Overview
We are a Fortune 100 corporation and a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the information technology ("IT") ecosystem. We serve a critical role, bringing products from the world's leading and emerging technology vendors to market, and helping our customers create solutions best suited to maximize business outcomes for their end-user customers. We aggregate and distribute IT hardware, software, and systems including personal computing devices and peripherals, mobile phones and accessories, printers, server and datacenter infrastructure, hybrid cloud, security, networking, communications and storage solutions, and system components. We also design and deliver purpose-built server, storage and networking solutions for the hyperscale computing infrastructure market. We operate in three reportable segments based on our geographic regions: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific and Japan ("APJ").
We have been in business since 1980 and have headquarters in both Clearwater, Florida and Fremont, California. 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. On September 1, 2021, SYNNEX Corporation acquired Tech Data Corporation, a Florida corporation (“Tech Data”) through a series of mergers, which resulted in Tech Data becoming an indirect subsidiary of TD SYNNEX Corporation (collectively, the "Merger"). On October 22, 2021, as a result of the Merger we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change our corporate name from SYNNEX Corporation to TD SYNNEX Corporation, effective November 3, 2021.
Our Strategy
Digital transformation and the migration to cloud computing is reshaping our industry, enabling businesses and consumers to evaluate, procure, acquire, and consume technology products and services in a variety of ways. Hybrid models of IT consumption, supporting both physical and virtual delivery methods are emerging, as hardware and software-based solutions become increasingly combined. As a result, customers are seeking greater integration of products, services and solutions that tie technologies together. Therefore, we believe it is important to provide a broad, end-to-end portfolio, with deep capabilities across the computing continuum to help customers manage the increasingly complex IT ecosystem and deliver the solutions and business outcomes the market desires. Our vision for the future is to be the vital solutions aggregator and orchestrator that connects the IT ecosystem.
We are focusing on the following strategic imperatives in pursuit of our vision:
- Unify our reach by expanding our portfolio in both mature and developing markets through our targeted go-to-market strategy.
- Target new customers by leveraging our specialist go-to-market and trusted advisor approach to deliver tailored value propositions and personalized solutions that align closely with the unique business needs and priorities of each customer.
- Expand our addressable market through our unique vendor value proposition, capitalizing on end-to-end capabilities to support business currently operated by vendors.
- Diversify our offerings within our end-to-end portfolio of products, services and solutions, including providing design, manufacturing and supply chain services to hyperscale computing infrastructure customers.
- Expand and attach our services capabilities to meet our customers’ evolving needs, also enabling us to engage earlier in the customer lifecycle, support more complex deployments, drive renewals and deepen our relationships with our customers.
Our Products and Suppliers
We offer a comprehensive catalog of more than 200,000 technology products (as measured by active SKU's) from approximately 2,500 OEMs, including personal computing devices, mobile phones and accessories, and strategic technologies such as cloud, security, data analytics, AI and hyperscale computing infrastructure. This enables us to offer comprehensive solutions to our reseller and retail customers. We group the majority of our offerings into two primary solutions portfolios, Endpoint Solutions and Advanced Solutions which are comprised of the following:
Endpoint Solutions Portfolio:
- Our Endpoint Solutions portfolio primarily includes personal computing devices and peripherals, mobile phones and accessories, printers and supplies.
Advanced Solutions Portfolio:
- Our Advanced Solutions portfolio primarily includes data center technologies such as hybrid cloud, security, storage, networking, servers, software, converged and hyper-converged infrastructure and hyperscale computing infrastructure, via our Hyve business.
Our suppliers include leading IT systems, system components and peripherals, software, communications and security equipment, and networking equipment manufacturers. We purchase these and other 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. We provide our vendors with access to large and highly fragmented markets such as small- and medium-sized businesses (“SMB”) and serve as a variable, cost effective route to market for our vendors by providing them with access to resellers and end-users.
The following table provides revenue generated from products purchased from vendors that exceeded 10% of our consolidated revenue for the periods indicated (as a percent of consolidated revenue):
| Twelve Months Ended November 30, 2025 | November 30, 2024 | November 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple, Inc. | 12% | 12% | 11% |
| HP Inc. | 10% | N/A (1) | N/A (1) |
(1) Revenue generated from products purchased from this vendor was less than 10% of consolidated revenue during the period presented.
We have distribution agreements with most of our suppliers, including Apple Inc. and HP Inc. These agreements usually provide for nonexclusive distribution rights and pertain to specific geographic territories. The agreements are also generally short-term, subject to periodic renewal, and often contain provisions permitting termination by either our supplier or us without cause upon relatively short notice. Our vendor agreements generally do not restrict us from selling similar products manufactured by competitors, nor do they require us to sell a specified quantity of product. As a result, we have the flexibility to terminate or curtail sales of one product line in favor of another due to technological change, pricing considerations, product availability, and customer demand or vendor distribution policies. An OEM supplier that elects to terminate a distribution agreement will generally repurchase its products carried in our inventory.
Our business subjects us to the risk that the value of our inventory will be affected adversely by suppliers’ price reductions or by technological changes affecting the usefulness or desirability of the products comprising our inventory. Many of our OEM suppliers offer us limited protection from the loss in value of our inventory due to a supplier’s price reduction or technological change. Under many of these agreements, we have a limited period of time to return or exchange products or claim price protection credits. Historically, price protection and stock rotation privileges, as well as our inventory management procedures, have helped reduce the risk of loss of inventory value. We monitor our inventory levels and attempt to time our purchases to maximize our protection under supplier programs.
Our Customers
Our products are marketed globally to an active reseller base of more than 150,000 customers. Our reseller customers include value-added resellers (“VARs”), independent software vendors ("ISVs"), corporate resellers, government resellers, system integrators, direct marketers, retailers and managed service providers (“MSPs”). Resellers are classified primarily by their end-user customers. End-users include large corporations or enterprises, federal, state and local governments, SMBs, and individual consumers. In addition, resellers vary greatly in size and geographic reach. Our reseller customers buy from us and other distributors. Our larger reseller customers also buy certain products directly from OEM suppliers. System integrators offer services in addition to product resale, primarily in systems customization, integration, and deployment. Retailers serve mostly individual end-users and to a small degree, small office/home office customers. We also provide systems design and integration solutions for data center servers and networking solutions built specific to our customers’ workloads and data center environments.
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 specialized service offerings that increase efficiencies in the areas of global computing components, logistics services and supply chain management.
One customer accounted for 11%, 12% and 11% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of November 30, 2025 and 2024, no single customer comprised more than 10% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. While we do not believe that the loss of any single customer would have a material adverse effect on us, such loss could result in an adverse impact on certain of our businesses.
Our business is characterized by low gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, and low operating income as a percentage of revenue, or operating margin. The market for IT products has generally been characterized by declining unit prices and short product life cycles, although unit prices for certain products have increased during certain periods due to factors such as supply chain constraints and inflation. 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. Our gross margin has fluctuated annually due to changes in the mix of products we offer, the percentage of revenue that is presented on a net basis, customers we sell to, incentives and rebates received from our OEM suppliers, competition, seasonality, replacement of lower margin business, inventory obsolescence, and lower costs associated with increased efficiencies. Generally, when our revenue becomes more concentrated on limited products or customers, our gross margin tends to decrease due to increased pricing pressure from OEM suppliers or reseller customers.
We are highly dependent on the end-market demand for IT 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 products and software by OEM suppliers, replacement cycles for existing IT products, trends toward cloud computing and software-as-a-service arrangements, overall economic growth and general business activity. A difficult and challenging economic environment may also lead to consolidation or decline in the IT industries and increased price-based competition.

Our dedicated cloud team comprising developers, sales engineers and solutions specialists, supports our reseller customers in the sales of these solutions.
Online Services. We maintain electronic data interchange (“EDI”), extensible markup language (“XML”), web-based communication links and mobile applications with many of our reseller and retail customers. These links improve the speed and efficiency of our transactions with our customers by enabling them to search for products, check inventory availability and prices, configure systems, place and track orders, receive invoices, review account status and process returns. We also have web-based application software that allows our customers or their end-user customers to order software and take delivery online. In addition, we use proprietary and industry standard application programming interfaces ("APIs") to connect with OEMs and resellers, providing dynamic transactional capabilities to our platforms.
Financial Services. We offer our reseller customers various financing options, including net terms, third party leasing, floor plan financing and letters-of-credit backed financing and arrangements where we collect payments directly from the end-user. We also lease products to our reseller customers and their end-users and provide DaaS, or Device-as-a-Service, to end-users. The availability and terms of our financing services are subject to our credit policies or those of third-party financing providers to our customers.
Marketing Services. We offer our OEM suppliers a full range of marketing activities targeting resellers, system integrators and retailers including direct mail, external media advertising, reseller product training, targeted telemarketing campaigns, national and regional trade shows, trade groups, database analysis, print on demand services and web-based marketing.
Sales and Marketing
We serve our large commercial, government reseller, and retail customers through dedicated sales professionals. Our sales professionals receive comprehensive training on our policies, procedures and the technical specifications of products, and attend additional training offered by our vendors. We market to smaller resellers and OEM suppliers through dedicated regional sales teams. In addition, we have dedicated product management and business development specialists that focus on the sale and promotion of products and services of selected suppliers or for specific end-market verticals. These specialists are also directly involved in establishing new relationships with leading OEM suppliers to create demand for their products and services and with resellers for their customers’ needs. We also have a direct sales approach for our design and integration solutions business. Our sales and marketing professionals are complemented by members of our executive management team who are integral in identifying potential new customer opportunities, promoting sales growth and ensuring customer satisfaction. We have sales and marketing professionals in close geographic proximity to our customers and OEM suppliers.
Our Operations
We operate 168 distribution and administrative facilities globally. Our distribution processes are highly automated to ensure timely order fulfillment and accuracy, and enhance the efficiency of our warehouse operations and back office administration. Our distribution facilities are geographically dispersed to be near reseller customers and their end-users. This decentralized, regional strategy enables us to benefit from lower shipping costs and shorter delivery lead times to our customers. Furthermore, we track multiple performance measurements to continuously improve the efficiency and capabilities of our distribution operations. Our regional locations also enable us to make local deliveries and provide will-call fulfillment to more customers than if our distribution operations were more centralized, resulting in better service to our customers. To optimize response to short-term changes in order activity, our workforce is comprised of permanent and temporary co-workers.
Our proprietary IT systems and processes enable us to automate many of our distribution operations. We use radio frequency and bar code scanning technologies in our warehouse operations to maintain real-time inventory records, facilitate strong inventory control and improve the speed and accuracy of order fulfillment.
To enhance the accuracy of our distribution order fulfillment and protect our inventory from shrinkage, our distribution systems also incorporate numerous controls. These controls include robotic automation, order weight checks, bar code scanning, and serial number profile verification. We also use digital video imaging to record both receiving and shipping activities. These images and other warehouse and shipping data are available online to our customer service representatives, enabling us to quickly respond to order inquiries by our customers.
