ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Note A – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "company") were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at and for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the third quarter of 2012, the company prospectively revised its presentation of sales related to certain fulfillment contracts to present these revenues on an agency basis as net fees, as compared to presenting gross sales and costs of sales in prior periods. This revised presentation had no impact on the company's consolidated balance sheet or statement of cash flows. Within the company's consolidated statement of operations, gross profit dollars, operating income dollars, net income dollars, and earnings per share were also not impacted for any periods reported. Prior to this prospective revision, these contracts approximated three percent of the company's sales for the first quarter of 2012. Management has concluded that the impact of this revised presentation is not material and, therefore, prior periods have not been adjusted.
Quarter End
The company operates on a quarterly reporting calendar that closes on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Note B – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity" ("ASU No. 2013-05"). ASU No. 2013-05 requires an entity that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU No. 2013-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU No. 2013-04"). ASU No. 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, ASU No. 2013-04 requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligations. ASU No. 2013-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.
Note C – Acquisitions
The company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of acquisitions are included in the company's consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. The company allocates the purchase price
7

ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)
of each acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. In certain circumstances, a portion of purchase price may be contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired and contingent consideration were determined primarily by using an income approach which was based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements by authoritative guidance (see Note H). The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill. Any change in the estimated fair value of the net assets prior to the finalization of the allocation for acquisitions could change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. The company is not aware of any information that indicates the final purchase price allocations will differ materially from the preliminary estimates.
2013 Acquisition
During the first quarter of 2013, the company completed one acquisition. The aggregate consideration for this acquisition was $9,952 and included $570 of contingent consideration. The impact of this acquisition was not material to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The pro forma impact of the 2013 acquisition on the consolidated results of operations of the company for the first quarter s of 2013 and 2012 as though this acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012 was also not material.
2012 Acquisitions
During 2012, the company completed seven acquisitions. The aggregate consideration for these seven acquisitions was $289,782, net of cash acquired and included $10,390 of contingent consideration. The impact of these acquisitions were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The pro forma impact of the 2012 acquisitions on the consolidated results of operations of the company for the first quarter of 2012 as though these acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2012 was also not material.
Other
During the first quarter of 2012, the company made a payment of $2,526 to increase its ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary. The payment was recorded as a reduction to capital in excess of par value, partially offset by the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest.
Note D – Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Companies Acquired and Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The company tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist.
Cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired, allocated to the company's business segments, is as follows:

|  | Global Components |  | Global ECS |  | Total
Balance as of December 31, 2012 (a) |  | $ | 957,916 |  |  | $ | 753,787 |  |  | $ | 1,711,703 |
Acquisitions |  | 6,789 |  |  | — |  |  | 6,789 |
Foreign currency translation |  | (4,898 | ) |  | (9,353 | ) |  | (14,251 | )
Balance as of March 30, 2013 (a) |  | $ | 959,807 |  |  | $ | 744,434 |  |  | $ | 1,704,241 |

(a) | The total carrying value of cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired for all periods in the table above is reflected net of $1,018,780 of accumulated impairment charges, of which $716,925 was recorded in the global components business segment and $301,855 was recorded in the global ECS business segment.

In February 2013, the company completed the sale of $300,000 principal amount of 3.00% notes due in 2018 and $300,000 principal amount of 4.50% notes due in 2023. The net proceeds of the offering of $591,156 were used to refinance the company's 6.875% senior notes due July 2013 and for general corporate purposes.
In March 2013, the company redeemed $332,107 principal amount of its 6.875% senior notes due July 2013. The related loss on the redemption for the first quarter of 2013 aggregated $4,277 ($2,627 net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt.
The company has a $1,200,000 revolving credit facility, maturing in August 2016. This facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term indebtedness and acquisitions, and as support for the company's commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a euro currency rate plus a spread based on the company's credit ratings (1.275% at March 30, 2013), or an effective interest rate of 1.47% at March 30, 2013. The facility fee is .225%. The company had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $57,900 and $123,600 at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The company has a $775,000 asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its United States subsidiaries, maturing in December 2014. The asset securitization program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation ("AFC"), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The asset securitization program does not qualify for sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company's consolidated balance sheets. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread, which is based on the company's credit ratings (.40% at March 30, 2013), or an effective interest rate of .71% at March 30, 2013. The facility fee is .40%.
At March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the company had $335,000 and $225,000, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program, which was included in "Long-term debt" in the company's consolidated balance sheets, and total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $1,432,767 and $1,610,946, respectively, were held by AFC and were included in "Accounts receivable, net" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. Any accounts receivable held by AFC would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings before repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program.
Both the revolving credit facility and asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings, limit the company's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock, and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 30, 2013 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.
Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $571 and $585 for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Note H – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 | Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The following table presents assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 30, 2013:

|  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total

Derivative Instruments
The company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, for purposes other than trading. Certain derivative instruments are designated at inception as hedges and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked-to-market each reporting period with any unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps
The company occasionally enters into interest rate swap transactions that convert certain fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt or variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt in order to manage its targeted mix of fixed- and floating-rate debt. The company uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps on a quarterly basis. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges is recorded as a change to the carrying value of the related hedged debt, and the effective portion of the change in fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in "Other." The ineffective portion of the interest rate swap, if any, is recorded in "Interest and other financing expense, net" in the company's consolidated statements of operations.
In September 2011, the company entered into a ten-year forward-starting interest rate swap (the "2011 swap") which locked in a treasury rate of 2.63% on an aggregate notional amount of $175,000. This swap managed the risk associated with changes in treasury rates and the impact of future interest payments. The 2011 swap related to the interest payments for anticipated debt issuances to replace the company's 6.875% senior notes due to mature in July 2013. The 2011 swap was classified as a cash flow hedge and had a negative fair value of $10,832 at December 31, 2012. In February 2013, the company paid $7,700 to terminate the 2011 swap upon issuance of the ten-year notes due in 2023. The fair value of the 2011 swap is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in "Other" and will be reclassified into income over the ten-year term of the notes due in 2023.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The company enters into foreign exchange forward, option, or swap contracts (collectively, the "foreign exchange contracts") to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are executed to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures resulting from inventory purchases and sales and generally have terms of no more than six months. Gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized when the underlying future purchase or sale is recognized or when the corresponding asset or liability is revalued. The company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. The
15

(Unaudited)
risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts are estimated using market quotes. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $437,868 and $425,053, respectively.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with the 2013 acquisition, payment of a portion of the respective purchase price is contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results, with a maximum possible payout of $5,400 which would be due at the end of a three-year period. Additionally, in connection with one of the 2012 acquisitions, payment of a portion of the respective purchase price is contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results, with a maximum possible payout of $18,000 over a three-year period. The company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using the weighted probabilities of the possible payments. The company reassesses the fair value of the contingent consideration on a quarterly basis. Contingent consideration of $1,294 and $806 was included in "Other liabilities" in the company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. A twenty percent increase or decrease in projected operating performance over the remaining performance period would not result in a material change in the fair value of the contingent consideration recorded as of March 30, 2013.
Other
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.
Note I – Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

