1. Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

We are a leading worldwide technology provider of integrated solutions to business and government clients. The Company is organized in the following three operating segments, which are primarily defined by their related geographies:

Our offerings in North America and select countries in EMEA include hardware, software and services. Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA segment and in APAC are largely software and select software-related services.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2015, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at such date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, due in part to the seasonal nature of our business. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. References to “the Company,” “Insight,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar words refer to Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales recognition, anticipated achievement levels under partner funding programs, assumptions related to stock-based compensation valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, litigation-related obligations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and impairment of long-lived assets, including purchased intangibles and goodwill, if indicators of potential impairment exist.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The pronouncement changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance shall be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. The new standard is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest–Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Cost.” ASU 2015-03 is designed to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amortization of debt issuance costs also shall be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued and retrospective application is required for each balance sheet presented. The new standard is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The original effective date for ASU 2014-09 would have required the Company to adopt the new standard beginning in its first quarter of 2017. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the mandatory effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, the Company may adopt the standard in either its first quarter of 2017 or 2018. An entity may choose to adopt the new standard either retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment as of the start of the first period for which it applies the new standard. We are in the process of determining the timing of our adoption and the effect that the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements. We have not yet selected our planned transition approach.

There have been no other material changes or additions to the recently issued accounting standards as previously reported in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 that affect or may affect our financial statements.

2. Net Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding restricted stock units. A reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Table of Contents

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

There were 2,000 and 1,000 anti-dilutive restricted stock units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, 5,000 and 23,000, respectively, of our restricted stock units were not included in the diluted EPS calculations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. These share-based awards could be dilutive in the future.

3. Debt, Inventory Financing Facility, Capital Lease and Other Financing Obligations

Debt

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

Our senior revolving credit facility (“revolving facility”) has an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent maximum borrowing capacity of $350,000,000 and matures on April 26, 2017. As of September 30, 2015, we had no amount outstanding under the revolving facility.

Our accounts receivable securitization financing facility (the “ABS facility”) has a maximum borrowing capacity of $200,000,000 and matures on June 30, 2017. While the ABS facility has a stated maximum amount, the actual availability under the ABS facility is limited by the quantity and quality of the underlying accounts receivable. Under the ABS facility, the floating interest rate applicable at September 30, 2015 was 1.09% per annum. As of September 30, 2015, qualified receivables were sufficient to permit access to the full $200,000,000 facility amount, of which $85,000,000 was outstanding.

Our consolidated debt balance that can be outstanding at the end of any fiscal quarter under our revolving facility and our ABS facility is limited by certain financial covenants, particularly a maximum leverage ratio. The maximum leverage ratio is calculated as aggregate debt outstanding divided by the sum of our trailing twelve month net earnings (loss) plus (i) interest expense, excluding non-cash imputed interest on our inventory financing facility, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation (“adjusted earnings”). The maximum leverage ratio permitted under the facilities is 2.75 times trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings. A significant drop in our adjusted earnings would limit the amount of indebtedness that could be outstanding at the end of any fiscal quarter to a level that would be below our consolidated maximum facility amount. Based on our maximum leverage ratio as of September 30, 2015, our aggregate debt balance that could have been outstanding under our revolving facility and our ABS facility was reduced from the maximum borrowing capacity of $550,000,000 to $486,841,000, of which $85,000,000 was outstanding at September 30, 2015.

Inventory Financing Facility

Our inventory financing facility matures on April 26, 2017 and, effective July 2, 2015, was amended to increase our maximum borrowing capacity from $200,000,000 to $250,000,000, of which $176,489,000 was outstanding at September 30, 2015.

Capital Lease and Other Financing Obligations

The present value of minimum lease payments under our capital lease, which expires on December 31, 2016, is included in our current and long-term debt balances as summarized in the table above.

From time to time, we also enter into other financing agreements with financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of products from certain vendors. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, amounts owed under other financing agreements of $1,309,000 and $1,852,000, respectively, which are payable in installments through August 2016, are included in our debt balances as summarized in the table above.