We operate our principal systems design and integration solutions facilities in the United States with additional locations in Taiwan, the United Kingdom and China. We generally design and integrate IT systems, data center servers and networking solutions and IT appliances, by incorporating system components either purchased directly from vendors, obtained from our distribution inventory or through a customer-owned procurement model. Some of our design and integration solutions facilities are ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified.
International Operations
Approximately 48% of our consolidated revenue for fiscal year 2025 was generated by our international operations. Our end market strategy is to continue expanding internationally on a selective basis in order to provide our distribution capabilities to OEM suppliers in locations that meet their regional requirements.
Sales and cost concentrations in foreign jurisdictions subject us to various risks, including the impact of changes in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, which in turn can impact reported sales.
See Note 12 – Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report for financial information by segment.
Seasonality
Our operating results are affected by the seasonality of the IT products industry. We have historically experienced slightly higher sales in our fourth fiscal quarter due to patterns in capital budgeting, federal government spending and purchasing cycles of our customers and end-users. These historical patterns may not be repeated in subsequent periods.
Purchasing
Product cost represents our single largest expense and IT product inventory is one of our largest working capital investments. Furthermore, product procurement from our OEM suppliers is a highly complex process that involves incentive programs, rebate programs, price protection, volume and early payment discounts and other arrangements. Consequently, efficient and effective purchasing operations are critical to our success.
Our purchasing group works closely with many areas of our organization, especially our product managers who work closely with our OEM suppliers and our sales force, to understand the volume and mix of IT products that should be purchased. In addition, depending on the business unit, the purchasing group utilizes either internally developed, proprietary information systems or commercial off-the-shelf applications that further aid in forecasting future product demand based on several factors, including historical sales levels, expected product life cycle and current and projected economic conditions. We may also rely on our receipt of good-faith, non-binding customer forecasts. We maintain electronic connections with our OEM suppliers to send purchase orders, receive purchase order status and receive notification once the product has shipped from our supplier. Our information system also tracks warehouse and channel inventory levels and open purchase orders on a real-time basis enabling us to stock inventory at a regional level closer to the customer as well as to actively manage our working capital resources. This level of automation promotes greater efficiencies of inventory management by replenishing and turning inventory, as well as placing purchase orders on a more frequent basis. Furthermore, our system tool also allows for automated checks and controls to prevent the generation of inaccurate orders.
Managing our OEM supplier incentive programs is another critical function of our purchasing and product management teams. We also attempt to maximize the benefits of incentives, rebates and volume and early payment discounts that our OEM suppliers offer us. We carefully evaluate these supplier incentive benefits relative to our product handling and carrying costs so that we do not over-invest in our inventory. We also closely monitor inventory levels on a product-by-product basis and plan purchases to take advantage of OEM supplier provided price protection. By managing inventory levels and monitoring customer purchase patterns at each of our regional distribution facilities, we believe we can minimize our shipping costs by stocking products near our resellers and retailers, and their end-user customers.
Financial Services
We offer various financing options to our customers as well as prepayment, credit card and cash on delivery terms. In providing credit terms to our reseller and retail customers, we closely and regularly monitor their creditworthiness through our information systems, their credit ratings information and periodic detailed credit file reviews by our financial services staff. We have also purchased credit insurance in most geographies to further control customer credit risks. Finally, we establish reserves for estimated credit losses in the normal course of business based on the overall quality and aging of our accounts receivable portfolio, the existence of credit insurance and specifically identified customer risks.
We also sell to certain reseller customers pursuant to third party floor plan financing. The expenses charged by these financing companies are subsidized either by our OEM suppliers or paid by us. We receive payment from these financing companies based on agreed upon terms that depend on the specific arrangement.
Information Technology
Our IT systems manage the entire order cycle, including processing customer orders, customer billing and payment tracking. These IT systems make our operations more efficient and provide visibility into our operations. We believe our IT infrastructure is scalable to support further growth. We continue to enhance and invest in our IT systems to improve product and inventory management, streamline order and fulfillment processes, and increase operational flexibility.
To allow our customers and suppliers to communicate and transact business with us in an efficient and consistent manner, we have implemented a mix of proprietary and off-the-shelf software programs that integrate our IT systems with those of our customers and suppliers. In particular, we maintain EDI, XML, API, and web-based communication links and mobile platform applications with many of our reseller and retail customers to enable them to search for products, check real-time pricing, inventory availability and specifications, place and track orders, receive invoices and process returns.
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive global environment. The IT product industry is characterized by intense competition, based primarily on product availability, credit terms and availability, price, speed and accuracy of delivery, effectiveness of sales and marketing programs, ability to tailor specific solutions to customer needs, quality and depth of product lines and training, pre- and post-sale technical support, flexibility and timely response to design changes, technological capabilities and product quality, service and support. We compete with a variety of regional, national and international IT product distributors and manufacturers.
We compete against several international distributors, including Ingram Micro Holding Corporation, Arrow Electronics, Inc. and Westcon-Comstor, as well as regional distributors including ScanSource, Inc., ALSO Holding, Esprinet, VSTECS Holdings Ltd. and Synnex Technology International Corp. (a separate and unrelated entity from the Company). The distribution industry has historically undergone, and continues to undergo, consolidation. We have participated in this consolidation and expect to continue to assess opportunities. We also compete against companies who participate within the hyperscale computing infrastructure market including Jabil Inc., Celestica, Flex Ltd., Quanta Computer Inc. and Wiwynn Corporation.
As we enter new business areas, we may encounter increased competition from our current competitors and/or new competitors. We constantly seek to expand our business into areas primarily related to our core distribution as well as other support, logistics and related value-added services, both organically and through strategic acquisitions.
Human Capital Resources
As of November 30, 2025, we had approximately 24,000 full-time co-workers. Given the variability in our business and the quick response time required by customers, it is critical that we are able to rapidly ramp-up and ramp-down our operational capabilities to maximize efficiency. As a result, we use temporary or contract workers, who totaled approximately 6,000 as of November 30, 2025, on a full-time equivalent basis. Certain of our co-workers in various countries outside of the United States are subject to laws providing representation rights to co-workers through workers' councils.
We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace that attracts and retains exceptional talent. Through ongoing co-worker development, comprehensive compensation and benefits, and a focus on health, safety and co-worker well-being, we strive to help our co-workers in all aspects of their lives so they can do their best work.
Fostering Connection
We are committed to capturing the ideas and perspectives that fuel innovation and enable our workforce, customers, and communities to succeed in the digital age. We accomplish this through a focus on our global values: Together We… Dare to Go, Grow and Win, Own It and Do the Right Thing. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion starts at the top with a highly skilled and diverse Board of Directors, complemented by our diverse management team. The company invests in co-workers and communities, creating an equal opportunity to succeed. Our refreshed values reflect a commitment to taking responsibility, supporting continuous learning and leading with integrity.
Pay Equity or Total Rewards
We believe people should be paid for what they do and how they do it, regardless of their gender, race, or other personal characteristics. To deliver on that commitment, we benchmark and set pay ranges based on market data and consider factors such as a co-worker’s role and experience, the location of their job, and their performance. We also review our compensation practices, both in terms of our overall workforce and individual co-workers, to ensure our pay is fair and equitable. Our practice includes reviewing the compensation of co-workers to ensure consistent pay practices by conducting a pay equity analysis annually comparing co-workers performing substantially similar work within a country or location. As we move forward, we aim to improve our pay equity position across the globe to ensure fairness for all co-workers. Each year we will assess our progress and make adjustments to improve our pay equity position.
We require a talented workforce and are committed to providing total rewards that are market-competitive and performance-based, driving innovation and operational excellence. Our compensation programs, practices, and policies reflect our commitment to reward short- and long-term performance that aligns with, and drives, stockholder value. Total direct compensation is generally positioned within a competitive range of the market median, with differentiation based on performance, experience, tenure and skills to attract and retain key talent.
Co-worker Engagement
We regularly collect feedback to measure co-worker engagement, to better understand and improve the co-worker experience and to identify opportunities to continually strengthen our culture. We want to know what is working well, what we can do better and how well our co-workers understand and are practicing our cultural values.
Training and Development
Human capital development drives our strategy at TD SYNNEX. We invest in co-workers’ growth by offering diverse learning opportunities, including in-person, virtual, social, self-directed, mentoring, coaching and external programs. In fiscal year 2025, we established the role of Chief Learning and Belonging Officer. Our mission is to systematically build capability at TD SYNNEX, equipping co-workers to adapt their skills, tools and mindsets for the evolving workplace. In fiscal year 2025, we launched TD SYNNEX Learning Labs, prioritized high-growth skills and began our AI enablement transformation. Most notably, every people leader was invited to leverage a professional human coach as part of a new experiential learning journey aligned with our evolved servant leadership values.
Health, Safety and Wellness
The physical health, financial well-being, life balance and mental health of our co-workers is vital to our success. Our environmental, health, and safety leadership team uses our global injury and illness reporting system to assess trends regionally and worldwide as a part of quarterly reviews. Our warehouse and integration facilities continue to represent our most significant health and safety risks. Managing and reducing risks at these facilities remains a focus, and injury rates continue to be low. We also sponsor a wellness program designed to enhance physical, financial, and mental well-being for all our co-workers. Throughout the year, we encourage healthy behaviors through regular communications, educational sessions, voluntary progress tracking, wellness challenges, and other incentives.
Driving Sustainable Transformation
As a leading IT distributor, we recognize that our unique position at the center of the global technology ecosystem connects us to more than 150,000 reseller customers with more than 2,500 best-in-class technology vendors. This enables us to identify opportunities for innovation, sustainable practices and positive outcomes up and down the value chain. We utilize a robust Corporate Citizenship framework designed to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders. In fiscal year 2025 we continued to advance our goals of expanding the circular economy, embedding a culture of sustainability, sharing our sustainability insights and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (“GHGs”) in our global operations by 2045.

The following discussion is divided into several sections. The first section, which begins immediately following this paragraph, captioned "Risks Related to Our Business and Operations" discusses some of the risks that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The second section, captioned “Risks Related to Our Indebtedness” discusses our debt-related risks. The third section, captioned “Risks Related to our Industry,” discusses risks impacting businesses operating in our industry. The fourth section, captioned “Risks Related to the Macro-Economic and Regulatory Environment,” relates to risks which broadly affect companies operating in regions in which we operate. You should carefully review all of these sections, as well as our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other information appearing in this report, for important information regarding risks that affect us. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Report because these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Before you invest in our Company, you should know that making such an investment involves some risks, including the risks described below. The risks that have been highlighted here are not the only ones that we face. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
We anticipate that our revenue and operating results will fluctuate, which could adversely affect the enterprise value of our Company and our securities.
