Exhibit 99.1
Arrow Electronics Reports Second-Quarter 2021 Results
-- Record Sales, Gross Profit, and Earnings per Share --
-- Announces Additional $600 Million Share Repurchase Authorization --
CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-Aug 5, 2021--Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today reported second-quarter 2021 sales of $8.56 billion, an increase of 30 percent from sales of $6.61 billion in the second quarter of 2020. Second-quarter net income was $241 million, or $3.23 per share on a diluted basis, compared with a net income of $133 million, or $1.68 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net income1 was $249 million, or $3.34 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2021, compared with non-GAAP net income of $126 million, or $1.59 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2020.
“Arrow reported record results this quarter, reflecting our constant efforts to capture new growth opportunities and harvest the benefits as leaders of information and operational technology innovation,” said Michael J. Long, chairman, president, and chief executive officer. “We believe that financial performance is directly linked to the value we deliver to customers and suppliers, making our achievement of the highest sales, gross profit and earnings per share for any quarter in Arrow’s history a true testament to the hard work and commitment of our team. We look forward to driving further success for our customers, as well as all our company’s stakeholders as we continue to advance our strategic priorities.”
Global components second-quarter sales of $6.61 billion reflected an increase of 40 percent year over year and non-GAAP sales increased 36 percent year over year. Asia-Pacific components second-quarter sales increased 49 percent year over year and non-GAAP sales in the region increased 47 percent year over year. Americas components second-quarter sales increased 32 percent year over year. Europe components second-quarter sales increased 33 percent year over year and non-GAAP sales in the region increased 22 percent year over year. Global components second-quarter operating income was $327 million, and second-quarter non-GAAP operating income was $339 million.
“Our commitment to helping customers bring innovative next-generation electronic products to market quickly is a key driver of our success,” continued Mr. Long. “Global components sales were above the high-end of our expectations for the fifth consecutive quarter resulting from our ability to secure additional inventory to meet strong demand.”
Global enterprise computing solutions second-quarter sales of $1.95 billion reflected an increase of 4 percent year over year and non-GAAP sales decreased 1 percent year over year. Europe enterprise computing solutions second-quarter sales increased 19 percent year over year and non-GAAP sales in the region increased 8 percent year over year. Americas enterprise computing solutions second-quarter sales decreased 5 percent year over year. Global enterprise computing solutions second-quarter operating income was $81 million, and second-quarter non-GAAP operating income was $83 million.
Mr. Long said, “We are seeing strong demand for complex software and cloud-based solutions, and our pipeline is healthy. Despite strong demand, second-quarter global enterprise computing solutions performance was in-line with our expectations as shifting spending priorities and some supply constraints stood in the way of capturing upside.”

“Enhancing shareholder value remains a top priority. With a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, our return on invested capital increased year over year for the fifth straight quarter,” said Chris Stansbury, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We are pleased our strong financial returns, positive cash flow from operations, and the effective management of our balance sheet enabled us to deliver on our commitment to returning cash to shareholders through an additional $600 million repurchase authorization on July 21. During the second quarter, we repurchased a single-quarter record of approximately $250 million of shares through our stock repurchase program. Our current repurchase authorization stands at approximately $663 million.”

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 third quarter of fiscal 2021, such as sales, net income per diluted share, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, average tax rate, average diluted shares outstanding, interest expense, average USD-to-Euro exchange rate, impact to sales due to changes in foreign currencies, intangible amortization expense per diluted share, restructuring and integration charges per diluted share, and expectation regarding market demand. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: potential adverse effects of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, including actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, industry conditions, changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand, competition, other vagaries in the global components and global enterprise computing solutions markets, changes in relationships with key suppliers, increased profit margin pressure, foreign currency fluctuation, 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 and 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 and the impact of notes receivable reserves and recoveries related to the AFS business (referred to as “AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries”). Non-GAAP operating income excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries, impairment of long-lived assets, and the impact of wind down. Non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, gain (loss) on investments, net, the impact of tax legislation changes, AFS notes receivable recoveries, the impact of impairments of long-lived assets, pension settlement loss, and the impact of wind down.

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 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.
A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the tables below.

1investor.arrow.com Second Quarter 2021 CFO Commentary As reflected in our earnings release, there are a number of items that impact the comparability of our results with those in the trailing quarter and prior quarter of last year. The discussion of our results may exclude these items to give you a better sense of our operating results. As always, the operating information we provide to you should be used as a complement to GAAP numbers. For a complete reconciliation between our GAAP and non-GAAP results, please refer to our earnings release and the earnings reconciliation found at the end of this document. The following reported and non-GAAP information included in this CFO commentary is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 3, 2021, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Second-quarter 2021 diluted earnings per share increased 92% year over year; non- GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 110% year over year


 
Second-Quarter 2021 CFO Commentary 2investor.arrow.com Second-Quarter Summary Second-quarter results benefited from continued strong and growing demand for electronic components, while enterprise computing solutions experienced shifting information technology (IT) spending as companies and workers returned to on-site work. Both businesses executed well on behalf of customers and suppliers in the face of supply chain challenges. Arrow Electronics leadership position across a diverse portfolio of products and solutions drove all-time record quarterly sales and profits. Arrow remains committed to driving success for our customers and all our stakeholders. During the second quarter, manufacturing customers across many key verticals, including transportation, industrial, communications, data networking, and consumer electronics, faced supply shortages. Arrow was able to secure additional inventory during the quarter which led to sales above the high end of prior guidance. Increased volume, uptake of services and solutions, and some higher component prices drove operating leverage above and beyond sales growth, leading to an increase in operating margins. For the enterprise computing solutions business, net sales were at the midpoint of the prior guidance range. IT hardware demand increased, and spending priorities shifted toward workload management and away from work- and learn-from-home. Customers initiated more complex, transformational projects, but supply chain challenges limited sales. Operating income increased on a year-over-year basis for the third consecutive quarter. Returns metrics further improved in the second quarter due to profit growth and the proactive management of working capital. Cash was returned to shareholders through the repurchase of 2.1 million shares for $250 million. Current repurchase authorization stands at $663 million following an additional $600 million authorization on July 21, 2021. Record sales, gross profit, operating income, net income and earnings per share on a diluted basis for any quarter.

The company provides non-GAAP sales, gross profit, operating income, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, net income per share on a diluted basis, return on working capital, and return on invested capital 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 and the impact of notes receivable reserves and recoveries related to the AFS business (referred to as “AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries”). Non-GAAP operating income excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries, impairment of long- lived assets, and the impact of wind down. Non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, gain (loss) on investments, net, the impact of tax legislation changes, AFS notes receivable recoveries, the impact of impairments of long-lived assets, pension settlement loss, and the impact of wind down. Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company’s operating performance. 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 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. A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the tables below.
