NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except for (i) the "gain on bargain purchase and other" discussed in Note 2 and (ii) the "restructuring, integration and other charges" discussed in Note 13.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 .

2. Acquisitions and divestitures

Acquisition and divestiture activity

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company acquired five businesses with aggregate annualized revenues of approximately $330.0 million for an aggregate purchase price of $97,930,000 , net of cash acquired. The aggregate purchase price includes $10,373,000 of contingent earn-out obligations, which were recorded at their estimated fair values, and can be earned based on future performance of the acquired businesses. Two of the businesses acquired are reported as part of the EM EMEA region, one is reported as part of the EM Asia region, one is reported as part of the TS Americas region, and one is reported as part of the TS EMEA region.

Also during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company received proceeds of $4,500,000 for the first payment of a three year earn-out associated with a divestiture completed in a prior year. The proceeds were applied against the earn-out receivable that was established at the time of the sale.

Gain on bargain purchase

In August 2012, the Company acquired Internix, Inc., a company publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, through a tender offer. After assessing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the consideration paid was below book value even though the price paid per share represented a premium to the trading levels at that time. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 of $31,291,000 pre- and after tax and $0.22 per share on a diluted basis.

Carrying value at September 29, 2012	$	572,975		$	582,161		$	1,155,136

The goodwill additions are a result of businesses acquired during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (see Note 2) and purchase accounting adjustments during the purchase price allocation period. The adjustment to goodwill is a result of the transfer of a business unit from EM to TS.

The following table presents the Company’s identifiable intangible assets at September 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012 , respectively. These balances are included in "other assets" and have a weighted average life of 8 years.

4. External financing

Short-term debt consists of the following:



	September 29, 2012		June 30, 2012
	(Thousands)
Bank credit facilities	$	236,271	$	201,390
Borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization program	711,000		670,000
Other debt due within one year	1,325		1,014
Short-term debt	$	948,596	$	872,404

Bank credit facilities consist of various committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions utilized primarily to support the working capital requirements of foreign operations. The weighted average interest rate on the bank credit facilities was 6.6% and 6.1% at September 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012 , respectively.

In August 2012, the Company amended its accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with a group of financial institutions to allow the Company to sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest of up to $800,000,000 ( $750,000,000 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 September 29, 2012 . The Program has a one year term that expires in August 2013 . Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.35% . The facility fee is 0.35% .

Long-term debt consists of the following:



	September 29, 2012			June 30, 2012
	(Thousands)

Discount on notes	(2,338		)	(2,471		)
Long-term debt	$	1,399,832		$	1,271,985

The Company has a five-year $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2012 Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks that expires in November 2016 . Under the 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. The 2012 Credit Facility contains certain covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of September 29, 2012 . At September 29, 2012 , there were $240,000,000 of borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility included in “Other long-term debt” in the preceding table. In addition, there were $17,309,000 in letters of credit issued under the 2012 Credit Facility, which represents a utilization of borrowing capacity but are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as the letters of credit are not debt. At June 30, 2012 , there were $110,072,000 of borrowings outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility included in “Other long-term debt” in the preceding table and $17,202,000 in letters of credit issued.

At September 29, 2012 , the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s total debt was $2,348,428,000 and $2,478,722,000 , respectively. Fair value was estimated primarily based upon quoted market prices.

5. Derivative financial instruments

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 (i.e. offsetting receivables and payables) as well as by creating offsetting positions

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

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 the foreign exchange contracts is offset by the changes in valuation of the underlying items being hedged. The asset or liability representing the fair value of foreign exchange contracts, based upon level 2 criteria under the fair value measurements standard, is classified in the captions “other current assets” or “accrued expenses and other,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and were not material. The Company did not have material gains or losses related to the forward contracts which are recorded in “other income (expense), net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company generally does not hedge its investment in its foreign operations. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and monitors the financial stability and credit standing of its counterparties.