Our operating results have fluctuated and will fluctuate in the future as a result of many factors, including:
- the impact of the business acquisitions and dispositions we make;
- general economic conditions and level of IT spending;
- the loss or consolidation of one or more of our significant OEM suppliers or customers;
- market acceptance, quality, pricing, availability and useful life of our products and services, as well as the mix of our products and services sold;
- competitive conditions in our industry;
- trends towards cloud based infrastructure and “as-a-Service” type product offerings;
- pricing, margin and other terms with our OEM suppliers;
- decline in inventory value as a result of product obsolescence and market acceptance;
- variations in our levels of excess inventory, vendor reserves and doubtful accounts;
- fluctuations in rates in the currencies in which we transact;
- changes in the terms of OEM supplier-inventory protections, such as price protection and return rights; and
- the expansion of our design and integration solutions sales and operations, globally.
Although we attempt to control our expense levels, these levels are based, in part, on anticipated revenue. Therefore, we may not be able to control spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.
Our operating results are affected by the seasonality of the IT products and services industry. We have historically experienced slightly higher sales in our fourth fiscal quarter due to patterns in the capital budgeting, federal government spending and purchasing cycles of our customers and end-users. These historical patterns may not be repeated in subsequent periods. You should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of our operating results as an indication of future performance. In future years, our operating results may be below our expectations or those of our public market analysts or investors, which would likely cause our share price to decline.
We are subject to uncertainties and variability in demand by our customers, which could decrease revenue and adversely affect our operating results, and we have customer contracts with provisions that could cause fluctuations in our revenue.
We typically sell to our customers on a purchase order basis, rather than pursuant to long-term contracts or contracts with minimum purchase requirements. Consequently, our sales are subject to demand variability by our customers. The level and timing of orders placed by our customers vary for a variety of reasons, including seasonal buying by end-users, the introduction of new hardware and software technologies and general economic conditions. Customers submitting a purchase order may cancel, reduce or delay their orders. If we are unable to anticipate and respond to the demands of our reseller, retail and design and integration solutions customers, we may lose customers because we have an inadequate supply of products, or we may have excess inventory, either of which could harm our business, financial position and operating results.
With regard to our design and integration solutions customers, unique parts are purchased based both on customer purchase orders and forecasted demand. We have limited protection against excess inventory should anticipated demand not materialize.
We depend on a limited number of OEMs to supply the IT products and services that we sell and the loss of, or a material change in, our business relationship with a major OEM supplier could adversely affect our business, financial position and operating results.
Our future success is highly dependent on our relationships with a small number of OEM suppliers. For example, sales of Apple Inc. products and services comprised approximately 12%, 12%, and 11% of our total revenue for fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively and sales from HP, Inc. comprised approximately 10% of our total revenue for fiscal year 2025. Our OEM supplier agreements typically are short-term and may be terminated without cause upon short notice. OEM supplier agreements are often established at a regional or country level and these relationships may change in some countries or regions and not others. The loss or deterioration of our relationship with Apple Inc., HP Inc. or any other major OEM supplier, the authorization by OEM suppliers of additional distributors, the sale of products by OEM suppliers directly to our reseller and retail customers and end-users, or our failure to establish relationships with new OEM suppliers or to expand the distribution and supply chain services that we provide OEM suppliers could adversely affect our business, financial position and operating results. In addition, OEM suppliers may face liquidity or solvency issues that in turn could negatively affect our business and operating results.
Our business is also highly dependent on the terms provided by our OEM suppliers. Generally, each OEM supplier has the ability to change the terms and conditions of its distribution agreements, such as reducing the amount of price protection and return rights or reducing the level of purchase discounts, incentive rebates, scope of the geographic area in which we can sell and marketing programs available to us.
Additionally, we have certain arrangements with third-party financial institutions ("Supplier Finance Programs"), which facilitate the participating OEM suppliers' ability to sell their accounts receivable from us to third-party financial institutions, at the sole discretion of these OEM suppliers. As part of these arrangements, we generally receive more favorable payment terms from the participating OEM suppliers. Significant changes in these Supplier Finance Programs or in other vendor payment terms could negatively impact our liquidity and financial condition.
From time to time we may conduct business with a supplier without a formal agreement because the agreement has expired or was otherwise terminated. In such case, we are subject to additional risk with respect to products, warranties and returns, and other terms and conditions. If we are unable to pass the impact of these changes through to our reseller and retail customers, our business, financial position and operating results could be adversely affected.
Our gross margins are low, which magnifies the impact of variations in gross margin, operating costs and our operating results.
As a result of significant price competition in the IT products and services industry, our gross margins are low, and we expect them to continue to be low in the future. Increased competition arising from industry consolidation and low demand for certain IT products and services may hinder our ability to maintain or improve our gross margins. These low gross margins magnify the impact of variations in revenue and operating costs on our operating results. A portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed, and planned expenditures are based in part on anticipated orders that are forecasted with limited visibility of future demand. As a result, we may not be able to reduce our operating expenses to sufficiently mitigate any further reductions in gross profit or margin in the future. If we cannot proportionately decrease our cost structure in response to competitive price pressures, our business and operating results could suffer.
We also receive purchase discounts and rebates from OEM suppliers based on various factors, including sales or purchase volume and breadth of customers. A decrease in revenue could negatively affect the level of volume rebates received from our OEM suppliers and thus, our gross margin. Because some rebates from OEM suppliers are based on percentage increases in sales of products, it may become more difficult for us to achieve the percentage growth in sales required for larger discounts due to the current size of our revenue base. A decrease or elimination of purchase discounts and rebates from our OEM suppliers would adversely affect our business and operating results.
We are subject to the risk that our inventory value may decline, and protective terms under our OEM supplier agreements may not adequately cover the decline in value, which in turn may harm our business, financial position and operating results.
The IT products industry is subject to rapid technological change, new and enhanced product specification requirements, and evolving industry standards. These changes may cause inventory on hand to decline substantially in value or to rapidly become obsolete. Most of our OEM suppliers offer limited protection from the loss in value of inventory. For example, we can receive a credit from many OEM suppliers for products held in inventory in the event of a supplier price reduction. In addition, we have a limited right to return a certain percentage of purchases to most OEM suppliers. These policies are often subject to time restrictions and do not protect us in all cases from declines in inventory value. In addition, our OEM suppliers may become unable or unwilling to fulfill their protection obligations to us. The decrease or elimination of price protection, or the inability of our OEM suppliers to fulfill their protection obligations, could lower our gross margins and cause us to record inventory write-downs. If we are unable to manage our inventory with our OEM suppliers with a high degree of precision, we may have insufficient product supplies or we may have excess inventory, resulting in inventory write-downs, either of which could harm our business, financial position and operating results.
We depend on OEM suppliers to maintain an adequate supply of products to fulfill customer orders on a timely basis, and any supply shortages or delays could cause us to be unable to timely fulfill orders, which in turn could harm our business, financial position and operating results.
Our ability to obtain particular products in the required quantities and to fulfill reseller and retail customer orders on a timely basis is critical to our success. In most cases, we have no guaranteed price or delivery agreements with our OEM suppliers. We have experienced supply shortages of certain products as a result of strong demand or problems experienced by our OEM suppliers. If shortages or delays persist, the price of those products may increase, or the products may not be available at all. Such delays could also impact our ability to procure critical components required to complete customer orders. In addition, our OEM suppliers may decide to distribute, or to substantially increase their existing distribution business, through other distributors, their own dealer networks, or directly to resellers, retailers or end-users. Accordingly, if we are not able to secure and maintain an adequate supply of products to fulfill our customer orders on a timely basis, our business, financial position and operating results could be adversely affected.
We experience customer concentration and intense competition which could adversely impact our revenue.
Our business experiences customer concentration from time to time. One customer accounted for 11%, 12% and 11% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loss of one of our significant customers could result in an adverse impact on our business. For example, our systems design and integration solutions product line has significant customer concentration, requires investments in working capital and infrastructure, and has customer contracts that often offer limited or no volume guarantees or protection for end-of-life investments. The loss of a customer or reduction in order volumes could adversely impact our revenue, provision for inventory losses, the absorption of fixed overhead costs and our future expansion plans. The systems design and integration solutions business operates in a competitive environment. Volumes can fluctuate based on customer demand, delivery quality and the competitive landscape. Our ability to deliver customized solutions on a timely basis is critical to our success. Any delay could impact our competitive position and result in loss of customer orders, which could impact our financial position and operating results.
We have pursued and intend to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions or investments in new markets and may encounter risks associated with these activities, which could harm our business and operating results.
We have in the past pursued, and in the future expect to pursue, acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses and assets in new markets, either within or outside the IT products and services industry, that complement or expand our existing business. Our acquisition strategy involves a number of risks, including:
- difficulty in successfully integrating acquired operations, IT systems, customers, OEM supplier relationships, products, services and businesses with our operations;
- risk that the acquired businesses will fail to maintain the quality of services that we have historically provided;
- loss of key co-workers of acquired operations or inability to hire key co-workers necessary for our expansion;
- diversion of our capital and management attention away from other business issues;
- increase in our expenses and working capital requirements;
- in the case of acquisitions that we may make outside of the United States, difficulty in operating in foreign countries and over significant geographical distances;
- other financial risks, such as potential liabilities of the businesses we acquire; and
- our due diligence process may fail to identify significant issues with the acquired company’s product and service quality, financial disclosures, accounting practices or internal control deficiencies.
We may incur additional costs and certain redundant expenses in connection with our acquisitions and investments, which may have an adverse impact on our operating margins. Future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of additional debt, large write-offs, a decrease in future profitability, or future losses. The incurrence of debt in connection with any future acquisitions could restrict our ability to obtain working capital or other financing necessary to operate our business. Our recent and future acquisitions or investments may not be successful, and if we fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or investments, our business and operating results could be harmed.
Our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets could become impaired, which could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations.
We recorded substantial goodwill and both finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of our previous acquisitions, including the Merger. We review our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess whether there has been an impairment in the value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable include declines in stock price, market capitalization or cash flows and slower growth rates in our industry. Our annual goodwill impairment testing indicated no goodwill impairments for any of the years presented. We could be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets is determined, negatively impacting our results of operations.
Because of the capital-intensive nature of our business, we need continued access to capital, which if not available to us or if not available on favorable terms, could harm our ability to operate or expand our business.
Our business requires significant levels of capital to finance accounts receivable and product inventory that is not financed by trade creditors. If cash from available sources is insufficient, proceeds from our accounts receivable securitization and revolving credit programs are limited or cash is used for unanticipated needs, we may require additional capital sooner than anticipated.
In the event we are required, or elect, to raise additional funds, we may be unable to do so on favorable terms, or at all, and may incur expenses in raising the additional funds. Our current and future indebtedness could adversely affect our operating results and severely limit our ability to plan for, or react to, changes in our business or industry. We could also be limited by financial and other restrictive covenants in our securitization or credit arrangements, including limitations on our borrowing of additional funds and issuing dividends. Furthermore, the cost of securitization or debt financing could significantly increase in the future, making it cost prohibitive to securitize our accounts receivable or borrow, which could force us to issue new equity securities. If we issue new equity securities, existing stockholders may experience dilution, or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. Any inability to raise additional capital when required could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
We have significant credit exposure to our customers, and negative trends in their businesses could cause us significant credit loss and negatively impact our cash flow and liquidity position.
