Basis of Presentation |
Basis of Accounting Policy | The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the “company”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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, 2023, as filed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Fiscal Period Policy | The company operates on a quarterly calendar that closes on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, except for the fourth quarter, which closes on December 31, 2024.
Reclassification | Reclassification Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on previously reported amounts.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards | In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). Upon adoption of ASU 2023-09, the company will disclose specific new categories in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items above a quantitative threshold. The company will also disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid were above a threshold. The company expects these amendments will first be applied in the company’s annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, on a prospective basis. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Upon adoption of ASU 2023-07, the company will disclose significant segment expenses, the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and an explanation of how the reported measure of segment profit or loss is used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make resource allocation decisions. These amendments will first be applied in the company’s annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and will be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
Goodwill | 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.
Fair Value of Debt Policy | The carrying amount of the company’s other short-term borrowings, uncommitted lines of credit, revolving credit facility, 3.25% notes due in 2024, North American asset securitization program, commercial paper, and other obligations approximate their fair value.
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.
