NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

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 March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (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, 2023 (the “December 31, 2023 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, 2023 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 December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU enhances existing income tax disclosures primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the amendments on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses included in a segment’s profit or loss measure on an annual and interim basis. The ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim

(dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Entities are required to apply the amendments on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its disclosures.

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:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Accounts receivable, current(1)	$	4,310.4	$	4,567.5
Accounts receivable, noncurrent(2)	405.1		337.5
Total accounts receivable	$	4,715.5	$	4,905.0

(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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold approximately $93 million and $124 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:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Contract assets(1)	$	95.5	$	111.8
Contract liabilities(2)(3)	507.6		527.4

(1)Contract assets are presented within Prepaid expenses and other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2)Includes $38 million and $40 million of long-term contract liabilities that are presented within Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(3)During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $175 million and $190 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 March 31, 2024 related to non-cancelable contracts longer than 12 months in duration that is expected to be recognized over future periods.


	Within 1 Year		Years 1-2		Years 2-3		Thereafter
Remaining performance obligations	$	98.6	$	56.3	$	28.4	$	8.3

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 institutions a stated amount of confirmed invoices

Table of Contents

CDW CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

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 institutions.

The amounts outstanding under these agreements as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $385 million and $431 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).

The Company has interest rate collar agreements that 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. There were no new interest rate collar agreements executed during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the interest rate collar agreements were classified within Long-term liabilities - Other liabilities 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and these agreements mature on September 30, 2026.

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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 March 31, 2024, 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. 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 March 31, 2024, the Company could have borrowed up to an additional $1.3 billion under the Revolving Loan Facility. As of March 31, 2024, the Revolving Loan Facility had $348 million reserved for the floorplan sub-facility.

Term Loan

The senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) has a variable interest rate. The interest rate is based on SOFR plus a spread adjustment and a margin based on the Company’s senior unsecured rating. No mandatory payments are required on the remaining principal amount until its maturity date on December 1, 2026.

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

Table of Contents

CDW CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

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 three months ended March 31, 2024.

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:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Fair value	$	5,320.4	$	5,348.2
Carrying value	5,658.7		5,673.3

7. Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $61 million and $66 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate, expressed by calculating the income tax expense as a percentage of Income before income taxes, was 21.9% and 22.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The effective tax rate for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 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 March 31,
		2024	2023
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding		134.4	135.6
Effect of dilutive securities(1)		1.6	1.7
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding(2)		136.0	137.3

(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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. 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-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

petition payments received by the Company could be considered preference items and subject to return to the bankruptcy administrator.

As of March 31, 2024, 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 US 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.

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:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, as used in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the terms “we,” “us,” “the Company,” “our,” “CDW” and similar terms refer to CDW Corporation and its subsidiaries. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report and with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this discussion.

Overview

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. Our 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.

We are vendor, technology and consumption model unbiased, with a solutions portfolio including more than 100,000 products and services from more than 1,000 leading and emerging brands. Our solutions are delivered in physical, virtual and cloud-based environments through approximately 10,900 customer-facing coworkers, including sellers, highly-skilled technology specialists and advanced service delivery engineers. We are a leading sales channel partner for many original equipment manufacturers, software publishers and cloud providers (collectively, our “vendor partners”), whose products we sell or include in the solutions we offer. We provide our vendor partners with a cost-effective way to reach customers and deliver a consistent brand experience through our established end-market coverage, technical expertise and extensive customer access.

We have three reportable segments, Corporate, Small Business and Public. Our Corporate segment primarily serves US private sector business customers with more than 250 employees. Our Small Business segment primarily serves US private sector business customers with up to 250 employees. Our Public segment is comprised of government agencies and education and healthcare institutions in the US. We also have two other operating segments: CDW UK and CDW Canada, each of which do not meet the reportable segment quantitative thresholds and, accordingly, are included in an all other category (“Other”).

We may sell all or only select products that our vendor partners offer. Each vendor partner agreement provides for specific terms and conditions, which may include one or more of the following: product return privileges, price protection policies, purchase discounts and vendor incentive programs, such as purchase or sales rebates and cooperative advertising reimbursements. We also resell software for major software publishers. Our agreements with software publishers allow the end-user customer to acquire software or licensed products and services. In addition to helping our customers determine the best software solutions for their needs, we help them manage their software agreements, including warranties and renewals. A significant portion of our advertising and marketing expenses are reimbursed through cooperative advertising programs with our vendor partners. These programs are at the discretion of our vendor partners and are typically tied to sales or other commitments to be met by us within a specified period of time.

Trends and Key Factors Affecting our Financial Performance

We believe the following key factors may have a meaningful impact on our business performance, influencing our ability to generate sales and achieve our targeted financial and operating results:

•General economic conditions are a key factor affecting our results as they can impact our customers’ willingness and ability to spend on information technology. Macroeconomic uncertainty persists as a result of the current inflationary environment and corresponding heightened levels of interest rates driven by monetary policy. The uncertainty in the current economic environment resulted in, and may continue to result in, a delay, pause or reduction of investments in technology by our customers.

