Current report

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), including, among others, tariffs on imports of certain Canadian, Chinese, and Mexican goods, a universal baseline tariff on imports from most countries, and reciprocal tariffs on select countries. The global tariff landscape continues to shift rapidly, with changes impacting businesses and markets around the world.

Current report

The Company continues to monitor the situation, including any potential refunds of such tariffs, and evaluate the impact on its results of operations. No potential refunds have been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact.

Current report

During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, the Company’s financial performance has improved as overall demand for electronic components is improving. During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company experienced both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter sales growth across all regions and an improvement in the days of inventory on hand. The Company expects sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 will grow approximately 5% compared to third quarter sales with expected sales growth across all regions.

Previous report

The impact of these changes in trade policies will depend on various factors, including (i) when trade measures are implemented, (ii) the ultimate amount, scope, nature, and duration of tariffs and other trade measures, and (iii) the extent to which the Company can mitigate impacts and pass on any increased costs associated with these changes. In addition, the impact of trade disruptions on general economic conditions and demand for electronic components is difficult to predict.

Previous report

The Company employs and continues to develop systems and other measures to mitigate the impact of tariffs, including selective supply chain, logistics, and pricing actions. The Company also has contingency plans to respond to a range of economic scenarios. The Company’s management continues to monitor and evaluate the changing tariff situation, as well as the overall environment in the electronic components industry. However, despite these efforts, the Company may not be able to fully mitigate the impact of changes in trade policies or an economic downturn.

Previous report

Additionally, the Company’s total inventories relative to its sales continue to be higher than they have historically been as a result of this industry downturn. The Company has and may in the future purchase additional inventories in certain components even in an industry downturn, if the Company believes the purchase will benefit the Company’s financial or strategic business objectives.

Previous report

Gross profit margin decreased by 3 basis points to 10.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. For the first six months of fiscal 2026, gross margin decreased by 22 basis points to 10.5% when compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025. A shift in the geographic sales mix toward Asia contributed to the decline in gross profit margin. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, sales in the western regions with higher gross profit margins accounted for approximately 50% of total sales, compared to 52% in the same period of fiscal 2025.
Reworded paragraphs (31)

Previous wording

The Company’s operations subject it to tariffs and other trade protection measures. The U.S. administration has instituted certain changes, and may make additional changes, in trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., and other measures affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries from which the Company imports. Due in part to these measures, some countries are changing their trade policies relating to goods imported from the U.S. These global trade disruptions and geopolitical tensions, together with any related downturns in the global economy, could dampen customer demand, increase market volatility, and impact currency exchange rates, all of which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial performance. Evaluating and complying with new and future trade measures diverts management’s attention from existing initiatives, which may negatively impact the Company’s business operations. Additionally, there are several court cases challenging U.S. administration’s authority to impose tariffs, including cases pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. The outcome of these court cases could add complexity to our operations in terms of seeking refunds from the U.S. government, adjusting pricing with customers, and undertaking mitigation efforts to minimize potential impacts to our operations.

Current wording

Sales related to customer billings for various tariffs were less than one percent of total sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 and during fiscal 2025.

Previous wording

The global electronic components market has a history of cyclical downturns followed by periods of increased demand. During the past two fiscal years, the Company’s overall business experienced a downturn marked by a decrease in sales due to a combination of elevated customer inventory levels and lower underlying demand for electronic components. As a result, the Company’s sales and operating income declined. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company experienced both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter sales growth and an improvement in the days of inventory on hand. The Company anticipates that third-quarter sales in fiscal 2026 will grow by about 1% compared to the second-quarter sales with higher growth coming from the Americas and EMEA regions compared to the Asia region.

Previous wording

Sales of $6.32 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $655.6 million, or 11.6%, as compared to $5.66 billion for the same quarter last year driven by sales growth across all EC regions and from Farnell. Sales for the first six months of fiscal 2026 were $12.22 billion, an increase of $950.0 million as compared to sales of $11.27 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2025 reflecting year-over-year sales growth in both the EC and Farnell operating groups.

