PART I

Item 1. Business

Avnet, Inc., incorporated in New York in 1955, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Avnet”), is a global value-added distributor of electronic components, enterprise computer and storage products, IT solutions and services and embedded subsystems. Avnet creates a vital link in the technology supply chain that connects the world’s leading electronic component and computer product manufacturers and software developers with a global customer base of original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) providers, original design manufacturers (“ODMs”), systems integrators ("SIs"), independent software vendors ("ISVs") and value-added resellers (“VARs”). Avnet distributes electronic components, computer products and software, as received from its suppliers or through a customized solution, and offers assembly and other value-added services. In addition, Avnet provides engineering design, materials management and logistics services, system integration and configuration and supply chain services customized to meet specific requirements of customers and suppliers.

Organizational Structure

Avnet has two primary operating groups — Electronics Marketing (“EM”) and Technology Solutions (“TS”). Both operating groups have operations in each of the three major economic regions of the world: the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia/Pacific, consisting of Asia, Australia and New Zealand (“Asia” or “Asia/Pac”). Each operating group has its own management team led by a group president and includes regional presidents and senior executives within the operating group who manage various functions within the businesses. Each operating group also has distinct financial reporting that is evaluated at the corporate level on which operating decisions and strategic planning for the Company as a whole are made. Divisions ("business units") exist within each operating group that serve primarily as sales and marketing units to further streamline the sales and marketing efforts within each operating group and enhance each operating group’s ability to work with its customers and suppliers, generally along more specific product lines or geographies. However, each business unit relies heavily on the support services provided by the operating group as well as centralized support at the corporate level.

Avnet’s operating groups and their sales by region are as follows:



Region	Fiscal 2014 Sales		Percentage of Sales
	(Billions)
EM Americas	$	4.8	17.6	%
EM EMEA	5.1		18.5
EM Asia	6.6		24.0
Total EM	16.5		60.1
TS Americas	6.1		22.1
TS EMEA	3.2		11.5
TS Asia	1.7		6.3
Total TS	11.0		39.9
Total Avnet	$	27.5	100.0	%

A description of each operating group is presented below. Further financial information by operating group and region is provided in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 15 of this Report.

Foreign Operations

As noted in the operating group discussions, Avnet has significant operations in all three major economic regions of the world: the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pac. The percentage of Avnet’s consolidated sales by region is presented in the following table:



	Percentage of Sales for Fiscal Year
Region	2014		2013		2012
Americas	40	%	42	%	45	%
EMEA	30		29		29
Asia/Pac	30		29		26
	100	%	100	%	100	%

Avnet’s foreign operations are subject to a variety of risks. These risks are discussed further under Risk Factors in Item 1A and under Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Item 7A of this Report. Additionally, the specific translation impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, most notably the Euro, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are further discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of this Report.

Acquisitions

Avnet has historically pursued a strategic acquisition program to further its strategic objectives and support key business initiatives. This program was a significant factor in Avnet becoming one of the largest value-added distributors of electronic components, enterprise computer and storage products, IT services and embedded subsystems. Avnet expects to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions to expand its market presence, increase its scale and scope, and increase its product or service offerings.

During fiscal 2014, the Company completed three acquisitions with aggregate annualized sales of approximately $492.0 million. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of this Form 10-K for additional information on acquisitions completed during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Major Products

One of Avnet’s competitive strengths is the breadth and quality of the suppliers whose products it distributes. IBM products accounted for approximately 13%, 12% and 11% of the Company’s consolidated sales during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was the only supplier from which sales of its products exceeded 10% of consolidated sales. Listed in the table below are the major product categories and the Company’s approximate sales of each during the past three fiscal years:



	Years Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 30, 2012
	(Millions)
Semiconductors	$	13,160.9	$	13,720.8	$	13,461.6
Computer products	10,571.6		9,346.0		9,984.4
Connectors	794.7		687.6		667.5
Passives, electromechanical and other	2,972.5		1,704.5		1,594.0
	$	27,499.7	$	25,458.9	$	25,707.5

Competition & Markets

The electronic components and computer products industries continue to be extremely competitive and are subject to rapid technological advances. The Company’s major competitors include Arrow Electronics, Inc., Future Electronics and World Peace Group, and, to a lesser extent, Ingram Micro, Inc. and Tech Data Corp. There are also certain smaller, specialized competitors who generally focus on narrower regions, markets, products or particular sectors. In addition, the Company may compete with its own suppliers that maintain a direct salesforce. As a result of these factors, Avnet must remain competitive in its pricing of goods and services.

A key competitive factor in the electronic component and computer product distribution industry is the need to carry a sufficient amount of inventory to meet customers’ rapid delivery requirements. To minimize its exposure related to valuation of inventory on hand, the majority of the Company’s products are purchased pursuant to non-exclusive distributor agreements, which typically provide certain protections for product obsolescence and price erosion. These agreements are generally cancelable upon 30 to 180 days’ notice and, in most cases, provide for inventory return privileges upon cancellation. In addition, the Company enhances its competitive position by offering a variety of value-added services, which entail the performance of services and/or processes tailored to individual customer specifications and business needs such as point of use replenishment, testing, assembly, supply chain management and materials management. For the year ended June 28, 2014, service sales constituted less than 10% of the Company's total sales.

A competitive advantage is the size of the Company's supplier base. Because of the number of Avnet’s suppliers, many customers can simplify their procurement process and make all of their required purchases from Avnet, rather than purchasing from several different vendors.

Seasonality

Historically, Avnet’s business has not been materially impacted by seasonality, with the exception of a relatively minor impact on consolidated results from the growth in sales at the TS business during the December quarter primarily driven by the calendar year end selling and buying patterns of key suppliers and customers, respectively.

Number of Employees

At June 28, 2014, Avnet had approximately 19,000 employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors

This Report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Avnet. These statements are generally identified by words like “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “estimates” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Except as required by law, Avnet does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those discussed below.

The factors discussed below make the Company’s operating results for future periods difficult to predict and, therefore, prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Any of the below factors, or any other factors discussed elsewhere in this Report, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results, operations, prospects and liquidity. The Company’s operating results have fluctuated in the past and likely will continue to do so. If the Company’s operating results fall below its forecasts and the expectations of public market analysts and investors, the trading price of the Company’s common stock will likely decrease.

Economic weakness and uncertainty could adversely affect the Company’s results and prospects.

The Company's financial results, operations and prospects depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions, the demand for its products and services, and the financial condition of its customers and suppliers. Economic weakness and uncertainty have in the past resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased revenues, margins, earnings and asset impairments, including goodwill and other intangible assets. Economic weakness and uncertainty may also lead the Company to take restructuring actions and reduce associated expenses in response to decreased revenues or margins. The Company may not be able to adequately adjust its cost structure in a timely fashion, which may adversely impact its profitability. Economic weakness and uncertainty also make it more difficult for the Company to manage inventory levels and/or collect customer receivables, which may result in reduced access to liquidity and higher financing costs.

The electronic components and computer industries are highly competitive and if the Company fails to compete effectively, its revenues, gross profit margins and prospects may decline.

The market for the Company's products and services is very competitive and subject to rapid technological advances, new market entrants, non-traditional competitors, changes in industry standards and changes in customer needs. Not only does the Company compete with other global distributors, it also competes for customers with regional distributors and some of the Company's own suppliers that maintain direct sales efforts. The Company's failure to maintain and enhance its competitive position could adversely affect its business and prospects. Furthermore, the Company's efforts to compete in the marketplace could cause deterioration of gross profit margins and, thus, overall profitability.

The size of the Company's competitors vary across market sectors, as do the resources the Company has allocated to the sectors and geographic areas in which it does business. Therefore, some competitors may have greater resources or a more extensive customer base than the Company has in one or more of its market sectors and geographic areas, which may result in the Company not being able to effectively compete in certain markets which could impact the Company's profitability and prospects.

An industry down-cycle in semiconductors could significantly affect the Company's operating results as a large portion of revenues and gross profit come from sales of semiconductors, which is a highly cyclical industry.

The semiconductor industry historically has experienced periodic fluctuations in product supply and demand, often associated with changes in technology and manufacturing capacity, and is generally considered to be highly cyclical. During each of the last three fiscal years, sales of semiconductors represented approximately 50% of the Company's consolidated revenues, and the Company's revenues, particularly those of EM, closely follow the strength or weakness of the semiconductor industry. While the Company attempts to identify changes in market conditions as soon as possible, the dynamics of the industry make prediction of and timely reaction to such changes difficult. Future downturns in the technology industry, particularly in the semiconductor sector, could adversely affect the Company's operating results and negatively impact the Company's ability to maintain its current profitability levels.

Failure to maintain its relationships with key suppliers could adversely affect the Company’s sales.

One of the Company's competitive strengths is the breadth and quality of the suppliers whose products the Company distributes. However, sales of products and services from one of the Company's suppliers, IBM, accounted for approximately 13% of the Company's consolidated revenues in fiscal 2014. Management expects IBM products and services to continue to account for roughly a similar percentage of the Company's consolidated sales in fiscal 2015. The Company's contracts with its suppliers, including those with IBM, vary in duration and are generally terminable by either party at will upon notice. To the extent IBM or other primary suppliers significantly reduce their volume of business with the Company in the future, because of a product shortage, an unwillingness to do business with Avnet, or otherwise, the Company's business and relationships with its customers could be negatively affected because its customers depend on the Company's distribution of electronic components and computer products from the industry's leading suppliers. In addition, suppliers’ strategy shifts or performance issues may negatively affect the Company’s financial results. Further, to the extent that any of the Company's key suppliers modify the terms of their contracts including, without limitation, the terms regarding price protection, rights of return, rebates or other terms that protect or enhance the Company's gross margins, it could negatively affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

The Company's non-U.S. locations represent a significant portion of its revenue and, consequently, the Company is exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.

During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 approximately 65%, 63% and 61%, respectively, of the Company's sales came from its operations outside the United States. As a result of the Company's international operations, in particular those in emerging and developing economies, the Company's operations are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations, including, but not limited to, the following:


•	potential restrictions on the Company's ability to repatriate funds from its foreign subsidiaries;


•	foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations and the impact on the Company's reported results of operations;


•	import and export duties and value-added taxes;


•	compliance with foreign and domestic import and export regulations, data privacy regulations, business licensing requirements, environmental regulations and anti-corruption laws, the failure of which could result in severe penalties including monetary fines, criminal proceedings and suspension of import or export privileges;


•	complex and changing tax laws and regulations;


•	regulatory requirements and prohibitions that differ between jurisdictions;


•	economic and political instability, terrorism and potential military conflicts or civilian unrest;


•	fluctuations in freight costs, limitations on shipping and receiving capacity, and other disruptions in the transportation and shipping infrastructure;


•	natural disasters and health concerns;


•	differing environmental regulations and employment practices and labor issues; and


•	the risk of non-compliance with local laws.

In addition to the cost of compliance, the potential criminal penalties for violations of export regulations and anti-corruption laws by the Company or its third-party agents create heightened risks for the Company's international operations. In the event that a governing regulatory body determined that the Company had violated applicable import or export regulations or anti-corruption laws, the Company could be fined significant sums, incur sizable legal defense costs and/or its import or export capabilities could be restricted, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's business. Additionally, allegations that the Company has violated a governmental regulation may negatively impact the Company's reputation, which may result in customers or suppliers being unwilling to do business with the Company. While the Company has adopted measures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, the Company cannot be assured that such measures will be adequate or that its business will not be materially and adversely impacted in the event of an alleged violation.

The Company's acquisition strategy may not produce the expected benefits, which may adversely affect the Company's results of operations.

Avnet has made, and expects to continue to make, strategic acquisitions or investments in companies around the world to further its strategic objectives and support key business initiatives. Acquisitions and investments involve risks and uncertainties, some of which may differ from those associated with Avnet's historical operations. The risks relating to such acquisitions and investments include, but are not limited to, risks relating to expanding into emerging markets and business areas, adding additional product lines and services, incurring costs or liabilities associated with the companies acquired and diverting management's attention from existing business operations. As a result, the Company's profitability may be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company may not be successful in integrating the acquired businesses or the integration may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than anticipated. Further, any litigation relating to a potential acquisition will result in an increase in the expenses associated with the acquisition or cause a delay in completing the acquisition, thereby impacting the Company's profitability. The Company may experience disruptions that could, depending on the size of the acquisition, have an adverse effect on its business, especially where an acquisition target may have pre-existing non-compliance or pre-existing deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal controls as those terms are defined under relevant SEC rules and regulations. Furthermore, the Company may not realize all of the anticipated benefits from its acquisitions, which could adversely affect the Company's financial performance.

