TECH DATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Tech Data Corporation (“Tech Data” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of information technology (“IT”) products, logistics management and other value-added services. The Company distributes microcomputer hardware and software products to value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers. The Company is managed in two geographic segments: the Americas (including North America and Latin America) and Europe.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tech Data and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as minority interest) is recognized for the portion of a consolidated joint venture not owned by the Company. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2009 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the time at which the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 was filed with the SEC on September 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as minority interest) in a subsidiary and the accounting for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest and requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requiring the ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations; and changes in the parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 160 effective February 1, 2009. Pursuant to the transition provisions of this standard, the presentation and disclosure requirements have been applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 changes the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments that require or permit partial cash settlement upon conversion. The accounting changes require issuers to separate convertible debt instruments into two components: a non-convertible bond and a conversion option. The separation of the conversion option creates an original issue discount in the bond component which is to be accreted as interest expense over the term of the instrument using the interest method, resulting in an increase to interest expense and a decrease in net income and earnings per share. The Company has concluded that FSP 14-1 is applicable to the Company’s $350.0 million convertible senior debentures issued in December 2006. The provisions of FSP 14-1 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2009 and require retrospective application to all periods presented. The impact of the adoption of FSP 14-1 will be an increase in non-cash interest expense of approximately $10.0 million, partially offset by the related tax benefit of approximately $4.0 million, resulting in a decrease in net income of approximately $6.0 million on an annual basis and through the remaining periods the debentures are outstanding through the Company’s assumed redemption date of December 20, 2011. The adoption of FSP 14-1 has had no impact on the Company’s consolidated cash flows. The accompanying comparative consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the retrospective application of FSP 14-1.

The $6.3 million increase in other long-term liabilities is comprised of a $10.6 million increase in deferred tax liabilities resulting from the adoption of FSP 14-1 offset by a $4.3 million decrease resulting from the reclassification of the Company’s noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as a “minority interest”) to a component of equity, as required by SFAS No. 160, discussed above.

Seasonality

The Company’s quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of currency fluctuations and seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services offered. Narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of these factors on our operating results. Recent historical seasonal variations have included an increase in European demand during our fiscal fourth quarter and decreased demand in other fiscal quarters, particularly quarters which include summer months. Given that over one half of the Company’s revenues are derived from Europe, the worldwide results closely follow the seasonality trends in Europe. Additionally, the life cycles of major products, as well as the impact of future acquisitions and dispositions, may also materially impact the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations. Therefore, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2010.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of “net income” and “other comprehensive income.” Other comprehensive income is comprised exclusively of changes in the Company’s currency translation adjustment account (“CTA account”), including income taxes attributable to those changes.

Comprehensive income attributable to the shareholders of the Company for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term investments which have an original maturity of ninety days or less are considered cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and establishes principles and requirements as to how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements: the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest; goodwill acquired in the business combination; or a gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquirer to record contingent consideration at the estimated fair value at the time of purchase and establishes principles for treating subsequent changes in such estimates which could affect earnings in those periods. SFAS No. 141R also requires additional disclosure designed to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination and disallows the capitalization of acquisition costs. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 141 (R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination that Arise from Contingencies”, which amends and clarifies the initial and subsequent accounting disclosures of contingencies in a business combination. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 141R effective February 1, 2009, and has applied the provisions of this standard and FSP 141 (R) -1 prospectively to business combinations made by the Company subsequent to January 31, 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The provisions of this statement require expanded disclosures concerning where derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and where gains / losses are recognized in the consolidated results of operations. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 161 beginning with the quarter ended April 30, 2009, as discussed in Note 9 – Derivative Instruments.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, which amends both SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim periods as well as in annual financial statements. The Company has adopted this FSP effective July 31, 2009, which had no impact on the consolidated financial results as the requirements are disclosure only in nature. See related disclosures in Note 8 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note 9 – Derivative Instruments.

Table of Contents

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for the Company’s quarter ended July 31, 2009 and had no impact on the consolidated financial results. See related disclosure included above.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No. 166”). SFAS 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset may be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset or has continuing involvement with the transferred asset. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, which had previously facilitated sale accounting for certain asset transfers, is removed by SFAS No. 166. SFAS No. 166 will be effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2010 (the first day of fiscal 2011) and early application is prohibited. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact SFAS No. 166 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS No. 167”). SFAS No. 167 amends the accounting for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and changes the process as to how an enterprise determines which party consolidates a VIE. SFAS No. 167 also defines the party that consolidates the VIE (the primary beneficiary) as the party with (1) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 167, the reporting enterprise must reconsider its conclusions on whether an entity should be consolidated, and should a change result, the effect on its net assets will be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. SFAS No. 167 will be effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2010 (the first day of fiscal 2011) and early application is prohibited. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact SFAS No. 167 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 — EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

The Company reports a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives (as further discussed in Note 5 – Stock-Based Compensation) using the if-converted and treasury stock methods, where applicable. The composition of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

At July 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 3,964,260 and 4,185,272 equity-based compensation awards, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

In December 2006, the Company issued $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures due 2026. The dilutive impact of the $350.0 million convertible senior debentures does not impact earnings per share at either July 31, 2009 or 2008 as the conditions for the contingent conversion feature have not been met (see further discussion in Note 3 — Revolving Credit Loans and Long-Term Debt).

The Company has an agreement (the “Receivables Securitization Program”) with a syndicate of banks that allows the Company to transfer an undivided interest in a designated pool of U.S. accounts receivable, on an ongoing basis, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $300.0 million. Under this program, which expires in October 2009, the Company legally isolates certain U.S. trade receivables into a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled $511.8 million and $439.9 million at July 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, respectively. As collections reduce accounts receivable balances included in the pool, the Company may transfer interests in new receivables to bring the amount available to be borrowed up to the maximum. The Company pays interest on advances under the Receivables Securitization Program at designated commercial paper rates plus an agreed-upon margin.

Under the terms of the Company’s Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, the Company is able to borrow funds in major foreign currencies up to a maximum of $250.0 million. Under this facility, which expires in March 2012, the Company has provided either a pledge of stock or a guarantee of certain of its significant subsidiaries. The Company pays interest on advances under this facility at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on the Company’s credit ratings. The Company can fix the interest rate for periods of seven to 180 days under various interest rate options.

In addition to the facilities described above, the Company has additional uncommitted lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $531.1 million at July 31, 2009 to support its worldwide operations. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal.

The total capacity of the aforementioned credit facilities was approximately $1.1 billion, of which $43.2 million was outstanding at July 31, 2009. The Company’s credit agreements contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit agreements require compliance with certain warranties and covenants. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit agreements include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (as defined per the credit

agreements) ratio and a tangible net worth requirement. At July 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meeting the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit the Company’s ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. As of July 31, 2009, the maximum amount that could be borrowed under these facilities, in consideration of the availability of collateral and the financial covenants, was approximately $876.5 million.

At July 31, 2009, the Company had issued standby letters of credit of $33.3 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces the Company’s available capacity under the above-mentioned facilities by the same amount.

