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 Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Quarter End

During the first quarter of 2012, the company began operating on a revised quarterly reporting calendar that closes on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter. There were 64 shipping days for both the second quarters of 2012 and 2011 and there were 128 shipping days for both the first six months of 2012 and 2011.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Note B – 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. 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.

2012 Acquisitions

During the first six months of 2012, the company completed five acquisitions. The aggregate consideration for these five acquisitions was $232,161, which included cash acquired of $37,100, debt paid at closing of $28,861, and $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 consolidated results of operations of the company for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 as though the 2012 acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2012 were 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 ("RFPD") of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. ("Richardson") 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.

ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)

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. The fair value of the net assets acquired relating to the Nu Horizons acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets, exceeded the purchase price paid. Accordingly, during the first six months of 2011, the company recognized the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price paid of $1,755 ($1,078 net of related taxes or $.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) as a gain on bargain purchase which was subsequently adjusted downward by $667 ($410 net of related taxes) during the fourth quarter of 2011.

During 2011, the company also completed six additional acquisitions. The aggregate consideration for these six acquisitions was $175,892, which included $22,337 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 the second quarter and first six months of 2011, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company, as though the 2012 and 2011 acquisitions occurred on January 1:

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 the first six months 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 C – 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:

(a) Consists of non-competition agreements and sales backlog with useful lives ranging from one to three years.

For a period of time during the second quarter of 2012 the company's stock price traded below book value per share and as such, the company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill. The first step of the impairment test requires the identification of the company's reporting units and comparison of the fair values of each of these reporting units to their respective carrying values. Based upon the results of this step-one analysis, the fair values of each of the company's reporting units were higher than their carrying values and, therefore, goodwill was not deemed to be impaired and a step-two analysis was not required. For purposes of this analysis, the company estimated the fair value for each reporting unit utilizing the income approach in which fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. The assumptions included in the income approach include forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating income margins, working capital cash flow, perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates, among others, all of which require significant judgments by management. Actual results may differ from those assumed in the forecasts.

During the second quarter of 2012, the company also tested indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the fair value of these assets to their respective carrying values. Based upon the results of such tests, the company's indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired.

Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets was $8,959 and $18,630 for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 and $9,280 and $16,163 for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively.

The carrying amount of the company's short-term borrowings in various countries, revolving credit facility, asset securitization program, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

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 June 30, 2012). The facility fee related to the revolving credit facility is .225%.  The company had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $191,800 and $74,000 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 June 30, 2012).  The facility fee is .40%.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the company had $200,000 and $280,000, 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 $1,516,599 and $1,562,613, 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 June 30, 2012 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 income of $650 and $1,235 for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 and $1,411 and $2,779 for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively.

Note G – 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.

(Unaudited)

In September 2011, the company entered into a ten-year forward-starting interest rate swap (the "2011 swap") locking in a treasury rate of 2.63% with an aggregate notional amount of $175,000. This swap manages the risk associated with changes in treasury rates and the impact of future interest payments. The 2011 swap relates to the interest payments for anticipated debt issuances. Such anticipated debt issuances are expected to replace the outstanding debt maturing in July 2013. The 2011 swap is classified as a cash flow hedge and had a negative fair value of $9,088 and $3,009 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

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 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $306,531 and $332,881, respectively.

Contingent Consideration

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. Of the total contingent consideration as of June 30, 2012, $3,456 is included in "Accrued expenses" and $7,700 is included in "Other liabilities" in the company's consolidated balance sheets.
 
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 H – Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

During the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, the company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $13,347 ($9,702 net of related taxes or $.09 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and $5,221 ($3,584 net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis), respectively.

During the first six months of 2012 and 2011, the company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $21,590 ($15,843 net of related taxes or $.14 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and $14,828 ($10,783 net of related taxes or $.09 per share on both a basic and diluted basis), respectively.

