Services Solutions Offerings

We have developed solutions that integrate hardware, software and services to help businesses run smarter within our key solutions areas. Our core solutions include:

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

Modern Applications: Custom-developed mobile, cloud and IoT applications. Typically, these applications are specific to the client vertical market, e.g., healthcare, financial services or retail.

We have invested in cloud, mobility, big data and security capabilities and expertise to enable our key solutions areas and continuously seek to identify client-relevant technology solutions.

Cloud. Cloud computing represents an evolution in the IT world. Cloud-based SaaS, whereby clients subscribe to software that is hosted either by the software publisher or a dedicated third-party hosting company, is prevalent in the Connected Workforce and Cloud and Data Center Transformation solutions highlighted above. In addition, public IaaS and converged infrastructure private cloud represent growing portions of Hybrid Cloud solutions. We help clients assess readiness, architect appropriate solutions and migrate to both public and private cloud infrastructures.

Mobility.Our clients must engage differently with their customers and fully engage their workforce whether they are at work, at home oron-the-go. We help clients do so through solutions starting with Insight Managed Mobility, anas-a-service like Enterprise Mobility Management (EMS) solution for employees, and modern customer-facing solutions, such as mobile Point of Sale (mPOS) and mobile commerce applications in the retail industry as well as mobile trading applications for brokerage customers in the financial services industry.

Big Data. Our clients are inundated with data that they struggle to interpret. We help turn this data into actionable insights with solutions such as weather-based predictive analytics to drive weekly marketing campaigns for consumer products and patient-based intake and health outcomes analysis to optimize nurse staffing. We expect the proliferation of sensors for IoT will fuel this data overload and drive further demand for these solutions.

Security. All of these solutions must be delivered without compromising customer, company or employee private information. We offer services for identity and access management,single-sign-on (SSO) and mobile-device-management (MDM) to protect end users. In addition, we provide network security and Security Incident Event Management (SIEM) solutions to secure our clients’ infrastructure.

Hardware Offerings

We offer products from hundreds of manufacturers, including such industry leaders as Cisco, HP Inc., Lenovo, Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”), EMC, Microsoft, NetApp, Apple and IBM. Our scale and purchasing power, combined with our efficient, high-volume and cost effective direct sales and marketing model, allow us to offer competitive prices. We believe that offering choices from multiple partners enables us to better serve our clients by providing a variety of product solutions to address their specific business needs.

In addition to our distribution facilities, we have “direct-ship” programs with many of our partners, including manufacturers and distributors, allowing us to expand our product offerings without increasing inventory, handling costs or inventory risk exposure. As a result, we are able to offer billions of dollars of products in virtual inventory in fulfilling our performance obligations to our clients. Convenience and product options among multiple brands are key competitive advantages compared to manufacturers’ direct selling programs, which are generally limited to their own brands and may not offer clients a complete orbest-in-class solution across all product categories.

Software Offerings

Our clients acquire software applications from us in the form of licensing agreements with software publishers or boxed products. We offer products from hundreds of publishers, including such industry leaders as Microsoft, Adobe, VMware, Symantec, McAfee, Citrix, IBM Software and Red Hat, as well as newer entrants, such as Box and 8x8.

As software publishers choose different models for implementing licensing agreements, businesses must evaluate the alternatives to ensure that they select the appropriate agreements and comply with the publishers’ licensing terms when purchasing and managing their software licenses. In addition to software provisioning, we offer holistic software solutions, including software licensing optimization and implementation consulting, to help our clients better understand their software needs, evaluate their existing software and provide options to optimize their assets.

Our Partners

We partner with market leaders offering the top technology brands as well as emerging entrants in the marketplace. During 2017,2022, we purchased and resold products and software from approximately 5,400 over 6,000partners. Approximately 66%55% (based on dollar volume) of these purchases were directly from manufacturers or software publishers, with the balance purchased through distributors. Purchases from Microsoft and Techdata (a distributor)accounted for approximately 26%22% and 10%, respectively, of our aggregate purchases in 2017.2022. No other partner accounted for more than 10% of purchases in 2017.2022.

software sales are typically higher in our second and fourth quarters, particularly the second quarter;

business clients, particularly larger enterprise businesses in the United States, tend to spend more in our fourth quarter and less in the first quarter;

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

sales to the federal government in the United States are often stronger in our third quarter, while sales in the state and local government and education markets are stronger in our second quarter; and

sales to public sector clients in the United Kingdom are often stronger in our first quarter.

These trends create overall seasonality in our consolidated results such that sales and profitability are expected to be higher in the second and fourth quarters of the year.

Our Backlog

The majority of our backlog historically has been and continues to be open cancelable purchase orders.orders; however, we have not experienced significant cancellations historically. Our backlog has fluctuated significantly in the past year, primarily due to the mix of products available and our client's responses to supply chain constraints. Continuing supply chain constraints were not fully alleviated in 2022 and we expect our elevated backlog in certain categories, particularly data center and infrastructure, exiting the fourth quarter of 2022 may benefit the Company's financial results in the first half of 2023. We do not believe that backlog as of any particular date is predictive of future results.

Risks Related to Our Business, Operations and Industry
The IT hardware, software and services industry is intensely competitive, and actions of our competitors, including manufacturers and publishers of products we sell, can negatively affect our business.Competition in the industry is based on price, product availability, speed of delivery, credit availability, quality and breadth of product lines, and, increasingly, on the ability to provide services and tailor specific solutions to meet client needs. Many of our manufacturer and publisher partners are also our competitors, as many sell directly to business customers, particularly largerlarge enterprise and corporate customers. In addition to the manufacturers and publishers of products we sell, we compete with a large number and wide variety of providers and resellers of IT hardware, software and services. We believe our industry will see further consolidation as product resellers and direct marketers combine operations or acquire or merge with other resellers, service providers and direct marketers to increase efficiency, service capabilities and market share. Moreover, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their product and service offerings. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and acquire significant market share.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

The competitive landscape in which we operate continues to change as new technologies are developed. While innovation helps our business as it creates new offerings for us to sell, it can also disrupt our business model and create new and stronger competitors. For instance, while cloud-based solutions present an opportunity for us and make up a significant part of our business and future, cloud-based solutions and technologies that deliver technology solutionsas-a-servicedeveloped by manufacturer and publisher partners could increase the amount of salesbe sold directly to customers rather than throughutilizing solutions providers like us, or such partners could otherwise reduce the amount of hardware or software we sell, leading to a reduction in our sales and/or profitability. Accordingly, we are dependent on continued innovations by our current vendor partners and our ability to partner with new and emerging technology providers.

Generally, pricing competition is very aggressive in the industry, and we expect pricing pressures to continue. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate prices as favorable as those negotiated by our competitors or that we will be able to offset the effects of price reductions with an increase in the number of clients, higher net sales, cost reductions greateror higher sales of services, which are typically at higher gross margins, or otherwise. Price reductions by our competitors that we either cannot or choose not to match could result in an erosion of our market share and/or reduced sales or, to the extent we match such reductions, could result in

reduced operating margins or inventory impairment charges, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Some of our competitors in each of our operating segments may have greater technical, marketing and other resources than we do. In addition, some of these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and client requirements. Many current and potential competitors also may have greater name recognition and engage in more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to their customers and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we do. Additionally, some of our competitors have higher margins and/or lower operating cost structures, allowing them to price more aggressively. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on our partners for product availability, competitive products to sell and marketing funds and purchasing incentives, which can change significantly in the amounts made available and the requirements year over year. We acquire products for resale both directly from manufacturers and publishers and indirectly through distributors, and the loss of a significant partner relationship could cause a disruption in the availability of products to us. ThereWe typically do not have long-term contracts with our vendor partners. As such, many of these arrangements with partners are easily terminable, and there can be no assurance that manufacturers and publishers will continue to sell or will not limit or curtail the availability of their product to resellers like us. The loss of, or change in business relationship with, any of our key vendor partners could negatively impact our business.

In addition, certain manufacturers, publishers and distributors provide us with substantial incentives in the form of rebates, marketing funds and other investments, purchasing incentives, early payment discounts, referral fees and price protections (collectively, “partner funding”). Partner funding is used to offset, among other things, inventory costs, costs of goods sold, marketing costs and other operating expenses. Certain of these funds are based on our volume of sales or purchases, growth rate of net sales, increases in client usage, or purchases and marketing programs. If we do not meet the goals of these programs or if we are not in compliance with the terms of these programs, there could be a material negative effect on the amount of incentives offered or paid to us by manufacturers and publishers. We continue toregularly experience adverse partner funding program changes that reduce the incentives many partners make available to us and that change the requirements for earning such incentives. If we are unable to react timely to remediate and effectively respond to these changes in the partner funding programs of publishers and manufacturers, including the elimination of, or significant reductions in, partner funding for some of the activities for which we have been compensated in the past, the changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This is especially true in connection with the incentive programs of our largest partners: Microsoft, Dell, Cisco Systems, HP Inc. and Lenovo. There can be no assurance that we will continue to receive such incentives in the future.

We may not be able to keep pace with rapidly evolving technological advances and the evolving competitive marketplace in which we sell our service offerings. Our success depends on our ability to continue to develop and implement services and solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid and continuing changes in technology and market demand to serve the needs of our clients. For example, cloud, security, and digital-related solutions are continuously evolving, and there is rapid development and technological evolution in areas such as IoT, edge-computing, computer vision, advanced machine learning and AI, automation, augmented reality, blockchain and as-a-service solutions. If we do not invest sufficiently in new technologies, successfully adapt to industry developments and evolving client demand at sufficient speed and scale, we may be unable to develop or maintain a competitive advantage in the market

and execute on our growth strategy and initiatives, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
General economic and political conditions, including unfavorable conditions in a particular region, business or industry sector, may lead our clients to delay or forgo investments in IT hardware, software and services.Weak economic conditions generally or any broad-based reduction in IT spending, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, would adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. A prolonged slowdown in the global economy, including the possibility of recession or financial market instability or similar crisis, or in a particular region or business or industry sector, or the tightening of credit markets, could cause our clients to have difficulty accessing capital and credit sources, delay contractual payments, or delay or forgo decisions to upgrade or add to their existing IT environments, license new software or purchase products or services (particularly with respect to discretionary spending for hardware, software and services). Such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Economic or industry downturns could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of our expectations. A significant deterioration in our ability to collect on accounts receivable could also impact the cost or availability of financing under our accounts receivable securitization program.
Our sales to public sector clients are also impacted by government spending policies, government shutdowns, budget priorities and revenue levels. An adverse change in government spending policies (including budget cuts at the federal, state and local level), budget priorities or revenue levels could cause our public sector clients to reduce their purchases or to terminate or not renew their contracts with us. These possible actions or the adoption of new or modified procurement regulations or practices could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Worldwide economic conditions and market volatility as a result of political leadership in certain countries and other disruptions to global and regional economies and markets, including continuing increases in inflation and interest rates, the possibility of recession, or financial market instability, may impact future business activities.External factors, such as potential terrorist attacks, acts of war, geopolitical and social turmoil or epidemics and other similar outbreaks in many parts of the world, could prevent or hinder our ability to do business, increase our costs and negatively affect our stock price. More generally, these geopolitical, social and economic conditions could result in increased volatility in the United States and worldwide in financial markets and in the economy, as well as other adverse impacts. For example, on February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military actions against Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region remains ongoing. Potential impacts related to the conflict include further market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, supply chain and logistics disruptions, adverse global economic conditions resulting from escalating geopolitical tensions, volatility and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, inflationary pressures on raw materials and heightened cybersecurity threats, all of which could adversely impact our business, particularly our European operations.

Political developments, economic instability or natural disasters impacting international trade, including continued uncertainty surrounding the Referendum on the United Kingdom’s Membership in the European Union (“EU”) (referred to as “Brexit”) and, political tensions, trade disputes and increased tariffs, particularly between the United States and China, may also negatively impact markets and cause weaker macroeconomic conditions or drive sentiment that weakens demand for our products and services. Potential adverse consequences of Brexit such as global market uncertainty and increased regulatory complexities could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in the IT industry and/or rapid changes in technology may reduce demand for the IT hardware, software and services we sell or change who makes purchasing decisions for IT hardware, software and services. Our results of operations are influenced by a variety of factors, including the condition of the IT industry, shifts in demand for, or availability of, IT hardware, software, peripherals and services, and industry innovation and the introduction of new products.products and technologies. The IT industry is characterized by rapid technological change and the frequent introduction of new products and changing delivery channels and models, which can decrease demand for current products and services and can disrupt purchasing patterns. If we fail to react in a timely manner to such changes, we may experience lower sales and, with respect to hardware, as has occurred we may have to record write-downs of obsolete inventory. In addition, in order to satisfy client demand, protect ourselves against product shortages, obtain greater purchasing discounts and react to changes in original equipment manufacturers’ terms and conditions, we may decide to carry inventory of products that may have limited or no return privileges. There can be no assurance that we will be able to avoid losses related to inventory obsolescence on these products. Additionally, if purchasing power within our clients shifts from centralized procurement functions to business units or individual end users and we are unable to react timely to any such changes, these shifts in purchasing power could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

The cloud and“as-a-service” “as-a-service” models are transforming the IT market and introducing new products, services and competitors to the market. In many cases, these new distribution models allow enterprises to obtain the benefits of commercially licensed, internally operated software with less complexity and lower initialset-up, operational and licensing costs, which increases competition for us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adapt to, or compete effectively with, current or future distribution channels or competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The integration and operation of acquired businesses may disrupt

Failure to provide high quality services to our business and create additional expenses, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions.Integration of an acquired business involves numerous risks, including assimilation of operations of the acquired business and difficulties in the convergence of IT systems, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, risks of entering markets in which we have had no or only limited direct experience, assumption of unknown or unquantifiable liabilities, the potential loss of key teammates and/or clients difficulties in completing strategic initiatives already underway in the acquired company, and unfamiliarity with partners of the acquired company, each of which could have a material adverse effect onadversely affect our reputation, brand, business, results of operations or cash flows. Our services include professional, managed, configuration and financial condition. The continued integration activitiespartner services as well as warranties. In addition, we deliver and manage mission critical software, systems and network solutions for our clients. We also offer certain services, such as implementation and installation services and repair services, to our clients through various third party service providers engaged to perform these services on our behalf. If we or our third party service providers fail to provide high quality services to our clients or such services result in an unplanned disruption of the acquiredour clients' businesses, intothis could, among other things, result in legal claims and proceedings and liability for us. As we expand our business is difficultservices and time consuming,solutions offerings and provide increasingly complex services and solutions, we may be unableexposed to achieve expected synergiesadditional operational, regulatory and operating efficiencies overother risks. We could also incur liability for failure to comply with the long term. We cannot assure that these risks or other unforeseen factors will not offset the intended benefitsrules and regulations applicable to new services and solutions we provide to our clients. The occurrence of any of the acquisitions, in wholeaforementioned could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, results of operations or cash flows.
We are exposed to accounts receivable risks. We extend credit to our clients for a significant portion of our net sales, typically on 30-day payment terms. We are subject to the risk that our clients may not pay for the products and services they have purchased, or may pay at a slower rate than we have historically experienced, the risk of which is heightened during periods of economic downturn or uncertainty or, in part.

Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly. Our operating results are highly dependent upon our levelthe case of gross profit as a percentagepublic sector clients, during periods of net sales, which fluctuates due to numerous factors, including changes in prices from partners, changes in the amount and timing of partner funding, volumes of purchases, changes in client mix, management of our cash conversion cycle, the relative mixbudget constraints.

We rely on independent shipping companies for delivery of products and are subject to price increases or service interruptions from these carriers. We generally ship hardware products to our clients by FedEx, United Parcel Service and other commercial delivery services sold duringand invoice clients for delivery charges. If we are unable to pass on to our clients current costs and future increases in the period, general competitive conditions, and strategic product andcost of commercial delivery services, pricing and purchasing actions. Asour profitability could be adversely impacted. Additionally, strikes, inclement weather, natural disasters or other service interruptions, including as a result of significant price competition and our higher concentration of large enterprise clients, our gross margins are low, and we expect them to continue to be low in the future. Increased competition arising from industry consolidation and low demand for certain IT products and services may hinderCOVID-19 pandemic, sustained by such shippers could

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.
adversely impact our ability to maintain or improve our gross margins. These low gross margins magnify the impact of variations in revenue and operating costsdeliver products on our operating results. In addition, our expense levels are based, in part, on anticipated net sales and the anticipated amount and timing of partner funding, and a portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed. Therefore, we may not be able to reduce spending quickly enough to compensate for any unexpected net sales shortfall, and we may not be able to reduce our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue to mitigate any further reductions in gross margins in the future. If we cannot proportionately decrease our cost structure, our business, financial condition and results of operationstimely basis. Such events could suffer. In addition, a reduction in the amount of credit granted to us by our partners could increase our need for and cost of working capital and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There are risks associated with our international operations that are different than the risks associated with our operations in the United States, and our exposure to the risks of a global market could hinder our ability to maintain and expand international operations.Outside of the United States, we have operation centers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, the Philippines and the United Kingdom, as well as sales offices throughout EMEA and APAC. In the regions in which we do not currently have a physical presence, we serve our clients through strategic relationships. In implementing our international strategy, we may face barriers to entry and competition from local companies and other companies that already have established global businesses, as well as the risks generally associated with conducting business internationally.
The success and profitability of international operations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, such as:


political or economic instability;instability, including the possibility of recession or financial market instability, or acts of war, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its regional and global ramifications discussed above;

changes in governmental regulation or taxation (foreign and domestic);

currency exchange fluctuations;

changes in import/export laws, regulations, customs, duties and customs and dutiestariffs (foreign and domestic);

trade restrictions (foreign and domestic);

difficulties of conducting business, managing operations, and costs of staffing in certain foreign countries;

work stoppages or other changes in labor conditions;

taxes and other restrictions on repatriating foreign profits back to the United States;

extended payment terms;

seasonal reductions in business activity in some parts of the world; and

natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest, public health concerns (including health epidemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and other geopolitical uncertainties.

In addition, changes in policies and/or laws of the United States or foreign governments, including data privacy restrictions such as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) resulting in, among other changes, higher taxation, tariffs or similar protectionist laws, currency conversion limitations, limitations on business operations, or the nationalization of private enterprises could reduce the anticipated benefits of international operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


We have currency exposure arising from both sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany transactions outside the United States, and we currently conduct only limited hedging activities. International operations also expose us to currency fluctuations as we translate the financial statements of our foreign operations to the U.S. dollar, which has been very strong in recent years in foreign currency exchange rates and which has adversely impacted our results of operations and cash flows from our operations in EMEA. In addition, some currencies may be subject to limitations on conversion into other currencies, which can limit the ability to otherwise react to rapid foreign currency devaluations. We cannot predict with precision the effect of future exchange-rate fluctuations, and significant rate fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in government spending policies (including budget cuts atauthorities around the federal, state and local level), budget priorities or revenue levels could cause our public sector customersworld implementing various measures to try to reduce their purchasesthe spread of COVID-19, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, "shelter-in-place," "stay-at-home," total lock-down orders, business limitations or shutdowns and similar orders. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation, and initially created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Since the initial outbreak, new variants of COVID-19 that are significantly more contagious than previous strains, have emerged. The spread of these new strains initially caused many government authorities and businesses to terminatereimplement prior restrictions in an effort to lessen the spread of COVID-19 and its variants; however, while many of these restrictions have been lifted, uncertainty remains as to whether additional restrictions may be initiated or not renew their contracts with us.

