Insight began operations in Arizona in 1988, incorporated in Delaware in 1991 and completed its initial public offering in 1995.  Our corporate headquarters are located in Tempe, Arizona.  From our original location in the United States, we expanded nationwide and then entered Canada in 1997 and the United Kingdom in 1998.  Through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth, we continued to increase our geographic coverage and expand our technical capabilities.  Our acquisitions were as follows:

Prior to 2015 we acquired Software Spectrum, Inc. (2006), Calence, LLC (2008), MINX Limited (2008), Ensynch, Inc. (2011), Inmac GmbH (2012) and Micro Warehouse BV (2012).

Our acquisitions from 2015 through today were as follows:  

 

•

2015 – Acquired BlueMetal Architects, Inc. (“BlueMetal”), an interactive design and technology architecture firm, and strengthened our digital innovation services capabilities in the area of application design, mobility and big data;    

 

•

2016 – Acquired Ignia, Pty Ltd (“Ignia”), and expanded our global footprint in the areas of application design, digital solutions, cloud, mobility and business analytics, while also building on our ability to bring digital innovation solutions to our clients in APAC;

 

•

2017 – Acquired Datalink Corporation (“Datalink”) and strengthened our position as a leading IT solutions provider with deep technical expertise delivering data center transformation solutions to clients on premise or in the cloud.  Additionally, we acquired Caase Group B.V. (referred to herein as, “Caase.com”) and strengthened our ability to deliver cloud and data center solutions to our clients in EMEA;

 

•

2018 – Acquired Cardinal Solutions Group, Inc. (“Cardinal”), a digital solutions provider and strengthened our digital innovations capabilities; and

 

•

2019 – On August 30, 2019, we acquired PCM, Inc. (“PCM”), a provider of multi-vendor technology offerings, including hardware, software and services which complemented our supply chain optimization solution offering, adding scale and clients in the mid-market and corporate space primarily in North America.

Our Purpose and Values

 

Our purpose: “We build meaningful connections to help businesses run smarter.”  We live by our core values of Hunger, Heart and Harmony, which set the tone for our business and define who we are.  

3

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

Our core values are:

 

Hunger – Our insatiable desire to create new opportunities for our clients and our business is apparent in everything we do.

 

Heart – We seek to have a positive impact in the lives of the people we serve by putting our clients, partners and teammates first.

 

Harmony – We invite perspective, and we consistently celebrate each other’s unique contributions as we work together to bring the best solutions to our clients.

We believe that these values strengthen the overall Insight experience for our clients, partners and teammates (we refer to our customers as “clients,” our suppliers as “partners” and our employees as “teammates”).    

Our Market

The worldwide total addressable market for information technology is forecasted to be $3.7 trillion annually according to Gartner, a leading IT research and advisory company.  Based on our analysis of Gartner market data, we believe the top 10 most comparable global solution providers represent less than 20% of the worldwide total addressable market.  We believe our addressable worldwide market in the indirect sales IT channel represents approximately $671 billion in annual sales and for the year ended December 31, 2019, our net sales of $7.7 billion represented approximately 1% of that highly diverse market.  We believe that we are well positioned in this highly fragmented global market with locations in 21 countries and our deep experience delivering IT hardware, software and services solutions across the globe.  

Our Value Proposition

 

As the IT industry evolves, our value proposition to our clients continues to evolve.  The increased complexity across the technology ecosystem, combined with the continual emergence of new trends and offerings, has made it difficult for most clients to effectively manage their IT environments.  We consult with our clients regarding their IT product and services needs and help our clients define, architect, implement and manage their IT solutions.

We believe that Insight has a unique position in the market to gain profitable market share by offering Intelligent Technology SolutionsTM that empower our clients to manage their IT environments so they can drive meaningful business outcomes today and transform their operations for tomorrow.

 

Insight’s Strategic Assets are a Platform for Growth

 

•

Culture, people and leadership – we have many teammates on one global team who live by our core values; we show hunger, heart and harmony in everything we do. We put people first, believing that technology can connect people in powerful ways.

 

•

Innovation led solution area expertise –

 

o

Software DNA – we understand complex software licensing requirements and have the know-how to optimize our clients’ usage and compliance management through a portfolio of license consulting and optimization services.

 

o

Data center transformation skills – in support of our long-term strategy, we acquired Datalink (2017, U.S.) and Caase.com (2017, Netherlands), providers of IT services, cloud and enterprise data center solutions. This added deep technical expertise and complementary services offerings to our internally developed solutions and increased our addressable market opportunity in hybrid cloud and other high-growth data center categories.

 

o

Next-generation tech skills – we quickly adapt to new technology trends and innovation, investing internally to advance our technical capabilities while at the same time making strategic acquisitions that establish us as thought leaders, with scale and reach, around emerging market trends.  Annually, we gather thought leaders from our technical expert pool to share best practices through peer led learning sessions.  The BlueMetal (2015, U.S.), Ignia (2016, Australia) and Cardinal (2018, U.S.) acquisitions are examples of

4

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

 

acquisitions that have given us global capabilities to support our clients as they look to accelerate in the digital world.

 

o

App development and Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) expertise – we were recognized as Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner of the Year for IoT as well as Mobile App Development in 2018 and 2017.  That expertise combined with our hardware and software expertise, makes us well-positioned to deliver holistic connected product and IoT solutions.

 

•

Global reach and scale – we have the capabilities to serve clients across the globe with hardware, software provisioning and related services, and with integrated technology solutions in multiple countries directly or through our partner network.

 

•

Diverse partner relationships – we have a multi-partner approach and have deep relationships with leading product manufacturers, software publishers and distribution partners, as well as emerging cloud and other technology partners, to service our global portfolio of commercial and public sector clients with the integrated IT solutions that make the most sense for their IT environments.

 

•

Operational rigor and financial health – we offer efficient supply chain execution, as well as product fulfillment, logistics capabilities, management tools and technical expertise.  We also have a track record for successfully integrating mergers and acquisitions to accelerate growth.

Our Business Strategy

 

A client’s information technology services needs span an array of business priorities including modern infrastructure and cloud options, workforce productivity initiatives, and leveraging IT to differentiate from their competitors.  We believe our four solution areas effectively represent the areas that our clients care about most and are designed to allow our clients, and the different decision makers within our clients, to interact with us in multiple ways, whether acquiring a hardware or software asset, implementing public cloud or as-a-service workplace solutions, designing a next generation or hybrid cloud data center, or leveraging sophisticated IoT and artificial intelligence solutions to improve their clients’ experience.  At each connection point, we provide technical expertise and advisory services to our clients.  

5

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

Our go to market framework for our four solution areas, built on thirty years of broad IT experience combined with strategic acquisitions, new services development and deep partner relationships, uniquely positions us to help our clients manage their business today and also transform to meet their needs for tomorrow.  Our expertise is deep across these key solutions areas:

 

 

 

 

 

Digital Innovation – We leverage emerging technologies to build innovative applications to improve clients’ business performance, engage customers and uncover new revenue streams.  We help our clients innovate smarter.

 

 

 

 

Cloud and Data Center Transformation – We help businesses modernize and secure critical platforms to transform IT. Through end-to-end services from architecture through management, we help leverage the right platforms to increase agility and support innovation.

 

 

 

 

Connected Workforce – We help clients deliver a secure, modern experience to their workforce, driving productivity in the workplace and helping to attract and retain talent in this competitive marketplace. We help our clients work smarter.

 

 

 

 

Supply Chain Optimization – Through Insight’s core business, we help clients effectively and efficiently acquire all of their information technology needs leveraging our scale and supply chain expertise. We help our clients invest smarter.

 

Each of our solution areas represents a discrete area of growth for our business and when connected to each other, they provide a platform for our clients to leverage our breadth of expertise to solve their most relevant business challenges from IT supply chain to optimizing performance in the digital world.  Our strategy is to increase our penetration with new and existing clients within the four solution areas across our geographic footprint in North America, EMEA and APAC. Our offerings within the solution areas include hardware and software products from market leading and emerging manufacturer brands, sold separately or combined into branded solutions with Insight delivered professional or managed services.  We can serve clients directly in our markets or serve a single client globally where they can enjoy a common experience across our footprint.  To execute our strategy, we employ centralized and field-based sales, engineering, and services resources to connect with our clients.  We also have invested in approximately 1,000 technical engineers, architects and software developers who create and deliver integrated IT solutions to our clients globally, an asset that we believe differentiates us in the marketplace.  

 

Our unique solution area go to market strategy is supported by a strong operational platform that includes scalable IT and e-commerce systems and processes, robust digital marketing capabilities, and a culture of continuous business process transformation and automation.  

 

E-commerce and Cloud Management Systems - In recent years, cloud and as-a-service solutions have become more mainstream and adoption continues to increase across markets and verticals.  Key market imperatives in the adoption of these solutions are speed to market, flexibility, scalability and availability.  We have invested in, and will continue to invest in, technical tools and resources to provide clients with the assessment, migration, integration and managed services required to simplify the cloud adoption decision, whether that decision results in a private, public or hybrid cloud environment.

 

6

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

We also continue to invest in our global e-commerce platform, which serves as a single marketplace for our clients to buy and manage anything from a discrete product offering to their cloud and other as-a-service subscriptions.  Components of our e-commerce platform include:

 

•

Customizable client portals, primarily in North America, which allow clients to streamline procurement and processes through a self-service online tool, drive standardization and optimize reconciliation.

 

•

A focus on small to medium-sized clients, providing them with the ability to learn, solve, buy, and manage cloud products and services via our online experience.  

 

•

A similar online experience and capabilities for our larger enterprise clients with added IT as-a-service broker capabilities allowing larger IT organizations to centrally provide cloud offerings while maintaining the manageability and visibility they require.

 

Digital Marketing Enablement – We have invested in internal industry and marketing expertise to develop original go to market and IT solution content, whitepapers and industry research studies to ensure we enable our clients with relevant information around IT and business trends.  Further, we leverage a best-in-class digital marketing technology stack to personalize the delivery of our content through an omni-channel experience as they manage and transform their IT investment. Our integrated suite of digital marketing tools has allowed us to access and grow our position in the mid-market over the past few years while also strengthening our marketing alignment with our partners.

 

Culture of Business Transformation and Automation – At the heart of our culture is an intense desire to improve our clients’ experience when doing business with us either on the web, through business to business connections or on the telephone.  We have a dedicated business transformation team focused on end to end process improvement initiatives around order flow, dynamic pricing and cost optimization, and back office operations, all oriented to the impact on client experience.  In 2018, we began to invest in process automation and optical recognition scanning solutions to improve certain of our client facing processes, making the buying experience more frictionless while improving the scalability of our business processes for the long term.

Our Offerings

Our offerings in North America and certain countries in EMEA and APAC include hardware, software and services.  Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA and APAC segments consist of largely software and certain software-related services.  On a consolidated basis, hardware, software and services represented approximately 60%, 27% and 13%, respectively, of our net sales in 2019.  This compares to 61%, 27% and 12%, respectively, of our net sales in 2018 and 58%, 32% and 10%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales in 2017.  Additional detailed sales mix information by operating segment can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 and in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

Hardware Product Offerings  

We offer products from hundreds of manufacturers, including such industry leaders as Cisco, Dell/EMC, HP Inc., Lenovo, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”), NetApp, Apple, Microsoft and IBM.  Our scale and purchasing power, combined with our efficient, high-volume and cost effective direct sales and marketing model, allow us to offer competitive prices.  We believe that offering choices from multiple partners enables us to better serve our clients by providing a variety of product solutions to address their specific business needs.

In addition to our distribution facilities, we have “direct-ship” programs with many of our partners, including manufacturers and distributors, allowing us to expand our product offerings without increasing inventory, handling costs or inventory warehousing risk exposure.  As a result, we are able to offer billions of dollars of products in virtual inventory in fulfilling our performance obligations to our clients.  Convenience and product options among multiple brands are key competitive advantages compared to manufacturers’ direct selling programs, which are generally limited to their own brands and may not offer clients a complete or best-in-class solution across all product categories.

Software Product Offerings

 

Our clients acquire software applications from us in the form of licensing agreements with software publishers or boxed products.  We offer products from hundreds of publishers, including such industry leaders as Microsoft, VMware, Adobe, IBM Software, Symantec and Citrix.  

As software publishers choose different models for implementing licensing agreements, businesses must evaluate the alternatives to ensure that they select the appropriate agreements and comply with the publishers’ licensing terms when purchasing and managing their software licenses.  With many publishers now offering public cloud-based software solutions in place of licenses consumed on premise, we expect we will continue to see migration to the cloud-based software alternatives discussed above in our services offerings.

Our Information Technology Systems

We have committed significant resources to the IT systems that we own and use to manage our business and believe that our success is dependent upon our ability to provide prompt and efficient service to our clients based on the accuracy, quality and utilization of the information generated by our IT systems.  Because these systems affect our ability to manage our sales, client service, partner relationships and programs, distribution, inventories and accounting systems and our voice and data networks, we have built redundancy into certain systems, maintain system outage policies and procedures and have comprehensive data backup.  We are focused on driving improvements in sales productivity through upgraded IT systems to support higher levels of client satisfaction and new client acquisition, as well as garnering efficiencies in our business.  

We operate under a single, standardized IT system across North America and APAC and a separate, single IT system platform in all countries in our EMEA operations.  We are currently integrating the PCM business to our IT system platforms.  We plan to migrate our EMEA operations to the same IT system used in North America and APAC.

For a discussion of risks associated with our IT systems, see “Risk Factors – Disruptions in our IT systems and voice and data networks could affect our ability to service our clients and cause us to incur additional expenses,” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

Our Competition

 

The IT hardware, software and services industry is very fragmented and highly competitive.  Our competition includes:

 

 

•

Solution providers, value-added resellers and direct marketers such as CDW, Zones, Connection, SHI, Softchoice, Systemax, Computacenter, Bechtle, SoftwareONE, Comparex, and Crayon;

 

•

Systems integrators such as ePlus, Presidio, World Wide Technology, Perficient and Accenture;

9

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

 

•

Specialty retailers, aggregators, distributors, and to a lesser extent, national computer retailers, computer superstores, Internet-only computer providers, consumer electronics and office supply superstores and mass merchandisers;

 

•

Product manufacturers, such as Dell, HP Inc., IBM, Lenovo and HPE;

 

•

Software publishers, such as IBM, Microsoft and Symantec;

 

•

National and global service providers, such as IBM Global Services and HP Enterprise Services; and

 

•

E-tailers, such as Amazon Web Services, Newegg, Buy.com and e-Buyer (United Kingdom).

The competitive landscape in the industry is continually changing as various competitors expand their product and services offerings.  In addition, emerging models such as cloud computing are creating new competitors and opportunities in messaging, infrastructure, security, collaboration and other services offerings, and, as with other areas, we compete both with resellers and directly with manufacturers, publishers or other service providers for many of these offerings.  Many of our manufacturer and publisher partners are also our competitors, as many sell directly to business customers, particularly larger corporate customers.

For a discussion of risks associated with the actions of our competitors, see “Risk Factors – The IT hardware, software and services industry is intensely competitive, and actions of our competitors, including manufacturers and publishers of products we sell, can negatively affect our business,” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.  

Our Partners

We partner with market leaders offering the top technology brands as well as emerging entrants in the marketplace.  During 2019, we purchased products and software from approximately 4,500 partners.  Approximately 62% (based on dollar volume) of these purchases were directly from manufacturers or software publishers, with the balance purchased through distributors.  Purchases from Microsoft and Tech Data (a distributor) accounted for approximately 12% each, of our aggregate purchases in 2019.  No other partner accounted for more than 10% of purchases in 2019.  Our top five partners as a group for 2019 were Microsoft, Tech Data (a distributor), Cisco Systems, HP Inc. and Dell, and approximately 61% of our total purchases during 2019 came from this group of partners.  Although brand names and individual products are important to our business, we believe that competitive sources of supply are available in substantially all of our product categories such that, with the exception of Microsoft, we are not dependent on any single partner for sourcing products.    

During 2019, sales of Microsoft and Dell products accounted for approximately 16% and 11%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales.  No other manufacturer’s or publisher’s products accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in 2019.  Sales of product from our top five manufacturers/publishers as a group (Microsoft, Dell, Cisco Systems, HP Inc. and Lenovo) accounted for approximately 51% of Insight’s consolidated net sales during 2019.

We obtain incentives from certain product manufacturers, software publishers and distribution partners based typically upon the volume of sales or purchases of their products and services.  In other cases, such incentives may be in the form of participation in our partner programs, which may require specific services or activities with our clients, discounts, marketing funds, price protection or rebates.  Manufacturers and publishers may also provide mailing lists, contacts or leads to us.  We believe that these incentives (or partner funding) and other marketing assistance allow us to increase our marketing reach and strengthen our relationships with leading manufacturers and publishers.  

We are focused on understanding our partners’ objectives and developing plans and programs to grow our mutual businesses.  We have invested in our digital marketing capabilities over the past three years.  These digital marketing investments increase the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and client interactions.  We believe that we are emerging as a leader in our industry as we consistently outpace our competition in digital marketing.  We implemented business intelligence tools that enable us to track performance in this area and demonstrate the return on our partners’ investments with us.  We measure partner satisfaction regularly and hold quarterly business reviews with our largest partners to review business results from the prior quarter, discuss plans for the future and obtain feedback.  Additionally, we host annual partner forums in North America, EMEA and APAC to articulate our plans for the upcoming year.

10

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

As we move into new service areas, we may become even more reliant on certain partner relationships.  For a discussion of risks associated with our reliance on partners, see “Risk Factors – We rely on our partners for product availability, competitive products to sell and marketing funds and purchasing incentives, which can change significantly in the amounts made available and the requirements year over year,” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

Our Teammates

As of December 31, 2019, we employed 11,261 teammates, of whom 3,193 were engaged in sales related activities, 3,961 were engaged in management, support services and administration activities, 3,822 were skilled, certified consulting and service delivery professionals and 285 were engaged in distribution activities.  Our teammates in the United States are not represented by a labor union.  Our workforces in certain foreign countries, such as Germany, have worker representative committees or work councils with which we maintain strong relationships.  We believe our relations with our teammates are good, and we have never experienced a labor related work stoppage.  

For a discussion of risks associated with our dependence on certain personnel, including sales personnel, see “Risk Factors – We depend on certain key personnel,” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

Our Seasonality

We experience some seasonal trends in our sales of hardware, software and services.  For example:

 

•

software sales are typically higher in our second and fourth quarters, particularly the second quarter;

 

•

business clients, particularly larger enterprise businesses in the United States, tend to spend more in our fourth quarter and less in the first quarter;

 

•

sales to the federal government in the United States are often stronger in our third quarter, while sales in the state and local government and education markets are stronger in our second quarter; and

 

•

sales to public sector clients in the United Kingdom are often stronger in our first quarter.

These trends create overall seasonality in our consolidated results such that sales and profitability are expected to be higher in the second and fourth quarters of the year.

The majority of our backlog historically has been and continues to be open cancelable purchase orders.  We do not believe that backlog as of any particular date is predictive of future results.

Our Intellectual Property

We do not maintain a traditional research and development group, but we do develop and seek to protect a range of intellectual property, including trademarks, service marks, copyrights, domain name rights, trade dress, trade secrets and similar intellectual property, relying for such protection on applicable statutes and common law rights, trade-secret protection and confidentiality and license agreements, as applicable, with teammates, clients, partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights.  Our principal trademark is a registered mark, and we also license certain of our proprietary intellectual property rights to third parties.  We have registered a number of domain names, applied for registration of other marks in the United States and in certain international jurisdictions, and, from time to time, filed patent applications.  We believe our trademarks and service marks, in particular, have significant value, and we continue to invest in the promotion of our trademarks and service marks and in our protection of them.

For a discussion of risks associated with our intellectual property, see “Risk Factors – We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately, and we may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims,” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

The IT hardware, software and services industry is intensely competitive, and actions of our competitors, including manufacturers and publishers of products we sell, can negatively affect our business.  Competition in the industry is based on price, product availability, speed of delivery, credit availability, quality and breadth of product lines, and, increasingly, on the ability to provide services and tailor specific solutions to client needs.  Many of our manufacturer and publisher partners are also our competitors, as many sell directly to business customers, particularly larger corporate customers.  In addition to the manufacturers and publishers of products we sell, we compete with a large number and wide variety of providers and resellers of IT hardware, software and services.  We believe our industry will see further consolidation as product resellers and direct marketers combine operations or acquire or merge with other resellers, service providers and direct marketers to increase efficiency, service capabilities and market share.  Moreover, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their product and service offerings.  Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and acquire significant market share. 

 

The competitive landscape in which we operate continues to change as new technologies are developed.  While innovation helps our business as it creates new offerings for us to sell, it can also disrupt our business model and create new and stronger competitors.  For instance, while cloud-based solutions present an opportunity for us, cloud-based solutions and technologies that deliver technology solutions as-a-service could increase the amount of sales directly to customers rather than through solutions providers like us, or could reduce the amount of hardware or software we sell, leading to a reduction in our sales and/or profitability.  Accordingly, we are dependent on continued innovations by our current vendor partners and our ability to partner with new and emerging technology providers.  

 

Generally, pricing is very aggressive in the industry, and we expect pricing pressures to continue.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate prices as favorable as those negotiated by our competitors or that we will be able to offset the effects of price reductions with an increase in the number of clients, higher net sales, cost reductions or higher sales of services, which are typically at higher gross margins, or otherwise.  Price reductions by our competitors that we either cannot or choose not to match could result in an erosion of our market share and/or reduced sales or, to the extent we match such reductions, could result in reduced operating margins or inventory impairment charges, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Some of our competitors in each of our operating segments may have greater technical, marketing and other resources than we do.  In addition, some of these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and client requirements.  Many current and potential competitors also may have greater name recognition and engage in more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to their customers and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we do.  Additionally, some of our competitors have higher margins and/or lower operating cost structures, allowing them to price more aggressively.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on our partners for product availability, competitive products to sell and marketing funds and purchasing incentives, which can change significantly in the amounts made available and the requirements year over year.  We acquire products for resale both directly from manufacturers and publishers and indirectly through distributors, and the loss of a significant partner relationship could cause a disruption in the availability of products to us.  There can be no assurance that manufacturers and publishers will continue to sell or will not limit or curtail the availability of their product to resellers like us.  The loss of, or change in business relationship with, any of our key vendor partners could negatively impact our business.  

In addition, certain manufacturers, publishers and distributors provide us with substantial incentives in the form of rebates, marketing funds and other investments, purchasing incentives, early payment discounts, referral fees and price protections (collectively, “partner funding”).  Partner funding is used to offset, among other things, inventory costs, costs of goods sold, marketing costs and other operating expenses.  Certain of these funds are based on our volume of sales or purchases, growth rate of net sales, increases in customer usage, or purchases and marketing programs.  If we do not meet the goals of these programs or if we are not in compliance with the terms of these programs, there could be a material negative effect on the amount of incentives offered or paid to us by manufacturers and publishers.  We continue to experience adverse partner funding program changes that reduce the incentives many partners make available to us and that change the requirements for earning such incentives.  If we are unable to react timely to remediate and respond to these changes in partner funding programs of publishers and manufacturers, including the elimination of, or significant reductions in, funding for some of the activities for which we have been compensated in the past, the changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  This is especially true in connection with the incentive programs of our largest partners: Microsoft, Dell, Cisco Systems, HP Inc. and Lenovo. There can be no assurance that we will continue to receive such incentives in the future. 

 

Changes in the IT industry and/or rapid changes in technology may reduce demand for the IT hardware, software and services we sell or change who makes purchasing decisions for IT hardware, software and services.  Our results of operations are influenced by a variety of factors, including the condition of the IT industry, shifts in demand for, or availability of, IT hardware, software, peripherals and services, and industry innovation and the introduction of new products and technologies.  The IT industry is characterized by rapid technological change and the frequent introduction of new products and changing delivery channels and models, which can decrease demand for current products and services and can disrupt purchasing patterns.  If we fail to react in a timely manner to such changes, we may experience lower sales and, with respect to hardware, we may have to record write-downs of obsolete inventory.  In addition, in order to satisfy client demand, protect ourselves against product shortages, obtain greater purchasing discounts and react to changes in original equipment manufacturers’ terms and conditions, we may decide to carry inventory of products that may have limited or no return privileges.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to avoid losses related to inventory obsolescence on these products.  Additionally, if purchasing power within our clients shifts from centralized procurement functions to business units or individual end users and we are unable to react timely to any such changes, these shifts in purchasing power could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The cloud and “as-a-service” models are transforming the IT market and introducing new products, services and competitors to the market.  In many cases, these new distribution models allow enterprises to obtain the benefits of commercially licensed, internally operated software with less complexity and lower initial set-up, operational and licensing costs, which increases competition for us.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to adapt to, or compete effectively with, current or future distribution channels or competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The acquisition, integration and operation of acquired businesses, including PCM, may disrupt our business and create additional expenses, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions. In connection with our strategic initiatives, we regularly acquire new businesses to expand our technical capabilities, product offerings and customer base and to realize cost savings. All acquisitions entail various risks such as difficulties in realizing the benefits of the acquired business, exposure to unexpected liabilities, difficulties in retaining key employees and adverse customer reactions.  In addition, integration of an acquired business, such as PCM, involves

13

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

numerous risks, including assimilation of operations of the acquired business and difficulties in the convergence of IT systems, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, risks of entering markets in which we have had no or only limited direct experience, assumption of unknown or unquantifiable liabilities, the potential loss of key teammates and/or clients, difficulties in completing strategic initiatives already underway in the acquired company, and unfamiliarity with partners of the acquired company, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  The continued integration activities of the acquired businesses into our business is difficult and time consuming, particularly with the integration of a company the size of PCM, and we may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies over the long term.  We cannot assure that these risks or other unforeseen factors will not offset the intended benefits of the acquisitions, in whole or in part.

 

Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly.  Our operating results are highly dependent upon our level of gross profit as a percentage of net sales, which fluctuates due to numerous factors, including changes in prices from partners, changes in the amount and timing of partner funding, volumes of purchases, changes in client mix, management of our cash conversion cycle, the relative mix of products and services sold during the period, general competitive conditions, and strategic product and services pricing and purchasing actions.  As a result of significant price competition and our higher concentration of large enterprise clients, our gross margins are low, and we expect them to continue to be low in the future.  Increased competition arising from industry consolidation and low demand for certain IT products and services may hinder our ability to maintain or improve our gross margins.  These low gross margins magnify the impact of variations in revenue and operating costs on our operating results.  In addition, our expense levels are based, in part, on anticipated net sales and the anticipated amount and timing of partner funding, and a portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed.  Therefore, we may not be able to reduce spending quickly enough to compensate for any unexpected net sales shortfall, and we may not be able to reduce our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue to mitigate any further reductions in gross margins in the future.  If we cannot proportionately decrease our cost structure, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.  In addition, a reduction in the amount of credit granted to us by our partners could increase our need for and cost of working capital and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

There are risks associated with our international operations that are different than the risks associated with our operations in the United States, and our exposure to the risks of a global market could hinder our ability to maintain and expand international operations.  Outside of the United States, we have operation centers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Philippines and the United Kingdom, as well as sales offices throughout EMEA and APAC.  In the regions in which we do not currently have a physical presence, we serve our clients through strategic relationships.  In implementing our international strategy, we may face barriers to entry and competition from local companies and other companies that already have established global businesses, as well as the risks generally associated with conducting business internationally.  The success and profitability of international operations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, such as:

 

 

•

political or economic instability;

 

•

changes in governmental regulation or taxation (foreign and domestic);

 

•

currency exchange fluctuations;

 

•

changes in import/export laws, regulations and customs and duties and tariffs (foreign and domestic);

 

•

trade restrictions (foreign and domestic);

 

•

difficulties of conducting business, managing operations, and costs of staffing in certain foreign countries;

 

•

work stoppages or other changes in labor conditions;

 

•

taxes and other restrictions on repatriating foreign profits back to the United States;

 

•

extended payment terms;

 

•

seasonal reductions in business activity in some parts of the world; and

 

•

natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest, public health concerns (including health epidemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases such as the coronavirus) and other geopolitical uncertainties.

 

14

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

In addition, changes in policies and/or laws of the United States or foreign governments, including data privacy restrictions such as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) resulting in, among other changes, higher taxation, tariffs or similar protectionist laws, currency conversion limitations, limitations on business operations, or the nationalization of private enterprises could reduce the anticipated benefits of international operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We have currency exposure arising from both sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany transactions outside the United States, and we currently conduct limited hedging activities.  In addition, some currencies may be subject to limitations on conversion into other currencies, which can limit the ability to otherwise react to rapid foreign currency devaluations.  We cannot predict with precision the effect of future exchange-rate fluctuations, and significant rate fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

International operations also expose us to currency fluctuations as we translate the financial statements of our foreign operations to U.S. dollars. 

 

General economic conditions, including unfavorable economic conditions in a particular region, business or industry sector, may lead our clients to delay or forgo investments in IT hardware, software and services.  Weak economic conditions generally or any broad-based reduction in IT spending adversely affects our business, operating results and financial condition.  A prolonged slowdown in the global economy or similar crisis, or in a particular region or business or industry sector, or tightening of credit markets, could cause our clients to have difficulty accessing capital and credit sources, delay contractual payments, or delay or forgo decisions to upgrade or add to their existing IT environments, license new software or purchase products or services (particularly with respect to discretionary spending for hardware, software and services).  Such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Economic or industry downturns could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of our expectations.  A significant deterioration in our ability to collect on accounts receivable could also impact the cost or availability of financing under our accounts receivable securitization program.

 

Our sales to our public sector customers are also impacted by government spending policies, government shutdowns, budget priorities and revenue levels.  An adverse change in government spending policies (including budget cuts at the federal, state and local level), budget priorities or revenue levels could cause our public sector customers to reduce their purchases or to terminate or not renew their contracts with us.  These possible actions or the adoption of new or modified procurement regulations or practices could have a material adverse effect our business, financial position and results of operations.

Political developments, economic instability or natural disasters impacting international trade, including continued uncertainty surrounding the Referendum on the United Kingdom’s Membership in the European Union (“EU”) (referred to as “Brexit”) and, trade disputes and increased tariffs, particularly between the United States and China, may negatively impact markets and cause weaker macroeconomic conditions or drive sentiment that weakens demand for our products and services.  Potential adverse consequences of Brexit such as global market uncertainty, volatility in currency exchange rates, greater restrictions on imports and exports between the United Kingdom and EU countries and increased regulatory complexities could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may face risks related to health epidemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases. For example, there have been recent outbreaks in several countries, including China, of the highly transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus.  The outbreak of such communicable diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect general commercial activity and the economies and financial markets of many countries.  Since some of our business partners’ and our operations are in China and other Asian countries, an outbreak of communicable diseases in Asia or elsewhere, or the perception that such an outbreak could occur, and the measures taken by the governments of countries affected could adversely affect our business, supply chain, financial

15

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

condition or results of operations.  Additionally, an outbreak could significantly disrupt our business by limiting our ability to travel or adversely impact the ability of our manufacturers, publishers and distributors to ship materials, thereby forcing temporary disruption in the availability of products that we sell to our clients.

 

Our acquisition strategy may increase our outstanding debt and interest expense and decrease the availability under our financing facilities, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  To fund our acquisition initiatives, we increase our total borrowings from time to time, such as with the PCM acquisition.  These additional borrowings have the effect of increasing our future interest expenses and require escalating amortization payments.  Additionally, certain of our financing facilities have interest rates that vary based on market conditions and on utilization, which increases our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and may result in greater interest expense than we have forecasted.