6. Commitments and contingencies

Bell

During fiscal 2011, the Company recognized a contingent liability for potential unpaid import duties associated with the acquisition of Bell Microproducts Inc. (“Bell”). Prior to the acquisition of Bell by Avnet, Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) initiated a review of the importing process at one of Bell’s subsidiaries and identified compliance deficiencies. Subsequent to the acquisition of Bell by Avnet, CBP began a compliance audit. The Company evaluated projected duties, interest and penalties that potentially may be imposed as a result of the audit and recognized a contingent liability of $10,000,000 , which was recorded to goodwill in fiscal 2012 . Depending on the ultimate resolution of the matter with CBP, the Company estimates that the range of the potential exposure associated with the liability may be up to $73,000,000 ; however, the Company believes the contingent liability recorded is a reasonable estimate of the liability based upon the facts available at this time.

Other

From time to time, the Company may become a party to, or otherwise involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management does not anticipate that any ongoing matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

7. Income taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate on its income before income taxes was 7.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared with 29.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 . During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company's effective tax rate was favorably impacted primarily by the settlement of an audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and a non-taxable gain on a bargain purchase (see Note 2), partially offset by increases to valuation allowances and reserves. Due to the reduced level of income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the net favorable impact of these items on the effective tax rate was significant. The first quarter effective tax rate was also impacted, to a lesser extent, by the mix of income earned in the lower tax rate jurisdictions.

In April 2012, the Company received an IRS Revenue Agent's Report related to the tax audit of an acquired company which requires Joint Committee review and approval. If approved, the Company will recognize additional net operating losses as determined under the settlement as well as the release of related reserves. As a result, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the Company may record a tax benefit in the range of $15,000,000 to $17,000,000 , which would favorably impact the effective tax rate in the period in which the matter is effectively settled.

8. Pension plan

The Company’s noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covers substantially all domestic employees. Components of net periodic pension costs during the quarters ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 were as follows:



	First Quarters Ended
	September 29, 2012			October 1, 2011
	(Thousands)
Service cost	$	9,230		$	7,095
Interest cost	3,663			3,731

Recognized net actuarial loss	3,724			2,420
Amortization of prior service credit	(393		)	(469		)
Net periodic pension cost	$	9,248		$	6,043

There were $10,000,000 of contributions made to the Plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 . The Company currently expects to make additional contributions to the Plan of $10,000,000 in each of the remaining quarters of the fiscal year.

9. Share repurchase program

In August 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500,000,000 of common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. In August 2012, the Board approved an additional $250,000,000 for the share repurchase program. With this increase, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate total of $750,000,000 of the Company's common stock. 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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company repurchased 4,170,000 shares under this program at an average market price of $31.34 per share for a total cost of $130,685,000 . 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 quarter. Repurchased shares were retired. Since the beginning of the repurchase program through the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company has repurchased 15,440,000 shares of stock at an aggregate cost of $456,625,000 .

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Severance charges recorded in the first three months of fiscal 2013 related to over 600 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 400 in EM and 200 in TS. Facility exit costs for vacated facilities related to three facilities in the Americas and four in EMEA and consisted of reserves for remaining lease liabilities and the write-down of leasehold improvements and other fixed assets. Other restructuring charges related primarily to other onerous lease obligations that have no on-going benefit to the Company. Of the $30,210,000 pre-tax restructuring charges recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , $21,613,000 related to EM, $8,387,000 related to TS and the remaining related to corporate. As of September 29, 2012 , management expects the majority of the remaining severance and other reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2014 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 due diligence work and other legal costs.

Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and an understanding of the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the quarter ended September 29, 2012 , this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of this Report, as well as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 .

There are references to the impact of foreign currency translation in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens and 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. Conversely, when the weaker 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 an increase in U.S. Dollars of reported results. In the discussion that follows, this is referred to as the “translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates” and is also referred to as “constant currency.”