The covenants include limitations on the payment of dividends and the requirement that we comply with maximum leverage and minimum fixed charge ratio requirements, comply with a minimum receivables requirement and meet monthly, quarterly and annual reporting requirements. Our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants and to make scheduled payments on our financing facilities depends on our financial and operating performance. If we were unable to maintain compliance or to repay the borrowed amounts, the lenders under our financing facilities could declare an event of default and demand payment within a specified period of time.

Intellectual Property

Disruptions in our IT systems and voice and data networks could affect our ability to service our clients and cause us to incur additional expenses. We believe that our success to date has been, and future results of operations will be, dependent in large part upon our ability to provide prompt and efficient service to our clients. Our ability to provide that level of service is largely dependent on the ease of use, accuracy, quality and utilization of our IT systems, which affectsimpacts our ability to manage our sales, client service, distribution, inventories and accounting systems, and the reliability of our voice and data networks and managed services offerings. If our current technology is determined to have a shorter usefuleconomic life or the value of our current system is impaired, or necessary improvements to our technology are significantly delayed, we could incur additional depreciation expense and/or impairment charges. The continuing development of our IT systems is crucial for our success. Accordingly, some of our IT systems are subject to ongoing IT projects designed to streamline or optimize the information systems. In addition, we recently migrated our EMEA operations to the same core IT systems and tools used in North America and APAC. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in these efforts at all times or that there will not be implementation or integration difficulties.

The failure to comply with

Cyberattacks, data incidents and breaches in the terms and conditionssecurity (i) of our commercialinformation systems and networks, (ii) of the products we sell and services we provide, and (iii) of the electronic and confidential information in our possession could materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and relationships with clients, partners, vendors, and teammates. We are dependent upon automated information technology processes. Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved to facilitate commerce and as cross-border commerce increases. As part of our normal business activities, we collect and store or have access to certain proprietary confidential, and personal information, including information about teammates and information about partners, vendors, and clients which may be entitled to protection under a number of regulatory regimes. In the course of normal and customary business practice, we may share some of this information with vendors and partners who assist us with certain aspects of our business.

We are exposed to risks from legalregulatory proceedings, and client auditscause us to incur substantial liability or expenses.

The frequency, intensity, and failure to complysophistication of cyberattacks and data security incidents has significantly increased in recent years and is constant. As with the laws and regulations applicable to our operations could adversely impact our business, results of operations or cash flows.Wemany other businesses, we are party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, which include commercial, employment, tort and other litigation. Because of our significant sales to governmental entities, we also arecontinually subject to audits by federal, state, international, national, provincial and local authorities in the ordinary course of our business. We also are subject to audits by various vendor partners and large customers, including government agencies, relating to purchases and sales under various contracts. In addition, we are subject to indemnification claims under various contracts. Current and future litigation, infringement claims, governmental proceedings and investigations, audits or indemnification claims that we face may result in substantial costs and expenses and significantly divert the attention of our management regardless of the outcome. Additionally, our operations are subject to numerous U.S. and foreign laws and regulations in a number of areas including areas of labor and employment, advertising,e-commerce, tax, import and export requirements, anti-corruption, data privacy requirements, anti-competition, and environmental, health, and safety.

A natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at one of our primary facilities or customer data centers could damage our business.We have warehouse and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada and in the United Kingdom and Germany. If the warehouse and distribution equipment at one of our distribution centerssuch products, however, if such circumstances were to be seriously damaged by a natural disaster or other adverse occurrence, we could utilize another distribution center or third-party distributors to ship products to our customers. However, this may not be sufficient to avoid interruptions in our service and may not enable us to meet all of the needs of our customers and would cause us to incur incremental operating costs. In addition, we operate customer data centers and numerous sales offices which may contain both business-critical data and confidential information of our customers. A natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at any of the customer data centers or at any of our major sales offices could negatively impact our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Changes in, interpretations of, or enforcement trends related to tax rules and regulations may adversely affect our effective income tax rates or operating margins andarise, we may be required to pay additional tax assessments.We conduct business globallynotify clients, regulators and file tax returns in various U.S.individuals and foreign tax jurisdictions. Our effective income tax ratethereby could be adversely affected by various factors, manysubject to litigation, regulatory inquiry, loss of which are outside of our control, including:

changes inpre-tax income in various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;

increases in corporate tax rates and the availability of deductions or credits in the United States and elsewhere;

changes in tax laws, regulations, and/or interpretations of such tax laws in multiple jurisdictions;

tax effects related to purchase accounting for acquisitions; and

resolutions of issues arising from tax examinations and any related interest or penalties.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes changes to the U.S. corporate tax rate, business-related deductions and taxation of foreign earnings, among others, that will generally be effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. By reducing the tax rate, these changes have reduced the value of our net U.S. deferred tax assets, resulting in a significantone-time charge in the current tax year. We are continuing to evaluate the Tax Act and its requirements, as well as its application to our business, and its impact on our effective tax rate. At this point, it is unclear how many U.S. states will incorporate these federal law changes, or portions thereof, into their local laws. Our implementation of new practices and processes designed to comply with, and benefit from, the Tax Act and its rules and regulations could require us to make substantial changes to our business practices.

The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires estimation, judgment and complex calculations in situations where the ultimate tax determination may not be certain. Our determination of tax liabilities is always subject to review or examination by tax authorities in various jurisdictions. Any adverse outcome of such review or examination could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately, and we may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims. To protect our intellectual property, we rely on copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, unpatented proprietaryknow-how, and patents, as well as confidentiality, invention assignment,non-solicitation andnon-competition agreements. There can be no assurance that these measures will afford us sufficient protection of our intellectual property, and it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information without authorization or otherwise infringe on our intellectual property rights. The disclosure of our trade secrets could impair our competitive position and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our registered trademarks and trade names are subject to challenge by third parties. This may affectimpact our ability to continue using those marks and names. Likewise, many businesses are actively investing in, developing and seeking protection for intellectual property in the areas of search, indexing,e-commerce and otherWeb-related technologies, as well as a variety ofon-line

business models and methods, all of which are in addition to traditional research and development efforts for IT products and application software, andnon-practicing entities continue to invest in acquiring patent portfolios for the purpose of turning the portfolios into income-generating assets, whether through licensing campaigns or litigation. If there is a determination that we have infringed the proprietary rights of others, we could incur substantial monetary liability, be forced to stop selling infringing products or providing infringing services, be required to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements, if available, or be prevented from using the rights, which could force us to change our business practices or hardware, software or services offerings in the future. These types of claims and challenges could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Matters
We are exposed to risks from legal proceedings and client audits and failure to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our operations could adversely impact our business, results of operations or cash flows. We are party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, which include commercial, employment, tort and other litigation. Because of our significant sales to governmental entities, we also are subject to audits by federal, state, international, national, provincial and local authorities in the ordinary course of our business. We also are subject to and currently engaged in audits by various vendor partners and large clients, including government agencies, relating to purchases and sales under various contracts. In addition, we are subject to indemnification claims under various contracts. Current and future litigation, infringement claims, governmental proceedings and investigations, audits or indemnification claims that we face may result in substantial costs and expenses and significantly divert the attention of our management regardless of the outcome. Additionally, our operations are subject to numerous U.S. and foreign laws and regulations in a number of areas including areas of labor and employment, advertising, e-commerce, tax, import and export requirements, anti-corruption, data privacy requirements, including data privacy restrictions such as the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), data breach notification laws, and certain data security regulations, anti-competition, and environmental, health, and safety. Compliance with these laws, regulations and similar requirements may be onerous and expensive, and they may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business, and the risk of noncompliance. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to help ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but there can be no guarantee against teammates, contractors, or agents violating such laws and regulations or our policies and procedures.
The failure to comply with the terms and conditions of our commercial and public sector contracts could result in, among other things, damages, fines or other liabilities. Sales to commercial clients are based on stated contractual terms, the terms and conditions on our website or terms contained in purchase orders on a transaction by transaction basis. Sales to public sector clients are derived from sales to federal, state and local governmental departments and agencies, as well as to educational institutions, through open market sales and various contracts and programs. Noncompliance with contract terms, or stated terms and conditions on our website, particularly to highly regulated public sector clients, or with government procurement regulations and other requirements could result in fines or penalties against us or termination of contracts, and, in the public sector, could also result in civil, criminal, and administrative liability. With respect to our public sector clients, the government’s remedies may include suspension or debarment. In addition, almost all of our contracts have default provisions, and substantially all of our contracts in the public sector are terminable at any time for convenience of the contracting agency.

Changes in, interpretations of, or enforcement trends related to tax rules and regulations may adversely affect our effective income tax rates or operating margins and we may be required to pay additional tax assessments. We conduct business globally and file tax returns in various U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate could be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:
changes in pre-tax income in various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;
increases in corporate tax rates and the availability of deductions or credits in the United States and elsewhere;
changes in tax laws, regulations, and/or interpretations of such tax laws in multiple jurisdictions, including but not limited to U.S. federal and state regulations or interpretations and enforcement trends;
tax effects related to acquisition accounting; and
resolutions of issues arising from tax examinations and any related interest or penalties.
The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires estimation, judgment and complex calculations in situations where the ultimate tax determination may not be certain. Our determination of tax liabilities is always subject to review or examination by tax authorities in various jurisdictions. Any adverse outcome of such review or examination could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could have important consequences to our business. We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, we had $637.9 million of total long-term debt outstanding, as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and an additional $301.3 million of obligations outstanding under our inventory financing agreements. At December 31, 2022, $346.2 million of our outstanding debt relates to the Notes that are convertible at the option of the holders and as a result are classified as a current liability. We also have the ability to borrow an additional $1.5 billionunder our senior secured credit facility. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences, that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the following:
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to debt service payments on our and our subsidiaries’ debt, which reduces the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
requiring us to comply with restrictive covenants in our senior secured debt facility, which limits the manner in which we conduct our business;
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industry in which we operate;
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any of our less-leveraged competitors;
increasing our vulnerability to both general and industry-specific adverse economic conditions; and
limiting our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements and increasing our cost of borrowing.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.
The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, which has been triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Notes continues to be triggered, holders of Notes will be entitled to convert the Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Notes, we would be required to settle the principal portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders of Notes do not elect to convert their Notes, we are required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all of the outstanding principal of the Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which has and could continue to result in a material reduction of our net current assets.
We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the Call Spread Transactions. The option counterparties are financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and we are subject to the risk that one or more of such option counterparties may default under the Call Spread Transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. If any option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the Call Spread Transaction. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, the increase in our exposure will be correlated to the increase in our common stock market price and in the volatility of the market price of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by the option counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and dilution with respect to our common stock.
Our acquisition strategy may increase our outstanding debt and interest expense and decrease the availability under our financing facilities, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. To fund our acquisition initiatives, we increase our total borrowings from time to time, such as with the PCM acquisition. These additional borrowings have the effect of increasing our future interest expenses and require escalating amortization payments. Additionally, certain of our financing facilities have interest rates that vary based on market conditions and on utilization, which increases our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and may result in greater interest expense than we have forecasted.
Our financing facilities contain covenants that we must comply with in order to avoid an occurrence of an event of default. The covenants include, among other things, limitations on the payment of dividends and compliance with certain minimum fixed charge ratio and minimum receivables requirements, as well as meeting monthly, quarterly and annual reporting requirements. Our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants and to make scheduled payments on our financing facilities depends on our financial and operating performance. If we were unable to maintain compliance or to repay the borrowed amounts, the lenders under our financing facilities could declare an event of default and demand payment within a specified period of time.
We may face risk associated with the discontinuation of and transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark interest rate.We may face risk associated with the discontinuation of and transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark interest rate. We have outstanding U.S. Dollar denominated debt with variable interest rates based on LIBOR, and it is anticipated that LIBOR for all U.S. Dollar debtors will be discontinued as of the year ending 2023. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR for all U.S. Dollar debtors will require lenders and their borrowers to transition from LIBOR to an alternative benchmark interest rate, which could have an impact on and risk to the Company if not completed in a timely manner. The Company’s current material loan documents include an alternative benchmark interest rate for U.S. Dollars based initially on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. At this time, however, it is not possible to predict the effect of any changes to LIBOR, any phase out of LIBOR or any establishment of alternative benchmark rates in the future. While various bodies, including governmental agencies, are seeking to identify an alternative rate to replace LIBOR, including the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, there is uncertainty regarding which alternative reference rate will replace LIBOR. Any new benchmark rate will likely not replicate

LIBOR exactly, which could impact our contracts which terminate after 2023. In addition, any changes to benchmark rates in the future may have an uncertain impact on our cost of funds and our access to the capital markets, which could impact our results of operations and cash flows.
General Risk Factors
Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly. Our operating results are highly dependent upon our level of gross profit as a percentage of net sales, which fluctuates due to numerous factors, including changes in prices from partners, changes in the amount and timing of partner funding, volumes of purchases, changes in client mix, management of our cash conversion cycle, the relative mix of products and services sold during the period, general competitive conditions, and strategic product and services pricing and purchasing actions. As a result of significant price competition, our high mix of hardware sales, and our higher concentration of large enterprise clients, our gross margins have been relatively low. We expect our gross margins to improve as our mix of services and solutions increase. Increased competition arising from industry consolidation and low demand for certain IT products and services may hinder our ability to maintain or improve our gross margins. These low gross margins magnify the impact of variations in revenue and operating costs on our operating results. In addition, our expense levels are based, in part, on anticipated net sales and the anticipated amount and timing of partner funding, and a portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed. Therefore, we may not be able to reduce spending quickly enough to compensate for any unexpected net sales shortfall, and we may not be able to reduce our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue to mitigate any further reductions in gross margins in the future. If we cannot proportionately decrease our cost structure, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be impacted. In addition, a reduction in the amount of credit granted to us by our partners could increase our need for and cost of working capital and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on certain key management personnel and our ability to attract, train and retain skilled teammates to satisfy client demand, including highly skilled technical resources with experience in key digital areas. We rely on key management to execute our strategy to grow profitable market share. The loss of one or more of these leaders, or a failure to attract and retain new executives, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also believe that our future success will be largely dependent on our ability to attract, train and retain highly qualified management, sales, service and technical teammates, and we make significant investments in the development of our leadership team, sales executives, solution architects, services engineers, project managers and other IT resources. If we are not able to retain such personnel or to train them quickly enough to meet changing market conditions, we could experience a drop in the overall quality and efficiency of our sales and services teammates, and that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, competition for skilled and non-skilled workers is intense and there are risks of sustained labor shortages in various regions. In some jurisdictions in which we operate, there is increasing demand for qualified resources to fill open positions. Our business has experienced and may continue to experience teammate attrition, which may cause us to incur increased costs to hire new teammates with the desired management and technical skills. Costs associated with recruiting, training and retaining teammates are significant. If we are unable to hire or deploy resources with the needed technical skill set or if we are unable to adequately equip our teammates with the skills needed, this could have a material adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, if we are unable to maintain an environment for teammates that is competitive and appealing, it could have an adverse effect on engagement and retention, and a material adverse effect on our business.
26


INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.
The acquisition, integration and operation of acquired businesses may disrupt our business and create additional expenses, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions. In connection with our strategic initiatives, we regularly acquire new businesses to expand our technical capabilities, product and service offerings and client base and to realize cost savings. All acquisitions entail various risks such as difficulties in realizing the benefits of the acquired business, exposure to unexpected liabilities, difficulties in retaining key employees and adverse client reactions. In addition, integration of an acquired business involves numerous risks, including assimilation of operations of the acquired business and difficulties in the convergence of IT systems, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, risks of entering markets in which we have had no or only limited direct experience, assumption of unknown or unquantifiable liabilities, the potential loss of key clients, difficulties assimilating and retaining teammates of those businesses into our culture and organizational structure, difficulties in completing strategic initiatives already underway in the acquired company, and unfamiliarity with partners of the acquired company, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The continued integration activities of the acquired businesses into our business are difficult and time consuming, and we may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies over the long term. We cannot assure that these risks or other unforeseen factors will not offset the intended benefits of the acquisitions, in whole or in part.
Future sales of the Company’s common stock or equity-linked securities in the public market could lower the market price for our common stock. In the future, we may sell additional shares of our common stock or equity-linked securities to raise capital. In addition, a substantial number of shares of our common stock is reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, upon vesting of restricted stock units, upon conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the warrants that were issued in connection with the Call Spread Transactions. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market price for our common stock. The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of common stock or equity-linked securities, or the perception that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities.

COVID-19 and Supply Chain Constraints Update

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and reduced workforce participation. While we have experienced minimal negative impact of COVID-19 on our 2021 and 2022 financial results, prolonged supply constraints stemming from shortages of chips and displays resulted in sustained elevated bookings coming into and throughout the first half of 2022. While supply constraints for certain products, such as devices, have eased limitations on other products, such as data center and infrastructure products continue to result in elevated backlog. We expect our elevated backlog for data center and infrastructure products may benefit our results in the first half of 2023.

Since the initial outbreak, new variants of COVID-19 that are significantly more contagious than previous strains, have emerged. The spread of these new strains initially caused many government authorities and businesses to reimplement prior restrictions in an effort to lessen the spread of COVID-19 and its variants; however, while many of these restrictions have been lifted, uncertainty remains as to whether additional restrictions may be initiated or again reimplemented in responses to surges in COVID-19 cases. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations, financial performance, and results of operations, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, is currently unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, continuously evolving and cannot be predicted. This includes, but is not limited to, the duration and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and its severity; the emergence and severity of its

variants; the availability and efficacy of vaccines (particularly with respect to emerging strains of the virus) and potential hesitancy to utilize them; the reduction in travel and increase in teammates working from remote locations and other protective actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact; general economic factors, such as increased inflation; supply chain constraints; labor supply issues; and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and anticipate taking further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our teammates, clients and partners. It is not clear what the potential effects of any such alterations or modifications may have on our business, including the effects on our clients, teammates, and prospects, or on our financial results in 2023 and beyond. Accordingly, our current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this report for additional risks we face due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net sales in North America increased 13%, or $964.1 million, in 2022 compared to 2021. This increase reflects increases in all sales categories. Net sales of hardware, software and services increased 11%, 18% and 15%, respectively, year over year. The increases year over year were primarily the result of the following:
The increase in hardware net sales was due to higher volume of sales to large enterprise and corporate clients. This increase reflects higher sales of devices in the first half of 2022 as supply constraints for devices eased and higher sales of data center and infrastructure products in the latter part of 2022.
The increase in software net sales was primarily due to higher volume of software licensing. This increase was partially offset by the continued trend toward higher sales of cloud solution offerings that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis in the services net sales category.
The increase in services net sales was primarily due to higher volume of sales of Insight Delivered services and the continued trend toward higher sales of cloud solution offerings.

The increase in software net sales was due to higher volume of software net sales, partially offset by the continued trend toward higher sales of cloud solution offerings that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis in the services net sales category.
The decrease in hardware net sales was primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the prior year.
The decrease in services net sales was primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the prior year, partially offset by higher volume of sales of Insight Delivered services and higher sales of cloud solution offerings that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis in the services net sales category.

