Key Business Metrics
Management uses gross billings as an operational metric to monitor operating performance of its Global ECS reportable segment, including sales performance by geographic region, as it provides meaningful supplemental information in evaluating the overall performance of the Global ECS business. The company uses this key metric to develop financial forecasts, make strategic decisions, and prepare and approve annual budgets. Gross billings represent amounts invoiced to customers for goods and services during a specified period and do not include the impact of recording sales on a net basis or sales adjustments, such as trade discounts and other allowances. The use of gross billings has certain limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue.
Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements,” as the term is defined under the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are those statements which are not statements of historical or current fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by forward-looking words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “believes,” “seeks,” “projected,” “potential,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: unfavorable economic conditions or changes, including those that may occur in connection with recession, inflation, tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or the availability of capital; impacts of military conflict and sanctions; political instability and changes; trade protection measures, tariffs, increased trade tensions, trade agreements and policies, and other restrictions, duties, and value-added taxes, and the associated macroeconomic impacts; disruptions, shortages, or inefficiencies in the supply chain; non-compliance with certain laws, regulations, or executive orders, such as trade, export, antitrust, and anti-corruption laws, or regulatory restrictions relating to the company or its subsidiaries or the permissibility of third-parties to transact therewith; the inability to realize sufficient sales to cover non-cancellable purchase obligations under certain ECS distribution agreements; changes in relationships with key suppliers; management transitions, including the company’s search for a permanent CEO; changes in product supply, pricing, and customer demand; increased profit-margin pressure resulting from industry conditions, competition, or other factors; other vagaries in the Global Components and the Global ECS markets; changes to applicable laws, regulations, executive orders, or rules relating to government contractors and the resulting legal and reputational exposure, including but not limited to those relating to environmental, social, governance, cybersecurity, data privacy, and artificial intelligence issues; commercial disputes, patent infringement claims, product liability lawsuits, or other legal proceedings; foreign tax and other loss contingencies; failure, disruption, or compromise of the company’s information systems or those of a third-party service provider, including unauthorized use or disclosure of company, supplier, or customer information; outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, or public health crises; the effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events; and the company’s ability to generate positive cash flow. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the company's future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in other filings the company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements.
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 provides certain non-GAAP financial information. The company provides the following non-GAAP metrics: sales, gross profit, operating income (including by business segment), income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, consolidated net income, noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to shareholders, effective tax rate, and net income per share on a diluted basis. The foregoing non-GAAP measures are adjusted by certain of the following, as applicable: impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as “changes in foreign currencies” or “on a constant currency basis”) by re-translating prior-period results at current period foreign exchange rates; identifiable intangible asset amortization; restructuring, integration, and other; net gains (losses) on investments; inventory recoveries related to the wind down of a business within Global Components (“impact of wind down”); tax adjustments related to the wind down of a business; and employee severance and benefits costs not related to restructuring initiative presented in cost of sales. Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand the company’s operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management, especially when comparing results with previous periods. Management typically monitors the business as adjusted for these items, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting purposes, for short- and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate the company's financial performance. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, data presented in accordance with GAAP.
