PART I
Item 1. Business
Avnet, Inc., incorporated in New York in 1955, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Avnet”), is one of the world’s largest industrial distributors, based on sales, of electronic components, enterprise computer and storage products and embedded subsystems. Avnet creates a vital link in the technology supply chain that connects the world’s leading electronic component and computer product manufacturers and software developers with a global customer base of original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) providers, original design manufacturers (“ODMs”), and value-added resellers (“VARs”). Avnet distributes electronic components, computer products and software as received from its suppliers or with assembly or other value added by Avnet. Additionally, Avnet provides engineering design, materials management and logistics services, system integration and configuration, and supply chain services that can be customized to meet the requirements of both customers and suppliers.
Organizational Structure
Avnet has two primary operating groups — Electronics Marketing (“EM”) and Technology Solutions (“TS”). Both operating groups have operations in each of the three major economic regions of the world: the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia/Pacific, consisting of Asia, Australia and New Zealand (“Asia” or “Asia/Pac”). Each operating group has its own management team led by a group president and includes regional presidents and senior executives within the operating group who manage the various functions within the businesses. Each operating group also has distinct financial reporting that is evaluated at the corporate level on which operating decisions and strategic planning for the Company as a whole are made. Divisions exist within each operating group that serve primarily as sales and marketing units to further streamline the sales and marketing efforts within each operating group and enhance each operating group’s ability to work with its customers and suppliers, generally along more specific product lines or geographies. However, each division relies heavily on the support services provided by the operating group as well as centralized support at the corporate level.
Avnet’s operating groups and their sales are as follows:
Region | Fiscal 2012 Sales | Percentage of Sales | ||||
(Millions) | ||||||
EM Americas | $ | 5,678.7 | 22.1 | % | ||
EM EMEA | 4,203.3 | 16.4 | ||||
EM Asia | 5,051.1 | 19.6 | ||||
Total EM | 14,933.1 | 58.1 | ||||
TS Americas | 5,820.6 | 22.6 | ||||
TS EMEA | 3,205.6 | 12.5 | ||||
TS Asia | 1,748.2 | 6.8 | ||||
Total TS | 10,774.4 | 41.9 | ||||
Total Avnet | $ | 25,707.5 | 100.0 | % | ||

Foreign Operations
As noted in the operating group discussions, Avnet has significant operations in all three major economic regions of the world: the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific. The percentage of Avnet’s consolidated sales by region is presented in the following table:
Percentage of Sales for Fiscal Year | |||||
Region | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | ||
Americas | 45% | 43% | 44% | ||
EMEA | 29 | 32 | 31 | ||
Asia/Pac | 26 | 25 | 25 | ||
100% | 100% | 100% | |||
Avnet’s foreign operations are subject to a variety of risks. These risks are discussed further under Risk Factors in Item 1A and under Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Item 7A of this Report. Additionally, the specific translation impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, most notably the Euro, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are further discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of this Report.
Acquisitions
Avnet has historically pursued a strategic acquisition program to grow its geographic and market coverage in world markets for electronic components and computer products, services and solutions. This program was a significant factor in Avnet becoming one of the largest industrial distributors of such products and services worldwide. Avnet expects to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions as part of its overall growth strategy, with its focus likely directed primarily at smaller targets in markets where the Company is seeking to expand its market presence, increase its scale and scope and/or increase its product or service offerings.
During fiscal 2012, the Company completed eleven acquisitions with aggregate annualized revenue of approximately $900 million. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of this Form 10-K for additional information on acquisitions completed during fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Major Products
One of Avnet’s competitive strengths is the breadth and quality of the suppliers whose products it distributes. IBM products accounted for approximately 11%, 12% and 15% of the Company’s consolidated sales during fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was the only supplier from which sales of its products exceeded 10% of consolidated sales. Listed in the table below are the major product categories and the Company’s approximate sales of each during the past three fiscal years:

Competition & Markets
Avnet is one of the world’s largest industrial distributors, based on sales, of electronic components and computer products and services. The Company has more than 300 locations worldwide as well as a limited number of instances where Avnet-owned product is stored in customer facilities. Some of these locations contain sales, warehousing and administrative functions for multiple sales and marketing units.
The electronic components and computer products industries continue to be extremely competitive and are subject to rapid technological advances. The Company’s major competitors include Arrow Electronics, Inc., Future Electronics and World Peace Group, and, to a lesser extent, Ingram Micro, Inc. and Tech Data Corp. There are also certain smaller, specialized competitors who generally focus on narrower markets, products or particular sectors. As a result of these factors, Avnet must remain competitive in its pricing of goods and services.
Another key competitive factor in the electronic component and computer product distribution industry is the need to carry a sufficient amount of inventory to meet customers’ rapid delivery requirements. However, to minimize its exposure related to valuation of inventory on hand, the majority of the Company’s products are purchased pursuant to non-exclusive distributor agreements. These agreements typically provide certain protections for product obsolescence and price erosion and are generally cancelable upon 30 to 180 days’ notice. In most cases, these agreements provide for inventory return privileges upon cancellation. In addition, the Company enhances its competitive position by offering a variety of value-added services which entail the performance of services and/or processes tailored to individual customer specifications and business needs such as point of use replenishment, testing, assembly, supply chain management and materials management.
Another competitive advantage is the size of the supplier base. Because of the number of Avnet’s suppliers, many customers can simplify their procurement process and make all of their required purchases from Avnet, rather than purchasing from several different vendors.
Seasonality
Historically, Avnet’s business has not been materially impacted by seasonality, with the exception of a relatively minor impact on consolidated results from the growth in revenues in the Technology Solutions business during the December quarter primarily driven by the fiscal year end of a key supplier.
Number of Employees
At June 30, 2012, Avnet had approximately 19,100 employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Forward-Looking Statements And Risk Factors
This Report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Avnet. These statements are generally identified by words like “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “estimates” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties.
Except as required by law, Avnet does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements include the following:
Economic weakness and uncertainty could adversely affect our results and prospects.
The Company's results, operations and prospects depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions, the demand for its products and services, and the financial condition of its customers and suppliers. Economic weakness and uncertainty, including the ongoing macroeconomic issues in many countries globally and the debt crisis in Europe and the United States, have in the past resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased revenues, margins and earnings. Economic weakness and uncertainty also make it more difficult for the Company to manage inventory levels and collect customer receivables, which may result in reduced access to liquidity and higher financing costs.
The electronics component and computer industries are highly competitive and if the Company fails to compete effectively, its revenues, gross profit margins and prospects may decline.
The market for the Company's products and services is very competitive and subject to rapid technological advances, changes in industry standards and changes in customer needs. Not only does the Company compete with other global distributors, it also competes for customers with regional distributors and some of the Company's own suppliers. The Company's failure to maintain and enhance its competitive position could adversely affect its business and prospects. Furthermore, the Company's efforts to compete in the marketplace could cause deterioration of gross profit margins and, thus, overall profitability.
The size of the Company's competitors vary across market sectors, as do the resources the Company has allocated to the sectors and geographic areas in which it does business. Therefore, some of the competitors may have greater financial, personnel, capacity and other resources or a more extensive customer base than the Company has in one or more of its market sectors and geographic areas, which may result in the Company not being able to effectively compete in certain markets which could impact the Company's profitability and prospects.
7
An industry down-cycle in semiconductors could significantly affect the Company's operating results as a large portion of revenues come from sales of semiconductors, which is a highly cyclical industry.
The semiconductor industry historically has experienced periodic fluctuations in product supply and demand, often associated with changes in technology and manufacturing capacity, and is generally considered to be highly cyclical. During each of the last three fiscal years, sales of semiconductors represented over 50% of the Company's consolidated sales, and the Company's revenues, particularly those of EM, closely follow the strength or weakness of the semiconductor market. Future downturns in the technology industry, particularly in the semiconductor sector, could negatively affect the Company's operating results and negatively impact the Company's ability to maintain its current profitability levels.
