1.    Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
CDW Corporation (“Parent”), a Fortune 500 company and member of the S&P 500 Index, is a leading multi-brand provider of information technology (“IT”) solutions to small, medium and large business, government, education and healthcare customers in the United States (“US”), the United Kingdom (“UK”) and Canada. The Company’s broad array of offerings ranges from discrete hardware and software products to integrated IT solutions and services that include on-premise and cloud capabilities across hybrid infrastructure, digital experience and security.
Throughout this report, the terms the “Company” and “CDW” refer to Parent and its 100% owned subsidiaries.
Parent has two 100% owned subsidiaries, CDW LLC and CDW Finance Corporation. CDW LLC is an Illinois limited liability company that, together with its 100% owned subsidiaries, holds all material assets and conducts all business activities and operations of the Company. CDW Finance Corporation is a Delaware corporation formed for the sole purpose of acting as co-issuer of certain debt obligations and does not hold any material assets or engage in any business activities or operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The unaudited results of operations for such interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “December 31, 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements”). The significant accounting policies and estimates used in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the December 31, 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Parent and its 100% owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
2.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This ASU requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose key terms of the programs and information about the obligations that are outstanding at the end of the reporting period. This disclosure requirement is intended to provide information about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs and their effect on the entity’s working capital, liquidity and cash flows. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted the standard during the first quarter of 2023 with the exception of the rollforward requirement, which will be adopted during the first quarter of 2024. The adoption of the standard only resulted in new disclosures for amounts presented within Accounts payable - inventory financing and did not affect the Company’s recognition, measurement

3.    Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances
Accounts Receivable
The following table details the total accounts receivable recognized and the related classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:
September 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Accounts receivable, current(1)
$4,418.5 $4,461.3 
Accounts receivable, noncurrent(2)

Total accounts receivable$4,552.1 $4,664.3 
(1)Accounts receivable, current are presented within Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2)Accounts receivable, noncurrent are presented within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
From time to time, the Company transfers certain accounts receivable, without recourse, to third-party financial companies as a method to reduce the Company’s credit exposure and accelerate cash collections. Such transfers are recognized as a sale and the related accounts receivable is derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet upon receipt of payment from the third-party financing company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company sold approximately $382 million and $445 million of accounts receivable, respectively.
Contract Balances
Contract assets and liabilities represent the difference in the timing of revenue recognition from receipt of cash from customers. Contract assets represent revenue recognized on performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied for which the Company has no unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities consist of payments received from customers, or such consideration that is contractually due, in advance of providing the product or performing services. The following table details information about the Company’s contract balances recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:
September 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Contract assets(1)
$134.2 $242.1 
Contract liabilities(2)(3)

(2)Includes $52 million and $40 million of long-term contract liabilities that are presented within Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(3)During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $293 million and $223 million, respectively, related to its contract liabilities that were included in the beginning balance of the respective periods.
A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The following table represents the total transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of September 30, 2023 related to non-cancelable contracts longer than 12 months in duration that is expected to be recognized over future periods.

4.    Inventory Financing Agreements
The Company has entered into agreements with financial institutions to facilitate the purchase of inventory from designated suppliers under certain terms and conditions to enhance liquidity. Under these agreements, the Company receives extended payment terms and agrees to pay the financial institution a stated amount of confirmed invoices from its designated suppliers. The Company does not incur any interest or other incremental expenses associated with these agreements as balances are paid when they are due. Additionally, the Company has no involvement in establishing the terms or conditions of the arrangements between its suppliers and the financial institution.
The amounts outstanding under these agreements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $620 million and $519 million, respectively, and are separately presented as Accounts payable-inventory financing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The majority of such outstanding amounts relates to a floorplan sub-facility that is incorporated in the Company’s Revolving Loan Facility, as defined within Note 6 (Debt). A portion of the Company’s availability under the Revolving Loan Facility is reserved to cover the obligation to pay the financial institution. For additional information regarding the Revolving Loan Facility, see Note 6 (Debt).
5.    Financial Instruments
The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s indebtedness creates interest rate risk on its variable-rate debt. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. For additional information, see Note 6 (Debt).
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company executed interest rate collar agreements for a total notional value of $400 million. The terms of the agreements provide for a contractually specified interest rate cap and an interest rate floor based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The Company receives payment from the counterparty if SOFR is greater than the cap or pays the counterparty if SOFR is below the floor. If SOFR is between the floor and cap, no payment is due to either party.
As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate collar agreements were classified within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for which the fair value was not material. The total notional amount of the interest rate collar agreements was $400 million as of September 30, 2023, which mature on September 30, 2026. There were no outstanding derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2022.
The fair values of the Company’s interest rate collar agreements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the interest rate collar agreements is derived using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash receipts or cash disbursements that would occur if variable interest rates rise above or fall below the strike rates of the interest rate cap and interest rate floor, respectively. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate collar agreements, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including SOFR curves and implied volatilities. The Company also incorporates insignificant credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The counterparty credit spreads are based on publicly available credit information obtained from a third-party credit data provider.
The interest rate collars are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and are subsequently reclassified into Interest expense, net in the period when the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the change in fair value for the effective portion of the derivative financial instruments and the reclassification from AOCL to Interest expense, net was not material.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company is in compliance with the covenants under its credit agreements and indentures.
Credit Facility
The Company has a variable rate senior unsecured revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) from which it may draw tranches denominated in US dollars, British pounds or Euros. On June 7, 2023, the Revolving Loan Facility was amended to replace the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) with SOFR as the interest rate benchmark, which was effective for the first interest rate period beginning after July 1, 2023. Under the amended agreement, the interest rate is based on SOFR plus a spread adjustment and a margin based on the Company’s senior unsecured rating. The Revolving Loan Facility is used by the Company for borrowings, issuances of letters of credit and floorplan financing. As of September 30, 2023, the Company could have borrowed up to an additional $0.9 billion under the Revolving Loan Facility. As of September 30, 2023, the Revolving Loan Facility had $658 million reserved for the floorplan sub-facility.
Term Loan
The senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) has a variable interest rate. On June 7, 2023, the Term Loan Facility was amended to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the interest rate benchmark, which was effective for the first interest rate period beginning after July 1, 2023. Under the amended agreement, the interest rate is based on SOFR plus a spread adjustment and a margin based on the Company’s senior unsecured rating. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company prepaid $100 million on the Term Loan Facility without penalty. As a result of the prepayments made to date, no additional mandatory payments are required on the remaining principal amount until its maturity date on December 1, 2026.