In December 2006, the Company issued $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures due 2026. The debentures bear interest at 2.75% per year. The Company pays interest on the debentures on June 15 and December 15 of each year. In addition, beginning with the period commencing on December 20, 2011, and ending on June 15, 2012, and for each six-month period thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest on the interest payment date for the applicable interest period, if the market price of the debentures exceeds specified levels. The convertible senior debentures are convertible into the Company’s common stock and cash anytime after June 15, 2026, or i) if the market price of the common stock, as defined, exceeds 135% of the conversion price per share of common stock, or ii) if the Company calls the debentures for redemption, or iii) upon the occurrence of certain defined corporate transactions. Holders have the right to convert the debentures into cash and shares at a conversion rate equal to 18.4310 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $54.26 per share. Holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures in cash on any of the fifth, tenth or fifteenth anniversary dates from the issue date at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the repurchase date. The debentures are redeemable in whole or in part for cash at the Company’s option at any time on or after December 20, 2011. Additionally, the debentures are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The debentures are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured debt and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of its subsidiaries.

As previously discussed in Note 1—Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the provisions of FSP 14-1 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2009 and require retrospective application of all periods presented. The Company concluded that FSP 14-1 is applicable to the Company’s $350.0 million convertible senior debentures issued in December 2006 and has accounted for the debt and equity components of the debentures in a manner that reflects the estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the date of the issuance of the debentures of 6.30%. At July 31, 2009, the if-converted value of the convertible senior debentures did not exceed the principal balance.

At July 31, 2009, the $24.4 million unamortized debt discount has a remaining amortization period of approximately 29 months assuming redemption of the debentures at the first repurchase date of December 20, 2011.

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recorded contractual interest expense of $2.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and non-cash interest expense of $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, resulting from the retrospective adoption of FSP 14-1 related to the $350 million convertible senior debentures.

NOTE 4 — INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 25.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and 36.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.8% for the first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to 38.5% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective rate for both the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to the same periods of the prior year is primarily the result of the Company’s improved financial performance in Europe and the relative mix of earnings and losses within the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Table of Contents

On an absolute dollar basis, the provision for income taxes remained relatively consistent at $12.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $12.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2009 and decreased 15.5% to $21.9 million for the first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to $25.9 million in the first semester of fiscal 2009. The provision for income taxes in these periods was primarily impacted by the mix of earnings and losses in countries in which the Company operates.

The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during these periods due to the relative mix of earnings or losses within the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates such as: a) losses in tax jurisdictions where the Company is not able to record a tax benefit; b) earnings in tax jurisdictions where the Company has previously recorded a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and c) earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions for which no U.S. taxes have been provided because such earnings are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States.

The overall effective tax rate will continue to be dependent upon the geographic distribution of the Company’s earnings or losses, changes in tax laws, or interpretations of these laws in these operating jurisdictions. The Company monitors the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and makes adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating the Company’s annual income tax rates, future income tax expense could be materially affected.

The Company’s future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company’s income tax returns are subject to continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these examinations to determine the adequacy of the Company’s provision for income taxes. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which accruals have been established or is required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.

NOTE 5 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123R”). For the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded $5.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

At July 31, 2009, the Company had awards outstanding from five equity-based compensation plans, only one of which is currently active. The active plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders in June 2009 and includes approximately 3.8 million shares available for future grants. Under the plans, the Company is authorized to award officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors restricted stock, options to purchase common stock, maximum value stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“MV Stock-settled SARs”), maximum value stock options (“MVOs”) and performance awards that are dependent upon achievement of specified performance goals. Equity-based compensation awards have a maximum term of 10 years, unless a shorter period is specified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or is required under local law. Awards under the plans are priced as determined by the Compensation Committee and, under the terms of the Company’s active equity-based compensation plan, the Compensation Committee is required to price the awards at, or above, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Awards generally vest between one and four years from the date of grant.

During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 787,587 MV Stock-settled SARS and MVOs and 175,379 shares of restricted stock. In addition, during the six months ended July 31, 2009, 189,971 stock options were exercised, 235,577 shares of restricted stock vested and 248,958 equity-based awards were cancelled.

The Company has elected to use the Hull-White Lattice (binomial) and Black-Scholes option-pricing models to determine the fair value of MV Stock-settled SARs and MVO awards granted during the six months ended July 31, 2009. Both the Hull-White Lattice and Black-Scholes option–pricing models incorporate various assumptions including expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rates, while the Hull-White Lattice model also incorporates a suboptimal exercise factor (“SEF”) assumption. The Company calculates expected volatility using an equal blend of the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period equal to the contractual term of the award and the implied volatility using traded options with a variety of remaining maturities. The expected life for the Hull-White component of the valuation is equal to the contractual term of the award and the Black-Scholes component is based on historical experience. The risk-free rate corresponds to the ten-year Treasury rate on the date of the award as the contractual term of the award is generally 10 years. The SEF takes into consideration early exercise behavior or patterns based on stock-price appreciation. The SEF is computed by analyzing historical exercises and stock prices on the exercise date as a multiple of the original award price. Fair value calculations are subject to change based upon the assumptions applied within the applicable models.

The weighted-average estimated fair value of the MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs granted during the six months ended July 31, 2009 was $7.01 based on the two-step valuation utilizing both the Hull-White Lattice (binomial) and Black-Scholes option-pricing models using the following weighted-average assumptions:

The Company’s policy is to utilize shares of its treasury stock, to the extent available, for the exercise or vesting of equity awards.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees

As is customary in the IT industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase products from Tech Data, the Company has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities to the Company’s customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, the Company would be required to purchase certain inventory in the event the inventory is repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by the Company under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.

The Company also provides additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees are for an indefinite period of time, where we would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company related to purchases made from the Company. The Company reviews the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of July 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled approximately $48.1 million and $31.9 million, respectively, of which approximately $37.9 million and $23.1 million, respectively, was outstanding. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to the above guarantees is remote.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not expect that the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 7 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

Tech Data operates predominately in a single industry segment as a distributor of IT products, logistics management, and other value-added services. While the Company operates primarily in one industry, because of its global presence, the Company is managed by its geographic segments. The Company’s geographic segments include the Americas (including North America and Latin America) and Europe. The Company assesses performance of and makes decisions on how to allocate resources to its operating segments based on multiple factors including current and projected operating income and market opportunities. The Company does not consider stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123R in assessing the performance of its operating segments, and therefore the Company is reporting stock-based compensation expense as a separate amount. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1—Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Effective February 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 which applies to financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 and related pronouncements for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material effect on the Company’s existing fair-value measurement practices but requires disclosure of a fair-value hierarchy of inputs used to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy include: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in level 1 above that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and, Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are measured on a recurring basis based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers (level 2 criteria) and are marked-to-market each period with gains and losses on these contracts recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations within “net foreign currency exchange (gain) loss” in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting amount for unsettled positions being included in either “other current assets” or “other current liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts at July 31, 2009 and 2008 was an unrealized loss of $13.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

The Company utilizes life insurance policies to fund certain of the Company’s nonqualified employee benefit plans. The investments contained within the life insurance policies are marked-to-market each period by analyzing the change in the underlying value of the invested assets (level 2 criteria) and the gains and losses are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The related deferred compensation liability is also marked-to-market each period based upon the various investment return alternatives selected by the participants of the nonqualified employee benefit plans (level 2 criteria) and the gains and losses are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures less unamortized debt discount are carried at cost. The estimated fair value of these convertible senior debentures was approximately $331.6 million at July 31, 2009, based upon quoted market information (level 1 criteria).