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, the prior year sales are adjusted for (i) the impact of the transfer of a business unit from TS Americas to EM Americas that was completed at the beginning of fiscal 2013 . 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 the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (see Restructuring, Integration and Other Charges in this MD&A).

The reconciliation to GAAP is presented in the following table:



	First Quarters Ended
	September 29, 2012		October 1, 2011
	(Thousands)
GAAP operating income	$	99,973	$	223,064
Restructuring, integration and other charges	37,408		—
Adjusted operating income	$	137,381	$	223,064

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business both including and excluding these adjustments to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. 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.

OVERVIEW

Organization

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.

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”). A brief summary of each operating group is provided below:

•

EM markets and sells semiconductors and interconnect, passive and electromechanical devices (“IP&E”) and embedded products for the world’s leading electronic component manufacturers. EM markets and sells its products and services to a diverse customer base serving many end-markets including automotive, communications, computer hardware and peripheral, industrial and manufacturing, medical equipment, military and aerospace. EM also offers an array of value-added services that help customers evaluate, design-in and procure electronic components throughout the lifecycle of their technology products and systems. By working with EM, customers and suppliers can accelerate their time to market and realize cost efficiencies in both the design and manufacturing process.

•

As a global IT solutions distributor, TS collaborates with its customers and suppliers to create and deliver services, software and hardware solutions that address the business needs of end-user customers locally and around the world. TS focuses on the global value-added distribution of enterprise computing servers and systems, software, storage, services and complex solutions from the world’s foremost technology manufacturers, marketing and selling them to and through the VAR channel. TS also serves the worldwide OEM market for computing technology, system integrators and non-PC OEMs that require embedded systems and solutions including engineering, product prototyping, integration and other value-added services. The operating group has sales and marketing divisions dedicated to these customer segments as well as independent software vendors.

Results of Operations

Executive Summary

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was lower than management's expectations as a result of slower growth in the technology end markets. Revenue of $ 5.87 billion decreased by 8.7% from the first quarter of fiscal 2012 revenue of $6.43 billion . Revenue on an organic basis was down 11.3% year over year and down 8.4% excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The slowing growth was significantly more pronounced in the higher-margin western regions in both operating groups, which had a significant impact on operating income dollars and margins. The EM and TS Americas regions experienced a combined organic revenue decline of 14% year over year and sequentially, both of which were below management's expectations.

Gross profit margin of 11.7% decreased 7 basis points over the prior year first quarter and declined 37 basis points sequentially. EM gross profit margin was down 27 basis points year over year primarily due to the significant decline in sales in the higher-margin Americas region, which resulted in the lower-margin Asia region representing a larger portion of EM sales. TS gross profit margin held relatively steady year over year with only a 4 basis points decline, but declined 46 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year declines in the EMEA and Asia regions offset the increase in the Americas region.

The negative operating leverage resulting from the lower sales and the accompanying loss of gross profit dollars in the western regions had a significant impact on operating profit dollars and margins. Consolidated operating income margin declined 177 basis points as compared with the prior year first quarter. Excluding the restructuring, integration and other charges in both periods, operating income margin was 2.3% as compared with 3.5% in the prior year first quarter, a decline of 113 basis points. EM operating income of $146.3 million declined 23.5% year over year and operating income margin decreased 101 basis points year over year to 4.0%. This decline in EM operating income margin was primarily due to negative operating leverage resulting from lower revenue in the western regions. TS operating income of $34.4 million decreased 47.1% year over year and operating income margin decreased 94 basis points to 1.6% primarily due to the significant decline in sales and the resulting negative leverage impact on profitability in the Americas region.

In response to the decline in profitability, the Company has been taking, and continues to identify, expense reduction actions. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company took expense reduction actions in response to slowing growth in the technology markets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, management revised its outlook on growth expectations based on business conditions at that time and took additional steps to align its resources to expected growth. Management estimates that since the end of June 2012, it will realize approximately $90 million in annualized cost benefits in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 based on actions taken to date. In addition, due to the continuing weak business environment, the Company is in the process of identifying further cost reduction actions as necessary to improve profitability.