Current wording

Third quarter fiscal 2026 sales reached $7.12 billion, up 34.0% or $1.80 billion from $5.32 billion for the same quarter last year, with growth across all EC regions and Farnell. Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 were $19.34 billion, an increase of $2.75 billion over sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2025, driven by strong performance in both EC and Farnell operating groups across all end markets served.

Previous wording

EC sales were $5.89 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, representing a $574.0 million increase, or 10.8%, over prior year second quarter sales of $5.32 billion. All three EC regions contributed to this growth led by Asia. The growth came primarily from the compute, aerospace and defense, and transportation end markets. EC sales increases were primarily driven by increased volumes and to a lesser extent increased mix of sales of higher priced components. Average selling prices remained largely unchanged during the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Current wording

EC sales were $6.67 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, representing a $1.72 billion increase, or 34.7%, over prior year third quarter sales of $4.95 billion.

Previous wording

Farnell sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $427.1 million, reflecting an increase of $81.6 million, or 23.6%, compared to the same period in the prior year, with all three regions contributing to the increase. The increase in sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 is primarily due to improvement in demand for single board computers globally and for on-the-board electronic components in the Asia and Americas regions. The increase in sales at Farnell was primarily driven by an increase in volumes as increases in components pricing were insignificant during the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Current wording

Farnell sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $454.7 million, reflecting an increase of $88.0 million, or 24.0%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 is primarily due to improvement in demand for single board computers and on-the-board electronic components. The increase in sales at Farnell was primarily driven by an increase in volumes as increases in components pricing were insignificant during the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Previous wording

The Company’s gross profit and gross profit margin are primarily affected by sales volume, product mix, product pricing, and geographic sales mix. Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $67.0 million, or 11.2% from the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2026 increased $74.4 million, or 6.2% from the first six months of fiscal 2025.This increase in gross profit is primarily due to sales increases in both operating groups discussed above, partially offset by the decline in gross profit margin in the EC operating group, which was mostly driven by a higher percentage of sales coming from the lower margin Asia region.

Current wording

The Company’s gross profit and gross profit margin are primarily affected by sales volume, product mix, customer mix and pricing, and geographic sales mix. Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $151.2 million, or 25.7% from the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 increased $225.6 million, or 12.6% from the first nine months of fiscal 2025.This increase in gross profit is primarily due to sales increases in both operating groups previously discussed, partially offset by declines in gross profit margin in the EC operating group, which was driven by a higher percentage of sales coming from the lower margin Asia region and from differences in product and customer mix in the Western regions.

Previous wording

EC gross profit margin decreased year over year largely due to the factors discussed above. Farnell gross profit margin increased year over year, primarily due to an increase in product mix of on-the-board components.

Current wording

EC gross profit margin decreased year over year largely due to the factors discussed previously. Farnell gross profit margin increased year over year, primarily due to an increase in product mix of on-the-board electronic components.

Previous wording

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) increased $54.7 million or 12.5% from the second quarter of fiscal 2025, and increased $80.4 million, or 9.2% from the first six months of fiscal 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increases in variable operating expenses associated with higher sales volumes and the impact of changes in foreign currency translation rates.

Current wording

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) increased $83.3 million or 19.1% from the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and increased $163.7 million, or 12.5% from the first nine months of fiscal 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increases in variable operating expenses associated with higher sales volumes and the impact of changes in foreign currency translation rates.

Previous wording

Management monitors SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales and as a percentage of gross profit. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, SG&A expenses were 7.8% of sales and 74.2% of gross profit, as compared with 7.7% and 73.3%, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

The year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit is primarily due to the decline in gross profit margin in EC discussed further above.

Current wording

Management monitors SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales and as a percentage of gross profit. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, SG&A expenses were 7.3% of sales and 70.2% of gross profit, as compared with 8.2% and 74.1%, respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
