            Arrow Electronics Increases Fourth Quarter EPS Guidance

     MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2007--Arrow Electronics, Inc.
(NYSE:ARW) announced that it has raised its financial guidance for the quarter
ending December 31, 2007.

     Based upon preliminary data, the company expects revenue to be between
$4.25 and $4.45 billion with earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding
any charges but including an estimate for amortization of intangible assets of
$.02 to $.03, to be in the range of $.92 to $.97, an increase of 28 percent to
35 percent from last year's fourth quarter.

     The company stated previously that it anticipated sales to be between $4.15
and $4.45 billion with earnings per share, on a diluted basis, in the range of
$.90 to $.95 for the quarter ending December 31, 2007.

     The company has learned that certain quarter-to-date sales data had been
selectively disclosed by an employee and, accordingly, made the determination
that the most prudent course of action under these unusual circumstances was to
publicly update its guidance for the quarter ending December 31, 2007.