Failure to maintain its relationships with key suppliers could adversely affect the Company’s sales.
One of the Company's competitive strengths is the breadth and quality of the suppliers whose products the Company distributes. However, sales of products and services from one of the Company's suppliers, IBM, accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's consolidated sales in fiscal year 2012. Management expects IBM products and services to continue to account for roughly a similar percentage of the Company's consolidated sales in fiscal year 2013. The Company's contracts with its suppliers, including those with IBM, vary in duration and are generally terminable by either party at will upon notice. To the extent IBM or other primary suppliers significantly reduce their volume of business with the Company in the future, because of a product shortage, an unwillingness to do business with Avnet, or otherwise, the Company's business and relationships with its customers could be materially and adversely affected because its customers depend on the Company's distribution of electronic components and computer products from the industry's leading suppliers. In addition, to the extent that any of the Company's key suppliers modify the terms of their contracts including, without limitation, the terms regarding price protection, rights of return, rebates or other terms that protect or enhance the Company's gross margins, it could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Declines in the value of the Company's inventory or unexpected order cancellations by the Company's customers could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
The electronic components and computer products industries are subject to rapid technological change, new and enhanced products, changes in customer needs and changes in industry standards, which can contribute to a decline in value or obsolescence of inventory. Regardless of the general economic environment, it is possible that prices will decline due to a decrease in demand or an oversupply of products and, as a result of the price declines, there may be greater risk of declines in inventory value. Although it is the policy of many of the Company's suppliers to offer distributors like Avnet certain protections from the loss in value of inventory (such as price protection and limited rights of return), the Company cannot be assured that such policies will fully compensate for the loss in value, or that the vendors will choose to, or be able to, honor such agreements, some of which are not documented and, therefore, subject to the discretion of the vendor. In addition, the Company's sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders, and the Company generally does not have long-term supply arrangements with its customers. Generally, the Company's customers may cancel orders 30 days prior to shipment with minimal penalties. The Company cannot be assured that unforeseen new product developments, declines in the value of the Company's inventory or unforeseen order cancellations by its customers will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Substantial defaults by the Company's customers on its accounts receivable or the loss of significant customers could have a significant negative impact on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
A significant portion of the Company's working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay the amount it owes the Company, or were to become unwilling or unable to make such payments in a timely manner, the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn could adversely and materially affect the servicing of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of management's expectations. A significant deterioration in the Company's ability to collect on accounts receivable could also impact the cost or availability of financing under its accounts receivable securitization program (see Financing Transactions appearing in Item 7 of this Report).
8
The Company's non-U.S. locations represent a significant portion of its revenue, and consequently, the Company is increasingly exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.
During fiscal year 2012, 2011 and 2010, approximately 61%, 62% and 60%, respectively, of the Company's sales came from its operations outside the United States. As a result of the Company's foreign sales and locations, in particular those in emerging and developing economies, the Company's operations are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations, including, but not limited to, the following:
• | potential restrictions on the Company's ability to repatriate funds from its foreign subsidiaries; |
• | foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations and the impact on the Company's reported results of operations; |
• | import and export duties and value-added taxes; |
• | compliance with foreign and domestic import and export regulations, business licensing requirements and anti-corruption laws, the failure of which could result in severe penalties including monetary fines, criminal proceedings and suspension of import or export privileges; |
• | changing tax laws and regulations; |
• | regulatory requirements and prohibitions that differ between jurisdictions; |
• | economic and political instability, terrorism and potential military conflicts or civilian unrest; |
• | fluctuations in freight costs, limitations on shipping and receiving capacity, and other disruptions in the transportation and shipping infrastructure; |
• | natural disasters and health concerns; |
• | differing environmental regulations and employment practices and labor issues; and |
• | the risk of non-compliance with local laws. |
In addition to the cost of compliance, the potential criminal penalties for violations of export regulations and anti-corruption laws, particularly anti-bribery, data privacy laws and environmental laws and regulations in many jurisdictions, create heightened risks for the Company's international operations. In the event that a governing regulatory body determined that the Company had violated applicable import or export regulations or anti-corruption laws, the Company could be fined significant sums, incur sizable legal defense costs and/or its import or export capabilities could be restricted, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's business. While the Company has and will continue to adopt measures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, the Company cannot be assured that such measures will be adequate or that its business will not be materially and adversely impacted in the event of an alleged violation.
The Company's acquisition strategy may not produce the expected benefits, which may adversely affect the Company's results of operations.
Avnet has made, and expects to continue to make, strategic acquisitions or investments in companies around the world to further its strategic objectives and support key business initiatives. Acquisitions and investments involve risks and uncertainties, some of which may differ from those associated with Avnet's historical operations. The risks relating to such transactions include, but are not limited to, risks relating to expanding into emerging markets and business areas, adding additional product lines and services, incurring unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the companies acquired and diverting management's attention from existing business operations. As a result, the Company's profitability may be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company may not be successful in integrating the acquired businesses or the integration may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than anticipated. Further, any litigation relating to a potential acquisition will result in an increase in the expenses associated with the acquisition or cause a delay in completing the acquisition, thereby impacting the Company's profitability. The Company may experience disruptions that could, depending on the size of the acquisition, have a material adverse effect on its business, especially where an acquisition target may have pre-existing non-compliance or pre-existing deficiencies or material weaknesses as those terms are defined under relevant SEC rules and regulations. Furthermore, the Company may not realize all of the anticipated benefits from its acquisitions, which could materially and adversely affect the Company's financial performance.
9
If the Company fails to maintain effective internal controls, it may not be able to report its financial results accurately or timely or detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or the market price of the Company's securities.
Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. If the Company cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, its brand and operating results could be harmed. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company is required to furnish a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including management's assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls cannot provide absolute assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if the Company experiences difficulties in their implementation, the Company's business and operating results could be harmed, and the Company could fail to meet its reporting obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on its business or the market price of the Company's securities.
If the Company’s internal information systems fail to function properly, or if the Company is unsuccessful in the integration or upgrade of information systems, its business operations could suffer.
The Company's expanding operations put increasing pressure on the Company's information systems to facilitate the day- to- day operations of the business and to produce timely, accurate and reliable reports on financial and operational results. Currently, the Company's global operations are tracked with multiple information systems, some of which are subject to on-going IT projects designed to streamline or optimize its global information systems. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful at all times in these efforts or that there will not be integration difficulties that will adversely affect the Company's operations or the accurate and timely recording and reporting of financial data. In addition, the Company's information technology is subject to security breaches, computer hacking or other general system failures. Maintaining and operating these systems requires continuous investments. A data privacy breach may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. A failure of any of these information systems in a way described above or material difficulties in upgrading these information systems could have material adverse effects on the Company's business and its compliance with reporting obligations under federal securities laws.
Major disruptions to the Company’s logistics capability could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations.
The Company's global logistics services are operated through specialized and centralized distribution centers around the globe. The Company also depends almost entirely on third-party transportation service providers for the delivery of products to its customers. A major interruption or disruption in service at one or more of its distribution centers for any reason (such as natural disasters, pandemics, or significant disruptions of services from our third-party providers) could cause cancellations or delays in a significant number of shipments to customers and, as a result, could have a severe impact on the Company's business, operations and financial performance.
The Company may not have adequate or cost-effective liquidity or capital resources.
The Company's ability to satisfy its cash needs depends on its ability to generate cash from operations and to access the financial markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the Company's control.
The Company may need to satisfy its cash needs through external financing. However, external financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. As of June 30, 2012, Avnet had total debt outstanding of $2.144 billion under various notes and committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions. The Company needs cash to make interest payments on, and to refinance, this indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, such as funding its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs. Under the terms of any external financing, the Company may incur higher than expected financing expenses and become subject to additional restrictions and covenants. Any material increase in the Company's financing costs could have a material adverse effect on its profitability.