Note M – Contingencies
Environmental Matters
In connection with the purchase of Wyle Electronics ("Wyle") in August 2000, the company acquired certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle, including Wyle's indemnification obligations to the purchasers of its Wyle Laboratories division for environmental clean-up costs associated with any then existing contamination or violation of environmental regulations. Under the terms of the company's purchase of Wyle from the sellers, the sellers agreed to indemnify the company for certain costs associated with the Wyle environmental obligations, among other things. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the company entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers pursuant to which the sellers paid $110,000 and the company released the sellers from their indemnification obligation. As part of the settlement agreement the company accepted responsibility for any potential subsequent costs incurred related to the Wyle matters. The company is aware of two Wyle Laboratories facilities (in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California) at which contaminated groundwater was identified and will require environmental remediation. In addition, the company was named as a defendant in several lawsuits related to the Norco facility and a third site in El Segundo, California which have now been settled to the satisfaction of the parties.
The company expects these environmental liabilities to be resolved over an extended period of time. Costs are recorded for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing and extent of remediation, improvements in remediation technologies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Accordingly the company cannot presently fully estimate the ultimate potential costs related to these sites until such time as a substantial portion of the investigation at the sites is completed and remedial action plans are developed and, in some instances implemented. To the extent that future environmental costs exceed amounts currently accrued by the company, net income would be adversely impacted and such impact could be material.
Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in "Accrued expenses" and "Other liabilities" in the company's consolidated balance sheets.
As successor-in-interest to Wyle, the company is the beneficiary of various Wyle insurance policies that covered liabilities arising out of operations at Norco and Huntsville. To date, the company has recovered approximately $33,000 from certain insurance carriers. The company has sued certain other umbrella liability policy carriers because they have yet to make payment on claims filed by the company. These disputes generally relate to the umbrella liability policy carriers' proportional share of the total liability as opposed to the applicability of coverage. The resolution of these matters could likely take several years. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries related to the Norco and Huntsville environmental matters, as the realization of the claims for recovery are not deemed probable due to the on-going litigation.

The company believes the settlement amount together with potential recoveries from various insurance policies covering environmental remediation and related litigation will be sufficient to cover any potential future costs related to the Wyle acquisition; however, it is possible unexpected costs beyond those anticipated could occur.
Environmental Matters - Huntsville
Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater continues at the site in Huntsville, Alabama. Under the direction of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, approximately $4,000 was spent to date. The pace of the ongoing remedial investigations, project management and regulatory oversight is likely to increase somewhat and though the complete scope of the activities is not yet known, the company currently estimates additional investigative and related expenditures at the site of approximately $500 to $750. The nature and scope of both feasibility studies and subsequent remediation at the site has not yet been determined, but assuming the outcome includes source control and certain other measures, the cost is estimated to be between $3,000 and $4,000.
Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.
Environmental Matters - Norco
In October 2003, the company entered into a consent decree with Wyle Laboratories and the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (the "DTSC") in connection with the Norco site. In April 2005, a Remedial Investigation Work Plan was approved by DTSC that provided for site-wide characterization of known and potential environmental issues. Investigations performed in connection with this work plan and a series of subsequent technical memoranda continued until the filing of a final Remedial Investigation Report early in 2008. The approval of a final Remedial Action Work Plan is ongoing. Approximately $32,000 was expended to date on project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities. The company currently estimates that the additional cost of project management and regulatory oversight to be $200. Project management and regulatory oversight include costs incurred by Wyle Laboratories and project consultants for project management and costs billed by DTSC to provide regulatory oversight. Ongoing remedial investigations (including costs related to soil and groundwater investigations), and the preparation of a final remedial investigation report are projected to cost $200.
