SYNNEX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020

(Except per share amounts or as otherwise indicated, currency and share amounts in thousands)

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

SYNNEX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as “SYNNEX” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of a comprehensive range of distribution, systems design and integration solutions for the technology industry, headquartered in Fremont, California and has operations in North and South America, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

On December 1, 2020, the Company completed the previously announced separation of its customer experience services business (the “Separation”), in a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes, which was accomplished by the distribution of one hundred per cent of the outstanding common stock of Concentrix Corporation (“Concentrix”) to SYNNEX stockholders as of the close of business on November 17, 2020, the record date for the distribution. SYNNEX stockholders received one share of Concentrix common stock for every share of SYNNEX common stock held at the close of business on the record date. The Company distributed 51,602 shares of Concentrix common stock to its stockholders. Concentrix is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “CNXC” on the Nasdaq Stock Market. After the Separation, SYNNEX does not beneficially own any shares of Concentrix’ common stock. Beginning December 1, 2020, the Company no longer consolidates Concentrix within its financial results or reflects the financial results of Concentrix within its continuing results of operations.

The financial results of Concentrix for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 are presented as income from discontinued operations, net of taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and its assets and liabilities as of November 30, 2020 are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The historical statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and the balances in stockholders' equity have not been revised to reflect the effect of the Separation. For further information on discontinued operations, see Note 3 - Discontinued Operations. Unless noted otherwise, discussion in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements pertain to continuing operations.

In connection with the Separation, the Company and Concentrix entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties going forward, including among others an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, and a commercial agreement, pursuant to which Concentrix will continue to provide certain limited services to SYNNEX following the Separation.

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of August 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The amounts as of November 30, 2020 have been derived from the Company’s annual audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020.

On March 22, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, the parent company of Tech Data Corporation (“Tech Data”), in a cash and stock transaction (the "Merger"). On September 1, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of common stock of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation for consideration of $1.61 billion in cash and 44 million shares of common stock of SYNNEX. The combined company is referred to as TD SYNNEX. See Note 17 – Subsequent Event for further discussion.

Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year, and the Company makes no representations related thereto. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the discussion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. Accounting pronouncements adopted during the nine months ended August 31, 2021 are discussed below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The Company evaluates these estimates on a regular basis and bases them on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and work force participation and created volatility and disruption of financial markets, the impact of which was most acute during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Despite improvements in the global economy since

the onset of the pandemic, the resurgence of the Delta variant and other mutations bring uncertainty to continued economic recovery. As a result, the Company cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations and financial condition, including due to the uncertainties relating to the severity and duration of the pandemic, the effect on its customers and customer demand and the length of the restrictions and closures imposed by various governments. Consequently, many of the estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, these estimates may change in future periods. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables from vendors and derivative instruments.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing, and their compositions and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Through August 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced any credit losses on such deposits and derivative instruments.

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers, including related party customers. Receivables from vendors, net, includes amounts due from original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) vendors primarily in the technology industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for expected credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of its receivable portfolio, the existence of a limited amount of credit insurance and specifically identified customer and vendor risks. The Company also considers risks attributed to COVID-19 in establishing the required allowances. Through August 31, 2021, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

One customer accounted for 23% and 29% of the Company’s total revenue during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively. The same customer accounted for 23% and 22% of the Company’s total revenue during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively. Products purchased from the Company’s largest OEM supplier, HP Inc., accounted for approximately 13% of total revenue during both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively, and approximately 15% of total revenue during both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020.

As of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, one customer comprised 25% and 15%, respectively, of the consolidated accounts receivable balance.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is computed based on the weighted-average method. Inventories are comprised of finished goods and work-in-process. Finished goods include products purchased for resale, system components purchased for both resale and for use in the Company’s projects and integration-based completed systems. Work-in-process inventories are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segments

Operating segments are based on components of the Company that engage in business activities that earn revenues and incur expenses (a) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocation and performance and (b) for which discrete financial information is available.

The Company had two reportable segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. After giving effect to the Separation of the Concentrix segment, the Company now operates a single reportable segment, which represents an aggregation of four geographic operating segments of United States, Canada, Japan and Latin America. The Company distributes peripherals, IT systems, including data center servers, system components, software, networking, communications and security equipment, consumer electronics and complementary products to a variety of customers, including value-added resellers, system integrators and retailers. The Company also designs and integrates data center equipment built specific to the customers' data center environment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of various IT products.

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of IT hardware and software as control is transferred to customers, which is at the point in time when the product is shipped or delivered. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection. Binding purchase orders from customers together with agreement to the Company's terms and conditions of sale by way of an executed agreement or other signed documents are considered to be the contract with a customer. Products sold by the Company are delivered via shipment from the Company’s facilities, drop-shipment directly from the vendor, or by electronic delivery of software products. In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions, revenue is recognized when the Company can objectively verify the products comply with specifications underlying acceptance and the customer has control of the products. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities. The Company generally invoices a customer upon shipment, or in accordance with specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. Service revenues represents less than 10% of the total revenue for the periods presented.

Provisions for sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical data and are recorded concurrently with the recognition of revenue. A liability is recorded at the time of sale for estimated product returns based upon historical experience and an asset is recognized for the amount expected to be recorded in inventory upon product return. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted periodically by the Company. Revenue is reduced for early payment discounts and volume incentive rebates offered to customers, which are considered variable consideration, at the time of sale based on an evaluation of the contract terms and historical experience.

The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis on certain contracts, where the Company’s performance obligation is to arrange for the products or services to be provided by another party or the rendering of logistics services for the delivery of inventory for which the Company does not assume the risks and rewards of ownership, by recognizing the margins earned in revenue with no associated cost of revenue. Such arrangements include supplier service contracts, post-contract software support services and extended warranty contracts.

The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the sale of products. Shipping revenue is included in revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendment requires the Company to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used in cash balance pension plans. It also requires the Company to disclose the reasons for significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets including significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. This guidance was applicable to the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. This new standard is to be adopted by way of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. This guidance was applicable to the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on financial reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In connection with the Separation, as required by the SYNNEX stock incentive plans, the Company made certain adjustments to outstanding employee equity awards with the intention of preserving the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the Separation. There were 1,452 awards outstanding at November 30, 2020. In accordance with the employee matters agreement, each exercisable and non-exercisable stock option and unvested restricted stock award was modified into similar awards of both SYNNEX and Concentrix and the exercise price of outstanding stock options was adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards. Certain restricted stock units and performance-contingent awards were modified to provide the holders restricted stock units and performance contingent awards in the company that employs such employee following the Separation. When settled wholly in the employer’s shares, the ratio was based on the closing stock price of SYNNEX at November 30, 2020 compared to the opening stock price of the respective entity on December 1, 2020. The options strike prices were adjusted in the same manner. The modification of these awards did not result in material incremental compensation cost.

NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, equity risk, commodity price changes and credit risk. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity’s functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, swaps, or other derivative instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, earnings, net investments in certain international subsidiaries and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s hedging program is not used for trading or speculative purposes.

