Consolidated Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Net sales totaled $13.3 billion, compared to $13.0 billion in the prior fiscal fourth quarter, representing an increase of 2.5%. The year-over-year increase was primarily a result of higher net sales in our North America, Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions, partially offset by a net sales decline in our EMEA region. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the US Dollar had an approximate 0.8% negative impact on the year-over-year net sales comparison.
  • Gross profit was $936.1 million, compared to $978.7 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter.
  • Gross margin was 7.01%, compared to 7.52% in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was driven by a shift in sales mix towards our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions net sales, as well as mix towards the lower-margin, lower cost-to-serve Asia-Pacific region and a higher mix of large enterprise project sales, which typically yield lower margins.
  • Income from operations was $248.5 million, compared to $330.9 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. Adjusted income from operations was $305.2 million, compared to $372.8 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. Included in the results for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 is $34.1 million of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, or 26 basis points of net sales, representing the value of restricted stock units that immediately vested in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”) in October 2024. Also included in these results are the impacts of discrete charges in India, which yielded inventory write-offs impacting gross profit by $9.1 million, or 7 basis points of net sales, and goods and services tax charges and higher professional services costs impacting operating expenses by $11.2 million, or 8 basis points of net sales in the 2024 quarter.
  • Income from operations margin was 1.86%, compared to 2.54% in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. Adjusted income from operations margin was 2.29% compared to 2.86% in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. This year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the mix shift in net sales and resulting impact on gross margins, as well as the impact of restricted stock units vesting and the India charges noted above which negatively impacted the current year margin by 41 basis points.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $418.1 million, compared to $435.4 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter.
  • Diluted EPS was $0.36, compared to $0.61 in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.92, compared to $0.99 in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The EPS impact of the India items noted above was $0.07.
  • Cash provided in operations was $310.0 million, compared to $0.9 million used in operations in the prior fiscal fourth quarter, and adjusted free cash flow was $337.2 million, compared to $13.4 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter.

Regional Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

North America

Net sales were $4.7 billion, compared to $4.5 billion in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The year-over-year increase in North American net sales was driven by strength across all lines of business, particularly PCs, server and storage. Net sales in the current year were particularly strong with our large enterprise customers.

Income from operations was $115.2 million, compared to $125.3 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The year-over-year decrease was impacted by an increase of $8.6 million in restructuring charges taken in the current year fiscal fourth quarter.

Income from operations margin was 2.47%, compared to 2.76% in the prior fiscal fourth quarter, primarily due to a shift in sales mix towards our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions and enterprise customers as well as restructuring costs impacting the current year fiscal fourth quarter by 17 basis points. These impacts were partially offset by continued optimization of our operating expenses, including restructuring actions taken in 2023 and early 2024.

EMEA

Net sales were $4.1 billion, a decrease of 1.5% compared to the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The year-over-year decrease in EMEA net sales was primarily a result of a decrease in advanced solutions, partially offset by modest growth in client and endpoint solutions.

Income from operations was $90.9 million, compared to $106.9 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The year-over-year decrease was impacted by an increase of $4.3 million in restructuring charges taken in the current year fiscal fourth quarter.

Income from operations margin was 2.23%, compared to 2.59% in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The year-over-year decrease in income from operations margin was primarily due to a shift in sales mix towards our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions, as well as restructuring costs impacting the current year fiscal fourth quarter by 11 basis points.

Asia-Pacific

Net sales were $3.6 billion, compared to $3.3 billion in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The increase in Asia-Pacific net sales was driven by net sales of client and endpoint solutions, led by growth in tablets and consumer electronics product sales, partially offset by softer advanced solutions.

Income from operations was $53.5 million, compared to $76.4 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.49%, compared to 2.29% in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. These regional results include a 56 basis point negative impact of the discrete charges in India noted previously. The remaining year-over-year decrease in income from operations margin was primarily the result of a greater mix of lower-margin client and endpoint solutions offset partially by improved operating expense leverage.