4. Severance and Restructuring Activities

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded severance expense associated with the realignment of certain roles and responsibilities.

The following table details the activity related to resource actions for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the outstanding obligations as of September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Adjustments were recorded as a reduction to severance and restructuring expense in North America and EMEA of $418,000 and $179,000, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to changes in estimates.

The remaining outstanding obligations are expected to be paid during the next 12 months and, therefore, are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

By operating segment, we recorded the following pre-tax amounts for stock-based compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in selling and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2015, total compensation cost not yet recognized related to nonvested RSUs is $15,830,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.36 years on a weighted-average basis.

The following table summarizes our RSU activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

6. Impairment Loss on Assets Held for Sale

In November 2014, we relocated our sales and administrative operations that were housed in the property that we own in Bloomingdale, Illinois. The property is classified as a held for sale asset, which is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. During the second quarter of 2014, our North America operating segment recorded non-cash charges of $5,178,000, consisting of an impairment loss of $4,558,000 and accelerated depreciation of $620,000, to reduce the carrying amount of the related assets to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. The property continues to be marketed for sale, and during the third quarter of 2015, an additional non-cash impairment charge of $800,000 was recorded based on a decline in the estimated fair market value. The estimated fair market value was derived from Level 2 fair value inputs (observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data), which included a current market analysis indicating the price per square foot of previous sale transactions involving comparable property in the Bloomingdale area. The charges are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

7. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 35.0% and 37.1%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes, net of federal benefit. Additionally, the effect of lower taxes on earnings in foreign jurisdictions was offset partially by higher losses in certain foreign jurisdictions in the 2015 periods, resulting in an increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets related to these foreign operating losses.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 34.1% and 37.4%, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was lower than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to the recognition of certain tax benefits related to the release of reserves for specific uncertain tax positions during the quarter and to lower taxes on earnings in foreign jurisdictions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes net of federal benefit and other nondeductible expenses, partially offset by lower taxes on earnings in foreign jurisdictions and the recognition of tax benefits related to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions during the third quarter of 2014.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had approximately $3,329,000 and $4,306,000, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits. Of these amounts, approximately $263,000 and $336,000, respectively, related to accrued interest.

Several of our subsidiaries are currently under audit for tax years 2006 through 2014. Although the timing of the resolutions and/or closures of audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the examination phase of these audits may be concluded within the next 12 months which could significantly increase or decrease the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits. Based on the status of the various examinations in multiple jurisdictions, however, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made at this time, but the estimated effect on our income tax expense and net earnings is not expected to be significant.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

We use derivatives to partially offset our exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. Derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet based on observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data (Level 2). Gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded currently in income. We do not designate our hedges for hedge accounting, and our foreign currency derivative instruments are not subject to any master netting arrangements with our counterparties.

Our derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2015 were not material. The effect of our derivative financial instruments on our results of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were a loss of $762,000 and a gain of $879,000, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were a loss of $726,000 and a gain of $771,000, respectively. These amounts are reported within the net foreign currency exchange (gain) loss line item in our consolidated statements of operations.

9. Fair Value Measurements

As of September 30, 2015, other than the held for sale asset discussed in Note 6, we have no non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and our other financial assets or liabilities generally consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents approximate their carrying values and are determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The fair values of the other financial assets and liabilities are based on the values that would be received or paid in an orderly transaction between market participants and approximate their carrying values due to their nature and short duration.

10. Share Repurchase Programs

In October 2013, October 2014 and February 2015, our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase programs of $50,000,000, $25,000,000 and $75,000,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased 3,300,210 shares of our common stock on the open market at a total cost of approximately $91,843,000 (an average price of $27.83 per share), which represented all remaining amounts authorized under the repurchase programs. All shares repurchased were retired.

Table of Contents

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

During the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased 1,272,299 shares of our common stock on the open market at a total cost of approximately $29,652,000 (an average price of $23.31 per share). All shares repurchased were retired.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual

In the ordinary course of business, we issue performance bonds to secure our performance under certain contracts or state tax requirements. As of September 30, 2015, we had an immaterial amount of performance bonds outstanding. These bonds are issued on our behalf by a surety company on an unsecured basis; however, if the surety company is ever required to pay out under the bonds, we have contractually agreed to reimburse the surety company.

Employment Contracts and Severance Plans

We have employment contracts with, and plans covering, certain officers and management teammates under which severance payments would become payable in the event of specified terminations without cause or terminations under certain circumstances after a change in control. In addition, vesting of outstanding nonvested RSUs would accelerate following a change in control. If severance payments under the current employment agreements or plan payments were to become payable, the severance payments would generally range from three to twenty-four months of salary.

Indemnifications

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to indemnify either our clients or third-party service providers from certain losses incurred relating to services performed on our behalf or for losses arising from defined events, which may include litigation or claims relating to past performance. These arrangements include, but are not limited to, the indemnification of our clients for certain claims arising out of our performance under our sales contracts, the indemnification of our landlords for certain claims arising from our use of leased facilities and the indemnification of the lenders that provide our credit facilities for certain claims arising from their extension of credit to us. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses.

Management believes that payments, if any, related to these indemnifications are not probable at September 30, 2015. Accordingly, we have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnifications in our consolidated financial statements.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and with each of our directors. These agreements require us, among other requirements, to indemnify such officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments and settlements incurred by such individual in connection with any action arising out of such individual’s status or service as our executive officer or director (subject to exceptions such as where the individual failed to act in good faith or in a manner the individual reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company) and to advance expenses incurred by such individual with respect to which such individual may be entitled to indemnification by us. There are no pending legal proceedings that involve the indemnification of any of the Company’s directors or officers.

Contingencies Related to Third-Party Review

From time to time, we are subject to potential claims and assessments from third parties. We are also subject to various governmental, client and vendor audits. We continually assess whether or not such claims have merit and warrant accrual. Where appropriate, we accrue estimates of anticipated liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Such estimates are subject to change and may affect our results of operations and our cash flows.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including preference payment claims asserted in client bankruptcy proceedings, indemnification claims, claims of alleged infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, claims of alleged non-compliance with contract provisions and claims related to alleged violations of laws and regulations. Many of these proceeding are at preliminary stages, and many of these proceedings seek an indeterminate amount of damages. We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made for disclosure. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, we believe that we have adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the resolution of a legal proceeding. Legal expenses related to defense, negotiations, settlements, rulings and advice of outside legal counsel are expensed as incurred.

The Company is not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings that it believes could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

12. Segment Information

We operate in three reportable geographic operating segments: North America; EMEA; and APAC. Our offerings in North America and select countries in EMEA include hardware, software and services. Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA segment and in APAC are largely software and select software-related services. Net sales by product or service type for North America, EMEA and APAC were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

12

Table of Contents

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation, and there are no material differences between the accounting policies used to measure profit and loss for our segments and on a consolidated basis. Net sales are defined as net sales to external clients. None of our clients exceeded ten percent of consolidated net sales for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

A portion of our operating segments’ selling and administrative expenses arise from shared services and infrastructure that we have historically provided to them in order to realize economies of scale and to use resources efficiently. These expenses, collectively identified as corporate charges, include senior management expenses, internal audit, legal, tax, insurance services, treasury and other corporate infrastructure expenses. Charges are allocated to our operating segments, and the allocations have been determined on a basis that we considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or benefits received by the operating segments.

The tables below present information about our reportable operating segments as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

13. Subsequent Event

Effective October 1, 2015, we acquired BlueMetal Architects, Inc. (“BlueMetal”), an interactive design and technology architecture firm based in the Boston area, with offices in Chicago and New York. BlueMetal delivers strategic design, application development, business intelligence solutions and data visualization platforms. BlueMetal has expertise in the financial services, healthcare, education, government and retail sectors and generated revenue of approximately $25 million during the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2015. We believe this acquisition strengthens our services capabilities to bring value to our clients’ businesses in the area of application design, mobility and big data.