The restructuring charge of $14,847 for the first six months of 2012 primarily includes personnel costs of $10,366, facilities costs of $331, and asset write-downs of $4,150.  The personnel costs are related to the elimination of approximately 185 positions within the global components business segment and approximately 85 positions within the global ECS business segment. The facilities costs are related to exit activities for six vacated facilities worldwide due to the company's continued efforts to streamline its operations and reduce real estate costs. The asset write-downs resulted from the company's decision to exit certain business activities which causes these assets to become redundant and have no future benefit. These restructuring initiatives are due to the company's continued efforts to lower cost and drive operational efficiency.

Note L - Contingencies

Settlement of Legal Matter

During the first quarter of 2011, the company recorded a charge of $5,875 ($3,609 net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) in connection with the settlement of a legal matter, inclusive of related legal costs. This matter related to a customer dispute that originated in 1997. The company had successfully defended itself in a trial, but the verdict was subsequently overturned, in part, by an appellate court and remanded for a new trial. The company ultimately decided to settle this matter to avoid further legal expense and the burden on management's time that such a trial would entail.

Tekelec Matter

In 2000, the company purchased Tekelec Europe SA ("Tekelec") from Tekelec Airtronic SA ("Airtronic") 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.

Environmental and Related Matters

Wyle Claims

In connection with the 2000 purchase of Wyle from the VEBA Group ("VEBA"), the company assumed certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle, including Wyle's 1994 indemnification of 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 VEBA, VEBA agreed to indemnify the company for costs associated with the Wyle environmental indemnities, among other things. The company is aware of two Wyle Laboratories facilities (in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California) at which contaminated groundwater was identified. Each site will require remediation, the final form and cost of which is undetermined.

Wyle Laboratories has demanded indemnification from the company with respect to the work at both sites (and in connection with the litigation discussed below), and the company has, in turn, demanded indemnification from VEBA. VEBA merged with a publicly-traded, German conglomerate in June 2000. The combined entity, now known as E.ON AG, remains responsible for VEBA's liabilities. E.ON AG acknowledged liability under the terms of the VEBA contract in connection with the Norco and

(Unaudited)

Huntsville sites and made an initial, partial payment. Neither the company's demands for subsequent payments nor its demand for defense and indemnification in the related litigation and other costs associated with the Norco site were met.

Related Litigation

In October 2005, the company filed suit against E.ON AG in the Frankfurt am Main Regional Court in Germany. The suit seeks indemnification, contribution, and a declaration of the parties' respective rights and obligations in connection with the Riverside County litigation (discussed below) and other costs associated with the Norco site. In its answer to the company's claim filed in March 2009 in the German proceedings, E.ON AG filed a counterclaim against the company for approximately $16,000. The company believes it has reasonable defenses to the counterclaim and plans to defend its position vigorously. The company believes that the ultimate resolution of the counterclaim will not materially adversely impact the company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. The litigation is currently suspended while the company engages in a court-facilitated mediation with E.ON AG. The mediation commenced in December 2009 and is ongoing.

The company was named as a defendant in several suits related to the Norco facility, all of which were consolidated for pre-trial purposes. In January 2005, an action was filed in the California Superior Court in Riverside County, California (Gloria Austin, et al. v. Wyle Laboratories, Inc. et al.). Approximately 90 plaintiff landowners and residents sued a number of defendants under a variety of theories for unquantified damages allegedly caused by environmental contamination at and around the Norco site. Also filed in the Superior Court in Riverside County were Jimmy Gandara, et al. v. Wyle Laboratories, Inc. et al. in January 2006, and Lisa Briones, et al. v. Wyle Laboratories, Inc. et al. in May 2006; both of which contain allegations similar to those in the Austin case on behalf of approximately 20 additional plaintiffs. All of these matters have now been resolved to the satisfaction of the parties.

The company was also named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in September 2006 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Apollo Associates, L.P., et anno. v. Arrow Electronics, Inc. et al.) in connection with alleged contamination at a third site, an industrial building formerly leased by Wyle Laboratories, in El Segundo, California. The lawsuit was settled, though the possibility remains that government entities or others may attempt to involve the company in further characterization or remediation of groundwater issues in the area.