We extend credit to our customers for a significant portion of our sales to them and they have a period of time, generally 30 days after the date of invoice, to make payment. However, in certain cases, for some of our customers, we offer longer terms of payment. As a result, we are subject to the risk that our customers will not pay on time or at all. Our credit exposure risk may increase due to financial difficulties or liquidity or solvency issues experienced by our customers, resulting in their inability to repay us. The liquidity or solvency issues may increase as a result of an economic downturn, increases in costs including due to inflation or higher interest rates, or a decrease in IT spending by end-users. If we are unable to collect payments in a timely manner from our customers due to changes in financial or economic conditions, or for other reasons, and we are unable to collect under our credit insurance policies, we may write-off the amount due from the customers. These write-offs may result in credit insurance being more expensive and on terms that are less favorable to us and may negatively impact our ability to utilize accounts receivable-based financing. In addition, the failure of customers to pay within a specified time period after the date of an invoice could result in defaults under our accounts receivable securitization program. These circumstances could negatively impact our cash flow and liquidity position, or result in the cross-default to our other indebtedness and acceleration of the repayment of our indebtedness. Further, we are exposed to higher collection risk as we continue to expand internationally, where the payment cycles are generally longer and the credit rating process may not be as robust as in the United States, and where our access to accounts receivable financing is more limited.
We are dependent on a variety of IT and telecommunications systems and the Internet, and any failure of these systems could adversely impact our business and operating results.
We depend on IT and telecommunications systems and the Internet for our operations. These systems support a variety of functions including inventory management, order processing, shipping, shipment tracking, and billing.
Failures or significant downtime of our IT or telecommunications systems has, in the past, and could, in the future, prevent us from taking customer orders, printing product pick-lists, shipping products, billing customers and handling call volume. Sales also may be affected if our reseller and retail customers are unable to access our pricing and product availability information. We also rely on the Internet, including EDI, XML, API, and web-based communication links and mobile platform applications, for a large portion of our orders and information exchanges with our OEM suppliers and reseller and retail customers. The Internet and individual websites have experienced a number of disruptions, slowdowns and security breakdowns, some of which were caused by organized attacks. If we were to experience a future security breakdown, disruption or breach that compromised sensitive information, it could harm our relationship with our OEM suppliers and reseller and retail customers. Disruption of our website or the Internet in general could impair our order processing or more generally prevent our OEM suppliers and reseller and retail customers from accessing information. Additionally, technologies used in or integrated into our operations, such as AI, automation and cloud-based services, may change how our existing business processes are conducted and could adversely affect our operations. A significant increase in our IT costs or a temporary or permanent loss of our IT systems could harm our relationships with our customers. The occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.
Issues related to the development and use of AI could give rise to legal and/or regulatory action, damage our reputation or otherwise materially harm our business.
We currently incorporate AI technology in certain offerings and in our business operations. AI systems are complex, rapidly changing, and may not operate as intended. Use of AI could lead to unintended consequences, including exposing us to additional risks related to cybersecurity, privacy and data security, such as the risk of increased vulnerability to cybersecurity threats and exposure, impacts to the stability of our operations, the inadvertent disclosure, misuse, or corruption of intellectual property, confidential, personal, or competitively sensitive information that could affect our reputation. AI algorithms and datasets may also contain errors or biases or produce unexpected or unintended outcomes.
Our efforts to expand AI capabilities within our products and internal functions involve risks, costs and operational challenges. Although we aim to design, develop, and deploy AI responsibly and to identify and mitigate associated ethical, legal and technical risks, we may not detect or resolve issues before they occur.
AI technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, we face significant competition in the market and from other companies regarding such technologies. Further, the legal and regulatory landscape for AI is rapidly evolving and uncertain, and requirements may differ across jurisdictions. Compliance with new or existing AI-related laws, regulations, or government guidance—including emerging frameworks such as those in the European Union—may impose significant costs, restrict our ability to integrate certain AI capabilities, or expose us to liability. Failures, deficiencies, or misuse of AI technologies could result in regulatory inquiries or actions, litigation or reputational damage, any of which could materially harm our business.
Because of the experience of our key personnel in the IT industry and their technological and industry expertise, if we were to lose any of our key personnel, it could inhibit our ability to operate and grow our business successfully.
We are dependent in large part on our ability to retain the services of our key senior executives and other technological and industry experts and personnel. Except for certain of our key executives, we generally do not have employment agreements with our co-workers. We also do not carry “key person” insurance coverage for any of our key executives. We compete for qualified senior management and technical personnel. The loss of, or inability to hire, key executives or qualified co-workers could inhibit our ability to operate and grow our business successfully.
We may experience theft of product from our warehouses, water damage to our properties and other casualty events which could harm our operating results.
From time to time, we have experienced incidents of theft at various facilities, water damages to our properties and other casualty events. These types of incidents may make it more difficult or expensive for us to obtain insurance coverage in the future. Also, the same or similar incidents may occur in the future for which we may not have sufficient insurance coverage or policy limits to be fully compensated for the loss, which may have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
We may become involved in intellectual property or other disputes that could cause us to incur substantial costs, divert the efforts of our management, and require us to pay substantial damages or require us to obtain a license, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
From time to time, we receive notifications alleging infringements of intellectual property rights allegedly held by others relating to our business or the products we sell or integrate for our OEM suppliers and others. Litigation with respect to patents or other intellectual property matters could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources and could have an adverse effect on our business. Although we generally have various levels of indemnification protection from our OEM suppliers and design and integration solutions customers, in many cases any indemnification to which we may be entitled is subject to maximum limits or other restrictions.
In addition, we have developed proprietary IT systems, mobile applications, and cloud-based technology and acquired technologies that play an important role in our business. If any infringement claim is successful against us and if indemnification is not available or sufficient, we may be required to pay substantial damages or we may need to seek and obtain a license of the other party’s intellectual property rights. We may be unable to obtain such a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
We are from time to time involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of business which has and may include claims with respect to antitrust, mergers and acquisitions and other matters. In the ordinary course of business, we also receive inquiries from and have discussions with government entities regarding the compliance of our contracting and sales practices with laws and regulations. We may not be successful in defending these or other claims. Regardless of the outcome, litigation could result in substantial expense and could divert the efforts of our management. Allegations made in the course of regulatory or legal proceedings may also harm our reputation, regardless of whether there is merit to such claims. Furthermore, because litigation and the outcome of regulatory proceedings are inherently unpredictable, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings, claims, demands or investigations. We do not expect that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, the resolution of certain of these matters could be material to our operating results for any particular period. For further information regarding our current litigation matters, refer to Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
We have significant operations globally and any disruption in the operations of our facilities could harm our business and operating results.
Our worldwide operations could be subject to natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, global pandemics and other business disruptions, which could seriously harm our revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. We have significant operations in our facilities located in the Americas, Europe and APJ. Certain of our facilities, including our corporate headquarters locations in Clearwater, Florida and Fremont, California, are located in geographic areas that heighten our exposure to hurricanes, tropical storms, earthquakes and other severe weather events. Any prolonged disruption in the operations of our facilities, whether due to technical difficulties, power failures, break-ins, destruction, damage to, or prolonged closure of, the facilities as a result of a natural disaster, fire, pandemic or any other reason, could harm our operating results. If there are related disruptions in local or international supply chains, we may experience supply shortages or delays in receiving products from our OEM suppliers or experience other delays in shipping to our customers. If we are unable to fulfill customer requirements in a timely manner, this could harm our operating results. We currently have a disaster recovery plan and carry property damage and business interruption insurance; however, they may not be sufficient to compensate for losses that may occur.
Risks Related to our Indebtedness
The terms of our debt arrangements impose restrictions on our ability to operate which in turn could negatively affect our ability to respond to business and market conditions and therefore could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
As of November 30, 2025, we had $4.6 billion in outstanding short and long-term borrowings under term loans, our Senior Notes (as defined in Note 10 - Borrowings to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8), lines of credit and our accounts receivable securitization program, excluding trade payables. The terms of one or more of the agreements under which this indebtedness was incurred may limit or restrict, among other things, our (or our subsidiaries', as applicable) ability to:
- incur additional indebtedness or liens;
- enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and
- merge, consolidate or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets.
We are also required to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests under certain of our debt facilities. Our inability to meet these ratios and tests could result in the acceleration of the repayment of the related debt, termination of the applicable facility, an increase in our effective cost of funds or the cross-default of other debt facilities and securitization arrangements. As a result, our ability to operate may be restricted and our ability to respond to business and market conditions may be limited, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations, which could adversely affect our business.
Our ability to make scheduled debt payments or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We cannot be certain that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We cannot be certain that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would be successful and permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. Some of our indebtedness restricts our ability to dispose of certain assets. As such, we may not be able to consummate those dispositions or use any resulting proceeds and, in addition, such proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.
If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default and, as a result:
- our lenders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;
- the lenders under our credit agreements could terminate their commitments to loan us money and, in the case of any secured credit arrangements, foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings;
- we could be forced to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional, potentially dilutive securities; and
- we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which is likely to result in delays in the payment of our indebtedness and in the exercise of enforcement remedies related to our indebtedness.
Despite our current level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition.
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. For example, as of November 30, 2025, we had access to $3.5 billion in unused commitments under the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 7 of this Report). If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify. Although the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement (as defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 7 of this Report) contains restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness by our subsidiaries, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial.
Changes in our credit rating may increase our interest expense or other costs of capital.
Certain of our financing instruments involve variable rate debt, thus exposing us to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, the interest rate payable on certain of our Senior Notes, our revolving and term loan credit agreement and certain other debt instruments is subject to adjustment from time to time if our credit rating is downgraded.
Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our indebtedness service obligations to increase significantly.
Interest rates in the United States and other countries where we operate have increased and may continue to increase in the future. As a result, interest rates on the obligations under certain of our credit facilities, our and our subsidiaries’ respective accounts receivable securitization programs and debt facilities, or other variable rate debt incurrences or offerings could be higher than current levels. If interest rates increase, debt service obligations and our interest expense will increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same. Our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease.
An increase in interest rates may increase our future borrowing costs and restrict our access to capital. Additionally, current market conditions, the global economy, and overall credit conditions could limit our availability of capital, which could cause increases in interest margin spreads over underlying indices, effectively increasing the cost of our borrowing. While some of our debt arrangements have contractually negotiated spreads, any changes to these spreads in connection with renegotiations of our credit facilities could adversely affect our results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Volatility in the IT industry could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
We have, in the past, experienced decreases in demand and we anticipate that the industries we operate in will be subject to a high degree of cyclicality in the future. Softening demand for our products and services caused by economic downturns and over-capacity may impact our revenue, as well as the salability of inventory and collection of reseller and retail customer accounts receivable. In addition, if we are not able to adequately adapt to the emergence of new technology or customer demand, such as cloud-based IT infrastructure and technology-as-a-service, our future operating results could be adversely affected.