10
Under certain of its credit facilities, the Company is required to maintain certain specified financial ratios and meet certain tests. If the Company fails to meet these financial ratios and/or tests, it may be unable to continue to utilize these facilities. If the Company is unable to utilize these facilities, it may not have sufficient cash available to make interest payments on and refinance indebtedness and for general corporate needs. General economic or business conditions, domestic and foreign, may be less favorable than management expects and could adversely impact the Company's sales or its ability to collect receivables from its customers, which may impact access to the Company's securitization program.
The agreements governing some of the Company's financings contain various covenants and restrictions that limit the discretion of management in operating its business and could prevent us from engaging in some activities that may be beneficial to the Company's business.
The agreements governing the Company's financing, including its credit facility and the indentures governing the Company's outstanding notes, contain various covenants and restrictions that, in certain circumstances, limit the Company's ability, and the ability of certain subsidiaries, to:
• | grant liens on assets; |
• | make restricted payments (including paying dividends on capital stock or redeeming or repurchasing capital stock); |
• | make investments; |
• | merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; |
• | incur additional debt; or |
• | engage in certain transactions with affiliates. |
As a result of these covenants and restrictions, the Company may be limited in the future in how it conducts its business and may be unable to raise additional debt, compete effectively or make further investments.
The Company may become involved in intellectual property disputes that could cause it to incur substantial costs, divert the efforts of management or require it to pay substantial damages or licensing fees.
From time to time, the Company receives notifications alleging infringements of intellectual property rights allegedly held by others relating to the Company's business or the products or services it sells. 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 the Company's operations. Further, the Company may be obligated to indemnify and defend its customers if the products or services the Company sells are alleged to infringe any third-party's intellectual property rights. While the Company may be able to seek indemnification from its suppliers for itself and its customers against such claims, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining such indemnification or that the Company will be fully protected against such claims. If an infringement claim is successful, the Company may be required to pay damages or seek royalty or license arrangements, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. The Company may have to stop selling certain products or services, which could affect its ability to compete effectively.
Failure to comply with the requirements of environmental regulations could adversely affect its business.
The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations addressing environmental and other impacts from product disposal, use of hazardous materials in products, recycling of products at the end of their useful life and other related matters. While the Company strives to ensure it is in full compliance with all applicable regulations, certain of these regulations impose liability without fault. Additionally, the Company may be held responsible for the prior activities of an entity it acquired. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, as well as third-party claims for property damage or personal injury. Further, environmental laws may become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violation.
11
Tax legislation initiatives or challenges to the Company's tax positions could impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
As a multinational corporation, the Company is subject to the tax laws and regulations of the United States federal, state and local governments and of many international jurisdictions. From time-to-time, legislation may be enacted that could adversely affect the Company's tax positions. There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate and the resulting cash flow will not be adversely affected by these changes in regulations. The tax laws and regulations of the various countries where the Company has
operations are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations. Although the Company believes that its historical tax positions are sound and consistent with applicable laws, regulations and existing precedent, there can be no assurance that these tax positions will not be challenged by relevant tax authorities or that the Company would be successful in any such challenge.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
As a result primarily of certain former manufacturing operations, Avnet has incurred and may have future liability under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing pollution and exposure to, and the handling, storage and disposal of, hazardous substances. For example, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”) and similar state laws, Avnet is and may be liable for the costs of cleaning up environmental contamination on or from certain of its current or former properties, and at off-site locations where the Company disposed of wastes in the past. Such laws may impose joint and several liability. Typically, however, the costs for cleanup at such sites are allocated among potentially responsible parties based upon each party’s relative contribution to the contamination, and other factors.
Pursuant to SEC regulations, including but not limited to Item 103 of Regulation S-K, the Company regularly assesses the status of and developments in pending environmental legal proceedings to determine whether any such proceedings should be identified specifically in this discussion of legal proceedings, and has concluded that no particular pending environmental legal proceeding requires public disclosure. Based on the information known to date, management believes that the Company has appropriately accrued in its consolidated financial statements for its share of the estimated costs of environmental matters.
12
The Company is also party to various other lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings arising from time to time in the normal course of business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

(a) | As adjusted for the retrospective application of an accounting standard. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued authoritative guidance which requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the debt and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument. The standard requires the convertible debt to be recognized at the present value of its cash flows discounted using the non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance. The resulting debt discount from this present value calculation is to be recognized as the value of the equity component and recorded to additional paid in capital. The discounted convertible debt is then required to be accreted up to its face value and recorded as non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the convertible debt. In addition, deferred financing costs associated with the convertible debt are required to be allocated between the debt and equity components based upon relative values. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company adopted this standard; however, there was no impact to the fiscal 2010 consolidated financial statements because the Company’s 2% Convertible Senior Debentures, to which this standard applied, were extinguished in fiscal 2009. Due to the required retrospective application of this standard to prior periods, the Company adjusted the prior period comparative consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the adjustments to increase (decrease) previously reported balances. |

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
For an understanding of Avnet and the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the past three fiscal years, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the description of the business appearing in Item 1 of this Report and the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes and schedule, and other information appearing in Item 15 of this Report. The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year. Fiscal 2012 and 2011 contained 52 weeks while fiscal 2010 contained 53 weeks. This extra week, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, impacts the year-over-year analysis in this MD&A.
There are references to the impact of foreign currency translation in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations. When the stronger U.S. Dollar exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is a decrease in U.S. Dollars of reported results as compared with the prior period. When the U.S. Dollar weakens, the resulting impact is an increase in U.S. Dollars of reported results as compared with the prior period. In the discussion that follows, this is referred to as the “translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.”
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:
• | Income or expense items as adjusted for the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as discussed above. |
• | Sales adjusted for certain items that impact the year-over-year analysis, which included the impact of acquisitions by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to include the sales of businesses acquired as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. In addition, for fiscal 2011 sales are adjusted for: (i) a divestiture by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to exclude the sales of the business divested as if the divestiture had occurred at the beginning of the period presented; (ii) the impact of the extra week of sales in the prior year first quarter due to the “52/53 week” fiscal year; and (iii) the transfer of the existing embedded business from TS Americas to EM Americas that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Sales taking into account the combination of these adjustments are referred to as “pro forma sales” or “organic sales.” |
• | Operating income excluding restructuring, integration and other charges incurred in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010. The reconciliation to GAAP is presented in the following table: |

Adjusted operating income | $ | 957,750 | $ | 1,007,155 | $ | 661,019 | |||||
Management believes that providing this additional information is useful for the reader to better assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods. Furthermore, management typically monitors the business both including and excluding these items and uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. However, 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.
Results of Operations
Executive Summary
Revenue for fiscal 2012 was $25.71 billion, a decrease of 3.1% from fiscal 2011 revenue of $26.53 billion, and revenue on an organic basis was down 4.4% year over year. Fiscal 2011 was a particularly strong year as the economic environment seemed to have hit a peak in the V-shaped recovery in the technology markets following the global financial and economic crisis that impacted the Company's business in fiscal 2009 and 2010. In comparison to the record revenue in fiscal 2011, the Company experienced a year-over-year decrease in revenue in fiscal 2012 primarily due to double-digit declines in the EMEA region in both
18
operating groups. The global macroeconomic environment continued to be a challenge, most notably in Europe and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere. EM revenue of $14.93 billion declined 0.9% over the prior year and organic revenue decreased 6.0% year over year in constant currency. This decline was primarily a result of the comparison to the particularly strong prior year and economic conditions in Europe, as previously mentioned. TS revenue of $10.77 billion declined 6.0% over the prior year and its organic revenue declined 1.4% in constant currency over the prior year. The double-digit organic revenue decline in EMEA was mostly offset by the double-digit revenue growth in Asia and the low single-digit growth in the Americas. Despite the TS revenue decline, TS increased gross profit margin and operating income margin year over year driven primarily by the combination of a focus on improving the overall performance within the EMEA region, including avoiding lower margin sales together with the benefit from restructuring initiatives.
Gross profit margin of 11.9% improved 16 basis points over the prior year. EM gross profit margin was down 38 basis points year over year, with all three regions experiencing declines. The Americas region was impacted by the transfer of the lower gross margin Latin America computing components business from TS Americas to EM Americas at the beginning of fiscal 2012. In addition, the regional mix of business was slightly more skewed to the lower margin regions in the current fiscal year as the higher gross margin EMEA region represented 28% of the overall EM revenue mix as compared with 32% in the prior year. TS gross profit margin improved 73 basis points year over year. The year-over-year improvement was driven by the western regions, particularly EMEA. The Americas region's gross profit margin benefited from the transfer of the Latin America business to EM as mentioned above.
Consolidated operating income margin was 3.4% as compared with 3.5% in the prior year, which included restructuring, integration and other charges in both periods. Excluding these charges, operating income margin was 3.7% as compared with 3.8% in the prior year as a decline at EM offset improvement at TS. TS operating income margin increased 46 basis points year over year to 3.0%. Although EM's operating income margin declined to 5.0% due to the overall macroeconomic conditions mentioned above, it is within management's target range for EM.
Given the level of uncertainty surrounding the global economic environment and considering management's performance expectations for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company is evaluating additional cost reduction actions to further align expenses in the business with current market conditions.

Consolidated sales for fiscal 2012 were $25.71 billion, a decrease of 3.1%, or $826.9 million, from the prior year consolidated sales of $26.53 billion. Organic sales (as defined earlier in this MD&A) decreased 4.4%, which was primarily due to a double-digit decline in the EMEA region in both operating groups.
EM sales of $14.93 billion for fiscal 2012 decreased 0.9% from the prior year sales of $15.07 billion. EM organic revenue in constant currency decreased 6.0% year over year due to the combination of exceptionally high growth in fiscal 2011 driven by the V-shaped recovery in electronic components, which led to negative organic growth in EM for fiscal 2012. On a regional basis, EMEA experienced double-digit, year-over-year revenue declines for both organic and reported revenue, as a result of weaker demand amid concerns surrounding economic conditions in Europe. Asia organic revenue declined 7.5%, primarily due to slowing growth in China, and the Americas was flat as compared with fiscal 2011.
TS sales of $10.77 billion for fiscal 2012 decreased 6.1% from the prior year sales of $11.47 billion. The year-over-year revenue decrease was due primarily to the Americas and EMEA regions, which were down 9.1% and 10.4%, respectively, partially offset by growth of 17.6% in Asia. Organic revenue decreased 1.7% year over year primarily due to EMEA, which decreased 12.7% and 11.4% in constant currency. The double-digit decline in EMEA was due to weaker demand in Europe due primarily to the macroeconomic environment previously mentioned. The organic decline in EMEA was mostly offset by an increase of 11.5% in Asia and 1.7% in the Americas. On a product level, software and services experienced strong double-digit growth year over year and storage, processors and other hardware also grew year over year.
Fiscal 2011 Comparison to Fiscal 2010

21
Consolidated sales in fiscal 2011 were $26.53 billion, an increase of 38.5%, or $7.37 billion, from fiscal 2010 consolidated sales of $19.16 billion. This increase was due to the combination of growth through acquisitions and organic growth of 17.1%. EM sales of $15.07 billion in fiscal 2011 increased 37.4% over fiscal 2010 sales of $10.97 billion. The year-over-year comparisons were impacted by acquisitions and the transfer of the TS Americas embedded business to EM Americas. Organic sales increased 21.9% year over year and all three regions contributed with organic growth of 14.2%, 34.4% and 19.5% in the Americas, EMEA and Asia, respectively, largely attributable to the continued strong end demand across the technology industry. TS sales of $11.47 billion in fiscal 2011 increased 40.0% over fiscal 2010 sales of $8.19 billion. The year-over-year comparisons were positively impacted by recent acquisitions, and partially offset by the transfer of the TS Americas embedded business to EM and a divestiture. Organic sales increased 11.3% year over year driven by the Americas and Asia regions with increased organic sales of 13.0% and 31.4%, respectively. In the EMEA region, organic sales increased 1.7%. On a product level, year-over-year sales growth was driven primarily by demand for storage and servers.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margins
Consolidated gross profit in fiscal 2012 was $3.05 billion, a decrease of $57.2 million, or 1.8%, from the prior year and decreased 4.0% on a pro forma basis in constant currency. Gross profit margin of 11.9% improved 16 basis points over the prior year. EM gross profit margin was down 38 basis points year over year, with all three regions experiencing declines. The Americas region was impacted by the transfer of the lower gross margin Latin America computing components business from TS Americas to EM Americas at the beginning of fiscal 2012. In addition, the regional mix of business was slightly more skewed to the lower margin regions in the current fiscal year as the higher gross margin EMEA region represented 28% of the overall EM revenue mix as compared with 32% in the prior year. TS gross profit margin improved 73 basis points year over year. The year-over-year improvement was driven by the western regions, particularly EMEA. The Americas region's gross profit margin benefited from the transfer of the Latin America business to EM as mentioned previously.
Consolidated gross profit in fiscal 2011 was $3.11 billion, an increase of $827.6 million, or 36.3%, from fiscal 2010 due primarily to strong organic sales growth and the increase in sales related to acquisitions. Gross profit margin of 11.7% declined 19 basis points year over year due primarily to the impact of businesses acquired, which had product lines with lower gross margins than Avnet’s other product lines. EM gross profit margin increased 10 basis points where the addition of the lower margin embedded business acquired from Bell Microproducts Inc. ("Bell") and the embedded business transferred from TS mostly offset the margin increase that occurred in the legacy EM business and geographic mix shift. TS gross profit margin declined 52 basis points year over year primarily attributable to the EMEA region and the impact of the integration of the Bell business, which has a lower gross profit margin profile than the other TS EMEA product lines. Although the Bell business had a lower gross profit margin profile due to its product mix, the Company estimates it realized the full impact of over $60 million in annualized synergies in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) were $2.09 billion in fiscal 2012, essentially flat from the prior year, decreasing only $7.8 million. This $7.8 million decrease consisted of (i) approximately $51 million related to both a decrease in expenses for the existing business due primarily to cost reduction actions taken and a decrease in variable expenses related to the revenue decline, and (ii) approximately $6 million related to a decrease due to the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by (iii) an increase of approximately $49 million related to expenses from businesses acquired. Metrics that management monitors with respect to its operating expenses are SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales and as a percentage of gross profit. In fiscal 2012, SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales were 8.1% and were 68.6% as a percentage of gross profit as compared with 7.9% and 67.6%, respectively, in fiscal 2011. SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit at TS decreased over 250 basis points year over year. EM SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit increased approximately 250 basis points from the prior year near record low, which was attributable to the strong operating leverage in a particularly high growth environment in the prior year.
SG&A expenses were $2.10 billion in fiscal 2011, which was an increase of $481.5 million, or 29.7%, from fiscal 2010. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily a result of approximately $304 million of additional SG&A expenses associated with acquisitions, $170 million of incremental costs necessary to support the 17.1% year-over-year organic sales growth, net of incremental cost savings from integration activity and the additional week of expenses in fiscal 2010 and $7 million due to the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In fiscal 2011, SG&A expenses were 7.9% of sales and 67.6% of gross profit as compared with 8.5% and 71.0%, respectively, in fiscal 2010. This continued year-over-year improvement reflects the operating leverage in the business model realized from recent revenue growth and effective expense management.