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 development of a final Remedial Action Work Plan is ongoing. Approximately $31,000 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 between $250 to $500.

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 $11,000 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 $12,500 to $24,000.

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 under the consent decree is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.

Impact on Financial Statements

The company believes that any cost which it may incur in connection with environmental conditions at the Norco, Huntsville, and El Segundo sites and the related litigation is covered by the contractual indemnifications (except, under the terms of the environmental indemnification, for the first $450), discussed above. The company believes that the recovery of costs incurred to date associated with the environmental clean-up of the Norco and Huntsville sites, is probable. Accordingly, the company increased the receivable for amounts due from E.ON AG by $1,036 during 2012 to $49,990. The company's net costs for such indemnified matters may vary from period to period as estimates of recoveries are not always recognized in the same period as the accrual of estimated expenses.

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. Certain of the insurance carriers implicated in the Riverside County litigation have undertaken substantial portions of the defense of the company, and the company has recovered approximately $13,000 from them as of June 30, 2012. However, 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. In July 2012, the company received a payment of $8,750 pursuant to a settlement with one of these policy carriers in the form of a policy buy-back.

The company believes strongly in the merits of its positions regarding the E.ON AG indemnity and the liabilities of the insurance carriers.

Also included in the proceedings against E.ON AG is a claim for the reimbursement of pre-acquisition tax liabilities of Wyle in the amount of $8,729 for which E.ON AG is also contractually liable to indemnify the company. E.ON AG has specifically acknowledged owing the company not less than $6,335 of such amounts, but its promises to make payments of at least that amount were not kept. The company also believes that the recovery of these amounts is probable.

In connection with the acquisition of Wyle, the company acquired a $4,495 tax receivable due from E.ON AG (as successor to VEBA) in respect of certain tax payments made by Wyle prior to the effective date of the acquisition, the recovery of which the company also believes is probable.

The receivable for amounts due from E.ON AG for the previously mentioned tax and environmental matters and related litigation are included in "Other Assets" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. The company's basis for the conclusion that recovery of these amounts are probable is based upon its determination that it has appropriate legal rights to seek reimbursement under the indemnification agreement with E.ON AG, as well as the company's ability to seek reimbursement under the various Wyle insurance policies. The timing of the collection of these amounts is contingent upon resolution of the court-facilitated mediation or litigation with E.ON AG, the completion of settlement agreements with certain insurers, and the resolution of litigation currently pending with certain other insurance carriers. The resolution of these matters could likely take several years.

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 six months of 2012, approximately 68% of the company's sales were from the global components business segment, and approximately 32% 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.

On March 1, 2011, the company acquired all of the assets and operations of the RF, Wireless and Power Division ("RFPD") of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. ("Richardson") for a purchase price of $236.0 million. On January 3, 2011, the company acquired Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. ("Nu Horizons") for a purchase price of $161.1 million, which included cash acquired of $18.1 million and $26.4 million of debt paid at closing.

During the first six months of 2012, the company completed five acquisitions. During 2011, the company completed six additional acquisitions. The impacts of these acquisitions were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2012 decreased by 7.0%, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a 10.9% decrease in the global components business segment sales, offset, in part, by a 1.9% increase in the global ECS business segment sales.   The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in a decrease in consolidated sales of $199.9 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a stronger U.S. dollar. Pro forma for acquisitions and excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company's consolidated sales decreased by 4.9% for the second quarter of 2012, principally due to weaker overall market conditions.

Net income attributable to shareholders decreased to $114.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $156.2 million in the year-earlier period.  The following items impacted the comparability of the company's results:

Second quarters of 2012 and 2011:

restructuring, integration, and other charges of $13.3 million ($9.7 million net of related taxes) in 2012 and $5.2 million ($3.6 million net of related taxes) in 2011.

First six months of 2012 and 2011:

restructuring, integration, and other charges of $21.6 million ($15.8 million net of related taxes) in 2012 and $14.8 million ($10.8 million net of related taxes) in 2011;
a charge of $5.9 million ($3.6 million net of related taxes) related to the settlement of a legal matter in 2011; and
a gain on bargain purchase of $1.8 million ($1.1 million net of related taxes) in 2011.