We are subject to intense competition, both in the United States and internationally, and if we fail to compete successfully, we will be unable to gain or retain market share.
We operate in a highly competitive environment, both in the United States and internationally. This competition is based primarily on product and service availability, credit availability, price, effectiveness of information systems and e-commerce tools, speed of delivery, ability to tailor specific solutions to customer needs, quality and depth of product and service lines, pre-sales and post-sales technical support, flexibility and timely response to design changes, and technological capabilities, service and support. We compete with a variety of regional, national and international IT product and service providers and contract manufacturers and assemblers. In some instances, we also compete with our own customers and our own OEM suppliers.
Some of our competitors may have a broader range of services than us and may have more developed relationships with their existing customers. We may lose market share in the United States or in international markets, or may be forced in the future to reduce our prices in response to the actions of our competitors and thereby experience a reduction in our gross margins.
We may initiate other business activities, including the broadening of our supply chain capabilities, and may face competition from companies with more experience in those new areas. In addition, as we enter new areas of business, we may also encounter increased competition from current competitors or from new competitors, including some that may once have been our OEM suppliers or reseller and retail customers. Increased competition and negative reaction from our OEM suppliers or reseller and retail customers resulting from our expansion into new business areas could harm our business and operating results.
Our business may be adversely affected by some OEM suppliers’ strategies to consolidate business or increase their direct sales, which in turn could cause our business and operating results to suffer.
A determination by any of our primary OEMs to consolidate their business with other distributors or integration service providers could negatively affect our business and operating results. Consolidation of OEM suppliers has resulted in fewer sources for some of the products and services that we distribute. This consolidation has also resulted in larger OEM suppliers that have significant operating and financial resources. Other suppliers may reduce or eliminate promotional activities to reduce their expenses, which could, in turn, result in declined demand from our reseller or retailer customers and end-users.
Some OEM suppliers, including some of the leading OEM suppliers that we service, have been selling products and services directly to reseller and retail customers and end-users, thereby limiting our business opportunities. If large OEM suppliers increasingly sell directly to end-users or our resellers and retailers, or select a competitor rather than use us as the distributor of their products and services, our business and operating results will suffer.
The IT industry is subject to rapidly changing technologies and process developments, and we may not be able to adequately adjust our business to these changes, which in turn would harm our business and operating results.
Dynamic changes in the IT industry, including the consolidation of OEM suppliers and reductions in the number of authorized distributors used by OEM suppliers, have resulted in new and increased responsibilities for management personnel and have placed, and continue to place, a significant strain upon our management, operating and financial systems and other resources. We may be unable to successfully respond to and manage our business in light of industry developments and trends. As end-users migrate to AI-enabled offerings, cloud-based IT infrastructure and technology-as-a-service, sales of hardware products may be reduced, thereby negatively impacting our operating results. Also crucial to our success in managing our operations is our ability to achieve additional economies of scale. Our failure to achieve these additional economies of scale or to respond to changes in the IT industry could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Risks Related to the Macro-Economic and Regulatory Environment
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates and limitations on the convertibility of foreign currencies could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Approximately 48%, 47% and 47% of our revenues in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were generated outside the United States. Most of our international revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. We presently have currency exposure arising from both sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our operating margins. For example, if these foreign currencies appreciate against the U.S. dollar, it will be more expensive in terms of U.S. dollars to purchase inventory or pay expenses with foreign currencies. This could have a negative impact on us if revenue related to these purchases is transacted in U.S. dollars. In addition, currency devaluation can result in products that we purchase in U.S. dollars being relatively more expensive to procure than products manufactured locally. Furthermore, our local competitors in certain markets may have different purchasing models that provide them reduced foreign currency exposure compared to us. This may result in market pricing that we cannot meet without significantly lower profit on sales.
We hedge some of our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates through the use of currency forward or option contracts. Hedging foreign currencies can be risky. Certain of these hedge positions are undesignated hedges of balance sheet exposures, such as intercompany loans, and typically have maturities of less than one year. While we maintain policies to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, extreme fluctuations may result in our incurring losses in some countries.
There is also additional risk if the currency is not freely or actively traded. Some currencies, such as the Chinese Renminbi are subject to limitations on conversion into other currencies, which can limit our ability to hedge or to otherwise react to rapid foreign currency devaluations. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our business and operating results.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we hedge our foreign currency exposure in a manner that entirely offsets the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates.
As a general rule, we do not use financial instruments to hedge local currency denominated operating expenses in countries where a natural hedge exists. For example, in many countries, revenue in the local currency substantially offsets the local currency denominated operating expenses.
The translation of the financial statements of foreign operations into U.S. dollars is also impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may positively or negatively impact our results of operations. For example, in the past, several foreign currencies in which we transact business depreciated against the U.S. dollar, including the euro, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen, which adversely affected our results of operations in the applicable periods. In addition, the value of our equity investment in foreign countries may fluctuate based upon changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These fluctuations, which are recorded in a cumulative translation adjustment account, may result in losses in the event a foreign subsidiary is sold or closed at a time when the foreign currency is weaker than when we made investments in the country. The realization of any or all of these risks could have a significant adverse effect on our financial results.
We rely on independent shipping companies for delivery of products, and price increases or service interruptions from these carriers could adversely affect our business and operating results.
We rely almost entirely on arrangements with independent shipping companies, such as FedEx and UPS, for the delivery of our products from OEM suppliers and delivery of products to reseller and retail customers. Freight and shipping charges can have a significant impact on our gross margin. As a result, an increase in freight surcharges due to inflation, rising fuel cost or general price increases will have an immediate adverse effect on our margins, unless we are able to pass the increased charges to our reseller and retail customers or renegotiate terms with our OEM suppliers. In addition, in the past, carriers have experienced work stoppages due to labor negotiations with management. An increase in freight or shipping charges, the termination of our arrangements with one or more of these independent shipping companies, the failure or inability of one or more of these independent shipping companies to deliver products, or the unavailability of their shipping services, even temporarily, could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Because a significant portion of our IT systems support and software development activities are located in China, risks associated with economic, political and social events in China could negatively affect our business and operating results.
Our IT systems are an important part of our global operations. A significant portion of our IT systems support and software development activities are located in China. We rely on our China-based IT operations and personnel in ongoing software development, maintenance and customer-specific customization work. We also conduct general and administrative activities from our facilities in China. Our operations in China subject us to a number of risks relating to China’s economic and political systems and other matters, including:
- a government controlled foreign exchange rate and limitations on the convertibility of the Chinese Renminbi;
- extensive government regulation;
- changing governmental policies, including those relating to tax benefits available to foreign-owned businesses;
- the telecommunications infrastructure;
- a relatively uncertain legal system;
- uncertainties related to continued economic and social reform; and
- limited visibility or predictability, if any, with respect to the foregoing.
In addition, our operations in China may be impacted by geopolitical tensions or global policy changes regarding China, including between the United States and China. Geopolitical tensions, including with respect to trade disputes or barriers, tariffs, sanctions, import/export restrictions, investment restrictions, or other governmental actions could materially and negatively impact our China-based operations and our access to our China-based personnel. Further, China’s cybersecurity, data security, data and technology transfer, and similar laws and regulations may restrict or impose constraints on our China-based operations. Any deterioration of relations between China and the United States, or the perception that relations may deteriorate, could result in a range of adverse governmental actions, including:
- heightened regulatory scrutiny or retaliatory actions directed at U.S. companies doing business in China;
- limitations on our ability to access or use China-based suppliers, facilities, data, or personnel;
- disruptions to logistics, supply chains, financial transactions, or our ability to repatriate funds from China.
Any disruption to our China-based operations, or restrictions on, or loss of access to, our China-based personnel or systems, could negatively impact our ability to maintain, update, or repair our IT systems and infrastructure, including any customer-specific customization work. Further, any significant interruption in our China-based operations and service generally, whether resulting from the risks described above or otherwise, could result in delays in our inventory purchasing, errors in order fulfillment, reduced levels of customer service, and other disruptions in operations, any of which could cause our business and operating results to suffer, including materially.
Our IT systems are an important part of our global operations. Any significant interruption in service, whether resulting from any of the above uncertainties, natural disasters or otherwise, could result in delays in our inventory purchasing, errors in order fulfillment, reduced levels of customer service and other disruptions in operations, any of which could cause our business and operating results to suffer.
We may have higher than anticipated tax liabilities.
We conduct business globally and file income tax returns in various tax jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by several factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:
- changes in income before taxes in various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;
- changing tax laws, regulations, and/or interpretations of such tax laws in multiple jurisdictions;
- effect of tax rate on accounting for acquisitions and dispositions;
- issues arising from tax audit or examinations and any related interest or penalties; and
- uncertainty in obtaining tax holiday extensions or expiration or loss of tax holidays in various jurisdictions.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has published a proposal to establish a new global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. While the U.S. has not yet adopted the Pillar Two framework into law, several countries in which we operate have enacted tax legislation based on the Pillar Two framework with certain components of the minimum tax rules effective beginning in 2024 (fiscal year 2025 for us) and further rules becoming effective beginning in 2025 (fiscal year 2026 for us). Due to these new rules, our income tax expense could be unfavorably impacted as the legislation becomes effective in countries in which we conduct business. We will continue to monitor U.S. and global legislative action related to Pillar Two for potential impacts.
Certain countries are evaluating their tax policies and regulations, which could affect international business and may have an adverse effect on our overall tax rate, along with increasing the complexity, burden and cost of tax compliance. Additional changes in the U.S. tax regime or in how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings, including changes in how existing tax laws are interpreted or enforced, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We report our results of operations based on our determination of the amount of taxes owed in various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires estimation, judgment and calculations where the ultimate tax determination may not be certain. Our determination of tax liability is always subject to review or examination by tax authorities in various tax jurisdictions. Any adverse outcome of such review or examination could have a negative impact on our operating results and financial condition. The results from various tax examinations and audits may differ from the liabilities recorded in our financial statements and could adversely affect our financial results and cash flows.
Cyberattacks or the improper disclosure or control of confidential information could result in liability and harm our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.