Major disruptions to the Company’s logistics capability could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

The Company's global logistics services are operated through specialized, centralized or outsourced distribution centers around the globe. The Company also depends almost entirely on third-party transportation service providers for the delivery of products to its customers. A major interruption or disruption in service at one or more of its distribution centers for any reason (such as natural disasters, pandemics, or significant disruptions of services from the Company’s third-party transportation providers) could cause cancellations or delays in a significant number of shipments to customers and, as a result, could have a severe impact on the Company's business, operations and financial performance.

If the Company’s internal information systems fail to function properly or experience a security breach, or if the Company is unsuccessful in the implementation, integration or upgrade of information systems, its business operations could suffer.

The Company's expanding operations put increasing pressure on the Company's information systems to facilitate the day-to-day operations of the business and to produce timely, accurate and reliable information on financial and operational results. Currently, the Company's global operations are tracked with multiple information systems, some of which are subject to ongoing IT projects designed to streamline or optimize the Company's global information systems. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful at all times in these efforts or that there will not be implementation or integration difficulties that will adversely affect the Company's ability to complete business transactions timely or the accurate and timely recording and reporting of financial

data. A failure of any of these information systems in a way described above or material difficulties in upgrading these information systems could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and its compliance with reporting obligations under federal securities laws.

In addition, the Company's information technology may be subject to cybersecurity breaches, computer hacking or other general system failures. Maintaining and operating these systems requires continuous investments. A security breach could result in sensitive data being lost, manipulated or exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. Such a breach may harm the Company’s reputation and business prospects and subject the Company to legal claims if there is loss, disclosure or misappropriation of or access to the Company’s business partners' information. As threats related to cybersecurity breaches develop and grow, the Company may also find it necessary to make further investments to protect its data and infrastructure, which may impact the Company’s profitability.

Declines in the value of the Company's inventory or unexpected order cancellations by the Company's customers could adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The electronic components and computer products industries are subject to rapid technological change, new and enhanced products, changes in customer needs and changes in industry standards, which can contribute to a decline in value or obsolescence of inventory. Regardless of the general economic environment, it is possible that prices will decline due to a decrease in demand or an oversupply of products and, as a result of the price declines, there may be greater risk of declines in inventory value. Although it is the policy of many of the Company's suppliers to offer distributors like Avnet certain protections from the loss in value of inventory (such as price protection and limited rights of return), the Company cannot be assured that such policies will fully compensate for the loss in value, or that the vendors will choose to, or be able to, honor such agreements, some of which are not documented and, therefore, subject to the discretion of the vendor. In addition, the majority of the Company's sales are made pursuant to individual purchase orders, rather than through long-term sales contracts. Where there is a contract, such contract is generally terminable at will upon notice. The Company cannot be assured that unforeseen new product developments, declines in the value of the Company's inventory or unforeseen order cancellations by its customers will not adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Substantial defaults by the Company's customers on its accounts receivable or the loss of significant customers could have a significant negative impact on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

A significant portion of the Company's working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to cease doing business, direct their business elsewhere, become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay the amount they owe the Company, or were to become unwilling or unable to make such payments in a timely manner, the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn could adversely affect the collectability of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of management's expectations. A significant deterioration in the Company's ability to collect on accounts receivable could also impact the cost or availability of financing under its accounts receivable securitization program (see Financing Transactions appearing in Item 7 of this Report).

The Company may not have adequate or cost-effective liquidity or capital resources.

The Company's ability to satisfy its cash needs and implement its capital allocation strategy depends on its ability to generate cash from operations and to access the financial markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the Company's control.

The Company may need to satisfy its cash needs through external financing. However, external financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. As of June 28, 2014, Avnet had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.1 billion under various notes, secured borrowings and committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions. The Company needs cash to make interest payments on, and to repay, this indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, such as funding its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs. Under the terms of any external financing, the Company may incur higher than expected financing expenses and become subject to additional restrictions and covenants. Any material increase in the Company's financing costs could have a material adverse effect on its profitability.

Under certain of its credit facilities, the Company is required to maintain certain specified financial ratios and meet certain tests. If the Company fails to meet these financial ratios and/or tests, it may be unable to continue to utilize these facilities. If the Company is unable to utilize these facilities, it may not have sufficient cash available to make interest payments on and repay indebtedness and for general corporate needs. General economic or business conditions, domestic and foreign, may be less favorable than management expects and could adversely impact the Company's sales or its ability to collect receivables from its customers, which may impact access to the Company's securitization program.

The agreements governing some of the Company's financings contain various covenants and restrictions that limit the discretion of management in operating its business and could prevent engaging in some activities that may be beneficial to the Company's business.

The agreements governing the Company's financing, including its credit facility and the indentures governing the Company's outstanding notes, contain various covenants and restrictions that, in certain circumstances, limit the Company's ability, and the ability of certain subsidiaries, to:


•	grant liens on assets;


•	make restricted payments (including, under certain circumstances, paying dividends on common stock or redeeming or repurchasing common stock);


•	make certain investments;


•	merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;


•	incur additional debt; or


•	engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

As a result of these covenants and restrictions, the Company may be limited in the future in how it conducts its business and may be unable to raise additional debt, repurchase common stock, pay a dividend, compete effectively or make further investments.

The Company may become involved in intellectual property disputes that could cause it to incur substantial costs, divert the efforts of management or require it to pay substantial damages or licensing fees.

From time to time, the Company receives notifications alleging infringements of intellectual property rights allegedly held by others relating to the Company's business or the products or services it sells. Litigation with respect to patents or other intellectual property matters could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources and could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations. Further, the Company may be obligated to indemnify and defend its customers if the products or services the Company sells are alleged to infringe any third party's intellectual property rights. While the Company may be able to seek indemnification from its suppliers for itself and its customers against such claims, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining such indemnification or that the Company will be fully protected against such claims. In addition, the Company is exposed to potential liability for technology that it develops for which it has no indemnification protections. If an infringement claim is successful, the Company may be required to pay damages or seek royalty or license arrangements, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. The Company may have to stop selling certain products or services, which could affect its ability to compete effectively.

Failure to comply with the requirements of environmental regulations could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations addressing environmental and other impacts from product disposal, use of hazardous materials in products, recycling of products at the end of their useful life and other related matters. While the Company strives to ensure it is in full compliance with all applicable regulations, certain of these regulations impose liability without fault. Additionally, the Company may be held responsible for the prior activities of an entity it acquired. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, as well as third-party claims for property damage or personal injury. Further, environmental laws may become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violations.

Tax legislation initiatives or challenges to the Company's tax positions could impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

As a multinational corporation, the Company is subject to the tax laws and regulations of the United States and many foreign jurisdictions. From time to time, regulations may be enacted that could adversely affect the Company's tax positions. There can be no assurance that the Company’s effective tax rate and the resulting cash flow will not be adversely affected by these potential changes in regulations. The tax laws and regulations of the various countries where the Company has operations are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations. Although the Company believes that its historical tax positions are sound and consistent with applicable laws, regulations and existing precedent, there can be no assurance that these tax positions will not be challenged by relevant tax authorities or that the Company would be successful in any such challenge.

If the Company fails to maintain effective internal controls, it may not be able to report its financial results accurately or timely, or prevent or detect fraud, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business or the market price of the Company's securities.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for the Company to provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial reports and to effectively prevent or detect fraud. If the Company cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial reports and effectively prevent or detect fraud, its brand and operating results could be harmed. Internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls cannot provide absolute assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved internal controls, or if the Company experiences difficulties in their implementation, the Company's business and operating results could be harmed, the Company may be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, and the Company could fail to meet its reporting obligations, which could have an adverse effect on its business or the market price of the Company's securities.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2. Properties

The Company owns and leases approximately 1.7 million and 7.1 million square feet of space, respectively, of which approximately 37% is located in the United States. The following table summarizes certain of the Company’s key facilities.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

As a result primarily of certain former manufacturing operations, Avnet has incurred and may have future liability under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing pollution and exposure to, and the handling, storage and disposal of, hazardous substances. For example, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”) and similar state laws, Avnet is and may be liable for the costs of cleaning up environmental contamination on or from certain of its current or former properties, and at off-site locations where the Company disposed of wastes in the past. Such laws may impose joint and several liability. Typically, however, the costs for cleanup at such sites are allocated among potentially responsible parties based upon each party’s relative contribution to the contamination, and other factors.

Pursuant to SEC regulations, including but not limited to Item 103 of Regulation S-K, the Company regularly assesses the status of and developments in pending environmental legal proceedings to determine whether any such proceedings should be identified specifically in this discussion of legal proceedings, and has concluded that no particular pending environmental legal

proceeding requires public disclosure. Based on the information known to date, management believes that the Company has appropriately accrued in its consolidated financial statements for its share of the estimated costs of environmental matters.

The Company is also party to various other lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings arising from time to time in the normal course of business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Third quarter results were impacted by restructuring, integration and other expenses of $27.3 million before tax, $25.8 million after tax and $0.18 per share on a diluted basis and an income tax expense of $13.4 million primarily related to the increase to a valuation allowance against existing deferred tax assets and increases to tax reserves. Fourth quarter results were impacted by restructuring, integration and other expenses of $59.8 million before tax, $43.6 million after tax and $0.31 per share on a diluted basis and a net tax benefit of $34.2 million for the release of valuation allowances and the release of existing reserves due to audit settlement and statute expiration, partially offset by the establishment of tax reserves against deferred tax assets that were determined to be unrealizable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For an understanding of Avnet and the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the past three fiscal years, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the description of the business appearing in Item 1 of this Report and the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes and schedule, and other information appearing in Item 15 of this Report. The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year. Fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 all contained 52 weeks.

There are references to the impact of foreign currency translation in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens and the stronger exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is a decrease in U.S. Dollars of reported results. Conversely, when the U.S. Dollar weakens and the weaker exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is an increase in U.S. Dollars of reported results. In the discussion that follows, results excluding this impact, primarily for EMEA, are referred to as “excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates” or “constant currency.”

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:


•	Sales, income or expense items excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as discussed above.

•

Sales adjusted for certain items that impact the year-over-year analysis, which includes the impact of acquisitions by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to include the sales of acquired businesses as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. In addition, the prior year sales are adjusted for (i) divestitures by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to exclude the sales of divested businesses as if the divestitures had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and (ii) the transfer of a portion of Avnet’s reverse logistics operations and a regional computing components operation at the beginning of fiscal 2014 from the Electronics Marketing (“EM”) operating group to the Technology Solutions (“TS”) operating group. Sales taking into account the combination of these adjustments are referred to as “organic sales.”


•	Operating income excluding (i) restructuring, integration and other expenses (see Restructuring, Integration and Other Expenses in this MD&A) and (ii) amortization of acquired intangible assets and other. Operating income excluding such amounts is referred to as adjusted operating income.

The reconciliation of operating income to adjusted operating income is presented in the following table:



	Years Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 30, 2012
	(Thousands)
GAAP operating income	$	789,940	$	625,981	$	884,165
Restructuring, integration and other expenses	94,623		149,501		73,585
Amortization of intangible assets and other	46,783		32,370		27,785
Adjusted operating income	$	931,346	$	807,852	$	985,535

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing results with prior periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business both including and excluding these adjustments to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Results of Operations

Executive Summary

Sales for fiscal 2014 were $27.50 billion, an increase of 8.0% from fiscal 2013 sales of $25.46 billion. Organic sales increased 5.2% year over year. EM sales of $16.54 billion increased 9.6% over fiscal 2013 and organic sales in constant currency increased 8.2% year over year. This increase in organic sales was primarily related to growth in the EMEA and Asia regions. TS sales of $10.96 billion increased 5.7% over fiscal 2013 and organic sales in constant currency remained flat year over year.

Gross profit margin of 11.7% increased 3 basis points over the prior year. EM gross profit margin remained flat year over year with increases in the western regions being offset by declines in the Asia region primarily due to a higher amount of high- volume fulfillment type sales compared to fiscal 2013. TS gross profit margin also remained flat year over year. The overall increase in Avnet gross profit margin was due primarily to increases in sales and gross profit at EM EMEA driven in part by a recent acquisition.