Work is under way pertaining to the remediation of contaminated groundwater at certain areas on the Norco site and of soil gas in a limited area immediately adjacent to the site. In 2008, a hydraulic containment system was installed to capture and treat groundwater before it moves into the adjacent offsite area. Approximately $12,000 was expended on remediation to date, and it is anticipated that these activities, along with the initial phases of the treatment of contaminated groundwater in the offsite area and remaining Remedial Action Work Plan costs, will give rise to an additional estimated $17,200 to $23,700.
Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work under the consent decree is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.
Tekelec Matter
In 2000, the company purchased Tekelec Europe SA ("Tekelec") from Tekelec Airtronic SA and certain other selling shareholders. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, Tekelec received a product liability claim in the amount of €11,333. The product liability claim was the subject of a French legal proceeding started by the claimant in 2002, under which separate determinations were made as to whether the products that are subject to the claim were defective and the amount of damages sustained by the purchaser. The manufacturer of the products also participated in this proceeding. The claimant commenced legal proceedings against Tekelec and its insurers to recover damages in the amount of €3,742 and expenses of €312 plus interest. In May 2012, the French court ruled in favor of Tekelec and dismissed the plaintiff's claims. However, that decision has been appealed by the plaintiff. The company believes that any amount in addition to the amount accrued by the company would not materially adversely impact the company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Other
From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will materially impact the company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "company") is a global provider of products, services, and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions. The company provides one of the broadest product offerings in the electronic components and enterprise computing solutions distribution industries and a wide range of value-added services to help customers introduce innovative products, reduce their time to market, and enhance their overall competitiveness. The company has two business segments, the global components business segment and the global enterprise computing solutions ("ECS") business segment. The company distributes electronic components to original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers through its global components business segment and provides enterprise computing solutions to value-added resellers through its global ECS business segment. For the first quarter of 2013, approximately 66% of the company's sales were from the global components business segment, and approximately 34% of the company's sales were from the global ECS business segment.
The company's financial objectives are to grow sales faster than the market, increase the markets served, grow profits faster than sales, and increase return on invested capital. To achieve its objectives, the company seeks to capture significant opportunities to grow across products, markets, and geographies. To supplement its organic growth strategy, the company continually evaluates strategic acquisitions to broaden its product and value-added service offerings, increase its market penetration, and/or expand its geographic reach.
During the first quarter of 2013, the company completed one acquisition. During 2012, the company completed seven acquisitions. The impact of these acquisitions were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
During the third quarter of 2012, the company prospectively revised its presentation of sales related to certain fulfillment contracts to present these revenues on an agency basis as net fees, as compared to presenting gross sales and costs of sales in prior periods. On a gross basis, these contracts contributed approximately $131.5 million to the company's sales in the first quarter of 2012, which negatively impacted the year-over-year consolidated sales growth comparison by approximately 2.7%. This revised presentation had no impact on the company's consolidated balance sheet or statement of cash flows. Within the company's consolidated statement of operations, this revised presentation had no impact on gross profit dollars, operating income dollars, net income dollars, or earnings per share for any periods reported, but positively impacted the gross profit margin and operating income margin by approximately 40 and 10 basis points, respectively, in the first quarter of 2013. Additionally, returns on capital, which are key metrics used to evaluate the company's performance, were also not impacted by this prospective revision.
Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