•Customers continue to balance priorities to focus on solutions that lead to business optimization, cost management and security risk management and in many cases are reassessing the timing of IT refresh cycles and pausing or deferring their IT spend. We have orchestrated solutions by leveraging security, software and hybrid and cloud offerings to help customers achieve their objectives.

•Changes in spending policies, budget priorities, timing and funding levels, including current and future stimulus packages, are key factors influencing the purchasing levels of government, healthcare and education customers. As the duration and ongoing impact of current economic conditions remain uncertain, current and future budget priorities and

Table of Contents

funding levels for government, healthcare and education customers may be adversely affected, leading to lower IT spend.

•Technology trends drive customer purchasing behaviors in the market. Current technology trends are focused on delivering greater flexibility and efficiency, as well as designing and managing IT securely. These trends are driving customer adoption of solutions such as cloud, generative artificial intelligence, software defined architectures and hybrid on-premise and off-premise combinations. The trends are further driven by the evolution of the IT consumption model to more “as a service” offerings, including software as a service and infrastructure as a service, in addition to ongoing managed and professional service arrangements. Technology trends are likely to evolve as customers prioritize spend that will produce the most important outcomes for their business.

Key Business Metrics

We monitor a number of financial and non-financial measures and ratios on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business and make adjustments as necessary. Financial measures include both US GAAP and Non-GAAP measures. We believe that the most important of these measures and ratios include Gross profit, Gross profit margin, Operating income, Operating income margin, Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Net income, Non-GAAP net income, Net income per diluted share, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, average daily sales, change in Net sales on a constant currency basis, Adjusted free cash flow, Cash and cash equivalents, cash conversion cycle and debt levels including available credit. These measures and ratios are closely monitored by management, so that actions can be taken, as necessary, in order to achieve financial objectives.

For the definitions, discussion of management’s use of Non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure, see “Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations.”

Income tax expense	(60.5)			(66.2)			(8.6)
Net income	$	216.1		$	230.1		(6.1)	%

Net sales

Total Net sales decreased $230 million, or 4.5%, to $4,873 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5,103 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decline in Net sales occurred across all operating segments. Continued economic uncertainty has led customers to be cautious and measured in their approach to technology spending, resulting in a reduction or delay in their spend. For additional information, see the “Segment Results of Operations” below.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased $26 million, or 2.4%, to $1,063 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,089 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Gross profit margin increased 50 basis points to 21.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in Gross profit margin was primarily driven by a more favorable contribution of netted down revenue, primarily software as a service, partially offset by lower product margin due to a higher mix of notebooks/mobile devices.

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $1 million, or 0.2%, to $735 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $734 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to workplace optimization costs, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation.

Operating income

Operating income decreased $27 million, or 7.7%, to $328 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $355 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net includes interest expense and interest income. Interest expense, net, decreased $6 million, or 11.1%, to $51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $58 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher interest income earned on cash balances and lower debt levels, partially offset by a higher variable interest rate on the senior unsecured term loan.

Income tax expense

Table of Contents

The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily attributable to higher excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.

Corporate

Corporate segment Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $68 million, or 3.1%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in Net sales was primarily due to a decrease in sales of netcomm products, partially offset by an increase in sales of notebooks/mobile devices. As a result, Gross profit dollars also decreased although partially offset by a higher contribution of netted down revenue.

Table of Contents

Corporate segment Operating income was $178 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $15 million, or 7.9%, compared to $193 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Corporate segment Operating income decreased primarily due to lower Gross profit dollars, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation, lower amortization expense on acquired intangible assets and integration expenses.

Small Business

Small Business segment Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $31 million, or 7.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in Net sales was across various hardware categories. Gross profit dollars were higher due to a higher contribution of netted down revenue.

Small Business segment Operating income was $47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $5 million, or 12.0%, compared to $42 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Small Business segment Operating income increased primarily due to higher Gross profit dollars and lower bad debt expense for reduced expected credit losses.

Public

Public segment Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $88 million, or 4.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in Net sales was primarily due to a decrease in netcomm products across all sales channels and a decrease in collaboration within Education, partially offset by an increase in notebooks/mobile devices across all sales channels. As a result, Gross profit dollars also decreased although partially offset by a higher contribution of netted down revenue.

Public segment Operating income was $126 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was a decrease of $2 million, or 1.2%, compared to $128 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Public segment Operating income remained relatively consistent primarily due to lower Gross profit dollars, partially offset by lower bad debt expense for reduced expected credit losses, amortization expense on acquired intangible assets and integration expenses.

Other

Net sales in Other, which is comprised of results from our UK and Canadian operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $44 million, or 6.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in Net sales was driven by lower software sales within the UK operations, resulting in lower Gross profit dollars.

Other Operating income was $25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was a decrease of $11 million or 30.7%, compared to $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Other Operating income decreased primarily due to lower Gross profit dollars related to the UK operations, less favorable expected credit losses and increased transformation initiative expense, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations

Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance or financial condition 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 US GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used by management may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

Our non-GAAP performance measures include Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share and Net sales on a constant currency basis, and our non-GAAP financial condition measures include Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow. These non-GAAP performance measures and non-GAAP financial condition measures are collectively referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures.”