Consolidated operating income margin was 2.9% as compared with 2.5% in fiscal 2013. Both periods included restructuring, integration and other expenses and the amortization of intangible assets. Excluding these amounts from both periods, adjusted operating income margin was 3.4% of sales in fiscal 2014 as compared to 3.2% of sales in fiscal 2013. EM operating income margin increased 31 basis points year over year to 4.5%. The increase in EM operating income margin was primarily due to increases at EM Americas and EM Asia due primarily to a combination of reduced operating expenses as a result of recent restructuring and cost reduction initiatives as well as improved operating leverage. TS operating income margin remained flat year over year at 2.9%, with improvements at TS Asia being offset by declines in the western regions.

Fiscal 2014 Comparison to Fiscal 2013

The table below provides the comparison of reported fiscal 2014 and 2013 sales for the Company and its operating groups to organic sales (as defined earlier in this MD&A) to allow readers to better assess and understand the Company’s sales performance by operating group. Organic sales includes the effects of a divestiture of a small business in TS Asia in December 2012 and the exit of a small business in EM Americas in April 2013 that generated combined annual sales of approximately $20.0 million.

(1)	To adjust reported sales for the impact of certain operations transferred from EM to TS at the beginning of fiscal 2014.

Consolidated sales for fiscal 2014 were $27.50 billion, an increase of 8.0%, or $2.04 billion, from fiscal 2013 consolidated sales of $25.46 billion. Organic sales (as defined earlier in this MD&A) increased 5.2% year over year and increased 4.8% in constant currency. The organic sales increase was primarily due to organic growth at EM as discussed further below.

EM sales of $16.54 billion for fiscal 2014 increased 9.6% from fiscal 2013 sales of $15.09 billion. EM organic sales in constant currency increased 8.2% year over year. On a regional basis, the Americas organic sales remained flat year over year. In EMEA, there was strong growth with organic sales increasing 8.8% in constant currency. Asia organic sales increased 13.0% year over year, which was primarily due to increased high-volume fulfillment type sales in fiscal 2014. The higher growth rate in Asia resulted in a regional shift in the mix of sales toward Asia, which represented approximately 40% of total EM sales in fiscal 2014 compared to approximately 38% in fiscal 2013. Such regional mix shift had a corresponding impact on fiscal 2014 EM gross profit margin and operating expense margin.

TS sales of $10.96 billion for fiscal 2014 increased 5.7% from fiscal 2013 sales of $10.36 billion. Organic sales remained flat year over year in constant dollars. In the Americas region, year-over-year organic sales increased 2.7%, offset by organic sales declines of 8.8% in constant currency at TS EMEA. On a product level, growth in hardware, software and services were partially offset by declines in servers and computing components.

Fiscal 2013 Comparison to Fiscal 2012

The table below provides the comparison of reported fiscal 2013 and 2012 sales for the Company and its operating groups to organic sales to allow readers to better assess and understand the Company’s sales performance by operating group.



	Sales as Reported		Acquisition Sales		Organic Sales		2013 to 2012 Organic Sales Change
	(Dollars in millions)
EM	$	15,094.4	$	148.4	$	15,242.8	(2.5	)%
TS	10,364.5		153.8		10,518.3		(9.0	)
Fiscal 2013	$	25,458.9	$	302.2	$	25,761.1	(5.3	)
EM	$	14,933.1	$	707.6	$	15,640.7
TS	10,774.4		789.2		11,563.6
Fiscal 2012	$	25,707.5	$	1,496.8	$	27,204.3

Consolidated sales for fiscal 2013 were $25.46 billion, a decrease of 1.0%, or $248.6 million, from fiscal 2012 consolidated sales of $25.71 billion. Organic sales decreased 5.3% year over year and declined 4.2% in constant currency. The organic sales decline was primarily due to the organic sales decline at TS.

EM sales of $15.09 billion for fiscal 2013 increased 1.1% from fiscal 2012 sales of $14.93 billion. EM organic sales in constant currency decreased 1.2% year over year primarily related to the Americas region, which (i) experienced weaker demand and (ii) exited the lower margin commercial components business. On a regional basis, the Americas organic sales decreased 10.0% year over year primarily due to the decision to exit the lower margin commercial components business. For EMEA, despite the ongoing recessionary trends in the region, organic sales were relatively flat year over year in constant currency. Asia organic sales increased 6.5% year over year, which was primarily due to a higher volume of fulfillment sales in fiscal 2013. The higher growth rate in Asia resulted in a regional shift in the mix of sales between the Asia region and the western regions, which negatively impacted EM's overall gross profit and operating income margins.

TS sales of $10.36 billion for fiscal 2013 decreased 3.8% from fiscal 2012 sales of $10.77 billion. Organic sales declined 8.3% year over year in constant dollars primarily due to weaker sales in the western regions. In the Americas region, year-over-year organic sales decreased 8.5%, and organic sales in EMEA decreased 11.7% in constant currency. On a product level, declines in servers and hardware were partially offset by growth in storage, services, and software.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margins

Consolidated gross profit in fiscal 2014 was $3.23 billion, an increase of $245.9 million, or 8.3%, from fiscal 2013 and an increase of 2.4% on an organic basis in constant currency. Gross profit margin of 11.7% remained essentially flat, increasing by 3 basis points over the prior year. EM gross profit margin remained flat year over year primarily related to increases in the western regions being offset by declines in Asia. The decline in Asia gross margin was primarily due to the effects of a higher volume of fulfillment sales in fiscal 2014. With respect to regional mix, the Asia region contributed 39.9% of EM sales in fiscal 2014 from 38.0% in fiscal 2013, attributable to higher growth rates in Asia including the impact of an increase in fulfillment sales. TS gross profit margin remained flat year over year, with improvements in the EMEA region being offset by a decline in the Americas.

Consolidated gross profit in fiscal 2013 was $2.98 billion, a decrease of $70.8 million, or 2.3%, from fiscal 2012. Gross profit margin of 11.7% decreased 17 basis points over fiscal 2012. EM gross profit margin declined 52 basis points year over year primarily related to declines in gross margins in the EMEA region and a higher mix of sales from the Asia region. The decline in EMEA gross margin was primarily due to the effects of market pressures associated with relatively short product lead times. With respect to regional mix, the Asia region contributed 38.0% of EM sales in fiscal 2013 from 33.8% in fiscal 2012, attributable to higher growth rates in Asia, the effects of the acquisition of Internix, Inc. in Japan, and lower growth rates in the western regions. TS gross profit margin improved 24 basis points year over year, primarily driven by the Americas and EMEA regions offset by a decrease in Asia.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) were $2.34 billion in fiscal 2014, an increase of $136.8 million, or 6.2%, from fiscal 2013. This increase consisted primarily of an increase of approximately $138.0 million related to expenses from businesses acquired, and to a lesser extent from an approximately $18.0 million increase related to the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by a decrease related to recent restructuring and cost reduction actions net of SG&A expense increases related to inflation. In fiscal 2014, SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales were 8.5% and as a percentage of gross profit were 72.6% as compared with 8.7% and 74.0%, respectively, in fiscal 2013. SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit at EM decreased 241 basis points year over year due primarily to the benefits of recent restructuring and cost savings actions and from an increase in gross profit, partially offset by increases associated with recently acquired businesses that were not fully integrated for the entire fiscal 2014 and the effects of inflation and other factors. SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit at TS decreased 15 basis points from fiscal 2013 due primarily to the benefits of recent restructuring and costs savings actions and the increase in gross profit, partially offset by the increases associated with recently acquired businesses and the effects of inflation and other factors.

SG&A expenses were $2.20 billion in fiscal 2013, an increase of $111.5 million, or 5.3%, from fiscal 2012. This increase consisted of an increase of approximately $184.4 million related to expenses from businesses acquired and the effects of inflation and other factors, which increased the Company's SG&A expenses by an estimated $61.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $100.0 million related to recent restructuring and cost reduction actions and a decrease of approximately $33.9 million related to the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In fiscal 2013, SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales were 8.7% and as a percentage of gross profit were 74.0% as compared with 8.1% and 68.6%, respectively, in fiscal 2012. SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit at EM increased 522 basis points year over year, primarily due to the effects of recent acquisitions as the related cost savings had not yet been fully attained and due to declines in

total gross profit dollars relative to operating expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit at TS increased 346 basis points year over year due primarily to the effects of the decrease in sales as previously described and, to a lesser extent, the effects of recent acquisitions as certain cost synergies had not yet been attained.

Restructuring, Integration and Other Expenses

During fiscal 2014, the Company took certain actions in an effort to reduce future operating costs including activities necessary to achieve planned synergies from recently acquired businesses. In addition, the Company incurred integration and other costs primarily associated with acquired or divested businesses and for the consolidation of facilities. As a result, during fiscal 2014 the Company recorded restructuring, integration and other expenses of $94.6 million. Restructuring expenses of $65.7 million consisted of $53.3 million for severance, $11.6 million for facility exit costs and asset impairments, and $0.9 million for other restructuring expenses. Integration and other costs including acquisition costs were $20.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The Company also recorded a net benefit of $0.3 million for changes in estimates for restructuring liabilities established in prior years. The after tax impact of restructuring, integration, and other expenses was $70.8 million and $0.50 per share on a diluted basis.

Severance expense recorded in fiscal 2014 related to the reduction, or planned reduction, of over 1,100 employees, primarily in operations, sales and business support functions, in connection with cost reduction actions taken in both operating groups, including reductions in recently acquired or integrated businesses. Facility exit costs primarily consisted of liabilities for remaining lease obligations and the impairment of long-lived assets for facilities and information technology systems the Company ceased using. Other restructuring costs related primarily to other miscellaneous restructuring and exit costs. Of the $65.7 million in restructuring expenses recorded during fiscal 2014, $41.3 million related to EM, $23.1 million related to TS and $1.3 million related to corporate business support functions.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company incurred restructuring expenses related to certain actions intended to achieve planned synergies from recent acquisitions and to reduce future operating costs. The Company also incurred integration and other costs primarily related to costs associated with recently acquired businesses and restructuring related actions. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring, integration and other expenses of $28.0 million during the quarter, including restructuring costs of $19.6 million, integration costs of $8.1 million, other costs of $1.9 million and a benefit for changes in estimates for costs associated with previous restructuring actions of $1.6 million. The tax-effected impact of restructuring, integration and other expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $20.9 million and $0.15 per share on a diluted basis. When all such restructuring actions are substantially complete, which is expected to occur by the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company expects to realize approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million in annualized operating cost benefits. When realized, the annualized cost savings are expected to benefit the EM operating group by approximately $10.0 million and the TS operating group by approximately $20.0 million to $25.0 million.

Integration costs are primarily related to the integration of acquired businesses, integration of regional business units and incremental costs incurred as part of the consolidation, relocation and closure of warehouse and office facilities. Integration costs include consulting costs for information technology system and business operation integration assistance, facility moving costs, legal fees, travel, meeting, marketing and communication costs that are incrementally incurred as a result of such integration activities. Also included in integration costs are incremental salary costs specific to integration, consolidation and closure activities. Other costs consists primarily of professional fees incurred for acquisitions, additional costs incurred for businesses divested or exited in current or prior periods, any ongoing facilities operating costs associated with the consolidation, relocation and closure of facilities once such facilities have been vacated or substantially vacated, and other miscellaneous costs that relate to restructuring, integration and other expenses. Integration and other costs in fiscal 2014 were comprised of many different costs, none of which were individually material.

During fiscal 2013, the Company took certain restructuring actions to reduce costs in both operating groups in response to then current market conditions and incurred acquisition and integration costs primarily associated with recently acquired businesses. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring, integration and other expenses of $149.5 million. Restructuring expenses of $120.0 million consisted of $73.3 million for severance, $34.4 million for facility exit costs and asset impairments, and $12.3 million for other restructuring expenses. Integration costs were $35.7 million and other costs were a net benefit of $3.2 million. The Company also recorded a benefit of $3.1 million for changes in estimates for restructuring liabilities established in prior years. The after tax impact of restructuring, integration, and other expenses was $116.4 million and $0.83 per share on a diluted basis.