Our financing facilities contain covenants that we must comply with in order to avoid an occurrence of an event of default.  The covenants include, among other things, limitations on the payment of dividends and compliance with certain minimum fixed charge ratio and minimum receivables requirements, as well as meeting monthly, quarterly and annual reporting requirements.  Our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants and to make scheduled payments on our financing facilities depends on our financial and operating performance.  If we were unable to maintain compliance or to repay the borrowed amounts, the lenders under our financing facilities could declare an event of default and demand payment within a specified period of time.  

Cyberattacks and breaches in the security of our electronic and other confidential information could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.  We are dependent upon automated information technology processes.  Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved to facilitate commerce and as cross-border commerce increases.  As part of our normal business activities, we collect and store certain proprietary and confidential information, including information about teammates and information about partners and clients which may be entitled to protection under a number of regulatory regimes.  In the course of normal and customary business practice, we may share some of this information with vendors who assist us with certain aspects of our business.  Moreover, the success of our operations depends upon the secure transmission of confidential and personal data over public networks, including the use of cashless payments.  We have privacy and data security policies in place that are designed to prevent security breaches; however, as newer technologies evolve, and the portfolio of the service providers we share confidential information with grows, we could be exposed to increased risks from breaches in security, including those from human error, negligence or mismanagement or from illegal or fraudulent acts, such as cyberattacks.  

The evolving nature of threats to data security, in light of new and sophisticated methods used by criminals and cyberterrorists, including computer viruses, malware, phishing, misrepresentation, social engineering and forgery, make it increasingly challenging to anticipate and adequately mitigate these risks.  Any failure on the part of us or our vendors to maintain the security of data we are required to protect, including via the penetration of our network security and the misappropriation of confidential and personal information, could result in business disruption, damage to our reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation with potentially large costs, and also result in deterioration in our teammates’, partners’ and clients’ confidence in us and other competitive disadvantages, and thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  

Cyberthreats are constantly evolving, increasing the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them.  Malicious individuals or organizations may attempt to penetrate our network security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns.  Such individuals or organizations also may develop or deploy viruses, worms, ransomware or otherwise exploit security vulnerabilities of our systems or our product offerings, or attempt to fraudulently induce our employees, customers or others to disclose passwords or other sensitive information or unwittingly provide access to our systems or data. Cyberthreats, data breaches, malware and similar disruptions from unauthorized access or tampering by malicious actors or inadvertent error could disrupt the security of our systems and business applications, impair our ability to provide services to our customers and protect the privacy of their data, resulting in

16

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

compromise of confidential or technical business information harming our reputation and competitive position.  

Like many other businesses, we have been, and expect to continue to be, subject to electronic data attacks and threats, although we do not believe attacks have resulted in the misappropriation of sensitive data in a material way.  Additionally, some of the hardware and software products we resell could have defects or otherwise be the subject of security breaches and other attacks.  We would consider the consequences of such attacks to be the responsibility of the respective manufacturers and publishers of such products, however, if such circumstances were to arise, we may be required to notify regulators and individuals of a data breach and could be subject to litigation.

Disruptions in our IT systems and voice and data networks could affect our ability to service our clients and cause us to incur additional expenses.  We believe that our success to date has been, and future results of operations will be, dependent in large part upon our ability to provide prompt and efficient service to our clients.  Our ability to provide that level of service is largely dependent on the ease of use, accuracy, quality and utilization of our IT systems, which affects our ability to manage our sales, client service, distribution, inventories and accounting systems, and the reliability of our voice and data networks and managed services offerings.  If our current technology is determined to have a shorter economic life or the value of our current system is impaired, or necessary improvements to our technology are significantly delayed, we could incur additional expense and/or charges.  The continuing development of our IT systems is crucial for our success.  Accordingly, some of our IT systems are subject to ongoing IT projects designed to streamline or optimize the information systems. In addition, we plan to migrate our EMEA operations to the same IT system used in North America and APAC.  There is no guarantee that we will be successful in these efforts at all times or that there will not be implementation or integration difficulties.  In addition, a substantial interruption in our IT systems or in our voice and data networks, however caused, could occur and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The failure to comply with the terms and conditions of our commercial and public sector contracts could result in, among other things, damages, fines or other liabilities.  Sales to commercial clients are based on stated contractual terms, the terms and conditions on our website or terms contained in purchase orders on a transaction by transaction basis.  Sales to public sector clients are derived from sales to federal, state and local governmental departments and agencies, as well as to educational institutions, through open market sales and various contracts and programs.  Noncompliance with contract terms, particularly to highly regulated public sector clients, or with government procurement regulations and other requirements could result in fines or penalties against us or termination of contracts, and, in the public sector, could also result in civil, criminal, and administrative liability.  With respect to our public sector clients, the government’s remedies may include suspension or debarment.  In addition, almost all of our contracts have default provisions, and substantially all of our contracts in the public sector are terminable at any time for convenience of the contracting agency.   

We are exposed to risks from legal proceedings and client audits and failure to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our operations could adversely impact our business, results of operations or cash flows.  We are party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, which include commercial, employment, tort and other litigation.  Because of our significant sales to governmental entities, we also are subject to audits by federal, state, international, national, provincial and local authorities in the ordinary course of our business.  We also are subject to and currently engage in audits by various vendor partners and large customers, including government agencies, relating to purchases and sales under various contracts.  In addition, we are subject to indemnification claims under various contracts.  Current and future litigation, infringement claims, governmental proceedings and investigations, audits or indemnification claims that we face may result in substantial costs and expenses and significantly divert the attention of our management regardless of the outcome.  Additionally, our operations are subject to numerous U.S. and foreign laws and regulations in a number of areas including areas of labor and employment, advertising, e-commerce, tax, import and export requirements, anti-corruption, data privacy requirements, including data privacy restrictions such as the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), anti-competition, and environmental, health, and safety. Compliance with these laws, regulations and similar requirements may be onerous and expensive, and they may be inconsistent

17

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business, and the risk of noncompliance. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to help ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but there can be no guarantee against teammates, contractors, or agents violating such laws and regulations or our policies and procedures.

We are exposed to accounts receivable risks.  We extend credit to our customers for a significant portion of our net sales, typically on 30-day payment terms.  We are subject to the risk that our customers may not pay for the products they have purchased, or may pay at a slower rate than we have historically experienced, the risk of which is heightened during periods of economic downturn or uncertainty or, in the case of public sector customers, during periods of budget constraints.

We rely on independent shipping companies for delivery of products and are subject to price increases or service interruptions from these carriers.  We generally ship hardware products to our customers by FedEx, United Parcel Service and other commercial delivery services and invoice customers for delivery charges.  If we are unable to pass on to our clients future increases in the cost of commercial delivery services, our profitability could be adversely affected.  Additionally, strikes, inclement weather, natural disasters or other service interruptions sustained by such shippers could adversely affect our ability to deliver products on a timely basis.  Such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on certain key personnel.  We rely on key management teammates to execute our strategy to grow profitable market share.  The loss of one or more of these leaders, or a failure to attract and retain new executives, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  We also believe that our future success will be largely dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified management, sales, service and technical teammates, and we make significant investments in the training of our leadership team, sales account executives, architects and services engineers.  If we are not able to retain such personnel or to train them quickly enough to meet changing market conditions, we could experience a drop in the overall quality and efficiency of our sales and services teammates, and that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at one of our primary facilities or customer data centers could damage our business.  We have warehouse and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada and in the United Kingdom and Germany.  If the warehouse and distribution equipment at one of our distribution centers were to be seriously damaged by a natural disaster or other adverse occurrence, we could utilize another distribution center or third-party distributors to ship products to our customers.  However, this may not be sufficient to avoid interruptions in our service and may not enable us to meet all of the needs of our customers and would cause us to incur incremental operating costs.  In addition, we operate customer data centers and numerous sales offices which may contain both business-critical data and confidential information of our customers.  A natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at any of the customer data centers or at any of our major sales offices could negatively impact our business, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Changes in, interpretations of, or enforcement trends related to tax rules and regulations may adversely affect our effective income tax rates or operating margins and we may be required to pay additional tax assessments.  We conduct business globally and file tax returns in various U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions.  Our effective income tax rate could be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:

 

 

•

changes in pre-tax income in various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;

 

•

increases in corporate tax rates and the availability of deductions or credits in the United States and elsewhere;

 

•

changes in tax laws, regulations, and/or interpretations of such tax laws in multiple jurisdictions, including but not limited to U.S. federal and state regulations or interpretations resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017;

 

•

tax effects related to acquisition accounting; and

 

•

resolutions of issues arising from tax examinations and any related interest or penalties.

18

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires estimation, judgment and complex calculations in situations where the ultimate tax determination may not be certain.  Our determination of tax liabilities is always subject to review or examination by tax authorities in various jurisdictions.  Any adverse outcome of such review or examination could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately, and we may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims.  To protect our intellectual property, we rely on copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, unpatented proprietary know-how, and patents, as well as confidentiality, invention assignment, non-solicitation and non-competition agreements.  There can be no assurance that these measures will afford us sufficient protection of our intellectual property, and it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information without authorization or otherwise infringe on our intellectual property rights.  The disclosure of our trade secrets could impair our competitive position and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, our registered trademarks and trade names are subject to challenge by third parties.  This may affect our ability to continue using those marks and names.  Likewise, many businesses are actively investing in, developing and seeking protection for intellectual property in the areas of search, indexing, e-commerce and other Web-related technologies, as well as a variety of on-line business models and methods, all of which are in addition to traditional research and development efforts for IT products and application software, and non-practicing entities continue to invest in acquiring patent portfolios for the purpose of turning the portfolios into income-generating assets, whether through licensing campaigns or litigation.  If there is a determination that we have infringed the proprietary rights of others, we could incur substantial monetary liability, be forced to stop selling infringing products or providing infringing services, be required to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements, if available, or be prevented from using the rights, which could force us to change our business practices or hardware, software or services offerings in the future.  These types of claims and challenges could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could have important consequences to our business.  We have a substantial amount of indebtedness.  As of December 31, 2019, we had $859.4 million of total long-term debt outstanding, as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and an additional $253.7 million of obligations outstanding under our inventory financing agreements.  We also have the ability to borrow an additional $629.3 million under our senior secured credit facility.  Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences, that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the following:

 

•

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness;

 

•

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to debt service payments on our and our subsidiaries’ debt, which reduces the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

 

•

requiring us to comply with restrictive covenants in our senior secured debt facility, which limits the manner in which we conduct our business;

 

•

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industry in which we operate;

 

•

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any of our less-leveraged competitors;

 

•

increasing our vulnerability to both general and industry-specific adverse economic conditions; and

 

•

limiting our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements and increasing our cost of borrowing.

The conditional conversion feature of the notes, if triggered, may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.  In the event the conditional conversion feature of the notes is triggered, holders of notes will be entitled to convert the notes at any time during specified periods at their option.  If one or more holders elect to convert their notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than

19

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity.  In addition, even if holders of notes do not elect to convert their notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net current assets.

The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as the notes, could have a material effect on the Company’s reported financial results.  Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of the convertible debt instruments (such as the notes) that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost.  The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for the notes is that the equity component is required to be included in the additional paid-in capital section of stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet at the issuance date and the value of the equity component is treated as debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the notes.  As a result, we record a greater amount of non-cash interest expense as a result of the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the notes to their face amount over the term of the notes.  We will report larger net losses (or lower net income) in our financial results because ASC 470-20 requires interest to include both the amortization of the debt discount and the instrument’s non-convertible coupon interest rate, which could adversely affect our reported or future financial results, the trading price of our common stock and the trading price of the notes.

In addition, under certain circumstances, convertible debt instruments (such as the notes) that may be settled entirely or partly in cash at the election of the issuer and are in the money at the reporting date may be included in the treasury stock method under ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.”  To the extent that the conversion value of the notes exceeds their principal amount, the shares issuable upon conversion of such notes are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share thus increasing the number of shares included in this calculation.  We cannot be sure that the accounting standards in the future will continue to permit the use of the treasury stock method.  If we are required to include the notes in the treasury stock method in accounting for the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes, then our diluted earnings per share could be adversely affected.

Future sales of the Company’s common stock or equity-linked securities in the public market could lower the market price for our common stock.  In the future, we may sell additional shares of our common stock or equity-linked securities to raise capital.  In addition, a substantial number of shares of our common stock is reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, restricted stock units, upon conversion of the notes and in connection with the warrants to be issued in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions.  We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market price for our common stock.  The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of common stock or equity-linked securities, or the perception that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities.

The Company is subject to counterparty risk with respect to the convertible note hedge transactions.  The option counterparties are financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and we are subject to the risk that one or more of such option counterparties may default under the convertible note hedge transactions.  Our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties will not be secured by any collateral.  If any option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the convertible note hedge transaction.  Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, the increase in our exposure will be correlated to the increase in our common stock market price and in the volatility of the market price of our common stock.  In addition, upon a default by the option counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and dilution with respect to our common stock.

The Company may face risk associated with the discontinuation of and transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark interest rate. The Company has outstanding debt with variable interest rates based on LIBOR, and it is anticipated that LIBOR will be discontinued as of the year ending 2021. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR will require lenders and their borrowers to transition from LIBOR to an alternative benchmark interest rate, which could have an impact on and risk to the Company if not completed in a timely manner. The Company’s current material loan documents include an alternative benchmark interest rate.  At this time, however, it is not possible to predict the effect of any changes to LIBOR, any phase out of LIBOR or any establishment of alternative benchmark rates in the future. Any new benchmark rate will likely not replicate LIBOR exactly, which could impact our contracts which terminate after 2021. In addition, any changes to benchmark rates in the future may have an uncertain impact on our cost of funds and our access to the capital markets, which could impact our results of operations and cash flows.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.  Our actual results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and elsewhere in this report.  Additionally, any references to our “core” business exclude PCM’s results subsequent to the PCM acquisition.

Overview

Today, every business is a technology business.  We empower organizations of all sizes with Intelligent Technology SolutionsTM and services to maximize the business value of information technology (“IT”) in North America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”).  As a Fortune 500-ranked global provider of digital innovation, cloud/data center transformation, connected workforce, and supply chain optimization solutions, we help clients innovate and optimize their operations to run smarter.  Our offerings in North America and certain countries in EMEA and APAC include hardware, software and services.  Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA and APAC segments are largely software and certain software-related services.

Full year 2019 financial and operational highlights included the following:

 

•

We generated growth in earnings from operations on a consolidated basis and in our North America and EMEA reporting segments.

 

•

We grew our services business by 20% on a consolidated basis with growth in each of our reporting segments.

 

•

We generated cash flows from operations of $127.9 million.

 

•

We completed the acquisition of PCM on August 30, 2019 and commenced the integration of IT systems and back office operations which we expect to complete in 2020.  

On a consolidated basis, for the year ended December 31, 2019:

 

•

Net sales of $7.7 billion increased 9% compared to 2018.  

 

•

Gross profit of $1.1 billion increased 15% compared to 2018, also up 16% year over year excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.  

 

•

Consolidated gross margin improved approximately 70 basis points to 14.7% of net sales in 2019.  This increase reflects growth in services net sales and gross profit together with the impact of PCM from August 30, 2019.  

 

•

Earnings from operations increased to $240.6 million in 2019, up 3% compared to the prior year, which represented 3.1% of net sales.  

 

•

Our effective tax rate in 2019 was 24.7%, which compares to our effective tax rate of 22.8% in 2018.  

 

•

Net earnings and diluted net earnings per share were $159.4 million and $4.43, respectively, in 2019. In 2018, we reported net earnings of $163.7 million and diluted net earnings per share of $4.55.    