• | Income or expense items as adjusted for the impact of foreign currency, and

• | Sales adjusted for certain items that impact the year-over-year comparison, which includes the aforementioned change in presentation of sales related to certain fulfillment contracts to present these revenues on an agency basis as net fees (referred to as "change in presentation of sales"), and the impact of acquisitions by adjusting the company's prior periods to include the sales of businesses acquired as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented (referred to as "impact of acquisitions").

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand the company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.
Executive Summary
Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2013 decreased by .8%, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a 4.7% decrease in the global components business segment sales, offset, in part, by a 7.6% increase in the global ECS business segment sales. The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in consolidated sales of .2% for the first quarter of 2013, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a weaker U.S. dollar.
23

Net income attributable to shareholders decreased to $77.9 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $113.6 million in the year-earlier period. The following items impacted the comparability of the company's results for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012:

• | restructuring, integration, and other charges of $21.6 million ($15.5 million net of related taxes) in 2013 and $8.2 million ($6.1 million net of related taxes) in 2012; and

• | a loss on prepayment of debt of $4.3 million ($2.6 million net of related taxes) in 2013.

Excluding the aforementioned items, the decrease in net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2013 was primarily the result of a decrease in sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit. Additionally, gross profit margins were negatively impacted principally due to increased competitive pricing pressure in both the company's business segments, and to a lesser extent, a change in mix of products. These decreases were offset, in part, by a reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses due to the company's efforts to streamline and simplify processes and to reduce expenses in response to the decline in sales.
Substantially all of the company's sales are made on an order-by-order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts. As such, the nature of the company's business does not provide for the visibility of material forward-looking information from its customers and suppliers beyond a few months.
Sales
Following is an analysis of net sales by reportable segment (in millions):

|  | Quarter Ended |  |
|  | March 30, 2013 |  | March 31, 2012 |  | % Change
Consolidated sales, as reported |  | $ | 4,850 |  |  | $ | 4,890 |  |  | (.8 | )%
Impact of foreign currency |  | — |  |  | 9 |  |  |
Impact of acquisitions |  | 3 |  |  | 127 |  |  |
Change in presentation of sales |  | — |  |  | (131 | ) |  |
Consolidated sales, as adjusted |  | $ | 4,853 |  |  | $ | 4,895 |  |  | (.9 | )%
Global components sales, as reported |  | $ | 3,193 |  |  | $ | 3,350 |  |  | (4.7 | )%
Impact of foreign currency |  | — |  |  | 11 |  |  |
Impact of acquisitions |  | 3 |  |  | 33 |  |  |
Change in presentation of sales |  | — |  |  | (131 | ) |  |
Global components sales, as adjusted |  | $ | 3,196 |  |  | $ | 3,263 |  |  | (2.1 | )%
Global ECS sales, as reported |  | $ | 1,657 |  |  | $ | 1,540 |  |  | 7.6 | %
Impact of foreign currency |  | — |  |  | (2 | ) |  |
Impact of acquisitions |  | — |  |  | 94 |  |  |
Global ECS sales, as adjusted |  | $ | 1,657 |  |  | $ | 1,632 |  |  | 1.6 | %

Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2013 decreased by $39.9 million, or .8%, compared with the year-earlier period. The decrease for the first quarter of 2013 was driven by a decrease in global components business segment sales of $157.0 million, or 4.7%, offset, in part, by an increase in global ECS business segment sales of $117.1 million, or 7.6%, compared with the year-earlier period. The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in consolidated sales of .2% for the first quarter of 2013 compared with the year-earlier period, due to a weaker U.S. dollar.
In the global components business segment, sales for the first quarter of 2013 decreased 4.7% compared with the year-earlier period primarily due to a decline in demand for products in both the Americas and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) regions offset, in part, by an increase in demand for products in the Asia Pacific region, the impact of recently acquired businesses, and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company's international financial statements. Adjusted for the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions, and the aforementioned change in presentation of sales, the company's global components business segment sales decreased by 2.1% for the first quarter of 2013, compared with the year-earlier period.
24

In the global ECS business segment, sales for the first quarter of 2013 increased 7.6% compared with the year-earlier period due to higher demand for products in both North America and the EMEA region. The increase in sales for the first quarter of 2013 was driven by growth in software, storage, industry standard servers, and services offset, in part, by a decline in proprietary servers. Adjusted for the impact of foreign currency and acquisitons, the company's global ECS business segment sales increased by 1.6% for the first quarter of 2013, compared with the year-earlier period.
Gross Profit
The company recorded gross profit of $642.1 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared with $680.6 million in the year-earlier period. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the aforementioned .8% decrease in sales during the first quarter of 2013. The gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2013 decreased by approximately 70 basis points compared with the year-earlier period principally due to increased competitive pricing pressure in both the company's business segments and, to a lesser extent, a change in mix of products. The aforementioned change in presentation of sales had no impact on gross profit dollars but positively impacted the gross profit margin percentage by approximately 40 basis points for the first quarter of 2013.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses and Depreciation and Amortization
Following is an analysis of operating expenses (in millions):

|  | Quarter Ended |  |
|  | March 30, 2013 |  | March 31, 2012 |  | % Change
Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as reported |  | $ | 451 |  |  | $ | 456 |  |  | (1.0 | )%
Depreciation and amortization, as reported |  | 32 |  |  | 29 |  |  | 8.5 | %
Operating expenses, as reported |  | 483 |  |  | 485 |  |  | (.4 | )%
Impact of foreign currency |  | — |  |  | (1 | ) |  |
Impact of acquisitions |  | — |  |  | 18 |  |  |
Operating expenses, as adjusted |  | $ | 483 |  |  | $ | 502 |  |  | (3.9 | )%

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $4.4 million, or 1.0%, in the first quarter of 2013 on a sales decrease of .8%, compared with the year-earlier period. Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales was 9.3% for both the first quarter of 2013 and 2012. The dollar decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to the company's efforts to streamline and simplify processes and to reduce expenses in response to the decline in sales. This was offset, in part, by selling, general, and administrative expenses for certain recent acquisitions which have a higher operating cost structure relative to the company's other businesses which is offset by higher gross profit margins for those businesses.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.5 million, or 8.5%, for the first quarter of 2013, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to increased depreciation associated with the company's enterprise resource planning ("ERP") initiative.
Adjusted for the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions, operating expenses (which include both selling, general, and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense) for the first quarter of 2013 decreased 3.9%, due to the company's ability to efficiently manage operating costs.
Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges
2013 Charges
The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $21.6 million ($15.5 million net of related taxes or $.15 and $.14 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) for the first quarter of 2013. Included in the restructuring, integration, and other charges for the first quarter of 2013 are restructuring charges of $18.6 million related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies. Also included in the restructuring, integration, and other charges for the first quarter of 2013 are charges of $.2 million related to restructuring and integration actions taken in prior periods and acquisition-related expenses of $2.8 million.
The restructuring charge of $18.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 includes personnel costs of $16.9 million and facilities costs of $1.7 million. The personnel costs are related to the elimination of approximately 280 positions within the global components
25

business segment and approximately 60 positions within the global ECS business segment. The facilities costs are related to exit activities for six vacated facilities in the Americas and EMEA regions due to the company's continued efforts to streamline its operations and reduce real estate costs. These restructuring initiatives are due to the company's continued efforts to lower cost and drive operational efficiency.
2012 Charges
The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $8.2 million ($6.1 million net of related taxes or $.05 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the first quarter of 2012. Included in the restructuring, integration, and other charges for the first quarter of 2012 is a restructuring charge of $5.4 million related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies. Also included in the restructuring, integration, and other charges for the first quarter of 2012 is a charge of $.5 million related to restructuring and integration actions taken in prior periods and acquisition-related expenses of $2.3 million.
The restructuring charge of $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2012 primarily includes personnel costs of $4.6 million, facilities costs of $.1 million, and other charges of $.7 million. The personnel costs are related to the elimination of approximately 95 positions within the global components business segment and approximately 35 positions within the global ECS business segment. The facilities costs are related to exit activities for a vacated facility in the Americas due to the company's continued efforts to streamline its operations and reduce real estate costs. These restructuring initiatives are due to the company's continued efforts to lower cost and drive operational efficiency.
As of March 30, 2013, the company does not anticipate there will be any material adjustments relating to the aforementioned restructuring charges. Refer to Note I, "Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the company's restructuring and integration activities.
Operating Income
The company recorded operating income of $137.6 million, or 2.8% of sales, in the first quarter of 2013 compared with operating income of $187.4 million, or 3.8% of sales in the year-earlier period. Included in operating income for the first quarter s of 2013 and 2012 were the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges of $21.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively.
Loss on Prepayment of Debt
In March 2013, the company redeemed $332.1 million principal amount of its 6.875% senior notes due July 2013. The related loss on the redemption for the first quarter of 2013 aggregated $4.3 million ($2.6 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt.
Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net
Net interest and other financing expense increased by 8.8%, to $29.5 million, for the first quarter of 2013 compared with $27.1 million in the year-earlier period due primarily to higher average debt outstanding. The company incurred $1.1 million of additional interest during the first quarter of 2013 related to the 6.875% notes which were redeemed by the company subsequent to the completion of the new note offering.
Income Taxes
The company recorded a provision for income taxes of $27.8 million (an effective tax rate of 26.3%) for the first quarter of 2013. The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges and loss on prepayment of debt. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, the company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was 27.0%.
The company recorded a provision for income taxes of $48.8 million (an effective tax rate of 30.0%) for the first quarter of 2012. The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, the company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was 29.8%.
The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate are impacted by, among other factors, the statutory tax rates in the countries in which it operates and the related level of income generated by these operations.
26