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, or as a component of AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as discussed below.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to economically convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The swaps have maturities at various dates through October 2023. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of interest payments are recognized in “Interest expense and Finance charges, net” in the same period as the related expense is recognized. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified into earnings in the period of de-designation. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are recorded in earnings unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.

Non-Designated Derivatives

The Company uses short-term forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entities. These contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, mature or settle within twelve months. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates.

 Fair Values of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets

The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are disclosed in Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements and summarized in the table below:

Volume of Activity

The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including, principally, the Canadian Dollar, the Indian Rupee, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso, the Euro, the Mexican Peso, the Chinese Yuan, and the Chilean Peso, that will be bought or sold at maturity. The term and notional amount of interest rate swaps are determined based on management’s assessment of future interest rates and other factors such as debt maturities. The notional amounts for outstanding derivative instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding and do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to credit or market loss. The Company’s exposure to credit loss and market risk will vary over time as currency and interest rates change.

The gains and losses largely offset the currency gains and losses that resulted from changes in the assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies.

 

There were no material gain or loss amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Existing net losses in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the normal course of business within the next twelve months are $39,160.

Offsetting of Derivatives

The Company’s derivative instruments are generally governed by standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements, which generally do not require the Company to post any collateral, and specify netting rights, and other customary provisions including events of defaults and termination rights.

In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements. If derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement had been netted in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the total derivative asset and liability positions would have been reduced by $630 each as of August 31, 2021 and $139 each as of November 30, 2020.

Credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the Company’s obligations to the counterparties. The Company manages the potential risk of credit losses through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing and selection of counterparties from a limited group of financial institutions.

 

NOTE 7—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:  

The Company’s fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. The carrying values of cash equivalents approximate fair value since they are near their maturity. Investments in marketable equity securities, primarily comprising investments in other companies’ equity securities as per local customary business practice, are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers. Fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using standard valuation models using inputs that are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, including LIBOR spot and forward rates. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020.

The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates which are variable in nature. The carrying value of the Company’s term loans approximate their fair value since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2021, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.

 

NOTE 8—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS:

The Company has an uncommitted supply-chain financing program with a global financial institution under which trade accounts receivable of certain customers and their affiliates may be acquired, without recourse, by the financial institution. Available capacity under this program is dependent on the level of the Company’s trade accounts receivable with these customers and the financial institution’s willingness to purchase such receivables. As of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institution under this program were $19,317 and $15,572, respectively. Discount fees related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under this facility are included in “Interest expense and finance charges, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, discount fees were not material to the Company’s results of operations.

SYNNEX Japan, the Company’s Japanese subsidiary, has arrangements with financial institutions for the sale and financing of approved accounts receivable and notes receivable. The amounts outstanding under these arrangements that were sold, but not collected, as of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020 were $29,366 and $5,798, respectively. Discount fees related to the sale of trade accounts and notes receivable under this facility are included in “Interest expense and finance charges, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, discount fees were not material to the Company’s results of operations.

The Company also has other financing agreements in North America with financial institutions (“Flooring Companies”) to allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the Flooring Companies. Under these agreements, the Flooring Companies pay to the Company the selling price of products sold to various customers, less a discount, within approximately 15 to 30 days from the date of sale. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under flooring agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the Flooring Companies. See Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies for further information.

SYNNEX United States accounts receivable securitization arrangement

In the United States, the Company has an accounts receivable securitization program to provide additional capital for its operations (the “U.S. AR Arrangement”). Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, which expires in May 2022, the Company’s subsidiary that is the borrower under this facility could borrow up to a maximum of $650,000 based upon eligible trade accounts receivable. In addition, the U.S. AR Arrangement includes an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders' commitment by an additional $150,000. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. AR Arrangement is a blended rate based upon the composition of the lenders, that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and a rate based upon LIBOR. In addition, a program fee payable on the used portion of the lenders’ commitment, accrues at 1.25% per annum in the case of lender groups who fund their advances based on prevailing commercial paper rates, and 1.30% per annum in the case of lender groups who fund their advances based on LIBOR (subject to a 0.50% per annum floor). A facility fee is payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders, to accrue at different tiers ranging between 0.35% per annum and 0.45% per annum depending on the amount of outstanding advances from time to time.

Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, the Company and two of its U.S. subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables acquired by the Company's bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as security. Any amounts received under the U.S. AR Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

SYNNEX Canada accounts receivable securitization arrangement

SYNNEX Canada Limited (“SYNNEX Canada”), the Company's subsidiary in Canada, has an accounts receivable securitization program with a bank to provide additional capital for its operations. Under the terms of this program, which matures in May 2023, SYNNEX Canada can borrow up to CAD100,000, or $79,264, in exchange for the transfer of eligible trade accounts receivable, on an ongoing revolving basis. The program includes an accordion feature that allows SYNNEX Canada to request an increase in the bank's commitment up to an additional CAD50,000, or $39,632. Any amounts received under this arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are secured by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables to the bank. The effective borrowing cost is based on the weighted-average of the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a margin of 1.00% per annum and the prevailing lender commercial paper rates. In addition, prior to an event of termination, SYNNEX Canada is obligated to pay a program fee of 0.75% per annum based on the used portion of the commitment. After an event of termination, the program fee shall be the sum of the base rate and 2.50% per annum, based on the used portion of the commitment. SYNNEX Canada pays a fee of 0.40% per annum for any unused portion of the commitment up to CAD60,000, or $47,559, and when the unused portion exceeds CAD60,000, or $47,559, a fee of 0.55% per annum of the unused portion of the commitment. As of both August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, there was no outstanding balance under this arrangement.

The Company has guaranteed the performance obligations of SYNNEX Canada under this facility.

SYNNEX Japan credit facility

SYNNEX Japan has a credit agreement with a group of banks for a maximum commitment of JPY15,000,000, or $136,351. The credit agreement is comprised of a JPY5,000,000, or $45,450, term loan and a JPY10,000,000, or $90,901, revolving credit facility and expires in June 2026. Prior to renewal in June 2021, SYNNEX Japan had a maximum commitment of JPY 15,000,000, or $136,351, comprised of a JPY7,000,000, or $63,631, term loan and a JPY8,000,000, or $72,721, revolving credit facility. The interest rate for the term loan and revolving credit facility is based on the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, plus a margin, which, prior to the Merger transaction was based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and after the Merger transaction is based on the Company’s credit rating. Currently the margin over the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate equals 0.80% per annum. The unused line fee on the revolving credit facility is currently 0.125% per annum and prior to the Merger was based on the Company's consolidated current leverage ratio, but is now also based on the Company’s credit rating. The term loan can be repaid at any time prior to the expiration date without penalty. The Company has guaranteed the obligations of SYNNEX Japan under this facility.     

