(unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

WESCO International, Inc. ("WESCO International") and its subsidiaries (collectively, “WESCO” or the "Company"), headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a leading provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services and supply chain solutions.

On June 22, 2020, WESCO completed its previously announced acquisition of Anixter International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Anixter”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 10, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Anixter, WESCO and Warrior Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of WESCO (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged with and into Anixter (the “Merger”), with Anixter surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of WESCO.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of WESCO have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in WESCO’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2020. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented herein. All adjustments reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information are of a normal recurring nature unless indicated. The results for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the third quarter of 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Anixter, the Company identified new operating segments. These operating segments, which have been organized around three strategic business units, consist of Electrical & Electronic Solutions ("EES"), Communications & Security Solutions ("CSS") and Utility & Broadband Solutions ("UBS"). The Company's operating segments, which are equivalent to its reportable segments, are described further in Note 14. The applicable comparative financial information reported in the Company's previously issued interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 has been recast in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform to the basis of the new segments.

Reclassifications

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, include certain reclassifications to previously reported amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on certain financial instruments. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new credit loss guidance did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein, and WESCO does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operation on an ongoing basis.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends the disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements by removing, modifying and adding certain disclosures.

The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends the disclosure requirements for all employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other post retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Management does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact related to the replacement of London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and whether the Company will elect the adoption of the optional guidance.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to WESCO’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(1) WESCO attributes revenues from external customers to individual countries on the basis of point of sale.

In accordance with certain contractual arrangements, WESCO receives payment from its customers in advance and recognizes such payment as deferred revenue. Revenue for advance payment is recognized when the performance obligation has been satisfied and control has transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. Deferred revenue is usually recognized within a year or less from the date of the customer’s advance payment. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $27.7 million and $12.3 million, respectively, of deferred revenue was recorded as a component of other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

WESCO’s revenues are adjusted for variable consideration, which includes customer volume rebates, returns, and discounts. WESCO measures variable consideration by estimating expected outcomes using analysis and inputs based upon anticipated performance, historical data, as well as current and forecasted information. Measurement and recognition of variable consideration is reviewed by management on a monthly basis and revenue is adjusted accordingly. Variable consideration reduced revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 by approximately $75.4 million and $26.3 million, respectively, and by approximately $129.0 million and $80.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Shipping and handling activities are recognized in net sales when they are billed to the customer. The related costs are recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. WESCO has elected to recognize shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost. Shipping and handling costs recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $55.5 million and $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $94.4 million and $52.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

4. ACQUISITIONS

Anixter International Inc.

As described in Note 1, on June 22, 2020, WESCO completed its previously announced merger with Anixter. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of senior unsecured notes, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facility (as described further in Note 8), as well as cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of Anixter and related transaction costs.

At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Anixter (subject to limited exceptions) was converted into the right to receive (i) $72.82 in cash, (ii) 0.2397 shares of common stock of WESCO, par value $0.01 per share (the “WESCO Common Stock”) and (iii) 0.6356 depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of newly issued fixed-rate reset cumulative perpetual preferred stock of WESCO, Series A, with a $25,000 stated amount per whole preferred share and an initial dividend rate equal to 10.625%.

Anixter is a leading distributor of network and security solutions, electrical and electronic solutions, and utility power solutions with locations in over 300 cities across approximately 50 countries, and 2019 annual sales of more than $8 billion. The Merger brought together two companies with highly compatible capabilities and characteristics. The combination of WESCO and Anixter created an enterprise with scale and should afford the Company the opportunity to digitize its business, and expand its services portfolio and supply chain offerings.

The total preliminary estimated fair value of consideration transferred for the Merger consisted of the following:


	(In thousands)
Cash portion attributable to common stock outstanding	$	2,476,010
Cash portion attributable to options and restricted stock units outstanding	87,375
Fair value of cash consideration	2,563,385
Common stock consideration	313,512
Series A preferred stock consideration	573,786
Fair value of equity consideration	887,298
Extinguishment of Anixter obligations, including accrued and unpaid interest	1,247,653
Total purchase consideration	$	4,698,336
Supplemental cash flow disclosure related to acquisitions:
Cash paid for acquisition	$	3,811,038
Less: Cash acquired	(103,463)
Cash paid for acquisition, net of cash acquired	$	3,707,575

The Merger was accounted for as a business combination with WESCO acquiring Anixter in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase consideration was allocated to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective acquisition date fair value, with any excess allocated to goodwill. The fair value estimates were based on income, market and cost valuation methods using primarily unobservable inputs developed by management, which are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Significant inputs used to value the identifiable intangible assets included projected revenues, estimated future cash flows, discount rates, royalty rates, and applicable income tax rates. The excess purchase consideration recorded to goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes, and has been assigned to the Company's reportable segments based on their relative fair values, as disclosed in Note 5. The resulting goodwill is primarily attributable to Anixter's workforce, significant cross-selling opportunities in additional geographies, enhanced scale, and other operational efficiencies.

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized adjustments to total identifiable intangible assets and deferred income taxes of $5.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Certain other measurement period adjustments were made to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, none of which were significant, individually or in aggregate. The net impact of the adjustments made in the third quarter of 2020 was a decrease to goodwill of $7.6 million.

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary calculations and valuations using estimates and assumptions at the time of acquisition. The determination of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially those related to identifiable intangible assets, is preliminary due to the complexity of combining multibillion dollar businesses. Accordingly, as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the acquisition date), estimates and assumptions for the preliminary purchase consideration allocations may change materially.
