2 2 CFO Commentary As reflected in our earnings release, there are a number of items that impact the comparability of our results with those in the trailing quarter and prior quarter of last year. The discussion of our results may exclude these items to give you a better sense of our operating results. As always, the operating information we provide to you should be used as a complement to GAAP numbers. For a complete reconciliation between our GAAP and non-GAAP results, please refer to our earnings release and the earnings reconciliation found at the end of this document. The following reported and non-GAAP information included in this CFO commentary is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the company’s 2021 Annual Report on form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


 
3 3 Fourth-Quarter Summary Arrow Electronics experienced strong market demand for electronic components and associated design, engineering and supply chain services in the fourth quarter, leading to record quarterly sales that approached the high end of the prior expectation. Arrow is helping customers navigate shortages and supply chain challenges so they can maintain production, bring new electronic products to market, and securely manage their applications and data. By helping to mitigate production risks and assure a continuous stream of products to market, Arrow deepens customer relationships and solidifies its position as a trusted partner. Capitalizing on strong sales with focused execution produced record quarterly gross profit, operating income and earnings per share. During the fourth quarter, demand for electronic components remained robust in all three regions. Demand was exceptionally strong in the Americas region and was consistently strong from industrial customers in all regions. A favorable mix of higher-margin products and solutions, along with regional mix and higher prices, resulted in record quarterly operating income and margins. For the enterprise computing solutions business, customer engagements increased and expanded resulting in strong order activity. While the IT demand environment was healthy, sales mix was more skewed toward software, services and cloud-based solutions. Hardware-related sales faced challenges from supply-chain bottlenecks. Hence, sales were slightly below the midpoint of the prior guidance range but somewhat understated activity levels during the quarter. Fourth-quarter operating margin returned to the highest level since 2016, aided by a favorable mix of products and solutions. Returns metrics reached new highs during the fourth-quarter, aided by record profitability and continued careful management of working capital. Cash was returned to shareholders through the repurchase of 2 million shares for $250 million. This was the third consecutive quarter where repurchases totaled $250 million. Following an additional $600 million authorization in December, at the end of 2021, remaining repurchase authorization totaled approximately $763 million. Repurchased 2 million shares for $250 million during the quarter and 7.7 million for $900 million during 2021.

16 Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking” statements, as the term is defined under the federal securities laws, including but not limited to statements regarding: Arrow’s future financial performance, including its outlook on financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, such as sales, net income per diluted share, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, average tax rate, average diluted shares outstanding, interest expense, average USD-to-Euro exchange rate, impact to sales due to changes in foreign currencies, intangible amortization expense per diluted share, restructuring & integration charges per diluted share, and expectation regarding market demand. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: potential adverse effects of the ongoing global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, including actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, industry conditions, changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand, competition, other vagaries in the global components and global enterprise computing solutions markets, changes in relationships with key suppliers, increased profit margin pressure, foreign currency fluctuation, changes in legal and regulatory matters, non-compliance with certain regulations such as export, anti-trust, and anti-corruption laws, foreign tax and other loss contingencies, and the company's ability to generate cash flow. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the company's reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements. 16 Risk factors The discussion of the company’s business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of its 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which the company is or may become subject. If any of the described events occur, the company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, or access to the capital markets could be materially adversely affected.


 
17 The company believes that such non- GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company’s operating performance. 17 Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the company also provides certain non-GAAP financial information relating to sales, gross profit, operating income, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, net income per share on a diluted basis, effective tax rate, return on working capital, and return on invested capital. The company provides non-GAAP sales, gross profit, operating income, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, net income per share on a diluted basis, effective tax rate, return on working capital, and return on invested capital, which are non-GAAP measures adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as "changes in foreign currencies") by re-translating prior period results at current period foreign exchange rates, the impact of notes receivable reserves and recoveries related to the AFS business (referred to as “AFS notes receivable reserves and recoveries”), identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, impairments of long-lived assets, impact of the wind down of the company’s personal computer and mobility asset disposition business (referred to as “wind down”), gains and losses on investments, the impact of certain tax adjustments, and pension settlement gains and losses. The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company’s operating performance and underlying trends in the company’s business because management considers these items referred to above to be outside the company’s core operating results. This non- GAAP financial information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company’s financial and operating performance. In addition, the company’s Board of Directors may use this non-GAAP financial information in evaluating management performance and setting management compensation. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or alternative to, sales, operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the tables below.