Altron GmbH & Co KG acquired in July 2012 in the EM EMEA region

Mattelli Limited acquired in July 2012 in the TS EMEA region

Pepperweed Consulting acquired in August 2012 in the TS Americas region

C.R.G. Electronics, Ltd. acquired in August 2012 in the EM EMEA region

Internix, Inc. acquired in August 2012 in the EM Asia region

Consolidated sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $5.87 billion , a decrease of 8.7% , or $555.9 million , from the prior year first quarter consolidated sales of $6.43 billion . Organic sales (as defined earlier in this MD&A) decreased 11.3% year over year and 8.4% excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Americas and EMEA regions in both operating groups experienced double-digit revenue declines. On a sequential basis, organic sales decreased 7.4% and decreased 6.9% excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which is below normal seasonality of approximately flat to down 4% for a September quarter.

EM sales of $3.65 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 4.3% from the prior year first quarter sales of $3.82 billion . EM organic revenue in constant currency decreased 4.8% year over year and decreased 3.2% sequentially as compared with a typical sequential growth range of approximately up 1% to down 3% and was at the low end of normal seasonality for the third consecutive quarter. On a regional basis, the Americas organic revenue declined 11.0% year over year, which was below expectations, EMEA declined 4.9% year over year in constant currency and Asia revenue increased 1.1% year over year, which was higher than expected. This regional shift in the mix of sales between the lower-margin Asia region and the higher-margin western regions negatively impacted gross profit margin, as discussed further below.

TS sales of $2.22 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 15.1% from the prior year first quarter sales of $2.61 billion . Organic revenue decreased 16.3% year over year primarily due to the western regions and, to a lesser extent, Asia. In the Americas region, organic sales decreased 18.2%, EMEA decreased 11.7% in constant currency and Asia decreased 5.9%. The weakness in the EMEA region represented the third consecutive quarter of double-digit declines in organic revenue. On a product level, servers and computing components experienced double-digit declines year over year.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margins

Consolidated gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $684.4 million , a decrease of $69.2 million , or 9.2% , from the prior year first quarter and decreased 10.6% on a pro forma basis in constant currency due primarily to the decline in sales. Gross profit margin of 11.7% declined 7 basis points over the prior year first quarter and declined 37 basis points sequentially. EM gross profit margin was down 27 basis points year over year primarily due to the significant revenue decline in the Americas region which resulted in the lower-margin Asia region representing a larger portion of EM revenue. The Asia region revenue represented 39% of the total EM revenue as compared with 34% in the prior year first quarter. TS gross profit margin held relatively steady year over year with only a 4 basis points decline, but declined 46 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year declines in the EMEA and Asia regions offset the increase in the Americas region.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) were $547.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , an increase of $16.5 million , or 3.1% , from the prior year first quarter. This $16.5 million increase consisted of (i) approximately $37 million related to an increase in expenses from businesses acquired, (ii) approximately $1.5 million related to an increase in expenses for the existing business, which was tempered by the recent cost reduction actions taken, partially offset by (iii) approximately $22 million related to a decrease due to the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 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 the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales were 9.3% and as a percentage of gross profit were 79.9% as compared with 8.3% and 70.4% , respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 . SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit at TS and EM increased 1,004 basis points and 687 basis points, year over year, respectively, primarily due to the decline in gross profit dollars resulting from lower sales.

Restructuring, Integration and Other Charges

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company initiated expense reduction actions in both operating groups in response to continued weakness in business conditions. In addition, the Company incurred acquisition and integration costs associated with recently acquired businesses. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring, integration and other charges of $37.4 million pre-tax, $27.1 million after tax and $0.19 per share on a diluted basis for the first quarter. Restructuring charges of $30.2 million pre-tax consisted of $25.9 million for severance, $4.0 million for facility exit costs and fixed asset write-downs and $0.3 million for other restructuring charges. Pre-tax integration costs and acquisition transaction costs were $5.0 million and $2.8 million , respectively. In addition, the Company recorded a credit of $0.6 million pre-tax to adjust reserves related to prior year restructuring activity that were no longer required.