We are in the process of determining the fair value of net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, which will be recorded in our North America operating segment. We will consolidate the results of operations for BlueMetal beginning on October 1, 2015, the effective date of the acquisition. We do not believe that our historical results would have been materially affected by the acquisition of BlueMetal.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Quarterly Overview

We are a leading worldwide technology provider of integrated solutions to business and government clients in North America; Europe, the Middle East, Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”). Our offerings in North America and select countries in EMEA include hardware, software and services. Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA segment and in APAC are largely software and select software-related services.

In the third quarter, our team delivered double digit sales and gross profit growth in constant currency and controlled discretionary expenses, which resulted in strong earnings growth year over year. Consolidated net sales of $1.34 billion in the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased 8% compared to net sales reported in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar so far this year has notably affected our U.S. dollar reported results when compared to the same period last year. Excluding the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, consolidated net sales increased 13% year over year in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014, with particularly strong top line growth in our North America operating segment, where we exceeded $1 billion in revenue during a quarter for only the second time in our operating history. Consolidated gross profit increased 6% year over year to $182.3 million in U.S. dollar terms, up 11% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements. Gross margin decreased approximately 30 basis points year to year to 13.6%, driven primarily by lower product margin in the hardware category in our North America and EMEA operating segments. Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter increased 4% year over year in U.S. dollar terms (up 9% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements). The year over year increase in selling and administrative expenses was anticipated as a result of investments in sales, technical and services headcount across the business. Our consolidated results of operations for the third quarter of 2015 also include severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $817,000 compared to $308,000 recorded during the third quarter of 2014 and a non-cash real estate impairment charge of $800,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. All of this resulted in a 15% year over year improvement in consolidated earnings from operations from $28.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 to $32.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. We recognized net non-operating expenses of $593,000, including interest expense and net foreign currency exchange gains, during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, down from net non-operating expenses of $2.0 million recognized for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. On a consolidated basis, we reported net earnings of $20.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.56 for the third quarter of 2015. This compares to net earnings of $17.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.42 for the third quarter of 2014.

Throughout the “Quarterly Overview” and “Results of Operations” sections of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we refer to changes in net sales, gross profit and selling and administrative expenses on a consolidated basis and in EMEA and APAC excluding the effects of foreign currency movements. In computing these change amounts and percentages, we compare the current period amount as translated into U.S. dollars under the applicable accounting standards to the prior period amount in local currency translated into U.S. dollars utilizing the weighted average translation rate for the current period.

Net of tax amounts referenced above were computed using the statutory tax rate for the taxing jurisdictions in the operating segment in which the related expenses were recorded, adjusted for the effects of valuation allowances on net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Details about segment results of operations can be found in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

As previously disclosed, our largest software partner made changes to its channel incentive program beginning in October 2013. The remaining changes are effective as client contracts are scheduled to renew in 2015. We expect the adverse effect of these program changes on gross profit in the software category to be approximately $8 million for the full year 2015.

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in the understanding of our consolidated financial statements, including the changes in certain key items in those consolidated financial statements from period to period and the primary factors that contributed to those changes, as well as how certain critical accounting estimates affect our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For a summary of significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results, however, may differ from estimates we have made. Members of our senior management have discussed the critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

There have been no changes to the items disclosed as critical accounting estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

We experience certain seasonal trends in our sales of information technology hardware, software and services. Software sales are typically higher in our second and fourth quarters, particularly the second quarter. Business clients, particularly larger enterprise businesses in the U.S., tend to spend more in our fourth quarter, as they utilize their remaining capital budget authorizations, and less in the first quarter. Sales to the federal government in the U.S. are often stronger in our third quarter, while sales in the state and local government and education markets are stronger in our second quarter. Sales to public sector clients in the United Kingdom are often stronger in our first quarter. These trends create overall seasonality in our consolidated results such that sales and profitability are expected to be higher in the second and fourth quarters of the year.