Excluding the aforementioned items, the decrease in net income attributable to shareholders for the second quarter of 2012 was primarily the result of a decrease in sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit. Additionally, gross profit margins were negatively impacted due to increased competitive pricing pressure in both the company's business segments, as well as a change in mix of products and customers. 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.


23


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.

Consolidated sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 decreased by $389.4 million, or 7.0%, and $722.8 million, or 6.7%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The decrease for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was driven by a decrease in the global components business segment sales of $421.6 million, or 10.9%, and $958.7 million, or 12.4%, respectively, offset, in part, by an increase in the global ECS business segment sales of $32.3 million, or 1.9%, and $235.8 million, or 7.9%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in a decrease in consolidated sales of $199.9 million and $277.1 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods, due to a stronger U.S. dollar. Pro forma for acquisitions and excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company's consolidated sales decreased by 4.9% and 6.2%, for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, principally due to weaker overall market conditions.

In the global components business segment, sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 decreased primarily due to a global decline in demand for products and by the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar on the translation of the company's international financial statements offset, in part, by the impact of recently acquired businesses. Pro forma for acquisitions and excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company's global components business segment sales decreased by 8.9% and 12.1% for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively.

In the global ECS business segment, sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 increased due to higher demand for products in both North America and the EMEA region (defined as Europe, the Middle East, and Africa).  The increase in sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was due to growth in services, storage, and software offset, in part, by declines in servers. Pro forma for acquisitions and excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company's global ECS business segment sales increased by 4.0% and 8.5% for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively.  

Gross Profit

The company recorded gross profit of $687.1 million and $1.37 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, compared with $770.1 million and $1.49 billion in the year-earlier periods.  The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the aforementioned 7.0% and 6.7% decrease in sales during the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively. Gross profit margins for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 decreased by approximately 60 and 20 basis points, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods, due to increased competitive pricing pressure in both the company's business segments, as well as a change in mix of products and customers. Pro forma for acquisitions and excluding the impact of foreign currency, gross profit margins decreased by approximately 80 and 50 basis points, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and Depreciation and Amortization

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $33.5 million, or 6.8%, in the second quarter of 2012 on a sales decrease of 7.0%, compared with the second quarter of 2011 and decreased $42.6 million, or 4.5%, in the first six months of 2012 on a sales

24


decrease of 6.7%, compared with the first six months of 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales was 8.9% and 9.1% for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, compared with 8.9% in both the year-earlier periods. 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. The effect of acquisitions on selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was an increase of approximately $10 million and $40 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.0 million, or 7.8%, and $8.1 million, or 16.6%, for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods, primarily due to increased depreciation associated with the company's enterprise resource planning ("ERP") initiative and increased depreciation and amortization associated with acquisitions.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency and pro forma for acquisitions, operating expenses (which include both selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense) for the second quarter of 2012 decreased 5.6% on a sales decrease of 4.9%, as compared with the year-earlier period. Pro forma for acquisitions and excluding the impact of foreign currency, operating expenses for the first six months of 2012 decreased 5.2% on a sales decrease of 6.2%, compared with the year-earlier period.

Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

2012 Charges

The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $13.3 million ($9.7 million net of related taxes or $.09 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and $21.6 million ($15.8 million net of related taxes or $.14 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively.  Included in the restructuring, integration, and other charges for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 are restructuring charges of $9.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively, related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies. Also included in the restructuring, integration, and other charges for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 is a credit of $.1 million and a charge of $.4 million, respectively, related to restructuring and integration actions taken in prior periods and acquisition-related expenses of $4.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

The facilities costs are related to exit activities for six vacated facilities worldwide due to the company's continued efforts to streamline its operations and reduce real estate costs. The asset write-downs resulted from the company's decision to exit certain business activities which causes these assets to become redundant and have no future benefit. These restructuring initiatives are due to the company's continued efforts to lower cost and drive operational efficiency. 