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amount of debt outstanding pursuant to revolving debt and similar bank credit agreements approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximate current market rates (level 2 criteria).

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s foreign currency risk management objective is to protect earnings and cash flows from the impact of exchange rate changes through the use of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge both intercompany and third party loans, accounts receivable and accounts payable. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments.

 

14


Table of Contents

The Company employs established policies and procedures to manage the exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. It is the Company’s policy to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed. Additionally, the Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The Company considers inventory as an economic hedge against foreign currency exposure in accounts payable in certain circumstances. This practice offsets such inventory against corresponding accounts payable denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary buying the inventory, when determining the net exposure to be hedged using traditional forward contracts. Under this strategy, the Company would expect to increase or decrease selling prices for product purchased in foreign currencies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affecting the underlying accounts payable. To the extent the Company incurs a foreign currency exchange loss (gain) on the underlying accounts payable denominated in the foreign currency, a corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit would be expected as the related inventory is sold. This strategy can result in a certain degree of quarterly earnings volatility as the underlying accounts payable is remeasured using the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the end of each period, or settlement date if earlier, whereas the corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit is not realized until the related inventory is sold.

The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates to international transactions in Europe, Canada and Latin America, where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The Company’s transactions in its foreign operations are denominated primarily in the following currencies: U.S. dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, Danish krone, euros, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, Swedish krona and Swiss franc.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are also discussed in Note 8 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Overview

Tech Data is a leading distributor of information technology (“IT”) products, logistics management and other value-added services. We distribute microcomputer hardware and software products to value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers. Our offering of value-added customer services includes training and technical support, external financing options, configuration services, outbound telemarketing, marketing services and a suite of electronic commerce solutions. We manage our business in two geographic segments: the Americas (including North America and Latin America) and Europe.

A key tenet of our strategy is our ability to leverage our efficient cost structure combined with our multiple service offerings to generate demand and cost efficiencies for our vendors and customers. The IT distribution industry in which we operate is characterized by narrow gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) and narrow income from operations as a percentage of sales (“operating margin”). Historically, our gross and operating margins have been impacted by intense price competition, as well as changes in terms and conditions with our vendors, including those terms related to rebates, price protection, product returns and other incentives. We expect these conditions to continue in the foreseeable future and, therefore, we will continue to proactively evaluate our pricing policies and inventory management practices in response to potential changes in our vendor terms and conditions and the general market environment.

Table of Contents

In addition to focusing on superior execution, we continue to drive diversification and the realignment of our customer and vendor portfolio to help drive long-term profitability throughout all of our operations. For example, our joint venture with Brightstar Corporation, one of the world’s largest wireless distributors and supply chain solutions providers, distributes mobile phones and other wireless devices to a variety of customers including mobile operators, dealers, agents, retailers and e-tailers in certain European markets. The joint venture also allows us to sell our core IT products to a new customer base serving the mobility market. In addition, we continue to strengthen our position with the small- and medium-business customer segment in several countries in which we operate, both organically and through acquisition. We are also expanding our product portfolio to include leading consumer electronics offerings and are exploring innovative third party logistics fulfillment services with some vendor partners. As we implement our diversification strategy, we continuously monitor the extension of credit and other terms and conditions offered to our customers to prudently balance risk, profitability and return on invested capital.

From a balance sheet perspective, we require working capital primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventory. We have historically relied upon debt, trade credit from our vendors, and accounts receivable financing programs for our working capital needs. At July 31, 2009, we had a debt to capital ratio (calculated as total debt divided by the aggregate of total debt and total equity) of 16%.

The current economic environment has remained challenging and the related decline in the demand for IT products has required payroll and other cost reductions to mitigate the impact of the decline in sales and gross profit. In addition, the impact of the downturn has resulted in some vendor incentive goals being more difficult to achieve. This creates even greater pressure on our gross profit, as we may not be able to completely offset the reduced vendor incentives by increasing our prices to our customers or reducing our costs. The downturn has also led to a global tightening of credit and has impacted those institutions insuring us against credit risks in several markets, primarily in Europe. Modifications to our insurance agreements could impact the credit lines we offer to our customers. This reduction in credit availability could have a positive effect on our results to the extent that our vendors rely more on distributors with the financial strength of Tech Data to distribute their products. All of these constraints impact the financing available to our customers through financial institutions and as a result, we may experience a higher level of customer defaults than we have seen in recent years. While we have seen some recent stabilization in the Americas, these trends are expected to continue in the foreseeable future. As we manage through these challenges and evaluate our pricing, credit management and purchasing policies and make adjustments, if any, within our customer or vendor portfolio or our cost structure, we may continue to experience sales declines in many of the markets in which we operate, thereby impacting our consolidated financial results.

While we continued to face the challenges of the uncertain macroeconomic environment and continued softness in demand for technology products and services globally throughout the first semester of fiscal 2010, overall we were pleased with the Company’s financial performance during the period. Both our first and second quarter fiscal 2010 net sales were negatively impacted by the decline in IT spending, but our strength in execution and prudent cost management drove continued improvement in our operating performance. For the first semester of fiscal 2010, we achieved a year-over-year increase in gross margin, primarily as a result of solid execution of our inventory, pricing and freight management policies. In Europe, we continued to improve our business execution, resulting in significant improvements in our year-over-year operating performance in the majority of the countries in which we operate. Our focus on execution in the region has also allowed us to outperform the market in recent quarters. In the Americas, although we continued to feel pressure from economic softness in the region, during our second quarter we saw marked improvement in the region’s operating performance compared to our first quarter this year with sequential net sales growth and an increase in the operating margin of the region. While the Americas results may not be at the level of recent years, considering the economic environment, we believe the region continues to provide solid profitability and returns on invested capital. We continue to focus on our sales execution, pricing and vendor rebate management practices to improve profitability throughout our operations.

During the first semester of fiscal 2010, we made several business acquisitions in the European distribution marketplace. While the acquisitions are not anticipated to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations during fiscal 2010, we believe the acquisitions will further diversify our product and customer portfolio and are important additions in their respective markets, while leveraging our existing infrastructure in Europe.

We believe our strategy focused on execution, diversification and innovation will provide further improvements to our financial results. However, the uncertainty surrounding the current macroeconomic environment and related decrease in demand in IT spending may hinder our ability to maintain or improve our operating margins, both in Europe and the Americas. We are constantly monitoring the factors that we can control, including our management of costs, working capital and capital spending and we will continue to work to manage our net sales, profitability and market share. We will also continue to make targeted strategic investments across our operations in IT enhancements and new business opportunities.

