MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct 28, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ARW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- -- Cash Flow from Operations in Excess of $110 Million --

Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today reported third-quarter 2009 net income of $12.6 million ($.10 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) on sales of $3.67 billion, compared with net income of $76.1 million ($.64 and $.63 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) on sales of $4.30 billion in the third quarter of 2008.

The company's results for the third quarters of 2009 and 2008 include a number of items outlined below that impact their comparability. A complete reconciliation of these items is provided under the heading "Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information." Excluding those items, on a non-GAAP basis, net income for the quarter ended October 3, 2009, would have been $44.9 million ($.37 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, would have been $83.7 million ($.70 per share on both a basic and diluted basis).

"Our execution this quarter was excellent, exceeding our expectations for revenue, earnings per share, and cash flow. We continue to control well those things that we can, no matter the economic environment," said Michael J. Long, chief executive officer. "We continued to deliver on our commitment to simplify the business while remaining focused on our long-term goals to maximize sales and profitable market share growth."

Global components sales of $2.54 billion decreased 15 percent year over year. "Global components revenue exceeded our expectations with double-digit increases sequentially across all geographies. Year-over-year sales declines have begun to moderate in both North America and Europe, and Asia continues to post sales gains. We are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the marketplace and will continue to grow profits and gain market share across this business," Mr. Long said.

Global enterprise computing solutions ("ECS") sales of $1.13 billion decreased 14 percent year over year. "ECS sales were ahead of the midpoint of our expectations and above normal seasonality, fueled by a strong federal government year-end, as well as sequential increases in storage and services. In our worldwide server business the year-over-year declines have moderated," Mr. Long said.

The company's results for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 include the items outlined below that impact their comparability:

-- During the third quarter of 2009, the company recorded restructuring and integration charges of $37.6 million ($29.1 million net of related taxes or $.24 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) primarily related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies. These charges are part of the company's cost reduction initiatives announced in the fourth quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2009, which are expected to be $275 million in permanent and temporary annual savings.

-- During the third quarter of 2009, the company recorded a loss on prepayment of debt of $5.3 million ($3.2 million net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) related to the repurchase of $130.5 million principal amount of its 9.15% senior notes due 2010.

-- During the third quarter of 2008, the company recorded restructuring and integration charges of $11.0 million ($7.6 million net of related taxes or $.06 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) primarily related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies.

NINE-MONTH RESULTS

Arrow's net income for the first nine months of 2009 was $60.4 million ($.50 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) on sales of $10.5 billion, compared with net income of $258.2 million ($2.13 and $2.11 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) on sales of $12.7 billion in the first nine months of 2008.

Net income for the first nine months of 2009 includes restructuring and integration charges of $80.9 million ($61.3 million net of related taxes or $.51 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) primarily related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies and a loss on prepayment of debt of $5.3 million ($3.2 million net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) related to the repurchase of $130.5 million principal amount of its 9.15% senior notes due 2010. Excluding these items, net income would have been $124.9 million ($1.04 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the first nine months of 2009.

Net income for the first nine months of 2008 includes restructuring and integration charges of $25.7 million ($17.7 million net of related taxes or $.15 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) primarily related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies and a charge, including legal fees, related to a preference claim from 2001 of $12.9 million ($7.8 million net of related taxes or $.06 per share on both a basic and diluted basis). Excluding these items, net income would have been $283.7 million ($2.34 and $2.32 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) for the first nine months of 2008.

GUIDANCE

"Looking ahead, we believe that total fourth-quarter sales will be between $3.65 and $4.25 billion, with global component sales between $2.25 and $2.65 billion and global enterprise computing solutions sales between $1.4 and $1.6 billion. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding any charges, are expected to be in the range of $.44 to $.56," said Paul J. Reilly, executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Arrow Electronics (www.arrow.com) is a global provider of products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions. Headquartered in Melville, N.Y., Arrow serves as a supply channel partner for approximately 800 suppliers and 130,000 original equipment manufacturers, contract manufacturers and commercial customers through a global network of more than 340 locations in 53 countries and territories.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information relating to operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted share, each as adjusted for certain charges, credits and losses that the company believes impact the comparability of its results of operations. These charges, credits and losses arise out of the company's efficiency enhancement initiatives, prepayment of debt, and certain legal matters. A reconciliation of the company's non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the table below.

The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company's operating performance and underlying trends in the company's business because management considers the charges, credits and losses referred to above to be outside the company's core operating results. This non-GAAP financial information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company's financial and operating performance. In addition, the company's Board of Directors may use this non-GAAP financial information in evaluating management performance and setting management compensation.

The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or alternative to, operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.