SYNNEX United States credit agreement

In the United States, the Company has a senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the "U.S. Credit Agreement") with a group of financial institutions. The U.S. Credit Agreement includes a $600,000 commitment for a revolving credit facility and a term loan in the original principal amount of $1,200,000. The Company may request incremental commitments to increase the principal amount of the revolving line of credit or term loan by $500,000, plus an additional amount which is dependent upon the Company's pro forma first lien leverage ratio, as calculated under the U.S. Credit Agreement. The U.S. Credit Agreement matures in September 2022. The remaining outstanding principal of the term loan is payable on maturity. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Agreement can be based on LIBOR or a base rate at the Company's option, plus a margin. The margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and the margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, provided that LIBOR shall not be less than zero. The base rate is a variable-rate which is the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate, plus a margin of 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by the agent, Bank of America, N.A., as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate, plus 1.0%. The unused revolving credit facility commitment fee ranges from 0.175% to 0.30% per annum. The margins above the applicable interest rates and the revolving commitment fee for revolving loans are based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated under the U.S. Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the U.S. Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the parent company’s and its United States domestic subsidiaries’ assets on a pari passu basis with the interests of the lenders under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement (defined below) pursuant to an intercreditor agreement and are guaranteed by certain of the Company's United States domestic subsidiaries. The U.S. Credit Agreement was terminated on September 1, 2021 and all outstanding balances were repaid in full as part of the Merger transaction (see Note 17 – Subsequent Event for further discussion).

SYNNEX United States term loan credit agreement

The Company has a senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with a group of financial institutions in the original principal amount of $1,800,000. The U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement matures in October 2023. The remaining outstanding principal is payable on maturity. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement can be based on LIBOR or a base rate at the Company’s option, plus a margin. The margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% and the margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 0.75%, provided that LIBOR shall not be less than zero. The base rate is a variable-rate which is the highest of (a) 0.5% plus the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day and (y) the overnight bank funding rate in effect on such day, (b) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% per annum, and (c) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. During the period in which the term loans were available to be drawn, the Company paid term loan commitment fees. The margins above the Company's applicable interest rates are, and the term loan commitment fee were, based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio as calculated under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Company's obligations under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and certain of its domestic subsidiaries’ assets on a pari passu basis with the interests of the lenders under the existing U.S. Credit Agreement pursuant to an intercreditor agreement, and are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement was terminated on September 1, 2021 and all outstanding balances were repaid in full as part of the Merger transaction (see Note 17 – Subsequent Event for further discussion).

SYNNEX new credit agreement

In connection with the Merger Agreement described in Note 17 – Subsequent Event, the Company entered into a new credit agreement, dated as of April 16, 2021 (the “New Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as agent, pursuant to which the Company received commitments for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $3,500,000, which revolving credit facility (the “new revolving credit facility”) may, at the request of the Company but subject to the lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $500,000. The New Credit Agreement also includes a senior unsecured term loan (the “new term loan” and, together with the new revolving credit facility, the “new credit facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000, which was fully funded in connection with the closing of the Merger. The borrower under the new credit facilities is the Company. There are no guarantors of the new credit facilities. The maturity of the new credit facilities is on the fifth anniversary of the September 2021 closing date, which will occur in September 2026, subject in the case of the revolving credit facility, to two one-year extensions upon the Company’s prior notice to the lenders and the agreement of the lenders to extend such maturity date.

The outstanding principal amount of the new term loan is payable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.25% of the original $1,500,000 principal balance commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date of the new credit facilities, with the outstanding principal amount of the term loans due in full on the maturity date. Loans borrowed under the New Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR (or successor) rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR (or successor) rate, plus the applicable margin, which may range from 1.125% to 1.75%, based on the Company’s public debt rating (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The applicable margin on base rate loans is 1.00% less than the corresponding margin on LIBOR (or successor rate) based loans. In addition to these borrowing rates, there is a commitment fee which ranges from 0.125% to 0.300% on any unused commitment under the new revolving credit facility based on the Company’s public debt rating.

The New Credit Agreement contains various loan covenants that are customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers that will restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to take certain actions. The New Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants which require compliance with a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, in each case tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the first full fiscal quarter to occur after the closing date of the new credit facilities. The New Credit Agreement also contains various customary events of default, including with respect to a change of control of the Company.

See Note 17 – Subsequent Event for further discussion regarding borrowings under the New Credit Agreement in conjunction with the Merger.

On March 22, 2021, the Company had entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), under which Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and certain other financing institutions joining thereto pursuant to the terms thereof committed to provide (i) a $1.5 billion senior unsecured term bridge facility (the "Term Loan A Bridge Facility"), (ii) a $2.5 billion senior unsecured term bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”) and (iii) a $3.5 billion senior unsecured revolving bridge facility (the "Bridge Revolving Facility"), subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. On April 16, 2021, (i) the $1.5 billion commitment with respect to the Term Loan A Bridge Facility under the Commitment Letter and (ii) the $3.5 billion commitment with respect to the Bridge Revolving Facility under the Commitment Letter were reduced to zero, in each case, as a result of SYNNEX entering into the New Credit Agreement; and on August 9, 2021 the Bridge Facility was reduced to zero as a result of the issuance of the Notes described below.

SYNNEX new Senior Notes

On August 9, 2021, SYNNEX completed its offering of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $700.0 million of 1.25% senior notes due 2024, $700.0 million of 1.75% senior notes due 2026, $600.0 million of 2.375% senior notes due 2028, and $500.0 million of 2.65% senior notes due 2031 (collectively, the “Notes,” and such offering, the “Notes Offering”). SYNNEX incurred $27 million towards issuance costs. SYNNEX will pay interest semi-annually on the notes on each of February 9 and August 9, beginning February 9, 2022. The net proceeds from this offering were used to fund a portion of the aggregate cash consideration payable in connection with the Merger, refinance certain of SYNNEX’ and Tech Data’s existing indebtedness and pay related fees and expenses (see Note 17 – Subsequent Event for further discussion). SYNNEX expects to use any remaining net proceeds from the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes.

SYNNEX Canada revolving line of credit

SYNNEX Canada has an uncommitted revolving line of credit with a bank under which it can borrow up to CAD50,000, or $39,632. Borrowings under the facility are secured by eligible inventory and bear interest at a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 2.25% depending on the base rate used.

As of both August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility.

Other borrowings and term debt

Other borrowings and term debt include lines of credit with financial institutions at certain locations outside the United States, factoring of accounts receivable with recourse provisions, finance leases, a building mortgage and book overdrafts. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by country, depending on local market conditions. Borrowings under these lines of credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company or secured by eligible accounts receivable.

NOTE 16—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company was contingently liable as of August 31, 2021 under agreements to repurchase repossessed inventory acquired by flooring companies as a result of default on floor plan financing arrangements by the Company's customers. These arrangements are described in Note 8 - Accounts Receivable Arrangements and do not have expiration dates. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company, still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Losses, if any, would be the difference between the repossession cost and the resale value of the inventory. There have been no repurchases through August 31, 2021 under these agreements and the Company is not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.

From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these claims and records the related liabilities. It is possible that the ultimate liabilities could differ from the amounts recorded.