Effective February 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 changes the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments that require or permit partial cash settlement upon conversion. The accounting changes require issuers to separate convertible debt instruments into two

Table of Contents

components: a non-convertible bond and a conversion option. The separation of the conversion option creates an original issue discount in the bond component which is to be accreted as interest expense over the term of the instrument using the interest method, resulting in an increase to interest expense and a decrease in net income and earnings per share. The provisions of FSP 14-1 require retrospective application to all periods presented and we have applied the provisions of FSP 14-1 to the Company’s $350.0 million convertible senior debentures issued in December 2006. The impact of the adoption of FSP 14-1 will be an increase in non-cash interest expense of approximately $10.0 million, partially offset by the related tax benefit of approximately $4.0 million, resulting in a decrease in net income of approximately $6.0 million on an annual basis during fiscal 2010 and through the remaining periods the debentures are outstanding through the Company’s assumed redemption date of December 20, 2011. The adoption of FSP 14-1 has had no impact on the Company’s consolidated cash flows. The accompanying comparative consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the retrospective application of FSP 14-1. See further discussion related to our adoption of FSP 14-1 included in Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The information included within MD&A is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory, vendor incentives, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred taxes and contingencies. Our estimates and judgments are based on currently available information, historical results, and other assumptions we believe are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In estimating the required allowance, we take into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of credit insurance and specifically identified customer risks. Also influencing our estimates are the following: (1) the large number of customers and their dispersion across wide geographic areas; (2) the fact that no single customer accounts for more than 10% of our net sales; (3) the value and adequacy of collateral received from customers, if any;(4) our historical loss experience and (5) the current economic environment. If actual customer performance were to deteriorate to an extent not expected by us, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results. Conversely, if actual customer performance were to improve to an extent not expected by us, a reduction in allowances may be required which could have a favorable effect on our consolidated financial results.

Inventory

We value our inventory at the lower of its cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks (such as technological obsolescence and the nature of vendor terms surrounding price protection and product returns), foreign currency fluctuations for foreign-sourced product, and assumptions about future demand. Market conditions or changes in terms and conditions by our vendors that are less favorable than those projected by management may require additional inventory write-downs, which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.

Vendor Incentives

We receive incentives from vendors related to cooperative advertising allowances, infrastructure funding, volume rebates and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors; however, some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad-hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed with the vendor. Unrestricted volume rebates and early payment discounts received from vendors are recorded when they are earned as a reduction of inventory and as a reduction of cost of products sold as the related inventory is sold. Vendor incentives earned for specifically identified cooperative advertising programs and infrastructure funding are recorded as adjustments to product costs or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the programs.

We also provide reserves for receivables on vendor programs for estimated losses resulting from vendors’ inability to pay or rejections by vendors of claims. Should amounts recorded as outstanding receivables from vendors be deemed uncollectible, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment and may also be reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. We also

 

18


Table of Contents

examine the carrying value of our intangible assets with finite lives, which includes capitalized software and development costs, purchased intangibles, and other long-lived assets as current events and circumstances warrant determining whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. Factors that may cause a goodwill, intangible asset or other long-lived asset impairment include negative industry or economic trends and significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results. Our valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the net present value of the projected cash flows of our reporting units and a market approach, which evaluates comparative market multiples applied to our reporting units’ businesses to yield a second assumed value of each reporting unit. If actual results are substantially lower than our projections underlying these assumptions, or if market discount rates substantially increase, our future valuations could be adversely affected, potentially resulting in future impairment charges.

Income Taxes

We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In assessing the adequacy of a recorded valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence and a variety of factors including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, historical and projected future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If we determine we would be able to use a deferred tax asset in the future in excess of its net carrying value, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be made to reduce income tax expense, thereby increasing net income in the period such determination was made. Should we determine that we are unable to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be made to income tax expense, thereby reducing net income in the period such determination was made.

Contingencies

We accrue for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters such as imports and exports, the imposition of international governmental controls, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of international laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), and the impact of local economic conditions and practices, which are all subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

Results of Operations

We do not consider stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” in assessing the performance of our operating segments, therefore the Company is reporting this as a separate amount.

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales were $5.2 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 15.9% when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009. On a regional basis, during the second quarter of fiscal 2010, net sales in the Americas decreased by 14.5% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and decreased by 17.1% in Europe (a decrease of 7.0% on a euro basis). On a year-to-date basis, net sales were $10.2 billion during the first semester of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 16.8% when compared to the first semester of fiscal 2009. The sales performance in the Americas during both the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2010 was affected by the challenging economic environment and related slowdown in IT spending. Our sales performance on a euro basis in Europe during both the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2010 was also impacted by the challenging economic environment, partially offset by market share gains in select markets.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross margin”) increased to 5.19% during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from 4.85% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. On a year-to-date basis, gross margin was 5.23%, an increase of .38% of net sales, or 38 basis points, compared to 4.85% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to solid execution of our inventory, pricing and freight management practices. The difficult macroeconomic environment and uncertainty surrounding demand for IT products and future vendor incentive goals may hinder our ability to maintain gross margin at its current level.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A as a percentage of net sales remained relatively consistent at 4.15% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to 4.17% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. On a year-to-date basis, SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased to 4.21% compared to 4.16% in the comparable semester of the prior fiscal year. The slight increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales in the first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of the prior year is primarily attributable to the impact of our first quarter net sales declining at a more rapid rate than our expense reductions relative to the prior year.

In absolute dollars, worldwide SG&A decreased by $41.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and decreased by $80.7 million in the first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in SG&A is primarily attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies, cost management actions, including adjustments to headcount and the associated reductions in payroll-related expenses and lower credit costs. In addition, SG&A expense during the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2009 also included $3.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of consulting and integration costs related to our acquisition of certain assets of Nordic-based Scribona, AB, which did not recur in the first semester of fiscal 2010.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense decreased 26.1% to $7.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $9.7 million in the second quarter of the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, interest expense decreased 22.1% to $15.0 million in the first semester of fiscal 2010 from $19.3 million in the first semester of the prior year. The decrease in interest expense for the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2010 is primarily attributable to lower interest rates on revolving credit loans and lower average outstanding debt balances as compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, includes contractual interest expense of $2.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and non-cash interest expense of $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, resulting from the retrospective adoption of FSP 14-1 related to the $350 million convertible senior debentures (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

Interest income decreased 84.3% to $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from $2.6 million in the second quarter of the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, interest income decreased 64.5% to $1.9 million in the first semester of fiscal 2010 from $5.2 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in interest income during the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2010 can be attributed to lower interest rates on short-term cash investments, partially offset by an increase in the average short-term cash investment balances, as compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Net Foreign Currency Exchange (Gain) Loss

We realized a net foreign currency exchange gain of $0.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to a net foreign currency exchange loss of $1.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. On a year-to-date basis, we realized a net foreign currency exchange loss of $1.9 million in the first semester of fiscal 2010, compared to a net foreign currency exchange loss of $2.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The net foreign currency gains and losses incurred during the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2010, respectively, are primarily comprised of the costs of utilizing forward contracts to hedge our foreign currency exposures and the net foreign currency gains or losses on accounts payable denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective market where we consider inventory as an economic hedge (further discussed below).