The increase in services net sales was due to higher volume of Insight Delivered services and higher sales of cloud solution offerings that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis in the services net sales category.
The increase in hardware net sales was due to higher volume of net sales to enterprise and commercial clients.

North America’s gross profit increased 17% in 2022 compared to 2021. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin expanded by approximately 60 basis points year over year. The year over year net increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the following:
A net increase in product margin, which includes partner funding and freight, of 31 basis points year over year. This increase was primarily due to higher margins on both hardware and software net sales compared to prior year. The expanded margins on hardware are due in part to a shift away from devices towards higher margin infrastructure sales in the latter part of 2022.
An expansion in services margin year over year of 24 basis points was due to higher margins generated from increased cloud solution offerings, software maintenance and on Insight Core services, (consisting of Insight Delivered and managed services), partially offset by a decline in margins from hardware warranty.
EMEA’s gross profit decreased 4% (increased 6% excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), in 2022 compared to 2021. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased 80 basis points to 14.4%, reflecting a 38 basis point reduction in product margin and a 37 basis point decline in services margin. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the prior year, particularly in the Great British Pound and Euro compared to the U.S. Dollar.
APAC’s gross profit increased 14% (increased 22% excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), in 2022 compared to 2021. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased by approximately 90 basis points year over year. The expanded gross margin for APAC in 2022 compared to 2021 was due primarily to changes in sales mix to services net sales with higher margins than product net sales.
Our overall gross margins expanded in 2022 compared to 2021, as expected. We believe this trend could continue into future periods as we focus on selling solutions and increasing our services net sales.

Operating Expenses.
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $99.5 million in 2022 compared to 2021. Selling and administrative expenses decreased approximately 10 basis points as a percentage of net sales in 2022 compared to 2021. The overall net increase in expenses reflects a $68.4 million increase in personnel costs, including teammate benefits expenses primarily related to increases in overall teammate headcount and increases in variable compensation in the current year. Travel and entertainment costs increased $6.7 million as previous responses to COVID-19 were relaxed and other expenses, including service contract related costs increased $24.9 million, year over year. The increase in other expenses is primarily due to transformation costs incurred and paid to third parties in 2022 with no comparable activity in 2021. Transformation costs are costs we are incurring to transform our business to help us achieve our strategic objectives, including becoming a leading solutions integrator. We expect to continue to incur further transformation costs in 2023; however, these costs are unique in nature and are not expected to recur in the longer term.
Severance and Restructuring Expenses. During 2022, we recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $4.2 million. During 2021, we recorded gains on sale of properties due to restructuring of $8.0 million. These gains were partially offset in 2021, as we recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $6.4 million.
Acquisition-related Expenses. During 2022, we incurred $2.0 million in direct third-party costs primarily related to the acquisition of Hanu. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our Hanu acquisition. During 2021, we did not incur any acquisition-related expenses.
Earnings from Operations. Earnings from operations increased 25%, or $81.6 million, year over year, in 2022 compared to 2021. Our earnings from operations and earnings from operations as a percentage of net sales by operating segment were as follows for 2022 and 2021 (dollars in thousands):

North America’s earnings from operations increased 30%, or $81.6 million, year over year, in 2022 compared to 2021. As a percentage of net sales, earnings from operations increased by approximately 50 basis points to 4.1%. The increase in earnings from operations was primarily driven by an increase in gross profit in excess of increases in selling and administrative expenses and severance and restructuring expenses.
EMEA’s earnings from operations decreased 6% (increased 4% excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), or $2.7 million, year to year, in 2022 compared to 2021. As a percentage of net sales, earnings from operations decreased by approximately 20 basis points to 2.6%. The decrease in earnings from operations was primarily driven by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the prior year, particularly in the Great British Pound and Euro compared to the U.S. Dollar.
APAC’s earnings from operations increased 16% (increased 24% excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates), or $2.7 million, year over year, in 2022 compared to 2021. As a percentage of net sales, earnings from operations increased by approximately 40 basis points to 8.1%. The increase in earnings from operations reflects an increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling and administrative expenses in 2022 compared to 2021.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net primarily relates to borrowings under our financing facilities and imputed interest under our inventory financing facilities and the Notes, partially offset by interest income generated from interest earned on cash and cash equivalent bank balances. Interest expense decreased 3%, or $1.0 million, in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to having no imputed interest in 2022 under the Notes and higher interest income earned in 2022. This was partially offset by the higher interest rates and higher average daily balances under our ABL facility and increased imputed interest under our inventory financing facilities. There was no imputed interest under the Notes in 2022 compared $10.7 million in 2021. Imputed interest under our inventory financing facilities increased $0.2 million due to higher average daily balances in 2022 compared to 2021. The increases were a result of expanded use of the inventory financing facilities. For a description of our various financing facilities, see Notes 7 and 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.
Other (Income) Expense, Net. Other (income) expense, net, consists primarily of foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses result from foreign currency transactions, including foreign currency derivative contracts and intercompany balances that are not considered long-term in nature. The change in net foreign currency exchange gains/losses is due primarily to the underlying changes in the applicable exchange rates, partially mitigated by our use of foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies on certain of our non-functional currency assets and liabilities.
Income Tax Expense. Our effective tax rate for 2022 was 25.1% compared to 25.0% in 2021. The marginal increase in the tax rate was primarily due to reduced tax benefits on share-based compensation in 2022 as compared to 2021, as well as nonrecurring benefits in 2021 related to tax credits. These increases were partially offset by the one-time solar tax credit claimed in 2022 on our recently completed headquarters and an increase in the deduction for foreign derived intangible income.
The effective tax rate in 2022 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and higher taxes on earnings in foreign jurisdictions. These increases were offset partially by tax credits and the foreign derived intangible income deduction. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of income tax expense.

Cash and Cash Flow
Our primary uses of cash during 2022 were to fund working capital requirements, to repurchase shares of our common stock, to acquire Hanu and to purchase property and equipment, including for the final build out of our corporate headquarters.
Operating activities generated $98.1 million in cash in 2022, compared to $163.7 million in 2021.
We received proceeds from the sale of assets, including our properties held for sale, of $1.3 million in 2022, compared to $31.0 million in 2021.
We had net repayments under our inventory financing facilities of $8.3 million in 2022 compared to net repayments of $14.4 million in 2021.
Net borrowings under our ABL facility were $244.7 million in 2022. Net repayments under our ABL facility were $87.0 million in 2021.
Capital expenditures were $70.9 million in 2022 compared to $52.1 million in 2021.
During 2022, we repurchased an aggregate of $107.9 million of our common stock, pursuant to a repurchase program approved in May 2021 and subsequently increased in September 2022. This compares to $50.0 million repurchased during 2021.
We anticipate that cash flows from operations, together with the funds available under our financing facilities, will be adequate to support our cash and working capital requirements for operations as well as other strategic investments over the next 12 months and beyond. We expect existing cash and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating cash activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, repurchases of our common stock, debt repayments and repayment of our inventory financing facilities for the next 12 months. We do not expect holders of the Notes will convert their Notes in the near term. We currently expect to fund known cash commitments beyond the next 12 months through operating cash activities or other available financing resources.
Net cash provided by operating activities.
Cash flow from operating activities in 2022 was $98.1 million, a decrease in cash generation compared to 2021.The decrease in cash flow from operating activities was primarily driven by the lower increase in accounts payable and higher increase in accounts receivable in 2022 compared to 2021, partially offset by a decrease in inventory in 2022 compared to the prior year. The relatively lower increase in accounts payable compared to the prior year is due to the impact of our ability to delay payments to certain vendors in 2021 combined with growth in the fourth quarter

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
of 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, with no growth in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Our consolidated cash flow operating metrics for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
 20222021
Days sales outstanding in ending accounts
receivable (“DSOs”) (a)
120 105 
Days inventory outstanding (“DIOs”) (b)12 14 
Days purchases outstanding in ending accounts
payable (“DPOs”) (c)
(92)(88)
Cash conversion cycle (days) (d)40 31 
(a)Calculated as the balance of accounts receivable, net at the end of the period divided by daily net sales. Daily net sales is calculated as net sales for the quarter divided by 92 days.
(b)Calculated as average inventories divided by daily costs of goods sold. Average inventories is calculated as the sum of the balances of inventories at the beginning of the period plus inventories at the end of the period divided by two. Daily costs of goods sold is calculated as costs of goods sold for the quarter divided by 92 days.
(c)Calculated as the sum of the balances of accounts payable – trade and accounts payable – inventory financing facilities at the end of the period divided by daily costs of goods sold. Daily costs of goods sold is calculated as costs of goods sold for the quarter divided by 92 days.
(d)Calculated as DSOs plus DIOs, less DPOs.

Our cash conversion cycle was 40 days in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 9 days when compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
The changes in our cash conversion cycle compared to the same period in the prior year resulted from the net effect of a fifteen day increase in DSOs partially offset by a four day increase in DPOs and a two day decrease in DIOs.
The changes in our cash conversion cycle year over year were primarily the result of:
the impact to DSOs of an increase in other receivables including multi year transactions and changes in client mix (e.g., clients with longer payment terms);
the benefit to DPOs of changes in vendor mix partially offset by deferral of payments in the prior year; and
the benefit to DIOs of the impact of easing supply constraints.
Our cash conversion cycle is impacted by netted costs that we apply to our services net sales to appropriately record net sales that we earn as an agent. These netted costs, while excluded from both net sales and cost of goods sold, are processed and applied to accounts receivable and accounts payable in each reporting period. As a result, our DSO and DPO calculated on the basis of unadjusted net sales and unadjusted cost of goods sold are inherently inflated. Netted costs were $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Adjusting our cash conversion cycle calculation by adding netted costs to both daily net sales and daily costs of goods sold results in a reduction to our cash conversion cycle from 40 days to 28 days in the fourth quarter of 2022 and no change in the fourth quarter of 2021, which we believe provides a more accurate reflection of our cash flow operating metrics.
We expect that cash flow from operations will be used, at least partially, to fund working capital as we typically pay our partners on average terms that are shorter than the average terms we grant to our clients in order to take advantage of supplier discounts.
We intend to use cash generated in 2023 in excess of working capital needs, given current market conditions, to pay down our ABL facility and our inventory financing facilities.
We expect that in 2023 our cash flows from operations will continue to normalize as we anticipate sequential growth and given the fact that our business mix has returned to previous levels.

Net cash used in investing activities.
We acquired Hanu for approximately $68.2 million, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired and excluding earn outs and hold backs in 2022.
We received proceeds from the sale of assets, including our properties held for sale, of $1.3 million and $31.0 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Capital expenditures were $70.9 million and $52.1 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The majority of the capital expenditures in 2022 and 2021 were used for our global corporate headquarters and to fund technology related projects.
We expect total capital expenditures in 2023 to be in the range of $55.0 to $60.0 million.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.
During 2022, we had net borrowings on our long-term debt under our ABL facility of $244.7 million and had net repayments under our inventory financing facilities of $8.3 million.
During 2021, we had net repayments on our long-term debt under our ABL facility of $87.0 million and had net repayments under our inventory financing facilities of $14.4 million.
In 2022, we also funded $107.9 million of repurchases of our common stock, compared to $50.0 million purchased during 2021.

2021 Compared to 2020
For a comparison of our cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022.
Financing Facilities
As of December 31, 2022, our long-term debt balance includes $291.6 million outstanding under our $1.8 billion ABL facility. As of December 31, 2022, the current portion of our long-term debt relates to the Notes, our finance leases and other financing obligations.
Our objective is to pay our debt balances down while retaining adequate cash balances to meet overall business objectives.
Our convertible senior notes are subject to certain events of default and certain acceleration clauses. As of December 31, 2022, no such events have occurred.
Our ABL facility contains various covenants customary for transactions of this type, including complying with a minimum receivable and inventory requirement and meeting monthly, quarterly and annual reporting requirements.
The credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
At December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
While the ABL facility has a stated maximum amount, the actual availability under the ABL facility is limited by a minimum accounts receivable and inventory requirement. As of December 31, 2022, eligible accounts receivables and inventory were sufficient to permit access to the full $1.8 billion under the ABL facility.
We also have agreements with financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of inventory from certain suppliers under certain terms and conditions. These amounts are classified separately as accounts payable - inventory financing facilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Notes 7 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report also include: a description of our financing facilities; amounts outstanding; amounts available and weighted average borrowings and interest rates during the year.

Cash Requirements From Contractual Obligations
At December 31, 2022, our contractual obligations for continuing operations primarily consist of $301.3 million under our inventory financing facilities due in 2023 and payments of $91.4 million under operating leases primarily due in 2023 through 2026. Our ABL facility matures in 2027 and the $350.0 million principal amount due on the Notes mature in 2025.
Undistributed Foreign Earnings
Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. income taxation upon repatriation to the United States. Certain of our foreign earnings were deemed distributed as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; however, for years subsequent to 2017, we continue to assert indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings for certain of our foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $138.2 million in cash and cash equivalents in our foreign subsidiaries, the majority of which reside in Canada and the Netherlands. Certain of these cash balances will be remitted to the U.S. by paying down intercompany payables generated in the ordinary course of business or through dividend distributions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, which include guarantees and indemnifications. These arrangements are discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report. We believe that none of our off-balance sheet arrangements have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Acquisitions
Our strategy includes the possible acquisition of or investments in other businesses to expand or complement our operations or to add certain services capabilities. The magnitude, timing and nature of any future acquisitions or investments will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of suitable candidates, the negotiation of acceptable terms, our financial capabilities and general economic and business conditions. Financing for future transactions would result in the utilization of cash, incurrence of additional debt, issuance of stock or some combination of the three. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a discussion of our acquisition of Hanu on June 1, 2022.
Inflation
We have historically not been adversely affected by inflation, as technological advances and competition within the IT industry have generally caused the prices of the products we sell to decline and product life cycles tend to be short. This requires our growth in unit sales to exceed the decline in prices in order to increase our net sales. We believe that most price increases could be passed on to our clients, as prices charged by us are not set by long-term contracts; however, as a result of competitive pressure, there can be no assurance that the full effect of any such price increases could be passed on to our clients.

Critical Accounting Estimates

General

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).GAAP. For a summary of significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
43


INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results, however, may differ from our estimates. Members of our senior management have discussed the critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

We consider the following to be our critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Sales Recognition

Sales are recognized when title and risk of loss are passed to the client, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement for sale, delivery has occurred and/or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Our standard sales terms are F.O.B. shipping point or equivalent, at which time title and risk of loss have passed to the client. However, because we either (i) have a general practice of covering client losses while products are in transit despite title and risk of loss contractually transferring at the point of shipment or (ii) have specifically stated F.O.B. destination contractual terms with the client, delivery is not deemed to have occurred until the point in time when the product is received by the client. We make provisions for estimated product returns that we expect to occur under our return policy based upon historical return rates.

We leverage drop-shipment arrangements with many

Description
For each of our partnersproduct and suppliersservices offerings, the determination needs to deliver productsbe made as to our clients without havingwhether we are the principal or the agent in the transaction. This determination leads to physically holdhow the inventory at our warehouses, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. We recognize revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on aeach offering is recognized, either gross, basis when the product is received by the client. We recognize revenue on a gross basis aswhere we are the principal in the transaction, becauseor net, where we are the agent in the transaction. This determination is made by assessing whether or not we control the transaction asproduct or service prior to delivery to the primary obligor for product fulfillment in the arrangement,client.
Judgments and Uncertainties
If we assume inventory risk if the product is returned by the client, we set the pricetake control of the product chargedor service prior to delivery to the client, then we are the principal in the transaction. If we do not take control of the product or service prior to delivery to the client, we assume credit riskare the agent in the transaction. The determination of whether we take control of products or services prior to delivery to the client can be judgmental and depends upon the specific facts and circumstances for each transaction. Key assumptions used in our estimates for transactions where we have determined we are the amounts invoiced,agent are the consistency of transactions with multiple performance obligations and we work closelyconsistency of transactions involving security software. Based on our current methodology to recognize net sales, the amount of reported net sales is not highly sensitive to changes in these key assumptions. For example, a 5% change in one of our key assumptions would not materially affect our reported net sales.
Effect if actual results differ from assumptions
We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to recognize net sales. However, if actual results are not consistent with our clientsestimates or assumptions, it could have a material effect on our reported net sales, timing of revenue recognition and our results of operations. We have not made any material changes in accounting methodology or key assumptions used to determine their hardware and software specifications.

Revenue is recognized from softwarerecognize net sales when clients acquireduring the rightpast three fiscal years. We have not made any material adjustments to use or copy software under license, butour financial statements as a result of actual results not being consistent with our estimates in no case priorthe past three fiscal years.

See Note 1 to the commencementConsolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the termthis report for further discussion of the initial software license agreement, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met (i.e., evidence of the arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility of the fee is probable).

We sell certain third-party service contracts and software maintenance and cloud orsoftware-as-a-service subscription products for which we are not the primary obligor. These sales do not meet the criteria for grossour accounting policies related to sales recognition and thus, are recorded onfor a net sales recognition basis. As we enter into contracts with third-party service providers or vendors and our clients, we evaluate whether the subsequent sales of such services should be recorded as gross sales or net sales. We determine whether we act as a principal in the transaction and assume the risks and rewards of ownership or if we are simply acting as an agent or broker. Under gross sales recognition, the selling price is recorded in sales and our cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded in costs of goods sold. Under net sales recognition, the cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded as a reduction to sales, resulting in net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction, and there are no costs of goods sold.

We recognize revenue for sales of services ratably over the time period over which the service will be provided if there is no discernible pattern of recognition of the cost to perform the service. Billings for such services that are made in advance of the related revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period. Revenue from certain arrangements that allow for the use of a product or service over a period of time without taking possession of software are also accounted for ratably over the time period over which the service will be provided.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

We recognize revenue for professional services engagements that are on a time and materials basis based upon hours incurred as the services are performed and amounts are earned. Net sales for these service engagements are not a significant portiondetailed description of our consolidated net sales.

Additionally, we sell certain professionalproduct and services contracts on a fixed fee basis. Revenues for fixed fee professional services contracts are recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. Net sales for these service contracts are not a significant portion of our consolidated net sales.

In certain arrangements, we may provide a combination of hardware and software products as well as services. Services that are performed by us in conjunction with hardware and software sales that are completed in our facilities prior to shipment of the product are recognized upon delivery, when title passes to the client, for the hardware sale. Net sales of services that are performed at client locations are primarily service-only contracts and are recorded as sales when the services are performed. The total consideration for an arrangement with multiple deliverables is allocated to all deliverables that represent a separate unit of accounting using the relative selling price method.

offerings.

Partner Funding

Description
We receive payments and credits from partners, including consideration pursuant to volume sales incentive programs, volume purchase incentive programs and shared marketing expense programs. Partner funding received pursuant to volume sales incentive programs is recognized as it is earned as a reduction to costs of goods sold. Partner funding received pursuant to volume purchase incentive programs is allocated as a reduction to inventories based on the applicable incentives earned from each partner and is recorded in costs of goods sold as the related inventory is sold. Partner funding received pursuant to shared marketing expense programs is recorded as it is earned as a reduction of the related selling and administrative expenses in the period the program takes place if the consideration represents a reimbursement of

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
specific, incremental, identifiable costs. Partner funding received pursuant to certain services delivered is recorded as services net sales. Consideration that exceeds the specific, incremental, identifiable costs is classified as a reduction of costs of goods sold. Changes
Judgements and Uncertainties
We make period-end estimates about the anticipated achievement levels under the various partner programs in order to accrue amounts earned. These estimates and assumptions primarily include whether we have met key net sales targets under the various partner programs. Based on our current methodology to recognize partner funding, the amount of reported net sales and gross profit is not highly sensitive to changes in key assumptions around achievement levels. For example, a revised assessment of the achievement level for any individual partner program would not materially affect our reported net sales or gross profit.
Effect if actual results differ from assumptions
We have not made any material changes in the methodology or key assumptions used to evaluate estimates of anticipated achievement levels under individual partner programs during the past three fiscal years. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to recognize partner funding. However, if our actual results are not consistent with our assumptions it could have a material effect on our results of operations and our cash flows.

We have not made any material adjustments to our financial statements as a result of actual results for partner funding not being consistent with our estimates in the past three fiscal years.

See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our accounting policies related to partner funding.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets Including Purchased Intangible Assets and


Goodwill

We review property, plant and equipment and purchased intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment, our asset impairment review assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or the asset group plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset or the asset group (if any) and compares that value to the carrying value. Such impairment test is based on the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between fair value and the carrying amount. This approach uses our estimates of future market growth, forecasted net sales and costs, expected periods the assets will be utilized and appropriate discount rates.

Description
We perform an annual review of our goodwill in the fourth quarter of every year and between annual testsyear. We continually assess if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. We continuallyvalue and assess whether any indicators of impairment exist, and that assessment requires a significant amount of judgment.exist. Events or circumstances that could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, significant declines in our stock price for a sustained period or significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future cash flows or results of operations. Any adverse change in these factors, among others, could have a significant effect on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a “component”). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available

Judgements and management of the segment regularly reviews the operating results of that component. When two or more components of an operating segment have similar economic characteristics, the components may be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit. An operating segment shall be deemed to be a reporting unit if all of its components are similar, if none of its components is a reporting unit, or if the segment comprises only a single component. Insight has three reporting units, which are equivalent to our operating segments.

Uncertainties

We may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the goodwill impairment test is not required. In completing a quantitative test for a potential impairment of goodwill, we compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit in which the goodwill resides to its book value, including goodwill. Our reporting units are our operating segments. Management must apply judgment in determining the estimatedreporting units and in estimating the fair value of our reporting units. Multiple valuation techniques can be used to assess the fair value of the reporting unit, including the market and income approaches. All of these techniques include the use of estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affectimpact the determination of fair value or goodwill impairment, or both. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, an appropriate control premium in excess of the market capitalization of the Company, future market

growth, forecasted sales and costs and appropriate discount rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management evaluates the merits of each significant assumption, both individually and in the aggregate, used to determine the fair value of the reporting units. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. To ensure the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of our reporting units, we perform a reconciliation of our total market capitalization to the estimated fair value of all of our reporting units.

See further informationBased on qualitative assessments performed in most recent years a quantitative assessment has not been determined to be necessary for any of our reporting units. As such, the carrying valueamount of reported goodwill is not sensitive to changes in key assumptions.

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
We have not made any material changes in the methodology or key assumptions used to evaluate impairment of goodwill during the past three fiscal years. Our assessments in the past three fiscal years have been qualitative assessments and no quantitative assessments have been deemed necessary. Additionally, during the three years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 we analyzed each of our reporting units and determined that no impairment charge was necessary.

Income Taxes

In December 2017, U.S.

Description
We record a provision for income taxes which reflects a mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our provision for income taxes primarily reflects a combination of income earned and taxed in the various US federal and state, as well as foreign, jurisdictions. Our annual effective tax reform was enacted as part ofrate is based on our income, the Tax Act. The changejurisdiction(s) in which the income is earned and subjected to taxation, the tax laws in those various jurisdictions and any tax law required a remeasurementchanges which may occur, increases or decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, and accruals or adjustments of our deferredaccruals for unrecognized tax balances. In addition, the change in tax law included provisions requiring mandatory deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings. Due to the enactment date and complexities of the new law, we have not completed our accounting related to these items. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, issued on December 22, 2017, we have concluded that the U.S. income taxes attributable to the remeasurement of U.S. deferred income taxes, the mandatory deemed repatriation provision and the state tax effects of these items are provisional amounts.

benefits or valuation allowances.

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We consider past operating results,all available positive and negative evidence, including future market growth, forecasted earnings, historical andreversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate, prudent and feasible tax planningtax-planning strategies and statutory tax law changes in determining the need for a valuation allowance.results of recent operations. If we were to determine that it is more likely than not that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that all or part of the net deferred tax assets would be realized, then all or part of the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

We establishrecord liabilities for potentially unfavorable outcomes associated with uncertain tax positions taken on specific tax matters.matters using a two-step process, which include recognition and measurement. These liabilities 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 subsequent recognition or derecognition of a tax position based on all the available information at the time. If material adjustments are warranted, it could affect our effective tax rate.

Judgements and Uncertainties
The determination of our provision and evaluation of our tax positions requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Changes in tax laws and rates could affect recorded assets and liabilities in the future. Changes in projected earnings could affect the recorded valuation allowances in the future. Our calculations related to income taxes contain uncertainties due to judgment used to calculate tax liabilities in

the application of complex tax regulations across the tax jurisdictions where we operate. Our analysis of unrecognized tax benefits contains uncertainties based on judgment used to apply the more likely than not recognition and measurement thresholds. Based on our current methodology to record valuation allowances and reserve for uncertain tax positions, the amount of reported income tax expense is not sensitive to changes in any individual key assumption.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
We have not made any material changes in accounting methodology or key assumptions used to recognize income taxes and related reserves during the past three fiscal years. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood there will be a material change in the tax related balances or valuation allowances. However, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the tax liabilities. To the extent we prevail in matters for which unrecognized tax benefit liabilities have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of recorded unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require use of our cash and generally result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would generally be recognized as a reduction in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution.
Additional information about recent U.S. federal tax reform, the valuation allowance and uncertain tax positions can be found in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Contingencies

From time to time, we are subject to potential claims and assessments from third parties. We are also subject to various government agency, client and partner audits. We continually assess whether or not such claims have merit and warrant accrual. An accrual is made if it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such estimates are subject to change and may affect our results of operations and our cash flows. Additional information about contingencies can be found in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, our consolidated net sales from the provision of services was approximately 10% of net sales. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2017, we began reporting, on the face of our consolidated statement of operations, net sales from the provision of services and the related costs of goods sold separately from net sales of products and the related costs of goods. For comparability purposes, the presentation of net sales and costs of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 has been revised to conform to the current year presentation. These changes in presentation had no effect on previously reported total net sales, total costs of goods sold or gross profit amounts.

In conjunction with this change in presentation, because fees earned from activities reported net are considered services revenues, we reclassified certain revenue streams for which we act as the agent in the transaction to net sales from services. Previously, we included these net revenue streams within our software and, to a lesser extent, hardware sales mix categories based on the type of product being sold (e.g., fees earned for the sale of software maintenance and certain software licenses were included in software sales and fees earned for the sale of certain third-party provided training were included in hardware sales when we historically disclosed and analyzed our sales mix). For comparability purposes, the sales mix among our hardware, software and services categories for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net sales amounts.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Our gross profit across the business and related to product versus services sales are, and will continue to be, impacted by partner incentives, which can change significantly in the amounts made available and the related product or services sales being incentivized by the partner. These changes could impact our results of operations to the extent we are unable to remediate and respond to them.

2017 Compared to 2016

Net Sales. Net sales increased 22%, or $1.2 billion, in 2017 compared to 2016. Net sales of products (hardware and software) increased 21% and net sales of services increased 36% in 2017 compared to 2016 (as reclassified). Our net sales by operating segment for 2017 and 2016 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

   2017   2016   % Change 

North America

  $5,181,734   $3,971,828    30

Net sales in North America increased 30%, or $1.2 billion, in 2017 compared to 2016, including 17% year over year growth in our core business driven by higher volume of sales from new and existing clients, and the addition of Datalink, which reported $524.3 million in net sales in 2017. Net sales of hardware, software and services increased 37%, 14% and 40%, respectively, year over year. The improvement in net sales in the hardware category reflects higher volume of sales to large enterprise clients and was due primarily to strong growth in data center solutions as well as client devices. Strong growth in our core business was complemented by the addition of Datalink, which accounted for approximately 29% of the year over year growth in the hardware category. The increase in the software category was also affected by the acquisition of Datalink, which accounted for approximately 70% of the year over year increase. The increase in services net sales reflects the addition of Datalink to our business, offset partially by declines in technical services projects in our core business in 2017 compared to 2016. Services net sales during 2017 also reflected the continued trend toward higher sales of cloud-based offerings and a higher mix of software maintenance sales that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis, with net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction. Our net sales by offering category for North America for 2017 and 2016 (as reclassified), were as follows (dollars in thousands):

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Net sales in EMEA increased 1%, or $16.9 million, in 2017 compared to 2016. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased 2% in 2017 compared to 2016. Net sales of hardware and services were up 11% and 15%, respectively, year over year, while net sales of software declined 7% year to year. The increase in hardware net sales was due primarily to higher volume sales of client devices, storage and networking solutions to public sector clients. The increase in services net sales was due primarily to increased sales of license consulting services and partner delivered services to new and existing clients across the region. In addition, a higher volume of sales of software maintenance and cloud subscription products that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis, with net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction, are included in the services category. The decrease in software net sales was driven by a single significant transaction during the prior year period affecting the year over year comparison. Our net sales by offering category for EMEA for 2017 and 2016 (as reclassified), were as follows (dollars in thousands):

In EMEA, fees earned from activities reported on a net basis of $48,586,000 that were previously reported as part of our software product category in 2016 were reclassified to services to conform to the current year presentation.

Net sales in APAC decreased 5%, or $8.7 million, in 2017 compared to 2016. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, net sales decreased 7% in 2017 compared to 2016. Increases in hardware and services net sales year over year were offset by a decrease in software net sales during 2017 compared to 2016, resulting from the timing of a single client agreement in the public sector that historically transacted in the fourth quarter but instead transacted in the first quarter of 2018 this year. The growth in hardware net sales was primarily due to our continued expansion of hardware offerings in this market. The growth in services net sales resulted from the contributions of Ignia, as well as a higher volume of sales of software maintenance and cloud subscriptions products that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis in 2017 compared to 2016.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

North America’s gross profit in 2017 increased 32% compared to 2016, and as a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased by approximately 10 basis points year over year. The year over year increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to a net increase in product margin, which includes partner funding and freight, of 30 basis points year over year. The net increase in product margin was due primarily to improvements in hardware and software product margin during 2017 compared to 2016 due to the acquisition of Datalink, which includes sales of data center products at higher gross margins then in our core business. The positive effect of the Datalink acquisition was partially offset by lower product margin in our core business due to a higher mix of business with large enterprise clients, where margins tend to be lower than other client groups. Services margin improvement year over year of 11 basis points was driven by an increase in margin generated by sales of warranty services during 2017 compared to 2016, which was driven by the acquisition of Datalink. These increases in margin were offset partially by a decrease in margin from lower fees from enterprise software agreements of 23 basis points during 2017 compared to 2016. The year over year comparison was also affected by a $2.2 million insurance settlement recognized during 2016 as a reduction of cost of sales due to the nature of the related insured loss previously recorded.

EMEA’s gross profit in 2017 increased 2% compared to 2016. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, gross profit was up 4% in 2017 compared to 2016. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased by approximately 10 basis points year over year. The year over year improvement in gross margin was primarily attributable to a 60 basis point increase in services margin due to a higher volume of higher margin services net sales during 2017 compared to 2016 as well as the positive effect on services margin that resulted from the higher volume of sales that were recorded on a net sales recognition basis in 2017 compared to 2016. The improvement in gross margin resulting from higher margin services net sales was partially offset by a net decrease in product margin, which includes partner funding and freight, of 50 basis points during 2017 compared to 2016. The decline in product margin primarily resulted from lower margins on large enterprise and public sector deals transacted during 2017.

APAC’s gross profit increased 15% in 2017 compared to 2016, with gross margin increasing to 22.0% in 2017 from 18.2% in 2016. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, gross profit increased 13% in 2017 compared to 2016. The improvement in gross margin in 2017 compared to 2016 was due primarily to the positive effect on services margin that results from the higher volume of sales that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis, an increase in the mix of higher margin services net sales and the margin contribution from increases in hardware net sales during 2017 compared to 2016.

Operating Expenses.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $138.1 million in 2017 compared to 2016. Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately 10 basis points as a percentage of net sales in 2017 compared to 2016.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales by operating segment for 2017 and 2016 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

North America’s selling and administrative expenses increased 32%, or $129.5 million, in 2017 compared to 2016, and increased approximately 10 basis points year over year as a percentage of net sales to 10.2% of net sales in 2017. The increase in expenses reflects the addition of Datalink to our North America business effective January 2017 and an increase in selling and administrative expenses in our core business of approximately 5% compared to 2016. The addition of Datalink was the primary driver for the $62.4 million increase in salaries and wages, contract labor and teammate benefit expenses for 2017 compared to 2016, as well as year over year increases in travel and entertainment, facilities and marketing expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense also increased approximately $6.0 million year over year, as amortization expense of $11.5 million, associated with the intangible assets acquired from Datalink, was offset partially by the year over year effect of intangible assets acquired in previous acquisitions being fully amortized in the third quarter of 2016. Additionally, increased sales and gross profit in 2017 compared to 2016, resulted in a $37.0 million increase in variable compensation year over year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

EMEA’s selling and administrative expenses increased 3%, or $4.0 million, in 2017 compared to 2016, and increased approximately 10 basis points to 12.1% of net sales in 2017. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, selling and administrative expenses increased 4% compared to 2016. The increase in expenses was primarily driven by a $3.1 million increase in salaries and wages and teammate benefits expenses due to increased headcount. This year over year increase in selling and administrative expenses was offset partially by a decrease in amortization expense during 2017 compared to 2016, as intangible assets acquired in previous acquisitions were fully amortized in the third quarter of 2016.

APAC’s selling and administrative expenses increased 19%, or $4.6 million, in 2017 compared to 2016, and increased approximately 350 basis points to 17.0% of net sales in 2017. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, selling and administrative expenses increased 16% compared to 2016. The year over year increase was primarily driven by increased selling and administrative expenses as a result of the acquisition of Ignia, effective September 1, 2016, which accounted for over half of the year over year increase in selling and administrative expenses. Additionally, salaries and wages expenses increased as we invested to support growth in cloud and services sales.

Severance and Restructuring Expenses. During 2017, North America, EMEA and APAC recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $4.0 million, $4.9 million and $104,000, respectively. The North America charges related to severance actions taken to realign roles and responsibilities subsequent to the acquisition of Datalink in January 2017, as well as a headcount reduction as part of cost reduction initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2017. The EMEA charges primarily related to headcount reductions in France, Germany and the Netherlands as part our cost reduction and restructuring initiatives in EMEA. The APAC charges primarily related to severance actions taken subsequent to the acquisition of Ignia. Current period charges were offset by adjustments for changes in estimates of previous accruals as cash payments were made during 2017. During 2016, North America, EMEA and APAC recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $3.0 million, $1.5 million and $118,000, respectively. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of severance and restructuring activities.

Acquisition-related Expenses. During 2017, we incurred $3.2 million in direct third-party transaction costs related to the acquisition of Datalink in North America and $106,000 in such costs related to the acquisition of Caase.com in EMEA. Comparatively, during 2016, we incurred $4.3 million in such costs related to the acquisition of Datalink in North America and $169,000 in such costs related to the acquisition of Ignia in APAC. See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of acquisitions.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense.

Interest Income. Interest income for 2017 and 2016 was generated from interest earned on cash and cash equivalent bank balances. The slight increase in interest income year over year is primarily due to higher interest rates earned on such balances and to higher average interest-bearing cash and cash equivalent balances during 2017.

Interest Expense. Interest expense primarily relates to borrowings under our financing facilities and imputed interest under our inventory financing facility. Interest expense increased 122%, or $10.5 million, in 2017 compared to 2016 due primarily to borrowings under our Term Loan A (“TLA”) as well as higher borrowing rates and higher average daily balances under our other financing facilities, in 2017 compared to 2016, while imputed interest under our inventory financing facility increased $3.3 million from 2016 to 2017 to $6.7 million. For a description of our various financing facilities, see Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Net Foreign Currency Exchange Gains/Losses. These gains/losses result from foreign currency transactions, including foreign currency derivative contracts and intercompany balances that are not considered long-term in nature. The change in net foreign currency exchange gains/losses is due primarily to the underlying changes in the applicable exchange rates, partially mitigated by our use of foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies on certain of ournon-functional currency assets and liabilities.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net, consists primarily of bank fees associated with our cash management activities and was relatively flat in 2017 compared to 2016.

Income Tax Expense.Our effective tax rate for 2017 was 43.0% compared to 39.3% in 2016. The increase in the tax rate from 2016 to 2017 was primarily due to the effect of U.S. federal tax reform that was enacted in December 2017, which accounted for 8.4% of our effective tax rate. The effective tax rate in 2017 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the effect of U.S. federal tax reform enacted during the fourth quarter of 2017, as previously noted, as well as state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefits, and increases in the valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions. These increases in our effective tax rate in 2017 were offset partially by lower taxes on earnings in foreign jurisdictions. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of income tax expense.

2016 Compared to 2015

As previously noted, the sales mix among our hardware, software and services categories for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been reclassified to conform to changes made to the current year presentation, as reflected in the following results of operations discussion for these periods. These changes in classification had no effect on previously reported total net sales, total costs of goods sold or gross profit amounts.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 2%, or $112.4 million, in 2016 compared to 2015. Net sales of products (hardware and software) increased 1% and net sales of services increased 14% in 2016 (as reclassified) compared to 2015 (as reclassified). Our net sales by operating segment for 2016 and 2015 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Net sales in North America increased 4%, or $148.3 million, in 2016 compared to 2015. Net sales of hardware and services (as reclassified) increased 5% and 12%, respectively, year over year, while net sales of software (as reclassified) decreased 1% year to year. The improvement in net sales in the hardware category was due primarily to higher sales of client devices, servers and storage products. The increase in services net sales reflects the BlueMetal acquisition in October 2015 as well as organic growth in technical services projects. Services net sales during 2016 also reflected the continued trend toward higher sales of cloud-based offerings and a higher mix of software maintenance sales that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis, with net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction. Our net sales by offering category for North America for 2016 (as reclassified) and 2015 (as reclassified), were as follows (dollars in thousands):

In North America, fees earned from activities reported on a net basis of $270,000 and $87,984,000 that were previously reported as part of our hardware and software product categories, respectively, in 2016, and fees earned from activities reported on a net basis of $24,000 and $74,101,000 that were previously reported as part of our hardware and software product categories, respectively, in 2015, were reclassified to services to conform to the current year presentation.

Net sales in EMEA decreased 2%, or $32.6 million, in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased 4% in 2016 compared to 2015. Net sales of software (as reclassified) were up 1% year over year, while net sales of hardware and services (as reclassified) were down 9% and 1%, respectively, year to year. The increase in software net sales in 2016 compared to 2015 was driven by increased volume with large enterprise clients. The decrease in services net sales was due primarily to the relative impact year over year of the volume of sales of software maintenance and cloud subscription products that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis, offset partially by increased sales of license consulting services and partner delivered third-party services to new and existing clients across the region. Our net sales by offering category for EMEA for 2016 (as reclassified) and 2015 (as reclassified), were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Net sales in APAC decreased 2%, or $3.3 million, in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, net sales in 2016 remained flat compared to 2015. An increase in services and hardware net sales year over year was offset by a decrease in software net sales during 2016 compared to 2015.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 4%, or $26.8 million, in 2016 compared to 2015, with gross margin increasing approximately 20 basis points to 13.5% of net sales. Our gross profit and gross profit as a percent of net sales by operating segment for 2016 and 2015 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

   2016   % of Net

North America’s gross profit in 2016 increased 5% compared to 2015, and as a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased by approximately 10 basis points year over year. The year over year increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to increases in supplier discounts year over year as we took advantage of early pay discounts offered by certain of our partners, which generated a 6 basis point improvement in margin year over year. During 2016, we also recognized a $2.2 million insurance settlement as a reduction of cost of sales due to the nature of the related insured loss previously recorded. The insurance settlement accounted for 6 basis points of the year over year margin expansion during 2016 compared to 2015. Although an increase in higher margin consulting services sales generated a 15 basis point improvement in gross margin year over year, the increase was partially offset by a decline in margin generated by sales of warranty services of 12 basis points year to year.

EMEA’s gross profit remained flat in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, gross profit was up 7% in 2016 compared to 2015. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased by approximately 30 basis points year over year. The year over year increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the positive effect on gross margin that results from the higher volume of sales that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis within the net sales line item. Changes in the mix and size of transactions and an increase in partner funding earlier in 2016 also contributed to the margin improvement during 2016 compared to 2015. In addition, we recognized an increase in margin resulting from higher fees from enterprise software agreements during 2016 compared to 2015.

APAC’s gross profit increased 12% in 2016 compared to 2015, with gross margin increasing to 18.2% in 2016 from 16.0% in 2015. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, gross profit increased 14% in 2016 compared to 2015. The improvement in gross margin in 2016 compared to 2015 was due primarily to the positive effect on margin that results from the higher volume of sales that are recorded on a net sales recognition basis, an increase in the mix of higher margin services net sales, higher partner funding and an increase in hardware sales during 2016 compared to 2015.

Operating Expenses.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $337,000 in 2016 compared to 2015. Selling and administrative expenses decreased approximately 20 basis points as a percentage of net sales in 2016 compared to 2015.

North America’s selling and administrative expenses increased 1%, or $4.7 million, in 2016 compared to 2015, but decreased approximately 30 basis points year to year as a percentage of net sales to 10.1% of net sales in 2016. Teammate benefits expense, including healthcare expenses, increased $6.0 million year over year due to an increase in healthcare claims, and variable compensation increased $4.6 million as a result of the increase in net sales and gross profit year over year. These increases in expenses during 2016 compared to 2015 were partially offset by a decline in the provision for losses on accounts receivable of $3.4 million in 2016 compared to 2015 due to favorable collection results and a decrease in salaries and wages and contract labor of $2.7 million resulting from cost reduction initiatives implemented earlier in 2016 across our North America business. Our results for 2015 included anon-cash charge of $800,000 to reduce the carrying amount of our real estate held for sale to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

EMEA’s selling and administrative expenses decreased 3%, or $5.6 million, in 2016 compared to 2015, and decreased approximately 10 basis points to 12.0% of net sales in 2016. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, selling and administrative expenses increased 3% compared to the prior year. The increase in expenses (excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates) was primarily driven by increased salaries and wages and teammate benefits expenses attributed to higher average cost per head in conjunction with our investments in sales and services related headcount to support services and cloud growth across the region.

APAC’s selling and administrative expenses increased 6%, or $1.2 million, in 2016 compared to 2015, and increased approximately 90 basis points to 13.5% of net sales in 2016. Excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, selling and administrative expenses increased 7% compared to the prior year. The year over year increase is primarily driven by higher variable compensation as a result of the increase in gross profit year over year and increased selling and administrative expenses as a result of the acquisition of Ignia, a business technology consulting and managed services provider, effective September 1, 2016.

Severance and Restructuring Expenses. During 2016, North America, EMEA and APAC recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $3.0 million, $1.5 million and $118,000, respectively. The North America charges related to a headcount reduction as part of cost reduction initiatives early in 2016 noted previously, while the EMEA charges related to significant restructuring activities, primarily in the United Kingdom, Germany and France, as we worked to reduce our selling and administrative expenses in EMEA. Current period charges were offset by adjustments for changes in estimates of previous accruals as cash payments were made during 2016. During 2015, North America and EMEA recorded severance expense, net of adjustments, totaling $1.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. APAC did not record any severance expense in 2015. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of severance and restructuring activities.

Acquisition-related Expenses. During 2016, we incurred $169,000 in direct third-party transaction costs related to the acquisition of Ignia and $4.3 million in such costs related to the acquisition of Datalink that was completed on January 6, 2017. See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of acquisitions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Non-Operating (Income) Expense.

Interest Income. Interest income for 2016 and 2015 was generated from interest earned on cash and cash equivalent bank balances. The increase in interest income year over year is primarily due to higher interest rates earned on such balances and to higher average interest-bearing cash and cash equivalent balances during 2016.

Interest Expense. Interest expense primarily relates to borrowings under our financing facilities and imputed interest under our inventory financing facility. Interest expense increased 19% in 2016 compared to 2015 due primarily to higher borrowing rates and higher average daily balances under our debt facilities in 2016 compared to 2015, while imputed interest under our inventory financing facility remained flat from 2015 to 2016 at $3.4 million. For a description of our various financing facilities, see Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Net Foreign Currency Exchange Gains/Losses. These gains/losses result from foreign currency transactions, including foreign currency derivative contracts and intercompany balances that are not considered long-term in nature. The change in net foreign currency exchange gains/losses is due primarily to the underlying changes in the applicable exchange rates, partially mitigated by our use of foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies on certain of ournon-functional currency assets and liabilities.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net, consists primarily of bank fees associated with our cash management activities.

Income Tax Expense.Our effective tax rate for 2016 was 39.3% compared to 36.4% in 2015. The increase in the tax rate from 2015 to 2016 was primarily due to the effect of a change in tax law that was enacted in December 2016 related to the taxation of foreign currency translation gains or losses arising from qualified business units and the effect ofnon-deductible acquisition-related expenses incurred in 2016. The effective tax rate in 2016 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the increases in the valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions and state taxes in the United States as well as the tax law change during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the effect ofnon-deductible acquisition-related expenses incurred in 2016, as noted previously. These increases in our effective tax rate in 2016 were offset partially by lower taxes on earnings in foreign jurisdictions. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for further discussion of income tax expense.

Cash and Cash Flow

Our primary uses of cash during 2017 were to fund working capital requirements, pay down our debt balances, fund capital expenditures and acquire Caase.com and Datalink. Operating activities used $305.4 million in cash in 2017. Both the 2017 and 2016 results are affected by individually significant transactions at each year end, whereby a single significant receivable was collected from a client in the fourth quarter of the year for which the related payment to the supplier was due and paid in January of the following year, as discussed in more detail below. During 2017, we had net combined borrowings on our long-term debt facilities of $269.3 million and acquired Caase.com and Datalink for $6.0 million and $180.9 million, respectively, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired. Capital expenditures were $19.2 million in 2017, a 57% increase from 2016, reflecting higher IT investments in our core ERP systems ande-commerce and digital marketing platforms year over year. Cash and cash equivalent balances in 2017 were positively affected by $15.9 million as a result of foreign currency exchange rates.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

We anticipate that cash flows from operations, together with the funds available under our financing facilities, will be adequate to support our cash and working capital requirements for operations as well as other strategic investments over the next 12 months. We expect existing cash and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating cash activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as capital expenditures, repurchases of our common stock and debt repayments, for at least the next 12 months.

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities. Cash flows from operating activities reflect our net earnings, adjusted fornon-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and write-offs and write-downs of assets, as well as changes in asset and liability balances. Net earnings for 2017 was also adjusted for the loss on sale of our Russia business, which included anon-cash charge for the release of our cumulative translation adjustment balance upon sale of the foreign entity. As noted previously, our net sales grew 22% in 2017 and in particular, our North America net sales grew 30%. This level of growth required significant working capital investments as we experienced higher demand for inventory positions with key clients and, at the same time, our accounts receivable balances began to age as collection efforts did not keep up with the growth. The 2017 results also reflect the collection of a single significant receivable from a client in the fourth quarter of 2016 for which the related payment to the supplier of approximately $160 million was due and paid in January 2017, as noted previously. Further impacting our operating cash flows was the fact that we report cash flows associated with trade payables financed under our inventory financing facility in the financing section of our statement of cash flows. In 2017, and most notably in the fourth quarter, we expanded the use of that facility with certain vendors. Had we not leveraged the facility during 2017, the net borrowings under our inventory financing facility of $141.0 million that are reflected as cash flows provided by financing activities would have been included within trade payables, which are reflected in the operating activities section of our statement of cash flows. The increase in inventories was primarily attributable to an increase in inventory levels at December 31, 2017 to support specific client engagements. The decrease in deferred revenue was a result of revenue recognition in 2017 on a number of larger client transactions in North America for which monies had been collected from clients prior to December 31, 2016, in advance of meeting the criteria for revenue recognition.

In 2016, the increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable reflected increased sales and associated costs of goods sold, respectively, in 2016 compared to 2015. However, the 2016 results were also affected by a single significant receivable collected from a client in the fourth quarter of 2016 for which the related payment to the supplier of approximately $160 million was due and paid in January 2017, as noted previously. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we had a similar experience with a significant receivable collected in the quarter for which the payment to the supplier of approximately $60 million was not made until the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the effects of these two individually significant timing differences, cash flow from operations would have been nominal for 2016. Additionally, the increase in accounts payable reflected as cash provided by operating activities in 2016 was affected by the increased use of our inventory financing facility in 2016 to facilitate the purchase of inventory from various suppliers. Increases in accounts payable under this facility were reflected as cash provided by financing activities, as discussed below. Had these purchases been made without using the inventory financing facility during 2016, the net borrowings under our inventory financing facility of $48.6 million that were reflected as cash flows from financing activities would have been reflected as an increase in accounts payable, which would have been an increase in cash provided by operating activities. We used more working capital in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, as our sales growth was weighted to the last two months of the current year. The $50.1 million increase in other assets was primarily a result of our deferral of costs for certain payments made or payable to partners at December 31, 2016, in advance of our being able to recognize the related revenue. The $28.9 million increase in inventories was primarily attributable to an increase in inventory levels at December 31, 2016, to support specific client engagements and hardware sale transactions in transit to clients as of December 31, 2016 such that delivery was not deemed to have occurred until the product was received by the client in early January 2017.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

In 2015, the increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable reflected increased sales and associated costs of goods sold, respectively, in 2015 compared to 2014. However, the 2015 results were also affected by the single significant receivable collected from a client in the fourth quarter of 2015 for which the related payment to the supplier of approximately $60 million was due and paid in January 2016, as noted previously. The increase in other assets was primarily a result of our deferral of costs for certain payments made or payable to partners at December 31, 2015, in advance of our being able to recognize the related revenue. As a result, cash flows from operating activities in 2015 exceeded our historical average annual cash flow generation of $80 million to $120 million.

Our consolidated cash flow operating metrics for the quarters ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

   2017   2016   2015 

Days sales outstanding in ending accounts receivable (“DSOs”)(a)

   94    90    87

Cash conversion cycle (days)(d)

   35    14    20 
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

(a)Calculated as the balance of accounts receivable, net at the end of the period divided by daily net sales. Daily net sales is calculated as net sales for the quarter divided by 92 days.
(b)Calculated as average inventories (excluding inventories not available for sale) divided by daily costs of goods sold. Average inventories is calculated as the sum of the balances of inventories at the beginning of the period plus inventories at the end of the period divided by two. Daily costs of goods sold is calculated as costs of goods sold for the quarter divided by 92 days.
(c)Calculated as the sum of the balances of accounts payable – trade and accounts payable – inventory financing facility at the end of the period divided by daily costs of goods sold. Daily costs of goods sold is calculated as costs of goods sold for the quarter divided by 92 days.
(d)Calculated as DSOs plus DIOs, less DPOs.

Our cash conversion cycle was 35 days in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to 14 days in the fourth quarter of 2016. Our 2016 cash conversion cycle was below our target range of 20 to 25 days as a result of unusually high DPOs associated with the $160 million payment timing difference in North America at the end of the prior year period, as discussed below. Our 2017 cash conversion cycle was above our target range due to the increases in our inventory and accounts receivable balances noted above. We expect working capital trends to return to normalized levels and have action plans in place to improve our cash flow efficiency in 2018.

Our cash conversion cycle was 14 days in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of six days from the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to an 11 day increase in DPOs driven by a single significant payment to a supplier in North America that was due and paid in January 2017. Although the payment to the supplier was not due until afteryear-end, we collected on the accounts receivable from the client in the fourth quarter of 2016 under normal credit terms. Both the 2016 and 2015 results are affected by individually significant transactions at each year end; however, the magnitude of the 2016 transaction had a greater effect on DPOs. The computation of DPOs for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 includes a payable to a supplier of $160 million, and the computation of DPOs for the quarter ended December 30, 2015 includes a payable to a supplier of $60 million, both of which do not have corresponding accounts receivable outstanding as of the end of the respective periods.

Our cash conversion cycle was 20 days in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of four days from the fourth quarter of 2014, due primarily to an increase in DPOs in North America driven by a single significant payment to a supplier that was due and paid in January 2016, after the resolution of certain invoicing issues with the supplier. Although we did not pay the supplier until afteryear-end, we collected on the accounts receivable from the client in the fourth quarter of 2015 under normal credit terms.

We expect that cash flow from operations will be used, at least partially, to fund working capital as we typically pay our partners on average terms that are shorter than the average terms we grant to our clients in order to take advantage of supplier discounts. We intend to use cash generated in 2018 in excess of working capital needs to support our capital expenditures for the year, to repurchase shares of our common stock and to pay down our debt balances. We also may use cash to fund potential acquisitions.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Net cash used in investing activities. Capital expenditures of $19.2 million, $12.3 million and $13.4 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were primarily related to technology and facility enhancements. We expect total capital expenditures in 2018 to be between $15.0 million and $20.0 million, primarily for technology-related upgrade projects and the integration of prior acquisitions.

During 2017 we acquired Caase.com and Datalink for $6.0 million and $180.9 million, respectively, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired. During 2016, we acquired Ignia for $10.8 million, net of cash acquired, and during 2015, we acquired BlueMetal for $44.2 million, net of cash acquired.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During 2017, we had net combined borrowings on our long-term debt under our revolving facility, TLA and accounts receivable securitization facility (“ABS facility”) of $269.3 million and had net borrowings under our inventory financing facility of $141.0 million. During 2016, we made net combined repayments on our long-term debt under our revolving facility and our ABS facility of $49.5 million and had net borrowings under our inventory financing facility of $48.6 million. In 2016, we also funded $50.0 million of repurchases of our common stock. During 2015, we had net combined borrowings on our long-term debt under our revolving facility and our ABS facility of $28.0 million and made net repayments under our inventory financing facility of $16.5 million. In 2015, we also funded $91.8 million of repurchases of our common stock.

Financing Facilities

As of December 31, 2017, our long-term debt balance includes $25.0 million outstanding under our $250.0 million ABS facility and $117.5 million outstanding under our $350.0 million revolving facility. In connection with the acquisition of Datalink on January 6, 2017, we amended our revolving facility to expand the facility by $175.0 million in the form of a TLA that requires amortization payments in years one through five. As of December 31, 2017, we had $166.3 million outstanding under our TLA. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a description of our amendment to our revolving facility in connection with our acquisition of Datalink.

As of December 31, 2017, the current portion of our long-term debt relates to our capital leases and other financing obligations as well as the amortization payments due in 2018 under our TLA. Our objective is to pay our debt balances down while retaining adequate cash balances to meet overall business objectives.

While the ABS facility has a stated maximum amount, the actual availability under the ABS facility is limited by the quantity and quality of the underlying accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2017, qualified receivables were sufficient to permit access to the full $250.0 million under the ABS facility.

Our consolidated debt balance that can be outstanding at the end of any fiscal quarter under our revolving facility, our TLA and our ABS facility is limited by certain financial covenants, particularly a maximum leverage ratio. The maximum leverage ratio is calculated as aggregate debt outstanding divided by the sum of the Company’s trailing twelve month net earnings (loss) plus (i) interest expense, excludingnon-cash imputed interest on our inventory financing facility, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization,(iv) non-cash stock-based compensation, (v) extraordinary ornon-recurringnon-cash losses or expenses and (vi) certain cash restructuring and acquisition-related charges and synergies, not to exceed a specified cap (“adjusted earnings”). The maximum leverage ratio permitted under the facilities was increased to 3.50 times trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings in connection with the acquisition of Datalink in January 2017. We anticipate that we will be in compliance with our maximum leverage ratio requirements, which will decrease to 3.25 in 2018, over the next four quarters. However, a significant drop in the Company’s adjusted earnings would limit the amount of indebtedness that could be outstanding at the end of any fiscal quarter to a level that would be below the Company’s consolidated maximum facility amounts. Based on the maximum permitted leverage ratio as of December 31, 2017, the Company’s debt balance that could have been outstanding under our revolving facility, TLA and ABS facility was the full amount of the maximum borrowing capacity of $766.3 million.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Our revolving facility, our TLA and our ABS facility contain various covenants customary for transactions of this type, including limitations on the payment of dividends and the requirement that we comply with maximum leverage and minimum fixed charge ratio requirements, comply with a minimum receivable requirement and meet monthly, quarterly and annual reporting requirements. If we fail to comply with these covenants, the lenders would be able to demand payment within a specified time period. At December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all such covenants. Further, the terms of the ABS facility identify various circumstances that would result in an “amortization event” under the facility. As of December 31, 2017, no such “amortization event” had occurred.

We also have an agreement with a financial intermediary to facilitate the purchase of inventory from various suppliers under certain terms and conditions. These amounts are classified separately as accounts payable - inventory financing facility in our consolidated balance sheets.

The aggregate availability for vendor purchases under our inventory financing facility is $325,000,000. From time to time and at our option, we may request to increase the aggregate amount available under the inventory financing facility by up to an aggregate of $25,000,000, subject to customary conditions. The facility matures on June 23, 2021. Additionally, the facility may be renewed under certain circumstances described in the agreement for successive12-month periods. Interest does not accrue on accounts payable under this facility provided the accounts payable are paid within stated vendor terms (typically 60 days).

Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report also include: a description of our financing facilities; amounts outstanding; amounts available and weighted average borrowings and interest rates during the year.

