“We closed out the fiscal year with a strong quarter as organic revenue grew 8.4% year over year in constant currency with all three regions contributing to the growth.  In our EMEA region, where our electronic components group continues to grow faster than the market, revenue increased 32% in constant currency and organic revenue was up 17%,” said Bill Amelio, CEO of Avnet. “Our digital initiatives continue to gain traction as Premier Farnell’s Element 14 community surpassed 500 thousand members and we continue to add over 30 thousand new digital customers each month.  We are seeing meaningful improvement in demand creation metrics as we redeploy field application engineers to new products and suppliers that value the reach and technical breadth we bring to high growth markets.  With our digital ecosystem growing steadily and as we realize the positive impacts from our transformation initiatives, we enter fiscal 2018 positioned to drive further organic growth and improve financial performance.”

 

Segment Reporting

 Outlook for First Quarter of Fiscal 2018 Ending on September 30, 2017

 

·

Sales are expected to be in the range of $4.15 billion to $4.45 billion

o

This sales outlook reflects the net impact from supplier channel consolidation.  Excluding the impact of supplier channel consolidation, the midpoint of guidance would be at the low end of the Company’s seasonal range

·

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.67 to $0.77 per share

·

The guidance assumes 125 million average diluted shares outstanding and an adjusted tax rate of 23% to 27%

 

The above guidance excludes any additional acquisitions, any results of discontinued operations,  amortization of intangibles, accelerated depreciation, any potential restructuring, integration, and other expenses and certain income tax adjustments. In addition, the above guidance assumes that the average U.S. Dollar to Euro currency exchange rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 is $1.14 to €1.00. This compares with an average exchange rate of $1.12 to the Euro in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

 

Refer to Exhibit 99.2 for a complete reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

In February 2017, Avnet completed the sale of its Technology Solutions business to Tech Data Corporation.  As a result, the historical results and the gain on sale of the TS business are considered discontinued operations.
