Arrow Electronics Reports Third-Quarter 2020 Results
-- Third-Quarter Earnings Per Share of $2.13; Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share of $2.08 --
-- Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $275 Million --
CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-Oct. 29, 2020--Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today reported third-quarter 2020 sales of $7.23 billion, an increase of 2 percent from sales of $7.08 billion in the third quarter of 2019. Third-quarter net income was $166 million, or $2.13 per share on a diluted basis, compared with a net income of $92 million, or $1.10 per share on a diluted basis, in the third quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP net income1 was $162 million, or $2.08 per share on a diluted basis, in the third quarter of 2020, compared with non-GAAP net income of $155 million, or $1.86 per share on a diluted basis, in the third quarter of 2019.
“Our strong financial performance this quarter is a testament to the strength of our business model,” said Michael J. Long, chairman, president, and chief executive officer. “Arrow is a trusted provider of critical technology solutions, and we believe strong demand for the products and solutions we provide will endure and increase beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Customers and suppliers are choosing to do more business with Arrow because of our growing engineering, design, supply chain management and hybrid cloud solution capabilities. The hard work of our talented team and their unwavering focus on providing customers with the products and solutions they need, when they need them, has allowed us to capitalize on opportunities leading to financial performance that was above our expectations.”
Global components third-quarter sales of $5.31 billion increased 5 percent year over year. Asia-Pacific components sales increased 29 percent year over year. Americas components sales decreased 13 percent year over year. Non-GAAP sales in the region decreased 10 percent year over year. Europe components sales decreased 8 percent year over year. Non-GAAP sales in the region decreased 12 percent year over year. Global components third-quarter operating income was $204 million. Third-quarter non-GAAP operating income was $208 million.
“Robust third-quarter global components sales demonstrate the vital role we play in the supply chains of manufacturing customers around the world,” continued Mr. Long. “Sales were above the high-end of our expectations driven by tremendous growth in Asia, where our business has doubled in size over the last five years due to our consistent investments in the region to support innovation and invention.”
Global enterprise computing solutions third-quarter sales of $1.92 billion decreased 5 percent year over year. Non-GAAP sales decreased 7 percent year over year. Europe enterprise computing solutions sales increased 6 percent year over year. Non-GAAP sales in the region increased 1 percent year over year. Americas enterprise computing solutions sales decreased 10 percent year over year. Global enterprise computing solutions third-quarter operating income was $83 million. Third-quarter non-GAAP operating income was $85 million.
“Third-quarter global enterprise computing solutions sales were near the high-end of our prior outlook, led by the cloud and security solutions that enable business continuity and remote working,” said Mr. Long. “We continue to be a source of stability for our customers and suppliers facing challenging market conditions.”
“Our financial results demonstrated the resilience of Arrow’s business model,” said Chris Stansbury, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “Third-quarter cash flow from operations was $275 million, driven by disciplined working capital management and healthy profitability from our leading positions in the markets we serve. As always, we remain committed to returning excess cash to shareholders. During the third quarter, we returned approximately $150 million to shareholders through our stock repurchase program, ending the quarter with approximately $563 million of remaining authorization under our share repurchase program. Our balance sheet and liquidity position remain strong, and we are pleased to report that return on invested capital increased year over year for the second straight quarter.”

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking” statements, as the term is defined under the federal securities laws, including but not limited to statements regarding: Arrow’s future financial performance, including its outlook on financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, such as sales, net income per diluted share, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, average tax rate, average diluted shares outstanding, interest expense, average USD-to-Euro exchange rate, impact to sales due to changes in foreign currencies, intangible amortization expense per diluted share, restructuring & integration charges per diluted share, and expectation regarding market demand. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: potential adverse effects of the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, including actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus, industry conditions, changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand, competition, other vagaries in the global components and global enterprise computing solutions markets, changes in relationships with key suppliers, increased profit margin pressure, changes in legal and regulatory matters, non-compliance with certain regulations, such as export, anti-trust, and anti-corruption laws, foreign tax and other loss contingencies, and the company's ability to generate cash flow. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the company's periodic reports on Form 10-K, the Form 10-Q and subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements.
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 provides certain non-GAAP financial information relating to sales, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders, and net income per basic and diluted share.
The company provides non-GAAP sales, gross profit, operating income, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, and net income per share on a diluted basis which are adjusted GAAP measures for the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as "changes in foreign currencies") by re-translating prior period results at current period foreign exchange rates, the impact of dispositions by adjusting the company’s operating results for businesses disposed, as if the dispositions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented (referred to as "dispositions"), the impact of the company’s personal computer and mobility asset disposition business (referred to as "wind down"), the impact of inventory write-downs and recoveries related to the digital business (referred to as “digital inventory write-downs and recoveries”), and the impact of notes receivable reserves and recoveries and inventory write-downs and recoveries related to the AFS business (referred to as “AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries” and “AFS inventory write-downs and recoveries,” respectively). Non-GAAP operating income excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, loss on

disposition of businesses, net, AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries and inventory write-downs and recoveries, digital inventory write-downs and recoveries, the impact of non-cash charges related to goodwill, trade names, and long-lived assets, and the impact of wind down. Net income attributable to shareholders, and net income per basic and diluted share as adjusted to exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, loss on disposition of businesses, net, AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries and inventory write-downs and recoveries, digital inventory write-downs and recoveries, net gains and losses on investments, the impact of non-cash charges related to goodwill, trade names, and long-lived assets, certain tax adjustments, pension settlement gain, and the impact of wind down. A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the tables below.
The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company’s operating performance and underlying trends in the company’s business because management considers these items referred to above to be outside the company’s core operating results. This non-GAAP financial information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company’s financial and operating performance. In addition, the company’s Board of Directors may use this non-GAAP financial information in evaluating management performance and setting management compensation.
The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or alternative to, sales, operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.