Under the separation and distribution agreement with Concentrix that was entered into in connection with the Separation, SYNNEX agreed to indemnify Concentrix, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to SYNNEX as part of the Separation. Similarly, Concentrix agreed to indemnify SYNNEX, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to Concentrix as part of the Separation. SYNNEX expects Concentrix to fully perform under the terms of the separation and distribution agreement.

Under the separation and distribution agreement, SYNNEX and Concentrix agreed to cooperate with each other in managing litigation related to both companies' businesses. The separation and distribution agreement also included provisions that assign to each company responsibility for managing pending and future litigation related to the general corporate matters of SYNNEX arising prior to the Separation.

Under the tax matters agreement with Concentrix that was entered into in connection with the Separation, if the spin-off fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, Concentrix is generally required to indemnify the Company for any taxes resulting from the spin-off (and related costs and other damages) to the extent such amounts result from (1) an acquisition of all or a portion of the Concentrix’ equity securities or assets by any means, (2) any action or failure to act by Concentrix after the distribution affecting the voting rights of Concentrix’ stock, (3) other actions or failures to act by Concentrix, or (4) certain breaches of the Concentrix agreements and representations in the tax matters agreement.

The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 17—SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On September 1, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, SYNNEX acquired all the outstanding shares of common stock of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, the parent company of Tech Data, for consideration of $1.61 billion in cash and 44 million shares of common stock of SYNNEX, valued at approximately $5,614,400. The combined company is referred to as TD SYNNEX. The Merger is expected to create a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem. Following the Merger, the stockholders of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation own approximately 46% of SYNNEX common stock on a fully diluted basis, based on the Company’s shares outstanding as of August 31, 2021.

Given the short period of time from the close of the acquisition to the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company is in the process of compiling the initial accounting for the Merger, including the determination of the fair values of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, income and non-income based taxes, residual goodwill and the amount of goodwill that will be deductible for tax purposes.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, SYNNEX repaid in full all amounts outstanding and terminated all outstanding commitments under the U.S. Credit Agreement, of which a principal amount of $500 million of term loans were outstanding on the date of repayment and termination, and the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement, of which a principal amount of $1.0 billion of term loans were outstanding on the date of repayment and termination. Indebtedness outstanding at the closing of the Merger under Tech Data’s Asset-Based Credit Agreement was also repaid in full and the agreement was terminated. SYNNEX used the net proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with borrowings made under the New Credit Agreement, and cash on hand at SYNNEX and Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, to fund the cash consideration for the Merger and repay existing borrowings.

Additionally, on October 1, 2021, approximately $66 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of Tech Data’s 3.70% Senior Notes due in 2022 and approximately $131 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of Tech Data’s 4.95% Senior Notes due in 2027 were redeemed in full.

Overview

We are a Fortune 200 corporation and a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem.

On December 1, 2020, we completed the previously announced separation of our customer experience services business (the “Separation”), which was accomplished by the distribution of one hundred percent of the outstanding common stock of Concentrix Corporation (“Concentrix”) to our stockholders as of the close of business on November 17, 2020, the record date for the distribution. Our stockholders received one share of Concentrix common stock for every share of our common stock held at the close of business on the record date. Concentrix is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “CNXC” on the Nasdaq Stock Market. After the Separation, we do not beneficially own any shares of Concentrix’ common stock and beginning December 1, 2020, we no longer consolidate Concentrix within our financial results or reflect the financial results of Concentrix within our continuing results of operations. We distributed a total of approximately 51.6 million shares of Concentrix common stock to our stockholders. In connection with the Separation, we have entered into a separation and distribution agreement, as well as various other agreements with Concentrix that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties going forward, including among others an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, and a commercial agreement, pursuant to which Concentrix will continue to provide certain limited services to us following the Separation.

The historical results of operations and financial positions of Concentrix are reported as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information on discontinued operations, see Note 3 - Discontinued Operations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I. Pursuant to the Separation of the Concentrix segment, we operate in a single reportable segment, which represents an aggregation of our four geographic operating segments of United States, Canada, Japan and Latin America.

Table of Contents

 

On March 22, 2021, SYNNEX entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, the parent company of Tech Data Corporation (“Tech Data”), in a cash and stock transaction (the "Merger"). On September 1, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, SYNNEX acquired all the outstanding shares of common stock of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation for consideration of $1.61 billion in cash and 44 million shares of common stock of SYNNEX, valued at approximately $5.61 billion. See Note 17 – Subsequent Event to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The combined company is referred to as TD SYNNEX.

We distribute peripherals, information technology (“IT”) systems including data center server and storage solutions, system components, software, networking, communications and security equipment, consumer electronics (“CE”) and complementary products. We also provide systems design and integration solutions.

We distribute technology products from IT, CE and original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), suppliers to resellers, system integrators, and retailers in over 100 countries. We purchase peripherals, IT systems, system components, software, networking, communications and security equipment, CE and complementary products from our suppliers and sell them to our reseller and retail customers. We perform a similar function for our distribution of licensed software products. Our reseller customers include value-added resellers, corporate resellers, government resellers, system integrators, direct marketers, and national and regional retailers. We combine our core strengths in distribution with demand generation, supply chain management and design and integration solutions to help our customers achieve greater efficiencies in time to market, cost minimization, real-time linkages in the supply chain and aftermarket product support. We also provide comprehensive IT solutions in key vertical markets such as government and healthcare and we provide specialized service offerings that increase efficiencies in the areas of print management, renewals, logistics services and supply chain management. Additionally, we provide our customers with systems design and integration solutions for data center servers and networking solutions built specific to our customers’ workloads and data center environments.

Our business is characterized by low gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, and low income from operations as a percentage of revenue, or operating margin. The market for IT and CE products is generally characterized by declining unit prices and short product life cycles. We set our sales price based on the market supply and demand characteristics for each particular product or bundle of products we distribute and services we provide.

In our business, we are highly dependent on the end-market demand for IT and CE products, and on our partners’ strategic initiatives and business models. This end-market demand is influenced by many factors including the introduction of new IT and CE products and software by OEMs, replacement cycles for existing IT and CE products, trends toward cloud computing, overall economic growth and general business activity. A difficult and challenging economic environment may also lead to consolidation or decline in the IT and CE industries and increased price-based competition.

We have been in business since 1980 and are headquartered in Fremont, California and Clearwater, Florida. We have significant operations in North and South America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Africa. We were originally incorporated in the State of California as COMPAC Microelectronics, Inc. in November 1980, and we changed our name to SYNNEX Information Technologies, Inc. in February 1994. We later reincorporated in the State of Delaware under the name of SYNNEX Corporation in October 2003. As of August 31, 2021, we had over 9,100 full-time and temporary employees worldwide.

In December 2019, there was an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation, including our own, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is discussed at the appropriate places in the discussion of the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021. The disruptions due to COVID-19 have impacted our business including logistics operations. Despite improvements in the global economy since the onset of the pandemic, the resurgence of the Delta variant and other mutations bring uncertainty to continued economic recovery. As a result, the Company cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its
operations and financial condition, including due to the uncertainties relating to the severity and duration of the pandemic, the effect on
its customers and customer demand and the length of the restrictions and closures imposed by various governments. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions involved in the preparation of the financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q, required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic, our estimates may materially change in future periods.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

During the nine months ended August 31, 2021, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, except as such policies relate to the Concentrix business.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2021, we adopted certain other new accounting pronouncements. The impact of adoption of these pronouncements was not material to our consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Acquisitions

We continually seek to augment organic growth in our business with strategic acquisitions of businesses and assets that complement and expand our existing capabilities. We also divest businesses that we deem no longer strategic to our ongoing operations. We seek to acquire new OEM relationships, enhance our supply chain and integration capabilities, the services we provide to our customers and OEM suppliers, and expand our geographic footprint. We are also strategically focused on further increasing our scale to support our customers.

Table of Contents

 

Certain non-GAAP financial information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

 

Revenue in constant currency, which is revenue adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Revenue in constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 in the billing currency using their comparable prior period currency conversion rate. Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates.

 

Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income adjusted to exclude transaction-related and integration expenses, amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expense.

 

Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.

 

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) which is net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude other income (expense), net, transaction-related and integration expenses, share-based compensation expense and income from discontinued operations, net of taxes.

 

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax effected impact of (i) transaction-related and integration expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets, and (iii) share-based compensation.

Transaction-related expenses typically consist of acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs and are expensed as incurred. These expenses primarily represent costs for legal, regulatory, consulting and advisory services. From time to time, this category may also include transaction-related gains/losses on divestitures/spin-off of businesses.

We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude amortization of intangible assets. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets which consist primarily of customer relationships, vendor lists and technology. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in our statements of operations within each segment. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the sale of our products and the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors’ ability to compare our past financial performance with current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within our GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with data presented in accordance with GAAP.

In prior periods, SYNNEX has excluded other items relevant to those periods for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures.

Our revenue includes sales of products. We distribute a comprehensive range of products for the technology industry and design and integrate data center equipment. The prices of our products are highly dependent on the volumes purchased within a product category. The products we sell from one period to the next are often not comparable due to changes in product models, features and customer demand requirements.

Revenue decreased during the three months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the ongoing industry supply chain constraints during the current quarter.

Revenue increased during the nine months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, due to broad-based demand for technology equipment. We experienced growth in commercial software, networking, security and notebooks as well as increased demand for our design and integration-based services.

Our gross margin is affected by a variety of factors, including competition, selling prices, mix of products and services, product costs along with rebate and discount programs from our suppliers, reserves or settlement adjustments, freight costs, inventory losses, acquisition of business units and fluctuations in revenue.

Our gross profit increased, during the three months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, due to higher margin driven by the product mix, partially offset by the impact of the decline in revenues. The increase in gross margin during the three months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to product mix.

Our gross profit increased, during the nine months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, due to higher revenue. The decrease in gross margin during the nine months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to product mix.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs such as salaries, commissions, bonuses, share-based compensation and temporary personnel costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include cost of warehouses and other non-integration facilities, utility expenses, legal and professional fees, depreciation on certain of our capital equipment, bad debt expense, amortization of intangible assets, and marketing expenses, offset in part by reimbursements from our OEM suppliers.

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower incremental COVID-19 related expenses, partially offset by higher transaction-related and integration expenses and an increase in employee related expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year period, primarily due the impact of the decline in revenues.

Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net, consist primarily of interest expense paid on our lines of credit and term loans, fees associated with third party accounts receivable flooring arrangements and the sale or pledge of accounts receivable through our securitization facilities, offset by income earned on our cash investments.

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, our interest expense and finance charges, net, increased compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to issuance of notes and the average outstanding borrowings primarily due to the distribution to our stockholders by way of funding Concentrix in connection with the Separation. Interest expense and finance charges, net, increased as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of notes.

Income taxes consist of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate.

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, our income tax expense increased compared to the prior year period, due to higher income during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021. The effective tax rate was lower during the three months ended August 31, 2020, due to the reversal of uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate was lower during the nine months ended August 31, 2020, due to tax benefits received from the exercising of stock options by employees and the reversal of uncertain tax positions.

Cash Flows

Our business is working capital intensive. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventory. We rely heavily on term loans, accounts receivable arrangements, our securitization programs, and our revolver programs for our working capital needs. We have financed our growth and cash needs to date primarily through cash generated from operations and financing activities. As a general rule, when sales volumes are increasing, our net investment in working capital dollars typically increases, which generally results in decreased cash flow generated from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volume decreases, our net investment in working capital dollars typically decreases, which generally results in increases in cash flows generated from operating activities. Our cash conversion cycle was 32 days and 33 days as of August 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The decrease in CCC as of August 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the improved collections of accounts receivables. This decrease was partially offset by slower turnover of our inventories and the timing of payments of accounts payable.

To increase our market share and better serve our customers, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions, such as the recently completed acquisition of Tech Data. We expect that any such expansions would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by our existing cash and cash equivalents, additional borrowings, or the issuance of securities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $248.8 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $571.7 million, receivables from vendors of $24.7 million, our net income of $275.6 million, adjustments to net income for non-cash items of $69.5 million, and a net change of $24.9 million in other operating assets and liabilities. These cash inflows were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $533.9 million and an increase in inventories of $183.8 million. The decrease in accounts receivable is due to efficient collections during the three months ended August 31, 2021 as well as lower revenue compared to a seasonally high fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. The decrease in accounts payable is primarily due to timing of payments. The adjustments for non-cash items consist primarily of amortization and depreciation and share-based compensation expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.547 billion during the nine months ended August 31, 2020, primarily due to net income of $314.0 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $320.9 million, decreases in accounts receivable of $280.5 million and receivables from vendors of $44.7 million, an increase in accounts payable of $454.3 million and a net change of $415.4 million in other operating assets and liabilities. These cash inflows were partially offset by an increase in inventories of $282.7 million. The decrease in accounts receivable and vendor receivables is primarily due to lower revenue in our business including discontinuing operations during the three months ended August 31, 2020 following a seasonally high fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 as well as an improvement in our collections. DSO in our business also decreased by approximately 3 days from the end of fiscal year 2019. The increase in accounts payable and cash inflow from changes in other

operating assets and liabilities reflects primarily efficient working capital management and prepayments from customers received in our business. The increase in inventories was driven by purchases related to larger projects in the second fiscal quarter which were transacted in the third fiscal quarter. The adjustments for non-cash items consist primarily of amortization and depreciation, provision for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation expense, unrealized foreign exchange losses and a deferred tax benefit related to both our continuing operations as well as discontinued operations.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended August 31, 2021 was $2.9 million, primarily due to capital expenditures related to infrastructure investments to support growth in our business and proceeds from sale of non-marketable securities.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended August 31, 2020 was $137.5 million, primarily due to capital expenditures of $127.3 million related to infrastructure investments to support growth in both of our businesses including discontinued operations and $4.9 million of cash paid related to the settlement of employee stock-based awards assumed under the Convergys acquisition, being paid in accordance with the original vesting schedule.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended August 31, 2021 was $2,232.7 million, representing primarily proceeds received on issuance of Notes of $2.5 billion to support the Merger with Tech Data, net transfer of cash and cash equivalents of $149.9 million to Concentrix in connection with the Separation and $64.5 million representing a pay down of our revolving lines of credit with cash generated from operations. In addition, we paid stockholders dividends of $31.1 million and $26.7 million of issuance costs related to the Notes.