During fiscal 2012, the Company took certain restructuring actions to reduce costs in both operating groups in response to then current market conditions and incurred acquisition and integration costs primarily associated with recently acquired businesses. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring, integration and other expenses of $73.6 million. Restructuring expenses of $50.3 million consisted of $33.2 million for severance, $12.0 million for facility exit costs and asset impairments, and $5.1 million for

other restructuring expenses. Integration costs and other costs primarily associated with acquisitions were $9.4 million and $17.2 million, respectively. The Company also recorded a benefit of $3.3 million for changes in estimates for restructuring liabilities established in prior years. The after tax impact of restructuring, integration and other expenses was $53.0 million and $0.35 per share on a diluted basis.

See Note 17, "Restructuring, integration and other expenses" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to restructuring, integration and other expenses.

Operating Income

During fiscal 2014, the Company had operating income of $789.9 million, representing a 26.2% increase as compared with fiscal 2013 operating income of $626.0 million. Consolidated operating income margin was 2.9% as compared with 2.5% in fiscal 2013. Both years included restructuring, integration and other expenses and the amortization of intangible assets. Excluding these amounts from both years, adjusted operating income was $931.3 million, or 3.4% of sales, in fiscal 2014 representing a 15.3% increase as compared with $807.9 million, or 3.2% of sales, in fiscal 2013. EM operating income of $747.9 million increased 17.7% year over year, led by EM EMEA with higher sales and operating income compared to fiscal 2013, and with all EM regions delivering increased operating income in comparison to fiscal 2013. EM's operating income margin increased 31 basis points year over year to 4.5%. The increase in EM operating income margin was primarily due to increases at EM Americas and EM Asia due primarily to a combination of reduced operating expenses as a result of recent restructuring and cost reduction initiatives as well as improved operating leverage, partially offset by increases in operating expenses at EM EMEA from a recent acquisition, from which all synergies have not yet been realized. TS operating income of $317.8 million increased 6.2% year over year and operating income margin remained essentially flat at 2.9%, with improvements at TS Asia being offset by declines in the western regions. Corporate net operating expenses were $134.4 million in fiscal 2014 as compared with $126.9 million in fiscal 2013.

During fiscal 2013, the Company generated operating income of $626.0 million, down 29.2%, as compared with $884.2 million in fiscal 2012. Consolidated operating income margin was 2.5% as compared with 3.4% in fiscal 2012. Both years included restructuring, integration and other expenses and the amortization of intangible assets. Excluding these amounts from both years, adjusted operating income was $807.9 million, or 3.2% of sales, in fiscal 2013 as compared with $985.5 million, or 3.8% of sales, in fiscal 2012. EM operating income of $635.6 million was down 16.3% year over year and operating income margin decreased 88 basis points year over year to 4.2%. The decline in EM operating income margin was primarily due to lower gross profit margin as previously mentioned, which resulted in lower operating income in the western regions, offset partially by the benefits of restructuring and cost reduction actions taken. TS operating income of $299.1 million decreased 11.7% year over year and operating income margin decreased 26 basis points to 2.9% due primarily to the effects of the decline in sales, as previously described and, to a lesser extent, the effects of recent acquisitions. Corporate operating expenses were $126.9 million in fiscal 2013 as compared with $112.9 million in fiscal 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for fiscal 2014 was $104.8 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 2.6%, compared with fiscal 2013. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the repayment at maturity of $300.0 million of 5.875% Notes at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and a corresponding lower average borrowing rate. This decrease was partially offset by higher average outstanding debt during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013.

Interest expense for fiscal 2013 was $107.7 million, an increase of $16.8 million, or 18.5%, compared with fiscal 2012. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a higher average debt in fiscal 2013, which was impacted by the $350.0 million of 4.875% Notes issued during the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

See Financing Transactions for further discussion of the Company's outstanding debt.

Other Income (Expense), net

During fiscal 2014, the Company recognized $6.1 million of other expense as compared with $0.1 million in fiscal 2013. The increase in other expense in fiscal 2014 is primarily is attributable to fiscal 2013 benefiting from a realized gain on the sale of marketable securities and to a lesser extent higher interest income compared to fiscal 2013. Fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 had similar amounts of net foreign currency exchange losses and both years were impacted by the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency.

During fiscal 2013, the Company recognized $0.1 million of other expense as compared with other expense of $5.4 million in fiscal 2012. The decrease in other expense was primarily attributable to lower foreign currency exchange losses in fiscal 2013

compared to fiscal 2012. Included in other expense for fiscal 2013 is a realized gain on the sale of marketable securities partially offset by foreign currency losses due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency during fiscal 2013.

Gain on Legal Settlement, Bargain Purchase and Other

During fiscal 2014, the Company received award payments and recognized a gain on legal settlement of $22.1 million before tax, $13.5 million after tax and $0.09 per share on a diluted basis.

During fiscal 2013, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase and other of $31.0 million before tax, which consisted of (i) a gain on bargain purchase related to the acquisition of Internix of $32.7 million before and after tax and $0.23 per share on a diluted basis, which was partially offset by (ii) a loss of $1.7 million before and after tax and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis as a result of the divestiture of a small business in the TS Asia region.

During fiscal 2012, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase related to the acquisition of Unidux of $4.3 million before and after tax and $0.03 per share on a diluted basis. In addition, the Company recognized other expenses of $1.4 million before tax, $0.9 million after tax and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis related to the impairment of an investment in a small technology company and the write-off of certain deferred financing costs associated with the early termination of a credit facility.

Income Tax Provision

Avnet’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 22.2% in fiscal 2014 as compared with an effective tax rate of 18.1% in fiscal 2013. Included in the fiscal 2014 effective tax rate is a net tax benefit of $43.8 million, which is comprised primarily of (i) a tax benefit of $33.4 million for the release of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that were determined to be realizable, primarily related to a legal entity in EMEA (discussed further below), and (ii) a net tax benefit of $7.0 million resulting from losses related to an investment in a foreign subsidiary. The fiscal 2014 effective tax rate is higher than the fiscal 2013 effective tax rate primarily due to a lower amount of tax benefits from audit settlements in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013, partially offset by a greater tax benefit from the valuation allowances released in fiscal 2014 as compared with the amount released in fiscal 2013.

As of the end of fiscal 2014, the Company had a partial valuation allowance against significant net operating loss carry-forward deferred tax assets related to a legal entity in EMEA due to, among several other factors, a history of losses in that entity. In recent fiscal years, such entity has been experiencing improved earnings, which required the partial release of the valuation allowance to the extent the entity has projected future taxable income. In fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company determined a portion of the valuation allowance for such legal entity was no longer required due to the expected continuation of improved earnings in the foreseeable future and, as a result, the Company's effective tax rate was reduced upon the partial release of the valuation allowance, net of the U.S. tax expense. In fiscal 2014 and 2013, the valuation allowance released associated with this EMEA legal entity was $33.6 million and $27.1 million, respectively, net of the U.S. tax expense associated with the release. Excluding the benefit in both fiscal years related to the release of the tax valuation allowance associated with such EMEA legal entity, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 would have been 27.0% and 23.0%, respectively.

The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets and will adjust the valuation allowance as deemed appropriate which, if reduced, could result in a significant decrease to the effective tax rate in the period of the adjustment.

Avnet’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 18.1% in fiscal 2013 compared with an effective tax rate of 28.3% in fiscal 2012. The fiscal 2013 effective tax rate is lower than the fiscal 2012 effective tax rate primarily due to the fiscal 2013 effective tax rate including a net tax benefit of $50.4 million, which is comprised of (i) a tax benefit of $41.6 million for the reversal of previously established valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that were now determined to be realizable, a portion of which related to a legal entity in EMEA (discussed further above), (ii) net favorable audit settlements resulting in a benefit of $33.2 million, partially offset by (iii) a tax expense of $24.4 million primarily related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that were determined to be unrealizable during fiscal 2013.

Avnet's effective tax rate is primarily a function of the tax rates in the numerous jurisdictions in which it does business applied to the mix of income before taxes. The effective tax rate may vary year over year as a result of changes in tax requirements in these jurisdictions, management's evaluation of its ability to generate sufficient taxable income to offset net operating loss carry-forwards and the establishment of liabilities for unfavorable outcomes of tax positions taken on certain matters that are common to multinational enterprises and the actual outcome of those matters.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described in the preceding sections of this MD&A, the Company’s net income in fiscal 2014 was $545.6 million, or $3.89 per share on a diluted basis, compared with net income of $450.1 million, or $3.21 per share on a diluted basis, in fiscal 2013 and $567.0 million, or $3.79 per share on a diluted basis, in fiscal 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Company generated $237.4 million of cash from its operating activities in fiscal 2014 as compared to a cash generation of $696.2 million in fiscal 2013. These operating cash flows are comprised of: (i) cash flows generated from net income, adjusted for the impact of non-cash and other items, which includes depreciation and amortization expenses, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense and other non-cash items (primarily, provisions for doubtful accounts and periodic pension costs) and (ii) cash flows used for, or generated from, working capital and other, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Cash used for working capital and other was $564.3 million during fiscal 2014, including increases in receivables of $306.9 million, inventories of $226.1 million, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other of $80.0 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $48.7 million. Receivables and inventories days on hand has not changed significantly from the end of fiscal 2013.

During fiscal 2013, the Company generated $696.2 million of cash from operating activities as compared with $528.7 million in fiscal 2012. Cash generated by working capital and other was $47.5 million during fiscal 2013, resulting from a decrease in inventories of $225.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other of $78.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and an increase in receivables of $94.2 million. During fiscal 2013, net days outstanding and receivables days on hand did not change significantly from the end of fiscal 2012.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During fiscal 2014, the Company repaid upon maturity the $300.0 million of 5.875% Notes due in March 2014. The Company received proceeds of $38.8 million and $255.0 million from net borrowings of bank and other debt, and the accounts receivable securitization program, respectively. In addition, during fiscal 2014, the Company used $82.8 million and $8.6 million of cash to pay quarterly cash dividends on common stock and to repurchase common stock under the Company's share repurchase program.

During fiscal 2013, the Company repaid $490.9 million under the accounts receivable securitization program and its revolving credit facility. The Company also received net proceeds of $349.3 million from the issuance of $350 million of 4.875% Notes due December 1, 2022. In addition, during fiscal 2013, the Company used $207.2 million of cash to repurchase common stock under the Company's share repurchase program.

During fiscal 2012, the Company received proceeds of $595.8 million, primarily from borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization program and bank credit facilities. In addition, the Company used $318.3 million of cash to repurchase common stock under the Company's share repurchase program.

Other financing activities, net, during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 were primarily a result of cash received for the exercise of stock options and the associated excess tax benefit.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During fiscal 2014, the Company used $116.9 million of cash for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $123.2 million for capital expenditures primarily related to information system development costs and computer hardware and software purchases.

During fiscal 2013, the Company used $262.3 million of cash for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $97.4 million for capital expenditures primarily related to information system development costs and computer hardware and software purchases.

During fiscal 2012, the Company used $313.2 million of cash for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $128.7 million for capital expenditures primarily related to information system development costs and computer hardware and software expenditures.

Capital Structure

The Company uses a variety of financing arrangements, both short-term and long-term, to fund its operations in addition to cash generated from operations. The Company also uses diversified sources of funding so that it does not become overly dependent on one source and to achieve lower cost of funding through these different alternatives. These financing arrangements include public bonds, short-term and long-term bank loans and an accounts receivable securitization program. For a detailed description of the Company’s external financing arrangements outstanding at June 28, 2014, refer to Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 15 of this Report.

The following table summarizes the Company’s capital structure as of the end of fiscal 2014 with a comparison with the end of fiscal 2013:



	June 28, 2014		% of Total Capitalization		June 29, 2013		% of Total Capitalization
	(Dollars in thousands)
Short-term debt	$	865,088	12.4	%	$	838,190	13.2	%
Long-term debt	1,213,814		17.4		1,206,993		19.1
Total debt	2,078,902		29.8		2,045,183		32.3
Shareholders’ equity	4,890,193		70.2		4,289,125		67.7
Total capitalization	$	6,969,095	100.0		$	6,334,308	100.0

Financing Transactions

During fiscal 2014, the Company had a five-year $1.00 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2012 Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, which expires in November 2016. Under the 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. There were $12.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility as of June 28, 2014 and $6.7 million as of June 29, 2013.

