Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions [Text Block] | 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 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 7). 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. Recently Completed Acquisition In January 2014, the company completed one acquisition for a purchase price of approximately $60,000 in cash. 2013 Acquisitions On October 28, 2013, the company acquired CSS Computer Security Solutions Holding GmbH, doing business as ComputerLinks AG ("ComputerLinks"), for a purchase price of approximately $313,209, which included $20,981 of cash acquired. ComputerLinks is a value-added distributor of enterprise computing solutions with a comprehensive offering of IT solutions from many of the world's leading technology suppliers. ComputerLinks has operations in EMEA, North America, and select countries within the Asia Pacific region. Since the date of the acquisition, ComputerLinks sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $208,177 were included in the company's consolidated results of operations. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the net consideration paid to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the ComputerLinks acquisition:
Accounts receivable, net | $ | 177,700 |
Inventories | 58,041 |
Other current assets | 11,168 |
Property, plant, and equipment | 7,070 |
Other assets | 1,480 |
Identifiable intangible assets | 39,195 |
Cost in excess of net assets acquired | 275,442 |
Accounts payable | (213,456 | )
Accrued expenses | (51,270 | )
Other liabilities | (13,142 | )
Cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired | $ | 292,228 |
In connection with the ComputerLinks acquisition, the company allocated the following amounts to identifiable intangible assets:
| Weighted-Average Life |  |
Customer relationships | 9 years |  | $ | 37,125 |
Other intangible assets | (a) |  | 2,070 |
Total identifiable intangible assets |  |  | $ | 39,195 |
(a) | Consists of non-competition agreements and sales backlog with useful lives ranging from one to two years.
The cost in excess of net assets acquired related to the ComputerLinks acquisition was recorded in the company's global ECS business segment. The intangible assets related to the ComputerLinks acquisition are not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. During 2013, the company completed four additional acquisitions. The aggregate consideration for these four acquisitions was $80,210, net of cash acquired, and includes $4,498 of contingent consideration. The impact of these acquisitions was not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The following table summarizes the company's unaudited consolidated results of operations for 2013 and 2012, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company, as though the 2013 acquisitions occurred on January 1:
|  | For the Years Ended December 31,
|  | 2013 |  | 2012
|  | As Reported |  | Pro Forma |  | As Reported |  | Pro Forma
Sales |  | $ | 21,357,285 |  |  | $ | 22,191,263 |  |  | $ | 20,405,128 |  |  | $ | 21,433,912 |
Net income attributable to shareholders |  | 399,420 |  |  | 408,290 |  |  | 506,332 |  |  | 524,943 |
Net income per share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic |  | $ | 3.89 |  |  | $ | 3.98 |  |  | $ | 4.64 |  |  | $ | 4.81 |
Diluted |  | $ | 3.85 |  |  | $ | 3.94 |  |  | $ | 4.56 |  |  | $ | 4.73 |
The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations do not purport to be indicative of the results obtained had these acquisitions occurred as of the beginning of 2013 and 2012, or of those results that may be obtained in the future. Additionally, the above table does not reflect any anticipated cost savings or cross-selling opportunities expected to result from these acquisitions. 2012 Acquisitions During 2012, the company completed seven acquisitions. The aggregate consideration for these seven acquisitions was $289,782, net of cash acquired, and includes $10,390 of contingent consideration. The impact of these acquisitions was 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 years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, as though the 2012 acquisitions occurred on January 1 was also not material. 2011 Acquisitions On March 1, 2011, the company acquired all of the assets and operations of the RF, Wireless and Power Division of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. ("Richardson RFPD") for a purchase price of $235,973. Richardson RFPD is a leading value-added global component distributor and provider of engineered solutions serving the global radio frequency and wireless communications market. Richardson RFPD's product set includes devices for infrastructure and wireless networks, power management, and alternative energy markets. On January 3, 2011, the company acquired Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. ("Nu Horizons") for a purchase price of $161,125, which included cash acquired of $18,085 and $26,375 of debt paid at closing. Nu Horizons is a leading global distributor of advanced technology semiconductor, display, illumination, and power solutions to a wide variety of commercial original equipment manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service providers in the components industry. Nu Horizons has sales facilities and logistics centers throughout the world, serving a wide variety of end markets including industrial, military, networking, and data communications. The fair value of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, relating to the Nu Horizons acquisition was approximately $162,213, which exceeds the purchase price discussed above of $161,125. Accordingly, the company recognized the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over purchase price paid of $1,088 ($668 net of related taxes or $.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) as a gain on bargain purchase. The gain on bargain purchase was included in "Other" in the company's consolidated statements of operations. Prior to recognizing the gain, the company reassessed the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The company believes it was able to acquire Nu Horizons for less than the fair value of its net assets due to Nu Horizons' stock trading below its book value for an extended period of time prior to the announcement of the acquisition. The company offered a purchase price per share for Nu Horizons that was above the prevailing stock price thereby representing a premium to the shareholders. The acquisition of Nu Horizons by the company was approved by Nu Horizons' shareholders. Since the dates of the acquisitions, Richardson RFPD and Nu Horizons' sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $876,817 were included in the company's consolidated results of operations. The cost in excess of net assets acquired related to the Richardson RFPD acquisition was recorded in the company's global components business segment. Substantially all of the intangible assets related to the Richardson RFPD acquisition are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. During 2011, the company completed six additional acquisitions for aggregate cash consideration of $153,555, net of cash acquired. The impact of these acquisitions was not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The following table summarizes the company's unaudited consolidated results of operations for 2011, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company, as though the 2011 acquisitions occurred on January 1:
|  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2011
|  | As Reported |  | Pro Forma
Sales |  | $ | 21,390,264 |  |  | $ | 21,573,260 |
Net income attributable to shareholders |  | 598,810 |  |  | 603,243 |
Net income per share: |  |  |  |  |
Basic |  | $ | 5.25 |  |  | $ | 5.29 |
Diluted |  | $ | 5.17 |  |  | $ | 5.20 |
The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations do not purport to be indicative of the results obtained had these acquisitions occurred as of the beginning of 2011, or of those results that may be obtained in the future. Additionally, the above table does not reflect any anticipated cost savings or cross-selling opportunities expected to result from these acquisitions. Other During 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.