Our business is heavily dependent upon information technology networks and systems, including those of our vendors, suppliers and partners. Internal or external attacks on those networks and systems could disrupt our normal operations centers and impede our ability to provide critical products and services to our customers, subjecting us to liability under our contracts and damaging our reputation. Additionally, such attacks could compromise our, or our customers' or vendors', intellectual property or confidential information or result in fraud or other financial loss. For instance, during each of July 2021, July 2022, and September 2023, a threat actor accessed parts of our networks and systems, and evidence suggests that the same individual or related groups were responsible for each incident. Additionally, in November 2024, we were notified by a partner of one of our wholly owned subsidiaries that a different threat actor gained unauthorized access to the partner’s networks and systems which contained data and information of a few of our subsidiary’s customers. While we do not believe at this time that these cyber-attacks had a material impact on our systems or operations, should new or different information come to light establishing that the intrusions are broader than now known or if additional attacks occur, it could have a broader impact on our systems and operations, and we could incur significant costs in responding to such intrusions.
In response to these incidents, we have engaged in various remedial and preventative actions to remove any threat actors and prevent further unauthorized access to our network, analyzed the information that the threat actors accessed, enhanced our data security and governance program, added additional protective security layers and cooperated with law enforcement authorities.
Our business also involves the use, storage and transmission of information about our co-workers, and customers. If any person, including any of our co-workers, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with respect to such data or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject to monetary damages, fines or other regulatory or criminal consequences.
We have security controls for our systems and other security practices in place to protect the security of, and prevent unauthorized access to, our systems and personal and proprietary information, such as firewalls and anti-virus software, and we also provide information to our co-workers and business partners about the need to deploy security measures and the impact of doing so; however, notwithstanding our efforts to date, there are numerous sophisticated threat actors that are actively engaging in cyber-attacks that include our systems and there can be no assurance that such security measures will prevent additional improper access to our networks and systems, or access to or disclosure of, personally identifiable or proprietary information which could harm our business.
We could also face legal, regulatory, reputational and financial risks if we fail to protect customer and internal data from security breaches or cyberattacks.
Furthermore, data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions and countries in which we provide services. The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) in Europe, the California Consumer Privacy Act and other similar laws have resulted, and will continue to result, in increased compliance costs. Our failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response to these and other changing regulatory requirements in this area could result in legal liability or impairment to our reputation in the marketplace, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Global health and economic, political and social conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase our costs and negatively affect our stock price.
Worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain due to the persistence of inflation, elevated interest rates, market volatility and adverse affects on product demand connected to geopolitical developments including tariff uncertainty, and other disruptions to global and regional economies and markets. External factors, such as potential terrorist attacks, acts of war, geopolitical and social turmoil or epidemics and other similar outbreaks in many parts of the world, could prevent or hinder our ability to do business, increase our costs and negatively affect our stock price. More generally, these geopolitical, social and economic conditions could result in increased volatility in the United States and worldwide financial markets and economies. For example, increased instability may enhance volatility in currency exchange rates, cause our customers or potential customers to delay or reduce spending on our products or services, and limit our suppliers’ access to credit. It could also adversely impact our ability to obtain adequate insurance at reasonable rates and may require us to incur increased costs for security measures for our domestic and international operations. We are predominantly uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorism, acts of war and similar events. These uncertainties make it difficult for us and our suppliers and customers to accurately plan future business activities.
The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We could be negatively impacted by the widespread outbreak of an illness, any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis that results in economic and trade disruptions, including the disruption of global supply chains. The extent of the impact of any such public health crisis on our future operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, could depend on future developments, including the effect on our customers and demand for our products and services; our ability to sell and provide our products and services, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working remotely; the ability of our customers to pay for our solutions; any closures of our or our customers’ or partners’ offices and facilities; and the impact of governmental actions or mandates imposed in response to any such public health crisis, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, our results of operations, our access to sources of liquidity, the carrying value of our goodwill and intangible assets, our financial condition and our stock price.
Part of our business is conducted outside of the United States, exposing us to additional risks that may not exist in the United States, which in turn could cause our business and operating results to suffer.
We have significant international operations and presence which subjects us to risks, including:
- political or economic instability;
- extensive governmental regulation;
- changes in import/export duties;
- fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates;
- trade restrictions, including tariff uncertainty;
- compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), U.K. bribery laws and similar laws;
- difficulties and costs of staffing and managing operations in certain foreign countries;
- work stoppages or other changes in labor conditions;
- minimum wage increases;
- difficulties in collecting accounts receivable on a timely basis or at all;
- taxes; and
- seasonal reductions in business activity in some parts of the world.
We may continue to expand internationally to respond to competitive pressure and customer and market requirements. Establishing operations in any foreign country or region presents risks such as those described above as well as risks specific to the particular country or region. For example, periodically, we receive reports directly from co-workers, vendors and customers related to, or otherwise become aware of, potential non-compliance with our Code of Conduct and various U.S. or foreign laws, such as the FCPA, U.K. bribery laws or local anti-corruption laws. We investigate these reports and matters, report the activity to governmental authorities as required and also cooperate with investigations by U.S. and foreign law enforcement authorities. While we do not believe any of the findings of these investigations have been material to the Company to date, we take these matters seriously and activities of our employees, vendors and customers in these regions could subject us to liability, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of their activities. In addition, until a payment history is established over time with customers in a new geography or region, the likelihood of collecting accounts receivable generated by such operations could be less than our expectations. As a result, there is a greater risk that reserves set with respect to the collection of such accounts receivable may be inadequate. Furthermore, if our international expansion efforts in any foreign country are unsuccessful, we may decide to cease operations, which would likely cause us to incur additional expense and loss.
In addition, changes in policies or laws of the United States or foreign governments resulting in, among other things, higher taxation, currency conversion limitations, restrictions on fund transfers or the expropriation of private enterprises, could reduce the anticipated benefits of our international expansion. Any actions by countries in which we conduct business to reverse policies that encourage foreign trade or investment could adversely affect our business. If we fail to realize the anticipated growth of our future international operations, our business and operating results could suffer.
Increasing attention to corporate citizenship matters may have a negative impact on our business, impose additional costs on us, and expose us to additional risks.
Companies are facing increasing attention, both positive and negative, from investors, customers, partners, consumers and other stakeholders relating to corporate citizenship matters, including environmental stewardship, social responsibility, inclusion, human rights and workplace conduct. In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to corporate citizenship matters. Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable corporate citizenship ratings may lead to negative investor sentiment toward the Company, which could have a negative impact on our stock price and our access to and costs of capital.
We have established corporate social responsibility programs aligned with sound principles relating to sustainability, fostering connections and leading with integrity. These programs reflect our current initiatives and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them. Our ability to successfully execute these initiatives and accurately report our progress presents numerous operational, financial, legal, reputational and other risks, many of which are outside our control, and all of which could have a material negative impact on our business. Additionally, the implementation of these initiatives imposes additional costs on us. If our corporate citizenship initiatives fail to satisfy investors, customers, partners and our other stakeholders, our reputation, our ability to sell products and services to customers, our ability to attract or retain co-workers, and our attractiveness as an investment, business partner or acquirer could be negatively impacted. Similarly, our failure or perceived failure to pursue or fulfill our goals, targets and objectives or to satisfy various reporting standards within the timelines we announce, or at all, could also have similar negative impacts and expose us to government enforcement actions and private litigation.
If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected, which in turn could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires our management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. We completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for fiscal year 2025, and we have an ongoing program to perform the system and process evaluation and testing necessary to continue to comply with these requirements. However, internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations, including human error, the possibility that controls could be circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions, and fraud. Because of the inherent limitations, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not always be prevented or timely detected. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and to devote management resources to Section 404 compliance. In the event that our management or independent registered public accounting firm determines that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, investor perceptions and our reputation may be adversely affected, and the market price of our stock could decline.
Changes to financial accounting standards may affect our results of operations and cause us to change our business practices.
We prepare our financial statements to conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in those policies can have a significant effect on our reported results and may affect our reporting of transactions completed before a change is announced. Changes to those rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.
Cybersecurity
As filed, 5,181 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Risk Management and Strategy
Our cybersecurity program is designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical assets and information, using a proactive and risk-based approach. We utilize the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") Cybersecurity Framework as well as other globally recognized standards. The NIST framework is structured around six Core Functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Recover and Respond) and is a comprehensive approach to information and cybersecurity risk management. Our program includes policies, practices, procedures and controls designed to manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, including training requirements, threat monitoring and detection, threat containment and risk assessments.
Our process for identifying and assessing material risks from cybersecurity threats operates alongside our company’s broader overall risk assessment process. We refine our cybersecurity program by staying informed on security threats, conducting tabletop exercises to proactively identify areas for improvements, and leveraging third-party cybersecurity firms and investing in enhancements to our preventive and defensive capabilities. We utilize a third-party remediation team on retainer for assistance in investigating and addressing cybersecurity incidents or threats. We maintain procedures for screening and evaluating third-party providers prior to granting them access to our information systems. Depending on the nature of the product or service to be provided, we screen any third-parties that could present a cybersecurity risk through a cyber risk assessment, and we review third-party suppliers post-engagement to identify changes in their security risk profile, including the occurrence of cybersecurity events affecting such suppliers. Contractual and statutory provisions require third-party suppliers to inform us of cyber incidents, in most cases. Additionally, we maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage that we believe is appropriate for the size and complexity of our business to cover certain costs related to cybersecurity incidents.
While we focus on prevention and detection, we also have incident response and recovery plans in place designed to analyze, contain, remediate and communicate cybersecurity matters to help ensure a timely and robust response to actual or attempted incidents. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, our incident response process involves assessing incident severity, conducting root cause analysis, creating and implementing plans to address the incident, mobilizing appropriate resources and identifying potential remedial measures and other appropriate next steps. We also have on retainer a third-party consultant to assist us in our incident response and remediation.
As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected the Company, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. However, we cannot provide assurance that these threats will not result in such an impact in the future. For more information regarding risks relating to information technology and cybersecurity, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
Governance
We have a team of information security professionals with expertise in the fields of cybersecurity and intelligence who lead our enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, risk management, cyber defense, software security, security monitoring and other related functions. This team is overseen by a Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), who reports to our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) and works with our Chief Legal Officer and other members of management.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management process, including our information security program, compliance and risk management and cybersecurity risks. The CISO and CIO regularly provides reporting on cybersecurity matters to senior management and reports to the Board of Directors on at least a semi-annual basis and to the Technology Committee of the Board of Directors on at least a quarterly basis. This reporting includes updates on our information security strategy, key cyber risks and threats, efforts at protecting the Company from such risks and threats, and assessments of our cybersecurity program with regard to emerging trends. Depending on the magnitude of a cybersecurity incident, certain matters are required to be reported promptly to the Board of Directors, as appropriate, in accordance with our security incident response plan.
The Board of Directors' Technology Committee has an oversight role regarding technology-based risks and issues, including in relation to cybersecurity and other developing technologies, like generative AI. With respect to cybersecurity, the committee's role includes assisting the Board of Directors in evaluating management’s role in designing, implementing and assessing our IT systems, reviewing our cyber risks and strategies as well as any significant incidents, and providing guidance regarding the Company’s cybersecurity compliance obligations.