In August 2013, the Company amended and extended its accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with a group of financial institutions to allow the Company to sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest of up to $800.0 million in eligible receivables while retaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the receivables. The Program does not qualify for sale accounting treatment and, as a result, any borrowings under the Program are recorded as debt on the consolidated balance sheets. The Program has a one-year term that expires at the end of August 2014, at which time it is expected to be renewed for another one to two years on comparable terms. There were $615.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Program as of June 28, 2014 and $360.0 as of June 29, 2013. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commerical paper rate plus a spread of 0.35%. The facility fee is 0.35%.

Notes outstanding at June 28, 2014 consisted of:


•	$250.0 million of 6.00% Notes due September 1, 2015


•	$300.0 million of 6.625% Notes due September 15, 2016


•	$300.0 million of 5.875% Notes due June 15, 2020


•	$350.0 million of 4.875% Notes due December 1, 2022

The Company also has several small lines of credit and other forms of bank debt in various foreign locations to fund the short-term working capital, foreign exchange, overdraft and letter of credit needs of its wholly owned subsidiaries in EMEA, Asia, Latin America and Canada. Avnet generally guarantees its subsidiaries’ obligations under these facilities. Outstanding borrowings under such forms of debt as of the end of fiscal 2014 was $253.7 million.

Covenants and Conditions

The Program requires the Company to maintain certain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios in order to continue utilizing the Program. The Program also contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold. If these conditions are not met, the Company may not be able to borrow any additional funds and the financial institutions may consider this an amortization event, as defined in the Program agreements, which would permit the financial institutions to liquidate the accounts receivables sold to cover any outstanding borrowings. Circumstances that could affect the Company’s ability to meet the required covenants and conditions of the Program include the Company’s ongoing profitability and various other economic, market and industry factors. Management does not believe that the covenants under the Program limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy or its future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Program as of June 28, 2014.

The 2012 Credit Facility contains certain covenants with various limitations on debt incurrence, share repurchases, dividends, investments and capital expenditures and also includes financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios. Management does not believe that the covenants in the 2012 Credit Facility limit the Company’s

ability to pursue its intended business strategy or its future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the 2012 Credit Facility as of June 28, 2014.

See Liquidity below for further discussion of the Company’s availability under these various facilities.

Liquidity

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $929.0 million as of June 28, 2014, of which $815.4 million was held outside the U.S. As of June 29, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.01 billion, of which $918.4 million was held outside of the U.S.

As of June 28, 2014, the Company had a combined total borrowing capacity of $1.80 billion under the 2012 Credit Facility and the Program. There were $12.0 million in borrowings outstanding and $2.0 million in letters of credit issued under the 2012 Credit Facility and $615.0 million outstanding under the Program. During fiscal 2014, the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility of approximately $7.0 million and $534.0 million under the Program. During fiscal 2013, the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility of approximately $5.0 million and $570.0 million under the Program.

Liquidity is subject to many factors, such as normal business operations as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, and regulatory factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Cash balances generated and held in foreign locations are used for ongoing working capital, capital expenditure needs and to support acquisitions. These balances are currently expected to be permanently reinvested outside the United States. If these funds were needed for general corporate use in the United States, the Company would incur significant income taxes to repatriate cash held in foreign locations, but only to the extent the repatriated cash is in excess of any outstanding intercompany loans due to Avnet, Inc. from foreign subsidiaries. In addition, local government regulations may restrict the Company’s ability to move funds among various locations under certain circumstances. Management does not believe such restrictions would limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy.

During fiscal 2014, the Company utilized $116.9 million of cash, net of cash acquired, for acquisitions. The Company has made, and expects to continue to make, strategic investments through acquisition activity to the extent the investments strengthen Avnet’s competitive position and/or meet management’s return on capital thresholds.

In addition to continuing to make investments in acquisitions, as of June 28, 2014, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $215.9 million of the Company’s common stock through a $750.0 million share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in prior years. The Company plans to repurchase stock from time to time at the discretion of management, subject to strategic considerations, market conditions and other factors. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares purchased will depend on a variety of factors such as share price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and prevailing market conditions. Since the beginning of the repurchase program through the end of fiscal 2014, the Company has repurchased 18.1 million shares at an average market price of $29.51 per share for total cost of $534.1 million. Shares repurchased were retired. Additionally, the Company currently expects to pay quarterly cash dividends on shares of its common stock, subject to approval of the Board of Directors. During fiscal 2014, the Company paid cash dividends of $82.8 million on its common stock or $0.15 per share on a quarterly basis.

In July 2014, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2014, the Company terminated the 2012 Credit Facility and entered into a five-year $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2014 Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, consisting of revolving credit facilities and the issuance of up to $150.0 million of letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the 2014 Credit Facility may be increased up to $1.50 billion. Under the 2014 Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. The 2014 Credit Facility contains certain covenants, which are substantially similar to those covenants contained in the 2012 Credit Facility. The 2014 Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in July 2019.

During periods of weakening demand in the electronic component and enterprise computer solutions industry, the Company typically generates cash from operating activities. Conversely, the Company is more likely to use operating cash flows for working capital requirements during periods of higher growth.

Management believes that Avnet’s available borrowing capacity, its current cash on hand and the Company’s expected ability to generate operating cash flows in the future will be sufficient to meet its future liquidity needs. The Company also may issue debt or equity securities in the future and management believes the Company will have adequate access to the capital markets, if needed.

The following table highlights the Company’s liquidity and related ratios for the past two fiscal years:

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS — LIQUIDITY



	Years Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			Percentage Change
	(Dollars in millions)
Current Assets	$	8,954.2		$	8,356.9		7.1	%
Quick Assets	6,149.5			5,878.3			4.6
Current Liabilities	4,978.8			4,821.4			3.3
Working Capital⁽¹⁾	3,975.4			3,535.4			12.4
Total Debt	2,078.9			2,045.2			1.6
Total Capital (total debt plus total shareholders’ equity)	6,969.1			6,334.3			10.0
Quick Ratio	1.2:1			1.2:1
Working Capital Ratio	1.8:1			1.7:1
Debt to Total Capital	29.8		%	32.3		%

______________________


(1)	This calculation of working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.

The Company’s quick assets (consisting of cash and cash equivalents and receivables) increased 4.6% from June 29, 2013 to June 28, 2014 primarily due to an increase in receivables as a result of the corresponding year-over-year increase in sales, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. These factors, when combined with an increase in inventories and prepaid and other current assets, led to an increase in current assets of 7.1%. Current liabilities increased 3.3% primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, short-term debt, and accrued expenses and other. As a result of the factors noted above, total working capital increased by 12.4% during fiscal 2014. Total debt increased by 1.6%, primarily due to the increase in borrowings under bank credit facilities, total capital increased 10.0% and the debt to total capital ratio decreased to 29.8%.

Long-Term Contractual Obligations

The Company has the following contractual obligations outstanding as of June 28, 2014 (in millions):



	Total		Due in Less Than 1 Year		Due in 1-3 Years		Due in 4-5 Years		Due After 5 Years
Long-term debt, including amounts due within one year⁽¹⁾	$	2,080.9	$	865.1	$	565.8	$	—	$	650.0
Interest expense on long-term notes⁽²⁾	$	304.5	$	79.7	$	96.5	$	69.4	$	58.9
Operating leases	$	377.5	$	91.3	$	125.0	$	69.2	$	92.0

______________________


(1)	Excludes discount on long-term notes.


(2)	Represents interest expense due on long-term notes with fixed interest rates and variable debt assuming the same interest rate as of the end of fiscal 2014.

At June 28, 2014, the Company had an estimated liability for income tax contingencies of $128.2 million, which is not included in the above table. Cash payments associated with the settlement of these liabilities that are expected to be paid within the next 12 months is $7.8 million. The settlement period for the remaining amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, including related accrued interest and penalties, cannot be determined and therefore was not included in the table. The Company does not currently have any material long-term commitments for purchases of inventories from suppliers or for capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon the Company’s continuous evaluation of available information including historical results and anticipated future events. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require significant judgments and estimates. Management believes the Company’s most critical accounting policies relate to:

Valuation of Receivables

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses primarily resulting from customer defaults. Bad debt expense and the related allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based upon historic customer default experience as well as the Company’s regular assessment of the financial condition of its customers. Therefore, if actual collection experience or the financial condition of customers were to change, management would evaluate whether adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are necessary.

Valuation of Inventories

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (first in — first out) or estimated market value. The Company’s inventories include high-technology components, embedded systems and computing technologies sold into rapidly changing, cyclical and competitive markets wherein such inventories may be subject to declines in market value or technological obsolescence.

The Company regularly evaluates inventories for excess, obsolescence or other factors that may render inventories less marketable. Write-downs are recorded so that inventories reflect the approximate net realizable value and take into account the Company’s contractual provisions with its suppliers, which may provide certain protections to the Company for product obsolescence and price erosion in the form of rights of return and price protections. Because of the large number of products and suppliers and the complexity of managing the process around price protections and stock rotations, estimates are made regarding reductions to the value of inventories. Additionally, assumptions about future demand, market conditions and decisions to discontinue certain product lines impact the evaluation of whether to write-down inventories. If assumptions about future demand change or actual market conditions are less favorable than those assumed by management, management would evaluate whether additional write-downs of inventories are required. In any case, actual net realizable values could be different from those currently estimated.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Management's judgment is required in determining income tax expense, measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowances recorded against net deferred tax assets. The recoverability of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions. In addition, the Company considers historic levels of income, expectations and risk associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for valuation allowances. Should the Company determine that it is not able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, additional valuation allowances may be recorded against the deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase to income tax expense in the period such determination is made. Similarly, should the Company determine that it is able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets that have an associated valuation allowance established, the Company may release a valuation allowance with a corresponding benefit to income tax expense in the period such determination is made.

The Company establishes contingent liabilities for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain tax matters. These liabilities are based on management's assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. There may be differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these matters that may result in changes in estimates to such liabilities. To the extent such changes in estimates are necessary, the Company's effective tax rate may potentially fluctuate as a result. In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense.

In determining the Company's effective tax rate, management considers current tax regulations in the numerous jurisdictions in which it operates, and exercises judgment for interpretation and application. Changes to such tax regulations or disagreements with the Company's interpretation or application by tax authorities in any of the Company's major jurisdictions may have a significant impact on the Company's income tax expense.

Restructuring, Integration and Impairment Expenses

The Company has been subject to the financial impact of integrating acquired businesses and expenses related to business restructurings, including those related to businesses acquired and in response to market conditions. In connection with such events, management is required to make estimates about the financial impact of such restructuring and integration activities that are inherently uncertain. Accrued liabilities are established based on estimates to cover the cost of severance, facility consolidation and closure, lease termination fees, inventory adjustments based upon acquisition-related termination of supplier agreements and/or the re-evaluation of the acquired working capital assets (primarily inventories and receivables), and the impairment of long-lived assets. Actual amounts incurred could be different from those estimated.

Additionally, in assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company is required to make significant assumptions about the future cash flows and overall performance of its reporting units. The Company is also required to make judgments regarding the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below their carrying value, the results of which would determine whether an interim goodwill impairment test must be performed. Should these assumptions or judgments change in the future based upon market conditions or should the structure of the Company’s reporting units change based upon changes in business strategy, the Company may be required to perform an interim impairment test which may result in a goodwill impairment charge.

During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined there was no goodwill impairment at any of its reporting units. The Company does not believe there were any reporting units that were at risk of failing the fiscal 2014 goodwill impairment test. However, in fiscal 2014 there were two reporting units for which the estimated fair value was not substantially in excess of the current carrying value of the reporting unit. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value was approximately 10% for TS Asia,which has less than 4% of the Company's total goodwill and approximately 15% for TS EMEA, which has less than 15% of the Company's total goodwill.

In order to estimate the fair value of its reporting units, the Company uses a combination of an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow methodology, and a market approach. The discounted cash flow methodology includes market participant assumptions for, among other factors, forecasted sales, gross profit margins, operating profit margins, cash flows, perpetual growth rates and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgments and estimates by management which are inherently uncertain. These assumptions, judgments and estimates may change in the future based upon market conditions or other events and could result in a goodwill impairment charge.