The results of operations for 2019 include the following items:

 

•

the results of the acquisition of PCM, effective August 30, 2019;

 

•

transaction costs totaling $11.3 million, $9.9 million net of tax, associated with the acquisition of PCM;

 

•

severance and restructuring expenses of $5.4 million, $4.0 million net of tax;

 

•

the repurchase of approximately 541,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate of $27.9 million; and

 

•

the impact of the adoption of FASB Topic 842 (“Topic 842”), effective January 1, 2019, resulting in the recording of net operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $65.9 million and $70.5 million, respectively.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

The results of operations for 2018 include the following items:

 

•

the impact of the adoption of FASB Topic 606 (“Topic 606”);

 

•

the results of the acquisition of Cardinal, effective August 1, 2018;

 

•

transaction costs totaling $282,000 associated with the acquisition of Cardinal;

 

•

severance and restructuring expenses of $3.4 million, $2.7 million net of tax; and

 

•

the repurchase of approximately 641,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate of $22.0 million.

The results of operations for 2017 include the following items:

 

•

the results of the acquisitions of Caase.com and Datalink, from their respective acquisition dates;

 

•

transaction costs totaling $3.3 million, $2.5 million net of tax, associated with the acquisitions of Caase.com and Datalink;

 

•

severance and restructuring expenses of $9.0 million, $7.3 million net of tax;

 

•

incremental income tax expense related to U.S. federal tax reform of $13.4 million; and

 

•

the loss on the sale of our Russia business totaling $3.6 million.

Throughout the “Overview” and “Results of Operations” sections of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we refer to changes in net sales, gross profit, selling and administrative expenses and earnings from operations on a consolidated basis and in North America, EMEA and APAC excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.  In computing these amounts and percentages, we compare the current period amount as translated into U.S. dollars under the applicable accounting standards to the prior period amount in local currency translated into U.S. dollars utilizing the weighted average translation rate for the current period.

Net of tax amounts referenced above were computed using the statutory tax rate for the taxing jurisdictions in the operating segment in which the related expenses were recorded, adjusted for the effects of valuation allowances on net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.  

During 2019, we generated $127.9 million of cash from operating activities, we utilized $664.3 million, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired to fund our acquisition of PCM and for the final working capital and tax true up paid for Cardinal.  We borrowed $550.0 million under our new senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL facility”) and received $341.3 million from the issuance of our convertible senior notes.  We ended the year with $114.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $855.5 million of debt outstanding under our long-term debt facilities.  

Details about segment results of operations can be found in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in the understanding of our consolidated financial statements, including the changes in certain key items in those consolidated financial statements from year to year and the primary factors that contributed to those changes, as well as how certain critical accounting estimates affect our consolidated financial statements.

Our gross profit across the business and related to product versus services sales are, and will continue to be, impacted by partner incentives, which can change significantly in the amounts made available and the related product or services sales being incentivized by the partner.  These changes could impact our results of operations to the extent we are unable to shift our focus and respond to them. For a discussion of risks associated with our reliance on partners, see “Risk Factors – We rely on our partners for product availability, competitive products to sell and marketing funds and purchasing incentives, which can change significantly in the amounts made available and the requirements year over year,” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

Net sales in North America increased 12%, or $661.3 million, in 2019 compared to 2018.  This increase reflects the addition of PCM, which reported $716.1 million in net sales in 2019, partially offset by a decline in net sales of the core business of $51.3 million.  Net sales of hardware, software and services increased 10%, 14% and 25%, respectively, year over year.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

The increases year over year were the result of the following:

 

 

•

PCM accounted for the higher volume of hardware net sales in 2019 compared to 2018.  This was partially offset by lower volume of hardware net sales to large enterprise clients in the core business due to a slow-down of the device refresh cycle.  

 

•

PCM accounted for approximately 70% of the year over year increase in software net sales. In our core business there was also an increase in software net sales as a result of a significant transaction during the first quarter of 2019 with a large enterprise client, with no comparable transaction in the same quarter in the prior year.  

 

•

PCM accounted for approximately 56% of the year over year increase in services net sales.  In our core business, application related services net sales which is part of our digital innovation solution area accounted for approximately 30% of the increase in services net sales, including the acquisition of Cardinal Solutions which we completed in the third quarter of 2018.  The trend toward higher sales of cloud solution offerings continued, as did, higher software aintenance sales and increases in supplier reimbursements that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis. These were offset partially by declines in warranty net sales and consulting and managed services net sales in our core business.

Net sales in EMEA remained flat (increased 5% excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), or down $3.6 million, in 2019 compared to 2018.  Net sales of hardware declined 5%, year to year, while net sales of software and services were up 2% and 7%, respectively, year over year.  The changes were the result of the following:

 

 

•

Lower volume of net sales of networking solutions, partially offset by higher volume of net sales of devices, to large enterprise and public sector clients in hardware net sales.

 

•

Higher volume of software net sales to large enterprise and public sector clients.

 

•

Higher volume of net sales of cloud solution offerings and increased software referral fees that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis.  In addition, there was an increase in the volume of Insight delivered services.

Net sales in APAC decreased 4% (increased 2% excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency rates), or $6.7 million, in 2019 compared to 2018.  In APAC, increases in hardware and services net sales year over year were offset by a decrease in software net sales during 2019 compared to 2018.  The changes were the result of the following:

 

 

•

Continued expansion of hardware offerings in the APAC market resulted in higher net sales in this category.

•

Continued trend toward higher sales of cloud solution offerings that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis in the services net sales category resulted in declines in the software net sales category.

 

•

Higher volume of net sales of cloud solution offerings and software referral fees that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis positively impacted services net sales.  Additionally, there were contributions from Insight delivered services from increased net sales of our digital innovation solutions offering.

North America’s gross profit in 2019 increased 19% compared to 2018, and as a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased by approximately 80 basis points year over year.  The year over year net increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the following:

 

 

•

A net increase in product margin, which includes partner funding and freight, of 30 basis points year over year.  This increase was due primarily to improvements in hardware and software product margin partially as a result of improvements in core business margins on product net sales and also as a result of PCM.  

 

•

Services margin improvement year over year of 50 basis points was generated from increased vendor funding, cloud solution offerings and referral fees. In addition, there was a 21 basis point improvement in margins from Insight delivered services.  

EMEA’s gross profit in 2019 increased 3% (increased 8% excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), compared to 2018.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased by approximately 40 basis points year over year.  APAC’s gross profit in 2019 increased 1% (increased 6% excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), compared to 2018, with gross margin increasing to 22.1% in 2019 from 21.2% in 2018.  The improvement in gross margin for both EMEA and APAC in 2019 compared to 2018 was due primarily to changes in sales mix to higher margin products and services.

Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately 70 basis points as a percentage of net sales in 2019 compared to 2018.  The increase in expenses reflects the addition of PCM to our North America and EMEA segments, effective August 30, 2019.  The addition of PCM and increased variable compensation resulting from increased sales and gross profit in 2019 compared to 2018 were the primary drivers for the $90.9 million increase in personnel costs.  PCM was also the primary driver for year over year increases in facilities, travel and entertainment, and marketing expenses.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $8.8 million year over year, primarily due to additional amortization expense on newly acquired intangible assets.     

Severance and Restructuring Expenses.  During 2019, we recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $5.4 million.  The North America and EMEA charges related to severance actions taken to realign roles and responsibilities subsequent to the acquisition of PCM in August 2019, as well as a headcount reduction as part of cost reduction initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2019.  For 2019, charges were partially offset by immaterial adjustments for changes in estimates of previous accruals as cash payments were made during the year.  During 2018, we recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $3.4 million.  

 

Acquisition-related Expenses.  During 2019, we incurred $11.3 million in direct third-party costs related to the acquisition of PCM.  Comparatively, during 2018, we incurred $282,000 in such costs related to the acquisition of Cardinal.  See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of acquisitions.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense.

Interest Expense, net.  Interest expense, net primarily relates to borrowings under our financing facilities and imputed interest under our convertible notes and inventory financing facilities, partially offset by interest income generated from interest earned on cash and cash equivalent bank balances.  Interest expense increased 30%, or $6.8 million, in 2019 compared to 2018 due primarily to higher average daily balances under our debt facilities, in 2019 compared to 2018, while imputed interest under our inventory financing facilities increased $200,000 to $10.8 million in 2019 and imputed interest under our convertible senior notes was $3.7 million in 2019.    

Other Expense (Income), Net.  Other expense (income), net, consists primarily of foreign currency exchange gains and losses.  Foreign currency exchange gains and losses result from foreign currency transactions, including foreign currency derivative contracts and intercompany balances that are not considered long-term in nature.  The change in net foreign currency exchange gains/losses is due primarily to the underlying changes in the applicable exchange rates, partially mitigated by our use of foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies on certain of our non-functional currency assets and liabilities.

Income Tax Expense.  Our effective tax rate for 2019 was 24.7% compared to 22.8% in 2018.  The increase in the tax rate from 2018 to 2019 was primarily due to a non-recurring benefit recorded in 2018 to true-up provisional amounts related to U.S tax reform.  The effective tax rate in 2019 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefits, and higher taxes on earnings in foreign jurisdictions.  These increases to the federal statutory rate in 2019 were offset partially by decreases in the valuation allowance in certain foreign jurisdictions and the recognition of tax benefits, net of reserves, related to research and development activities.  See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of income tax expense.

Cash and Cash Flow

 

•

Our primary uses of cash during 2019 were to fund the acquisition of PCM, fund working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, including the purchase of real estate, and to repurchase shares of our common stock.  

 

•

Operating activities generated $127.9 million in cash in 2019.  

 

•

During 2019, we drew down net combined borrowings on our long-term debt facilities of $356.0 million and acquired PCM for $660.9 million, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired.  

 

•

We received net proceeds of $341.3 million from the issuance of our convertible senior notes in 2019.  

 

•

In connection with the issuance of our convertible senior notes, we entered into certain convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our common stock.  We paid approximately $66.3 million for the convertible note hedge transaction using proceeds from the convertible senior notes offering.  

 

•

In addition, we received aggregate proceeds of approximately $34.4 million for the sale of related warrants.  

 

•

In August 2019, we terminated our senior revolving credit facility (“revolving credit facility”) and accounts receivable securitization financing facility (the “ABS facility”) and entered into a new $1.2 billion ABL facility.  Net repayments of the revolving credit facility and ABS facility combined during 2019 were $194.0 million.  Net borrowings under the ABL revolving credit facility during 2019 were $550.0 million.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

 

•

In July 2019, we entered into an unsecured inventory financing facility with MUFG Bank Ltd and in August 2019 we terminated our existing inventory financing facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) and entered into a new unsecured facility with Wells Fargo, creating a combined total maximum capacity of $450.0 million, of which $253.7 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2019.

 

•

Capital expenditures were $69.1 million in 2019, a significant increase from 2018, reflecting our purchase of real estate for future use as our global corporate headquarters and continued IT investments in our core ERP systems and e-commerce and digital marketing platforms.  

 

•

During 2019, we repurchased an aggregate of $27.9 million of our common stock, using proceeds from the convertible notes offering, under a previously announced repurchase program compared to $22.1 million repurchased during 2018.

We anticipate that cash flows from operations, together with the funds available under our financing facilities, will be adequate to support our cash and working capital requirements for operations as well as other strategic investments over the next 12 months.  We expect existing cash and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating cash activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as capital expenditures, repurchases of our common stock and debt repayments, for at least the next 12 months.  

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.  

 

•

Cash flow from operating activities in 2019 was $127.9 million, a significant decrease in cash generation compared to 2018.  This decrease is the result of timing of payment of accounts payable as we typically pay our partners on average terms that are shorter than the average terms we grant to our clients in order to take advantage of supplier discounts.  

 

•

The significant increases in both other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities for 2019 resulted from a single significant transaction in 2019 with no comparable activity in the prior year.

 

•

In 2018, cash flow from operating activities was $292.6 million, a significant increase in cash generation compared to 2017.  This increase is the result of our focus on expense control, optimizing working capital, including an enhanced focus on collection of receivables, and reducing our investments in inventory.  

 

Our consolidated cash flow operating metrics for the quarters ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

(a)

Calculated as the balance of accounts receivable, net at the end of the period divided by daily net sales.  Daily net sales is calculated as net sales for the quarter divided by 92 days.

(b)

Calculated as average inventories (excluding inventories not available for sale in 2017) divided by daily costs of goods sold.  Average inventories is calculated as the sum of the balances of inventories at the beginning of the period plus inventories at the end of the period divided by two.  Daily costs of goods sold is calculated as costs of goods sold for the quarter divided by 92 days.

(c)

Calculated as the sum of the balances of accounts payable – trade and accounts payable – inventory financing facility at the end of the period divided by daily costs of goods sold.  Daily costs of goods sold is calculated as costs of goods sold for the quarter divided by 92 days.

(d)

Calculated as DSOs plus DIOs, less DPOs.

 

 

•

Our cash conversion cycle was 38 days in the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to 33 days in the fourth quarter of 2018.  

 

•

The increase resulted from the net effect of a two day decrease in DSO and a seven day decrease in DPOs due to the impact of the addition of PCM and the relative timing of client receipts and supplier payments during the respective quarters.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

•

We expect that cash flow from operations will be used, at least partially, to fund working capital as we typically pay our partners on average terms that are shorter than the average terms we grant to our clients in order to take advantage of supplier discounts.  

 

•

We intend to use cash generated in 2020 in excess of working capital needs to support our capital expenditures for the year and to pay down our debt balances.  We also may use cash to fund potential acquisitions.

Net cash used in investing activities.  

 

•

In 2019, we acquired PCM for $660.9 million net of cash and cash equivalents acquired of $84.6 million and including the payment of PCM’s outstanding debt.

 

•

Capital expenditures of $69.1 million in 2019 was due primarily to our purchase of real estate to be used in the future for our global corporate headquarters.  

 

•

Capital expenditures of $17.3 million in 2018 were primarily related to technology and facility enhancements.  

 

•

We expect total capital expenditures in 2020 to be between $55.0 million and $60.0 million, of which approximately $35.0 million is for the build out of our global corporate headquarters, and the remainder is for technology-related upgrade projects and the integration of prior acquisitions.

 

•

During 2018, we acquired Cardinal for $78.8 million net of cash and cash equivalents acquired. We paid the final working capital and tax adjustments of approximately $3.4 million related to this acquisition in 2019.  

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.  

 

•

During 2019, we had net combined borrowings on our long-term debt under our new ABL revolving credit facility, our revolving credit facility and ABS facility of $356.0 million and had net repayments under our inventory financing facilities of $50.5 million.  

 

•

In connection with the issuance of our convertible senior notes, we entered into certain convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our common stock.  We paid approximately $66.3 million for the convertible note hedge transaction using proceeds from the convertible senior notes offering.

 

•

In addition, we received aggregate proceeds of approximately $34.4 million for the sale of related warrants.  

 

•

In 2019, we also funded $27.9 million of repurchases of our common stock.  

 

•

During 2018, we had net combined repayments on our long-term debt under our revolving credit facility, our Term Loan A and ABS facility of $114.8 million and had net repayments under our inventory financing facility of $15.3 million.  

 

•

In 2018, we also funded $22.1 million of repurchases of our common stock.

For a comparison of our cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019.

Financing Facilities

As of December 31, 2019, our long-term debt balance includes $570.7 million outstanding under our $1.2 billion ABL facility.  As of December 31, 2019, the current portion of our long-term debt relates to our finance leases and other financing obligations.  

 

•

Our objective is to pay our debt balances down while retaining adequate cash balances to meet overall business objectives.

 

•

Our convertible senior notes are subject to certain events of default and certain acceleration clauses.  As of December 31, 2019, no such events have occurred.

 

•

Our ABL revolving credit facility contains various covenants customary for transactions of this type, including complying with a minimum receivable and inventory requirement and meeting monthly, quarterly and annual reporting requirements.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

 

•

The credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.  

 

•

At December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

 

•

While the ABL facility has a stated maximum amount, the actual availability under the ABL facility is limited by a minimum accounts receivable and inventory requirement.  As of December 31, 2019, eligible accounts receivables and inventory were sufficient to permit access to the full $1.2 billion under the ABL facility.