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased 8% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 to $1.34 billion. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $3.99 billion. Excluding the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, consolidated net sales increased 13% year over year in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 and increased 9% year over year in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014. Our net sales by operating segment were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Net sales in North America increased 15%, or $131.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net sales of hardware, software and services increased 14%, 15% and 24%, respectively, year over year. Net sales in the hardware category were up due primarily to increased sales of client devices and networking products to large enterprise and public sector clients, particularly federal, state and local and K-12 agencies. Net software sales comparisons reflect higher volume, particularly with federal agencies, during the third quarter of 2015. The increase in services sales was driven by increased technical and consulting services engagements in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter last year.

Net sales in North America increased 10%, or $262.5 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net sales of hardware, software and services increased 10%, 8% and 26%, respectively, year over year. Net sales in the hardware category were up due to increased sales of client devices and networking and server products to large enterprise and public sector clients. Net software sales comparisons reflect stronger demand for business productivity and security solutions, particularly in the public sector. The increase in services sales was driven by more consulting services engagements and technical deployments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net sales in EMEA decreased 6%, or $20.0 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, net sales increased 6% compared to the third quarter of last year. Net sales of hardware and software decreased 5% and 8%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2014, while net sales of services increased 1% year over year, all in U.S. dollars. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, hardware, software and services net sales increased 5%, 8% and 12%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of last year. The increase in hardware net sales (excluding the effects of foreign currency movements) was due primarily to higher volume in sales with our corporate clients, with year over year increases most notably in the client devices, storage and networking hardware categories. The increases in software and services net sales (excluding the effects of foreign currency movements) were driven by higher volume of sales of virtualization software and partner delivered third-party services to new and existing clients across the region, particularly with our service provider clients.

Net sales in EMEA decreased 10%, or $119.3 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, net sales increased 4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net sales of hardware and software decreased 7% and 13%, respectively, while net sales of services increased 6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, all in U.S. dollars. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, hardware, software and services net sales increased 3%, 4% and 22%, respectively, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in hardware net sales (excluding the effects of foreign currency movements) was due primarily to higher volume in sales with our corporate and public sector clients, with year over year growth most notably in the server hardware category. The increase in software net sales (excluding the effects of foreign currency movements) was driven by higher volume with our public sector and service provider clients, primarily for business productivity solutions. The increase in services net sales was due primarily to increased sales of cloud solutions and partner delivered third-party services to new and existing clients across the region.

Net sales in APAC decreased 20%, or $6.6 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, net sales were down 7% compared to the third quarter of last year. The decrease primarily resulted from lower volume with existing clients, primarily in Hong Kong and China, during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, resulting from slowing economic conditions and mixed sales execution results across the region.

Net sales in APAC decreased 17%, or $27.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, net sales were down 5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease primarily resulted from the effect of a higher mix of net-recognized software maintenance sales, which are recorded net of related costs within the net sales line item of the financial statements, and lower volume to new and existing clients during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to weaker market conditions in Australia.

The percentage of net sales by category for North America, EMEA and APAC were as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The percentage of net sales by category for North America, EMEA and APAC were as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased 6% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, with gross margin decreasing approximately 30 basis points to 13.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 13.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, gross profit increased 1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, with gross margin decreasing approximately 30 basis points to 13.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 13.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, consolidated gross profit increased 11% year over year in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 and increased 6% year over year in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014. Our gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales by operating segment were as follows (dollars in thousands):

North America’s gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased 13% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased approximately 20 basis points to 13.3% for the third quarter of 2015 from 13.5% in the third quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to a net decrease in product margin, which includes vendor funding and freight, of 36 basis points due primarily to hardware margin compression resulting from the business mix transacted during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, we had a 7 basis point decrease in fees earned on sales of enterprise software agreements compared to last year due to partner program changes. Partially offsetting these decreases was a 26 basis point improvement in gross margin generated from an increase in higher margin services sales.