Contingencies and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become a party to, or otherwise be involved in, various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management does not anticipate that any current matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Revenue Recognition and Related Policies

The Company does not consider revenue recognition to be a critical accounting policy due to the nature of its business because revenues are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met upon the actual shipment or delivery of products or services to the customer depending upon the underlying sales terms. Accordingly, although management makes certain estimates related to possible returns of products from customers, discounts and rebates, such amounts do not require significant judgments or assumptions.

Provisions for sales returns are estimated based on historical sales returns experience, credit memo experience and other known factors. Provisions are made for discounts and rebates, which are primarily timing or volume-specific, and are generally based on historical trends and anticipated customer buying patterns. Finally, revenues from maintenance contracts, which are deferred and recognized as sales over the life of the maintenance agreement, are not material to the consolidated results of operations of the Company.

The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in ASC Topic 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenues and related costs or the net amount (gross fees less related cost of sales or services) depending upon whether the Company is the principal or agent for certain sales arrangements. Generally, transactions that qualify for net accounting treatment consist of the sale of supplier service contracts for which the Company has no continuing involvement or the performance of logistics services to deliver product for which the Company is not the primary obligor.

The Company must also make estimates related to the recognition of consideration received from suppliers for price protection, product rebates, marketing/promotional activities, or any other programs. Consideration received or due from these supplier programs are recognized when earned under the terms and conditions of the supplier programs as adjustments to product costs, or selling, general and administrative expenses depending upon the nature and contractual requirements related to the consideration received. Some of these supplier programs may extend over one or more reporting periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 15 of this Report for the discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company seeks to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements, from time to time, which are intended to provide an economic hedge against all or a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. The Company continues to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged.

The following table sets forth the scheduled maturities of the Company’s debt outstanding at June 28, 2014 (dollars in millions):

Average interest rate	1.1		%			1.1		%

______________________


(1)	Excludes discounts on long-term notes. Fair value was estimated primarily based upon quoted market prices for the Company's long-term notes.

Many of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies. This subjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reduces this risk by utilizing natural hedging (i.e., offsetting receivables and payables) as well as by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts typically with maturities of less than sixty days ("economic hedges"). The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks to the extent they are not hedged. The Company adjusts any economic hedges to fair value through the consolidated statements of operations primarily within "other income (expense), net." Therefore, the changes in valuation of the underlying items being economically hedged are offset by the changes in fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts. The amounts representing the fair value of foreign exchange contracts, based upon level 2 criteria under the fair value hierarchy, are classified in the captions “other current assets” or “accrued expenses and other,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and were not material as of June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013. The Company did not have material gains or losses related to the forward foreign exchange contracts during fiscal 2014 and 2013. A hypothetical 10% change in currency exchange rates under the contracts outstanding at June 28, 2014

would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $50.0 million to the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts, which would generally be offset by an opposite effect on the underlying exposure being economically hedged.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The financial statements and supplementary data are listed under Item 15 of this Report.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the reporting period covered by this report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-K, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the 1992 framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2014.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of June 28, 2014, as stated in its audit report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Avnet, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Avnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 28, 2014. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 28, 2014, as listed in the accompanying index. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements, an opinion on the financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avnet, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 28, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 28, 2014, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Furthermore, in our opinion, Avnet, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avnet, Inc. and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Avnet"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.

Fiscal year — The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday closest to June 30th. Fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012 all contained 52 weeks. Unless otherwise noted, all references to “fiscal 2014” or any other “year” shall mean the Company’s fiscal year.

Management estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories — Inventories, comprised principally of finished goods, are stated at cost (first-in, first-out) or market, whichever is lower. The Company regularly reviews the cost of inventory against its estimated market value, considering any rights of return or price protection provided by the Company’s suppliers, and records a lower of cost or market write-down if any inventories have a cost in excess of their estimated market value.

Investments — Investments in joint ventures and entities ("ventures") in which the Company has an ownership interest of greater than 50% and exercises control over the ventures are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Non-controlling interests in the years presented are not material and, as a result, are included in the caption “accrued expenses and other” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Investments in ventures in which the Company exercises significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in ventures in which the Company’s ownership interest is less than 20% and over which the Company does not exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method. The Company monitors ventures for events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of a venture is less than its carrying value, in which case the Company would further review the venture to determine if it is other-than-temporarily impaired. During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Company did not have any material investments in ventures.

Depreciation , amortization and useful lives — The Company reports property, plant and equipment at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire or construct the assets, required installation costs, interest capitalized during the construction period, and any expenditure that substantially adds to the value of or substantially extends the useful life of an existing asset. Additionally, the Company capitalizes qualified costs related to software obtained or developed for internal use. Software obtained for internal use has generally been enterprise-level business and finance software that is customized to meet the Company’s specific operational requirements. The Company begins depreciation and amortization ("depreciation") for property, plant and equipment when an asset is both in the location and condition for its intended use.

Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment is generally provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the long-lived assets. The estimated useful lives for property, plant, and equipment are typically as follows: buildings — 30 years; machinery, fixtures and equipment — 2-10 years; information technology hardware and software — 2-10 years; and leasehold improvements — over the applicable remaining lease term or useful life if shorter.

The Company amortizes intangible assets acquired in business combinations using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the intangible assets from the date of acquisition, which is generally between 2-10 years.

Long-lived assets impairment — Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. An impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. An impairment is measured as the amount by which

Table of Contents

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

an asset group's net book value exceeds its estimated fair value. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely

independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company considers a long-lived asset to be abandoned when it has ceased use of such abandoned asset and if the Company has no intent to use or repurpose the asset in the future. The Company continually evaluates the carrying value and the remaining economic useful life of all long-lived assets and will adjust the carrying value and the related depreciation and amortization period if and when appropriate.

Goodwill — Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but instead tests goodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter and, if necessary, records any impairment resulting from such impairment testing. Impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, and the Company has identified six reporting units, defined as each of the three regions (Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific) within the Company’s two reportable segments. The Company will perform an impairment test between scheduled annual tests if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill is less than its carrying value.

In performing goodwill impairment testing, the Company may first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is not greater than its carrying value, the Company must perform a two-step impairment test. The Company defines the fair value of a reporting unit as the price that would be received to sell the reporting unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To determine fair value of a reporting unit, the Company primarily uses the income approach methodology of valuation, which includes the discounted cash flow method, and the market approach methodology of valuation, which considers values of comparable businesses to estimate the fair values of the Company’s reporting units.

Significant management judgment is required when estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting units from a market participant perspective including the forecasting of future operating results, the discount rates and expected future growth rates used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation, and in the selection of comparable businesses that are used in the market approach. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further analysis is required.

If the carrying value assigned to a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value in the first step, then the Company is required to perform the second step of the impairment test. In this step, the Company assigns the fair value of the reporting unit calculated in the first step to all of the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit, as if a market participant just acquired the reporting unit in a business combination. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit determined in the first step of the impairment test over the total amount assigned to the assets and liabilities in the second step of the impairment test represents the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. If there is no such excess then all goodwill for a reporting unit is considered impaired.

Foreign currency translation — The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the related translation adjustments reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Avnet subsidiaries that are party to the transactions (primarily trade receivables and payables) are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date or upon settlement of the transaction. Gains and losses from such translation are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of “other income (expense), net.” In fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, gains or losses on foreign currency translation were not material.

Income taxes — The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax impact of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period in which the new rate is enacted. Based upon historical and estimated levels of future taxable income and analysis of other key factors, the Company may increase or decrease a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as deemed necessary, to state such assets at their estimated net realizable value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company establishes contingent liabilities for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain tax matters. These liabilities are based on management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. There may be differences between the estimated and actual outcomes of these matters that may result in future changes in estimates to such contingent liabilities. To the extent such changes in estimates are required, the Company’s effective tax rate may potentially fluctuate as a result. In accordance with the Company's accounting policies, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense.

Self-insurance — In the United States, the Company is primarily self-insured for workers’ compensation, medical, and general, product and automobile liability costs; however, the Company also has stop-loss insurance policies in place to limit the Company’s exposure to individual and aggregate claims made. Liabilities for these programs are estimated based upon outstanding claims and claims estimated to be incurred but not yet reported based upon historical loss experience. These estimates are subject to variability due to changes in trends of losses for outstanding claims and incurred but not recorded claims, including external factors such as future inflation rates, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns.

Revenue recognition —Revenue from the sale of products or services is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met upon either shipment or delivery to customers, depending upon the sales terms. Most of the Company’s product sales come from products Avnet purchases from a supplier and holds in inventory. A portion of the Company’s sales are products shipped directly from its suppliers to its customers ("drop-ship"). In such drop-ship arrangements, Avnet negotiates the price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the products shipped and bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers. Furthermore, in such drop-shipment arrangements, the Company bears responsibility for accepting returns of products from the customer even if the Company, in turn, has a right to return the products to the original supplier if the products are defective. Under these sales terms, the Company serves as the principal with the customer and, therefore, recognizes the gross sale and cost of sale of the product upon shipment by the supplier.

In addition, the Company has certain contractual relationships with a limited number of its customers and suppliers whereby Avnet assumes an agency relationship in the transaction. In such arrangements, the Company recognizes the net fee associated with serving as an agent in sales with no associated cost of sales.

Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized ratably over the life of the contracts, generally ranging from one to three years.

Revenues are recorded net of discounts, rebates and estimated returns. Provisions are made for discounts and rebates, which are primarily timing or volume specific, and are estimated based on historical trends and anticipated customer buying patterns. Provisions for returns and other sales adjustments are estimated based on historical sales returns experience, credit memo experience and other known factors.

Vendor allowances and consideration — Consideration received from suppliers for price protection, product rebates, marketing/promotional activities, or any other programs are recorded when earned under the terms and conditions of such supplier programs as adjustments to product costs or selling, general and administrative expenses depending upon the nature and contractual requirements related to the consideration received. Some of these supplier programs may extend over one or more reporting periods and may require management to make estimates.

Comprehensive income — Comprehensive income represents net income for the year adjusted for certain changes in shareholders’ equity. Accumulated comprehensive income items impacting comprehensive income typically include currency translation and the impact of the Company’s pension liability adjustments, net of tax (see Note 4).

Stock-based compensation —The Company measures stock-based payments at fair value and generally recognizes the associated operating expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period (see Note 12). A stock-based payment is considered vested for accounting expense attribution purposes when the employee's retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing continued service. Accordingly, the Company recognizes all stock-based compensation expense for an award on the grant date for awards granted to retirement eligible employees or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if less than the stated requisite service period. The expense attribution approach for retirement eligible employees does not affect the overall amount of compensation expense recognized, but instead accelerates the recognition of expense.

Restructuring and Exit Activities — The Company accounts for employee termination benefits that represent a one-time benefit in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. If applicable, the Company records such costs into operating

Table of Contents

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

expense over the terminated employee’s future service period beyond any minimum retention period. Other costs associated with restructuring or exit activities may include contract termination costs including operating leases and impairments of long-lived

assets, which are expensed in accordance with ASC 420 and ASC 360, respectively.

Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting and records any identifiable definite-lived intangible assets separate from goodwill. Intangible assets are recorded at their fair value based on estimates as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded as the residual amount of the purchase price consideration less the fair value assigned to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration, which represents an obligation of the acquirer to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the former owner as part of the exchange if specified future events occur or conditions are met, is accounted for at the acquisition date fair value either as a liability or as equity depending on the terms of the acquisition agreement.

Concentration of credit risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in overnight Eurodollar time deposits and institutional money market funds with the highest rated financial institutions. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, in some instances, has obtained credit insurance coverage to reduce such risk. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses from customers, but has not historically experienced any material losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular end market or geographic area.

Fair value — The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value based upon an exit price, representing the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Accounting standards require inputs used in valuation techniques for measuring fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis be assigned to a hierarchical level as follows: Level 1 are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 are observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data and Level 3 are unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. During fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, there were no transfers of assets measured at fair value between the three levels of fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair values at June 28, 2014 due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. At June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, the Company had $19.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of cash equivalents that were measured at fair value based upon Level 1 criteria. See Note 7 for further discussion of the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and Note 10 for a discussion of the fair value of the Company's pension plan assets.