 

21


Table of Contents

As a result of subsidiaries outside of the U.S. purchasing certain inventory in currencies other than the currency in which the inventory is sold, we recognize net foreign currency exchange gains and losses primarily due to the fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the euro and the euro and the U.S. dollar versus other currencies. It is our policy to minimize foreign currency exchange gains and losses through an effective hedging program. Under this program, we will typically enter into forward contracts to hedge a portion of our net monetary exposure. In certain cases where we expect our product selling prices to fluctuate with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we consider the value of such inventory on hand as a hedge against the related foreign currency denominated accounts payable. Under this strategy, to the extent we incur a foreign currency exchange loss (gain) on the underlying accounts payable denominated in the foreign currency as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we would typically expect to see a corresponding increase (decrease) in selling prices upon the sale of the respective inventory.

To the extent that foreign currencies remain volatile and the market conditions remain competitive, we may incur significant foreign currency exchange losses in the future and there can be no assurance as to the amount of additional gross margin we will be able to realize to offset such losses. We will continue to use inventory as an economic hedge to offset related foreign currency exposure in accounts payable where we believe there is product selling price elasticity related to changes in underlying foreign currency exchange rates. Our hedging policy prohibits speculative foreign currency exchange transactions.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as minority interest) for the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2010 was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, compared to a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest of $0.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2009. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents Brightstar Corporation’s share of the joint venture losses as the joint venture is a consolidated subsidiary in our financial statements and the year-over-year changes can be attributed to the improving results of the joint venture. The joint venture commenced sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, and to date the joint venture’s results of operations have not been material to our operating results as a whole.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 25.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and 36.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Our effective tax rate was 24.8% for the first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to 38.5% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective rate for both the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to the same periods of the prior year is primarily the result of our improved financial performance in Europe and the relative mix of earnings and losses within the tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

On an absolute dollar basis, the provision for income taxes remained relatively consistent at $12.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $12.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2009 and decreased 15.5% to $21.9 million for the first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to $25.9 million in the first semester of fiscal 2009. The provision for income taxes in these periods was primarily impacted by the mix of earnings and losses in countries in which we operate.

The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during these periods due to the relative mix of earnings or losses within the tax jurisdictions in which we operate such as: a) losses in tax jurisdictions where we are not able to record a tax benefit; b) earnings in tax jurisdictions where we have previously recorded a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and c) earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions for which no U.S. taxes have been provided because such earnings are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States.

The overall effective tax rate will continue to be dependent upon the geographic distribution of our earnings or losses, changes in tax laws, or interpretations of these laws in these operating jurisdictions. We monitor the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and make adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating our annual income tax rates, future income tax expense could be materially affected.

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by lower earnings than anticipated in countries with lower statutory rates, changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, our income tax returns are subject to continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, our effective tax rate could be materially affected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008:

   $ 538,335      $ 20,981   
                

Net cash provided by operating activities was $525.6 million for the six months of fiscal 2010 compared to $140.0 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the first semester of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of the prior year is primarily due to the timing of our cash flows resulting from lower working capital requirements associated with a decline in net sales and the timing of both receipts from our customers and payments to our vendors. We manage working capital by monitoring several key metrics, including our cash conversion cycle (also referred to as “net cash days”) and owned inventory levels. Our net cash days are defined as days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable (“DSO”) plus days of supply on hand in inventory (“DOS”), less days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable (“DPO”). Owned inventory is calculated as the difference between our inventory and accounts payable balances divided into the inventory balance. Our net cash days improved to 25 days at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 30 days at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Our owned inventory level (the percentage of inventory not financed by vendors) was a negative 58% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2010, meaning our accounts payable balances exceeded our inventory balances by 58%. This compares to negative owned inventory of 40% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. We believe the improvement in our working capital metrics can be largely attributed to our enhanced focus on reducing our working capital requirements, particularly in Europe. While we continue to focus on working capital management, the performance level achieved this quarter is outside of our historical range and may not be sustained on a consistent basis in the future.

The following table presents the components of our cash conversion cycle, in days, for the quarters ended July 31, 2009 and 2008:

Net cash used in investing activities of $13.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 is the net result of $3.3 million of proceeds received from the sale of one of the facilities at our Clearwater, Florida campus, $8.1 million of cash used for acquisitions in Europe and $8.8 million of expenditures for the continuing expansion and upgrading of our IT systems, office facilities and equipment for our logistics centers. We expect to make total capital expenditures of approximately $33.0 million during fiscal 2010 for equipment and machinery in our logistics centers, office facilities and IT systems.

Net cash used in financing activities of $22.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 reflects $23.5 million of net repayments on our revolving credit lines and long-term debt offset by $1.2 million in proceeds received for the reissuance of treasury stock related to exercises of equity-based incentives and purchases made through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

As of July 31, 2009, we maintained a Receivables Securitization Program with a syndicate of banks which allows us to transfer an undivided interest in a designated pool of U.S. accounts receivable, on an ongoing basis, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $300.0 million. We pay interest on the Receivables Securitization Program at designated commercial paper rates plus an agreed-upon margin (rate of 1.56% at July 31, 2009). Additionally, we maintained a $250.0 million Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, which expires in March 2012. We pay interest under this facility at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on our credit ratings (rate of .91% at July 31, 2009). In addition to the facilities described above, we have additional uncommitted lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $531.1 million at July 31, 2009 to support our worldwide operations (average interest rate on the borrowings was 3.98% at July 31, 2009).

Table of Contents

The total capacity of the aforementioned credit facilities was approximately $1.1 billion, of which $43.2 million was outstanding at July 31, 2009. Our credit agreements contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit agreements require compliance with certain warranties and covenants. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit agreements include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (as defined per the credit agreements) ratio and a tangible net worth requirement. At July 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meeting the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit the Company’s ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. As of July 31, 2009, the maximum amount that could be borrowed under these facilities, in consideration of the availability of collateral and the financial covenants, was approximately $876.5 million.

At July 31, 2009, the Company had issued standby letters of credit of $33.3 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces the Company’s available capacity under the above-mentioned facilities by the same amount.

In December 2006, we issued $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures due 2026. The debentures bear interest at 2.75% per year. We pay interest on the debentures on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The debentures are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The debentures are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The proceeds from the offering were used to pay off short-term debt and for other general corporate purposes.

See further discussion of our credit facilities, convertible senior debentures and standby letters of credit in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our debt to capital ratio was 16% at July 31, 2009. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds available under our credit arrangements, will provide sufficient resources to meet our present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Changes in our credit rating or other market factors may increase our interest expense or other costs of capital or capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms to fund our working capital needs. The Company will continue to need additional financing, including debt financing. The inability to obtain such sources of capital could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. The Company’s credit facilities contain various financial and other covenants that may limit the Company’s ability to borrow or limit the Company’s flexibility in responding to business conditions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Synthetic Lease Facility

We have a synthetic lease facility (the “Synthetic Lease”) with a group of financial institutions under which we lease certain logistics centers and office facilities from a third-party lessor. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we renewed our existing Synthetic Lease with a new lease agreement that expires in June 2013. Properties leased under the Synthetic Lease are located in Clearwater and Miami, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Fontana, California; Suwanee, Georgia; Swedesboro, New Jersey; and South Bend, Indiana. The Synthetic Lease has been accounted for as an operating lease and rental payments are calculated at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on our credit ratings.

During the first four years of the lease term, we may, at our option, purchase any combination of the seven properties, at an amount equal to each of the property’s cost, as long as the lease balance does not decrease below a defined amount. During the last year of the lease term, until 180 days prior to the lease expiration, we may, at our option, i) purchase a minimum of two of the seven properties, at an amount equal to each of the property’s cost, ii) exercise the option to renew the lease for a minimum of two of the seven properties or iii) exercise the option to remarket a minimum of two of the seven properties and cause a sale of the properties. If we elect to remarket the properties, we have guaranteed the lessor a percentage of the cost of each property, in the aggregate amount of approximately $107.4 million (the “residual value”). We have also provided a residual value guarantee related to the Synthetic Lease, which has been recorded at the estimated fair value of the residual guarantee.

The sum of future minimum lease payments under the Synthetic Lease is approximately $8.0 million at July 31, 2009. The Synthetic Lease contains covenants that must be complied with, similar to the covenants described in certain of the credit facilities. As of July 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Guarantees

As is customary in the IT industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase product from us, we have arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory-financing facilities for our customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, we have agreements with the finance companies that would require us to repurchase certain inventory, which might be repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. Due to various reasons, including among other items, the lack of information regarding the amount of saleable inventory purchased from us still on hand with the customer at any point in time, our repurchase obligations

 

24


Table of Contents

relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by us under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory purchase obligations is remote.

We also provide additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees are for an indefinite period of time, where we would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company related to purchases made from the Company. The Company reviews the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of July 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled approximately $48.1 million and $31.9 million, respectively, of which approximately $37.9 million and $23.1 million, respectively, was outstanding. We believe that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to the above guarantees is remote.

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a description of the Company’s market risks, see “Item 7a. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. No material changes have occurred in our market risks since January 31, 2009.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2009. There were no material changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

Prior to fiscal 2004, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries was audited in relation to various value-added tax (“VAT”) matters. As a result of those audits, the subsidiary has received notices of assessment that allege the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. It is management’s opinion, based upon the opinion of outside legal counsel, that the Company has valid defenses related to a substantial portion of these assessments. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessments, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. The resolution of such assessments could be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular period, depending upon the level of income for such period.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not expect the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations. Risk factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements include but are not limited to those discussed or identified in this document (including the risks described below), in our public filings with the SEC, and those incorporated by reference in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009.

The Class I directors elected at the 1986 annual meeting of shareholders shall be deemed elected for a three-year term, Class II directors for a two-year term, and Class III directors for a one-year term. At each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders, successors to the Class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting of shareholders shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors has changed, any increase or decrease shall be appointed among the Classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each Class as

nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any Class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such a Class shall hold office until the next meeting of shareholders for the election of directors at which time they shall stand for election for the remaining term of such Class, unless otherwise required by law, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors in a Class shorten the term of an incumbent director.

 

  (iii) A director shall hold office until the date of the annual meeting of shareholders upon which his/her term expires and until his/her successor shall be elected and qualified, subject, however, to his/her prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. A director may be removed from office only for cause and at a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares cast that are entitled to vote at an election of directors.

(a) MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE PLAN. The Aggregate Share Limit, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) of the Plan, shall be four million shares (4,000,000). The number of shares of Common Stock to which an Award relates shall be counted against the Aggregated Share Limit at the time of the grant of the Award. If any Award under the Plan is cancelled by mutual consent or terminates, expires or is forfeited for any reason without having been exercised or settled in full, or if shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award are forfeited pursuant to the restrictions applicable to the Award, or if an Award is settled in the form of cash, cash equivalents or other property other than shares of Common Stock, the number of shares subject thereto shall again be available for purposes of the Plan.

The shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or issued shares which have been reacquired by the Company. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan.

(b) ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any change in the capital structure, capitalization or Common Stock of the Company such as a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or other form of reorganization, or any other change affecting the Common Stock, such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Board in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such change shall be made with respect to: (i) the Aggregate Share Limit and any other share limitations provided under the Plan; (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any outstanding or other Award made to any individual Participant under the Plan; (iii) the per share exercise price in respect of any outstanding Stock Options; (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock and the number of Restricted Stock Units or the value of such Restricted Stock Units, as the case may be, which are the subject of other Awards then outstanding under the Plan; and (v) any other term or condition of any grant affected by any such change; provided however

 

5


that such adjustments be made in accordance with the rules and regulations of Section 409A of the Code and provided further that no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code and with respect to any Award no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would be inconsistent with the Plan’s meeting the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to this section that are considered “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any adjustments that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in such manner as to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either (A) continue not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Each account shall be unsecured and unfunded, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(e) CERTIFICATIONS. In respect of each grant under the Plan to a Covered Employee which the Committee intends to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan and the related Award Agreement shall be construed to confirm such intent, and to conform to the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Committee shall certify in writing (which writing may include approved minutes of a meeting of the Committee) that the applicable Performance Goal(s), determined using the Performance Measure specified in the related Award Agreement, was attained during the relevant Performance Period at a level that equaled or exceeded the level required for the payment of such Award in the amount proposed to be paid and that such Award does not exceed any applicable Plan limitation.

The Board shall be responsible for administering and construing such Awards in substantially the same manner that the Committee administers and construes Awards to Employees.

 

7. STOCK OPTIONS

(a) IN GENERAL. The Committee may grant Stock Options under the Plan, which may be Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. All Stock Options shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, as the Committee or designated Executive Officers shall determine in accordance with personnel policies developed by the Company. Stock Options may be granted in addition to, or in tandem with or independent of other Awards under the Plan.

(b) ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS. An Employee may be granted an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option under the Plan.

(c) EXERCISE PRICE. The per share exercise price of each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall the per share exercise price of any Stock Option be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of such Stock Option.

(d) TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, the term of an Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant.

No Stock Option may be exercised unless the holder thereof is at the time of such exercise an Employee or Outside Director and has been continuously an Employee or Outside Director since the date such Stock Option was granted, except that the Committee or designated Executive Officers may permit the exercise of any Stock Option for any period following the Participant’s termination of employment or directorship not in excess of the original term of the Stock Option on such terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate and specified in the related Award Agreement.

(f) METHOD OF EXERCISE. A Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving notice of exercise to the Company, in such form(s) as may be established by the Committee, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price, plus any required withholding taxes, by any combination of the following methods of exercise as may be permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion and specified in the Participant’s Award Agreement:

(i) cash;

(ii) by surrender to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise that is equal to or less than the aggregate exercise price and payment of cash to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price;

(iii) by a net exercise arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise that is equal to or less than the aggregate exercise price and will receive cash from the Participant to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price; or

(iv) by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker designated by the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Common Stock being purchased, along with any applicable tax withholdings, subject to applicable law (“broker-assisted exercise”).

For the sake of clarity, the Committee shall have the discretionary authority to grant Stock Options that do not entitle a Participant to use all of the foregoing methods of exercise, and the Committee shall have the discretionary authority to limit a Participant to a particular method of exercise.

