of related taxes) in 2015;


•	a gain on sale of investment of $2.0 million ($1.7 million net of related taxes) in 2015; and


•	a loss on investment of $1.5 million ($0.9 million net of related taxes) in 2015.

Excluding the aforementioned items, net income attributable to shareholders for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 increased to $148.9 million and $276.7 million, respectively, compared with $144.3 million and $268.3 million in the year-earlier periods.

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 earliest 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, loss on prepayment of debt, gain on sale of investment, and loss on investment.

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):

Global ECS sales, as adjusted	$	2,132	$	2,098		1.6	%	$	3,879	$	3,738		3.8	%

Consolidated sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 increased by $153.5 million, or 2.7%, and $73.8 million, or 0.7%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increase for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 was driven by an increase in global components business segment sales of $128.8 million, or 3.6%, and $54.4 million, or 0.8%, respectively, and by an increase in global ECS business segment sales of $24.6 million, or 1.2%, and $19.4 million, or 0.5%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. Adjusted for changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, consolidated sales increased 2.8% and 3.1%, for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

In the global components business segment, sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 increased 3.6% and 0.8%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods, primarily due to increased demand in the Asia Pacific region. Adjusted for the

impact of changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, the company's global components business segment sales increased by 3.4% and 2.8% for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

In the global ECS business segment, sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 increased 1.2% and 0.5%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, the company's global ECS business segment sales increased by 1.6% and 3.8% for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales, as adjusted	13.1		%	13.2		%	(10	)	bps	13.4		%	13.5		%	(10	)	bps

The company recorded gross profit of $768.6 million and $1.45 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with $747.5 million and $1.45 billion in the year-earlier periods. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the aforementioned 2.7% and 0.7% increase in sales during the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively. Gross profit margins for the second quarter of 2015 were flat and decreased approximately 10 basis points for the first six months of 2015, 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 10 basis points for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, compared with the year-earlier periods. The decrease in gross profit margins is primarily due to increased competitive pricing pressure in the global ECS business segment as compared with the year-earlier period.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 8.7% and 8.9% for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with 8.6% and 9.0% in the year-earlier periods.

Adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and acquisitions, operating expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 increased 3.1% and 1.9%, respectively.

Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

2015 Charges

Operating Income

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



	Quarter Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 27, 2015			June 28, 2014			June 27, 2015			June 28, 2014
Consolidated operating income, as reported	$	207		$	208		$	384		$	386
Identifiable intangible asset amortization	14			11			25			22
Restructuring, integration, and other charges	17			10			33			21
Consolidated operating income, as adjusted*	$	238		$	229		$	443		$	429
Consolidated operating income, as reported as a percentage of sales, as reported	3.5		%	3.7		%	3.5		%	3.6		%
Consolidated operating income, as adjusted as a percentage of sales, as reported	4.1		%	4.0		%	4.1		%	4.0		%

* 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 $206.9 million, or 3.5% of sales, and $384.4 million, or 3.5% of sales, in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with operating income of $208.3 million, or 3.7% of sales, and $386.0 million, or 3.6% of sales, in the year-earlier periods. Excluding identifiable intangible asset amortization and restructuring, integration, and other charges, operating income, as adjusted was $238.0 million, or 4.1% of sales, and $442.7 million, or 4.1% of sales, in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with operating income, as adjusted of $228.8 million, or 4.0% of sales, and $429.1 million, or 4.0% of sales in the year-earlier periods.

Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net

The company recorded net interest and other financing expense of $34.7 million and $65.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, compared with $28.9 million and $58.6 million in the year-earlier periods. The increase for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 was primarily due to higher average debt outstanding that was used to refinance the company's 3.375% notes due November 1, 2015 before maturity and for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions or the repayment of other indebtedness.

Other

During the second quarter of 2015, the company recorded a loss on investment of $1.5 million ($0.9 million net of related taxes or $.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis).

