VERNON HILLS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 16, 2011--CDW Corporation, a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to business, government and education, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2010 results.
“2010 was a record year for sales, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA. By staying focused on the customer throughout the downturn, we were able to grow significantly faster than the IT market when customer spending picked up,” said John A. Edwardson, chairman and chief executive officer. “I’m particularly proud of our 6200 plus coworkers, who provide industry leading customer service and delivered significant productivity improvements in 2010 as measured by sales per coworker.”
“We achieved strong double digit revenue growth across our corporate and public segments, and in our hardware, software and services categories,” continued Thomas E. Richards, president and chief operating officer. “We delivered these strong top-line results while improving our Adjusted EBITDA margin from 6.5 percent in 2009 to 6.8 percent in 2010 and making investments in the business and coworkers.”
“As we enter 2011, we plan to accelerate our investment in selling resources and service delivery capabilities so that we continue to profitably outpace market growth,” added Edwardson.
Fourth Quarter of 2010:
Total sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $2.269 billion compared to $1.964 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 15.5 percent. Average daily sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $36.0 million compared to $31.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, also representing a 15.5 percent increase. There were 63 billing days in both the fourth quarter of 2010 and the fourth quarter of 2009.
- Total Corporate segment sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $1.299 billion compared to $1.087 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 19.5 percent. Sales growth in the Corporate segment was driven by strong performance in both the Medium/Large sales channel and our Small Business sales channel.
- Total Public segment sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $858 million compared to $790 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 8.6 percent. Sales growth in our Public segment was led by especially strong performance in our Healthcare sales channel.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $356.8 million compared to $302.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 17.9 percent. Gross profit margin was 15.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 15.4 percent in the same period of 2009, as the year-over-year gross margin percent improved for the third consecutive quarter. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to favorable price/mix.
Total SG+A including Advertising expense was $275.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $244.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 12.9 percent. The increase in total SG+A expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010 was primarily due to increased sales and other variable compensation costs such as incentive bonuses consistent with higher sales and gross profit along with increased advertising expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $145.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $120.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 20.9 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 6.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The company was able to take advantage of favorable credit markets in the fourth quarter to issue $500 million of 8% senior secured notes due 2018, the proceeds of which issuance were used to pay down the company’s Term Loan due 2014. In addition, the company was able simultaneously to extend the maturity of $1.1 billion of its remaining Term Loan from 2014 to 2017. The combination of these transactions reduced the company’s 2014-2015 aggregate debt maturities from $3.4 billion to $1.7 billion which provides the company with additional financial flexibility.
Full Year 2010:
Total sales for 2010 were an all time record $8.801 billion, compared to $7.163 billion in 2009, an increase of 22.9 percent. Average daily sales for 2010 were $34.7 million compared to $28.2 million in 2009, also representing a 22.9 percent increase. There were 254 billing days in both 2010 and 2009.
- Total Corporate segment sales in 2010 were $4.834 billion compared to $3.818 billion in 2009, representing an increase of 26.6 percent. Sales growth in the Corporate segment was driven by strong performance in both our Medium/Large sales channel and the Small Business sales channel.
- Total Public segment sales in 2010 were $3.561 billion compared to $3.035 billion in 2009, representing an increase of 17.3 percent. Sales growth in the Public segment was lead by especially strong performance in our Healthcare sales channel.
- Major product categories that achieved some of the strongest year-over-year growth in 2010 were software, netcomm, and notebook/mobile devices.
Gross profit for 2010 was $1.391 billion compared to $1.133 billion in 2009, representing an increase of 22.8 percent. Gross profit margin was 15.8 percent in both 2010 and 2009, as the year-over-year gross margin percent improved in the last three quarters of 2010, after a challenging comparison in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in gross profit margin in the last three quarters of the year was primarily due to favorable price/mix.
Total SG+A including Advertising expense was $1038.1 million in 2010 as compared to $923.0 million in 2009, representing an increase of 12.5 percent. The increase in total SG+A expenses in 2010 was primarily due to increased sales and other variable compensation costs such as incentive bonuses consistent with higher sales and gross profit.
Adjusted EBITDA reached an all time record $601.8 million in 2010 compared to $465.4 million in 2009, representing an increase of 29.3 percent. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.8 percent in 2010 compared to 6.5 percent in 2009.

We have included reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure defined in our credit agreements, means EBITDA adjusted for certain items which are described in the table below. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide helpful information with respect to our operating performance and cash flows including our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA also provides helpful information as it is the primary measure used in certain financial covenants contained in our credit agreements. |
