For the September 2010 quarter, Avnet achieved record sales of $6.18 billion, up 42% year over year driven by the combination of double digit organic growth in both EM and TS and the impact of recent acquisitions. The year-over-year comparison of first quarter results were impacted by:
  (i)  
the Bell, Tallard and Unidux acquisitions,
 
  (ii)  
the extra week of sales in the prior year first quarter due to the “52/53 week” fiscal year,
 
  (iii)  
the transfer of the existing embedded business from TS Americas to EM Americas which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 in conjunction with the Bell acquisition, and
 
  (iv)  
the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Sales adjusted for items (i) through (iii) are defined as “pro forma” or “organic sales.”

Year-over-year organic sales increased 26% representing our third consecutive quarter of year-over-year double-digit growth in organic sales.
 
   
Excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (“constant dollars”), organic sales increased 29%.
 
   
On a sequential basis, organic sales for the quarter were up 1% as compared with normal seasonality of down 3% to 7%.

Electronics Marketing (EM) achieved revenue of $3.62 billion for the quarter, up 49% year over year in reported dollars and 52% in constant dollars and achieved its fourth consecutive quarter of double digit year-over-year growth.
   
Pro forma year-over-year revenue growth was 40%, and was the third consecutive quarter in which year-over-year organic growth was greater than 35%.
 
   
All regions experienced double digit year-over-year pro forma growth due to stronger end demand and inventory replenishment across the technology industry
 
   
Pro forma revenue grew 4% sequentially, better than normal seasonality of down 1% to 3%.
 
Technology Solutions (TS) revenue of $2.56 billion grew 34% year over year in reported dollars, achieving its fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
   
Pro forma revenue grew double digits year over year for the fourth consecutive quarter.
 
   
Asia revenue grew 49% year over year, its seventh consecutive quarter of double digit growth. On a pro forma basis, Asia revenue increased 32% year over year and 9% sequentially.
 
   
All three regions experienced stronger sales of networking, storage and microprocessors partially offset by a decline in sales of proprietary servers.

Avnet, Inc. Gross Profit

Gross Profit
  $ 723.1     $ 499.7     $ 223.4  
Gross Profit Margin
    11.70 %     11.47 %   23  bps
 
Gross profit dollars were $723 million, up 45% year over year and 12% sequentially due to strong organic growth and the increase in sales related to acquisitions.
 
 
Gross profit margin of 11.7% increased 23 basis points year over year and declined 69 basis points sequentially due to the expected impact of acquisitions which include lower margin and higher working capital velocity businesses.
   
Excluding acquisitions, gross profit margin increased year over year in both operating groups.
 
   
EM gross profit margin increased 27 basis points year over year with EMEA and Asia increases offsetting the decline in the Americas, which was due to the impact of the acquisition of Bell and the transfer of the lower margin embedded business from TS Americas to EM Americas.
 
   
EM gross profit margin declined 69 basis points sequentially due primarily to the same factors that impacted the year-over-year results.
 
   
TS gross profit margin was slightly lower year over year, down 12 basis points, and down 54 basis points sequentially. Both the year-over-year and sequential declines were primarily attributable to the EMEA region which was impacted by the combination of the acquisition of the Bell business, which has a lower gross profit margin profile than the existing TS EMEA businesses, and a less favorable product mix in the existing TS EMEA businesses.
Avnet, Inc. Operating Expenses

    69.23 %     78.57 %   (934 ) bps
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as % of Sales
    8.10 %     9.02 %   (92 ) bps
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) were $501 million, up 27% year over year and up 13% on a pro forma basis excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
   
The increase was primarily attributable to the SG&A expenses of approximately $80 million associated with acquisitions partially offset by the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $15 million and the extra week of expenses in the prior year first quarter, of approximately $15 million due to the Company’s fiscal calendar as mentioned previously.
 
   
The 13% increase in pro forma SG&A expenses was primarily due to the incremental costs to support the strong year-over-year organic revenue growth of 26%, demonstrating the significant leverage in our business model.
 
SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit improved by 934 basis points over the prior year first quarter.
   
At 69.2% this is the first time SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit have been below 70% for a September quarter since FY 08.

Corporate expenses were lower than expected by approximately $6.0 million pre-tax and $3.6 million after tax, due to the postponement of certain equity compensation grants that are now expected to impact the December 2010 quarter.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is presented in the Non-GAAP Financial Information section at the end of this document.
 
Adjusted enterprise operating income of $223 million was up 108% as compared with the prior year quarter.
   
Excluding acquisitions, EM operating income increased in all regions both year over year and sequentially.
 
Adjusted operating income margin at the enterprise level of 3.6% was up 114 basis points over the prior year quarter.
   
The increase is attributable to operating leverage on the significant increase in organic sales, firming gross profit margins in our legacy businesses in both operating groups, and our continued expense control somewhat offset by the impact of acquisitions pending the full realization of the expected synergies of at least $60 million.
 
   
EM operating income margin increased 197 basis points year over year to 5.3%, which is within management’s target range for EM for the third consecutive quarter.
 
Adjusted operating income margin decreased 56 basis points sequentially which was an expected impact of the acquisitions pending the full realization of the anticipated synergies and normal seasonal factors.

Risk Factors
The discussion of Avnet’s business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which the Company is or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect Avnet’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses in this press release certain non-GAAP financial information including adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, as well as revenue adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and other items (as defined in the Pro Forma (Organic) Revenue section of this release). Management believes pro forma revenue is a useful measure for evaluating current period performance as compared with prior periods and for understanding underlying trends.
Management believes that operating income adjusted for restructuring, integration and other items is a useful measure to help investors better assess and understand the Company’s operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of Avnet’s normal operating results. Management analyzes operating income without the impact of these items as an indicator of ongoing margin performance and underlying trends in the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes.
Management believes net income and EPS adjusted for the impact of the items described above is useful to investors because it provides a measure of the Company’s net profitability on a more comparable basis to historical periods and provides a more meaningful basis for forecasting future performance. Additionally, because of management’s focus on generating shareholder value, of which net profitability is a primary driver, management believes net income and EPS excluding the impact of these items provides an important measure of the Company’s net results of operations for the investing public.
Other metrics management monitors in its assessment of business performance include return on working capital (ROWC), return on capital employed (ROCE) and working capital velocity.
   
ROWC is defined as annualized operating income, excluding restructuring, integration and other items, divided by the sum of the monthly average balances of receivables and inventory less accounts payable.
 
   
Working capital velocity (“WC velocity”) is defined as annualized sales divided by the sum of the monthly average balances of accounts receivable and inventory less accounts payable.
 
   
ROCE is defined as annualized tax affected operating income, excluding restructuring, integration and other items, divided by the monthly average balances of interest-bearing debt and equity less cash and cash equivalents (“average capital”).
However, analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

a net increase in taxes of $3.1 million related an adjustment for a prior year tax return and additional tax reserves, net of a benefit from a favorable income tax audit settlement.

Pro Forma (Organic) Revenue
Pro forma or Organic revenue is defined as reported revenue adjusted for (i) the impact of acquisitions by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to include the sales of businesses acquired as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2010; (ii) the impact of the extra week of sales in the prior year first quarter due to the “52/53 week” fiscal year; and (iii) the impact of the transfer of the existing embedded business from TS Americas to EM Americas which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which did not have an impact to Avnet on a consolidated basis but did impact the groups by $98 million. Sales taking into account the combination of these adjustments is referred to as “pro forma sales” or “organic sales”.
Revenue adjusted for this impact is presented in the following table:
