2024 Business Highlights

In 2024, the Company achieved record gross margin driven by cloud and services as well as our pricing and profitability initiatives. We also generated record cash flows from operating activities for the year. The Company made significant progress in key growth areas, with cloud gross profit increasing due to higher demand for SaaS and infrastructure-as-a-service along with contributions from acquisitions. The Company continues to expand its expertise in GCP, ServiceNow, and AWS, while supplementing its strong capabilities in Azure. We believe our focus positions us well to execute on our business goals and serve our clients’ needs as market conditions evolve.

For the full year 2024, we delivered the following consolidated financial results:

Net sales declined 5% to $8.7 billion

Gross profit grew 6% to $1.8 billion

Gross margin expanded approximately 210 basis points to 20.3%

Earnings from operations (“EFO”) declined 7% to $389 million, and non-GAAP Adjusted* EFO grew 2% to $502 million

Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) declined 13% to $6.55, and non-GAAP Adjusted* diluted EPS was flat at $9.68

Non-GAAP Adjusted* return on invested capital (“ROIC”) from EFO was 11.82% and from Adjusted* EFO was 15.28%(1)

Executive Compensation Highlights

Chief Executive Officer Pay for Performance

Our executive compensation program is focused on driving profitability growth and stockholder value creation. The Compensation Committee seeks to foster these objectives through a compensation system that focuses on variable, performance-based incentives that create a balanced focus on our short-term and long-term strategic and financial goals. As shown in the chart below, in 2024, approximately 89% of the target total direct compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Joyce A. Mullen, was variable and/or “at-risk” and earned only if performance goals are met.

Our Executive Compensation Practices

Our executive compensation practices include the following, each of which the Compensation Committee believes reinforces our executive compensation objectives:

Our Executive Compensation Practices
✓Emphasis on at-risk compensation, with significant percentage delivered in the form of variable compensation
✓Long-term performance objectives aligned with the creation of stockholder value
✓Compensation Committee consists of independent directors only
✓Annual review of our compensation-related risk profile
✓Market comparison of executive compensation against relevant peer group information
✓Use of an independent compensation consultant reporting directly to the Compensation Committee and providing services only at the committee’s discretion
✓Robust stock ownership guidelines
✓Clawback policy
✓We do not provide excessive executive perquisites
✓We do not provide excessive severance benefits
✓We do not offer tax gross-ups for changes in control
✓We prohibit repricing of underwater stock options under our long-term incentive plan without stockholder approval

Extensive information regarding our executive compensation programs in place for 2024 can be found under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