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended August 31, 2020 was $187.8 million, representing primarily a pay down of our revolving lines of credit with cash generated from operations and scheduled quarterly repayments of our term loans aggregating $168.4 million. In addition, we paid dividends of $20.8 million in January 2020, prior to suspension of our dividends program due to the COVID-19 related economic uncertainties in March 2020.

Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.1 billion and $1.4 billion as of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, the cash held by our international subsidiaries was $470.8 million and $434.8 million as of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents held by international subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the United States. Repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws. Historically, we have fully utilized and reinvested all foreign cash to fund our foreign operations and expansion. If in the future our intentions change, and we repatriate the cash back to the United States, we will report in our Consolidated Financial Statements the impact of state and withholding taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation. Presently, we believe we have sufficient resources, cash flow and liquidity within the United States to fund current and expected future working capital, investment and other general corporate funding requirements.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flows from operations and our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months in all geographies. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures, anticipated stock repurchases, dividend payments and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financial market activities.

Historically, we have renewed our accounts receivable securitization program and our U.S. credit facility agreement described below on, or prior to, their respective expiration dates. We have no reason to believe that these and other arrangements will not be renewed or replaced as we continue to be in good credit standing with the participating financial institutions. We have had similar borrowing arrangements with various financial institutions throughout our years as a public company.

On-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the United States, we have an accounts receivable securitization program to provide additional capital for our operations (the “U.S. AR Arrangement”). Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, which has a maturity date of May 2022, our subsidiary, which is the borrower under this facility, can borrow up to a maximum of $650.0 million based upon eligible trade accounts receivable. In addition, the U.S. AR Arrangement includes an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders' commitment by an additional $150.0 million. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. AR Arrangement is a blended rate based upon the composition of the lenders that included prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and a rate based upon LIBOR. In addition, a program fee of 1.25% per annum is payable on the used portion of the lenders’ commitment, in the case of lender groups who fund their advances based on prevailing commercial paper rates, and 1.30% per annum in the case of lender groups who fund their advances based on LIBOR (subject to a 0.50% per annum floor). A facility fee is payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders, to accrue at different tiers ranging between 0.35% per annum and 0.45% per annum depending on the amount of outstanding advances from time to time.

Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, we and two of our U.S. subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, our receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables acquired by our bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as security. Any amounts received under the U.S. AR Arrangement are recorded as debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of both August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

In Canada, we have an accounts receivable securitization program with a bank to provide additional capital for operations. Under the terms of this program, as renewed in March 2020, SYNNEX Canada Limited (“SYNNEX Canada”) can borrow up to CAD100.0 million, or $79.3 million, in exchange for the transfer of eligible trade accounts receivable, on an ongoing revolving basis through May 2023. The program includes an accordion feature that allows us to request an increase in the bank's commitment by an additional CAD50.0 million, or $39.6 million. Any amounts received under this arrangement are recorded as debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are secured by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables to the bank. We guarantee the performance obligations of SYNNEX Canada under this arrangement. The effective borrowing cost is based on the weighted-average of the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a margin of 1.00% per annum and the prevailing lender commercial paper rates. In addition, prior to an event of termination, SYNNEX Canada is obligated to pay a program fee of 0.75% per annum based on the used portion of the commitment. After an event of termination, the program fee shall be the sum of the base rate and 2.50% per annum, based on the used portion of the commitment. SYNNEX Canada pays a fee of 0.40% per annum for any unused portion of the commitment up to CAD60.0 million, or $47.6 millionand when the unused portion exceeds CAD60.0 million, or $47.6 million, a fee of 0.55% per annum on the remaining unused commitment. As of both August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, there was no outstanding balance under this arrangement.

SYNNEX Japan has a credit agreement with a group of banks for a maximum commitment of JPY15.0 billion or $136.4 million. The credit agreement is comprised of a JPY5.0 billion, or $45.5 million, term loan and a JPY10.0 billion, or $90.9 million, revolving credit facility and expires in June 2026. Prior to renewal in June 2021, SYNNEX Japan had a maximum commitment of JPY 15.0 billion, or $136.4 million, comprised of a JPY7.0 billion, or $63.6 million, term loan and a JPY8.0 billion, or $72.7 million, revolving credit facility. The interest rate for the term loan and revolving credit facility is based on the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, plus a margin, which, prior to the Merger transaction was based on our consolidated leverage ratio, and after the Merger transaction is based on our credit rating. Currently the margin over the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate equals 0.80% per annum. The unused line fee on the revolving credit facility is currently 0.125% per annum and prior to the Merger was based on our consolidated current leverage ratio, but is now also based on our credit ratings. The term loan can be repaid at any time prior to the expiration date without penalty. We have guaranteed the obligations of SYNNEX Japan under this facility. As of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the balances outstanding under the term loan component of these facilities were $45.5 million and $67.1 million respectively. As of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the balances outstanding under the revolving credit facility were $8.2 million and $31.6 million.

In the United States, we have a senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the "U.S. Credit Agreement") with a group of financial institutions. The U.S. Credit Agreement includes a $600.0 million commitment for a revolving credit facility and a term loan in the original principal amount of $1.2 billion. We can request incremental commitments to increase the principal amount of the revolving line of credit or term loan by $500.0 million, plus an additional amount which is dependent upon our pro forma first lien leverage ratio, as calculated under the U.S. Credit Agreement. The U.S. Credit Agreement matures in September 2022. The remaining outstanding principal of the term loan is payable on maturity. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Agreement can be based on LIBOR or a base rate at our option, plus a margin. The margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and the margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, provided that LIBOR shall not be less than zero. The base rate is a variable-rate which is the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate, plus a margin of 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by the agent, Bank of America, N.A., as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate, plus 1.00%. The unused revolving credit facility commitment fee ranges from 0.175% to 0.30% per annum. The margins above the applicable interest rates and the revolving commitment fee for revolving loans are based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated under the U.S. Credit Agreement. Our obligations under the U.S. Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the parent company’s and its United States domestic subsidiaries’ assets on a pari passu basis with the interests of the lenders under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement (defined below) pursuant to an intercreditor agreement and are guaranteed by certain of our United States domestic subsidiaries. As of both August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the balance outstanding under the term loan component of the U.S. Credit Agreement was $500.0 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit under the U.S. Credit Agreement as of both August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020. The U.S. Credit Agreement was terminated on September 1, 2021 and all outstanding balances were repaid in full as part of the Merger transaction (see Note 17 – Subsequent Event to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