North America’s gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 7% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin for the nine month periods decreased approximately 50 basis points to 13.3% from 13.8% year to year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a net decrease in product margin of 37 basis points due to business and client mix transacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, we had a 28 basis point decrease in fees earned on sales of enterprise software agreements compared to last year due to partner program changes. Partially offsetting these decreases was a 21 basis point improvement in gross margin resulting from an increase in higher margin services sales.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

EMEA’s gross profit decreased 9% in U.S. dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, due primarily to the unfavorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates year over year. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, gross profit increased 3% compared to the third quarter of last year. Gross margin decreased approximately 40 basis points to 13.9% for the third quarter of 2015 from 14.3% in the third quarter of 2014. Gross margin was negatively affected by a decrease in gross margin from sales of services of 32 basis points resulting from lower margin projects within certain service practice areas during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and a decrease of 12 basis points due to the relative contribution to margin of enterprise software agreements compared to last year. Decreases in hardware product margins resulting from competitive pricing pressure and the relative product mix sold year over year were offset by increases in software product margins and partner funding resulting from changes in the mix and size of deals transacted during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

EMEA’s gross profit decreased 8% in U.S. dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, again due primarily to the unfavorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates year over year. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, gross profit increased 6% compared to the first nine months of last year. Gross margin for the nine month periods improved approximately 40 basis points to 13.5% from 13.1% year over year. A net increase in product margin of 26 basis points was driven by increases in software product margins and partner funding resulting from the mix and size of deals transacted year over year. Additionally, an increase in gross margin from a higher volume of sales of services contributed 14 basis points to the year over year improvement in margin.

APAC’s gross profit decreased 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, with gross margin decreasing to 20.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 20.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, gross profit decreased 5% compared to the third quarter of last year. The decline in gross margin in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 was due primarily to lower fees from enterprise software agreements and a decline in software and services net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

APAC’s gross profit decreased 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, with gross margin decreasing to 15.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 17.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, gross profit decreased 10% compared to the first nine months of last year. The year to year decline in gross margin during the nine month period was due primarily to lower fees from enterprise software agreements, due in part to partner program changes, reduced margins on software sales and a decline in software net sales.

Operating Expenses.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $5.7 million, or 4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, selling and administrative expenses increased $4.2 million, or 1%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased 9% year over year in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 and increased 6% year over year in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014. Our selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales by operating segment were as follows (dollars in thousands):

North America’s selling and administrative expenses increased 10%, or $9.4 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 but decreased approximately 40 basis points year to year as a percentage of net sales to 10.2%. Salaries and wages and contract labor increased $3.5 million year over year due to investments in sales and services personnel, and variable compensation increased $2.8 million as a result of improved net sales and gross profit performance year over year.

North America’s selling and administrative expenses increased 6%, or $17.1 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 but decreased approximately 40 basis points year to year as a percentage of net sales to 10.5%. Salaries and wages and contract labor increased $11.7 million year over year due to investments in sales and services personnel, and variable compensation increased $7.7 million as a result of improved net sales and gross profit performance year over year. As discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report, our results for the first nine months of 2014 include non-cash charges of $5.2 million compared to an additional non-cash impairment charge of $800,000 recorded in the third quarter of 2015, which affected the year over year comparison.

EMEA’s selling and administrative expenses decreased 7%, or $3.0 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 and decreased approximately 10 basis points year to year as a percentage of net sales to 13.5%. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, selling and administrative expenses increased 5% compared to the third quarter of last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and wages from investments in sales and services related headcount.

EMEA’s selling and administrative expenses decreased 8%, or $10.6 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 but increased approximately 40 basis points year over year as a percentage of net sales to 12.2%. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, selling and administrative expenses increased 6% compared to the first nine months of last year. The increase was primarily driven by the investments in headcount discussed above.

APAC’s selling and administrative expenses decreased 13%, or $786,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, increasing approximately 160 basis points year over year as a percentage of net sales to 20.2%. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, selling and administrative expenses increased 6% compared to the third quarter of last year. The year over year increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and wages from investments in headcount.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

APAC’s selling and administrative expenses decreased 12%, or $2.3 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, increasing approximately 80 basis points year over year as a percentage of net sales to 12.9%. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, selling and administrative expenses increased 2% compared to the first nine months of last year. The year over year increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and wages from investments in headcount, partially offset by lower variable compensation based on net sales and gross profit performance year to year.