(g) LIMITATION ON MAXIMUM VALUE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may establish, at the date of grant, terms and conditions regarding any Stock Option that limit the maximum value that a Participant may realize upon the exercise of such Stock Option as determined by reference to shares of Common Stock, based on the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

9


(d) TERM. The term of each SAR shall be fixed by the Committee.

(e) EXERCISABILITY. An SAR shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at the date of grant; provided, however, that no SAR shall be exercisable during the first year after the date of grant. No SAR may be exercised unless the holder thereof is at the time of such exercise an Employee or Outside Director and has been continuously an Employee or Outside Director since the date such SAR was granted, except that the Committee or designated Executive Officers may permit the exercise of any SAR for any period following the Participant’s termination of employment or directorship not in excess of the original term of the SAR on such terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate and specified in the related Award Agreement.

(f) FORM OF SETTLEMENT. An SAR may be settled in the form of shares of Common Stock or in cash, as may be established by the Committee in its discretion and specified in the related Award Agreement.

(c) RESTRICTIONS FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. Shares of Restricted Stock issued to a Participant may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for the Restricted Period beginning on the date on which the Award is granted. The Committee may also impose such other restrictions, limitations and conditions on the shares or the release of the restrictions thereon as it deems appropriate.

such other restrictions, limitations and conditions on the Restricted Stock Units or the release of the restrictions thereon as it deems appropriate. In determining the Restricted Period of an Award, the Committee may provide that the foregoing restrictions shall lapse with respect to specified percentages of the Restricted Stock Units on specified dates following the grant date of such Award or all at once.

(e) SETTLEMENT. Upon lapse of the Restricted Period and if all conditions have been satisfied and any applicable Performance Goals attained, the shares of Restricted Stock shall become freely-transferable and non-forfeitable, and the shares of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Unit will be made available to the Participant, subject to satisfaction of applicable withholding tax requirements; provided, that the Committee may, in its discretion, require (i) the further deferral of any Restricted Stock or shares of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Unit beyond the initially specified Restricted Period subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12, (ii) that the Restricted Stock be retained by the Company, and (iii) that the Participant receive a cash payment in lieu of unrestricted shares of Common Stock.

(f) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, a Participant shall have, with respect to shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and receive any cash dividends paid thereon. Stock dividends distributed with respect to shares of Restricted Stock shall be treated as additional shares under the Restricted Stock grant and shall be subject to the restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth therein. A Participant holding a Restricted Stock Unit shall not have any rights of a shareholder of the Company until such time as the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Unit grant are delivered to Participant. The Committee has discretion to determine whether, to what extent and on what terms and conditions the applicable Participant shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalents (in the form of cash, Common Stock or other property) corresponding to the dividends payable on the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Unit.

 

10. PERFORMANCE AWARDS

(a) ELIGIBILITY AND TERMS. The Committee may grant, to Employees, Awards under the Plan, including Stock Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards, which may be earned in whole or in part upon the attainment of Performance Goals established by the Committee (“Performance Awards”). Outside Directors may not receive Performance Awards under the Plan. Performance Awards may be settled in shares of Common Stock or in cash, as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion, and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, as the Committee or designated Executive Officers shall determine in accordance with personnel policies developed by the Company. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the Employees eligible to receive Performance Awards. At the time each Performance Award is granted, the Committee shall establish the Performance Period, the Performance Measure and the Performance Goals in respect of such Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be made alone, in addition to, in tandem with, or independent of other Awards under the Plan.

(b) LIMITATIONS. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be the subject of Performance Awards made to any individual Employee in respect of any Performance Period or during any fiscal year shall be seventy-five thousand shares (75,000). The maximum value any individual Employee may receive during any fiscal year as Performance Awards shall not exceed two and one-half million dollars ($2,500,000), determined using the Fair Market Value of such Performance Awards as of the last day of the applicable Performance Period(s) or as of the date(s) of the payment thereof, whichever is higher.

(c) PERFORMANCE GOALS, PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND PERFORMANCE PERIODS. Each Performance Award shall provide that, in order for a Participant to receive all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Performance Award, the Company must achieve certain Performance Goals over a designated Performance Period having a minimum duration of one year, with attainment of the Performance Goals determined using specific Performance Measures. The Performance Goals and Performance Period shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall establish Performance Measures for each Performance Period for determining the portion of the Performance Award which will be earned or forfeited based on the extent to which the Performance Goals

 

11


are achieved or exceeded. In establishing Performance Goals, the Committee may use Performance Measures based on any one, or on any combination, of the following Company performance factors as the Committee deems appropriate:

(i) cumulative net income per diluted share;

(ii) cumulative net income;

(iii) return on sales;

(iv) total shareholder return;

(v) return on assets;

(vi) economic value added;

(vii) cash flow;

(viii) return on equity;

(ix) return on capital employed;

(x) cumulative operating income (which shall equal consolidated sales minus cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expense); and

(xi) achievement of explicit strategic objectives or milestones.

Performance Goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the size of Performance Award based on the level attained. Once established by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement, and if and to the extent provided in or required by the Award Agreement, the Performance Goals and the Performance Measure in respect of any Performance Award shall not be changed. The Committee may, in its discretion, eliminate or reduce (but not increase) the amount of any Performance Award that otherwise would be payable to a Participant upon attainment of the Performance Goal(s).

(d) CODE SECTION 162(m) PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the Committee grants a Performance Award to a Participant who is then an Executive Officer of the Company and that such Participant is, or is likely to be as of the end of the tax year in which the Company would ordinarily claim a tax deduction in connection with such Performance Award, a Covered Employee, the Committee may provide that this provision shall be applicable to such Performance Award. If a Performance Award is subject to this provision, the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of cash, shares of Common Stock or other property pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be subject to the achievement of one or more Performance Goals established by the Committee, which shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the Performance Measures set forth above, of the Company or the Subsidiary or region of the Company and may be stated relative to the performance of other corporations. Such Performance Goals shall be set by the Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan with respect to any Performance Award that is subject the provisions hereunder, the Committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the amount payable pursuant to such Performance Award, and the Committee may not waive the achievement of the applicable Performance Goals except in the case of the death or Disability of the Participant, or under such other conditions where such waiver will not jeopardize the treatment of other Performance Awards as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Awards as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Performance Awards satisfy all requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

 

11. OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

The Committee may grant, to Employees, Other Stock-Based Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based upon shares of Common Stock, either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under this Plan. Other Stock-Based Awards may be settled in shares of Common Stock, cash or any other form of property, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Subject

 

12


to this Plan, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Employees and Outside Directors to whom and the time or times at which Other Stock-Based Awards shall be made, the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to such Other Stock-Based Awards and all other terms and conditions of Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem advisable or appropriate, consistent with this Plan as herein set forth. Unless the Committee determines otherwise to address specific considerations, Other Stock-Based Awards granted to Employees or Outside Directors shall have a vesting period of not less than one year.