We have a senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with a group of financial institutions, in the original principal amount of $1.8 billion. The U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement matures in October 2023. The remaining outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable on maturity. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement can be based on LIBOR or a base rate at our option, plus a margin. The margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% and the margin for base rate loan ranges from 0.25% to 0.75%, provided that LIBOR shall not be less than zero. The base rate is a variable-rate which is the highest of (a) 0.5% plus the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day and (y) the overnight bank funding rate in effect on such day, (b) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% per annum, and (c) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. During the period in which the term loans were available to be drawn, we paid term loan commitment fees. The margins above our applicable interest rates are, and the term loan commitment fee were, based on our consolidated leverage ratio as calculated under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement. Our obligations under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the parent company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries’ assets on a pari passu basis with the interests of the lenders under the existing U.S. Credit Agreement pursuant to an intercreditor agreement, and are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. As of both August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the balance outstanding under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement was $1.0 billion. The U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement was terminated on September 1, 2021 and all outstanding balances were repaid in full as part of the Merger transaction (see Note 17 – Subsequent Event to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

In connection with the Merger, we have entered into a credit agreement, dated as of April 16, 2021 (the “New Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as agent, pursuant to which we received commitments for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion, which revolving credit facility (the “new revolving credit

facility”) may, at our request but subject to the lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $500 million. The New Credit Agreement also includes a senior unsecured term loan (the “new term loan” and, together with the new revolving credit facility, the “new credit facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, which was fully funded in connection with the closing of the Merger. The borrower under the new credit facilities is the Company. There are no guarantors of the new credit facilities. The maturity of the new credit facilities is on the fifth anniversary of the September 2021 closing date, which will occur in September 2026, subject in the case of the revolving credit facility, to two one-year extensions upon the Company’s prior notice to the lenders and the agreement of the lenders to extend such maturity date.

The outstanding principal amount of the new term loan is payable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.25% of the original $1.5 billion principal balance, commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date of the new credit facilities, with the outstanding principal amount of the term loans due in full on the maturity date. Loans borrowed under the New Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR (or successor) rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR (or successor) rate, plus the applicable margin, which may range from 1.125% to 1.75%, based on the Company’s public debt rating (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The applicable margin on base rate loans is 1.00% less than the corresponding margin on LIBOR (or successor rate) based loans. In addition to these borrowing rates, there is a commitment fee which ranges from 0.125% to 0.300% on any unused commitment under the new revolving credit facility based on the Company’s public debt rating.

The New Credit Agreement contains various loan covenants that are customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers that will restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to take certain actions. The New Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants which require compliance with a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, in each case tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the first full fiscal quarter to occur after the closing date of the new credit facilities. The New Credit Agreement also contains various customary events of default, including with respect to a change of control of the Company.

See Note 17 – Subsequent Event to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding borrowings under the New Credit Agreement in conjunction with the Merger.

On March 22, 2021, we had entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), under which Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and certain other financing institutions joining thereto pursuant to the terms thereof committed to provide (i) a $1.5 billion senior unsecured term bridge facility (the "Term Loan A Bridge Facility"), (ii) a $2.5 billion senior unsecured term bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”) and (iii) a $3.5 billion senior unsecured revolving bridge facility (the "Bridge Revolving Facility"), subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. On April 16, 2021, (i) the $1.5 billion commitment with respect to the Term Loan A Bridge Facility under the Commitment Letter and (ii) the $3.5 billion commitment with respect to the Bridge Revolving Facility under the Commitment Letter were reduced to zero, in each case, as a result of us entering into the New Credit Agreement; and on August 9, 2021 the Bridge Facility was reduced to zero as a result of the issuance of the Notes described below.

On August 9, 2021, SYNNEX completed its offering of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $700.0 million of 1.25% senior notes due 2024, $700.0 million of 1.75% senior notes due 2026, $600.0 million of 2.375% senior notes due 2028, and $500.0 million of 2.65% senior notes due 2031 (collectively, the “Notes,” and such offering, the “Notes Offering”). SYNNEX incurred $27 million towards issuance costs. SYNNEX will pay interest semi-annually on the notes on each of February 9 and August 9, beginning February 9, 2022. The net proceeds from this offering were used to fund a portion of the aggregate cash consideration payable in connection with the Merger, refinance certain of SYNNEX’ and Tech Data’s existing indebtedness and pay related fees and expenses (see Note 17 – Subsequent Event to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion). SYNNEX expects to use any remaining net proceeds from the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes.

SYNNEX Canada has an uncommitted revolving line of credit with a bank under which it can borrow up to CAD50.0 million, or $39.6 million. Borrowings under the facility are secured by eligible inventory and bear interest at a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 2.25% depending on the base rate used. The base rate could be a Banker's Acceptance Rate, a Canadian Prime Rate, LIBOR or U.S. Base Rate. As of both August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility.

Other borrowings and term debt include lines of credit with financial institutions at certain locations outside the United States, factoring of accounts receivable with recourse provisions, finance leases, a building mortgage and book overdrafts. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by country, depending on local market conditions. Borrowings under these facilities are generally guaranteed by us or secured by eligible accounts receivable. As of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the balances outstanding under these revolving credit facilities were $0.6 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

The maximum commitment amounts for local currency credit facilities have been translated into United States Dollars at August 31, 2021 exchange rates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have financing programs in the United States and Japan under which trade accounts receivable of certain customers may be sold to financial institutions. Available capacity under these programs is dependent upon the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. At August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we had a total of $48.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively, of trade accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institutions under these programs.

Covenant Compliance

Our credit facilities have a number of covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests. They also limit our ability to incur additional debt, make intercompany loans, pay dividends and make other types of distributions, make certain acquisitions, repurchase our stock, create liens, cancel debt owed to us, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of our business, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, make certain investments, enter into new real estate leases, transfer and sell assets, cancel or terminate any material contracts and merge or consolidate. As of August 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all material covenants for the above arrangements, and we do not believe we are at material risk of not meeting such covenants.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations consist of future payments due under our loans, payments for our operating lease commitments and repatriation tax under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the TCJA”) which are already recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, our contractual obligations include interest on our debt. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as at August 31, 2021 (prepared on a fiscal year basis with the remaining three months of fiscal 2021 representing the less than 1 year obligations):

We are contingently liable under agreements, without expiration dates, to repurchase repossessed inventory acquired by flooring companies as a result of default on floor plan financing arrangements by our customers. There have been no repurchases through August 31, 2021 under these agreements and we are not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations. As we do not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from us still on hand with the customer at any point in time, our repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. As of August 31, 2021, and November 30, 2020, accounts receivable subject to flooring arrangements were $42.1 million and $49.5 million, respectively. For more information on our third-party revolving short-term financing arrangements, see Note 8 - Accounts Receivable Arrangements to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report.

As of August 31, 2021, we have established a reserve of $11.6 million for unrecognized tax benefits.

As we are unable to reasonably predict the timing of settlement of these guarantees and the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits, the table above excludes such liabilities.

In addition, refer to Note 17 - Subsequent Event to the Consolidated Financial Statements for contractual obligations under the New Credit Agreement entered into in connection with our acquisition of Tech Data.