Properties
As filed, 888 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Our principal executive offices are located in Fremont, California and Clearwater, Florida. We own our Fremont property, while the Clearwater location is currently leased. We operate distribution, integration, contact center and administrative facilities in different countries.
We occupy 168 facilities covering approximately 15.2 million square feet, including warehouse, logistics and administrative facilities. We own approximately 2.7 million square feet of property and lease the remainder. Our facilities are located in the following principal markets: the Americas – 62, Europe – 63 and APJ – 43.
We have sublet unused portions of some of our facilities. We believe our facilities are well maintained and adequate for current and near future operating needs. Upon the expiration or termination of any of our leased facilities, we believe we could obtain comparable office space.
Legal proceedings
As filed, 2,294 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
We are from time to time involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, our financial position or the cash flows of our business.
In addition, we have been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where we were a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. These preference actions are filed by the bankruptcy trustee on behalf of the bankrupt estate and generally seek to have payments made by the debtor within 90 days prior to the bankruptcy returned to the bankruptcy estate for allocation among all of the bankruptcy estate’s creditors. We are not currently involved in any material preference proceedings.
In 2013, the French Autorité de la Concurrence (“Competition Authority”) began an investigation into the French market for certain products of Apple, Inc., (“Apple”) for which we are a distributor. In March 2020, the Competition Authority imposed fines on the Company, on another distributor, and on Apple, finding that the Company entered into an anticompetitive agreement with Apple regarding volume allocations of Apple products. The initial fine imposed on the Company was €76.1 million. The Company appealed its determination to the French courts, seeking to set aside or reduce the fine.
On October 6, 2022, the appeals court issued a ruling that reduced the fine imposed on us from €76.1 million to €24.9 million. As a result of the appeals court ruling, the Company paid €24.9 million through fiscal year 2022. We continue to contest the arguments of the Competition Authority and have further appealed this matter. A civil lawsuit related to this matter, alleging anticompetitive actions in association with the established distribution networks for Apple, the Company and another distributor was filed by eBizcuss. On November 25, 2024, the Paris Commercial Court ruled in favor of the Company and the other defendants and dismissed the claims in the eBizcuss civil lawsuit. An appeal to the ruling has since been made by eBizcuss, and while we continue to evaluate this matter, based on the favorable ruling from the Paris Commercial Court, we believe the likelihood of a material loss related to the eBizcuss lawsuit is remote.
Management's discussion and analysis
As filed, 54,620 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
For an understanding of TD SYNNEX and the significant factors that influenced our performance during the past three fiscal years, the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the description of the business appearing in Item 1 of this Report and Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included elsewhere in this Report. Amounts in certain tables appearing in this Report may not add or compute due to rounding.
This section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K generally discusses fiscal years 2025 and 2024 items and year-to-year comparisons between fiscal years 2025 and 2024. Discussions of fiscal year 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between fiscal years 2024 and 2023 that are not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K can be found in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024 filed with the SEC on January 24, 2025.
In addition to historical information, the MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those matters discussed under the heading “Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward‑looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this document.
Overview
We are a Fortune 100 corporation and a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the information technology ("IT") ecosystem. We serve a critical role, bringing products from the world's leading and emerging technology vendors to market, and helping our customers create solutions best suited to maximize business outcomes for their end-user customers.
Economic and Industry Trends
We are highly dependent on the end-market demand for IT 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 products and software by OEM suppliers, replacement cycles for existing IT products, trends toward cloud computing, overall economic growth and general business activity. A difficult and challenging economic environment due to the continued persistence of inflation, elevated interest rates, market volatility and adverse effects on product demand connected to geopolitical developments including tariff uncertainty, or other factors may also lead to decline in the IT industry or increased price-based competition. Our systems design and integration solutions business is highly dependent on the demand for cloud infrastructure, and the number of key customers and suppliers in the market. Our business includes operations in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific and Japan ("APJ"), so we are affected by demand for our products in those regions, as well as the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar.
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.
On July 1, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Apptium Technologies, LLC and its subsidiaries ("Apptium"), a software development company and provider of a cloud commerce platform that represents a critical investment in our technology solutions orchestration strategy. We acquired all of the outstanding shares of Apptium for a purchase price of approximately $105.1 million.
On September 1, 2021, SYNNEX Corporation acquired Tech Data Corporation, a Florida corporation (“Tech Data”) through a series of mergers, which resulted in Tech Data becoming an indirect subsidiary of TD SYNNEX Corporation (collectively, the "Merger").

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 fiscal year ended November 30, 2025 in the billing currency using the comparable prior period currency conversion rate. Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates.
- Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, which excludes the amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expense. TD SYNNEX also uses adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross profit, which is a useful metric in considering the portion of gross profit retained after selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, 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.
- Non-GAAP net income, which is net income, adjusted to exclude acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and income taxes related to the aforementioned items.
- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share impact of acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and income taxes related to the aforementioned items.
Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, which are expensed as incurred, primarily represent professional services costs for legal, banking, consulting and advisory services, severance and other personnel related costs, share-based compensation expense and debt extinguishment fees that are incurred in connection with acquisition, integration, restructuring and divestiture activities. From time to time, this category may also include transaction-related gains/losses on divestitures/spin-off of businesses, costs related to long-lived assets including impairment charges and accelerated depreciation and amortization expense due to changes in asset useful lives, as well as various other costs associated with the acquisition or divestiture.
Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of finite-lived intangible assets which consist primarily of customer relationships and vendor lists. Finite-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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the sale of our products. 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 our 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.
Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of equity awards to employees and non-employee members of our Board of Directors based on the estimated fair value of those awards. Although share-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees, the fair value of the share-based awards may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related share-based awards and the expense can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Given the variety and timing of awards and the subjective assumptions that are necessary when calculating share-based compensation expense, we believe this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results from period to period.
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. 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.

Fiscal Year 2025 versus 2024
- Consolidated - Increased by $4.1 billion (in constant currency increased by $3.6 billion) primarily driven by growth in both our Advanced Solutions and Endpoint Solutions portfolios, partially offset by the presentation of additional revenue on a net basis due to the mix of products sold, which negatively impacted our revenue growth by approximately $2.8 billion, or 5%. The impact of changes in foreign currencies is primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
- Americas - Increased by $1.4 billion (in constant currency increased by $1.5 billion) primarily driven by growth in both our Advanced Solutions and Endpoint Solutions portfolios in the region, partially offset by the presentation of additional revenue on a net basis due to the mix of products sold, which negatively impacted our revenue growth by approximately $1.6 billion, or 5%. The impact of changes in foreign currencies is primarily due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar.
- Europe - Increased by $2.1 billion (in constant currency increased by $1.4 billion) primarily driven by growth in both our Advanced Solutions and Endpoint Solutions portfolios in the region, partially offset by the presentation of additional revenue on a net basis due to the mix of products sold, which negatively impacted our revenue growth by approximately $720 million, or 4%. The impact of changes in foreign currencies is primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
- APJ - Increased by $610.4 million (in constant currency increased by $623.4 million) primarily driven by growth in both our Endpoint Solutions and Advanced Solutions portfolios in the region, partially offset by the presentation of additional revenue on a net basis due to the mix of products sold, which negatively impacted our revenue by approximately $460 million, or 11%. The impact of changes in foreign currencies is primarily due to the weakening of the Indian rupee against the U.S. Dollar.
Gross Profit

| Gross profit | $4,368,982 | $3,981,306 | 9.7% |
| Gross margin | 6.99% | 6.81% |
Our gross margin is affected by a variety of factors, including competition, selling prices, mix of products, the percentage of revenue that is presented on a net basis, product costs along with rebate and discount programs from our suppliers, reserves or settlement adjustments, freight costs, inventory losses and fluctuations in revenue.
Fiscal Year 2025 versus 2024
- Our gross profit increased primarily due to the increase in revenue related to growth in both our Advanced Solutions and Endpoint Solutions portfolios.
- Our gross margin increased primarily due to the impact of the presentation of additional revenues on a net basis due to the mix of products sold, which positively impacted our gross margin by approximately 30 basis points, as well as gross margin expansion in our Endpoint Solutions portfolio, partially offset by higher strategic technologies margins during the prior fiscal year.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses

(1) Excludes acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, which are presented separately on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs such as salaries, commissions, bonuses, share-based compensation and temporary personnel costs. SG&A expenses also include amortization of our intangible assets, cost of warehouses, delivery centers and other non-integration facilities, depreciation on certain of our capital equipment, IT expenses, credit costs including bad debt expense, legal and professional fees, travel and entertainment, and non-income taxes.
Fiscal Year 2025 versus 2024
- SG&A expenses and adjusted SG&A expenses increased primarily due to higher personnel costs.
- SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit and adjusted SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit were relatively consistent, as the current period increase in SG&A expenses, primarily due to higher personnel costs, correlated with the increase in gross profit.
Acquisition, Integration and Restructuring Costs
Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs during fiscal year 2024 were primarily comprised of costs related to the Merger. Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs during fiscal year 2025 included $3.7 million of costs related to the acquisition of Apptium. For further discussion of the Apptium acquisition, see Note 3 - Acquisition, Integration and Restructuring Costs to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other acquisition, integration and restructuring costs were $3.5 million and $6.9 million for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Merger
We completed the acquisition, integration and restructuring activities related to the Merger during the first half of fiscal year 2024. There were no related expenses recognized during fiscal year 2025. We previously incurred acquisition, integration and restructuring costs related to the completion of the Merger, including professional services costs, personnel and other costs, and long-lived assets charges and termination fees. Professional services costs are primarily comprised of IT and other consulting services, as well as legal expenses. Personnel and other costs are primarily comprised of costs related to retention and other bonuses, severance and duplicative labor costs. Long-lived asset charges and termination fees during fiscal year 2024 include accelerated depreciation and amortization expense of $5.5 million due to changes in asset useful lives in conjunction with the consolidation of certain IT systems, along with $17.0 million for termination fees related to certain IT systems.
In July 2023, we offered a voluntary severance program ("VSP") to certain co-workers in the United States as part of our cost optimization efforts related to the Merger. We incurred $10.1 million of costs in connection with the VSP during fiscal year 2024, including $8.0 million of severance costs and $2.1 million of duplicative labor costs.
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024, acquisition and integration expenses related to the Merger were composed of the following:

| Percentage of revenue | 0.57% | 0.55% |
Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net, consist primarily of interest expense on our Senior Notes, our lines of credit, our term loans and our accounts receivable securitization facility, and fees associated with the sale of accounts receivable, partially offset by income earned on our cash investments.
Fiscal Year 2025 versus 2024
Interest expense and finance charges net, increased primarily driven by an increase in short-term borrowings to fund working capital requirements along with higher average interest rates on our Senior Notes, partially offset by decreased costs associated with the sale of accounts receivable due to lower related discount fees, which totaled $62.7 million and $67.8 million during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

| Percentage of income before income taxes | 21.72% | 20.43% |
Income taxes consist of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and foreign jurisdictions.