During the first six months of 2015, the company recorded a loss on prepayment of debt of $2.9 million ($1.8 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis), related to the redemption of $250.0 million principal amount of its 3.375% notes due November 2015, and a gain on sale of investment of $2.0 million ($1.7 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis).

Income Taxes

The company recorded a provision for income taxes of $48.0 million and $88.8 million (an effective tax rate of 27.8%) for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively. The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 were impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges, loss on prepayment of debt, gain on sale of investment, and loss on investment. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, the company's effective tax rate for both the second quarter and first six months of 2015 was 27.6%.

The company recorded a provision for income taxes of $52.5 million and $94.8 million (an effective tax rate of 29.1% and 28.7%) for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively. The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 were impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, the company's effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 was 28.7% and 28.6%, respectively.

The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate are impacted by, among other factors, the statutory tax rates in the countries in which it operates and the related level of income generated by these operations.

Net Income Attributable to Shareholders

Following is an analysis of net income attributable to shareholders (in millions):



	Quarter Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 27, 2015		June 28, 2014		June 27, 2015			June 28, 2014

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

The company recorded net income attributable to shareholders of $123.9 million and $230.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $127.9 million and $235.0 million in the year-earlier periods. Net income attributable to shareholders, as adjusted was $148.9 million and $276.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, compared with $144.3 million and $268.3 million in the year-earlier periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $399.7 million and $400.4 million, respectively, of which $166.8 million and $300.9 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 six months of 2015, the net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities was $219.4 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $537.5 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $325.3 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a decrease of $7.9 million.

During the first six months of 2014, the net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities was $283.5 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $122.2 million, and the net amount of cash used for financing activities was $244.1 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was an increase of $1.2 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 62.8% at June 27, 2015 and 67.4% at December 31, 2014.

The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities during the first six months of 2015 was $219.4 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 six months of 2014 was $283.5 million and was primarily due to earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items.

Working capital as a percentage of sales was 14.7% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 14.8% in the second quarter of 2014.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first six months of 2015 was $537.5 million, reflecting $470.7 million of cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired, for acquired businesses and $68.8 million for capital expenditures. The source of cash from investing activities during the first six months of 2015 was $2.0 million related to the sale of investment. Included in capital expenditures for the first six months of 2015 is $22.4 million related to the company's global enterprise resource planning ("ERP") initiative.

During the first six months of 2015 the company completed six acquisitions, inclusive of a 53.7% acquisition of Data Modul AG. The aggregate consideration paid for these acquisitions was $470.7 million, net of cash acquired.

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first six months of 2014 was $122.2 million, reflecting $60.2 million of cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired, for acquired businesses and $62.0 million for capital expenditures. Included in capital expenditures for the first six months of 2014 is $30.4 million related to the company's global ERP initiative.

During the first six months of 2014, the company completed one acquisition. The aggregate consideration paid for this acquisition was $60.2 million, net of cash acquired, contingent consideration, and other amounts withheld.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net amount of cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2015 was $325.3 million. The uses of cash from financing activities included a $3.8 million decrease in short-term and other borrowings, $254.3 million of redemption of notes, $156.4 million of repurchases of common stock, and other contingent consideration payments of $3.0 million. The sources of cash from financing activities during the first six months of 2015 were $34.4 million of net proceeds from long-term bank borrowings, $688.2 million of net proceeds from a note offering, and $20.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and other benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements.

During the first six months of 2015, the company completed the sale of $350.0 million principal amount of 3.50% notes due in 2022 and $350.0 million principal amount of 4.00% notes due in 2025. The net proceeds of the offering of $688.2 million were used to refinance the company's 3.375% notes due November 2015 and for general corporate purposes.

During the first six months of 2015, the company redeemed $250.0 million principal amount of its 3.375% notes due November 2015. The related loss on the redemption for the first six months of 2015 aggregated $2.9 million ($1.8 million net of related taxes or $.02 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.

