Forward-looking statements are those statements which are not statements of historical or current fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by forward-looking words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “believes,” “seeks,” “projected,” “potential,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: unfavorable economic conditions or changes, including those that may occur in connection with recession, inflation, tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or the availability of capital; impacts of military conflict and sanctions; political instability and changes; trade protection measures, tariffs, increased trade tensions, trade agreements and policies, and other restrictions, duties, and value-added taxes, and the associated macroeconomic impacts; disruptions, shortages, or inefficiencies in the supply chain; non-compliance with certain laws, regulations, or executive orders, such as trade, export, antitrust, and anti-corruption laws, or regulatory restrictions relating to the company or its subsidiaries or the permissibility of third parties to transact therewith; the inability to realize sufficient sales to cover non-cancellable purchase obligations under certain ECS distribution agreements; changes in relationships with key suppliers; management transitions, including the company’s search for a permanent CEO; changes in product supply, pricing, and customer demand; increased profit-margin pressure resulting from industry conditions, competition, or other factors; other vagaries in the Global Components and the Global ECS markets; changes to applicable laws, regulations, executive orders, or rules relating to government contractors and the resulting legal and reputational exposure, including but not limited to those relating to environmental, social, governance, cybersecurity, data privacy, and artificial intelligence issues; commercial disputes, patent infringement claims, product liability lawsuits, or other legal proceedings; foreign tax and other loss contingencies; failure, disruption, or compromise of the company’s information systems or those of a third-party service provider, including unauthorized use or disclosure of company, supplier, or customer information; outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, or public health crises; the effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events; and the company’s ability to generate positive cash flow. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in other filings the company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements. Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, the company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information in the sections below captioned “Sales by Reportable Segment,” “Gross Profit,” “Operating Expenses,” “Operating Income,” “Income Tax,” and “Net Income Attributable to Shareholders.” Refer to these sections below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable reported GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial information includes the following: [[GREPCENT_TABLE]] [["","\u25cf","Non-GAAP sales exclude the impact of changes in foreign currencies by retranslating prior period results at current period foreign exchange rates."]] [[/GREPCENT_TABLE]] [[GREPCENT_TABLE]] [["","\u25cf","Non-GAAP gross profit excludes inventory recoveries related to the wind down of businesses within Global Components (\u201cimpact of wind down to inventory\u201d) and impact of changes in foreign currencies."]] [[/GREPCENT_TABLE]] [[GREPCENT_TABLE]] [["","\u25cf","Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization; restructuring, integration, and other; and impact of changes in foreign currencies."]] [[/GREPCENT_TABLE]] [[GREPCENT_TABLE]] [["","\u25cf","Non-GAAP operating income excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization; restructuring, integration, and other; and impact of wind down to inventory."]] [[/GREPCENT_TABLE]] ​ 30 Table of Contents [[GREPCENT_TABLE]] [["","\u25cf","Non-GAAP effective income tax rate and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization; restructuring, integration, and other; impact of wind down to inventory; gain on investments, net; and tax adjustments related to wind down of a business."]] [[/GREPCENT_TABLE]] Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to better assess and understand the company’s operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management, especially when comparing results with previous periods. Management typically monitors the business as adjusted for these items, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting purposes, for short-term and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate the company’s financial performance. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. For a discussion of what is included within “Restructuring, integration, and other” and “Gain on investments, net” refer to the similarly captioned sections of these items below. Key Business Metrics Management uses gross billings as an operational metric to monitor the operating performance of Global ECS, including performance by geographic region, as it provides meaningful supplemental information in evaluating the overall performance of the Global ECS business. The company uses this key metric to develop financial forecasts, make strategic decisions, and prepare and approve annual budgets. Gross billings represent amounts invoiced to customers for goods and services during a specified period and does not include the impact of recording sales on a net basis or sales adjustments, such as trade discounts and other allowances. Refer to Note 1 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for further discussion of the company’s revenue recognition policies. The use of gross billings has certain limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue.

Management typically monitors the business as adjusted for these items, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting purposes, for short-term and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate the company’s financial performance. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. For a discussion of what is included within “Restructuring, integration, and other” and “Gain (loss) on investments, net” refer to the similarly captioned sections of this item below. Key Business Metrics Management uses gross billings as an operational metric to monitor the operating performance of global ECS, including performance by geographic region, as it provides meaningful supplemental information in evaluating the overall performance of the global ECS business. The company uses this key metric to develop financial forecasts, make strategic decisions, and prepare and approve annual budgets. Gross billings represent amounts invoiced to customers for goods and services during a specified period and does not include the impact of recording sales on a net basis or sales adjustments, such as trade discounts and other allowances. Refer to Note 1 -  “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within Item 8 for further discussion of the company’s revenue recognition policies. The use of gross billings has certain limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue.