Restructuring, Integration and Other Charges
Fiscal 2012
During fiscal 2012, the Company continued to take certain actions to reduce costs in both operating groups in response to market conditions and incurred acquisition and integration costs associated with acquired businesses during the fiscal year. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring, integration and other charges of $73.6 million pre-tax, $53.0 million after tax and $0.35 per share on a diluted basis for fiscal 2012. Restructuring charges of $50.3 million pre-tax consisted of $33.2 million for severance, $12.0 million for facility exit costs and fixed asset write-downs and $5.1 million for other restructuring charges, primarily other lease obligations that have no on-going benefit to the Company. Pre-tax integration costs and acquisition transaction costs were $9.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The Company recorded a credit of $3.3 million pre-tax to adjust reserves related to prior year restructuring activity that were no longer required. In addition, the Company recorded $6.7 million pre-tax for (i) a legal claim associated with an acquired business and a potential royalty claim related to periods prior to acquisition by Avnet and (ii) a legal claim associated with an indemnification of a prior divested business.
Severance charges recorded in fiscal 2012 related to over 800 employees in sales, administrative and finance functions in connection with the cost reduction actions taken in all three regions in both operating groups with employee reductions of approximately 480 in EM and 320 in TS. Facility exit costs for vacated facilities related to 12 facilities in the Americas, 5 in EMEA and 13 in Asia and consisted of reserves for remaining lease liabilities and the write-down of leasehold improvements and other fixed assets. As a result of the restructuring initiatives implemented during fiscal 2012, the Company expects to generate approximately $40 million to $50 million in annualized savings by the end of fiscal 2012 with the full benefit of the cost savings to be realized in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The total amounts utilized against the reserves established during fiscal 2012 included $29.3 million in cash payments and $4.7 million in non-cash asset write-downs. As of June 30, 2012, management expects the majority of the remaining severance reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2015 and the remaining facility exit cost reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2016.
Integration costs incurred related to the integration of acquired businesses and incremental costs incurred as part of the consolidation and closure of certain office and warehouse locations. Integration costs included IT consulting costs for system integration assistance, facility moving costs, legal fees, travel, meeting, marketing and communication costs that were incrementally incurred as a result of the integration activity. Also included in integration costs are incremental salary costs associated with the consolidation and closure activities as well as costs associated with acquisition activity, primarily related to the acquired businesses' personnel who were retained by Avnet for extended periods following the close of the acquisitions solely to assist in the integration of the acquired businesses' IT systems and administrative and logistics operations into those of Avnet. These identified personnel have no other meaningful day-to-day operational responsibilities outside of the integration effort. Transaction costs consisted primarily of professional fees for brokering the acquisitions, due diligence work and other legal costs.
Fiscal 2011
During fiscal 2011, the Company recognized restructuring, integration and other charges of $77.2 million pre-tax, $56.2 million after tax and $0.36 per share on a diluted basis associated primarily with the integration of the acquired Bell business. Restructuring costs included $28.6 million pre-tax for severance and $17.3 million pre-tax for facility exit costs for lease liabilities, fixed asset write-downs and other related charges associated with vacated facilities and $1.8 million for other charges. Integration costs were $25.1 million pre-tax and acquisition transactions costs were $15.6 million pre-tax. In addition, the Company recorded a reversal of $11.3 million pre-tax related to (i) the reversal of restructuring reserves established in prior years that were deemed no longer required, (ii) acquisition adjustments for which the purchase allocation period had closed and (iii) exit-related reserves originally established through goodwill in prior years that were deemed no longer required and were credited to the consolidated statement of operations rather than to goodwill because the associated goodwill was impaired in fiscal 2009.
Severance charges recorded in fiscal 2011 related to personnel reductions of over 550 employees in administrative, finance and sales functions primarily in connection with the integration of the acquired Bell business into the existing EM Americas, TS Americas and TS EMEA regions and, to a lesser extent, other cost reduction actions in other regions. Facility exit costs consisted of lease liabilities, fixed asset write-downs and other related charges associated with 50 vacated facilities: 23 in the Americas, 25 in EMEA and two in the Asia/Pac region. Total amounts utilized during fiscal 2012 consisted of $12.1 million in cash payments and $3.2 million related to adjustments to reserves and foreign currency translation. As of June 30, 2012, management expects the majority of the remaining severance reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2013 and the remaining facility exit cost reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2015.
23
Fiscal 2010
During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized restructuring, integration and other charges of $25.4 million pre-tax, $18.8 million after tax and $0.12 per share on a diluted basis. The Company recognized restructuring charges of $16.0 million pre-tax for the remaining cost reduction actions announced during fiscal 2009 which included severance costs, facility exit costs and other charges related to contract termination costs and fixed asset write-downs. The Company also recognized integration costs of $2.9 million pre-tax for professional fees, facility moving costs and travel, meeting, marketing and communication costs that were incrementally incurred as a result of the integration efforts of the recently acquired businesses, $6.5 million pre-tax for a value-added tax exposure in Europe related to an audit of prior years, and $3.2 million pre-tax of other charges including acquisition-related costs which would have been capitalized under the prior accounting rules. The Company also recorded a credit of $3.2 million pre-tax to adjust reserves related to prior restructuring activity which were determined no longer required.
Severance charges recorded in fiscal 2010 of $9.7 million related to personnel reductions of over 150 employees in administrative, finance and sales functions in connection with the cost reduction actions in all three regions. Facility exit costs of $3.7 million consisted of lease liabilities and fixed asset write-downs associated with seven vacated facilities in the Americas, one in EMEA and four in the Asia/Pac region. Other charges of $2.6 million consisted primarily of contractual obligations with no on-going benefit to the Company. The total amounts utilized during fiscal 2012 consisted of $1.2 million in cash payments, and $0.2 million related to adjustments to reserves and foreign currency translation. As of June 30, 2012, the remaining reserves totaled $0.8 million, which are expected to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2013.
Operating Income
During fiscal 2012, the Company generated operating income of $884.2 million, down 4.9%, as compared with $930.0 million in the prior year. Consolidated operating income margin was 3.4% as compared with 3.5% in the prior year. Both periods included restructuring, integration and other charges as described in Restructuring, Integration and Other Charges above. Excluding these charges from both periods, operating income was $957.8 million, or 3.7% of sales, in fiscal 2012 as compared with $1.01 billion, or 3.8% of sales, in the prior year. EM operating income of $751.4 million was down 9.7% year over year. While EM's operating income margin remained within management's target range of 5.0% to 5.5%, it declined 50 basis points year over year to 5.0%. This decline in EM operating income margin was primarily due to the negative operating leverage, particularly in EMEA related to the year-over-year decline in sales in fiscal 2012 due to macroeconomic conditions in the region as compared with the positive operating leverage last year due to the particularly strong sales growth in fiscal 2011. In addition, lower operating income margin in EM Asia, due to economic slowing in China, also contributed to EM's overall decline in operating income margin. The decline at EM was somewhat mitigated by the benefits from cost reduction actions taken in response to business conditions. TS operating income of $319.3 million increased 11.4% year over year and operating income margin increased 46 basis points to 3.0% primarily due to improvement in the western regions, which was driven by the combination of higher gross profit margins and the benefits from restructuring initiatives. Corporate operating expenses were $113.0 million in fiscal 2012 as compared with $112.0 million in fiscal 2011.
During fiscal 2011, the Company generated operating income of $930.0 million, an increase of 46.3% as compared with operating income of $635.6 million in fiscal 2010. The increase in operating income was attributable to the impact of acquisitions and the growth in gross profit dollars associated with the 17.1% organic sales growth. Consolidated operating income margin was 3.5% and 3.3% in fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. Both periods included restructuring, integration and other charges as described in Restructuring, Integration and Other Charges above. Excluding these charges, operating income for fiscal 2011 was $1.01 billion, or 3.8% of consolidated sales, as compared with operating income of $661.0 million, or 3.5% of consolidated sales, for fiscal 2010. EM operating income of $832.4 million increased 69.3% year over year and operating income margin increased 105 basis points to 5.5%. All three regions within EM contributed, but the improvement was primarily driven by the operating leverage in the EMEA region with its 31.9% year-over-year revenue growth. TS operating income of $286.7 million increased 13.9% year over year while operating income margin declined 57 basis points year over year to 2.5% due primarily to lower gross profit margins in the EMEA region which includes lower operating margins of the acquired businesses as compared with the other TS businesses. Corporate operating expenses were $112.0 million in fiscal 2011 as compared with $82.3 million in fiscal 2010 primarily due to net periodic pension expense recognized in fiscal 2011as compared with pension income recognized in fiscal 2010.
Interest Expense and Other Income (Expense), net
Interest expense for fiscal 2012 was $90.9 million, down $1.6 million, or 1.7%, compared with the prior year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to (i) the pay off of $104.4 million of 3.75% convertible debt in March 2011 and (ii) lower interest expense incurred under foreign bank credit facilities as compared with the prior year. See Financing Transactions for further discussion of the Company's outstanding debt.
24
Interest expense for fiscal 2011 was $92.5 million, up $30.7 million, or 49.7% from interest expense of $61.7 million in fiscal 2010. The year-over-year increase in interest expense was due to an increase in debt used to fund the acquisitions of businesses and the increase in working capital to support the significant growth in sales.
During fiscal 2012, the Company recognized $5.4 million of other expense as compared with other income of $10.7 million in the prior year. The year-over-year increase in other expense was due primarily to foreign exchange losses in fiscal 2012 compared with foreign currency exchange gains in the prior year.
Other income was $10.7 million in fiscal 2011 as compared with other expense of $2.5 million in fiscal 2010 due primarily to foreign currency exchange gains compared with losses in the prior year and higher interest income earned as compared with the prior year.
Gain on Bargain Purchase and Other
During fiscal 2012, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $4.3 million pre- and after tax and $0.03 per share on a diluted basis. In January 2012, the Company acquired Unidux Electronics Limited, a Singapore publicly traded company, through a tender offer. After assessing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the consideration paid was below the fair value of the acquired net assets and, as a result, the Company recognized the gain.
In addition to the gain on bargain purchase mentioned above, during fiscal 2012, the Company recognized other charges of $1.4 million pre-tax, $0.9 million after tax and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis related to the write-down of an investment in a small technology company and the write-off of certain deferred financing costs associated with the early termination of a credit facility (see Financing Transactions for further discussion).
During fiscal 2011, the Company acquired Unidux, a Japanese publicly traded company, through a tender offer. After reassessing all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the consideration paid was below the fair value of the acquired net assets and, as a result, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $31.0 million pre- and after tax and $0.20 per share on a diluted basis. In addition, the Company recognized other charges of $2.0 million pre-tax, $1.4 million after tax and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis primarily related to an impairment of buildings in EMEA and recognized a loss of $6.3 million pre-tax, $3.9 million after tax and $0.02 per share on a diluted basis related to the write-down of prior investments in smaller technology start-up companies.
Gain on Sale of Assets
During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized a gain on sale of assets as a result of certain earn-out provisions associated with the sale of the Company’s equity investment in Calence LLC. The gain amounted to $8.8 million pre-tax, $5.4 million after tax and $0.03 per share on a diluted basis in fiscal 2010.
Income Tax Provision
Avnet's effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 28.3% in fiscal 2012 as compared with 23.2% in fiscal 2011. Included in the fiscal 2012 effective tax rate is a net tax benefit of $8.6 million, which is comprised of (i) a tax benefit of $30.8 million for the release of tax reserves (valuation allowance) against deferred tax assets that were determined to be realizable, primarily related to a legal entity in EMEA (discussed further below), partially offset by (ii) a tax provision of $22.2 million related to changes in existing tax positions, withholding tax related to legal entity reorganizations, the establishment of tax reserves against certain deferred tax assets and U.S. tax expense associated with the release of the valuation allowance, partially offset by net favorable audit settlements. The fiscal 2012 effective tax rate is higher than the fiscal 2011 effective tax rate primarily due to a lower amount of tax reserve released in fiscal 2012 as compared with the amount released in fiscal 2011, as discussed further below, and, to a lesser extent, a more favorable impact from audit settlements and changes to existing tax positions in fiscal 2012 as compared with fiscal 2011. These favorable impacts were partially offset by the withholding tax mentioned above.
Prior to fiscal 2011, the Company had a full reserve against significant tax assets related to a legal entity in EMEA due to, among several other factors, a history of losses in that entity. In each of fiscal 2012 and 2011, the Company determined a portion of the tax reserve related to this entity was no longer required due to the expected continuation of improved earnings in the foreseeable future and, as a result, the Company's effective tax rate was positively impacted (decreased) upon the release of the tax reserves. In fiscal 2012 and 2011, the tax reserves released associated with this EMEA legal entity were $22.1 million and $64.2 million, respectively, net of the U.S. tax expense associated with the release. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a reserve against the tax assets associated with this legal entity and will adjust the reserve as deemed appropriate which, when adjusted, will result in an impact to the effective tax rate. Excluding the benefit in both fiscal years related to the release of the tax reserve associated with the EMEA legal entity, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 would have been 31.1% as compared
25
with 30.6% for fiscal 2011.
Avnet's effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 23.2% in fiscal 2011 as compared with 29.9% in fiscal 2010. The fiscal 2011 effective tax rate was impacted by a net tax benefit of $32.9 million primarily related to the EMEA legal entity release of a tax reserve, as previously mentioned, and, to a lesser extent, net favorable tax audit settlements, partially offset by changes to existing tax positions. The fiscal 2010 effective tax rate was impacted primarily by changes to estimates for existing tax positions and net favorable tax audit settlements, offset by a reserve established against certain deferred tax assets.
Avnet's effective tax rate is primarily a function of the tax rates in the numerous jurisdictions in which it does business applied to the mix of pre-tax book income. The effective tax rate may vary year over year as a result of changes in tax requirements in these jurisdictions, management's evaluation of its ability to generate sufficient taxable income to offset net operating loss carry-forwards and the establishment of reserves for unfavorable outcomes of tax positions taken on certain matters that are common to multinational enterprises and the actual outcome of those matters.
The Company is in the final stages of two audits by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, one of which relates to the Company and one relates to the pre-acquisition period of an acquired entity. As a result, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months, the Company may record a tax benefit of $30.0 million to $35.0 million, which would favorably impact the effective tax rate in the period in which the matter is effectively settled. This estimated benefit is comprised primarily of the recognition of additional net operating losses as well as the release of related reserves, partially offset by unfavorable audit adjustments.
Net Income
As a result of the factors described in the preceding sections of this MD&A, the Company’s net income in fiscal 2012 was $567.0 million, or $3.79 per share on a diluted basis, as compared with net income of $669.1 million, or $4.34 per share on a diluted basis, in fiscal 2011 and $410.4 million, or $2.68 per share on a diluted basis, in fiscal 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based upon the Company’s continuous evaluation of historical results and anticipated future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require significant judgments and estimates. Management believes the Company’s most critical accounting policies relate to:
Valuation of Receivables
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customer defaults. Bad debt reserves are recorded based upon historic default averages as well as the Company’s regular assessment of the financial condition of its customers. Therefore, if collection experience or the financial condition of specific customers were to change, management would evaluate whether additional adjustments are required.
Valuation of Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (first in — first out) or estimated market value. The Company’s inventories include high-technology components, embedded systems and computing technologies sold into rapidly changing, cyclical and competitive markets wherein such inventories may be subject to technological obsolescence.