Severance charges recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 related to over 600 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 400 in EM and 200 in TS. Facility exit costs for vacated facilities related to three facilities in the Americas and four in EMEA and consisted of reserves for remaining lease liabilities and the write-down of leasehold improvements and other fixed assets. The Company anticipates that these actions, in combination with the actions taken during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, will result in approximately $90 million in annualized expense reductions in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. As mentioned previously, the Company is in the process of identifying additional expense reduction actions that will also benefit future quarters.

Operating Income

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company generated operating income of $100.0 million , down 55.2% , as compared with $223.1 million in the prior year first quarter. Consolidated operating income margin was 1.7% as compared with 3.5% in the prior year first quarter. 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 $137.4 million , or 2.3% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared with $223.1 million , or 3.5% of sales, in the prior year first quarter. EM operating income of $146.3 million declined 23.5% year over year and operating income margin decreased 101 basis points year over year to 4.0%. This decline in EM operating income margin was primarily due to negative operating leverage resulting from significantly lower revenue in the western regions. TS operating income of $34.4 million decreased 47.1% year over year and operating income margin decreased 94 basis points to 1.6% primarily due to the significant revenue decline in the Americas region. Corporate operating expenses were $43.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared with $33.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 . As previously mentioned, as a result of the continuing weakness in business conditions, the Company is in process of identifying further cost reduction actions necessary to improve profitability.

Interest Expense and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $23.9 million , increased $2.0 million or 9.2% , as compared with interest expense of $21.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 . See Financing Transactions for further discussion of the Company’s outstanding debt.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company recognized $1.5 million of other income as compared with other expense of $5.4 million in the prior year, which consisted primarily of foreign exchange losses.

Gain on Bargain Purchase and Other

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $31.3 million pre- and after tax and $0.22 per share on a diluted basis. In August 2012, the Company acquired Internix, Inc. a company publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, 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.

Income Tax Provision

The Company’s effective tax rate on its income before income taxes was 7.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared with 29.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 . During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company's effective tax rate was favorably impacted primarily by the settlement of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service and a non-taxable gain on bargain purchase (as mentioned previously), partially offset by increases to valuation allowances and reserves. Due to the reduced level of income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the net favorable impact of these items on the effective tax rate was significant. The first quarter effective tax rate was also impacted, to a lesser extent, by the mix of income earned in the lower tax rate jurisdictions.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described in the preceding sections of this MD&A, the Company’s consolidated net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $100.3 million , or $0.70 per share on a diluted basis, as compared with $139.0 million , or $0.90 per share on a diluted basis, in the prior year first quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company generated $81.0 million of cash from its operating activities as compared with cash usage of $204.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 . These results are comprised of: (i) 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 (ii) cash flow used for working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Cash used for working capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 consisted of a reduction in accounts payable of $382.9 million, primarily resulting from reduced inventory purchases in response to lower customer bookings, which offset a decrease in receivables and inventory of $277.7 million and $102.7 million, respectively. Net days outstanding has not changed significantly as there has not been any significant change in terms provided to customers nor have customers significantly changed their payment patterns. Comparatively, cash used for working capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily driven by a reduction in payables of $373.8 million with both EM and TS contributing to the reduction. In addition, inventory increased $89.0 million, primarily attributable to EM, which was partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable of $125.4 million.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company received net proceeds of $172.1 million primarily from the 2012 Credit Facility and borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization program. In addition, the Company used $128.7 million of cash to repurchase common stock under the share repurchase program authorized by the Company's Board of Directors (see

Part II, Item 2 . Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds in this Form 10-Q). During the first quarter of fiscal 2012 , the Company received net proceeds of $389.0 million primarily from borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization program and bank credit facilities. In addition, the Company used $81.9 million of cash to repurchase common stock under the share repurchase program.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company used $87.2 million of cash for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, received proceeds of $4.5 million for an earn-out payment associated with a divestiture completed in a prior year and used $24.4 million for capital expenditures primarily related to system development costs and computer hardware and software purchases. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012 , the Company used $103.2 million of cash for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $39.7 million for capital expenditures primarily related to system development costs and computer hardware and software expenditures.

