  2022 and 2023: Albert J. Miralles; Sona Chawla; Christina M. Corley; and Frederick J. Kulevich.

Peer Group Issuers, Footnote [Text Block]
(5) The TSR Peer Group consists of the following peer companies included in our 2024 compensation peer group: Accenture plc; Arrow Electronics, Inc.; Avnet, Inc.; Best Buy Co., Inc.; CGI Group Inc.; Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation; DXC Technology Corporation; Flex Ltd.; Genuine Parts Company; Henry Schein, Inc.; Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company; Insight Enterprises, Inc.; Jabil Inc.; LKQ Corporation; TD SYNNEX Corporation; W.W. Grainger, Inc.; and WESCO International, Inc. For 2024, we have updated the peer group used for purposes of this Pay Versus Performance disclosure from the S&P 500 IT Index used in prior years as we believe the compensation peer group better reflects how the Compensation Committee assesses performance when evaluating compensation decisions. If we had continued using the S&P 500 IT Index as the benchmarking peer group, the cumulative peer group TSR, assuming $100 invested in such peer group including reinvestment of dividends, would have been $142.21 for 2020, $189.64 for 2021, $134.82 for 2022, $210.85 for 2023 and $286.10 for 2024.
       
Changed Peer Group, Footnote [Text Block] For 2024, we have updated the peer group used for purposes of this Pay Versus Performance disclosure from the S&P 500 IT Index used in prior years as we believe the compensation peer group better reflects how the Compensation Committee assesses performance when evaluating compensation decisions. If we had continued using the S&P 500 IT Index as the benchmarking peer group, the cumulative peer group TSR, assuming $100 invested in such peer group including reinvestment of dividends, would have been $142.21 for 2020, $189.64 for 2021, $134.82 for 2022, $210.85 for 2023 and $286.10 for 2024.

Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote [Text Block]
(2) Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the SCT for the applicable year in the case of Ms. Leahy and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the SCT for the applicable year for our other NEOs reported for the applicable year other than Ms. Leahy.
(3) To calculate CAP, adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the SCT for the applicable year. The primary difference between the calculation of SCT total compensation and CAP relates to the calculation of stock and option awards:

 

SCT CALCULATION IS BASED ON:       CAP CALCULATION IS BASED ON:
Grant date fair value of stock and option awards granted during the year   Year over year change in the fair value of stock and option awards that are unvested as of the end of the year, or vested or were forfeited during the year

 

A reconciliation of the adjustments for Ms. Leahy and for the average of the other NEOs is set forth in the table below.

(f) Represents the change in fair value, measured from the prior fiscal year-end to the vesting date, of each option award and stock award that was granted in a prior fiscal year and which vested during the indicated fiscal year, calculated in accordance with the methodology used for financial reporting purposes, including the value associated with the accrual of any dividend equivalent rights.

Award Timing MNPI Disclosure [Text Block] The Compensation Committee and senior management monitor the Company’s equity grant practices to evaluate whether such policies comply with governing regulations and are consistent with good corporate practices. When making regular annual equity grants, the Compensation Committee’s practice is to approve them at its meeting in the first quarter of each year as part of the annual compensation review and after results for the preceding fiscal year become available. Because the Compensation Committee’s regular meeting schedule is determined in the prior fiscal year or earlier, the proximity of any awards to other significant corporate events is coincidental. ln addition, the Compensation Committee may make grants at any time during the year it deems appropriate, including with respect to new hires or transitions. The Company does not schedule its equity grants in anticipation of the release of material non-public information (“MNPI”) nor does the Company time the release of MNPI based on equity grant dates.

Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block]
(6) The Company determined that adjusted EPS is the most important financial performance measure used to link CAP to Company performance given it impacts the vesting of 50% of the PSUs and also encompasses non-GAAP operating income performance, the primary financial measure under our SMIP. In addition, we believe that over the long-term, our earnings per share is the most significant driver of CDW’s stock price performance, which impacts the value of equity awards granted to the NEOs, the largest component of our executive compensation program. Adjusted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income plus/minus extraordinary, non-recurring items divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis. For purposes of determining adjusted EPS, non-GAAP net income is defined as net income, adjusted for the items set forth in the Company’s earnings releases which may include, among other items, amortization of intangibles, non-cash equity-based compensation and associated taxes, losses or gains from the extinguishment of debt and acquisition and integration expenses. The amount reported for each reporting year in this table represents the adjusted EPS, as calculated for the first year of the PSU performance cycle that commenced in the applicable reporting year.