Undistributed Foreign Earnings

Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to U.S. income taxation upon repatriation to the United States. As a result of the U.S. federal tax reform enacted in December 2017, all undistributed foreign earnings are deemed distributed. We provided for U.S. income and withholding taxes on the earnings deemed distributed from all of our foreign subsidiaries during 2017. As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately $87.1 million in cash and cash equivalents in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017, the majority of our foreign cash resides in the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. Certain of these cash balances will be remitted to the United States by paying down intercompany payables generated in the ordinary course of business or though actual dividend distributions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have entered intooff-balance sheet arrangements, which include guaranties and indemnifications. These arrangements are discussed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report. We believe that none of ouroff-balance sheet arrangements have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

II.Estimated interest payments of $4.1 million in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and $2.1 million in the first six months of 2021, based on the current debt balance at December 31, 2017 of $117.5 million under our revolving facility, multiplied by the floating interest rate applicable at December 31, 2017 of 3.49% per annum.
III.Estimated interest payments of $5.7 million in 2018, $5.2 million in 2019, $4.5 million in 2020 and $2.0 million in the first six months of 2021, based on the current debt balance at December 31, 2017 of $166.3 million under our TLA, multiplied by the floating interest rate applicable at December 31, 2017 of 3.57% per annum.
IV.Amounts totaling $197,000 through 2018 for other contractual obligations.

The table above excludes $4.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including $287,000 related to accrued interest, as we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of settlement. See further discussion in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Although we set purchase targets with our partners tied to the amount of supplier reimbursements we receive, we have no material contractual purchase obligations with our partners.

Acquisitions

Our strategy includes the possible acquisition of or investments in other businesses to expand or complement our operations or to add certain services capabilities. The magnitude, timing and nature of any future acquisitions or investments will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of suitable candidates, the negotiation of acceptable terms, our financial capabilities and general economic and business conditions. Financing for future transactions would result in the utilization of cash, incurrence of additional debt, issuance of stock or some combination of the three. See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a discussion of our acquisitions of Caase.com on September 26, 2017 and Datalink on January 6, 2017 and the amendment to our revolving facility to fund, in part, the acquisition of Datalink.

Inflation

We have historically not been adversely affected by inflation, as technological advances and competition within the IT industry have generally caused the prices of the products we sell to decline and product life cycles tend to be short. This requires our growth in unit sales to exceed the decline in prices in order to increase our net sales. We believe that most price increases could be passed on to our clients, as prices charged by us are not set by long-term contracts; however, as a result of competitive pressure, there can be no assurance that the full effect of any such price increases could be passed on to our clients.

Insight Enterprises, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”)Company) as of December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017,2022, and the related notes (collectively, the “consolidatedconsolidated financial statements”)statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017,2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 23, 2018,16, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for its convertible debt instrument in 2022 due to the adoption of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.
Basis for Opinion


These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
48


Evaluation of revenue recognition
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service or by arranging for the sales of a vendor’s product or service to a client. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration received in a contract with a client, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company offers hardware and software products, as well as services. Given the number of product and service offerings, significant judgment is exercised by the Company in recognizing revenue, including the following decisions:
Determining the point in time when a customer takes control of hardware.
Determining the point in time when the customer acquires or renews the right to use or copy software under license and control transfers to the customer.
Evaluating the Company as either a principal or an agent for hardware and software products and services, and the related recognition of revenue from the customer on a gross or a net basis.
Determining an appropriate pattern of revenue recognition for service performance obligations.
We identified the evaluation of revenue recognition as a critical audit matter because the audit effort to evaluate the Company’s revenue recognition judgments, including those noted above, was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the revenue recognition process, including controls related to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition and gross versus net revenue recognition. As part of testing the Company’s internal controls, we also involved information technology (IT) professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in testing of general IT controls over significant systems and the evaluation of system interface controls and automated controls designed to determine the existence, accuracy, and completeness of revenue. We evaluated the Company’s significant accounting policies related to its product and service offerings by reviewing the terms of certain vendor and customer contracts and comparing the policies to the revenue recognition standard. We selected a sample of revenue transactions and performed the following for each selection:
Obtained evidence of a contract with the customer.
Compared the amounts recognized and timing of revenue recognition to underlying documentation, including purchase orders, shipping documentation, and evidence of payment, if applicable.
Evaluated the Company’s application of their accounting policies to determine the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized.
Tested the presentation of revenue as gross or net by comparing the Company’s gross or net presentation to the attributes of the underlying vendor support and the Company’s accounting policy.

Insight Enterprises, Inc.:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Insight Enterprises, Inc.’s and subsidiariessubsidiaries' (the “Company”)Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2022, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017,2022, and the related notes (collectively, the “consolidatedconsolidated financial statements”)statements), and our report dated February 23, 201816, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible 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 item 9A(a),Management’sManagement's Annual Report on Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting.Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 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 audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


51


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.

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Included in our accounts receivable, net balance at December 31, 2022 and 2021 is $11,069,000 and $15,316,000, respectively, of accounts receivable from an unconsolidated affiliate. References to “the Company,” “Insight,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar words refer to Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise.

Acquisition Accounting
The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes estimates and assumptions. Initial purchase price allocations are subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition.
58


INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Acquisition-related expenses and transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales recognition, anticipated achievement levels under partner funding programs, assumptions related to stock-based compensation valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, litigation-related obligations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and impairment of long-lived assets, including purchased intangibles and goodwill, if indicators of potential impairment exist.

Cash, and Cash Equivalents

and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Book overdrafts represent the amount by which outstanding checks issued, but not yet presented to our banks for disbursement, exceed balances on deposit in applicable bank accounts and a legal right of offset with our positive cash balances in other financial institution accounts does not exist. Our book overdrafts, which are not directly linked to a credit facility or other bank overdraft arrangement, do not result in an actual bank financing, but rather constitute normal unpaid trade payables at the end of a reporting period. These amounts are included within our accounts payable balance in our consolidated balance sheets. The changes in these book overdrafts are included within the changes in accounts payable line item as a component of cash flows from operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Restricted cash generally includes any cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage. These amounts are included with cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statement of cash flows. All cash receipts/payments with third parties directly to/from restricted cash accounts are reported as an operating, investing or financing cash flow, based on the nature of the transaction.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect our best estimate of probable losses inherent in our accounts receivable balance. The allowance is based on our evaluation of the aging of the receivables, historical write-offs and the current economic environment. We write off individual accounts against the reserve when we no longer believe that it is probable that we will collect the receivable because we become aware of a client’s or partner’s inability to meet its financial obligations. Such awareness may be as a result of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in the client’s or partner’s operating results or financial position.

Inventories

We state inventories, principally purchased IT hardware, at the lower of weighted average cost (which approximates cost under thefirst-in,first-out method) or net realizable value. We evaluate inventories for excess, obsolescence or other factors that may render inventories unmarketable at normal margins. Write-downs are recorded so that inventories reflect the approximate net realizable value and take into account contractual provisions with our partners governing price protection, stock rotation and return privileges relating to obsolescence. Because of the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing the price protection and stock rotation process, estimates are made regarding write-downs of the carrying amount of inventories. Additionally, assumptions about future demand, market conditions and decisions by manufacturers/publishers to discontinue certain products or product lines can affect our decision to write down inventories.

Inventories not available for sale relate to product sales transactions in which we are warehousing the product and will be deploying the product to our clients’ designated locations subsequent toperiod-end. Additionally, we may perform services on a portion of the product prior to shipment to our clients and will be paid a fee for doing so. Although these product contracts arenon-cancelable with customary credit terms beginning the date the inventories are segregated in our warehouse and invoiced to the client and the warranty periods begin on the date of invoice, these transactions do not meet the sales recognition criteria under GAAP. Therefore, we do not record sales and the inventories are classified as inventories not available for sale on our consolidated balance sheet until the product is delivered. If clients remit payment before we deliver the product to them, we record the payments received as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheet until such time as the product is delivered.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Property and Equipment

We record property and equipment at cost. We capitalize major improvements and betterments, while maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed as incurred. Depreciation or amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated economic lives of the assets:

Estimated Economic

Life

Leasehold improvements

Furniture and fixtures

2 – 7 years

Equipment

3 – 5 years

Software

3 – 10 years

Buildings

Costs incurred to developinternal-use software during the application development stage, including capitalized interest, are recorded in property and equipment at cost.

External direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaininginternal-use computer software and payroll and payroll-related costs for teammates who are directly associated with and who devote time tointernal-use computer software development projects, to the extent of the time spent directly on the project and specific to application development, are capitalized.

Reviews are regularly performed to determine whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the usefuleconomic life is shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. When an indication exists that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of our assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Such impairment test is based on the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of those assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. We may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the goodwill impairment test is not required. The quantitative goodwill impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting unit in which goodwill resides to its carrying value. The Company has three reporting units, which are the same as our operating segments. Multiple valuation techniques canwould likely be used to assess the fair value of the reporting unit. All of theseThese techniques include the use of estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value or goodwill impairment, or both.

Intangible Assets

We amortize finite lived intangible assets acquired in business combinations using the straight-line method over the following estimated economic lives of the intangible assets from the date of acquisition:

Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is recorded as a reduction of costs of goods sold.

Self-Insurance

We are self-insured in the United StatesU.S. for medical insurance up to certain annual stop-loss limits and workers’ compensation claims up to certain deductible limits. We establish reserves for claims, both reported and incurred but not reported, using currently available information as well as our historical claims experience.

Treasury Stock

We record repurchases of our common stock as treasury stock at cost. We also record the subsequent retirement of these treasury shares at cost. The excess of the cost of the shares retired over their par value is allocated between additionalpaid-in capital and retained earnings. The amount recorded as a reduction ofpaid-in capital is based on the excess of the average original issue price of the shares over par value. The remaining amount is recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.

Sales Recognition

Sales

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a client, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service or by arranging for the sale of a vendor’s products or service to a client.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are recognized when titleboth imposed on and riskconcurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a client, are excluded from revenue.
We record the freight we bill to our clients as product net sales and the related freight costs we pay as product costs of loss are passed togoods sold.
Nature of Goods and Services
We sell hardware and software products on both a stand-alone basis without any services and as solutions bundled with services.
When we provide a combination of hardware and software products with the provision of services, we separately identify our performance obligations under our contract with the client there is persuasive evidence ofas the distinct goods (hardware and/or software products) or services that will be provided.

The stand-alone selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Our standard sales terms are F.O.B. shipping point or equivalent,the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to a client. We estimate the price based on observable inputs, including direct labor hours and allocable costs, or use observable stand-alone prices when they are available.
Product Offerings
Hardware
We recognize hardware product revenue on a gross basis at the point in time when a client takes control of the hardware, which typically occurs when title and risk of loss have passed to the client. However, because we either (i) have a general practice of covering client losses while products are in transit despite titleat its destination. Our selling terms and risk of loss contractually transferring at the point of shipment or (ii) have specifically stated conditions specify Free On Board (“F.O.B.”) destination contractual terms withsuch that control is transferred from the client, delivery is not deemed to have occurred untilCompany at the point in time when the product is received by the client. We make provisionsThe transaction price for hardware sales is adjusted for estimated product returns that we expect to occur under our return policy based upon historical return rates.

We leverage drop-shipment arrangements with many of our partners and suppliers to deliver products to our clients without having to physically hold the inventory at our warehouses, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. We recognize revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis as the principal in the transaction when the product is received by the client. We recognize revenue on a gross basis as the principal in the transactionclient because we control the transaction asproduct prior to transfer to the client. In addition to other factors considered, we assume primary obligorresponsibility for product fulfillment in the arrangement, we assume inventory risk if the product is returned by the client, we set the price of the product charged to the client we assume credit risk for the amounts invoiced, and we work closely with our clients to determine their hardware specifications.
Bill and software specifications.

Hold Transactions

We record the freight we billoffer a service to our customers whereby clients as net salesmay purchase product that we procure on their behalf and, at our clients’ direction, store the product in our warehouse for a designated period of time, with the intention of deploying the product to the clients’ designated locations at a later date. These warehousing services are designed to help our clients with inventory management challenges associated with technology roll-outs, product that is moving to end of life, or clients needing integrated stock available for immediate deployment. The client is invoiced, title transfers to the client, and revenue is recognized upon receipt of the product at our warehouse. These product contracts are non-cancelable with customary credit terms beginning the date the product is received in our warehouse and the related freight costs we pay as costswarranty periods begin on the date of goods sold. invoice.
Software
We report sales net of any sales-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with sales transactions.

Revenue is recognizedrecognize revenue from software sales on a gross basis at the point in time when clients acquirethe client acquires the right to use or copy software under license but in no case priorand control transfers to the client. For renewals, revenue is recognized upon the commencement of the software license agreement or when the renewal term begins, as applicable.

A substantial portion of the software licenses we sell are perpetual software licenses and do not require renewal or extension after their initial purchase by the client. Such perpetual licenses are periodically subject to true-up, whereby additional perpetual licenses are sold under the client’s pre-existing master agreement. Such true-ups are generally sold in arrears, and clients are invoiced for the additional licenses they had already been utilizing. Since the client already possessed copies of the licensed software prior to the true-up, software revenue related to the underlying additional licenses is recognized when we agree to the true-up with our client and the partner.
For sales transactions for certain security software products that are sold with integral third-party delivered software maintenance, we record the software license on a net basis, as the agent in the arrangement.

Services Offerings
Software Maintenance
Software maintenance agreements provide our clients with the right to obtain any software upgrades, bug fixes and help desk and other support services directly from the software publisher at no additional charge during the term of the initial software license agreement, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met (i.e., evidence of the arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility of the fee is probable).

We sell certain third-party service contracts, software maintenance agreements. We act as the software publisher’s agent in selling these software maintenance agreements and cloud orsoftware-as-a-service subscription products for whichdo not assume any performance obligation to the client under the agreements. As a result, we are not the primary obligor. Theseagent in these transactions and these sales do not meet the criteria for gross sales recognition, and thus are recorded on a net sales recognition basis. As we enter into contracts with third-party service providers or vendors and our clients, we evaluate whether the subsequent sales of such services should be recorded as gross sales or net sales. We determine whether we act as a principal in the transaction and assume the risks and rewards of ownership or if we are simply acting as an agent or broker. Under gross sales recognition, the selling price is recorded in sales and our cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded in costs of goods sold. Under net sales recognition, the cost toof the third-party service provider or vendorsoftware maintenance agreement is recorded as a reduction to sales, resulting in net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction, and there are no costs of goods sold.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Because we are acting as the software publisher’s agent, revenue is recognized when the parties agree to the initial purchase, renewal or extension as our agency services are then complete. We report all fees earned from activities reported net within our services net sales category in our consolidated statements of operations.

Vendor Direct Support Services Contracts
Clients may purchase a vendor direct support services contract through us. Under these contracts, our clients call the manufacturer/publisher or its designated service organization directly for both the initial technical triage and any follow-up assistance. We act as the manufacturer/publisher’s agent in selling these support service contracts and do not assume any performance obligation to the client under the arrangements. As a result, these sales are recorded on a net sales recognition basis similar to software maintenance agreements, as discussed above. Because we are acting as the agent, revenue is recognized when the parties agree to the purchase of the support services contract as our agency services are then complete.
Cloud / Software-as-a-Service Offerings
Cloud or software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) subscription products provide our clients with access to software products hosted in the public cloud without the client taking possession of the software. We act as the agent in selling these software-as-a service subscription products. We do not take control of the software products or assume any performance obligations to the clients related to the provisioning of the offerings in the cloud. As a result, these sales are recorded on a net sales recognition basis. We report all fees earned from activities recognized net within our services net sales category in our consolidated statements of operations. Because we are acting as the agent in the transaction, revenue is recognized when the parties agree to the purchase of the cloud or SaaS offerings as our agency services are then complete. Often, these agency fees are based on end-client usage and therefore are variable throughout the term of the service contract. Where this variable consideration is uncertain, we recognize our agency revenue to the extent that a significant reversal will not occur.
Insight Delivered Services
We design, procure, deploy, implement and manage solutions that combine hardware, software and services to help businesses run smarter. Such services are provided by us or third-party sub-contract vendors as part of bundled arrangements, or are provided separately on a stand-alone basis as technical, consulting or managed services engagements. If the services are provided as part of a bundled arrangement with hardware and software, the hardware, software and services are generally distinct performance obligations. In general, we recognize revenue from services engagements as we perform the underlying services and satisfy our performance obligations.
We recognize revenue forfrom sales of services ratably over the time period over which the service will be provided if there is no discernible pattern of recognitionby measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of the cost to perform the service.related service performance obligation.

Materials Services Contracts

We recognize revenue for professional services engagements that are on a time and materials basis based upon hours incurred for the performance completed to date for which we have the right to consideration, even if such amounts have not yet been invoiced as of period end.
Fixed Fee Services Contracts
We recognize revenue on fixed fee professional services contracts using a proportional performance method of revenue recognition based on the ratio of direct labor and other allocated costs incurred to total estimated direct labor and other allocated costs.
OneCall Support Services Contracts
When we sell certain hardware and/or software products to our clients, we also enter into service contracts with them. These contracts are support service agreements for the hardware and/or software products that were purchased from us. Under certain support services contracts, although we purchase third-party support contracts for maintenance on the specific hardware or software products we have sold, our internal support desk assists the client first by performing an initial technical triage to determine the source of the problem and whether we can direct the client on how to fix the problem. We refer to these services as “OneCall.” We act as the principal in the transaction because we perform the OneCall services are performedover the term of the support service contract and amounts are earned.

Partner Funding

We receive payments and credits from partners, including consideration pursuant to volume sales incentive programs, volume purchase incentive programs and shared marketing expense programs. Partner funding received pursuant to volume sales incentive programs is recognized as it is earned as a reduction to costs of goods sold. Partner funding received pursuant to volume purchase incentive programs is allocated as a reduction to inventories based on the applicable incentives earned from each partner and is recorded in cost of goods sold as the related inventory is sold. Partner funding received pursuant to shared marketing expense programs is recorded as it is earned as a reduction of the related selling and administrative expenses in the period the program takes place if the consideration represents a reimbursement of specific, incremental, identifiable costs. Consideration that exceeds the specific, incremental, identifiable costs is classified as a reduction of costs of goods sold. The amount of partner funding recorded as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses in our statements of operations totaled $53,227,000, $48,114,000$128,153,000, 103,447,000 and $45,146,00085,888,000 in 2017, 20162022, 2021 and 2015,2020, respectively.

Although we are affected by the international economic climate, management does not believe material credit risk concentration existed at December 31, 2017.2022. We monitor our clients’ financial condition and do not require collateral. Sales to the U.S. federal government, which are diversified across multiple agencies and departments, collectively accounts for approximately 9% of our 2017 net sales. Excluding these sales to the federal government, we are not reliant on any one client. No single client accounted for more than 4%10% of our consolidated net sales in 2017.

Partner Risk

Purchases from Microsoft, Techdata (a distributor) and Ingram Micro (a distributor) accounted for approximately 26%22%, 10%, and 9% respectively, of our aggregate purchases in 2017.2022. No other partner accounted for more than 10% of purchases in 2017.2022. Our top five partners as a group for 20172022 were Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Tech DataTechdata (a distributor), Ingram Micro (a distributor), Dell and HP Inc.,Cisco Systems, and approximately 60%55% of our total purchases during 20172022 came from this group of partners. Although brand names and individual products are important to our business, we believe that competitive sources of supply are available in substantially all of our product categories such that, with the exception of Microsoft, we are not dependent on any single partner for sourcing products.

Advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising expense of $47,053,000, $37,565,000$88,667,000, $66,375,000 and $33,568,000$60,865,000 was recorded in 2017, 20162022, 2021 and 2015,2020, respectively. These amounts were predominantly offset by partner funding earned pursuant to shared marketing expense programs recorded as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses, as discussed in “Partner Funding” above.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and the corresponding expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward. Stock-based compensation expense is classified in the same line item of our consolidated statements of operations as other payroll-related expenses specific to the employee. Compensation expense related to service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Compensation expense related to performance-based RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was,in-substance, multiple awards (i.e., a graded vesting basis).

Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Foreign Currencies

We use the U.S. dollar as our reporting currency. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are typically the local currencies. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for each month within the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax – foreign currency translation adjustments as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Net foreign currency transaction gains/losses, including transaction gains/losses on intercompany balances that are not of a long-term investment nature andnon-functional currency cash balances, are reported as a separate component ofin other expense (income), net within non-operating (income) expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk ofnon-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements. These forward contracts are not designated as hedge instruments. The fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities are recorded gross in the other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities sections of our consolidated balance sheets. Gains/losses are recorded net innon-operating (income) expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable earnings in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.

We recognize net deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income,tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

We record uncertain tax positions on the basis of atwo-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet themore-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within the income tax expense line in our consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in our consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies
From time to time, we are subject to potential claims and assessments from third parties. We are also subject to various government agency, client and partner audits. We continually assess whether or not such claims have merit and warrant accrual. An accrual is made if it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such estimates are subject to change and may affect our results of operations and our cash flows.

Net Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted EPS is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding RSUs. RSUs and certain shares underlying our outstanding convertible senior notes (the "Notes").

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017,

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”("ASU") ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test2020-06, “Accounting for Goodwill ImpairmentConvertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. The new standardrequiresguidance is intended to simplify the accounting for certain convertible instruments with characteristics of both liability and equity. The guidance removed certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. As a result, after the adoption of this guidance, an entity to no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairmententity’s convertible debt instrument will be measured using the difference between the carrying amountwholly accounted for as debt.

Wecould have been adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis.
The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are presented under the new standard, when we performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis for 2017while the comparative periods are not adjusted and are reported in accordance with the fourth quarterCompany's old method of 2017 and applied it prospectively.accounting.

2020-06 significantly impacts our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets as we no longer report accreted interest on the Notes and the full par value of the Notes is reflected as debt. The cumulative effect adjustment from prior periods that we recognized in our consolidated balance sheet as adjustments to reduce additional paid in capital and increase retained earnings were $44,731,000 and $17,789,000, respectively. Had we followed the prior method of accounting for the three months ended December 31, 2022, both reported basic and diluted net EPS would decrease by $0.06, from $2.24 and $2.13, respectively, to $2.18 and $2.07, respectively.For the year ended December 31, 2022, reported basic and diluted EPS would decrease by $0.24 and $0.22, respectively, from $8.04 and $7.66, respectively, to $7.80 and $7.44, respectively.
In November 2016,December 2019, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-18, “Restricted Cash.2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The new standard requires companiesis intended to include cashsimplify various aspects of accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions and cash equivalents that have restrictions on withdrawal or use within total cash and cash equivalents when reconciling thebeginning-of-period andend-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.amending certain requirements. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017,2020, and early adoption is permitted. The new standard is required to be adopted retrospectively. We plan to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of 2018 and do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new standard is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. It addresses eight specific cash flow issues to clarify the presentation and classification of cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The new standard is required to be adopted retrospectively. We plan to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of 2018 and do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This new standard simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the treatment of forfeitures, the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and the classification on the statement of cash flows. This new standard increases volatility in the statement of operations by requiring all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized as income tax benefit or expense in the statement of operations and treated as discrete items in the period in which they occur. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2017, and prospectively applied the provisions in this guidance requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and deficits in the statement of operations, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $2,483,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017.2021. The corresponding increase in net earnings equated to $0.07 per diluted share during the year ended December 31, 2017. Also, as a result of the adoption of the new standard, we made an accounting policy election to recognize forfeitures as they occur and no longer estimate expected forfeitures. The provisions in this guidance requiring the use of a modified retrospective transition method would have required us to record a cumulative effect adjustment in retained earnings as of January 1, 2017. We elected not to adjust retained earnings and to record such cumulative effect adjustment as stock-based compensation in the first quarter of 2017 on the basis of immateriality. Lastly, we applied the provisions of this guidance relating to classification on the statement of cash flows retrospectively. As a result, excess tax benefits from employee gains on stock-based compensation of $323,000 and $592,000 were reclassified from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to conform to the current period presentation.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases,” which supersedes the existing lease recognition requirements in the existing accounting standard for leases. The core principal of the new standard is that an entity should recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method with the option to elect a number of practical expedients. We expect to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2019 and are in the process of determining the effect that the adoption of ASU2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. We have not yet selected our planned transition approach.

In January 2016, the FASB issues ASUNo. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments Overview: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The new standard amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments and changes the accounting for investments in equity securities. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of 2018 and do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, for our time and material services contracts, whereby we have the right to consideration from Contracts with Customers,” which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customersa client in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard, as amended, will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. The standard permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (the full retrospective transition method) or retrospectivelycorresponds directly with the cumulative effect adjustmentvalue to the client of initially applying the new standard recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective transition method).

We will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018, and will utilize the modified retrospective transition method. While we are still finalizing our accounting policies under the new standard and are in the process of quantifying the cumulative effect adjustment from prior periods that will be recognized in our consolidated balance sheet as of the date of adoption as an adjustment to retained earnings,performance completed to date, we have concluded:

In sales transactions for certain security software products that are sold with integral third-party delivered software maintenance, we will change to record both the software license and the accompanying software maintenance on a net basis, as the agentrecognized revenue in the arrangement. Under current guidance,amount to which we bifurcate the salehave a right to invoice as of the software license from the sale of the maintenance contract, record the sale of the software product on a gross basis, as the principalDecember 31, 2022 and do not disclose information about related remaining performance obligations in the arrangement,table above. Our open time and record the salematerial contracts at December 31, 2022, have an average expected duration of the software maintenance on a net basis, as an agent in the arrangement. This change will lead us23 months.
The majority of our product backlog historically has been and continues to report lower net sales in future periods related to security software products. This change will have no effect on gross profit dollars, but all other things being equal, gross margin for these specific sales would increase compared to prior years.

The accounting for inventories not available for sale, otherwise known as bill and hold arrangements, will change such that a portion of revenue under the contracts will be recognized earlier than we are recognizing under current accounting standards. Bill and hold arrangements are inventory balances owned and paid for by our clients, but for which we are warehousing the product and will be deploying it to the clients’ locations in a future period.

The accounting for renewals of certain software term licenses will change to delay revenue recognition until the beginning of the renewal period. Under current guidance, we recognize revenue as the renewal order is completed.open cancellable purchase orders. We do not believe this change willthat backlog as of any particular date is predictive of future results, therefore we do not include performance obligations under open cancellable purchase orders, which do not qualify for revenue recognition as of December 31, 2022, in the table above.
Assets recognized for costs of obtaining a contract with a customer
Sales commissions are the only significant incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts with our clients. The majority of our contracts are completed within a one-year performance period, and for contracts with a specified term of one year or less, we recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have a material effect on ourrecognized is one year or less. We record sales or profitability trends, as it is only a change in timing of recognition between periods.

Sales commissions on contracts with performance periods that exceed one year will be recorded as an asset and amortizedamortize the asset to expense over the related contract performance period as opposedperiod. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related asset balance was $13,478,732 and $20,549,000,respectively. The expense is expected to being expensedbe recognized over the next 36 months.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price for the acquisition was allocateddeliver consulting and implementation services to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $6,957,000 was recorded as goodwill in the APAC reporting unit (see Note 21). The primary driver for this acquisition was to expand our global footprint in the areas of application design,support clients’ digital solutions, cloud, mobility and business analytics, while also building on our unique position to bring solutions powered by Intelligent Technology™ to our clients in the Asia-Pacific region. The change in goodwill in our APAC operating segment as of December 31, 2017 compared to the balance as of December 31, 2016 resulted from a final working capital adjustment of $35,000 during the year and foreign currency translation adjustments associated with the goodwill balance.

On October 1, 2015, we acquired BlueMetal, which has been integrated into our North America business. In 2016, we resolved the working capital contingency associated with the acquisition of BlueMetal. We recorded the adjustment of the purchase price allocation as a reduction of goodwill in our North America operating segment upon the receipt of $507,000 in cash during 2016.

transformation initiatives.

During 2017,2022, we periodically assessed whether any indicators of impairment existed which would require us to perform an interim impairment review. As of each interim period end during the year, we concluded that a triggering event had not occurred that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying values. We performed our annual test of goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2017.2022. The results of the qualitative goodwill impairment test indicated that the fair values of our North America, EMEA and APAC reporting units estimated using the market approach, were in excess of their respective carrying values.

Inventory Financing Facilities
We have an unsecured inventory financing facility with MUFG Bank Ltd (“MUFG”) for $280,000,000. During 2022, we increased our maximum availability for vendor purchases under our unsecured inventory financing facility with PNC Bank, N.A. ("PNC") from $300,000,000 to $375,000,000, including the $25,000,000 facility in Canada (the "Canada facility"). We also increased our unsecured inventory financing facility with Wells Fargo in EMEA (the "EMEA facility") to $50,000,000. As of December 31, 2022, our combined inventory financing facilities had a total maximum capacity of $705,000,000, of which $301,314,000 was outstanding.
The facilities remain in effect until they are terminated by any of the parties. If balances are not paid within stated vendor terms, they will accrue interest at prime plus 2.00% on the MUFG facility, Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus 4.50% on the Canada facility and LIBOR, EURIBOR, or SONIA, as applicable, plus 4.50% and 0.25% on the PNC (other than the Canada facility) and EMEA facilities, respectively.

Net amounts drawn down or repaid during the year on these facilities are classified within cash flows from financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest does not accrue on accounts payable under these facilities provided the accounts payable are paid within stated vendor terms (typically 60 days); however, we impute interest on the average daily balance outstanding during these stated vendor terms based on our incremental borrowing rate during the period. Imputed interest of $15,523,000, $15,292,000 and $13,076,000 was recorded in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We impute interest on the average daily balance outstanding during these stated vendor terms based on our blended incremental borrowing rate during the period under our senior revolving credit facility and our accounts receivable securitization financing facility. Imputed interest of $6,736,000, $3,385,000 and $3,406,000 was recorded in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Convertible Senior Notes
In August 2019, we issued $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes that mature on February 15, 2025. The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 0.75% payable semiannually, in arrears, on February 15th and August 15th of each year. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of Insight and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Insight Direct USA, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Insight.
Holders of the Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 15, 2024, under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2017, we had $117,500,000 outstanding under2019 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our revolving facilitycommon stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and approximately $166,250,000 outstanding underincluding, the TLA.

On or after June 15, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The revolving facility matures on June 23, 2021.

Notes exceeded the market price trigger of $88.82 in the fourth quarter of 2022 and as such, the Notes are convertible at the option of the holders through March 31, 2023. All of the Notes remain outstanding at December 31, 2022. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at December 31, 2022 and, if converted, we are required to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash. As such, the Notes balance net of unamortized debt issuance costs are classified as a current liability. If the Notes continue to exceed the market price trigger in future periods, they will remain convertible at the option of the holders, and the principal amount will continue to be classified as current.

Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver cash equal to the principal amount of the notes, plus cash or shares of our common stock or a combination of the two for any additional amounts due. The conversion rate will initially be 14.6376 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $68.32 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to change in certain circumstances and will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain events that occur prior to the maturity date or following our issuance of a notice of redemption, the conversion rate is subject to an increase for a holder who elects to convert their notes in connection with those events or during the related redemption period in certain circumstances.

Under our ABS facility, we can sell receivables periodically to a special purpose accounts receivable and financing entity (the “SPE”), which is exclusively engaged in purchasing receivables from us. The SPE is a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote entity that we have included in our consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the SPE is required to maintain a minimum capital amount and various reserves pursuant to the terms of the ABS facility. We maintain effective control over the receivables that are sold. Accordingly, the receivables remain recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the SPE owned $1,141,520,000 and $936,467,000, respectively, of receivables recorded at fair value and included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
The Notes are subject to certain customary events of default and acceleration clauses. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the weighted average interest rates on amounts outstanding under our ABS facility, including the usage and commitment fees and the amortization of deferred financing fees, were 2.4%, 1.9% and 1.6%, respectively. Weighted average borrowings under our ABS facility in 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $153,759,000, $145,376,000 and $112,101,000, respectively.

Debt Covenants

Our revolving facility, our TLA and our ABS facility contain various covenants customary for transactions of this type, including limitations on the payment of dividends and the requirement that we comply with maximum leverage and minimum fixed charge ratio requirements, comply with a minimum receivables requirement and meet monthly, quarterly and annual reporting requirements. If we fail to comply with these covenants, the lenders would be able to demand payment within a specified period of time. Further, the terms2022, no such events have occurred.

The Notes consist of the ABS facility identify various circumstances that would result in an “amortization event” underfollowing balances reported within the facility.

Our consolidated debt balance that can be outstanding at the end of any fiscal quarter under our revolving facility, our TLA and our ABS facility is limited by certain financial covenants, particularly a maximum leverage ratio. The maximum leverage ratio is calculated as aggregate debt outstanding divided by the sum of our trailing twelve month net earnings (loss) plus (i) interest expense, excludingnon-cash imputed interest on our inventory financing facility, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization,(iv) non-cash stock-based compensation, (v) extraordinary ornon-recurringnon-cash losses or expenses and (vi) certain cash restructuring and acquisition-related charges and synergies, not to exceed a specified cap (“adjusted earnings”). The maximum leverage ratio permitted under the facilities was increased to 3.50 times trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings in conjunction with the acquisition of Datalink effective January 6, 2017. A significant drop in our adjusted earnings would limit the amount of indebtedness that could be outstanding at the end of any fiscal quarter to a level that would be below our consolidated maximum facility amount.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transaction
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into certain convertible note hedge and warrant transactions (the “Call Spread Transactions”) with respect to the Company’s common stock.
The convertible note hedge consists of an option to purchase up to 5,123,160 common stock shares at a price of $68.32 per share. The hedge expires on February 15, 2025 and can only be concurrently executed upon the conversion of the Notes. We paid approximately $66,325,000 for the convertible note hedge transaction.
Additionally, we sold warrants to purchase 5,123,160 shares of common stock at a price of $103.12 per share. The warrants expire on May 15, 2025 and can only be exercised at maturity. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $34,440,000 for the sale of the warrants.
The Call Spread Transactions have no effect on the terms of the Notes and reduce potential dilution by effectively increasing the initial conversion price of the Notes to $103.12 per share of the Company’s common stock.

(8)Severance and Restructuring Activities

During 2017, 2016 and 2015, we recorded severance expense associated with the elimination of certain positions based on are-alignment of roles and responsibilities and a continued review of resource needs. Charges in North America included severance actions taken to realign roles and responsibilities subsequent to the acquisition of Datalink in January 2017, as well as a headcount reduction as part of cost reduction initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2017 and early in 2016. Charges in EMEA included ongoing restructuring activities, primarily in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, as part our cost reduction and restructuring initiatives in the region. The APAC charges primarily related to severance actions taken subsequent to the acquisition of Ignia. The following table details the activity for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 2017 related to these resource actions, and the outstanding obligations as of December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

Our

On April 3, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted and approved the Amendednew Insight Enterprises, Inc. 20072020 Omnibus Plan (the “Plan”) on March 28, 2011., subject to stockholder approval.  The Plan was approved by our stockholders at our 2020 annual meeting on May 18, 2011 at our 2011 annual meeting20, 2020 and, unless sooner terminated, will remain in place until May 18, 2021.                

20, 2030. The Plan allows the Company to grant options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units (which may also be referred to as “restricted stock units” or "RSUs"), performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other awards payable in cash or shares of common stock to eligiblenon-employee directors, employees and consultants. Consultants and independent contractors are eligible if they provide bona fide services that are not related to capital raising or promoting or maintaining a market for the Company’s stock.

On

The Company grants service-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs to officers and certain employees under the Plan.RSUs vest over a two to four year vesting period, while performance-based RSUs are also subject to the achievement of pre-established annual financial and/or strategic performance goals.
In February 17, 2016,2022, Insight also granted performance-based RSUs based on relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) metric to officers and certain employees under the BoardPlan.The number of DirectorsrTSR performance-based RSUs expected to be received at vesting will range from 0% to 200% of target, based on the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to a group of peer companies over a three-year performance period.The Monte Carlo Simulation model is used to determine the fair value at grant date.
The Company previously adopted the First Amendment to theAmended Insight Enterprises, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Plan (the “First Amendment”“Prior Plan”). OnThe Prior Plan was approved by our stockholders on May 18, 20162011 at our 20162011 annual meeting, our stockholders approved the First Amendment.meeting. The First Amendment: (a) updates the list of performance criteria containedPrior Plan shall remain in Section 16.1 of the Plan; (b) imposes a limit on the dollar value ofeffect until all awards that may be granted to any one participant who is anon-employee director during any one calendar year; and (c) adds an objective clawback provision expressly providing that every award granted under the Prior Plan have been exercised, forfeited or cancelled or have otherwise expired or terminated. Any shares that remain outstanding or otherwise become available under the terms of the Prior Plan following the date the Plan is subject to potential forfeiture or recovery toapproved by the fullest extent called for by law, listing standard or Company policy. The First Amendment did not increase the number of sharesCompany’s stockholders shall become available for grantissuance under the Plan or extendPlan. No further awards will be made under the term of thePrior Plan.

The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of Insight’s Board of Directors, and, except as provided below, the Compensation Committee has the exclusive authority to administer the Plan, including the power to determine eligibility, the types of awards to be granted, the price and the timing of awards. Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee may delegate some of its authority to our Chief Executive Officer to grant awards to individuals other than individuals who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of December 31, 2017,2022, of the 7,250,000 2,395,000shares of common stock reserved and available for grant under the Plan, 3,215,5402,200,747 shares of common stock remain available for grant under the Plan.

Accounting for Restricted Stock Units

We issue RSUs as incentives to certain officers and teammates and as compensation to members of our Board of Directors. We recognize compensation expense associated with the issuance of such RSUs over the vesting period for each respective RSU. The total compensation expense associated with RSUs represents the value based upon the number of RSUs awarded multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The number of RSUs to be awarded under our service-based RSUs is fixed at the grant date. The number of RSUs ultimately awarded under our performance-based RSUs varies based on whether the Company achieves certain financial results. We record compensation expense each period based on our estimate of the most probable number of RSUs that will be issued under the grants of performance-based RSUs. Recipients of RSUs do not have voting or dividend rights until the vesting conditions are satisfied and shares are released.

As of December 31, 2017,2022, total compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs not yet recognized is $17,483,000,$34,373,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.251.06 years on a weighted-average basis.