Latin America

Net sales were $1.0 billion in both the current and prior fiscal fourth quarter. The 0.9% decrease in Latin American net sales was primarily driven by currency translation rates, which had a negative impact of 8.4% on the year-over-year comparison of net sales. All lines of business grew year-over-year on an FX neutral basis.

Income from operations was $44.1 million, compared to $34.1 million in the prior fiscal fourth quarter.

Income from operations margin was 4.35%, compared to 3.34% in the prior fiscal fourth quarter. The year-over-year increase in income from operations margin was a result of strong sales growth in higher-margin advanced solutions and cloud offerings.

Consolidated Fiscal 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Net sales totaled $48.0 billion, representing a decrease of 0.1% from the prior fiscal year, although the translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the US Dollar had an approximate 0.4% negative impact on this year-over-year comparison. While net sales showed strong growth in the Asia-Pacific region through the year, this was offset by softer results in the other three regions.
  • Gross profit was $3,444.9 million, compared to $3,547.1 million in the prior fiscal year.
  • Gross margin was 7.18%, compared to 7.38% in the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was driven by generally stronger volumes in our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions net sales as well as an overall mix shift towards our lower-margin, lower cost-to-serve Asia-Pacific region.
  • Income from operations was $817.9 million, compared to $944.3 million in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted income from operations was $999.7 million, compared to $1,103.6 million in the prior fiscal year.
  • Income from operations margin was 1.70%, compared to 1.97% in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted income from operations margin was 2.08%, compared to 2.30% in the prior fiscal year. This year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a mix shift towards our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions net sales, while cost controls and reduction actions taken in 2024 and earlier yielded positive operating expense leverage year-over-year. Included in the results for fiscal 2024 are discrete charges in India that impacted gross margin and income from operations as well as the stock-based compensation charge with our IPO. Combined these factors contributed to a 13 basis point negative impact on income from operations margin.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $1,318.6 million, compared to $1,353.1 million in the prior year.
  • Diluted EPS was $1.18, compared to $1.59 in the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $2.79, compared to $2.87 in the prior fiscal year.
  • Cash provided by operations was $333.8 million, compared to $58.8 million in the prior fiscal year, and adjusted free cash flow was $443.3 million, compared to $19.9 million in the prior fiscal year. We continue to manage our balance sheet with a focus on return on investment, profitable growth, and quality of net sales over time.

Regional Fiscal 2024 Financial Highlights

North America

Net sales were $17.4 billion, compared to $18.2 billion in the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year decrease in North American net sales was driven by declines in advanced solutions and client and endpoint solutions, partially offset by strong growth in cloud and other.

Income from operations was $322.2 million, compared to $350.9 million in the prior fiscal year.

Income from operations margin was 1.85%, compared to 1.93% in the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year decrease in income from operations margin was primarily due to a shift in sales mix towards our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions, partially offset by continued optimization of our operating expenses, including restructuring actions taken in 2023 and early 2024.

EMEA

Net sales were $14.3 billion, a decrease of 1.5% compared to the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year decrease in EMEA net sales was primarily a result of a decrease in advanced solutions, partially offset by solid growth in cloud and modest growth in client and endpoint solutions.

Income from operations was $259.4 million, compared to $317.2 million in the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year decrease was impacted by an increase of $13.9 million in restructuring charges taken in the current year.

Income from operations margin was 1.82%, compared to 2.19% in the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year decrease in income from operations margin was primarily due to a shift in sales mix towards our lower-margin client and endpoint solutions, including a challenging comparison to prior year where margins and vendor programs were stronger, particularly on certain supply-constrained products mainly in advanced solutions. The restructuring charges noted above, as well as an increase in SG&A expenses driven by inflationary and other factors, also impacted this year-over-year comparison.

Asia-Pacific

Net sales were $12.8 billion, compared to $11.6 billion in the prior fiscal year. The increase in Asia-Pacific net sales was driven by stronger net sales of client and endpoint solutions, led by growth in smartphones and consumer electronics.

Income from operations was $223.4 million, compared to $247.1 million in the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year decrease was impacted by an increase of $5.7 million in restructuring charges taken in the current year.