Neither MiTAC Holdings nor Mr. Miau is affiliated with any person(s), entity, or entities that hold a majority interest in MiTAC Incorporated.

MiTAC Holdings generally has influence over us regarding matters submitted to stockholders for consideration, including any merger or acquisition of ours. Among other things, this could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control over the Company.

We purchased inventories and services from MiTAC Holdings and its affiliates totaling $46.4 million and $136.2 million during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively and totaling $53.4 million and $151.9 million during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively. Our sales to MiTAC Holdings and its affiliates totaled $0.1 million and $0.5 million during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively, and totaled $0.2 million and $0.7 million during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, we paid for reimbursement of rent and overhead costs for the use of facilities of MiTAC Holdings and its affiliates amounting to $38 thousand and $118 thousand during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively, and $27 thousand and $91 thousand during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively.

Our business relationship with MiTAC Holdings and its affiliates has been informal and is generally not governed by long-term commitments or arrangements with respect to pricing terms, revenue or capacity commitments. We negotiate pricing and other material terms on a case-by-case basis with MiTAC Holdings. We have adopted a policy requiring that material transactions with MiTAC Holdings or its related parties be approved by our Audit Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors. In addition, Mr. Miau’s compensation is approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is also composed solely of independent directors.

Synnex Technology International is a publicly-traded corporation in Taiwan that currently provides distribution and fulfillment services to various markets in Asia and Australia, and is also our potential competitor. MiTAC Holdings and its affiliates are not restricted from competing with us.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk  

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risk in the ordinary course of business in our continuing operations. We manage cash flow exposures for our major countries and the foreign currency impact of assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies using a combination of forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged are the Canadian Dollar, the Indian Rupee, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso, the Euro, the Mexican Peso, the Chinese Yuan, and the Chilean Peso. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The following table presents the hypothetical changes in fair values of our outstanding foreign currency derivative instruments related to our continuing operations as of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, arising from an instantaneous strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar by 5%, 10% and 15% (in thousands):

Our foreign exchange contracts have typical maturities of twelve months or less and are executed to protect us against foreign currency exposure pertaining to receivables, payables and intercompany transactions that are denominated in currencies different from the functional currencies of the respective entities. These contracts are marked-to-market and any material gains and losses on our hedge contracts resulting from a hypothetical, instantaneous change in the strength of the U.S. dollar would be significantly offset by mark-to-market gains and losses on the corresponding assets and liabilities being hedged.

On August 9, 2021, SYNNEX completed its offering of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $700.0 million of 1.25% senior notes due 2024, $700.0 million of 1.75% senior notes due 2026, $600.0 million of 2.375% senior notes due 2028, and $500.0 million of 2.65% senior notes due 2031. SYNNEX will pay interest semi-annually on the notes on each of February 9 and August 9, beginning February 9, 2022. See Note 9 – Borrowings to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

There have been no other material changes in interest rate risk and equity price risk related to our continuing operations during the nine months ended August 31, 2021 from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. For a discussion of the Company's exposure to interest rate and equity risk, reference is made to disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our above-mentioned Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with management’s evaluation during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Part I-Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks Related to the Acquisition of Tech Data

We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

The success of the acquisition of Tech Data (the “Merger”) will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from combining the businesses of SYNNEX and Tech Data. Our ability to realize these anticipated benefits and cost savings is subject to certain risks including:

 

Our ability to successfully combine the businesses of SYNNEX and Tech Data;

 

whether the combined businesses will perform as expected;

 

the reduction of our cash available for operations and other uses and the incurrence of indebtedness to finance the Merger; and

 

the assumption of known and unknown liabilities of Tech Data.

SYNNEX and Tech Data have operated independently, and there can be no assurances that our businesses can be integrated successfully. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key SYNNEX or Tech Data employees, the disruption of either or both company’s ongoing businesses, higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. Specifically, issues that must be addressed to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger so the combined business performs as expected include, among other things:

 

integrating the companies’ technologies, products and services;

 

identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming operations and assets;

 

harmonizing the companies’ operating practices, employee development and compensation programs, internal controls and other policies, procedures and processes;

 

attracting, motivating and retaining executives and other key personnel;

 

addressing possible differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies;

 

consolidating the companies’ corporate, administrative and information technology infrastructure;

 

managing the movement of certain businesses and positions to different locations;

 

maintaining existing agreements with customers and vendors and avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective customers and vendors; and

 

consolidating offices of SYNNEX and Tech Data that are currently in or near the same location.

In addition, at times, the attention of certain members of either or both company’s management and resources may be focused on the integration of the businesses of the two companies and diverted from day-to-day business operations, which may disrupt each company’s ongoing business and the business of the combined company.

If we fail to properly mitigate these risks or address the issues set forth above, the anticipated cost savings and other benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, which in turn could adversely affect our business operations and value of our common stock.

We may be targets of securities class action and derivative lawsuits relating to the Merger, which could result in substantial costs.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into merger agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition. Currently, we are not aware of any securities class action lawsuits or derivative lawsuits being filed in connection with the Merger.

Stockholder lawsuits relating to the Merger have been filed against us, which could result in substantial costs.

Stockholder lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into merger agreements. Between May 26, 2021 and June 22, 2021, four such suits have been brought against SYNNEX and the Board. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition.

We will incur significant transaction and integration-related costs in connection with the Merger.

We expect to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the Merger and combining the operations of Tech Data with our operations. We will incur significant transaction costs related to the Merger. We also will incur significant integration-related fees and costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including facilities and systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. We continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred related to the Merger and the integration of Tech Data into our business. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, should allow us to offset integration-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

Apollo will be able to exercise significant influence over the composition of the Board, matters subject to stockholder approval and/or the Company’s operations.

As a result of the issuance of 44 million shares of SYNNEX common stock in the Merger, entities affiliated with Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“Apollo”) held 46% of the Company’s stock immediately following the closing of the Merger. Additionally, the Company entered into an Investor Rights Agreement at the closing of the Merger, which provides that following the closing, the board of directors shall be comprised of eleven directors, and that affiliates of Apollo have the right to nominate a certain number of directors, depending on the percentage of the outstanding shares of SYNNEX common stock held. As a result, Apollo will be in a position to influence (subject to organizational documents and Delaware law) the composition of the Company’s board of directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as mergers, business combinations and dispositions of assets, among other corporate transactions. This concentration of investment and voting power could discourage others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change of control transaction that may otherwise be beneficial to SYNNEX and its stockholders, which could adversely affect the market price of SYNNEX common stock.

Risks Related to the Discontinuance of LIBOR

We may face risk associated with the discontinuation of and transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark interest rate.

It is anticipated that LIBOR will be discontinued by the end of 2021. At this time, however, it is not possible to predict the effect of any changes to LIBOR, the discontinuation of LIBOR or any establishment of alternative benchmark interest rates in the future. If LIBOR is no longer available or if there are any future changes to benchmark interest rates, this may have an uncertain impact on our variable-rate debt, which could adversely impact our interest expense, results of operations and cash flows.