Derivative financial instruments — Many of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies. This subjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reduces this risk by utilizing natural hedging (i.e., offsetting receivables and payables) as well as by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts typically with maturities of less than 60 days ("economic hedges"). The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks to the extent they are not economically hedged. The Company adjusts any economic hedges to fair value through the consolidated statements of operations primarily within "other income (expense), net." Therefore, the changes in valuation of the underlying items being economically hedged are offset by the changes in fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts. The amounts representing the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts, based upon Level 2 criteria under the fair value hierarchy, are classified in the captions “other current assets” or “accrued expenses and other,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and were not material as of June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013. The Company did not have material gains or losses related to the forward foreign exchange contracts during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.

The Company does not hedge its investments in its foreign operations. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and monitors the financial stability and credit standing of its counterparties.

Accounts receivable securitization — The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program whereby the Company sells certain receivables and retains a subordinated interest and servicing rights to those receivables. The securitization program does not qualify for sales accounting and is accounted for as a secured financing as discussed further in Note 3.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements — In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists ("ASU 2013-11"). ASU 2013-11 requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits ("UTBs") against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax

Table of Contents

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

positions. UTBs are required to be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs. ASU 2013-11 is effective for years, including interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"), which changes the criteria for determining which disposals should be presented as discontinued operations and the related disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-08 is effective for the Company on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 with early adoption permitted for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principles of ASU 2014-09 are to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Application of the requirements of ASU 2014-09 may require more judgment and estimates within the revenue recognition process compared to existing GAAP. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using either of two acceptable adoption methods: (i) retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined within ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the future adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions and divestitures

2014 Acquisitions

During fiscal 2014, the Company acquired three businesses with historical annualized sales of approximately $492.0 million. Cash paid for acquisitions during fiscal 2014 was $116.9 million, net of cash acquired and contingent consideration. The Company has not disclosed the pro-forma impact of the fiscal 2014 acquisitions as such impact was not material.

The gross consideration for the acquisitions was $219.7 million, which consisted of the following (in thousands):



Cash paid	$	181,645
Contingent consideration	38,081
Total consideration	$	219,726

The contingent consideration arrangements stipulate that the Company pay up to a maximum of approximately $50.0 million of additional consideration to the former shareholders of the acquired businesses based upon the achievement of certain future operating results. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using an income approach, which is based on significant inputs, primarily forecasted future operating results of the acquired businesses, not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The Company adjusts the fair value of contingent consideration within operating expenses as a result of the passage of time and if there are changes to the inputs used in the income approach.

The Company has not yet completed its evaluation and determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired, primarily (i) the final assessment of working capital acquired and liabilities assumed, and (ii) the final valuation of certain income tax accounts. The Company expects these final valuations and assessments will be completed by the first quarter of fiscal 2015, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values presented in the following table:

With respect to the businesses acquired during fiscal 2013, the Company is unable to determine the amount of sales and earnings of each business subsequent to their respective acquisition dates as each business has been integrated into the Company.

Internix, Inc., a company publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, was acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 through a tender offer. After assessing the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the consideration paid was below fair value even though the price paid per share represented a premium to the trading levels at that time. During fiscal 2013, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase related to Internix of $32.7 million before and after tax and $0.23 per share on a diluted basis.

In addition to the acquisitions described above, during fiscal 2013, the Company acquired the remaining non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary for a purchase price that was less than its carrying value. The Company has reflected the difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for fiscal 2013.

With respect to the businesses acquired during fiscal 2012, the Company is unable to determine the amount of sales and earnings of each business subsequent to their respective acquisition dates as each business has been integrated into the Company.

Unidux Electronic Limited, a Singapore publicly traded company, was acquired in January 2012 through a tender offer. After assessing the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the consideration paid was below fair value even though the price paid per share represented a premium to the trading levels at that time. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $4.3 million before and after tax and $0.03 per share on a diluted basis.

Divestitures

During fiscal 2013, the Company divested a small business in TS Asia for which it recognized a loss of $1.7 million before and after tax and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis, which was classified within "Gain on legal settlement, bargain purchase and other."

During fiscal 2012, the Company recognized a loss of $1.4 million before tax, $0.9 million after tax and $0.01 per diluted share classified within "Gain on legal settlement, bargain purchase and other" in the consolidated statements of operations related to the impairment of an investment in a small technology company and the write-off of certain deferred financing costs associated with the early termination of a credit facility.

3. Accounts receivable securitization

Pursuant to the Company's accounts receivable securitization agreement (the “Program”) with a group of financial institutions, as amended, the Company may sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest of up to $800.0 million in eligible U.S. receivables while retaining a subordinated interest in the receivables sold. The eligible receivables are sold through a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity ("SPE") that is consolidated for financial reporting purposes as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the SPE. Such eligible receivables are not directly available to satisfy potential claims of the Company’s creditors. As the Program does not qualify for sales accounting, the receivables and related short-term debt obligation remains on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Program has a one-year term that expires at the end of August 2014, at which time it is expected to be renewed for another one to two years on comparable terms. The Program contains certain covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of June 28, 2014. There were $615.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Program as of June 28, 2014 and $360.0 million as of June 29, 2013. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.35%. The facility fee is 0.35%.

Share repurchase program

In August 2012, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Company's existing share repurchase program to authorize the repurchase of up to $750.0 million of common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors such as price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and prevailing market conditions. During fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased 0.2 million shares under this program at an average market price of $41.46 per share for a total cost of $8.6 million. Repurchased shares were retired. Since the beginning of the repurchase program through the end of fiscal 2014, the Company has repurchased 18.1 million shares at an aggregate cost of $534.1 million, and $215.9 million remains available for future repurchases under the share repurchase program.

Common stock dividend

In May 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.15 per common share to the shareholders of record on June 3, 2014. Dividend payments of $20.7 million were made in June 2014.

6. Goodwill and intangible assets

The following table presents the change in goodwill balances by reportable segment for fiscal year 2014. All of the accumulated impairment was recognized in fiscal 2009.

Carrying value at June 28, 2014	$	668,457		$	680,011		$	1,348,468

The goodwill additions are a result of businesses acquired during fiscal 2014 (see Note 2) and goodwill adjustments represent the net purchase accounting adjustments for acquisitions during the related measurement periods.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually as of the first day of its fiscal fourth quarter. The Company will perform an impairment test between required annual tests if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill is less than its carrying value. Once goodwill has been assigned to a reporting unit, for accounting purposes, the goodwill is no longer directly associated with the underlying acquisitions that the goodwill originated from, but rather the reporting unit to which it has been assigned. During Fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Company elected to perform the first-step of the two-step goodwill impairment test instead of first performing a qualitative goodwill impairment test.

The first step in a two-step impairment test is the comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Based upon the Company’s annual impairment tests performed for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, there was no impairment of goodwill in the respective fiscal years.

The following table presents the Company’s identifiable intangible assets, which have a weighted average life of approximately 8 years for each fiscal year presented:

At the end of fiscal 2014, the Company had a five-year $1.00 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2012 Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, which expires in November 2016. Under the 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. The 2012 Credit Facility contains certain covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of June 28, 2014. At June 28, 2014, there were letters of credit aggregating to $2.0 million outstanding which represents a utilization of the 2012 Credit Facility capacity but are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as the letters of credit are not debt. At June 29, 2013, there were letters of credit aggregating $2.3 million outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In July 2014, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2014, the Company terminated the 2012 Credit Facility and entered into a five-year $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2014 Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, consisting of revolving credit facilities and the issuance of up to $150.00 million of letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the 2014 Credit Facility may be increased up to $1.50 billion. Under the 2014 Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. The 2014 Credit Facility contains certain covenants, which are substantially similar to those covenants contained in the 2012 Credit Facility. The 2014 Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in July 2019.

Aggregate debt maturities for the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

The tax provision is computed based upon income before income taxes from both U.S. and foreign operations. U.S. income before income taxes was $235.4 million, $174.0 million and $320.3 million and foreign income before income taxes was $465.7 million, $375.3 million and $470.4 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Reconciliations of the federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rates are as follows:



	Years Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 30, 2012
Federal statutory rate	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%
State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit	1.3		1.1		1.8
Foreign tax rates, net of valuation allowances	(9.3	)	(7.2	)	(5.4	)

Other, net	0.7		1.2		0.2
Effective tax rate	22.2	%	18.1	%	28.3	%

Foreign tax rates represents the impact of the difference between foreign and federal statutory rates applied to foreign income or loss and also include the impact of valuation allowances established against the Company's otherwise realizable foreign deferred tax assets, which are primarily loss carry-forwards.

The Company applies the guidance in ASC 740, which requires management to use its judgment to the appropriate weighting of all available evidence when assessing the need for the establishment or the release of valuation allowances. As part of this analysis, the Company examines all available evidence on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis and weighs the positive and negative evidence when determining the need for full or partial valuation allowances. The evidence considered for each jurisdiction includes, among other items: (i) the historic levels of income or losses over a range of time periods, which may extend beyond the most recent three fiscal years depending upon the historical volatility of income in an individual jurisdiction; (ii) expectations and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

risk associated with underlying estimates of future taxable income, including considering the historical trend of down-cycles in the semiconductor and related industries; and (iii) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

ASC 740 requires a preponderance of positive evidence in order to reach a conclusion to release all or a portion of a valuation allowance when negative evidence exists. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets and will adjust the valuation allowance as deemed appropriate which, if reduced, could result in a significant decrease to the effective tax rate in the period of the adjustment.

No provision for U.S. income taxes has been made for approximately $2.77 billion of cumulative unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries at June 28, 2014 because those earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. A hypothetical calculation of the deferred tax liability, assuming those earnings were remitted, is not practicable.

The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities, included primarily in “other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets, are as follows:



	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
	(Thousands)
Deferred tax assets:
Federal, state and foreign tax loss carry-forwards	$	336,334		$	333,940
Inventories valuation	$	18,442		$	19,509
Receivables valuation	26,022			27,185

Deferred tax liabilities:
Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment	(46,294		)	(50,469		)
Net deferred tax assets	$	150,708		$	132,375

The change in valuation allowances from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014 was primarily due to (i) a net reduction of $52.7 million primarily due to the above mentioned release of a valuation allowance in EMEA, $33.4 million of which impacted the effective tax rate while the remainder was offset in deferred income taxes, and (ii) a net expense of $4.1 million primarily related to rate changes on valuation allowances previously established in various foreign jurisdictions.

As of June 28, 2014, the Company had foreign net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1.25 billion, of which $6.2 million will expire during fiscal 2015 and 2016, substantially all of which have full valuation allowances, $278.4 million have expiration dates ranging from fiscal 2017 to 2034 and the remaining $961.3 million have no expiration date. The carrying value of the Company’s foreign net operating loss carry-forwards is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain foreign tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company considers historic levels of income or losses, expectations and risk associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing a tax valuation allowance.

Estimated liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are included in “accrued expenses and other” and “other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. These contingent liabilities relate to various tax matters that result from uncertainties in the application of complex income tax regulations in the numerous jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The change in such liabilities during fiscal 2014 is primarily due to favorable audit settlements, which are included in the “reductions for tax positions taken in prior periods” caption in the following table. As of June 28, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits were $128.2 million, of which approximately $112.2 million, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate and the remaining balance would be substantially offset by valuation allowances. As of June 29, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits were $123.9 million, of which approximately $117.7 million, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate, and the remaining balance would be substantially offset by valuation allowances. The estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits included accrued interest expense and penalties of $25.3 million and $25.0 million, net of applicable state tax benefit, as of the end of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Reconciliations of the beginning and ending liability balances for unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:



	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
	(Thousands)
Balance at beginning of year	$	123,930		$	146,626
Additions for tax positions taken in prior periods, including interest	15,966			11,732
Reductions for tax positions taken in prior periods, including interest	(880		)	(33,776		)
Additions for tax positions taken in current period	8,364			7,445
Reductions related to settlements with taxing authorities	(14,250		)	(9,064		)
Reductions related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations	(7,571		)	(2,812		)
Adjustments related to foreign currency translation	2,662			3,779
Balance at end of year	$	128,221		$	123,930

The evaluation of income tax positions requires management to estimate the ability of the Company to sustain its position and estimate the final benefit to the Company. To the extent that these estimates do not reflect the actual outcome there could be an impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the position is settled, the applicable statutes of limitations expire or new information becomes available as the impact of these events are recognized in the period in which they occur. It is difficult to estimate the period in which the amount of a tax position will change as settlement may include administrative and legal proceedings whose timing the Company cannot control. The effects of settling tax positions with tax authorities and statute expirations may significantly impact the estimate for unrecognized tax benefits. Within the next twelve months, management estimates that approximately $21.5 million of these liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits will be settled by the expiration of the statutes of limitations or through through agreement with the tax authorities for tax positions related to valuation matters and positions related to acquired entities; such matters are common to multinational companies. The expected cash payment related to the settlement of these contingencies is $7.8 million.

The Company conducts business globally and consequently files income tax returns in numerous jurisdictions including those listed in the following table. It is also routinely subject to audit in these and other countries. The Company is no longer subject to audit in its major jurisdictions for periods prior to fiscal year 2008. The years remaining subject to audit, by major jurisdiction, are as follows:



Jurisdiction		Fiscal Year

10. Pension and retirement plans

Pension Plan

The Company’s noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covers substantially all domestic employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan following the first year of service during which they worked at least 1,000 hours. The Plan provides defined benefits pursuant to a cash balance feature whereby a participant accumulates a benefit based upon a

percentage of current salary, which varies with age, and interest credits. The Company uses its fiscal year end as the measurement date for determining pension expense and benefit obligations for each fiscal year. The disclosures below do not include the pension plans of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and other defined benefit plans, which are not considered material.

The following table outlines changes in benefit obligations, plan assets and the funded status of the Plan as of the end of fiscal 2014 and 2013:

The Plan was amended effective June 1, 2012 to improve pre-retirement death benefits so that the pre-retirement death benefits will be payable without regard to marital status, and will be based on 100% of the participant's vested cash account. The increase in liability was recognized as a prior service cost and amortization began in fiscal year 2013.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 28, 2014 is pre-tax expense of $158.1 million of net actuarial losses which have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost, of which $13.0 million is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost during fiscal 2015. Also included is a pre-tax benefit of $6.1 million of prior service credits which have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension costs, of which $1.6 million is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic pension costs during fiscal 2015.

Weighted average assumptions used to calculate actuarial present values of benefit obligations are as follows:



	2014	2013
Discount rate	4.00%	4.50%

Table of Contents

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The discount rate selected by the Company for the Plan reflects the current rate at which the underlying liability could be settled at the measurement date as of June 28, 2014. The selected discount rate is based primarily upon an average rate determined by matching the expected cash outflows of the Plan to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of highly rated (minimum AA rating) fixed-income debt instruments with maturities consistent with the expected cash outflows.

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net benefit costs are as follows:



	2014	2013
Discount rate	4.50%	4.00%
Expected return on plan assets	8.50%	8.50%

Components of net periodic pension cost during the last three fiscal years are as follows:

The Company made $40.0 million of contributions in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 and expects to make approximately $40.0 million of contributions in fiscal 2015.

Benefit payments are expected to be paid to Plan participants as follows for the next five fiscal years and the aggregate for the five years thereafter (in thousands):

The Plan’s assets are held in trust and were allocated as follows as of the measurement date at the end of fiscal 2014 and 2013:



	2014		2013
Equity securities	75	%	75	%
Fixed income debt securities	24	%	24	%
Cash and cash equivalents	1	%	1	%

The general investment objectives of the Plan are to maximize returns through a diversified investment portfolio in order to earn annualized returns that meet the long-term cost of funding the Plan’s pension obligations while maintaining reasonable and prudent levels of risk. The target rate of return on Plan assets is currently 8.5%, which represents the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligation. This assumption has been determined by combining expectations regarding future rates of return for the investment portfolio along with the historical and expected distribution of investments by asset class and the historical rates of return for each of those asset classes. The mix of equity securities is typically diversified to obtain a blend of domestic and international investments covering multiple industries. The Plan assets do not include any material investments in Avnet common stock. The Plan’s investments in debt

securities are also diversified across both public and private fixed income securities. The Company’s current target allocation for the investment portfolio is for equity securities, both domestic and international, to represent approximately 76.0% of the portfolio with a policy for minimum investment in equity securities of approximately 60.0% of the portfolio and a maximum of approximately 92.0%. The majority of the remaining portfolio of investments is to be invested in fixed income debt securities.

The fair value of Plan’s investments in equity and fixed income investments are stated at unit value, or the equivalent of net asset value, which is a practical expedient for estimating the fair values of those investments. Each of these investments may be redeemed daily without notice and there were no material unfunded commitments as of June 28, 2014.

The fixed income investments provide a steady return with medium volatility and assist with capital preservation and income generation. The equity investments have higher expected volatility and return than the fixed income investments.

11. Operating leases

The Company leases many of its operating facilities and is also committed under lease agreements for transportation and operating equipment. Rent expense charged to operating expenses during the last three fiscal years is as follows:

12. Stock-based compensation

The Company measures all stock-based payments at fair value and recognizes related expense within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). During fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $45.9 million, $43.7 million and $35.7 million, respectively, for all forms of stock-based compensation awards.

Stock plan

At June 28, 2014, the Company had 11.3 million shares of common stock reserved for stock-based awards, which consisted of 1.8 million for stock options granted but not yet vested and vested but not yet exercised, 6.4 million available for future awards under plans approved by shareholders, 2.8 million for restricted stock incentive and performance shares granted but not yet vested, and 0.4 million shares available for future award under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP").

Stock options

Stock option grants have a contractual life of ten years, vest in 25% increments on each anniversary of the grant date, commencing with the first anniversary, and require an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $4.7 million, $4.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model based on the assumptions in the following table. The assumption for the expected term is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates as of the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date. The historical volatility of Avnet’s common stock is used as the basis for the volatility assumption. The Company estimates dividend yield based upon expectations of future dividends as of the grant date.

Non-vested stock options at June 28, 2014	988,656		$	10.86

As of June 28, 2014, there was $2.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of shares vested, as of the vesting dates, during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $3.7 million, $3.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Cash received from stock option exercises during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 totaled $4.7 million, $2.1 million, and $2.4 million, respectively. The impact of these cash receipts is included in “Other, net” as financing activity in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Restricted incentive shares

Delivery of restricted incentive shares, and the associated compensation expense, is spread equally over the vesting period and is generally subject to the employee’s continued service and employment by the Company, except for employees who are retirement eligible. As of June 28, 2014, 2.0 million shares previously awarded have not yet vested. Stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted incentive shares was $34.4 million, $26.8 million and $21.0 million for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following is a summary of the changes in non-vested restricted incentive shares for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2014:



	Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested restricted incentive shares at June 29, 2013	2,009,510		$	29.62
Granted	1,060,152		39.05

Forfeited	(95,355	)	$	33.54
Non-vested restricted incentive shares at June 28, 2014	2,001,887		$	33.60

As of June 28, 2014, there was $51.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted incentive shares, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. The total fair value of restricted incentive shares vested during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $30.5 million, $25.4 million and $19.5 million, respectively.

Performance shares

Eligible employees, including Avnet’s executive officers, may receive a portion of their long-term stock-based incentive compensation through the performance share program, which allows for the vesting of shares based upon achievement of certain performance-based criteria (“Performance Share Program”). The Performance Share Program provides for the vesting to each grantee of a number of shares of Avnet’s common stock at the end of a three-year period based upon the Company’s achievement of certain performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for each Performance Share Program three-year period. The performance goals consist of measures of economic profit and total shareholder return.

During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted 0.2 million, 0.3 million and 0.3 million performance shares, respectively, of which approximately none have been forfeited. The actual amount of performance shares vested at the end of each three-year period is measured based upon the level of achievement of the defined performance goals and can range from 0% to 200% of the initial award grant. During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the Performance Share Program of $5.8 million, $11.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively.

Director stock-based compensation

Non-employee directors are awarded shares equal to a fixed dollar amount of Avnet common stock upon their re-election each year, as part of their director compensation. Directors may elect to receive this compensation in the form of common stock or they may elect to defer their compensation to be paid in common stock at a later date. During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, compensation expense associated with the outside director stock-based compensation plan was $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Employee stock purchase plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") under the terms of which eligible employees of the Company are allowed to purchase shares of Avnet common stock at a price equal to 95% of the fair market value on the last day of each monthly offering period. The ESPP is not compensatory based on its terms.

The Company has a policy of repurchasing shares on the open market to satisfy shares purchased by employees under the ESPP, and expects future repurchases during fiscal 2015 to be similar to the number of shares repurchased during fiscal 2014, based on current estimates of participation in the ESPP program. During each of fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, 0.06 million shares of common stock were purchased under the ESPP program.

13. Commitments and contingencies

Bell

During fiscal 2011, the Company recognized a contingent liability for potential unpaid import duties associated with the acquisition of Bell. Prior to the acquisition of Bell by Avnet, Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) initiated a review of the importing process at one of Bell’s subsidiaries and identified compliance deficiencies. Subsequent to the acquisition of Bell by Avnet, CBP began a compliance audit. The Company evaluated projected duties, interest and penalties that potentially may be

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

imposed as a result of the audit and recognized a contingent liability of $10.0 million which was recorded to goodwill in fiscal 2011. Depending on the ultimate resolution of the matter with CBP, the Company estimates that the range of the potential exposure associated with the liability may be up to $73.0 million; however, the Company believes the contingent liability recorded is a reasonable estimate of the liability based upon the facts currently available at this time.

LCD Class Action Settlement

The Company filed a proof of claim in the settlement of a class action proceeding that sought damages from certain manufacturers of LCD flat panel displays. A settlement was reached in the proceedings and in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 the federal district judge overseeing the proceeding issued an order approving the distribution of settlement funds to the class claimants and the Company received an award payment of $19.1 million. In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the federal district judge overseeing the proceedings issued an order approving a final distribution of funds and the Company received a final award payment of $3.0 million. The total award of $22.1 million is classified within "gain on legal settlement, bargain purchase and other" in the consolidated statements of operations.

Other

From time to time, the Company may become a party to, or be otherwise involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management does not anticipate that any ongoing matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Options to purchase 0.6 million and 0.2 million shares for fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per shares because the exercise price for those options was above the average market price of the Company’s stock during such fiscal years. Inclusion of these options in the respective diluted earnings per share calculations would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

16. Segment information

Electronics Marketing and Technology Solutions are the Company's reportable segments ("operating groups").

EM markets and sells semiconductors and interconnect, passive and electromechanical devices and embedded products. EM markets and sells its products and services to a diverse customer base serving many end-markets including automotive, communications, computer hardware and peripheral, industrial and manufacturing, medical equipment, and defense and aerospace. EM also offers an array of value-added services that help customers evaluate, design-in and procure electronic components throughout the lifecycle of their technology products and systems. By working with EM, customers and suppliers can accelerate their time to market and realize cost efficiencies in both the design and manufacturing process.

As a leading global IT solutions distributor, TS focuses on the value-added distribution of enterprise computing servers and systems, software, storage, services and complex solutions from the world’s foremost technology manufacturers. TS partners with its customers and suppliers to create and deliver effective data center and IT lifecycle solutions that solve the business challenges of end-user customers locally and around the world. TS serves a number of customer segments, from VARs, system integrators and independent software vendors to the worldwide OEM market for computing technology and non-PC OEMs requiring embedded systems and solutions including engineering, product prototyping, integration and other value-added services. TS also provides the latest hard disk drives, microprocessor, motherboard and DRAM module technologies to manufacturers of general-purpose computers and system builders.

At the beginning of fiscal 2014, the Company began excluding amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets from the operating income of the EM and TS operating groups in order to measure such operating results consistent with how many technology companies measure operating performance and given that such amortization expense is non-cash in nature. As a result of this change, prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the new measure of profitability used during fiscal 2014. The change in the measure of operating group profitability did not impact the determination of the Company’s operating groups or the previously reported consolidated financial results.

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

At the beginning of fiscal 2014, a portion of the Company's reverse logistics operations, which was previously included in the EM operating group, was combined within the TS operating group. The Company also combined its regional computing components operations within EM and TS into a single global organization within TS. As a result of these changes, sales, operating income and assets previously reported in the EM operating group in fiscal 2013 have been included within the TS operating group in fiscal 2014. The Company does not view the amount of sales, operating income, or assets of such transferred operations to be a material change to the composition of its operating groups for financial reporting purposes. Sales related to such transferred operations reported in the EM operating group in fiscal 2013 were $443.3 million. The transfer of such operations between operating groups did not impact the determination of the Company’s operating groups or the previously reported consolidated financial results.