We also have agreements with financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of inventory from certain suppliers under certain terms and conditions.  These amounts are classified separately as accounts payable - inventory financing facilities in our consolidated balance sheets.    

Notes 7 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report also include: a description of our financing facilities; amounts outstanding; amounts available and weighted average borrowings and interest rates during the year.  

Undistributed Foreign Earnings

Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. income taxation upon repatriation to the United States.  As a result of U.S. Federal tax reform enacted in December 2017, all undistributed foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017 were deemed distributed and we provided for U.S. income and withholding taxes on those earnings.  For years subsequent to December 31, 2017, we continue to assert indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings for certain foreign entities.  As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately $101.7 million in cash and cash equivalents in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.  As of December 31, 2019, the majority of our foreign cash resides in the Netherlands, Canada and Australia.  Certain of these cash balances will be remitted to the U.S. by paying down intercompany payables generated in the ordinary course of business or through actual dividend distributions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, which include guaranties and indemnifications.  These arrangements are discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.  We believe that none of our off-balance sheet arrangements have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

The table above includes:

 

I.

Estimated interest payments of $16.8 million in each of 2020 through 2023, and $28.0 million in the first eight months of 2024, based on the current debt balance at December 31, 2019 of $570.7 million under our ABL facility, multiplied by the floating interest rate applicable at December 31, 2019 of 2.94% per annum.

 

II.

Estimated interest payments of $2.6 million in each of 2020 though 2024, and $1.8 million in the first eight months of 2025, based on the principal debt balance at December 31, 2019 of $350.0 million under our senior convertible notes, multiplied by the stated interest rate applicable at December 31, 2019 of 0.75% per annum.

(c)

As of December 31, 2019, this amount has been included in our contractual obligations table above as being due in less than 1 year due to the 30- to 120-day stated vendor terms.  See further discussion in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

(d)

Amounts in the table above exclude non-cancellable rental income.

The table above excludes unrecognized tax benefits, which include accrued interest, as we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of settlement.  See further discussion in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Although we set purchase targets with our partners tied to the amount of supplier reimbursements we receive, we have no material contractual purchase obligations with our partners.

Acquisitions

Our strategy includes the possible acquisition of or investments in other businesses to expand or complement our operations or to add certain services capabilities.  The magnitude, timing and nature of any future acquisitions or investments will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of suitable candidates, the negotiation of acceptable terms, our financial capabilities and general economic and business conditions.  Financing for future transactions would result in the utilization of cash, incurrence of additional debt, issuance of stock or some combination of the three.  See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a discussion of our acquisition of PCM on August 30, 2019.

Inflation

We have historically not been adversely affected by inflation, as technological advances and competition within the IT industry have generally caused the prices of the products we sell to decline and product life cycles tend to be short.  This requires our growth in unit sales to exceed the decline in prices in order to increase our net sales.  We believe that most price increases could be passed on to our clients, as prices charged by us are not set by long-term contracts; however, as a result of competitive pressure, there can be no assurance that the full effect of any such price increases could be passed on to our clients.

Critical Accounting Estimates

General

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  For a summary of significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results, however, may differ from our estimates.  Members of our senior management have discussed the critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.  

We consider the following to be our critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Sales Recognition

We sell hardware and software products on both a stand-alone basis without any services and as solutions bundled with services.

 

When we provide a combination of hardware and software products with the provision of services, we separately identify our performance obligations under our contract with the client as the distinct goods (hardware and/or software products) or services that will be provided.  The total transaction price for an arrangement with multiple performance obligations is allocated at contract inception to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its stand-alone selling price.  The stand-alone selling price is the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to a client.  We estimate the price based on observable inputs, including direct labor hours and allocable costs, or use observable stand-alone prices when they are available.

 

For each of our product and services offerings, described in detail at Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report, the determination needs to be made as to whether we are the principal or the agent in the transaction.  This determination leads to how the revenue for each offering is recognized, either gross, where we are the principal in the transaction, or net, where we are the agent in the transaction.  This determination is made by assessing whether or not we control the product or service at any time during the transaction.  If we take control of the product or service prior to delivery to the client, then we are the principal in the transaction.    

Partner Funding

We receive payments and credits from partners, including consideration pursuant to volume sales incentive programs, volume purchase incentive programs and shared marketing expense programs.  Partner funding received pursuant to volume sales incentive programs is recognized as it is earned as a reduction to costs of goods sold.  Partner funding received pursuant to volume purchase incentive programs is allocated as a reduction to inventories based on the applicable incentives earned from each partner and is recorded in costs of goods sold as the related inventory is sold.  Partner funding received pursuant to shared marketing expense programs is recorded as it is earned as a reduction of the related selling and administrative expenses in the period the program takes place if the consideration represents a reimbursement of specific, incremental, identifiable costs.  Consideration that exceeds the specific, incremental, identifiable costs is classified as a reduction of costs of goods sold.  Changes in estimates of anticipated achievement levels under individual partner programs could have a material effect on our results of operations and our cash flows.

See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our accounting policies related to partner funding.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Acquisition Accounting

We allocate the purchase price of an acquired business, using the acquisition method of accounting, to its tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.  The excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.  Certain assumptions and judgements are used to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities.  We engage outside appraisal firms to assist in the fair value determination of identifiable intangible assets.  We may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation, after the acquisition closing date and through the end of the measurement period of one year or less, as we finalize the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities.  Changes in estimates used in the preliminary purchase price allocation could have a material effect on the final valuation and result in changes to goodwill and intangible assets.  Additionally, if forecasts supporting the valuation of intangible assets or goodwill are not achieved, then an impairment charge could be recorded.

See further information on acquisition accounting in Notes 1 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.      

Goodwill

We perform an annual review of our goodwill in the fourth quarter of every year.  We continually assess if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value and assess whether any indicators of impairment exist.  The assessment requires a significant amount of judgment.  Events or circumstances that could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, significant declines in our stock price for a sustained period or significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future cash flows or results of operations.  Any adverse change in these factors, among others, could have a significant effect on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  

We may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test.  Otherwise, the goodwill impairment test is not required.  In completing a quantitative test for a potential impairment of goodwill, we compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit in which the goodwill resides to its book value, including goodwill.  Our reporting units are our operating segments.  Management must apply judgment in determining the reporting units and in estimating the fair value of our reporting units.  Multiple valuation techniques can be used to assess the fair value of the reporting unit, including the market and income approaches.  All of these techniques include the use of estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value or goodwill impairment, or both.  These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, an appropriate control premium in excess of the market capitalization of the Company, future market growth, forecasted sales and costs and appropriate discount rates.  Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.  Management evaluates the merits of each significant assumption, both individually and in the aggregate, used to determine the fair value of the reporting units.  If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired.  If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.  To ensure the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of our reporting units, we perform a reconciliation of our total market capitalization to the estimated fair value of all of our reporting units.  

See further information on the carrying value of goodwill in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Income Taxes

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  We consider past operating results, future market growth, forecasted earnings, historical and projected taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and statutory tax law changes in determining the need for a valuation allowance.  If we were to determine that it is more likely than not that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made.  Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that all or part of the net deferred tax assets would be realized, then all or part of the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed.    

We establish liabilities for potentially unfavorable outcomes associated with uncertain tax positions taken on specific tax matters.  These liabilities are based on management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. There may be differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these matters that may result in subsequent recognition or derecognition of a tax position based on all the available information at the time.  If material adjustments are warranted, it could affect our effective tax rate.  

Additional information about the valuation allowance and uncertain tax positions can be found in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Insight Enterprises, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 21, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue in 2018 due to the adoption of the FASB’s ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Evaluation of revenue recognition

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation 1) as a principal by transferring control of a product or service or 2) as an agent by arranging for sales of a vendor’s product or service. The Company

42

 

measures revenue based on the consideration received in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company offers hardware and software products, as well as services. Given the number of product and service offerings, significant judgment is exercised by the Company in recognizing revenue, including the following decisions:

 

•

Determining the point in time when a customer takes control of hardware.

 

•

Determining the point in time when the customer acquires or renews the right to use or copy software under license and control transfers to the customer.

 

•

Evaluating the Company as either a principal or an agent for hardware and software products and services, and the related recognition of revenue from the customer on a gross or a net basis.

 

•

Determining an appropriate pattern of revenue recognition for service performance obligations.

We identified the evaluation of revenue recognition as a critical audit matter because the audit effort to evaluate the Company’s revenue recognition judgments was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We tested certain internal controls over the revenue recognition process, including controls related to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition and gross versus net revenue recognition. As part of testing the Company’s internal controls, we also involved information technology (IT) professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in testing of general IT controls over significant systems and the evaluation of system interface controls and automated controls designed to determine the existence, accuracy, and completeness of revenue. We evaluated the Company’s significant accounting policies related to its product and service offerings by reviewing the terms of certain vendor and customer contracts and comparing to the revenue recognition standard. We selected a sample of revenue transactions and performed the following for each selection:

 

•

Obtained evidence of a contract with the customer.

 

•

Compared the amounts recognized to underlying documentation, including purchase orders, shipping documentation, and evidence of payment, if applicable.

 

•

Evaluated the Company’s application of their accounting policies to determine the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized.

 

•

Tested the presentation of revenue as gross or net by comparing the attributes of the underlying  vendor support to the Company’s accounting policy.

Evaluation of acquisition-date fair value of customer relationship intangible asset acquired in the PCM, Inc. business combination.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements, on August 30, 2019, the Company acquired PCM, Inc. (PCM) in a business combination. As a result of the transaction, the Company acquired a customer relationship intangible asset associated with the generation of future income from PCM’s existing customers. The acquisition-date fair value for the customer relationship intangible asset was $175.5 million.

We identified the evaluation of the acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset acquired in the PCM transaction as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of subjectivity in evaluating the assumptions within the discounted cash flow model used to estimate the acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset. The evaluation was challenging as the discounted cash flow model included the following internally-developed assumptions for which there was limited observable market information, and the estimated fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset was sensitive to possible changes to these assumptions:

 

•

Forecasted revenue growth rates attributable to existing customers

 

•

Estimated annual customer attrition rate

 

•

Forecasted earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization (EBITA) margins

 

•

Weighted-average cost of capital (WACC), including the discount rate

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We tested certain internal controls over the Company’s acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationship process to develop the relevant assumptions listed above, including controls related to the analysis of the assumptions based on market participants’ views. We evaluated the Company’s forecasted growth rates for existing customers by comparing forecasted growth assumptions to those of PCM’s peers and industry reports. We compared the Company’s forecasted PCM revenue growth and EBITA margins to PCM’s historical actual results to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. We evaluated the estimated annual customer attrition rate by comparing to the Company’s

43

 

historical small-medium business customer attrition data. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

 

•

Evaluating the Company’s discount rate, by comparing it against a discount rate range that was independently developed using publicly available market data for comparable entities;

 

•

Assessing the Company’s WACC calculation by comparing it against an independent estimated WACC range based on inputs obtained through published surveys and studies; and

 

•

Developing an estimate of the acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset using the Company’s cash flow forecast and an independently developed discount rate, and compared the results to the Company’s fair value estimate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Insight Enterprises, Inc.:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Insight Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 21, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired PCM, Inc. during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, PCM Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting associated with 18% of total assets and 10% of net sales included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of PCM, Inc.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 9A(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Description of Business

We empower organizations of all sizes with Intelligent Technology SolutionsTM and services to maximize the business value of Information Technology (“IT”) in North America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”).  As a Fortune 500-ranked global provider of digital innovation, cloud/data center transformation, connected workforce, and supply chain optimization solutions, we help clients innovate and optimize their operations to run smarter. Our company is organized in the following three operating segments, which are primarily defined by their related geographies:

 

Operating Segment

 

Geography

North America

 

United States ("U.S.") and Canada

EMEA

 

Europe, Middle East and Africa

APAC

 

Asia-Pacific

 

Our offerings in North America and certain countries in EMEA and APAC include hardware, software and services.  Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA and APAC segments are largely software and certain software-related services.  

Acquisitions

Effective August 30, 2019, we acquired PCM, Inc. (“PCM”), a provider of multi-vendor technology offerings, including hardware, software and services, for a purchase price of approximately $745,562,000, including cash and cash equivalents of $84,637,000 and the payment of PCM’s outstanding debt.  The acquisition was funded through a combination of using cash on hand and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL facility”).  

Effective August 1, 2018, we acquired Cardinal Solutions Group, Inc. (“Cardinal”), a digital solutions provider, for a purchase price, net of cash acquired, of approximately $78,400,000, including the final working capital adjustment and tax gross up adjustments.  The acquisition was funded using cash on hand.  

Effective January 6, 2017, we acquired Datalink Corporation (“Datalink”), a leading provider of IT services and enterprise data center solutions based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, for a cash purchase price of $257,456,000, which included cash and cash equivalents acquired of $76,597,000.  The acquisition was funded using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving facility in the form of an incremental Term Loan A (“TLA”).    

Our results of operations include the results of PCM, Cardinal and Datalink from their respective acquisition dates.  (See Note 20 for a discussion of our acquisitions).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Included in our accounts receivable, net balance at December 31, 2019 is $15,078,000 of accounts receivable from an unconsolidated affiliate.  References to “the Company,” “Insight,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar words refer to Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise.

Acquisition Accounting

The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.  The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.  When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes estimates and assumptions.  Initial purchase price allocations are subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition.  Acquisition-related expenses and transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires 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 consolidated financial statements.  Additionally, these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales recognition, anticipated achievement levels under partner funding programs, assumptions related to stock-based compensation valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, litigation-related obligations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and impairment of long-lived assets, including purchased intangibles and goodwill, if indicators of potential impairment exist.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  

Book overdrafts represent the amount by which outstanding checks issued, but not yet presented to our banks for disbursement, exceed balances on deposit in applicable bank accounts and a legal right of offset with our positive cash balances in other financial institution accounts does not exist.  Our book overdrafts, which are not directly linked to a credit facility or other bank overdraft arrangement, do not result in an actual bank financing, but rather constitute normal unpaid trade payables at the end of a reporting period.  These amounts are included within our accounts payable balance in our consolidated balance sheets.  The changes in these book overdrafts are included within the changes in accounts payable line item as a component of cash flows from operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Restricted cash generally includes any cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage.  These amounts are included with cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statement of cash flows.  All cash receipts/payments with third parties directly to/from restricted cash accounts are reported as an operating, investing or financing cash flow, based on the nature of the transaction.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect our best estimate of probable losses inherent in our accounts receivable balance.  The allowance is based on our evaluation of the aging of the receivables, historical write-offs and the current economic environment.  We write off individual accounts against the reserve when we no longer believe that it is probable that we will collect the receivable because we become aware of a client’s or partner’s inability to meet its financial obligations.  Such awareness may be as a result of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in the client’s or partner’s operating results or financial position.

Inventories

We state inventories, principally purchased IT hardware, at the lower of weighted average cost (which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.  We evaluate inventories for excess, obsolescence or other factors that may render inventories unmarketable at normal margins.  Write-downs are recorded so that inventories reflect the approximate net realizable value and take into account contractual provisions with our partners governing price protection, stock rotation and return privileges relating to obsolescence.  Because of the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing the price protection and stock rotation process, estimates are made regarding write-downs of the carrying amount of inventories.  Additionally, assumptions about future demand, market conditions and decisions by manufacturers/publishers to discontinue certain products or product lines can affect our decision to write down inventories.

Inventories not available for sale relate to product sales transactions in which we are warehousing the product and will be deploying the product to our clients’ designated locations subsequent to period-end.  Additionally, we may perform services on a portion of the product prior to shipment to our clients and will be paid a fee for doing so.  Although these product contracts are non-cancelable with customary credit terms beginning the date the inventories are segregated in our warehouse and invoiced to the client and the warranty periods begin on the date of invoice under previous accounting

52

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

guidance, prior to Topic 606, these transactions did not meet the sales recognition criteria under GAAP.  Therefore, we did not record sales and the inventories were classified as inventories not available for sale on our consolidated balance sheet until the product was delivered.  If clients remitted payment before we delivered the product to them, then we recorded the payments received as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheet until such time as the product was delivered.  For additional information about our accounting policy related to these transactions after adopting Topic 606, see the Bill and Hold Transactions section of our Sales Recognition policy, below.