CDW CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Unsecured Senior Notes
The unsecured senior notes have a fixed interest rate, which is paid semi-annually.
Receivable Financing
The receivable financing liability relates to certain accounts receivable transferred to third-party financial institutions that did not qualify as a sale under the terms of the agreements. While the terms of such agreements are on a nonrecourse basis, the transfers of accounts receivable could not achieve certain criteria that would allow derecognition of the accounts receivable. The proceeds from these arrangements are recognized as a liability and the associated accounts receivable remains on the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the liability is settled. The Company did not execute any transfers under these agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Fair Value
The fair values of the unsecured senior notes were estimated using quoted market prices for identical liabilities that are traded in over-the-counter secondary markets. The fair value of the Term Loan Facility was estimated using dealer quotes and other market observable inputs for comparable liabilities. The unsecured senior notes and Term Loan Facility were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the Revolving Loan Facility approximates fair value.
The approximate fair values and related carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding unamortized discount and unamortized deferred financing costs, were as follows:
September 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Fair value$5,189.0 $5,412.6 
Carrying value5,731.8 5,959.0 
7.    Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $104 million and $101 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate, expressed by calculating the income tax expense as a percentage of Income before income taxes, was 24.8% and 25.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Income tax expense was $261 million and $279 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate, expressed by calculating the income tax expense as a percentage of Income before income taxes, was 24.4% and 25.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state and local income taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.

8.    Earnings Per Share
The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings per share is Net income. The denominator for basic earnings per share is the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.
A reconciliation of basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2023202220232022
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding134.1135.3134.8135.1 
Effect of dilutive securities(1)
1.81.81.61.8 
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding(2)
135.9137.1136.4136.9 
(1)The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units and Coworker Stock Purchase Plan units is reflected in the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.
(2)There were fewer than 0.2 million potential common shares excluded from diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Inclusion of these common shares in diluted weighted average shares outstanding would have had an anti-dilutive effect.
9.    Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business, which include commercial, intellectual property, employment, tort and other litigation matters. The Company is also subject to audit by federal, state, international, national, provincial and local authorities, and by various partners, group purchasing organizations and customers, including government agencies, relating to purchases and sales under various contracts. In addition, the Company is subject to indemnification claims under various contracts. From time to time, certain customers of the Company file voluntary petitions for reorganization or liquidation under the US bankruptcy laws or similar laws of the jurisdictions for the Company’s business activities outside of the US. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the Company could be considered preference items and subject to return to the bankruptcy administrator.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for these proceedings and matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.
A subsidiary of the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand dated September 20, 2021 from the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with a False Claims Act investigation. The DOJ requested information related to teaming agreements with original equipment manufacturers and the Company is cooperating with the DOJ. At this stage of the matter, the Company is unable to assess the probability of any outcome or the range of possible loss, if any.

10.    Segment Information
The Company’s segment information reflects the way the chief operating decision maker uses internal reporting to evaluate business performance, allocate resources and manage operations.
The Company has three reportable segments: Corporate, which is comprised primarily of private sector business customers with more than 250 employees in the US, Small Business, primarily servicing private sector business customers with up to 250 employees in the US, and Public, which is comprised of government agencies and education and healthcare institutions in the US. The Company has two other operating segments: CDW UK and CDW Canada, both of which do not meet the reportable segment quantitative thresholds and, accordingly, are included in an all other category (“Other”).
The Company has centralized logistics and headquarters functions that provide services to the segments. The logistics function includes purchasing, distribution and fulfillment services to support the Corporate, Small Business and Public segments. As a result, costs and intercompany charges associated with the logistics function are fully allocated to all of these segments based on a percent of Net sales. The centralized headquarters function provides services in areas such as accounting, information technology, marketing, legal and coworker services. Headquarters function costs that are not allocated to the segments are included under the heading of “Headquarters” in the tables below.
Information about the Company’s segments is as follows:
