1. Basis of presentation and new accounting pronouncements

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly Avnet, Inc.'s and its consolidated subsidiaries' (the “Company” or “Avnet”) financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2015.

 

Fiscal year

 

The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year and fiscal 2016 contains 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks in fiscal 2015. As a result, the first nine months of fiscal 2016 contained 40 weeks compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2015, which contained 39 weeks.

 

New accounting pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The update requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, the update will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740):  Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The planned early adoption of this update at the end of fiscal 2016 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s 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 revenue 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. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year delay in the effective date of ASU 2014-09, which makes the effective date for the Company the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company may adopt the requirements of ASU 2014-09 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 impact of the future adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements, including the method of adoption to be used.

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The update requires that an acquiror recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, including the cumulative effect of the change in provisional amount as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company early adopted this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. 

 

2. Acquisitions

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company acquired two businesses with aggregated annualized sales of approximately $120.0 million for an aggregate purchase price of $36.4 million. The Company paid cash of $19.7 million, net of cash acquired, for such acquisitions in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company has not disclosed the pro-forma impact of the fiscal 2016 acquisitions, as such impact was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.  

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, there were no material measurement period adjustments for the fiscal 2016 acquisitions.

 

3. Goodwill and intangible assets

 

Goodwill

 

The following table presents the change in goodwill by reportable segment for the nine months ended April 2, 2016. All of the accumulated impairment was recognized in fiscal 2009.

 

 

 

The goodwill additions are a result of businesses acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

 

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but instead tests goodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter. The Company determined there was no goodwill impairment at any of its reporting units as a result of the fiscal 2015 goodwill impairment testing. As a result of the fiscal 2015 goodwill impairment testing, two reporting units (TS Asia and TS EMEA) had estimated fair values that were not substantially in excess of the carrying value of such reporting units. The Company evaluates each quarter 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, which would require the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. Indicators the Company

evaluates to determine whether an interim goodwill impairment test is necessary include, but are not limited to (i) a sustained decrease in share price or market capitalization, (ii) changes in the macroeconomic or industry environments and (iii) the financial performance of its reporting units. During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company concluded that an interim goodwill impairment test was not necessary. 

 

In assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company is required to make significant assumptions, judgments and estimates including evaluating whether facts and circumstances indicate that an interim goodwill impairment test is necessary. These assumptions, judgments and estimates may change in the future based upon market conditions or other events and could result in a goodwill impairment. The Company continues to evaluate each quarter those indicators that may require an interim goodwill impairment test. 

 

Intangible Assets

 

The following table presents the Company’s acquired intangible assets at April 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, respectively. These intangible assets have a weighted average remaining useful life of approximately 4 years.

 

 

 

Intangible asset amortization expense was $6.9 million and $10.6 million for the third quarters of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $21.2 million and $32.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following table presents the estimated future amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2016, the next five fiscal years and thereafter (in thousands):

 

 

 

 

 

4. Debt

 

Short-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

 

 

 

Bank credit facilities and other consists primarily of various committed and uncommitted lines of credit and other forms of bank debt with financial institutions utilized primarily to support the working capital requirements of the Company including its foreign operations.

 

In August 2014, the Company amended and extended its accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with a group of financial institutions to allow the Company to transfer, on an ongoing revolving basis, an undivided interest in a designated pool of trade accounts receivable, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $900.0 million. The Program does not qualify for off balance sheet accounting treatment and any borrowings under the Program are recorded as debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Under the Program, the Company legally sells and isolates certain U.S. trade accounts receivable into a wholly owned and consolidated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded within “Receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $1.44 billion and $1.41 billion at April 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, respectively. The Program contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold. The Program also requires the Company to maintain certain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios, which the Company was in compliance with as of April 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015. The Program has a two-year term that expires in August 2016 and as a result is considered short-term debt as of April 2, 2016. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.38%. The facility fee is 0.38%.

 

In September 2015, the Company redeemed the $250.0 million of outstanding 6.00% Notes due September 2015, upon their maturity.

 

Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

 

 

 

In March 2016, the Company issued $550.0 million of 4.625% Notes due April 2026 (“4.625% Notes”). The Company received proceeds of $546.0 million from the offering, net of discounts and incurred $4.5 million in underwriting fees and other debt issuance costs. The 4.625% Notes rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured debt of Avnet and interest will be payable semi-annually each year on April 15 and October 15.

 

The Company has a five-year $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “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, which expires in July 2019. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Facility may be increased up to $1.5 billion. Under the Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. The Credit Facility contains certain covenants including various limitations on debt incurrence, share repurchases, dividends, investments and capital expenditures. The Credit Facility also includes financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios, which the Company was in compliance with as of April 2, 2016 and June 27, 2015. As of April 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, there were $4.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility.

 

As of April 2, 2016, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s total debt was $2.32 billion and $2.38 billion, respectively. At June 27, 2015, the carrying value and fair value of the Company's total debt was $1.98 billion and $2.04 billion, respectively. Fair value was estimated primarily based upon quoted market prices.

 

5. 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 in the same foreign currency) as well as by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign currency 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 currency exchange contracts. The fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are based upon Level 2 criteria under the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy, are classified in the captions “other current assets” or “accrued expenses and other,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance

sheets as of April 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, and were not material. The Company’s master netting and other similar arrangements with various financial institutions related to derivative financial instruments allow for the right of offset. Avnet’s policy is to present derivative financial instruments with the same counterparty as either a net asset or liability when the right of offset exists. The Company did not have material net gains or losses related to forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the third quarters and first nine months of fiscal 2016 and 2015, which are recorded as a component of “other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company generally 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.

 

6. Commitments and contingencies

 

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 such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

 

The Company also is currently subject to various pending and potential legal matters and investigations relating to compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including import/export, environmental, anticorruption and competition. For certain of these matters it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss for such matters due primarily to being in the preliminary stages of the related proceedings and investigations. The Company currently believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to its results of operations in any one reporting period.

 

As of April 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, the Company has aggregate estimated liabilities of $21.3 million and $17.2 million, respectively, classified within accrued expenses and other for such compliance-related matters that were reasonably estimable as of such dates. Of these amounts, $10.0 million relates to a contingent liability for potential unpaid import duties associated with the acquisition of Bell Microproducts Inc. for estimated duties, interest and penalties that may be imposed from an ongoing compliance audit by Customs and Border Protection.

 

7. Income taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate on its income before income taxes was 23.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared with 28.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company’s effective tax rate was favorably impacted primarily by (i) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions and (ii) the release of reserves related to the expiration of statutes of limitation. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was favorably impacted primarily by (i) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions partially offset by (ii) an increase due to the write-off of a deferred tax asset.

 

For the first nine months of fiscal 2016 and 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was 23.5% and 26.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was favorably impacted primarily by (i) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions, (ii) the release of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that were determined to be realizable and (iii) the release of reserves related to audit settlements and the expiration of statutes of limitation. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was favorably impacted by (i) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions and (ii) the release of reserves, primarily related to the formal deregistration of a foreign branch and the settlement of an audit in a foreign jurisdiction.

 

The Company applies the guidance in ASC 740, which requires management to use its judgment for 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 risks associated with underlying estimates of future taxable income, including considering the historical trend of down-cycles in the semiconductor and related industries; (iii) jurisdictional specific limitations on the utilization of deferred tax assets including when such assets expire; and (iv) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

 

The Company continues to evaluate the need for the valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets and will adjust valuation allowances as appropriate, which, if adjusted, could result in a significant decrease or increase to the effective tax rate in the period of the adjustment.

 

8. Pension plan

 

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) for which the components of net periodic pension costs were as follows:

 

 

 

The Company made contributions to the Plan of $30.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2016. The Company expects to make an additional contribution to the Plan of $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

 

The Plan meets the definition of a defined benefit plan and as a result, the Company must apply ASC 715 pension accounting to the Plan. The Plan itself, however, is a cash balance plan that is similar in nature to a defined contribution plan in that a participant's benefit is defined in terms of a stated account balance. A cash balance plan provides the Company with the benefit of applying any earnings on the Plan’s investments beyond the fixed return provided to participants, toward the Company’s future cash funding obligations.

 

Amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, to operating expenses during the third quarters and first nine months of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 were not material and substantially all related to net periodic pension costs including recognition of actuarial losses and amortization of prior service credits.

 

9. Shareholders' equity

 

Share repurchase program

 

In August 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Company’s existing share repurchase program to authorize the repurchase of up to $1.25 billion of common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. 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. During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the

Company repurchased 3.7 million shares under this program at an average market price of $39.73 per share for a total cost of $145.7 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2016, the Company repurchased 8.1 million shares under this program at an average price of $40.88 per share for a total cost of $330.8 million. Since the beginning of the repurchase program through the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company has repurchased 30.2 million shares at an aggregate cost of $1.03 billion, and $221.7 million remains available for future repurchases.

 

Common stock dividend

 

In February 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.17 per common share and dividend payments of $21.9 million were made in March 2016.

The Company includes book overdrafts as part of accounts payable on its consolidated balance sheets and reflects changes in such balances as part of cash flows from operating activities in its consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Non-cash investing activities related to purchases of property, plant and equipment that have been accrued, but not paid for, were $15.2 million and $40.0 million as of April 2, 2016, and March 28, 2015, respectively.

13. Restructuring, integration and other expenses

 

Fiscal 2016

 

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2016, the Company took certain actions in an effort to reduce future operating expenses, including the continuation of the restructuring activities started in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. These actions include activities related to the Avnet Advantage initiative, which is focused on creating long-term operational efficiencies. In addition, the Company incurred integration and other costs as discussed further below.  The following table presents the restructuring, integration and other expenses recorded during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2016:

 

 

 

The activity related to the restructuring liabilities established and other associated expenses incurred during fiscal 2016 is presented in the following table:

 

 

 

Severance expense recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 related to the reduction of approximately 560 employees, primarily in operations, sales and business support functions, in connection with cost reduction actions taken in both operating groups including the impact of a voluntary retirement program in the United States. Facility exit costs primarily consist of liabilities for remaining lease obligations for exited facilities. Asset impairments relate to the impairment of property, plant and equipment as a result of the underlying restructuring actions taken in fiscal 2016. Other restructuring costs related primarily to other miscellaneous restructuring and exit costs. Of the $39.4 million in restructuring expenses recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2016, $22.0 million related to EM and $17.4 million related to TS. The Company expects the majority of the remaining severance and facility exit costs to be paid by the end of fiscal 2016.

 

Integration costs are primarily related to the integration of acquired businesses, the integration of certain regional and global businesses, the integration of significant information technology systems and incremental costs incurred as part of the consolidation, relocation and closure of warehouse and office facilities. Integration costs include certain consulting costs for significant new information technology systems and business operation integration assistance, facility moving costs, legal fees, travel, meeting, training, marketing and communication costs that are specifically and 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, costs incurred for businesses divested or closed 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. Included in other costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was $4.3 million of expense associated with Avnet’s estimated environmental remediation obligations related to certain legacy manufacturing operations that were divested several decades ago and $5.2 million of legal expenses related to lawsuits associated with operations of an acquired business prior to Avnet’s acquisition. The remaining integration and other costs in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 were comprised of many different costs, none of which were individually material.

 

Fiscal 2015

 

During fiscal 2015, the Company incurred restructuring expenses related to various restructuring actions intended to achieve planned synergies from acquired businesses and to reduce future operating expenses. The following table presents the activity during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 related to the remaining restructuring liabilities established during fiscal 2015:

 

 

 

As of April 2, 2016, the Company expects the majority of the remaining severance and facility exit cost liabilities to be paid by the end of fiscal 2016.

 

Fiscal 2014 and prior

 

As of June 27, 2015, there were $11.8 million of restructuring liabilities remaining related to restructuring actions taken in fiscal years 2014 and prior, the majority of which relates to facility exit costs. The remaining balance for such historical restructuring actions as of April 2, 2016, was $4.8 million, which is expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2016.