2011 Charges

The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $5.2 million ($3.6 million net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and $14.8 million ($10.8 million net of related taxes or $.09 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively. Included in the restructuring, integration, and other charges for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 are restructuring charges of $4.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively, related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies, primarily attributable to the integration of recently acquired businesses. Also included in the restructuring, integration, and other charges for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 are credits of $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to restructuring and integration actions taken in prior periods and acquisition-related expenses of $2.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

The restructuring charges of $4.3 million and $8.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, primarily include personnel costs of $3.4 million and $5.5 million and facilities costs of $.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The personnel costs are related to the elimination of approximately 100 positions within the global components business segment and approximately 30 positions within the global ECS business segment.  The facilities costs are related to exit activities for ten vacated facilities in the Americas and Europe 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 June 30, 2012, the company does not anticipate there will be any material adjustments relating to the aforementioned restructuring plans. Refer to Note H, "Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the company's restructuring and integration activities.

Settlement of Legal Matter

During the first quarter of 2011, the company recorded a charge of $5.9 million ($3.6 million net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) in connection with the settlement of a legal matter, inclusive of related legal costs. This matter related to a customer dispute that originated in 1997. The company had successfully defended itself in a trial, but the verdict was subsequently overturned, in part, by an appellate court and remanded for a new trial. The company ultimately decided to settle this matter to avoid further legal expense and the burden on management's time that such a trial would entail.

Operating Income

The company recorded operating income of $188.7 million, or 3.7% of sales, and $376.1 million, or 3.7% of sales, in the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, as compared with operating income of $248.3 million, or 4.5% of sales, and $467.5 million, or 4.3% of sales, in the year-earlier periods.  Included in operating income for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 were the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges of $13.3 million and $21.6 million, respectively.  Included in operating income for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges of $5.2 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Also included in operating income for the first six months of 2011 was the previously discussed charge of $5.9 million related to the settlement of a legal matter.

Gain on Bargain Purchase

During the first quarter of 2011, the company acquired 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. During the first quarter of 2011, the company recognized the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price paid of $1.8 million ($1.1 million net of related taxes or $.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) as a gain on bargain purchase which was subsequently adjusted downward by $.7 million ($.4 million net of related taxes) during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net

Net interest and other financing expense increased by 7.6% to $28.6 million and 6.5%, to $55.7 million, for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods, due primarily to higher average debt outstanding primarily to fund acquisitions.

Income Taxes

The company recorded a provision for income taxes of $47.1 million and $95.9 million (an effective tax rate of 29.1% and 29.6%) for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively.  The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges.  Excluding the impact of the aforementioned item, the company's effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was 29.0% and 29.4%, respectively.  

The company recorded a provision for income taxes of $66.9 million and $126.8 million (an effective tax rate of 30.0% and 30.2%) for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively.  The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges, charge related to the settlement of a legal matter, and a gain on bargain purchase. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, the company's effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was 30.0% and 30.2%, respectively.

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.
 
Net Income Attributable to Shareholders
 
The company recorded net income attributable to shareholders of $114.4 million and $228.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $156.2 million and $292.5 million in

26


the year-earlier periods.  Included in net income attributable to shareholders for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 were the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges of $9.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively. Included in net income attributable to shareholders for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges of $3.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively. Also included in net income attributable to shareholders for the first six months of 2011 was the previously discussed charge of $3.6 million related to the settlement of a legal matter and a gain on bargain purchase of $1.1 million. Excluding the aforementioned items, the decrease in net income attributable to shareholders for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was primarily the result of a decrease in sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit. Additionally, gross profit margins were negatively impacted due to increased competitive pricing pressure in both the company's business segments, as well as a change in mix of products and customers. 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $325.8 million and $396.9 million, respectively, of which $284.3 million and $361.5 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 six months of 2012, the net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities was $311.0 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $251.1 million, and the net amount of cash used for financing activities was $116.8 million.  The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a decrease of $14.1 million.