During each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017,2022, the RSUs that vested for teammates in the United States werenet-share settled such that we withheld shares with value equivalent up to the teammates’ minimummaximum statutory United States tax obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes and remitted the equivalent cash amount to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total shares withheld during 2017, 20162022, 2021 and 20152020 of 122,255, 84,95379,611, 105,434 and 85,652,101,159, respectively, were based on the value of the RSUs on their vesting dates as determined by our closing stock price on such dates.

Thesenet-share settlements had the effect of repurchases of our common stock as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the vesting and did not represent an expense to us.

(10)Assets Held for Sale

In May 2016, we sold real estate that we owned in Bloomingdale, Illinois that was previously classified as a held for sale asset and included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. In previous years, we recordednon-cash charges to reduce the carrying amount of the related assets to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. During the second quarter of 2016, we recorded a gain on sale of approximately $338,000, which is included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. federal tax reform was enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) to provide certain relief as parta result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which included, among other things, provisions relating to net operating loss carrybacks and other beneficial income tax changes. In 2020, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $1,712,000 related to the CARES Act, which was reflected in our effective tax rate reconciliation in ‘Other, net’.
As of December 31, 2022, we have accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries, most of which have been taxed in the U.S. as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As partAct of the change2017. For foreign subsidiary earnings not yet taxed under these provisions, we continue to assert permanent reinvestment of earnings earned in foreign jurisdictions which impose a withholding tax law, beginning in 2018, the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21%. This reduction required a remeasurement of our deferred tax balances that resulted in an increase in our 2017 income tax expense. In addition, the change in tax law included provisions requiring mandatory deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings. In 2017, we recorded a tax charge totaling $13,363,000 in connection with the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cutson dividends and, Jobs Act. Due to the enactment date and complexities of the new law, weaccordingly, have not completed our accounting related to these items. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, issued on December 22, 2017, we have concluded that the U.S.accrued any additional income taxes attributable to the remeasurement of U.S. deferred income taxes, the mandatory deemed repatriation provision and the state tax effects of these items are provisional amounts.

A change in U.S. tax law was enacted in December 2016 related to the taxation of foreign currency translation gains or losses arising from qualified business units. The change, which increased our U.S. federal income taxes, affects our foreign entities that are treated as branches for U.S. tax purposes. The “Other, net” line item in the schedule above includes $349,000 and $1,296,000 related to the effect ofnon-deductible acquisition-related expenses incurred during 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As of December 31, 2017,2022, we have a federalU.S. state net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”NOLs”) of $1,455,000 and U.S. state NOLs of $1,977,000 that will expire between 20182021 and 2036.2040. We also have foreign NOLs from variousnon-U.S. jurisdictions of $87,056,000. While$84,328,000, certain of which will expire between 2023 and 2028, while the majority of thenon-U.S. NOLs have no expiration date, $6,258,000 will expire between 2018date. Certain state NOLs relate to pre-acquisition losses from acquired subsidiaries and 2024.

Onare subject to annual limitations as to their use under the basisprovisions of currently available information, weInternal Revenue Code Section 382.

We have provided valuation allowances for certain of our deferred tax assets where we believe it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. At December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, our valuation allowances totaled $45,995,000$32,546,000 and $30,972,000,$36,948,000, respectively, representingnon-U.S.relating primarily to state and foreign NOLs foreign depreciation allowances and foreign tax credits.

We believe it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including income that may be generated as a result of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, together with the tax effects of deferred tax liabilities, will be sufficient Changes to fully recover our remaining deferred tax assets. In the future, if we determine that realization of the remaining deferred tax assets and the availability of certain previously paid taxes to be refunded are not more likely than not, we will need to increase our valuation allowances and record additional income tax expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In the future, if recognized, the liability associated with uncertain tax positions would affect our effective tax rate. We do not believe there will be any changes over the next 12 months that would have a material effect on our effective tax rate.

Several of our subsidiaries

We are currently under audit in various jurisdictions for tax years 20122015 through 2015.2020. Although the timing of the resolutions and/or closures of audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the examination phase of these audits may be concluded within the next 12 months which could significantly increase or decrease the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits. However, based on the status of the various examinations in multiple jurisdictions, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made at this time, but the estimated effect on our income tax expense and net earnings is not expected to be significant.

We, including our subsidiaries, file income tax returns in

In the U.S. federal jurisdiction and many state and local andnon-U.S. jurisdictions. In the United States,, federal income tax returns for 2014,years subsequent to 2015 2016 and 2017 remain open to examination. For U.S. state and local taxes as well as innon-U.S.foreign jurisdictions, the statute of limitations generally varies between three and ten years.

However, to the extent allowable by law, the tax authorities may have a right to examine and make adjustment to prior periods when amended returns have been filed, or when net operating losses or tax credits were generated and carried forward for subsequent utilization.

(12)Market Risk Management

Interest Rate Risk

We have interest rate exposure arising from our financing facilities, which have variable interest rates. These variable interest rates are affected by changes in short-term interest rates. We currently do not hedge our interest rate exposure.

We do not believe that the effect of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates will be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our financing facilities expose our net earnings to changes in short-term interest rates since interest rates on the underlying obligations are variable. We had $117,500,000$291,599,000 outstanding under our revolvingABL facility $166,250,000and $346,199,000 outstanding under our TLA and $25,000,000 outstanding under our ABS facilitythe Notes at December 31, 2017.2022. The interest rate attributable to the borrowings under our revolvingABL facility our TLA and our ABS facilitythe Notes was 3.49%, 3.57% 5.47%and 2.41%0.75%, respectively, per annum at December 31, 2017.2022. The change in annualpre-tax earnings from operations resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the applicable interest rate would have been immaterial.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Although the Notes are based on a fixed rate, changes in interest rates could impact the fair market value of such notes. As of December 31, 2022, the fair market value of the Notes was $503,202,000.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have foreign currency exchange risk related to the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ operating results, assets and liabilities (see Note 1 for a description of our Foreign Currencies policy). We also maintain cash accounts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, which expose us to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Remeasurement of these cash balances results in gains/losses that are also reported as a separate component ofin other expense (income), net within non-operating (income) expense. We monitor our foreign currency exposure and selectively enter into forward exchange contracts to mitigate risk associated with certainnon-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities related to foreign denominated payables, receivables and cash balances. Transaction gains and losses resulting fromnon-functional currency assets and liabilities are offset by gains and losses on forward contracts innon-operating (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations. The counterparties associated with our foreign exchange forward contracts are large creditworthy commercial banks. The derivatives transacted with these institutions are short in duration and, therefore, we do not consider counterparty concentration andnon-performance to be material risks. The Company does not have a significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty.

82


INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(13)Derivative Financial Instruments

We use derivatives to partially offset our exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes. Derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet based on observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data (Level 2). Gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded currently in income. We do not designate our hedges for hedge accounting, and our foreign currency derivative instruments are not subject to any master netting arrangements with our counterparties.

We use foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate risk associated with certainnon-functional currency assets and liabilities from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Ournon-functional currency assets and liabilities are primarily related to foreign currency denominated payables, receivables, and cash balances. The foreign currency forward contracts, carried at fair value, typically have a maturity of one month or less. We currently enter into approximately four foreign exchange forward contracts per month with an average notional value of $10,610,000 and an average maturity of approximately nine days.

Our derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2017 were not material. The effect of our derivative financial instruments on our results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were a gain of $159,000, a loss of $2,722,000 and a loss of $942,000, respectively. These amounts are reported within the net foreign currency exchange (gain) loss line item in our consolidated statements of operations.

(14)Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are determined based on the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

We have elected to use the income approach to value our foreign exchange derivatives, using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled, to transact. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR rates, foreign exchange rates, and foreign exchange forward points).Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. Fair value measurement of an asset or liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments and did not have a material impact on the fair value of these derivative instruments. Both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual terms of the instruments.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As of December 31, 2017,2022, we have nonon-financial assets or liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and our other financial assets or liabilities generally consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and long-term debt. The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents approximate their carrying values and are determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1).assets. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt balances, excluding the Notes, approximate their carrying values based on their variable interest rate terms that are based on current market interest rates for similar debt instruments. The Notes were initially recorded at their estimated fair value based on market interest rates for similar debt instruments. The fair market value of the Notes as of December 31, 2022 is disclosed in footnote 12. The fair values of the other financial assets and liabilities are based on the values that would be received or paid in an orderly transaction between market participants and approximate their carrying values due to their nature and short duration.

(14)    Benefit Plans

We adopted a defined contribution benefit plan (the “Defined Contribution Plan”) for our U.S. teammates which complies with section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company provides a discretionary match to all participants who make 401(k) contributions pursuant to the Defined Contribution Plan. On May 15, 2020, our matching contributions were temporarily suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Company matching contributions returned in 2021. The discretionary match provided to participants is equivalent to 50% of a participant’spre-tax contributions up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation per pay period. Additionally, we offer several defined contribution benefit plans to our teammates outside of the United States. These plans and their related terms vary by country. Total consolidated contribution expense under these plans was $14,083,000, $7,684,000$27,827,000, $25,270,000 and $7,190,000$11,974,000 for 2017, 20162022, 2021 and 2015,2020, respectively.

(16)    Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual

In the ordinary course of business, we issue performance bonds to secure our performance under certain contracts or state tax requirements. As of December 31, 2017,2022, we had approximately $1,962,000$28,538,000 of performance bonds outstanding. These bonds are issued on our behalf by a surety company on an unsecured basis; however, if the surety company is ever required to pay out under the bonds, we have contractually agreed to reimburse the surety company.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Management believes that payments, if any, related to these performance bonds are not probable at December 31, 2017.2022. Accordingly, we have not accrued any liabilities related to such performance bonds in our consolidated financial statements.

Employment Contracts and Severance Plans

We have employment contracts with, and plans covering, certain officers and management teammates under which severance payments would become payable in the event of specified terminations without cause or terminations under certain circumstances after a change in control. In addition, vesting of outstanding nonvested RSUs would accelerate following a change in control. If severance payments under the current employment agreements or plan payments were to become payable, the severance payments would generally range from three to twenty-four months of salary.

Indemnifications

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to indemnify either our clients or third-party service providers from certain losses incurred relating to services performed on our behalf or for losses arising from defined events, which may include litigation or claims relating to past performance. These arrangements include, but are not limited to, the indemnification of our clients for certain claims arising out of our performance under our sales contracts, the indemnification of our landlords for certain claims arising from our use of leased facilities and the indemnification of the lenders that provide our credit facilities for certain claims arising from their extension of credit to us. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses.

Management believes that payments, if any, related to these indemnifications are not probable at December 31, 2017.2022. Accordingly, we have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnifications in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and with each of our directors. These agreements require us, among other requirements, to indemnify such officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments and settlements incurred by such individual in connection with any action arising out of such individual’s status or service as our executive officer or director (subject to exceptions such as where the individual failed to act in good faith or in a manner the individual reasonably believed to

be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company) and to advance expenses incurred by such individual with respect to which such individual may be entitled to indemnification by us. There are no pending legal proceedings that involve the indemnification of any of the Company’s directors or officers.

Contingencies Related to Third-Party Review

From time to time, we are subject to potential claims and assessments from third parties. We are also subject to various governmental, client and partner audits. We continually assess whether or not such claims have merit and warrant accrual. Where appropriate, we accrue estimates of anticipated liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Such estimates are subject to change and may affect our results of operations and our cash flows.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings arising inincidental to the ordinary course of business, including preference payment claims asserted in client bankruptcy proceedings, indemnification claims, claims of alleged infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, employment claims, claims of allegednon-compliance with contract provisions and claims related to alleged violations of laws and regulations. We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made for disclosure.made. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, we believe that we have adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the work required pursuant to any legal proceedings or the resolution of aany legal proceeding.proceedings during such period. Legal expenses related to defense of any legal proceeding or the negotiations, settlements, rulings and advice of outside legal counsel in connection with any legal proceedings are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In connection with the acquisition of PCM in 2019, the Company has effectively assumed responsibility for PCM litigation matters, including various disputes related to PCM’s acquisition of certain assets of En Pointe Technologies in 2015. The seller of En Pointe Technologies and related entities providing various post-closing support functions to PCM have asserted claims regarding the sufficiency of earnout payments paid by PCM under the asset purchase agreement and the unwinding of the support functions post-closing. PCM rejected and vigorously responded to those claims, and the Company continues to pursue various counterclaims. The disputes are being heard by multiple courts and arbitrators in several different jurisdictions including California, Delaware and Pakistan. The Company cannot determine with certainty the costs or outcome of these matters. However, the Company is not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings, including the PCM litigation matters, that it believes would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

During 2015, we undertook a project to analyze our older accounts receivable to attempt further collection action, or where appropriate, to write off such accounts as uncollectible. Since these aged accounts receivable had been fully reserved against, the write off was accomplished through the elimination of the associated allowance, with no effect on net accounts receivable balances. The reduction of the allowance for doubtful accounts to $11,872,000 at December 31, 2015 was a direct result of the write off of these older fully reserved accounts receivable as well as an overall improvement in managing the receivables portfolio. The reduction of the reserve during 2015 related to these actions had no effect on our results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In conjunction with these changes in presentation, because fees earned from activities reported net are considered services revenues, we reclassified certain revenue streams for which we act as the agent in the transaction to net sales from services. Previously, we included these net revenue streams within our software and, to a lesser extent, hardware sales mix categories based on the type of product being sold (e.g., fees earned for the sale of software maintenance and certain software licenses were included in software sales and fees earned for the sale of certain third-party provided training and warranty services were included in hardware sales when we historically disclosed and analyzed our sales mix). For comparability purposes, our sales mix among our hardware, software and services categories for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total net sales amounts. The following tables summarize net sales by offering for North America, EMEA and APAC including the effect of the reclassifications on the previously reported net sales by sales mix amounts for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

The method for determining what information regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation and major clients to report is based upon the “management approach,” or the way that management organizes the operating segments within a company, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.

All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation, and there are no differences between the accounting policies used to measure profit and loss for our segments or on a consolidated basis. Net sales are defined as net sales to external clients. None of our clients exceeded ten percent of consolidated net sales in 2017, 20162022, 2021 or 2015.

2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

A portion of our operating segments’ selling and administrative expenses arise from shared services and infrastructure that we have historically provided to them in order to realize economies of scale and to use resources efficiently. These expenses, collectively identified as corporate charges, include senior management expenses, internal audit, legal, tax, insurance services, treasury and other corporate infrastructure expenses. Charges are allocated to our operating segments, and the allocations have been determined on a basis that we considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or benefits received by the operating segments.

Item 9A. Controls and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

The estimated fair values of current assets and liabilities (other than deferred revenue and related deferred costs) were based upon their historical costs on the date of acquisition due to their short-term nature. The majority of property and equipment were also estimated based upon historical costs as they approximated fair value. Certain long-term assets, including Datalink’s IT system, were written down to the estimated fair value based on the economic benefit expected to be realized from the assets following the acquisition. Deferred revenue acquired primarily represents monies collected prior to January 6, 2017 related to unearned revenues associated with support services to be performed in the future. The estimated fair value of deferred revenue of $65,500,000, which is included in current and long-term liabilities in the table above, was calculated using the adjusted fulfillment cost method as the present value of the costs expected to be incurred by a third party to perform the support services obligations acquired under various customer contracts, plus a reasonable profit associated with the performance effort. The deferred costs acquired represent monies paid prior to January 6, 2017 to purchase third party customer support contracts from manufacturers. The estimated fair value of the deferred costs of $48,029,000, which is included in current and other assets in the table above, was calculated in conjunction with the valuation of deferred revenue discussed above.

Identified intangible assets of $94,500,000 consist primarily of customer relationships, the trade name andnon-compete agreements, which were valued at $92,200,000, $2,200,000 and $100,000, respectively. These values were determined using the multiple-period excess earnings method, the relief from royalty method and the lost income method, respectively.

The identifiable intangibles resulting from the acquisition are amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Intangible AssetsEstimated Economic Life

Customer relationships

10 Years

Trade name

1 Year

Non-compete agreements

1 Year

Amortization expense recognized for the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2017 was $11,520,000.

Goodwill of $64,140,000, which was recorded in our North America operating segment, represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Datalink. The addition of the Datalink technical employees to our team and the opportunity to grow our data center solutions business are the primary factors making up the goodwill recognized as part of the transaction. None of the goodwill is tax deductible.

The preliminary purchase price was allocated using information available at the time. During the second quarter of 2017, upon analysis of additional information affecting our estimate of the fair value of net assets acquired, we adjusted the purchase price allocation and reduced the goodwill balance by $945,000. During the remainder of 2017, no further adjustments to the purchase price allocation were made, and the purchase price allocation was finalized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

We have consolidated the results of operations for Datalink since its acquisition on January 6, 2017. Consolidated net sales and gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2017 include $524,281,000 and $118,917,000, respectively, from Datalink. The following table reports pro forma information as if the acquisition of Datalink had been completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Ignia

Effective September 1, 2016, we acquired Ignia, a business technology consulting and managed services provider headquartered in Perth, Australia, with an additional office in Melbourne, for a cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, of approximately $10,804,000, subject to a final working capital adjustment. We believe that this acquisition expands our global footprint in the areas of application design, digital solutions, cloud, mobility and business analytics, while also building on our unique position to bring solutions powered by Intelligent Technology™ to our clients in the Asia-Pacific region.

The total fair value of net identifiable assets acquired initially recorded was approximately $5,324,000, including $1,463,000 of cash acquired and $4,716,000 of identifiable intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer relationships and restrictive covenant agreements which are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives of eight years and 27 months, respectively. The preliminary purchase price was allocated using the information available at the time. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we finalized the fair value assumptions for identifiable intangible assets acquired and reduced the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired by approximately $218,000. Goodwill initially recorded of approximately $7,248,000, which was recorded in our APAC operating segment, was adjusted to $6,957,000 as of December 31, 2016 as a result of the net effects of the decrease in the value of acquired identifiable intangible assets noted previously and foreign currency translation adjustments. None of the goodwill is tax deductible. We finalized the purchase price allocation in the second quarter of 2017 when the final working capital adjustment of $35,000 was agreed upon.

We consolidated the results of operations for Ignia within our APAC operating segment beginning on September 1, 2016, the effective date of the acquisition. Our historical results would not have been materially affected by the acquisition of Ignia and, accordingly, we have not presented pro forma information as if the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of each period presented in our statements of operations.

BlueMetal

Effective October 1, 2015, we acquired BlueMetal, an interactive design and technology architecture firm based in the Boston area, with offices in Chicago and New York, for a cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, of approximately $44,221,000. BlueMetal delivers strategic design, application development, business intelligence solutions and data visualization platforms, and we believe this acquisition strengthens our services capabilities to bring value to our clients’ businesses in the area of application design, mobility and big data.

The total fair value of net assets acquired was approximately $15,412,000, including $15,240,000 of identifiable intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer relationships and restrictive covenant agreements which are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives of eight and three years, respectively. Goodwill acquired approximated $29,938,000, which was recorded in our North America operating segment. In 2016, we resolved the working capital contingency associated with the acquisition of BlueMetal. We recorded an adjustment of the purchase price as a reduction of goodwill in our North America operating segment upon the receipt of $507,000 in cash during 2016. The addition of the BlueMetal employees to our team and the opportunity to grow our services business are the primary factors making up the goodwill recognized as part of the transaction. None of the goodwill is tax deductible.