The net amount of cash used for financing activities during the first six months of 2014 was $244.1 million. The uses of cash from financing activities included $138.8 million of repurchases of common stock, $120.0 million of net repayments of long-term bank borrowings, and a $9.9 million decrease in short-term and other borrowings. The sources of cash from financing activities during the first six months of 2014 were $24.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and other benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements.

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 June 27, 2015), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.42% at June 27, 2015. The facility fee is .20%. At June 27, 2015, the company had $19.4 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2014. During the first six months of 2015 and 2014, the average daily balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility was $393.6 million and $416.7 million, respectively.

The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. The company may borrow up to $900.0 million under the asset securitization program, which matures in March 2017. The asset securitization program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation, 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 June 27, 2015), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of .63% at June 27, 2015. The facility fee is .40%. The company had $290.0 million and $275.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. During the first six months of 2015 and 2014, the average daily balance outstanding under the asset securitization program was $407.2 million and $396.6 million, respectively.

During 2014, the company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. Under this agreement, the company may borrow up to a total of $100.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 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, 2014. Since December 31, 2014, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations of the company, outside the ordinary course of the company’s business, except as follows:


•	During the first six months of 2015, the company completed the sale of $350.0 million principal amount of 3.50% notes due in 2022 and $350.0 million principal amount of 4.00% notes due in 2025.


•	During the first six months of 2015, the company redeemed $250.0 million principal amount of its 3.375% notes due November 2015.

Share-Repurchase Programs

During 2014, the company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the repurchase of up to $400 million ($200 million in May and December, respectively) of the company's common stock through a share-repurchase program. As of June 27, 2015, the company repurchased 4,955,350 shares under these programs with a market value of $280.6 million at the dates of repurchase, of which 1,303,642 shares with a market value of $77.7 million were repurchased during the second quarter of 2015.

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 six months of 2015 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, 2014.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the anticipated dates of adoption and the effects on the company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements that are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: industry conditions, the company's implementation of its new enterprise resource planning system, changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand, competition, other vagaries in the global components and global ECS markets, changes in relationships with key suppliers, increased profit margin pressure, the effects of additional actions taken to become more efficient or lower costs, risks related to the integration of acquired businesses, changes in legal and regulatory matters, and the company’s ability to generate additional cash flow. Forward-looking statements are those statements which are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by forward-looking words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions. Shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements.


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, 2014, except as follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $372.1 million and $401.0 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 six months of 2015, the translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in a decrease in sales and operating income of $670.4 million and $21.6 million, respectively, compared with the year-earlier period. Sales and operating income would decrease by approximately $317.7 million and $13.3 million, respectively, if average foreign exchange rates declined by 10% against the U.S. dollar in the first six months of 2015. 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 June 27, 2015, approximately 81% of the company's debt was subject to fixed rates, and 19% 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 six months of 2015. 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 January 2015, the company entered into four seven-year forward-starting interest rate swaps (the "2015 swaps") which locked in an average treasury rate of 1.98% on a total aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million. These 2015 swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and managed the risk associated with changes in treasury rates and the impact of future interest payments on the anticipated debt issuances to replace the company's 3.375% notes due to mature in November 2015. In February 2015, the company received $.9 million in connection with the termination of the 2015 swaps upon issuance of the seven-year notes due in 2022. The fair value of the 2015 swaps is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" and is being reclassified into income over the seven-year term of the notes due in 2022. For the 2015 swaps, the company reclassified into income $.03 million and $.04 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively.

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 interest rate of 4.3% at June 27, 2015), through its maturity. The swap is classified as a fair value hedge and had a fair value of $.4 million at June 27, 2015.

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 interest rate of 5.7% at June 27, 2015), through its maturity. The swap is classified as a fair value hedge and had a fair value of $.2 million at June 27, 2015.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 27, 2015 (the "Evaluation"). Based upon the Evaluation, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.