Severance and Restructuring Expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, North America and EMEA recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, of approximately $618,000 and $199,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, North America and EMEA recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, of approximately $873,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. The charges were related to the elimination of certain positions as part of a continuous review of our organizational structure and a realignment of roles and responsibilities, offset by adjustments for changes in estimates of previous accruals as cash payments were made. Comparatively, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, North America and EMEA recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, of approximately $102,000 and $209,000, respectively, and APAC recorded a minor reduction of severance expense of $3,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, North America, EMEA and APAC recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, of approximately $165,000, $684,000 and $106,000, respectively.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was generated from interest earned on cash and cash equivalent bank balances. The decrease in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to lower interest rates earned on such balances and to lower average interest-bearing cash and cash equivalent balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 primarily relates to borrowings under our financing facilities and imputed interest under our inventory financing facility. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 29%, or $468,000, and 21%, or $965,000, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was due primarily to higher imputed interest under our inventory financing facility in the 2015 periods. Imputed interest was $1.0 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $654,000 and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. This increase was due to higher outstanding balances during the 2015 periods. For a description of our various financing facilities, see Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Net Foreign Currency Exchange Gains/Losses. These gains/losses result from foreign currency transactions, including foreign currency derivative contracts and intercompany balances that are not considered long-term in nature. The change in net foreign currency exchange gains/losses is due primarily to the underlying changes in the applicable exchange rates, mitigated by our use of foreign exchange forward contracts to partially offset the effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies on certain of our non-functional currency assets and liabilities.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net, consists primarily of bank fees associated with our cash management activities.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Income Tax Expense. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was 35.0% compared to 34.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 37.1% compared to 37.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to higher losses in certain foreign jurisdictions in 2015, resulting in an increase in income tax expense as a result of the increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets related to those foreign operating losses. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to lower taxes on earnings in foreign jurisdictions and the recognition of certain tax benefits related to the re-measurement or settlement of specific uncertain tax positions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, offset partially by the increase in the valuation allowance related to certain foreign jurisdictions discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth certain consolidated cash flow information for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Cash and Cash Flow

Our primary uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were to fund working capital requirements, to repurchase shares of our common stock and for capital expenditures. Operating activities provided $24.6 million in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a 48% decrease from the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to increased working capital utilization on improving sales trends this year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we repurchased $91.8 million of our common stock in open market transactions. We had combined net borrowings on our long-term debt facilities of $24.0 million and net borrowings under our inventory financing facility of $53.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Capital expenditures were $10.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a 35% increase over the prior year period, reflecting higher IT and facility-related investments year over year. Cash and cash equivalent balances in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were negatively affected by $13.8 million as a result of foreign currency exchange rates, compared to a negative effect of $6.1 million in the prior year period.

Net cash provided by operating activities. Cash flows from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 reflect our net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and write-offs and write-downs of assets, as well as changes in asset and liability balances. In both periods, we anticipated the decreases in accounts receivable and accounts payable due to the seasonal decrease in net sales in the third quarter compared to the fourth quarter, which results in lower accounts receivable and accounts payable balances as of September 30, compared to December 31. The increases in inventories are primarily attributable to increases in inventory levels to support specific technical deployment client engagements and hardware sale transactions in transit to clients as of September 30, such that delivery was not deemed to have occurred until the product was received by the client in early October. The increase in inventory levels in the 2014 period is higher than the 2015 period due to multisite deployments in process as of September 30, 2014. For both periods, the decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities was primarily attributable to decreases in accrued VAT and sales taxes as of September 30, compared to December 31, due to the relative timing of related payments. The decrease in the 2014 period was also affected by the reclassification of certain long-term liabilities to accounts payable as of September 30, 2014, as amounts became payable to partners under their contractual terms.