During the first six months of 2011, the net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities was $144.7 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $502.7 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $242.3 million.  The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was an increase of $9.8 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The company maintains a significant investment in accounts receivable and inventories.  As a percentage of total assets, accounts receivable and inventories were approximately 64.5% and 65.6% at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities during the first six months of 2012 was $311.0 million and was primarily due to earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items, and a decrease in net working capital due to a decline in sales.

The net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities during the first six months of 2011 was $144.7 million and was primarily due to an increase in working capital to support the increase in sales, offset, in part, by earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items.

Working capital as a percentage of sales was 14.7% in the second quarter of 2012 compared with 14.4% in the second quarter of 2011.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first six months of 2012 was $251.1 million, reflecting $187.2 million of cash consideration paid for acquired businesses, $48.9 million for capital expenditures, and $15.0 million related to the purchase of a cost method investment. Included in capital expenditures for the first six months of 2012 is $29.8 million related to the company's ERP initiative.
 
During the first six months of 2012, the company completed five acquisitions for aggregate cash consideration of $184.7 million. In addition, the company made a payment of $2.5 million to increase its ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary.


27


The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first six months of 2011 was $502.7 million, reflecting $442.3 million of cash consideration paid for acquired businesses and $60.3 million for capital expenditures. Included in capital expenditures for the first six months of 2011 is $27.7 million related to the company's global ERP initiative.

During the first six months of 2011, the company acquired Richardson RFPD, a leading value-added global component distributor and provider of engineered solutions serving the global radio frequency and wireless communications market and Nu Horizons, a leading global distributor of advanced technology semiconductor, display, illumination, and power solutions, for aggregate cash consideration of $379.0 million. During the first six months of 2011, the company also completed two additional acquisitions, for aggregate cash consideration of $63.3 million.

The company has initiated a global ERP effort to standardize processes worldwide and adopt best-in-class capabilities. This new ERP system, which replaces multiple legacy systems of the company, is expected to be implemented globally over the next several years. For the full year 2012, the estimated cash flow impact of this initiative is expected to be in the $40 to $60 million range with the impact remaining relatively flat in 2013. The company expects to finance these costs with cash flows from operations.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net amount of cash used for financing activities during the first six months of 2012 was $116.8 million. The uses of cash from financing activities included $157.8 million of repurchases of common stock and a $12.6 million decrease in short-term and other borrowings. The sources of cash from financing activities during the first six months of 2012 were $37.8 million of net proceeds from long-term bank borrowings, $10.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and $5.0 million related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements.

The net amount of cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2011 was $242.3 million. The sources of cash from financing activities during the first six months of 2011 were $292.5 million of net proceeds from long-term bank borrowings, $46.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and $6.9 million related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements. The uses of cash from financing activities included $96.9 million of repurchases of common stock and a $6.4 million decrease in 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 June 30, 2012). The facility fee related to the revolving credit facility is .225%.  The company had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $191.8 million and $74.0 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. During the first six months of 2012 and 2011, the average daily balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility was $243.5 million and $205.1 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 June 30, 2012). The facility fee is .40%. The company had $200.0 million and $280.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  During the first six months of 2012 and 2011, the average daily balance outstanding under the asset securitization program was $536.8 million and $305.6 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 June 30, 2012 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.

The company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC in September 2009 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

28


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, 2011.  Since December 31, 2011, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations of the company, outside the ordinary course of the company’s business, except as follows:

at June 30, 2012, the company had $191.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility which matures in August 2016; and
at June 30, 2012, the company had $200.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program which matures in December 2014.

Share-Repurchase Program

In October 2011, the company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the repurchase of up to $150 million of the company's common stock through a share-repurchase program. In June 2012, the company's Board approved an additional repurchase of up to $200 million of the company's common stock. As of June 30, 2012, the company repurchased 4,035,802 shares under these programs with a market value of $149.7 million at the dates of repurchase.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The company has no off-balance sheet financing or unconsolidated special purpose entities.

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 six months of 2012 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&#