Property and Equipment

We record property and equipment at cost.  We capitalize major improvements and betterments, while maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed as incurred.  Depreciation or amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated economic lives of the assets:

 

 

 

Estimated Economic Life

Leasehold improvements

 

Shorter of underlying lease term or asset life

Furniture and fixtures

 

2 – 7 years

Equipment

 

3 – 5 years

Software

 

3 – 10 years

Buildings

 

29 years

 

External direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software and payroll and payroll-related costs for teammates who are directly associated with and who devote time to internal-use computer software development projects, to the extent of the time spent directly on the project and specific to application development, are capitalized.

Reviews are regularly performed to determine whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the economic life is shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable.  When an indication exists that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of our assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts.  Such impairment test is based on the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.  Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of those assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired.  Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value.  We may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test.  Otherwise, the goodwill impairment test is not required.  The quantitative goodwill impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting unit in which goodwill resides to its carrying value.  The Company has three reporting units, which are the same as our operating segments.  Multiple valuation techniques would likely be used to assess the fair value of the reporting unit.  These techniques include the use of estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value or goodwill impairment, or both.

Intangible Assets

We amortize finite lived intangible assets acquired in business combinations using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the intangible assets from the date of acquisition.

 

We regularly perform reviews to determine if facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the economic lives of our intangible assets are shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.  When an indication exists that the carrying amount of

53

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of our assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts.  Such impairment test is based on the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.  Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of those assets.

Leases

We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) with a date of initial application of January 1, 2019.  As a result, we updated our accounting policy for leases.  We determine if a contract or arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception.  Balances related to operating leases are included in other assets, other current liabilities, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.  Balances related to financing leases are included in property and equipment, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet.  Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.  

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.  As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.  We use the implicit rate when readily determinable.  The operating lease ROU asset includes any prepaid lease payments and additional direct costs and excludes lease incentives.  Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Self-Insurance

We are self-insured in the U.S. for medical insurance up to certain annual stop-loss limits and workers’ compensation claims up to certain deductible limits.  We establish reserves for claims, both reported and incurred but not reported, using currently available information as well as our historical claims experience.  

Treasury Stock

We record repurchases of our common stock as treasury stock at cost.  We also record the subsequent retirement of these treasury shares at cost.  The excess of the cost of the shares retired over their par value is allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.  The amount recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital is based on the excess of the average original issue price of the shares over par value.  The remaining amount is recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.

Sales Recognition

We adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which created FASB Topic 606 (“Topic 606”) with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018.  As a result, we changed our accounting policy for sales recognition where detailed below.  Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a client, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.  The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation 1) as a principal by transferring control of a product or service or 2) as an agent by arranging for the sales of a vendor’s product or service.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a client, are excluded from revenue.  

We record the freight we bill to our clients as product net sales and the related freight costs we pay as product costs of goods sold.  

Nature of Goods and Services

We sell hardware and software products on both a stand-alone basis without any services and as solutions bundled with services.

When we provide a combination of hardware and software products with the provision of services, we separately identify our performance obligations under our contract with the client as the distinct

54

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

goods (hardware and/or software products) or services that will be provided.  The total transaction price for an arrangement with multiple performance obligations is allocated at contract inception to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its stand-alone selling price.  The stand-alone selling price is the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to a client.  We estimate the price based on observable inputs, including direct labor hours and allocable costs, or use observable stand-alone prices when they are available.  

Product Offerings

Hardware

We recognize hardware product revenue on a gross basis at the point in time when a client takes control of the hardware, which typically occurs when title and risk of loss have passed to the client at its destination.  Our selling terms and conditions were modified during the fourth quarter of 2017 to specify Free On Board (“F.O.B.”) destination contractual terms such that control is transferred from the Company at the point in time when the product is received by the client.  Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, because we either (i) had a general practice of covering client losses while products were in transit despite title and risk of loss contractually transferring at the point of shipment or (ii) had specifically stated F.O.B. destination contractual terms with the client, delivery was not deemed to have occurred until the point in time when the product was received by the client.  The transaction price for hardware sales is adjusted for estimated product returns that we expect to occur under our return policy based upon historical return rates.    

We leverage drop-shipment arrangements with many of our partners and suppliers to deliver products to our clients without having to physically hold the inventory at our warehouses, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs.  We recognize revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis as the principal in the transaction when the product is received by the client because we control the product prior to transfer to the client.  In addition to other factors considered, we assume primary responsibility for fulfillment in the arrangement, we assume inventory risk if the product is returned by the client, we set the price of the product charged to the client and we work closely with our clients to determine their hardware specifications.  

Bill and Hold Transactions

We offer a service to our customers whereby clients may purchase product that we procure on their behalf and, at our clients’ direction, store the product in our warehouse for a designated period of time, with the intention of deploying the product to the clients’ designated locations at a later date.  These warehousing services are designed to help our clients with inventory management challenges associated with technology roll-outs, product that is moving to end of life, or clients needing integrated stock available for immediate deployment.  The client is invoiced and title transfers to the client upon receipt of the product at our warehouse.  These product contracts are non-cancelable with customary credit terms beginning the date the product is received in our warehouse and the warranty periods begin on the date of invoice.  Revenue is recognized for the sale of the product to the client upon receipt of the product at our warehouse.  

Under previous accounting guidance, prior to the adoption of Topic 606, it was determined that these product sales transactions did not meet the revenue recognition criteria under GAAP.  Therefore, we did not record product net sales, and the inventories were classified as inventories not available for sale on our consolidated balance sheets, until the product was delivered to the clients’ designated location.  If clients remitted payment before we delivered the product to them, we recorded the payments received as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets until such time as the product was delivered.

Software

We recognize revenue from software sales on a gross basis at the point in time when the client acquires the right to use or copy software under license and control transfers to the client.  For renewals, revenue is recognized upon the commencement of the term of the software license agreement or when the renewal term begins, as applicable.  This is a change from our accounting treatment prior to the adoption of Topic 606, whereby revenue from renewals of software licenses was recognized when the parties agreed to the renewal or extension, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria had been met.  

55

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Although the revenue recognition treatment for term software license renewals has changed as described above, a substantial portion of the software licenses we sell are perpetual software licenses and do not require renewal or extension after their initial purchase by the client.  Such perpetual licenses are periodically subject to true-up, whereby additional perpetual licenses are sold under the client’s pre-existing master agreement.  Such true-ups are generally sold in arrears, and clients are invoiced for the additional licenses they had already been utilizing.  Since the client controlled these additional perpetual licenses prior to the true-up, software revenue related to the underlying additional licenses is recognized when we agree to the true-up with our client and the partner.  

For sales transactions for certain security software products that are sold with integral third-party delivered software maintenance, we changed our accounting to record the software license on a net basis, as the agent in the arrangement, given the predominant nature of the goods and services provided to the customer.  This is a change from our accounting treatment prior to the adoption of Topic 606, whereby we recorded the sale of these software products on a gross sales recognition basis.

Services Offerings

Software Maintenance

Software maintenance agreements provide our clients with the right to obtain any software upgrades, bug fixes and help desk and other support services directly from the software publisher at no additional charge during the term of the software maintenance agreements.  We act as the software publisher’s agent in selling these software maintenance agreements and do not assume any performance obligation to the client under the agreements.  As a result, we are the agent in these transactions and these sales are recorded on a net sales recognition basis.  Under net sales recognition, the cost of the software maintenance agreement is recorded as a reduction to sales, resulting in net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction, and there are no costs of goods sold.  Because we are acting as the software publisher’s agent, revenue is recognized when the parties agree to the initial purchase, renewal or extension as our agency services are then complete.  We report all fees earned from activities reported net within our services net sales category in our consolidated statements of operations.  

Vendor Direct Support Services Contracts

Clients may purchase a vendor direct support services contract through us.  Under these contracts, our clients call the manufacturer/publisher or its designated service organization directly for both the initial technical triage and any follow-up assistance.  We act as the manufacturer/publisher’s agent in selling these support service contracts and do not assume any performance obligation to the client under the arrangements.  As a result, these sales are recorded on a net sales recognition basis similar to software maintenance agreements, as discussed above.  

Cloud / Software-as-a-Service Offerings

Cloud or software-as-a-service subscription products provide our clients with access to software products hosted in the public cloud without the client taking possession of the software.  We act as the software publisher’s agent in selling these software-as-a service subscription products.  We do not take control of the software products or assume any performance obligations to the clients related to the provisioning of the offerings in the cloud.  As a result, these sales are recorded on a net sales recognition basis.  We report all fees earned from activities recognized net within our services net sales category in our consolidated statements of operations.    

Insight Delivered Services

We design, procure, deploy, implement and manage solutions that combine hardware, software and services to help businesses run smarter.  Such services are provided by us or third-party sub-contract vendors as part of bundled arrangements, or are provided separately on a stand-alone basis as technical, consulting or managed services engagements.  If the services are provided as part of a bundled arrangement with hardware and software, the hardware, software and services are generally distinct performance obligations.  In general, we recognize revenue from services engagements as we perform the underlying services and satisfy our performance obligations.

56

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

We recognize revenue from sales of services by measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of the related service performance obligation.  Billings for such services that are made in advance of the related revenue recognized are recorded as a contract liability.  

Specific revenue recognition practices for certain of our services offerings are described in further detail below.

Time and Materials Services Contracts  

We recognize revenue for professional services engagements that are on a time and materials basis based upon hours incurred for the performance completed to date for which we have the right to consideration, even if such amounts have not yet been invoiced as of period end.  

Fixed Fee Services Contracts  

We recognize revenue on fixed fee professional services contracts using a proportional performance method of revenue recognition based on the ratio of direct labor and other allocated costs incurred to total estimated direct labor and other allocated costs.  

OneCall Support Services Contracts  

When we sell certain hardware and/or software products to our clients, we also enter into service contracts with them.  These contracts are support service agreements for the hardware and/or software products that were purchased from us.  Under certain support services contracts, although we purchase third-party support contracts for maintenance on the specific hardware or software products we have sold, our internal support desk assists the client first by performing an initial technical triage to determine the source of the problem and whether we can direct the client on how to fix the problem.  We refer to these services as “OneCall.”  We act as the principal in the transaction because we perform the OneCall services over the term of the support service contract and we set the price of the service charged to the client.  As a result, we recognize revenue from OneCall extended service contracts on a gross sales recognition basis. We recognize the revenue ratably over the contract term of the stand ready obligation, generally one to three years.  

On our consolidated balance sheet, a significant portion of our contract liabilities balance relates to OneCall support services agreements for which clients have paid or have been invoiced but for which we have not yet recognized the applicable services revenue.  We also defer incremental direct costs to fulfill our service contracts that we prepay to third parties for direct support of our fulfillment of the service contract to our clients under our contract terms and amortize them into operations over the term of the contracts.  

Third-party Provided Services  

A majority of our third-party sub-contractor services contracts are entered into in conjunction with other services contracts under which the services are performed by Insight teammates.  We have concluded that we control all services under the contract and can direct the third-party sub-contractor to provide the requested services.  As such, we act as the principal in the transaction and record the services under a gross sales recognition basis, with the selling price being recorded in sales and our cost to the third-party service provider being recorded in costs of goods sold.  For certain third-party service contracts in which we are not responsible for fulfillment of the services, we have concluded that we are an agent in the transaction and record revenue on a net sales recognition basis.  

Costs of Goods Sold

Costs of goods sold include product costs, direct costs incurred associated with delivering services, outbound and inbound freight costs and provisions for inventory reserves.  These costs are reduced by provisions for supplier discounts and certain payments and credits received from partners, as described under “Partner Funding” below. 

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses include salaries and wages for teammates who are not directly associated with delivering services, bonuses and incentives, stock-based compensation expense, employee-related expenses, facility-related expenses, marketing and advertising expense, reduced by certain payments and credits received from partners related to shared marketing expense programs, as described under “Partner Funding” below, depreciation of property and equipment,

57

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

professional fees, amortization of intangible assets, provisions for losses on accounts receivable and other operating expenses. 

Partner Funding

We receive payments and credits from partners, including consideration pursuant to volume sales incentive programs, volume purchase incentive programs and shared marketing expense programs.  Partner funding received pursuant to volume sales incentive programs is recognized as it is earned as a reduction to costs of goods sold.  Partner funding received pursuant to volume purchase incentive programs is allocated as a reduction to inventories based on the applicable incentives earned from each partner and is recorded in cost of goods sold as the related inventory is sold.  Partner funding received pursuant to shared marketing expense programs is recorded as it is earned as a reduction of the related selling and administrative expenses in the period the program takes place if the consideration represents a reimbursement of specific, incremental, identifiable costs.  Consideration that exceeds the specific, incremental, identifiable costs is classified as a reduction of costs of goods sold.  The amount of partner funding recorded as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses in our statements of operations totaled $77,668,000, $68,571,000 and $53,227,000 in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  

Concentrations of Risk

Credit Risk

Although we are affected by the international economic climate, management does not believe material credit risk concentration existed at December 31, 2019.  We monitor our clients’ financial condition and do not require collateral.  No single client accounted for more than 3% of our consolidated net sales in 2019.  

Partner Risk

Purchases from Microsoft and Tech Data (a distributor) accounted for approximately 12% each of our aggregate purchases in 2019.  No other partner accounted for more than 10% of purchases in 2019.  Our top five partners as a group for 2019 were Microsoft, Tech Data (a distributor), Cisco Systems, HP Inc. and Dell, and approximately 61% of our total purchases during 2019 came from this group of partners.  Although brand names and individual products are important to our business, we believe that competitive sources of supply are available in substantially all of our product categories such that, with the exception of Microsoft, we are not dependent on any single partner for sourcing products.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred.  Advertising expense of $62,913,000, $57,448,000 and $47,053,000 was recorded in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  These amounts were predominantly offset by partner funding earned pursuant to shared marketing expense programs recorded as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses, as discussed in “Partner Funding” above.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and the corresponding expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward.  Stock-based compensation expense is classified in the same line item of our consolidated statements of operations as other payroll-related expenses specific to the employee.  Compensation expense related to service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.  Compensation expense related to performance-based RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards (i.e., a graded vesting basis).  Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.  

58

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Foreign Currencies

We use the U.S. dollar as our reporting currency.  The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies.  Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates.  Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for each month within the year.  The resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax – foreign currency translation adjustments as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.  Net foreign currency transaction gains/losses, including transaction gains/losses on intercompany balances that are not of a long-term investment nature and non-functional currency cash balances, are reported in other expense (income), net within non-operating (income) expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable earnings in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.

We recognize net deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized.  In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations.  If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

We record uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.  Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within the income tax expense line in our consolidated statements of operations.  Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in our consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies

From time to time, we are subject to potential claims and assessments from third parties.  We are also subject to various government agency, client and partner audits.  We continually assess whether or not such claims have merit and warrant accrual.  An accrual is made if it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.  Such estimates are subject to change and may affect our results of operations and our cash flows.

Net Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year.  Diluted EPS is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.  Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding RSUs.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The new standard is intended to simplify various aspects of accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions and amending certain requirements.  The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted.  We do not expect this new standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-08, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements – Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer.”  The new standard is intended to provide guidance on measuring share-based payment awards granted to a customer.  The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted.  We adopted this new standard in the fourth quarter of 2019.  The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.”  The new standard is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held at each reporting date.  The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted.  We will adopt the new standard as of January 1, 2020 and do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.”  The new standard provides amendments to the reporting of expected recoveries.  The new standard is effective with the adoption of  ASU No. 2016-13.  We will adopt the new standard as of January 1, 2020 and do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.”  The new standard provides changes for how a company considers expected recoveries and contractual extensions or renewal options when estimating expected credit losses.  The new standard is effective with the adoption of  ASU No. 2016-13.  We will adopt the new standard as of

In February 2016 and July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements,” respectively, which amends the existing accounting standards for leases.  We adopted the standards in the first quarter of 2019.  See Note 9 for further discussion.

Remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less are not included in the table above, with the exception of those associated with our OneCall Support Services contracts. OneCall Support Services contracts are included in the table above regardless of original duration. Amounts not included in the table above have an average original expected duration of nine months.  Additionally, for our time and material services contracts, whereby we have the right to consideration from a client in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the client of our performance completed to date, we recognized revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice as of December 31, 2019 and do not disclose information about related remaining performance obligations in the table above.  Our open time and material contracts at December 31, 2019, have an average expected duration of 12 months.

The majority of our backlog historically has been and continues to be open cancelable purchase orders.  We do not believe that backlog as of any particular date is predictive of future results, therefore we do not include performance obligations under open cancelable purchase orders, which do not qualify for revenue recognition as of December 31, 2019, in the table above.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018

The adoption of Topic 606 had no effect on net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities or net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018.  The adjustment to net earnings noted above in reconciling our reported results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 under Topic 606 to pre-Topic 606 adoption was fully offset by adjustments to the reported changes in asset and liability balances, resulting in no effect on operating cash flows.

On August 30, 2019, we acquired PCM, which is being integrated into our North America and EMEA businesses.  Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $248,860,000 was recorded as goodwill in the North America and EMEA reporting units (see Note 20).  The primary driver for this acquisition was to help existing PCM clients in positioning their businesses for future growth, transforming and securing their data platforms, creating modern and mobile experiences for their workforce and optimizing the procurement of technology.  The addition of PCM complements our supply chain optimization solution offering, adding scale and clients in the mid-market and corporate space in North America.

 

On August 1, 2018, we acquired Cardinal, which has been integrated into our North America business. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired of approximately

$36,040,000 , net of a measurement period adjustment of $400,000 recognized in 2019, was recorded as goodwill in the North America reporting unit (see Note 20).  The primary driver for this acquisition was to strengthen our services capabilities and bring value to our clients within our digital innovation services solution offering.

During 2019, we periodically assessed whether any indicators of impairment existed which would require us to perform an interim impairment review.  As of each interim period end during the year, we concluded that a triggering event had not occurred that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying values.  We performed our annual test of goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2019.  The results of the goodwill impairment test indicated that the fair values of our North America, EMEA and APAC reporting units, estimated using the market approach, were in excess of their respective carrying values.

(7)Accounts Payable - Inventory Financing Facilities

We have entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of inventory from various suppliers under certain terms and conditions, as described below.  These amounts are classified separately as accounts payable - inventory financing facilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.    

On July 10, 2019, we entered into an unsecured inventory financing facility with a maximum availability for vendor purchases of $200,000,000 with MUFG Bank Ltd (“MUFG”).  On August 30, 2019, we terminated our existing inventory financing facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) and entered into a new unsecured inventory financing facility with Wells Fargo with an aggregate availability for vendor purchases under the facility of $250,000,000.  As of December 31, 2019, our combined inventory financing facilities had a total maximum capacity of $450,000,000, of which $253,676,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2019.  The facilities remain in effect until they are terminated by any of the parties.  Interest does not accrue on accounts payable under these

65

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

facilities provided the accounts payable are paid within stated vendor terms (typically 60 days); however, we impute interest on the average daily balance outstanding during these stated vendor terms based on our incremental borrowing rate during the period.  Imputed interest of $10,801,000, $10,593,000 and $6,736,000 was recorded in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  If balances are not paid within stated vendor terms, they will accrue interest at prime plus 2.00% or prime plus 1.25% with respect to the MUFG facility and the Wells Fargo facility, respectively.

On August 30, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (the “credit agreement”) providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL facility”), which has an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent maximum borrowing amount of $1,200,000,000, including a maximum borrowing capacity that could be used for borrowing in certain foreign currencies of $150,000,000.  While the ABL facility has a stated maximum amount, the actual availability under the ABL facility is limited by specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and certain eligible inventory, in each case as set forth in the credit agreement.  From time to time and at our option, we may request to increase the aggregate amount available for borrowing under the ABL facility by up to an aggregate of the U.S. dollar equivalent of $500,000,000, subject to customary conditions, including receipt of commitments from lenders.  The ABL facility is guaranteed by certain of our material subsidiaries and is secured by a lien on certain of our assets and certain of each other borrower’s and each guarantor’s assets.  The ABL facility matures on August 30, 2024.  As of December 31, 2019, eligible accounts receivable and inventory were sufficient to permit access to the full $1,200,000,000 facility amount, of which $570,706,000 was outstanding.    

The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the ABL facility are based on the average aggregate excess availability under the ABL facility as set forth on a pricing grid in the credit agreement.  Amounts outstanding under the ABL facility bear interest, payable quarterly, at a floating rate equal to a LIBOR rate plus a pre-determined spread of 1.25% to 1.50%.  The floating interest rate applicable at December 31, 2019 was 2.94% per annum for the ABL facility.  In addition, we pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility of 0.25%, and our letter of credit participation fee ranges from 1.25% to 1.50%.  During 2019, weighted average borrowings under our ABL facility were $634,361,000.  Interest expense associated with the ABL facility was $8,880,000 in 2019, including the commitment fee and amortization of deferred financing fees.

The ABL facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.  If a default occurs (subject to customary grace periods and materiality thresholds) under the credit agreement, certain actions may be taken, including, but not limited to, possible termination of commitments and required payment of all outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest and fees payable under the credit agreement.  

On August 30, 2019, we repaid in full and terminated our then existing senior revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”). The revolving credit facility had an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent maximum borrowing amount of $350,000,000, including a maximum borrowing capacity that could be used for borrowing in certain foreign currencies of $50,000,000.

On August 30, 2019, we repaid in full and terminated our accounts receivable securitization financing facility (the “ABS facility”).  The ABS facility had a maximum aggregate borrowing availability of $250,000,000, subject to limitations based on the quantity and quality of the underlying accounts receivable.

Convertible Senior Notes

 

On August 15, 2019, we issued $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the “notes”) that mature on February 15, 2025.  On August 23, 2019, we issued an additional $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes pursuant to the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of the notes of their option to purchase additional notes.  The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 0.75% payable semiannually, in arrears, on February 15th and August 15th of each year.  The notes are general unsecured obligations of Insight and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Insight Direct USA, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Insight.  

 

Holders of the notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 15, 2024, under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2019 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if we call any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.  On or after June 15, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

 

Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of the two, at our discretion.  The conversion rate will initially be 14.6376 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $68.32 per share of common stock).  The conversion rate is subject to change in certain circumstances and will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.  In addition, following certain events that occur prior to the maturity date or following our issuance of a notice of redemption, the conversion rate is subject to an increase for a holder who elects to convert their notes in connection with those events or during the related redemption period in certain circumstances.

 

If we undergo a fundamental change, the holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.  As of December 31, 2019, none of the criteria for a fundamental change or a conversion rate adjustment had been met.

 

The maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion, including the effect of a fundamental change and subject to other conversion rate adjustments, would be 6,788,208.

 

We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at our option, on or after August 20, 2022 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the notes.  

 

The notes are subject to certain customary events of default and acceleration clauses.  As of December 31, 2019, no such events have occurred.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transaction

 

In connection with the issuance of the notes, we entered into certain convertible note hedge and warrant transactions (the “Call Spread Transactions”) with respect to the Company’s common stock.

 

The convertible note hedge consists of an option to purchase up to 5,123,160 common stock shares at a price of $68.32 per share.  The hedge expires on February 15, 2025 and can only be concurrently executed upon the conversion of the notes.  We paid approximately $66,325,000 for the convertible note hedge transaction.

 

Additionally, we sold warrants to purchase 5,123,160 shares of common stock at a price of $103.12 per share.  The warrants expire on May 15, 2025 and can only be exercised at maturity.  The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $34,440,000 for the sale of the warrants.

 

The Call Spread Transactions have no effect on the terms of the notes and reduce potential dilution by effectively increasing the initial conversion price of the notes to $103.12 per share of the Company’s common stock.

Finance Leases and Other Financing Obligations

 

From time to time, we enter into finance leases and other financing agreements with financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of products from certain vendors.

The current and long-term portions of our finance lease and other financing obligations are included in the current and long-term portions of long-term debt in the table above and in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

(9)Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the FASB ASU No. 2016-02 — “Leases” (Topic 842) using the effective date transition method.  This approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption without restating comparative periods.  We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.  In addition, we made an accounting policy election not to separate non-lease components from lease components for all existing classes of underlying assets with the exception of land and buildings.  We also made an accounting policy election to not record right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less on our consolidated balance sheet.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of net operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities of $65,922,000 and $70,512,000, respectively, as of January 1, 2019.  The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities reflected existing accrued and prepaid rent balances that were reclassified to the operating lease ROU asset at January 1, 2019.  The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.  

We lease office space, distribution centers, land, vehicles and equipment. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  

Certain lease agreements include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Some agreements also include options to purchase the leased property. The estimated life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation.  Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Operating Leases pre-Topic 842 adoption:

We have non-cancelable operating leases with third parties, primarily for administrative and distribution center space and computer equipment.  Our facilities leases generally provide for periodic rent increases and many contain escalation clauses and renewal options.  We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Rental expense for these third-party operating leases was $20,114,000 and $19,126,000 in 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Company Plan

Our Board of Directors adopted the Amended Insight Enterprises, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Plan (the “Plan”) on March 28, 2011.  The Plan was approved by our stockholders on May 18, 2011 at our 2011 annual meeting and, unless sooner terminated, will remain in place until May 18, 2021.

The Plan allows the Company to grant options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units (which may also be referred to as “restricted stock units”), performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other awards payable in cash or shares of common stock to eligible non-employee directors, employees and consultants.  Consultants and independent contractors are eligible if they provide bona fide services that are not related to capital raising or promoting or maintaining a market for the Company’s stock.  

On February 17, 2016, the Board of Directors adopted the First Amendment to the Plan (the “First Amendment”).  On May 18, 2016 at our 2016 annual meeting, our stockholders approved the First Amendment.  The First Amendment: (a) updates the list of performance criteria contained in Section 16.1 of the Plan; (b) imposes a limit on the dollar value of awards that may be granted to any one participant who is a non-employee director during any one calendar year; and (c) adds an objective clawback provision expressly providing that every award granted under the Plan is subject to potential forfeiture or recovery to the fullest extent called for by law, listing standard or Company policy.  The First Amendment did not increase the number of shares available for grant under the Plan or extend the term of the Plan.

The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of Insight’s Board of Directors, and, except as provided below, the Compensation Committee has the exclusive authority to administer the Plan, including the power to determine eligibility, the types of awards to be granted, the price and the timing of awards.  Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee may delegate some of its authority to

our Chief Executive Officer to grant awards to individuals other than individuals who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  As of December 31, 2019, of the 7,250,000 shares of common stock reserved and available for grant under the Plan, 2,567,260 shares of common stock remain available for grant under the Plan.  

Accounting for Restricted Stock Units

We issue RSUs as incentives to certain officers and teammates and as compensation to members of our Board of Directors.  We recognize compensation expense associated with the issuance of such RSUs over the vesting period for each respective RSU.  The total compensation expense associated with RSUs represents the value based upon the number of RSUs awarded multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.  The number of RSUs to be awarded under our service-based RSUs is fixed at the grant date.  The number of RSUs ultimately awarded under our performance-based RSUs varies based on whether the Company achieves certain financial results.  We record compensation expense each period based on our estimate of the most probable number of RSUs that will be issued under the grants of performance-based RSUs.  Recipients of RSUs do not have voting or dividend rights until the vesting conditions are satisfied and shares are released.  

As of December 31, 2019, total compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs not yet recognized is $25,243,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.26 years on a weighted-average basis.

The following table summarizes our RSU activity during 2019:

(a)

The aggregate fair value of vested RSUs represents the total pre-tax fair value, based on the closing stock price on the day of vesting, which would have been received by holders of RSUs had all such holders sold their underlying shares on that date.  The aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs which vested during 2018 and 2017 was $14,302,223 and $20,284,762, respectively.

(b)

The aggregate fair value of the nonvested RSUs and the RSUs expected to vest represents the total pre-tax fair value, based on our closing stock price of $70.29 as of December 31, 2019, which would have been received by holders of RSUs had all such holders sold their underlying shares on that date.  

During each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, the RSUs that vested for teammates in the United States were net-share settled such that we withheld shares with value equivalent to the teammates’ minimum statutory United States tax obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes and remitted the equivalent cash amount to the appropriate taxing authorities.  The total shares withheld during 2019, 2018 and 2017 of 115,831, 88,638 and 122,255, respectively, were based on the value of the RSUs on their vesting dates as determined by our closing stock price on such dates.  For 2019, 2018 and 2017, total payments for our teammates’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities were $6,572,000, $3,230,000 and $5,318,000, respectively, and are reflected as a financing activity within the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.  These net-share settlements had the effect of repurchases of our common stock as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the vesting and did not represent an expense to us.

In December 2017, U.S. federal tax reform was enacted as part of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  As part of the change in tax law, beginning in 2018, the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21%.  This reduction required a remeasurement of our deferred tax balances that resulted in an increase in our 2017 income tax expense.  In addition, the change in tax law included provisions requiring mandatory deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings.  In 2017 and the first nine months of 2018, we recorded provisional amounts for certain tax enactment-date effects of the new law by applying the guidance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 because we had not yet completed our enactment-date accounting for these effects.  In 2017 and 2018, the company recorded tax expense and benefit, respectively, related to the new tax law that included remeasurement of U.S. deferred income taxes, the mandatory deemed repatriation provision and the state tax effects of these items.  The changes to 2017 provisional amounts resulted in a benefit of $5,600,000, which reduced our annual effective tax rate by 2.7% in 2018.  The accounting for the enactment-date income tax effects for the new tax law was completed in 2018.

At December 31, 2017, all undistributed foreign earnings were taxed as part of the deemed repatriation of previously untaxed foreign earnings required by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.   For foreign entities not treated as branches for U.S. tax purposes, we continue to assert

indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings, and accordingly have not accrued any additional income or withholding taxes on the potential repatriation of these earnings.  At the present time, given the various complexities involved in repatriating earnings, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that may be payable if these earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2019, we have a federal net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”) and U.S. state NOLs that will expire between 2020 and 2038.  We also have NOLs from various non-U.S. jurisdictions of $93,090,000.  While the majority of the non-U.S. NOLs have no expiration date, certain of them will expire between 2020 and 2026.  Certain federal and state NOLs relate to pre-acquisition losses from acquired subsidiaries, and accordingly, are subject to annual limitations as to their use under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382 – Limitation on net operating loss carry forwards and certain built-in losses following ownership change.  

On the basis of currently available information, we have provided valuation allowances for certain of our deferred tax assets where we believe it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized.  At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our valuation allowances totaled $38,247,000 and $40,630,000, respectively, representing non-U.S. NOLs, foreign depreciation allowances and foreign tax credits.

We believe it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including income that may be generated as a result of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, together with the tax effects of deferred tax liabilities, will be sufficient to fully recover our remaining deferred tax assets.  In the future, if we determine that realization of the remaining deferred tax assets and the availability of certain previously paid taxes to be refunded are not more likely than not, we will need to increase our valuation allowances and record additional income tax expense.  Changes to our valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were primarily driven by U.S. federal tax reform, specifically related to U.S. mandatory deemed repatriation, foreign currency translation and other adjustments. Various taxing jurisdictions are examining our tax returns for certain tax years.  Although the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these examinations will not result in a material adverse effect to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had approximately $9,736,000 and $6,849,000, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits.  Of these amounts, approximately $442,000 and $313,000,

74

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

respectively, related to accrued interest.  The immaterial changes in the unrecognized tax benefits balance during the year reflect additions for tax positions in prior and current periods, subtractions due to foreign currency translation and subtractions due to audit settlements and statute expirations.  