Fiscal Year 2025 versus 2024
Income tax expense increased primarily due to higher income during the period and a higher effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was higher when compared to the prior fiscal year primarily due to beneficial discrete impacts in the prior year, the change in valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions, and the relative mix of earnings and losses within the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate, partially offset by the benefit of higher foreign-derived intangible income in the current year.

| Cash conversion cycle ("CCC") | (j) = (c)+(f)-(i) | 16 | 18 |
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, sales of accounts receivable, our securitization program, our revolver programs and net trade credit from vendors 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 volumes decrease, our net investment in working capital dollars typically decreases, which generally results in increases in cash flows generated from operating activities. We calculate CCC as days of the last fiscal quarter’s revenue outstanding in accounts receivable plus days of supply on hand in inventory, less days of the last fiscal quarter’s cost of revenue outstanding in accounts payable. Our CCC was 16 days at the end of fiscal year 2025, and 18 days at the end of fiscal year 2024, respectively. Our CCC decreased, as compared to fiscal year 2024, primarily due to an increase in DPO as our accounts payable increased due to timing of cash payments, partially offset by an increase in DIO as our inventory balances increased to support growth in our business which contributed to the corresponding increase in our accounts payable.
To increase our market share and better serve our customers, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. 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.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion during fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the year-over-year change in other accrued liabilities, a larger increase in accounts payable related to the increase in inventory purchases and associated timing of cash payments, and an increase in net income, partially offset by a larger increase in accounts receivable, related to the increase in sales volumes.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $221.2 million and $193.8 million during fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to an increase in cash paid for the acquisition of businesses in the current year, which was $83.7 million primarily due to the acquisition of Apptium, compared to $43.7 million in the prior year, along with the prior year impact of proceeds from the sale of a building of $42.9 million. These impacts were partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures of $32.8 million and a decrease in payments to settle net investment hedges of $14.5 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $32.9 million and $953.1 million during fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities as compared to fiscal year 2024 is primarily due to an increase in net borrowings of $892.4 million.
We believe our current cash balances, cash flows from operations and credit availability are sufficient to support our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.
Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.4 billion and $1.1 billion as of November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents held by international subsidiaries are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the United States. Repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws. If in the future we repatriate foreign 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, including available capacity under our borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to enable the repayment of $700.0 million of our Senior Notes due in August 2026 and 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.
Credit Facilities and Borrowings
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, we and our subsidiaries that are party to the U.S. AR Arrangement can borrow up to a maximum of $1.5 billion based upon eligible trade accounts receivable. The U.S. AR Arrangement, as amended, has a maturity date of January 2028. We also have an amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of April 16, 2024 (as amended, the "TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement"), 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 "TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility") may, at our request but subject to the lenders' discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $500.0 million. Our borrowings on these facilities vary within the period primarily based on changes in our working capital. There were no amounts outstanding under the U.S. AR Arrangement or the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility at November 30, 2025 or 2024. As amended, the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility will mature on April 16, 2029, subject, in the lender's discretion, to two one-year extensions upon our prior notice to the lenders.
The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement also included a $1.5 billion term loan facility (the "TD SYNNEX Term Loan") that had a maturity date of September 2026. There was $581.3 million outstanding on the TD SYNNEX Term Loan as of November 30, 2024. We repaid the remaining principal of the TD SYNNEX Term Loan in full in October 2025, and there was no associated balance outstanding as of November 30, 2025.
On April 19, 2024, we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "2024 Term Loan Credit Agreement") which provides for a senior unsecured term loan in the amount of $750.0 million (the "2024 Term Loan"). The proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan were used to repay a portion of the TD SYNNEX Term Loan. The 2024 Term Loan will mature on September 1, 2027.
We have various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions, short-term loans, term loans, credit facilities and book overdraft facilities, totaling approximately $676.6 million in borrowing capacity as of November 30, 2025. Our borrowings on these facilities vary within the period primarily based on changes in our working capital. There was $319.3 million outstanding on these facilities at November 30, 2025, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.72%, and there was $171.1 million outstanding at November 30, 2024, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.91%.
Historically, we have renewed our accounts receivable securitization program and our parent company credit facilities 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.
We had total outstanding borrowings of approximately $4.6 billion and $3.9 billion as of November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our outstanding borrowings include Senior Notes of $3.6 billion and $2.4 billion at November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and term loans described above as the TD SYNNEX Term Loan and 2024 Term Loan of approximately $0.8 billion and $1.3 billion at November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For additional information on our borrowings, see Note 10 - Borrowings to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Report.
Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreements
We have uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreements under which trade accounts receivable owed by certain customers may be acquired, without recourse, by certain 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. In addition, certain of these programs also require that we continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. At November 30, 2025 and 2024, we had a total of $1.8 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, of trade accounts receivable sold to and held by financial institutions under these programs. Discount fees for these programs in the years ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 totaled $62.7 million and $67.8 million, respectively.
Supplier Finance Programs
We have certain arrangements with third-party financial institutions ("Supplier Finance Programs"), which facilitate the participating vendors’ ability to sell their accounts receivable from us to the third-party financial institutions, at the sole discretion of these vendors. We are not party to the agreements between the vendor and the third-party financial institution. As part of these arrangements, we generally receive more favorable payment terms from our vendors. Our rights and obligations to our vendors, including amounts due, are generally not impacted by Supplier Finance Programs. However, we agree to make all payments to the third-party financial institutions, and our right to offset balances due from vendors against payment obligations is restricted by the agreements for those payment obligations that have been sold by the respective vendors. As of November 30, 2025 and 2024, we had $3.7 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, in obligations outstanding under these programs included in "Accounts payable" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Share Repurchase Program
In January 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a three-year $1.0 billion share repurchase program. In March 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a new $2.0 billion share repurchase program (the “March 2024 share repurchase program”), supplementing the amount remaining under the existing program, pursuant to which we may repurchase our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The March 2024 share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. We repurchased 4.4 million shares of common stock for $596.1 million and 5.5 million shares of common stock for $611.9 million in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of November 30, 2025, we had $1.2 billion available for future repurchases of our common stock. For additional information on the March 2024 share repurchase program, see Note 5 - Stockholders' Equity to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Report.
Covenant Compliance
Our credit facilities have a number of covenants and restrictions that require us to maintain specified financial ratios. They also limit our (or our subsidiaries', as applicable) ability to incur additional debt or liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of our business, and merge or consolidate. As of November 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all material financial covenants for the above arrangements.
Contractual 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 material repurchases through November 30, 2025 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussions and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and a variety of other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments, estimates and/or assumptions used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of various IT products.
We recognize 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. We account 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 our 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 us are delivered via shipment from our 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 we 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. We generally invoice 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. In relation to product support, supply chain management and other services that we perform, revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed.
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. 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.
We recognize revenue on a net basis on certain contracts, where our 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 we do 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, cloud computing and software as a service arrangements, certain fulfillment contracts, extended warranty contracts and certain of our systems design and integration solutions arrangements which operate under a customer-owned procurement model.
We consider 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.
Goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets
The values assigned to intangible assets include estimates and judgment regarding expectations for the length of customer relationships acquired in a business combination. Included within intangible assets is an indefinite lived trade name intangible asset. Our indefinite lived trade name intangible asset is considered a single unit of accounting and is tested for impairment at the consolidated level annually as of September 1, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. No impairment of our indefinite lived trade name intangible asset has been identified for any of the periods presented. Other purchased intangible assets are amortized over the useful lives based on estimates of the use of the economic benefit of the asset or on the straight-line amortization method.
We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination and test for impairment annually as of September 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as increases in product cost, labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; and other relevant entity-specific events and information. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period.
If the reporting unit does not pass or we choose to bypass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. The assumptions used in the market approach are based on the value of a business through an analysis of sales and other multiples of guideline companies and recent sales or offerings of a comparable entity. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach are based on historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs, working capital requirements, future economic conditions, discount rates, and other relevant factors. The assumptions used in the market and discounted cash flow approaches include inherent uncertainty and actual results could differ from these estimates. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value and the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. No goodwill impairment has been identified for any of the years presented.
We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of September 1, 2025 as a qualitative assessment, and determined that for all reporting units, it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value.
We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets, such as finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment and certain other assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value.
Income taxes
The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the difference is expected to reverse. Tax on global low-taxed intangible income is accounted for as a current expense in the period in which the income is included in a tax return using the “period cost” method. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized.
We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if that tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes.

Market risk
As filed, 4,203 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risk in the ordinary course of business. 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 Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Columbian peso, Costa Rican colón, Czech koruna, Danish krone, Euro, Hong Kong dollar, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Japanese yen, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, Romanian leu, Singapore dollar, South Korean won, Swedish krona, Swiss franc, Turkish lira and Vietnamese dong. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
In order to provide an assessment of our foreign currency exchange rate risk, we performed an analysis using a value-at-risk (“VaR”) model. The VaR model uses a Monte Carlo simulation to generate 1,000 random market price paths. The VaR model determines the potential impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates assuming a one-day holding period, normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level. The model is not intended to represent actual losses but is used as a risk estimation and management tool. Firm commitments, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were excluded from the model. The estimated maximum potential one-day loss in fair value, calculated using the VaR model, would be approximately $3.0 million and $5.4 million at November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We believe that the hypothetical loss in fair value of our foreign exchange derivatives would be offset by the gains in the value of the underlying transactions being hedged. Actual future gains and losses associated with our derivative positions may differ materially from the analyses performed as of November 30, 2025, due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting the changes in foreign currency exchange rates and our actual exposures and positions.
Interest Rate Risk
We are also exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our debt used to provide liquidity and to finance working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to minimize overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objective, we use a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors.
Certain of our borrowing facilities and our securitization arrangement are variable-rate obligations and expose us to interest rate risks. As of November 30, 2025, we had $750.0 million of outstanding term loan debt subject to variable interest rates and our subsidiaries had approximately $319.3 million in the aggregate outstanding under debt facilities subject to variable interest rates. The outstanding amount of our borrowings under these facilities may fluctuate in response to changes in our working capital and other liquidity requirements. To the extent that there are changes in interest rates, the interest expense on our variable rate debt may fluctuate. Additionally, discount fees paid to sell accounts receivable under our accounts receivable purchase agreements are impacted by changes in interest rates and expose us to interest rate risks.
A one percentage point (100 basis point) variation in average interest rates would have an impact on annual interest expense of $10.1 million based on the Company's outstanding variable rate debt at November 30, 2025.
Equity Price Risk
The equity price risk associated with our marketable equity securities as of November 30, 2025 and 2024 is not material in relation to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Marketable equity securities include shares of common stock and are recorded at fair market value based on quoted market prices. Gains and losses on marketable equity securities are included in earnings.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 2,590 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
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 Report, 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.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes 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 quarter of fiscal 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