Capital Structure and Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Company’s capital structure as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 with a comparison to fiscal 2012 year-end:



	September 29, 2012		% of Total Capitalization	June 30, 2012		% of Total Capitalization
	(Dollars in thousands)
Short-term debt	$	948,596	15.0%	$	872,404	14.4%
Long-term debt	1,399,832		22.1	1,271,985		21.0
Total debt	2,348,428		37.1	2,144,389		35.4
Shareholders’ equity	3,979,783		62.9	3,905,732		64.6
Total capitalization	$	6,328,211	100.0%	$	6,050,121	100.0%

For a description of the Company’s long-term debt and lease commitments for the next five years and thereafter, see Long-Term Contractual Obligations appearing in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 . With the exception of the Company’s debt transactions discussed herein, there are no material changes to this information outside of normal lease payments.

The Company does not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

Financing Transactions

The Company has a five-year $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2012 Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks that expires November 2016 . Under the 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may elect from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , there were $240.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility included in “long-term debt” in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, there were $17.3 million in letters of credit issued which represent a utilization of borrowing capacity but are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as the letters of credit are not debt. As of June 30, 2012 , there were $110.1 million in borrowings outstanding included in “long-term debt” in the consolidated financial statements and $17.2 million in letters of credit issued under the 2008 Credit Facility.

In August 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 $800.0 million ( $750.0 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 September 29, 2012 . The Program has a one year term that expires in August 2012. There were $711.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Program at September 29, 2012 and $670.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2012 .

Notes outstanding at September 29, 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 2012 Credit Facility 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 2012 Credit Facility limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy or future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the 2012 Credit Facility as of September 29, 2012 .

The Program 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 future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Program as of September 29, 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 2012 to increase the borrowing capacity from $750.0 million to $800.0 million . As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company had a combined total borrowing capacity of $1.8 billion under the 2012 Credit Facility and the Program. There were $240.0 million in borrowings outstanding and $17.3 million in letters of credit issued under the 2012 Credit Facility and $711.0 million outstanding under the Program, resulting in $831.7 million of net availability at the end of the first quarter. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility of approximately $180 million and approximately $710 million under the Program. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012 , the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the 2008 Credit Facility of approximately $30 million and approximately $430 million under the Program.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.04 billion as of September 29, 2012 , of which $916.2 million was held outside the U.S. As of June 30, 2012 , the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.01 billion , of which $874.0 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 expenditure needs and to support acquisitions. These balances are currently expected to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. If these funds were needed for general corporate use in the U.S., the Company would incur significant income taxes to repatriate cash held in foreign locations but only to the extent the repatriated cash is 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 the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company utilized $87.2 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 $750.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock through a share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in August 2011 of $500.0 million and an additional $250.0 million approved by the Board in August 2012. 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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 , the Company repurchased 4.2 million shares at average market price of $31.34 per share for total cost of $130.7 million . Since the beginning of the repurchase program through the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company has repurchased 15.4 million shares of stock at an aggregate cost of $456.6 million . (See

Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds in this Form 10-Q for further information.) 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 also more likely to use operating cash flows for working capital requirements during periods of higher growth. During the first three months of fiscal 2013 , the Company generated $81.0 million of cash from operations as revenue declined and has generated $813.8 million of cash from operations over the trailing twelve month period. Management believes that Avnet’s borrowing capacity, its current cash availability and the Company’s expected ability to generate operating cash flows in the future are sufficient to meet its projected financing needs.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS — LIQUIDITY