 

In the future, if recognized, the liability associated with uncertain tax positions would affect our effective tax rate.  We do not believe there will be any changes over the next 12 months that would have a material effect on our effective tax rate.  

Several of our subsidiaries are currently under audit for tax years 2012 through 2018.  Although the timing of the resolutions and/or closures of audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the examination phase of these audits may be concluded within the next 12 months which could significantly increase or decrease the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits.  However, based on the status of the various examinations in multiple jurisdictions, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made at this time, but the estimated effect on our income tax expense and net earnings is not expected to be significant.

We, including our subsidiaries, file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and many state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions.  In the U.S., federal income tax returns for 2016, 2017 and 2018 remain open to examination.  For U.S. state and local taxes as well as in non-U.S. jurisdictions, the statute of limitations generally varies between three and ten years.  However, to the extent allowable by law, the tax authorities may have a right to examine and make adjustment to prior periods when amended returns have been filed, or when net operating losses or tax credits were generated and carried forward for subsequent utilization.

Market Risk Management

Interest Rate Risk

We have interest rate exposure arising from our financing facilities, which have variable interest rates.  These variable interest rates are affected by changes in short-term interest rates.  We currently do not hedge our interest rate exposure.

We do not believe that the effect of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates will be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  Our financing facilities expose our net earnings to changes in short-term interest rates since interest rates on the underlying obligations are variable.  We had $570,706,000 outstanding under our ABL facility and $284,836,000 outstanding under our senior convertible notes at December 31, 2019.  The interest rate attributable to the borrowings under our ABL facility and our senior convertible notes was 2.94% and 0.75%, respectively, per annum at December 31, 2019.  The change in annual pre-tax earnings from operations resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the applicable interest rate would have been immaterial.

Although our senior convertible notes are based on a fixed rate, changes in interest rates could impact the fair market value of such notes.  As of December 31, 2019, the fair market value of our convertible senior notes was $414,295,000.   

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have foreign currency exchange risk related to the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ operating results, assets and liabilities (see Note 1 for a description of our Foreign Currencies policy).  We also maintain cash accounts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, which expose us to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  Remeasurement of these cash balances results in gains/losses that are also reported in other expense (income), net within non-operating (income) expense.  We monitor our foreign currency exposure and selectively enter into forward exchange contracts to mitigate risk associated with certain non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities related to foreign denominated payables, receivables and cash balances.  Transaction gains and losses resulting from non-functional currency assets and liabilities are offset by gains and losses on forward contracts in non-operating (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations.  The counterparties associated with our foreign exchange forward contracts are large creditworthy commercial banks.  The derivatives transacted with these institutions are short in duration and, therefore, we do not consider counterparty concentration and non-performance to be

75

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

material risks.  The Company does not have a significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty.

(13)

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are determined based on the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

As of December 31, 2019, we have no non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and our other financial assets or liabilities generally consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and long-term debt.  The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents approximate their carrying values and are determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.  The estimated fair values of our long-term debt balances approximate their carrying values based on their variable interest rate terms that are based on current market interest rates for similar debt instruments.  The fair values of the other financial assets and liabilities are based on the values that would be received or paid in an orderly transaction between market participants and approximate their carrying values due to their nature and short duration.

(14)

Benefit Plans

We adopted a defined contribution benefit plan (the “Defined Contribution Plan”) for our U.S. teammates which complies with section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company provides a discretionary match to all participants who make 401(k) contributions pursuant to the Defined Contribution Plan.  The discretionary match provided to participants is equivalent to 50% of a participant’s pre-tax contributions up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation per pay period.  Additionally, we offer several defined contribution benefit plans to our teammates outside of the United States.  These plans and their related terms vary by country.  Total consolidated contribution expense under these plans was $19,126,000, $15,216,000 and $14,083,000 for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(15)

Share Repurchase Programs

In February 2018, our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase programs of $50,000,000.  No share repurchase program was authorized in 2019 or 2017.  The following table summarizes the shares of our common stock that we repurchased on the open market under these repurchase programs during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in thousands, except per share amounts:

Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual

In the ordinary course of business, we issue performance bonds to secure our performance under certain contracts or state tax requirements. These bonds are issued on our behalf by a surety company on an unsecured basis; however, if the surety company is ever required to pay out under the bonds, we have contractually agreed to reimburse the surety company.

76

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Management believes that payments, if any, related to these performance bonds are not probable at December 31, 2019.  Accordingly, we have not accrued any liabilities related to such performance bonds in our consolidated financial statements.

Employment Contracts and Severance Plans

We have employment contracts with, and plans covering, certain officers and management teammates under which severance payments would become payable in the event of specified terminations without cause or terminations under certain circumstances after a change in control.  In addition, vesting of outstanding nonvested RSUs would accelerate following a change in control.  If severance payments under the current employment agreements or plan payments were to become payable, the severance payments would generally range from three to twenty-four months of salary.

Indemnifications

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to indemnify either our clients or third-party service providers from certain losses incurred relating to services performed on our behalf or for losses arising from defined events, which may include litigation or claims relating to past performance. These arrangements include, but are not limited to, the indemnification of our clients for certain claims arising out of our performance under our sales contracts, the indemnification of our landlords for certain claims arising from our use of leased facilities and the indemnification of the lenders that provide our credit facilities for certain claims arising from their extension of credit to us.  Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses.

Management believes that payments, if any, related to these indemnifications are not probable at December 31, 2019.  Accordingly, we have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnifications in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and with each of our directors.  These agreements require us, among other requirements, to indemnify such officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments and settlements incurred by such individual in connection with any action arising out of such individual’s status or service as our executive officer or director (subject to exceptions such as where the individual failed to act in good faith or in a manner the individual reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company) and to advance expenses incurred by such individual with respect to which such individual may be entitled to indemnification by us.  There are no pending legal proceedings that involve the indemnification of any of the Company’s directors or officers.

Contingencies Related to Third-Party Review

From time to time, we are subject to potential claims and assessments from third parties.  We are also subject to various governmental, client and partner audits.  We continually assess whether or not such claims have merit and warrant accrual.  Where appropriate, we accrue estimates of anticipated liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.  Such estimates are subject to change and may affect our results of operations and our cash flows.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings incidental to the business, including preference payment claims asserted in client bankruptcy proceedings, indemnification claims, claims of alleged infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, employment claims, claims of alleged non-compliance with contract provisions and claims related to alleged violations of laws and regulations.  We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate.  If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made.  Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, we believe that we have adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses.  It is possible, nevertheless, that our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the work required pursuant to any legal proceedings or the resolution of any legal proceedings during such period.  Legal expenses related to

77

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

defense of any legal proceeding or the negotiations, settlements, rulings and advice of outside legal counsel in connection with any legal proceedings are expensed as incurred.

In connection with the acquisition of PCM, the Company has effectively assumed responsibility for PCM litigation matters, including various disputes related to PCM’s acquisition of certain assets of En Pointe Technologies in 2015.  The seller of En Pointe Technologies and related entities providing various post-closing support functions to PCM have asserted claims regarding the sufficiency of earnout payments paid by PCM under the asset purchase agreement and the unwinding of the support functions post-closing.  PCM has rejected and vigorously responded to those claims and is pursuing various counterclaims.  The disputes are being heard by multiple courts and arbitrators in several different jurisdictions including California, Delaware and Pakistan.  The Company cannot determine with certainty the costs or outcome of these matters.  However, the Company is not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings, including the PCM litigation matters, that it believes would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

The method for determining what information regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation and major clients to report is based upon the “management approach,” or the way that management organizes the operating segments within a company, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources.  Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.

All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation, and there are no differences between the accounting policies used to measure profit and loss for our segments or on a consolidated basis.  Net sales are defined as net sales to external clients.  None of our clients exceeded ten percent of consolidated net sales in 2019, 2018 or 2017.

A portion of our operating segments’ selling and administrative expenses arise from shared services and infrastructure that we have historically provided to them in order to realize economies of scale and to use resources efficiently.  These expenses, collectively identified as corporate charges, include senior management expenses, internal audit, legal, tax, insurance services, treasury and other corporate infrastructure expenses.  Charges are allocated to our operating segments, and the allocations have been determined on a basis that we considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or benefits received by the operating segments.

Acquisitions

PCM

Effective August 30,2019, we acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of PCM for a cash purchase price of $745,562,000, which included cash and cash equivalents acquired of $84,637,000 and the payment of PCM’s outstanding debt.  PCM is a provider of multi-vendor technology offerings, including hardware, software and services to small, mid-sized and corporate/enterprise commercial clients, state, local and federal governments and educational institutions across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.  Based in El Segundo, California, PCM has 40 office locations in North America and the United Kingdom and more than 4,000 teammates.  We believe that this acquisition allows us to help existing PCM clients in positioning their businesses for future growth, transforming and securing their data platforms, creating modern and mobile experiences for their workforce and optimizing the procurement of technology.  The addition of PCM complements our supply chain optimization solution offering, adding scale and clients in the mid-market and corporate space primarily in North America.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price as shown in the table above was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.  The excess of the purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.  In the fourth quarter of 2019, an adjustment of $56,700,000 was recorded to goodwill primarily due to a change in the customer relationships valuation based on updated information received for key inputs as well as an associated change in deferred taxes.

The estimated fair values of current assets and liabilities are based upon their historical costs on the date of acquisition due to their short-term nature.  The estimated fair values of the majority of property and equipment excluding acquired real estate are also based upon historical costs as they approximate fair value.  Certain long-term assets, including PCM’s IT systems, have been written down to the estimated fair value.  

The preliminary estimated fair value of net assets acquired was approximately $412,065,000, including $187,990,000 of identifiable intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer relationships of $175,500,000.  The fair value of the customer relationships were determined using the multiple-period excess earnings method.

The identifiable intangibles resulting from the acquisition are amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Intangible Assets

 

Estimated Economic Life

Customer relationships

 

10 - 12 Years

Trade name

 

1 Year

Non-compete agreements

 

1 - 3 Years

Acquisition-related expenses recognized for the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2019 was $11,342,000.

Goodwill of $248,860,000, which was recorded in our North America and EMEA operating segments, represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from PCM.  The goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.  The addition of the PCM technical employees to our team and the opportunity to grow our business are the primary factors making up the goodwill recognized as part of the transaction.  None of the goodwill is tax deductible.  

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and was allocated using information currently available.  Further information related to legal accruals, taxes and other statutory assessments may lead to an adjustment of the purchase price allocation.  

We have consolidated the results of operations for PCM since its acquisition on August 30, 2019.  Consolidated net sales and gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2019 include $733,774,000 and $105,961,000, respectively, from PCM.

Cardinal

Effective August 1, 2018, we acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Cardinal, a digital solutions provider based in Cincinnati, Ohio, with offices across the Midwest and Southeast United States, for a cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, of approximately $78,400,000, including final working capital and tax gross up adjustments of $3,400,000.  Cardinal provides technology solutions to digitally transform organizations through their expertise in mobile applications development, Internet of Things and cloud enabled business intelligence.  We believe that this acquisition strengthens our services capabilities and will bring value to our clients within our digital innovation services solution offering.

The fair value of net assets acquired was approximately $42,360,000, including $27,540,000 of identifiable intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer relationships that will be amortized using the straight line method over the estimated economic life of ten years.  The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the multiple-period excess earnings method. The preliminary purchase price was allocated using the acquisition method of accounting using the information available at the time.  During the fourth quarter of 2018, we finalized the fair value assumptions for identifiable intangible assets with no changes being made to amounts previously recorded.  Goodwill acquired approximated $36,040,000 which was recorded in our North America operating segment.  The goodwill is tax deductible.  The working capital adjustment was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2018 and paid in January 2019.  Additionally, we finalized the purchase price allocation when the tax gross up adjustment was agreed upon in April 2019.  This resulted in a reduction of the previously recorded purchase price in the second quarter of 2019.

We consolidated the results of operations for Cardinal within our North America operating segment beginning on August 1, 2018, the effective date of the acquisition.  Our historical results would not have been materially affected by the acquisition of Cardinal and, accordingly, we have not presented pro forma information as if the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of each period presented in our statement of operations.  

Datalink

Effective January 6, 2017, we acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Datalink, a leading provider of IT services and enterprise data center solutions based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, for a cash purchase price of $257,456,000, which included cash and cash equivalents acquired of $76,597,000.  We believe that this acquisition strengthened our position as a leading IT solutions provider with deep technical talent delivering data center solutions to clients on premise or in the cloud.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price as shown in the table above was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.  The excess of the purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.  

The estimated fair values of current assets and liabilities (other than deferred revenue and related deferred costs) were based upon their historical costs on the date of acquisition due to their short-term nature.  The majority of property and equipment were also estimated based upon historical costs as they approximated fair value.  Certain long-term assets, including Datalink’s IT system, were written down to the estimated fair value based on the economic benefit expected to be realized from the assets following the acquisition.  Deferred revenue acquired primarily represents monies collected prior to January 6, 2017 related to unearned revenues associated with support services to be performed in the future.  The estimated fair value of deferred revenue of $65,500,000, which is included in current and long-term liabilities in the table above, was calculated using the adjusted fulfillment cost method as the present value of the costs expected to be incurred by a third party to perform the support services obligations acquired under various customer contracts, plus a reasonable profit associated with the performance effort.  The deferred costs acquired represent monies paid prior to January 6, 2017 to purchase third party customer support contracts from manufacturers.  The estimated fair value of the deferred costs of $48,029,000, which is included in current and other assets in the table above, was calculated in conjunction with the valuation of deferred revenue discussed above.  

Identified intangible assets of $94,500,000 consist primarily of customer relationships, the trade name and non-compete agreements, which were valued at $92,200,000, $2,200,000 and $100,000, respectively.  These values were determined using the multiple-period excess earnings method, the relief from royalty method and the lost income method, respectively.  

The identifiable intangibles resulting from the acquisition are amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Intangible Assets

 

Estimated Economic Life

Customer relationships

 

10 Years

Trade name

 

1 Year

Non-compete agreements

Amortization expense recognized for the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2017 was $11,520,000.

Goodwill of $64,140,000, which was recorded in our North America operating segment, represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Datalink.  The addition of the Datalink technical employees to our team and the opportunity to grow our data center solutions business are the primary factors making up the goodwill recognized as part of the transaction.  None of the goodwill is tax deductible.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

The preliminary purchase price was allocated using information available at the time.  During the second quarter of 2017, upon analysis of additional information affecting our estimate of the fair value of net assets acquired, we adjusted the purchase price allocation and reduced the goodwill balance by $945,000.  During the remainder of 2017, no further adjustments to the purchase price allocation were made, and the purchase price allocation was finalized.    

We consolidated the results of operations for Datalink since its acquisition on January 6, 2017.  Consolidated net sales and gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2017 include $524,281,000 and $118,917,000, respectively, from Datalink.  The following table reports pro forma information as if the acquisition of Datalink had been completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

(a)   Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).  Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the criteria established in COSO’s Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).  We completed the acquisition of PCM on August 30, 2019.  As permitted under SEC guidance, management’s assessment as of December 31, 2019 did not include an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of PCM, which constituted approximately 17.8% of total assets as of December 31, 2019 and 9.5% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2019.

KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.

(b)   Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as described below, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As noted above, on August 30, 2019 we completed the acquisition of PCM.  We are currently integrating PCM into our control environment.  In executing this integration, we are analyzing, evaluating, and where necessary, making changes in controls and procedures related to the PCM business, which is expected to be completed in the year ended December 31, 2020.    

(c)   Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and determined that as of December 31, 2019 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  We completed the acquisition of PCM on August 30, 2019. As permitted under SEC guidance, management’s assessment as of December 31, 2019 did not include an assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures of PCM, which constituted approximately 17.8% of total assets as of December 31, 2019 and 9.5% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2019.  

(d)   Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