The Company regularly evaluates inventories for excess, obsolescence or other factors that may render inventories less marketable. Write-downs are recorded so that inventories reflect the approximate net realizable value and take into account the Company’s contractual provisions with its suppliers, which may provide certain protections to the Company for product obsolescence and price erosion in the form of rights of return and price protection. Because of the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing the process around price protections and stock rotations, estimates are made regarding adjustments to the carrying amount of inventories. Additionally, assumptions about future demand, market conditions and decisions to discontinue certain product lines can impact the decision to write-down inventories. If assumptions about future demand change or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, management would evaluate whether additional write-downs of inventories are required. In any case, actual values could be different from those currently estimated.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Management's judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The carrying value of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company considers historic levels of income, expectations and risk associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing a tax valuation allowance. Should the Company determine that it is not able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an additional valuation allowance may be recorded against the deferred tax assets with a corresponding charge to income in the period such determination is made. Similarly, should the Company determine that it is able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets that have been reserved for, the Company may release a valuation allowance with a corresponding benefit to income in the period such determination is made.
27
The Company establishes reserves for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain tax matters. These reserves are based on management's assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. There may be differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these matters that may result in reversals of reserves or additional tax liabilities in excess of the reserved amounts. To the extent such adjustments are warranted, the Company's effective tax rate may potentially fluctuate as a result.
In determining the Company's effective tax rate, management considers current tax regulations in the numerous jurisdictions in which it operates, and requires management's judgment for interpretation and application. Changes to such tax regulations or disagreements with the Company's interpretation or application by tax authorities in any of the Company's major jurisdictions may have a significant impact on the Company's provision for income taxes.
Restructuring, Integration and Impairment Charges
The Company has been subject to the financial impact of integrating acquired businesses and charges related to business reorganizations. In connection with such events, management is required to make estimates about the financial impact of such matters that are inherently uncertain. Accrued liabilities and reserves are established to cover the cost of severance, facility consolidation and closure, lease termination fees, inventory adjustments based upon acquisition-related termination of supplier agreements and/or the re-evaluation of the acquired working capital assets (inventory and accounts receivable), and write-down of other acquired assets including goodwill. Actual amounts incurred could be different from those estimated.
Additionally, in assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company is required to make significant assumptions about the future cash flows and overall performance of its reporting units. The Company is also required to make judgments regarding the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below its carrying value, the results of which would determine whether an interim impairment test must be performed. Should these assumptions or judgments change in the future based upon market conditions or should the structure of the Company’s reporting units change based upon changes in business strategy, the Company may be required to perform an interim impairment test which may result in a goodwill impairment charge.
During fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined there was no goodwill impairment in any of its reporting units. The Company does not believe there were any reporting units that were at risk of failing "step 1" of the goodwill impairment test. However, there were two reporting units for which the estimated fair value was not substantially in excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit, specifically TS Asia and TS EMEA. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value was approximately 15% and 20% for TS Asia and TS EMEA, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, TS Asia and TS EMEA had approximately $58 million and $121 million, respectively, of allocated goodwill.
In order to estimate the fair value of its reporting units, the Company uses a combination of an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow methodology, and a market approach. The discounted cash flow methodology includes assumptions for, among others, forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating profit margins, working capital cash flow, perpetual growth rates and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgments and estimates by management which are inherently uncertain. These assumptions, judgments and estimates may change in the future based upon market conditions or other events and could result in a goodwill impairment charge, in particular, in the TS Asia and TS EMEA reporting units.
Contingencies and Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become a party to, or otherwise involved in, various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management does not anticipate that any current matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
28
Revenue Recognition
The Company does not consider revenue recognition to be a critical accounting policy due to the nature of its business because revenues are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met upon the actual shipment of product to the customer. Accordingly, other than for estimates related to possible returns of products from customers, discounts or rebates, the recording of revenue does not require significant judgments or estimates.
Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical sales returns, credit memo analysis and other known factors. Provisions are made for discounts and rebates, which are primarily volume-based, and are generally based on historical trends and anticipated customer buying patterns. Finally, revenues from maintenance contracts, which are deferred and recognized in income over the life of the agreement, are not material to the consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Company generated $528.7 million of cash from operating activities in fiscal 2012 as compared with $278.1 million in fiscal 2011. These results are comprised of: (1) cash flow generated from net income excluding non-cash and other reconciling items, which includes the add-back of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation and other non-cash items (primarily the provision for doubtful accounts and periodic pension costs) and (2) cash flow used for working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Cash generated by working capital in fiscal 2012 resulted from a decrease in receivables and inventory of $72.3 million and $133.2 million, respectively, offset by a decrease in payables of $319.1 million and in accrued expenses and other of $136.9 million. EM drove the decrease in receivables and inventory which more than offset the increase in receivables at TS. TS inventory was essentially flat year over year. Net days outstanding, in particular, receivable days, has not changed significantly as there has not been any significant change in terms provided to customers nor are customers changing their payment patterns.
During fiscal 2011, the Company generated $278.1 million of cash from operating activities as compared with cash used for operating activities of $30.4 million in fiscal 2010. Cash used for working capital in fiscal 2011 consisted of growth in accounts receivable and inventory of $421.5 million and $321.9 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in payables of $165.2 million. Cash used for working capital during fiscal 2010 consisted of growth in accounts receivable and inventory of $1.07 billion and $459.9 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $963.3 million. For fiscal 2010, sales increased 18.1%; however, the Company used only $30.4 million of cash from operating activities to fund that growth as a result of the significant improvement in working capital velocity which increased to a record 7.8 times.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During fiscal 2012, the Company received net proceeds of $595.8 million, primarily from borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization program and bank credit facilities. In addition, during fiscal 2012, the Company used $318.3 million of cash to repurchase common stock under the $500 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board in August 2011 (see Item 5. Market for Registrants' Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in this Form 10-K).
During fiscal 2011, the Company received proceeds of $160.0 million from borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization program and repaid $109.6 million for the 3.75% Notes acquired in the Bell acquisition which were tendered during fiscal 2011. The Company also received proceeds of $8.9 million, net of repayments, related to bank credit facilities and other debt.
During fiscal 2010, the Company received proceeds of $291.9 million from the issuance of notes, net of repayments for bank and other debt. In June 2010, the Company issued $300.0 million 5.875% Notes due June 2020 and received proceeds of $296.5 million, net of discount and underwriting fees.
29
Other financing activities, net, in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 were primarily a result of cash received for the exercise of stock options and the associated excess tax benefit.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During fiscal 2012, the Company used $313.2 million of cash for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $128.7 million for capital expenditures primarily related to system development costs and computer hardware and software purchases.
During fiscal 2011, the Company used $691.0 million of cash for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $148.7 million for capital expenditures primarily related to system development costs and computer hardware and software expenditures. Also during fiscal 2011, the Company received $19.1 million of proceeds associated with a divestiture and $10.6 million of proceeds from the sale of fixed assets.
During fiscal 2010, the Company used $112.4 million of cash for investing activities, of which $69.3 million related to acquisitions and investments. The Company also received proceeds of $11.8 million related to earn-out provisions from the prior sale of an equity method investment as well as the sale of a small cost method investment. The Company used $66.9 million for capital expenditures related to building and leasehold improvements, system development costs, computer hardware and software and received $12.0 million in proceeds primarily related to the sale of properties.
Capital Structure
The Company uses a variety of financing arrangements, both short-term and long-term, to fund its operations in addition to funds generated from cash flow from operations. The Company also uses diversified sources of funding so that it does not become overly dependent on one source and to achieve lower cost of funding through these different alternatives. These financing arrangements include public bonds, short-term and long-term bank loans and an accounts receivable securitization program. For a detailed description of the Company’s external financing arrangements outstanding at June 30, 2012, refer to Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 15 of this Report.