(Dollars in millions)

The following table highlights the Company’s liquidity and related ratios as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 with a comparison to the fiscal 2012 year-end:



	September 29, 2012			June 30, 2012			Percentage Change
Current Assets	$	8,118.8		$	8,254.4		(1.6	)%
Quick Assets	5,521.0			5,614.2			(1.7	)
Current Liabilities	4,545.4			4,798.7			(5.3	)
Working Capital (1)	3,573.4			3,455.7			3.4
Total Debt	2,348.4			2,144.4			9.5
Total Capital (total debt plus total shareholders’ equity)	6,328.2			6,050.1			4.6
Quick Ratio	1.2:1			1.2:1
Working Capital Ratio	1.8:1			1.7:1
Debt to Total Capital	37.1		%	35.4		%

_____________________


(1)	This calculation of working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.

The Company’s quick assets (consisting of cash and cash equivalents and receivables) decreased 1.7% and current assets decreased 1.6% from June 30, 2012 to September 29, 2012 due primarily to the decrease in accounts receivable since the prior fiscal year end. Current liabilities decreased 5.3% primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable. The decreases in current assets and liabilities were partially offset by the impact of the change in foreign currency exchange spot rates since fiscal year end. As a result of the factors noted above, total working capital increased by 3.4% during the first three months of fiscal 2013 . Total debt increased by 9.5% , primarily due to the increase in borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility and the accounts receivable securitization program, total capital increased 4.6% and the debt to capital ratio increased as compared with June 30, 2012 to 37.1% .

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

None.


Item 3.	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.

See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk , in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 for further discussion of market risks associated with interest rates and foreign currency exchange. Avnet’s exposure to foreign exchange risks have not changed materially since June 30, 2012 as the Company continues to hedge the majority of its foreign exchange exposures. Thus, any increase or decrease in fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange contracts is generally offset by an opposite effect on the related hedged position.

See Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financing Transactions appearing in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the Company’s financing facilities and capital structure. As of September 29, 2012 , 49% of the Company’s debt bears interest at a fixed rate and 51% of the Company’s debt bears interest at variable rates. Therefore, a hypothetical 1.0% (100 basis points) increase in interest rates would result in a $3.0 million impact on income before income taxes in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended September 29, 2012 .


Item 4.	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) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the reporting period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. 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 quarterly report on Form 10-Q, 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 first quarter of fiscal 2013 , t here 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.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	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 associated with the environmental clean up of sites in which the Company is participating.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are also parties to various 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, cash flow or results of operations.


Item 1A.	Risk Factors

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. You can find many of these statements by looking for words like “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “estimates” or similar expressions in this Report or in documents incorporated by reference in this Report. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 , could affect the Company’s future results, and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements:


•	the effect of global economic conditions, including the current global economic uncertainty;


•	general economic and business conditions (domestic and foreign) affecting Avnet’s financial performance and, indirectly, Avnet’s credit ratings, debt covenant compliance, and liquidity and access to financing;


•	competitive pressures among distributors of electronic components and computer products resulting in increased competition for existing customers or otherwise;


•	adverse effects on our supply chain, shipping costs, customers and suppliers, including as a result of issues caused by natural and weather-related disasters;


•	risks relating to our international sales and operations, including risks relating to the ability to repatriate funds, foreign currency fluctuations, duties and taxes, and compliance with international and U.S. laws that apply to our international operations;


•	cyclicality in the technology industry, particularly in the semiconductor sector;


•	allocation of products by suppliers; and


•	legislative or regulatory changes affecting Avnet’s businesses.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made.

The discussion of Avnet’s business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and

uncertainties to which the Company is or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect Avnet’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. As of September 29, 2012 , there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 2.	Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In August 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s common stock through a share repurchase program. During August 2012, the Board approved an additional $250 million for the share repurchase program.