Net Income Attributable to Shareholders
The company recorded net income attributable to shareholders of $77.9 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $113.6 million in the year-earlier period. Included in net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter s of 2013 and 2012 were the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges of $15.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Also included in net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2013 was the previously discussed loss on prepayment of debt of $2.6 million. Excluding the aforementioned items, the decrease in net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2013 was primarily the result of a decrease in sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit. Additionally, gross profit margins were negatively impacted principally due to increased competitive pricing pressure in both the company's business segments, and to a lesser extent, a change in mix of products. These decreases were offset, in part, by a reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses due to the company's efforts to streamline and simplify processes and to reduce expenses in response to the decline in sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $364.2 million and $409.7 million, respectively, of which $324.2 million and $359.0 million, respectively, were held outside the United States. Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the company's business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the world. It is the company's current intent to permanently reinvest these funds outside the United States and its current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund its United States operations. If these funds were to be needed for the company's operations in the United States it would be required to record and pay significant United States income taxes to repatriate these funds. Additionally, local government regulations may restrict the company's ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances. The company currently does not expect such regulations and restrictions to impact its ability to make acquisitions or to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout the global organization.
During the first quarter of 2013, the net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities was $179.4 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $39.1 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $186.5 million.

The sources of cash from financing activities during the first quarter of 2013 were $591.2 million of net proceeds from a note offering, $44.3 million of net proceeds of long-term bank borrowings, $10.6 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and $6.5 million related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements. The uses of cash from financing activities included $338.2 million of redemption of senior notes, $113.5 million of repurchases of common stock, and a $14.3 million decrease in short-term and other borrowings.
In February 2013, the company completed the sale of $300.0 million principal amount of 3.00% notes due in 2018 and $300.0 million principal amount of 4.50% notes due in 2023. The net proceeds of the offering of $591.2 million were used to refinance the company's 6.875% senior notes due July 2013 and for general corporate purposes.
In March 2013, the company redeemed $332.1 million principal amount of its 6.875% senior notes due July 2013. The related loss on the redemption for the first quarter of 2013 aggregated $4.3 million ($2.6 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt.
The net amount of cash provided by financing activities during the first quarter of 2012 was $278.0 million. The sources of cash from financing activities during the first quarter of 2012 were $329.7 million of net proceeds from long-term bank borrowings, $10.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and $4.9 million related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements. The uses of cash from financing activities included $57.7 million of repurchases of common stock and a $9.1 million repayment of short-term and other borrowings.
The company has a $1.20 billion revolving credit facility, maturing in August 2016. This facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment, or purchase of long-term indebtedness and acquisitions, and as support for the company's commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a euro currency rate plus a spread based on the company's credit ratings (1.275% at March 30, 2013), or an effective interest rate of 1.47% at March 30, 2013. The facility fee is .225%. The company had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $57.9 million and $123.6 million at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. During the first quarter s of 2013 and 2012, the average daily balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility was $364.6 million and $236.1 million, respectively.
The company has a $775.0 million asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its United States subsidiaries, maturing in December 2014. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread, which is based on the company's credit ratings (.40% at March 30, 2013), or an effective interest rate of .71% at March 30, 2013. The facility fee is .40%. The company had $335.0 million and $225.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. During the first quarter s of 2013 and 2012, the average daily balance outstanding under the asset securitization program was $291.2 million and $529.0 million, respectively.
Both the revolving credit facility and asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings, limit the company's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock, and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 30, 2013 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.
In the normal course of business certain of the company’s subsidiaries have agreements to sell, without recourse, selected trade receivables to financial institutions. The company does not retain financial or legal interests in these receivables, and accordingly they are accounted for as sales of the related receivables and the receivables are removed from the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Financing costs related to these transactions were not material and are included in "Interest and other financing expense, net" in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.
28