The following table summarizes the Company’s capital structure as of the end of fiscal 2012 with a comparison with the end of fiscal 2011:

Financing Transactions
During fiscal 2012, the Company entered into a five-year $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2012 Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, which expires in November 2016. In connection with the 2012 Credit Facility, the Company terminated its existing unsecured $500.0 million credit facility (the "2008 Credit Facility") which was to expire in September 2012. Under the 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may elect from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. As of the end of fiscal 2012, there were $110.1 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility included in “long-term debt” in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, there were $17.2 million in letters of credit issued under the 2012 Credit Facility, which represents a utilization of the 2012 Credit Facility capacity but are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as the letters of credit are not debt. As of July 2, 2011, there were $122.1 million in borrowings outstanding included in “long-term debt” in the consolidated financial statements and $16.6 million in letters of credit issued under the 2008 Credit Facility.
30
During fiscal 2012, the Company amended its accounts receivable securitization program (the "Securitization Program" or “Program”) with a group of financial institutions to allow the Company to sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest of up to $750.0 million ($600.0 million prior to the amendment) in eligible receivables while retaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the receivables. The Program does not qualify for sale treatment and, as a result, any borrowings under the Program are recorded as debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The Program contains certain covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of June 30, 2012. The Program has a one year term that expires at the end of August 2012, which is expected to be renewed for another year on comparable terms. There were $670.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Program at June 30, 2012 and $160.0 million outstanding at July 2, 2011.
Notes outstanding at June 30, 2012 consisted of:
• | $300.0 million of 5.875% Notes due March 15, 2014 |
• | $250.0 million of 6.00% Notes due September 1, 2015 |
• | $300.0 million of 6.625% Notes due September 15, 2016 |
• | $300.0 million of 5.875% Notes due June 15, 2020 |
In addition to its primary financing arrangements, the Company has several small lines of credit in various locations to fund the short-term working capital, foreign exchange, overdraft and letter of credit needs of its wholly owned subsidiaries in Europe, Asia and Canada. Avnet generally guarantees its subsidiaries' obligations under these facilities.
Covenants and Conditions
The Securitization Program discussed previously requires the Company to maintain certain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios in order to continue utilizing the Program. The Program also contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold. If these conditions are not met, the Company may not be able to borrow any additional funds and the financial institutions may consider this an amortization event, as defined in the agreement, which would permit the financial institutions to liquidate the accounts receivables sold to cover any outstanding borrowings. Circumstances that could affect the Company’s ability to meet the required covenants and conditions of the Program include the Company’s ongoing profitability and various other economic, market and industry factors. Management does not believe that the covenants under the Program limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy or its future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Program as of June 30, 2012.
The 2012 Credit Facility, discussed in Financing Transactions, contains certain covenants with various limitations on debt incurrence, dividends, investments and capital expenditures and also includes financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios. Management does not believe that the covenants in the Credit Facility limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy or its future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2012.
See Liquidity below for further discussion of the Company’s availability under these various facilities.
Liquidity
As mentioned previously, the Company amended its accounts receivable securitization program in August 2011 to increase the borrowing capacity from $600.0 million to $750.0 million. Also during fiscal 2012, the Company entered into a five-year $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility and terminated its existing $500 million facility. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had total borrowing capacity of $1.75 billion under the 2012 Credit Facility and the Securitization Program. There were $110.1 million in borrowings outstanding and $17.2 million in letters of credit issued under the 2012 Credit Facility and $670.0 million outstanding under the Securitization Program resulting in $952.7 million of net availability at the end of fiscal 2012. During fiscal 2012, the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility of approximately $115 million and $620 million under the Securitization Program. During fiscal 2011, the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the 2008 Credit Facility of approximately $140 million and $405 million under the Securitization Program.
31
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.01 billion as of June 30, 2012, of which $874.0 million was held outside the U.S. As of July 2, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $675.3 million, of which $613.2 million was held outside of the U.S. Liquidity is subject to many factors, such as normal business operations as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, and regulatory factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Cash balances generated and held in foreign locations are used for on-going working capital, capital expenditures and to support acquisitions. These balances are currently expected to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. If these funds were needed in the U.S., the Company would incur significant income taxes to repatriate cash held in foreign locations to the extent they are in excess of outstanding intercompany loans due to Avnet, Inc. from the foreign subsidiaries. In addition, local government regulations may restrict the Company’s ability to move funds among various locations under certain circumstances. Management does not believe such restrictions would limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy.
During fiscal 2012, the Company utilized $313.2 million of cash, net of cash acquired, for acquisitions. The Company has been making and expects to continue to make strategic investments through acquisition activity to the extent the investments strengthen Avnet’s competitive position and meet management’s return on capital thresholds.
In addition to continuing to make investments in acquisitions, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of the Company’s common stock through a share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in August 2011. In August 2012, the Board of Directors approved adding $250 million to the share repurchase program. With this increase, the Company may repurchase up to a total of $750 million of the Company's common stock under the share purchase program. The Company plans to repurchase stock from time to time at the discretion of management, subject to strategic considerations, market conditions and other factors. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares purchased will depend on a variety of factors such as price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and prevailing market conditions. Since inception of the program in August 2011 through the end of fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased 11.3 million shares at average market price of $28.90 per share for total cost of $325.9 million. This amount differs from the cash used for repurchases of common stock on the consolidated statement of cash flows to the extent repurchases were not settled at the end of the fiscal year. Shares repurchased were retired.
During periods of weakening demand in the electronic component and enterprise computer solutions industry, the Company typically generates cash from operating activities. Conversely, the Company is more likely to use operating cash flows for working capital requirements during periods of higher growth. During fiscal 2012, the Company generated $528.7 million in cash from operations as revenue declined 3% over the prior year. Management believes that Avnet’s borrowing capacity, its current cash availability and the Company’s expected ability to generate operating cash flows are sufficient to meet its projected financing needs.
The following table highlights the Company’s liquidity and related ratios for the past two fiscal years:

The Company’s quick assets (consisting of cash and cash equivalents and receivables) increased 3.2% from July 2, 2011 to June 30, 2012 primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents over the prior year, which was partially offset by a decrease in receivables due primarily to the impact of the change in foreign currency exchange spot rates at July 2, 2011 and the year-over-year decline in revenue. Current assets remained flat as the increase in cash and cash equivalents were offset by a decrease in receivables and inventory, also a result of the impact of the change in foreign currency exchange spot rates and the decline in sales. Current liabilities increased 7.2% primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings, which was partially offset by a decrease in payables. As a result of the factors noted above, total working capital decreased by 7.8% during fiscal 2012. Total debt increased by 41.4%, primarily due to the increase in short-term borrowings, total capital increased 8.6% and the debt to capital ratio increased to 35.4%.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company seeks to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements, from time to time, which are intended to provide a hedge against all or a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. The Company continues to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged.
The following table sets forth the scheduled maturities of the Company’s debt outstanding at June 30, 2012 (dollars in millions):

Many of the Company’s subsidiaries, on occasion, purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies. This subjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reduces this risk by utilizing natural hedging (offsetting receivables and payables) as well as by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of less than sixty days. The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks to the extent they are not hedged. The Company adjusts all foreign denominated balances and any outstanding foreign exchange contracts to fair market value through the consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, the market risk related to foreign exchange contracts is offset by changes in valuation of the underlying items being hedged. The asset or liability representing the fair value of foreign exchange contracts is classified in the captions “other current assets” or “accrued expenses and other,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. A hypothetical 10% change in currency exchange rates under the contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $53.4 million to the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts, which would generally be offset by an opposite effect on the related hedged positions.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
34
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the reporting period covered by this report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-K, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012, as stated in its audit report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Avnet, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Avnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2012. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2012, as listed in the accompanying index. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements, an opinion on the financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Avnet, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2012, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Furthermore, in our opinion, Avnet, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