 

12. DEFERRALS

The Committee may, whether at the time of grant or at anytime thereafter prior to payment or settlement of an Award, require a Participant to defer, or permit (subject to such conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish) a Participant to elect to defer, receipt of all or any portion of any payment of cash or shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to such Participant in payment or settlement of any Award under the Plan. If any such deferral is required by the Committee (or is elected by the Participant with the permission of the Committee), the Committee shall establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals intended to cause the deferral to be either exempt from or in compliance with the rules and regulations of Section 409A of the Code. In any event, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have the authority to establish rules or procedures that would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code on the grant date to become subject thereto. The Committee may provide for the payment or crediting of interest, at such rate or rates as it shall in its discretion deem appropriate, on such deferred amounts credited in cash and the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of deferred amounts credited in common stock equivalents. Deferred amounts may be paid in a lump sum or in installments in the manner and to the extent permitted, and in accordance with rules and procedures established, by the Committee. For purposes of clarity, an Award to an Outside Director may not be deferred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.

 

13. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

Unless the Committee determines otherwise at the time an Award is granted, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. An Award and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately if a Participant attempts to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of an Award or any rights therein to any person except as permitted herein or pursuant to the terms of such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and on and subject to such terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate, which terms and conditions shall be set forth in the related Award Agreement: (i) authorize a Participant to transfer all or a portion of any Award granted to such Participant; provided, that in no event shall any transfer be made to any person or persons other than such Participant’s spouse, children or grandchildren, or a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more such persons, which transfer must be made as a gift and without any consideration; and (ii) provide for the transferability of a particular grant or Award pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. All other transfers and any re-transfer by any permitted transferee are prohibited and any such purported transfer shall be null and void. Each Award which becomes the subject of permitted transfer (and the Participant to whom it was granted by the Company) shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to such permitted transfer. The Participant shall remain responsible to the Company for the payment of all withholding taxes including but not limited to those incurred as a result of any grant, vesting or exercise of such Award, as applicable. In no event shall any permitted transfer of an Award create any right in any party in respect of any Award, other than the rights of the qualified transferee in respect of such Award specified in the related Award Agreement.

 

14. CHANGE IN CONTROL

(a) EFFECT ON AWARDS. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company, except as the Board comprised of a majority of continuing Directors may expressly provide otherwise, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary: (i) all Stock Options then

 

13


outstanding shall become fully exercisable as of the date of the Change in Control, whether or not then exercisable; (ii) all restrictions and conditions in respect of all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Grants then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the Change in Control; and (iii) all Performance Awards and Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned, at the maximum amount of the award opportunity specified in the Award Agreement, as of the date of the Change in Control.

(b) CHANGE IN CONTROL DEFINED. For purposes of this Section 14 of the Plan, Change in Control means a transaction of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereto, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) any Person or Group is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (other than the Company or any employee benefit plan of the Company; and, for purposes of the Plan, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of the Beneficial Ownership or changes therein, of the Company’s securities by either of the foregoing); (ii) there shall be consummated (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving or continuing corporation or pursuant to which shares of common stock would be converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of common stock immediately prior to the merger have, directly or indirectly, at least a 65% ownership interest in the outstanding common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, or (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company other than any such transaction with entities in which the holders of the Company common stock, directly or indirectly, have at least a 65% ownership interest; (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (iv) as the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender offer, exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets, proxy or consent solicitation (other than by the Board), contested election or substantial stock accumulation, the members of the Board immediately prior to the first public announcement relating to such Control Transaction shall thereafter cease to constitute a majority of the Board.

In the event that a payment or delivery of an Award following a Change in Control would not be a permissible distribution event, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code or any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder, then the payment or delivery shall be made on the earlier of (i) the date of payment or delivery originally provided for such benefit; or (ii) the date of termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company or six months after such termination in the case of a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i).

 

15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Board may at any time terminate the Plan, except with respect to Awards then outstanding. The Board may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem necessary or appropriate without approval of the shareholders, unless such approval is necessary in order to comply with applicable laws, including the Exchange Act, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules on which prices for the Common Stock are quoted at any given time, the Code and the analogous applicable laws of any other country or jurisdiction where Awards are granted under the Plan. In no event may the Board amend the Plan without the approval of the shareholders to: (i) increase the Aggregate Share Limit; (ii) increase any limitation set forth in the Plan on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued, or the aggregate value of Awards which may be made, issued, or received, in respect of any type of grant to all Participants during the term of the Plan or to any individual Participant during any specified period; (iii) reduce the minimum exercise price for Stock Options; or (iv) change the Performance Measure criteria identified at Section 10 of the Plan.

 

16. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) WITHHOLDING TAXES. All Awards granted under the Plan will be made subject to any applicable withholding for taxes of any kind. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any amount payable under the Plan, including delivery of shares of Common Stock to be made under the Plan, all

 

14


federal, state, city, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment (including social insurance contributions) and to take such other actions as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy withholding taxes, such shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value thereof on the date when the withholding for taxes is required to be made. The Company shall have the right to require a Participant to pay cash to satisfy withholding taxes as a condition to the payment or settlement of any amount (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock) under the Plan.

(b) NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any Award shall confer upon any Employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Employee at any time, with or without cause.

(c) UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan shall be unfunded and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any Award under the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be effected pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.

(d) PAYMENTS TO TRUST. The Committee is authorized to cause to be established a trust agreement or several trust agreements where under the Committee may make payments of amounts due or to become due to Participants in the Plan.

(e) OTHER COMPANY BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of any termination indemnity or severance pay law of any country and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any pension or other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company or any Subsidiary, unless (i) expressly so provided by such other plan or arrangement or (ii) the Committee expressly determines that an Award or a portion thereof should be included as recurring compensation. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prohibit the Company or any Subsidiary from establishing other special awards, incentive compensation plans, compensation programs and other similar arrangements providing for the payment of performance, incentive or other compensation to Employees. Payments and benefits provided to any Employee under any other plan, including, without limitation, any stock option, stock award, restricted stock, deferred compensation, savings, retirement or other benefit plan or arrangement, shall be governed solely by the terms of such other plan.

(f) REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Common Stock or cash payouts under this Plan will be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

(g) SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. As to any Participant who is, on the relevant date, an Executive Officer, Director or ten percent Beneficial Owner of any class of the Company’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, all as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule. To the extent any provision of this Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it will be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

No Stock Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award, if such exercise or issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate the Securities Act of 1933 (or other federal or state statutes having similar requirements), as in effect at that time. Each Award shall be subject to the further requirement that, if at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award under any securities exchange requirements or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue of shares of Common Stock thereunder, such Award may not be exercised and no shares of Common Stock may be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Board.

 

15


(h) CODE SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, to the extent that any Award would be subject to Section 409A of the Code, no such Award may be granted if it would fail to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that the Committee determines that the Plan or any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, the Committee reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan and/or amend, restructure, terminate, or replace the Award, without the consent of the Grantee, to cause the Award to either not be subject to Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section. In addition, for each Award subject to Section 409A of the code, a termination of employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have occurred under the Plan with respect to such award on the first day on which an individual has experienced a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

(i) SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan.

(j) TRANSITION—The Plan replaces and supersedes the Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan of Tech Data Corporation, as amended (the “Prior Plan”), which shall automatically terminate when the Plan becomes effective; provided, that such termination shall not affect any grants or awards then outstanding under the Prior Plan.

(k) GOVERNING LAW. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.