The company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2012 registering debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, and warrants of Arrow Electronics, Inc. that may be issued by the company from time to time. As set forth in the shelf registration statement, the net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities may be used by the company for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and stock repurchases, or for such other purposes as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Management believes that the company's current cash availability, its current borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and asset securitization program, its expected ability to generate future operating cash flows, and the company's access to capital markets are sufficient to meet its projected cash flow needs for the foreseeable future. The company continually evaluates its liquidity requirements and would seek to amend its existing borrowing capacity or access the financial markets as deemed necessary.
Contractual Obligations
The company has contractual obligations for short-term and long-term debt, interest on short-term and long-term debt, capital leases, operating leases, purchase obligations, and certain other long-term liabilities that were summarized in a table of Contractual Obligations in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Since December 31, 2012, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations of the company, outside the ordinary course of the company’s business, except as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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 may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There were no significant changes during the first quarter of 2013 to the items disclosed as Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates from the information provided in Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, except as follows:
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $437.9 million and $425.1 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign exchange contracts, which are nominal, are estimated using market quotes. The translation of the financial statements of the non-United States operations is impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The change in consolidated sales and operating income was impacted by the translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars. For the first quarter of 2013, the translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in sales of $9.1 million and operating income remained flat, compared with the year-earlier period. Sales and operating income would decrease by approximately $144.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, if average foreign exchange rates declined by 10% against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2013. These amounts were determined by considering the impact of a hypothetical foreign exchange rate on the sales and operating income of the company's international operations.
Interest Rate Risk
At March 30, 2013, approximately 81% of the company's debt was subject to fixed rates, and 19% of its debt was subject to floating rates. A one percentage point change in average interest rates would not materially impact net interest and other financing expense for the first quarter of 2013. This was determined by considering the impact of a hypothetical interest rate on the company's average floating rate on investments and outstanding debt. This analysis does not consider the effect of the level of overall economic activity that could exist. In the event of a change in the level of economic activity, which may adversely impact interest rates, the company could likely take actions to further mitigate any potential negative exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that might be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the company's financial structure.
In September 2011, the company entered into a ten-year forward-starting interest rate swap (the "2011 swap") which locked in a treasury rate of 2.63% on an aggregate notional amount of $175.0 million. This swap managed the risk associated with changes in treasury rates and the impact of future interest payments. The 2011 swap related to the interest payments for anticipated debt issuances to replace the company's 6.875% senior notes due to mature in July 2013. The 2011 swap was classified as a cash flow hedge and had a negative fair value of $10.8 million at December 31, 2012. In February 2013, the company paid $7.7 million to terminate the 2011 swap upon issuance of the ten-year notes due in 2023. The fair value of the 2011 swap is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in "Other" and will be reclassified into income over the ten-year term of the notes due in 2023.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 30, 2013 (the "Evaluation"). Based upon the Evaluation, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the first quarter of 2013, the company completed the process of installing a new ERP system in a select operation in Europe as part of a phased implementation schedule. This new ERP system, which will replace multiple legacy systems of the company, is expected to be implemented globally over the next several years. The implementation of this new ERP system involves changes to the company's procedures for internal control over financial reporting. The company follows a system implementation life cycle process that requires significant pre-implementation planning, design, and testing. The company has also conducted and will continue to conduct extensive post-implementation monitoring, testing, and process modifications to ensure the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The company has not experienced any significant difficulties in results to date in connection with this implementation or the operation of the new ERP system.
31

There were no other changes in the company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.