Non-GAAP operating income excludes, among other things, charges related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, equity-based compensation and the associated payroll taxes, acquisition and integration expenses, transformation initiatives and workplace optimization. Non-GAAP operating income margin is defined as Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of Net sales. Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP net income per diluted share excludes, among other things, charges related to acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, transformation initiatives, workplace optimization and the associated tax effects of each. Net sales on a constant currency basis is defined as Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation on Net sales. Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as Free cash flow adjusted to include certain cash flows from financing activities incurred in the normal course of operations or as capital expenditures.

Table of Contents

We believe our non-GAAP performance measures provide analysts, investors and management with useful information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business, as they remove the impact of items that management believes are not reflective of underlying operating performance. Management uses these measures to evaluate period-over-period performance as management believes they provide a more comparable measure of the underlying business. We also present non-GAAP financial condition measures as we believe they provide analysts, investors and management with more information regarding our liquidity and capital resources. Certain non-GAAP financial measures are also used to determine certain components of performance-based compensation.

We have included reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 below.

Seasonality

While we have not historically experienced significant seasonality throughout the year, sales in our Public segment have historically been higher in the second and third quarter than in other quarters primarily due to the buying patterns of education and government customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our operations and capital expenditures with cash from operations and borrowings under our variable rate senior unsecured revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”). As of March 31, 2024, we had $1.3 billion of availability for borrowings under our Revolving Loan Facility. Our liquidity and borrowing plans are established to align with our financial and strategic planning processes and ensure we have the necessary funding to meet our operating commitments, which primarily include the purchase of inventory, payroll and general expenses. We also take into consideration our overall capital allocation strategy, which includes dividend payments, assessment of debt levels, acquisitions and share repurchases. We believe we have adequate sources of liquidity and funding available for at least the next year; however, there are a number of factors that may negatively impact our available sources of funds. The amount of cash generated from operations will be dependent upon factors such as the successful execution of our business plan, general economic conditions and working capital management.

Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024, we had total unsecured indebtedness of $5.6 billion, and we were in compliance with the covenants under our credit agreements and indentures.

We may from time to time repurchase one or more series of our outstanding unsecured senior notes, depending on market conditions, contractual commitments, our capital needs and other factors. Repurchases of our senior notes may be made by open market or privately negotiated transactions and may be pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise.

For additional information regarding our debt and refinancing activities, see Note 6 (Debt) to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

Inventory Financing Agreements

We have entered into agreements with certain financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of inventory from various suppliers under certain terms and conditions to enhance liquidity. These amounts are classified separately as Accounts payable-inventory financing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not incur any interest expense or other incremental expenses associated with these agreements as balances are paid when they are due. For additional information, see Note 4 (Inventory Financing Agreements) to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 0.2 million shares of our common stock for $52 million under the previously announced share repurchase program. For additional information on our share repurchase program, see “Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”

The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, business prospects, capital requirements, contractual restrictions (including in current or future agreements governing our indebtedness), restrictions imposed by applicable law, tax considerations and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

(1)Includes items such as depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, provision for credit losses and equity-based compensation expense.

(2)The change is primarily due to lower sales activity in 2024, partially offset by collection performance.

(3)The change is primarily due to lower sales activity in 2024, partially offset by timing of payments.

In order to manage our working capital and operating cash needs, we monitor our cash conversion cycle, defined as days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable plus days of supply in inventory minus days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable, based on a rolling three-month average. Components of our cash conversion cycle are as follows:


	March 31,
(in days)	2024	2023
Days of sales outstanding (DSO)(1)	75	72
Days of supply in inventory (DIO)(2)	14	15
Days of purchases outstanding (DPO)(3)	(73)	(69)
Cash conversion cycle	16	18

(1)Represents the rolling three-month average of the balance of Accounts receivable, net at the end of the period, divided by average daily Net sales for the same three-month period. Also incorporates components of other miscellaneous receivables.

(2)Represents the rolling three-month average of the balance of Merchandise inventory at the end of the period divided by average daily Cost of sales for the same three-month period.

(3)Represents the rolling three-month average of the combined balance of Accounts payable-trade, excluding cash overdrafts, and Accounts payable-inventory financing at the end of the period divided by average daily Cost of sales for the same three-month period.

The cash conversion cycle decreased to 16 days at March 31, 2024, compared to 18 days at March 31, 2023. The overall decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in DIO resulting from lower stocking positions. In addition, netted down revenue has an unfavorable impact to DSO and a favorable impact to DPO as the corresponding receivables and payables reflect the gross amounts due from customers and due to vendors while the corresponding sales and cost of sales are reflected on a net basis within Net sales. The change in DPO was further impacted by the timing of payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to higher acquisition activity in 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $156 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by lower share repurchases and lower repayments on long term debt in 2024, partially offset by decreased activity associated with inventory financing arrangements. For additional information regarding the inventory financing agreements and debt activities, see Note 4 (Inventory Financing Agreements) and Note 6 (Debt) to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
