⁽¹⁾	~~The prior period has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.~~

In accordance with certain contractual arrangements, WESCO receives payment from its customers in advance and recognizes such payment as deferred revenue. Revenue for advance payment is recognized when the performance obligation has been satisfied and control has transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. Deferred revenue is usually recognized within a year or less from the date of the customer’s advance payment. At ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018, $10.4~~2019, $9.9 million and ~~$11.8~~$12.3 million, respectively, of deferred revenue was recorded as a component of other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

WESCO’s revenues are adjusted for variable consideration, which includes customer volume rebates, returns, and discounts. WESCO measures variable consideration by estimating expected outcomes using analysis and inputs based upon anticipated performance, historical data, as well as current and forecasted information. Measurement and recognition of variable consideration is reviewed by management on a monthly basis and revenue is adjusted accordingly. Variable consideration reduced revenue for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ by approximately ~~$28.5~~$23.3 million and ~~$25.0~~$25.5 million, ~~respectively, and by approximately $53.8 million and $49.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,~~ respectively.

~~(unaudited)~~

Shipping and handling costs are recognized in net sales when they are billed to the customer. These costs are recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses when WESCO does not bill the customer. WESCO has elected to recognize shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost. Shipping and handling costs recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $18.2 million and $18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $35.2 million and $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

~~4. LEASES~~

WESCO leases real estate, automobiles, trucks and other equipment. The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is performed at the inception of the arrangement. Classification and initial measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability are determined at the lease commencement date. The Company elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption; therefore, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company's arrangements include certain non-lease components such as common area and other maintenance for leased real estate, as well as mileage, fuel and maintenance costs related to leased automobiles and trucks. WESCO accounts for these nonlease components separately from the associated lease components. The Company does not guarantee any residual value in its lease agreements, and there are no material restrictions or covenants imposed by lease arrangements. Real estate leases typically include one or more options to extend the lease. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options, and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company includes the renewal period in its lease term. The Company uses the interest rate implicit in its leases to discount lease payments at the lease commencement date. When the implicit rate is not readily available, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.

The Company's finance leases, which are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2019 as a component of property, buildings and equipment, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, respectively, are not material to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, finance leases have not been disclosed herein.

Sylvania Lighting Services Corp.

On March 5, 2019,, WESCO Distribution, Inc. ("WESCO Distribution"), through its WESCO Services, LLC subsidiary, acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sylvania Lighting Services Corp. ("SLS"). Headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts, SLS offers a full spectrum of energy-efficient lighting upgrade, retrofit, and renovation solutions with annual sales of approximately $100 million and approximately 220 employees across the U.S. and Canada. WESCO Distribution funded the purchase price paid at closing with borrowings under its accounts receivable securitization facility. The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, resulting in goodwill of ~~$5.9~~$11.6 million, which is deductible for tax purposes.

Anixter International Inc.

On January 10, 2020, WESCO International entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Anixter International Inc. (“Anixter”) and Warrior Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WESCO International (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Anixter (the “Merger”), with Anixter surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of WESCO International.

At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Anixter common stock will be converted into the right to receive (i) $70.00 in cash, without interest, which amount may be increased by up to $2.82 per Anixter common share at closing, based on the volume-weighted average trading price of WESCO International common stock on the New York Stock Exchange during a specified period prior to closing, and subject to further adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “cash consideration”), (ii) 0.2397 shares of WESCO International common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “common stock consideration”), and (iii) 0.6356 depositary shares, each share representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of newly issued WESCO International Series A fixed-rate reset cumulative perpetual preferred stock, $25,000 stated amount per whole preferred share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “preferred stock consideration” and, together with the cash consideration and the common stock consideration, (the “Merger Consideration”), in each case less any applicable withholding taxes. Based on the closing price of WESCO International common stock and the liquidation preference of the WESCO International Series A preferred stock underlying the preferred stock consideration, and giving effect to the downside protection described above, the implied value of the per share Merger Consideration was:(i) $100.00, on January 10, 2020, the last full trading day before the public announcement of the merger and (ii) $94.91, on April 30, 2020, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this filing.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, WESCO paid to entities affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”), on behalf of Anixter, a termination fee of $100 million that was required to terminate Anixter’s then-existing merger agreement with CD&R. As of March 31, 2020, the termination fee is recorded on the balance sheet as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets. Upon consummation of the Merger with Anixter, the $100 million termination fee will be accounted for as a portion of the Merger Consideration paid to the stockholders of Anixter.

The closing of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions to closing, including the approval or clearance, or the expiration, termination or waiver of the waiting periods under various antitrust laws. As of the date hereof, clearance under the antitrust laws of Canada remains outstanding. Notification of the Merger was filed in Canada on February 27, 2020 and, on April 14, 2020, the Canadian Commissioner of Competition issued a Supplementary Information Request seeking additional information with respect to the Merger and the businesses of Anixter and WESCO. Notification of the

Merger was filed in Mexico on February 10, 2020, and approval was received on April 30, 2020. Approval or clearance has previously been received under the antitrust laws of the United States, Russia and Turkey. WESCO, Anixter and Merger Sub have also filed notifications seeking approval under the antitrust laws of Chile (filed on February 20, 2020), but the receipt of approval in Chile is not a condition to the closing of the Merger. WESCO and Anixter expect to complete the Merger in the second or third calendar quarter of 2020.

5. GOODWILL

The following table sets forth the changes in the carrying value of goodwill:

Foreign currency exchange rate changes 24,251
Additions to goodwill for acquisitions 5,946
Ending balance June 30 $ 1,752,800

⁽¹⁾
Adjustments to goodwill resulted from the final allocation of the purchase price paid for SLS, as described in Note 4, to the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Certain triggering events occurred during the first quarter of 2020, including the effect of the ongoing macroeconomic disruption and uncertainty caused by a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic, as well as the decline in our share price and market capitalization, both of which could indicate that the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable. Accordingly, we performed an interim test for impairment. We tested for goodwill impairment on a reporting unit level and the evaluation involved comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units were determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples. We evaluated the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty method based on projected financial information. Goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks totaled $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

7.There were no impairment losses identified as a result of our interim test. Two of our reporting units with goodwill of $261.3 million and $524.9 million, respectively, had estimated fair values that exceeded their respective carrying values by less than 5%. The determination of fair value of our reporting units involves significant management judgment, particularly as it relates to the underlying assumptions and factors around our expected operating margins and discount rate. In performing our quantitative assessments, we used expected operating margins supported by a combination of historical results, current forecasts, market data and recent economic events. We used a discount rate that reflects marketplace participants' cost of capital.

The determination of fair value involves significant management judgment and management applies its best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of financial projections. Fair values are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the interim goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be accurate predictions of future results.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

WESCO’s stock-based employee compensation plans are comprised of stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant and compensation cost is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock-settled stock appreciation rights ~~and performance-based awards with market conditions~~ is determined using the Black-Scholes ~~and Monte Carlo simulation models, respectively.~~model. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance-based awards with performance conditions is determined by the grant-date closing price of WESCO’s common stock. The forfeiture assumption is based on WESCO’s historical employee behavior that is reviewed on an annual basis. No dividends are assumed. For stock-settled stock appreciation rights that are exercised and for restricted stock units and performance-based awards that vest, shares are issued out of WESCO's outstanding common stock.

Stock-settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over a three-year period and terminate on the tenth anniversary of the grant date unless terminated sooner under certain conditions. Vesting of restricted stock units is based on a minimum time period of three years. Vesting of performance-based awards is based on a three-year performance period, and the number of

shares earned, if any, depends on the attainment of certain performance levels. Outstanding awards would vest upon the consummation of a change in control transaction and performance-based awards would vest at the target level.

Performance-based awards granted in 2020 and 2019 were based on two equally-weighted performance measures: the three-year average growth rate of WESCO's net income and the three-year cumulative return on net assets. Performance-based awards granted in 2018 were based on two equally-weighted performance measures: the three-year average growth rate of the Company’s fully diluted earnings per share and the three-year cumulative return on net assets. From 2015 to 2017, the two equally-weighted performance-based award metrics were the three-year average growth rate of WESCO's net income and WESCO's total stockholder return in relation to the total stockholder return of a select group of peer companies over a three-year period.

8.7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to WESCO International by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to WESCO International by the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the periods. The dilutive effect of common share equivalents is considered in the diluted earnings per share computation using the treasury stock method, which includes consideration of equity awards.

For Canadian participants, WESCO makes contributions in amounts ranging from 3% to 5% of participants' eligible compensation based on years of continuous service. WESCO may also make, subject to the Board of Directors' approval, a discretionary contribution to the defined contribution retirement savings plan covering U.S. participants if certain predetermined profit levels are attained. For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ WESCO incurred charges of ~~$18.9~~$2.8 million and ~~$21.9~~$12.6 million, respectively, for all such plans.

The Company's outstanding indebtedness includes $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2021 and $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2024. With the exception of these debt instruments, the carrying values of the Company's financial instruments approximate fair value.

The following table sets forth WESCO's debt instruments that were not carried at fair value as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Therefore, the inputs used to measure the fair value of the Company's debt instruments are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. ~~The reported carrying amounts~~Changes in the fair value of ~~WESCO's~~the Company's debt instruments was effected by the current economic and financial ~~instruments approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.~~market environment.

~~11.~~10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, a number of lawsuits and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including litigation relating to commercial, product and employment matters. The outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits may be determined adversely to WESCO. However, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on WESCO's financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any fiscal period of one or more of these matters may have a material adverse effect on WESCO's results of operations for that period.

In an effort to expand the Company's footprint in the Middle East, WESCO has been doing business since 2009 with WESTEC Supplies General Trading (“WESTEC”), an industrial equipment supplier headquartered in the United Arab Emirates. WESTEC has debt facilities comprised of a $5.8 million term loan and a $1.0 million line of credit ~~with a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $6.8 million~~ to support its working capital requirements and joint sales efforts with WESCO. Due to the nature of WESCO’s arrangement with WESTEC, WESCO has provided a standby letter of credit under its revolving credit facility of up to $7.3 million as security for WESTEC’s ~~line of credit.~~debt facilities. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, WESTEC had an outstanding ~~loan balance of~~indebtedness totaling $6.0 million. Management

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 21.5% and 20.7%~~, respectively.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 30, 2020, in connection with WESCO’s previously announced Merger with Anixter, WESCO announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, WESCO Distribution, has commenced (a) offers to purchase for cash any and all of Anixter Inc.’s, (a wholly owned subsidiary of Anixter), outstanding (i) 5.50% Senior Notes due 2023, $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount, and (ii) 6.00% Senior Notes due 2025, $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount (collectively, the “Anixter Notes,” and such offers, the “Offers”) and (b) solicitations of consents from the holders of each series of these existing Anixter Notes to amend the relevant indentures to eliminate certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions, events of default and related provisions therein and exclude the Merger from the change in control provision. Among other conditions, the Offers are conditioned upon the substantially concurrent or prior closing of the Merger.

Concurrent with WESCO’s Offers, Anixter announced that Anixter Inc. has commenced solicitations of consents from the holders of each series of the Anixter Notes to amend the relevant indentures to, among other things, exclude the Merger from the change in control provision (the “Anixter Consent Solicitations”) in return for the payment of a consent fee (the “Consent Fee”). Holder of Anixter Notes have the option to participate in either the Offers or the Anixter Consent Solicitations, but not both. In certain circumstances, consents delivered in connection with the Offers may be aggregated with those delivered in connection with the Anixter Consent Solicitations.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated April 30, 2020 (the “Offer to Purchase”), payment of the Offer consideration or the Consent Fee, as applicable, is expected to occur at or immediately following the closing of the Merger. Additional information with respect to the Offers and the Anixter Consent Solicitations is included in WESCO’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 30, 2020. Holders of Anixter Notes should also read the Offer to Purchase (and the documents incorporated by reference therein) carefully and in their entirety before making any decision with respect to a tender of Anixter Notes pursuant to the Offers or the Anixter Consent Solicitations, because they contain important information.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and WESCO International, Inc.’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The matters discussed herein may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Certain of these risks are set forth in WESCO International, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, as well as WESCO International, Inc.’s other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Company Overview

WESCO International, Inc. (“WESCO International”), incorporated in 1993 and effectively formed in February 1994 upon acquiring a distribution business from Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is a leading North American-based distributor of products and provider of advanced supply chain management and logistics services used primarily in industrial, construction, utility, and commercial, institutional and government (“CIG”) markets. We are a leading provider of electrical, industrial, and communications maintenance, repair and operating ("MRO") and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") products, construction materials, and advanced supply chain management and logistics services. Our primary product categories include general supplies, wire, cable and conduit, communications and security, electrical distribution and controls, lighting and sustainability, and automation, controls and motors.

We serve approximately 70,000 active customers globally through approximately 500 branches primarily located in North America, with operations in 1516 additional countries and 1011 distribution centers located in the United States and Canada. We employ approximately ~~9,300~~9,500 employees worldwide. We distribute over 1,000,000 products, grouped into six categories, from approximately 30,000 suppliers, utilizing a highly automated, proprietary electronic procurement and inventory replenishment system.

In addition, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of value-added capabilities, which includes supply chain management, logistics and transportation, procurement, warehousing and inventory management, as well as kitting, limited assembly of products and system installation. Our value-added capabilities, extensive geographic reach, experienced workforce and broad product and supply chain solutions have enabled us to grow our business and establish a leading position in North America.

Our financial results for the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 reflect net sales growth ~~and a continued positive impact from our margin improvement initiatives.~~through the first ten weeks of the quarter, offset by declines during the last two weeks of March, as well as the uncertain operating environment caused by the COVID-19 virus. Net sales increased ~~$13.4~~$7.4 million, or ~~0.3%~~0.4%, over the same period last year. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was ~~80.7%~~80.9% and ~~81.0%~~80.5% for the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of net sales were ~~14.4%~~15.2% and ~~14.2%~~15.1% for the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. Operating profit was ~~$168.7~~$60.9 million for the current ~~six~~three month period, compared to ~~$164.4~~$70.7 million for the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2018. Operating~~2019. Adjusted for $4.6 million of transaction costs related to our merger with Anixter, operating profit ~~increased primarily due to higher sales volume.~~was $65.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. Net income attributable to WESCO International for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ was ~~$105.8~~$34.4 million and ~~$102.4~~$42.4 million, respectively. Earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2020 was $0.82, based on 42.1 million diluted shares, compared to $0.93 for the first quarter of 2019, based on 45.5 million diluted shares. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2020 was $0.91.

We have been and will continue to take the appropriate actions in response to the COVID-19 virus. Our top priority is the health and safety of our employees. The products and services that we provide are integral to the daily operations of our essential business customers, and as such, we are performing essential activities necessary to manage basic operations in the midst of the pandemic. To date, our branch locations have remained operational consistent with existing governmental and public health authority directives. We have taken actions to reduce costs consistent with the expected decline in demand. We will work to prepare our business to respond to the needs of our customers as demand recovers, which we believe could occur in the second half of this year.

Certain triggering events occurred during the first quarter of 2020, including the effect of the ongoing macroeconomic disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the decline in our share price and market capitalization, both of which could indicate that the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable. Accordingly, we performed an interim test for impairment. We tested for goodwill impairment on a reporting unit level and the evaluation involved comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units were determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples. We evaluated the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty method based on projected financial information. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks totaled $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively.

WESCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

There were no impairment losses identified as a result of our interim test. Two of our reporting units with goodwill of $261.3 million and $524.9 million, respectively, had estimated fair values that exceeded their respective carrying values by less than 5%. The determination of fair value of our reporting units involves significant management judgment, particularly as it relates to the underlying assumptions and factors around our expected operating margins and discount rate. In performing our quantitative assessments, we used expected operating margins supported by a combination of historical results, current forecasts, market data and recent economic events. We used a discount rate that reflects marketplace participants' cost of capital.

Although we applied our best judgment assessing the reasonableness of the financial projections used to estimate the fair value of our reporting units, there is significant uncertainty surrounding the current macroeconomic environment and conditions in the markets in which we operate. A sustained decline in our share price and market capitalization, or any further economic deterioration that could cause our financial performance to fall below our current expectations, could increase the likelihood that the fair values of our reporting units are less than their carrying values, resulting in an impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in a future period. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the interim goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of future results.

Cash Flow

~~Cash~~We generated $31.5 million of operating cash flow ~~used in operations was $8.8 million~~ for the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2019.~~2020. Investing activities included ~~payments~~the $100.0 million termination fee associated with the acquisition of ~~$27.7 million~~Anixter, as described in Note 5 of our Notes to ~~acquire Sylvania Lighting Solutions ("SLS")~~the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and ~~$21.4~~$15.8 million of capital expenditures. Financing activities were comprised of borrowings and repayments of ~~$473.5~~$360.5 million and ~~$464.3~~$260.5 million, respectively, related to our revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), as well as borrowings and repayments of ~~$410.0~~$225.0 million and ~~$190.0~~$40.0 million, respectively, related to our accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Receivables Facility”) ~~and repayments of $24.8 million to pay off our term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility")~~. Financing activities for the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 also included ~~borrowings and~~net repayments onrelated to our various international lines of credit of approximately $34.9 million and $39.4 million, respectively. Additionally, financing activities for the first six months of 2019 included the repurchase of $150.0 million of the Company's common stock pursuant to an accelerated stock repurchase transaction under the share repurchase plan announced on December 13, 2017 and amended on October 31, 2018.$0.4 million.

Financing Availability

As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had ~~$504.8~~$446.6 million in total available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, which was comprised of ~~$355.8~~$231.3 million of availability under the U.S. sub-facility and ~~$149.0~~$215.3 million of availability under the Canadian sub-facility. ~~Available~~We had no borrowing capacity available under our Receivables ~~Facility was $55.0 million.~~Facility.

Impact from number of workdays	—1.6	%
Organic sales growth	~~1.9~~(1.7)	%

Note: Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales performance. Organic sales growth is calculated by deducting the percentage impact from acquisitions in the first year of ownership, foreign exchange rates and number of workdays from the overall percentage change in consolidated net sales.

Cost of goods sold for the ~~second~~first quarter of 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ was ~~$1.7~~$1.6 billion. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold was ~~81.0% for both periods.

As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were ~~13.8%~~15.2% and ~~13.9%~~15.1%, respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses ~~was primarily due~~reflects transaction costs related to ~~the impact~~our merger with Anixter of ~~the SLS acquisition,~~$4.6 million, partially offset by lower payroll expenses. Adjusted for these costs, SG&A expenses were $294.8 million, or 15.0% of net sales, for the ~~absence~~first quarter of ~~a bad debt charge that was recorded in the prior year's second quarter.~~

~~Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 was $15.2 million and $15.8 million, respectively.~~

~~Net interest and other totaled $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $17.7 million for the second quarter of 2018.~~

~~Income tax expense totaled $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $15.8 million in last year's comparable period, and the effective tax rate was 21.6% and 21.5%, respectively.~~

Cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2019 and 2018 was $3.3 billion. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold was 80.7% and 81.0%, respectively. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the continued positive impact from our margin improvement initiatives.

SG&A expenses for the first six months of 2019 totaled $592.4 million versus $583.7 million for the first six months of 2018. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 14.4% and 14.2%, respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the impact of the SLS acquisition, partially offset by the absence of a bad debt charge that was recorded in the prior year's second quarter.

SG&A payroll expenses for the first six months of 2019 of $410.3 million increased by $6.4 million compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to primarily due to wage inflation and the impact of the SLS acquisition, partially offset by lower variable compensation expense and benefit costs.

Depreciation and amortization for the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018~~ was ~~$30.4~~$16.1 million, ~~and $31.7~~compared to $15.2 million ~~respectively.~~for the first quarter of 2019.

Income tax expense totaled ~~$29.1~~$10.3 million for the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2019~~2020, compared to ~~$26.3~~$11.7 million in last year's comparable period, and the effective tax rate was ~~21.7%~~23.1% and ~~20.7%~~21.7%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the current ~~year~~quarter is primarily due to the ~~full application~~unfavorable effect of discrete income tax expense associated with stock-based awards. The effective tax rate for the ~~international provisions of U.S. tax reform.~~current period would have been 21.4% without this discrete impact.

Net income for the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$105.2~~$34.2 million, compared to net income of ~~$100.6~~$42.0 million for the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2018.~~2019.

Net loss of ~~$0.7~~$0.2 million and ~~$1.7~~$0.4 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests for the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

Net income and ~~diluted~~ earnings per diluted share attributable to WESCO International were ~~$105.8~~$34.4 million and ~~$2.37~~$0.82 per diluted share, respectively, for the first quarter of 2020, compared with net income and earnings per diluted share of $42.4 million and $0.93 per diluted share, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total assets were ~~$5.1~~$5.2 billion and ~~$4.6~~$5.0 billion at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. Total liabilities were ~~$2.9~~$3.0 billion and ~~$2.5~~$2.8 billion at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. Total stockholders' equity was ~~$2.1~~$2.2 billion and $2.3 billion at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019, respectively.

Our liquidity needs generally arise from fluctuations in our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt service obligations. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had ~~$504.8~~$446.6 million in available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, ~~and $55.0 million in available borrowing capacity under our Receivables Facility,~~ which combined with available cash of ~~$26.9~~$285.2 million, provided liquidity of ~~$586.7~~$731.8 million. Our available cash includes $100 million that we borrowed under our Revolving Credit Facility in March as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the current uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Cash included in our determination of liquidity represents cash in deposit and interest bearing investment accounts. We believe cash provided by operations and financing activities will be adequate to cover our ~~current~~ operational and business ~~needs.~~needs for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we regularly review our mix of fixed versus variable rate debt, and we may, from time to time, issue or retire borrowings and/or refinance existing debt in an effort to mitigate the impact of interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and to maintain a cost-effective capital structure consistent with our anticipated capital requirements. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, approximately ~~59%~~54% of our debt portfolio was comprised of fixed rate debt.

Between now and closing of the Anixter acquisition, our capital allocation priorities include supporting our organic sales growth opportunities and repaying or holding cash available for debt repayment. Prior to signing the Merger Agreement with Anixter, we obtained debt financing commitments comprised of a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion and an unsecured bridge facility in aggregate principal amount of $3.2 billion. Prior to the completion of the merger, we intend to enter into permanent financing to replace the unsecured bridge facility, as well as a consent solicitation, tender offer or exchange offer with respect to Anixter's 5.50% Senior Notes due 2023 and 6.00% Senior Notes due 2025. We expect to use proceeds of the debt financing commitments, together with proceeds of any permanent financing replacing the debt financing commitments, amounts available under the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility and existing cash on hand to consummate the merger. There can be no assurance that WESCO will finance the merger in this anticipated manner and the completion of the merger is not contingent upon the completion of any debt financing. After

closing, it is expected that excess liquidity will be directed primarily at debt reduction and costs related to the integration process, and we expect to maintain sufficient liquidity through our credit facilities and cash balances. We anticipate capital expenditures in 2020 to be sufficient to support our business initiatives.

We monitor the depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents on a regular basis, and we believe that we have placed our deposits with creditworthy financial institutions. We also communicate on a regular basis with our lenders regarding our financial and working capital performance, liquidity position and financial leverage. Our financial leverage ratio was ~~3.4~~3.1 as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~3.0~~2.8 as of December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. In addition, we are in compliance with all covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements as of ~~June 30, 2019.~~

Note: Financial leverage is a non-GAAP measure of the use of debt. Financial leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total debt, including ~~debt discount and debt issuance costs, by EBITDA. Financial leverage ratio, net of cash is calculated by dividing total debt, including debt discount and~~ debt issuance costs, net of cash, by EBITDA. EBITDA, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling ~~$87.2~~$342.6 million, of which ~~$62.2~~$104.3 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "TCJA"), we reevaluated our intent and ability to repatriate foreign earnings based upon the liquidity of our domestic operations and the cash flow needs of our foreign subsidiaries. Consequently, during the ~~year~~years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we repatriated a portion of the previously taxed earnings attributable to our ~~Canadian~~foreign operations. We continue to assert that the remaining undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, the majority of which were subject to the one-time tax imposed by the TCJA, are indefinitely reinvested. We believe that we are able to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity for our domestic operations and commitments without repatriating cash held by these foreign subsidiaries. Upon any future repatriation, additional ~~income taxes~~tax expense or benefit may be incurred; however, ~~it is~~we do not ~~practicable to determine the~~believe such amount ~~at this time.~~

~~We did not note any triggering events or substantive changes during the first six months of 2019 that~~ would require an interim evaluation of impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We will perform our annual impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter.

~~Over the next several quarters, we plan to closely manage working capital, and it is expected that excess cash will~~ be directed primarily at growth initiatives, acquisitions, debt reduction, and share repurchases. We remain focused on maintaining ample liquidity and credit availability. We anticipate capital expenditures in 2019 to be similar to 2018. We believe our balance sheet and ability to generate ample cash flow provides us with a durable business model and should allow us to fund growth initiatives and expansion needs.material.

There were no material changes in our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments that would require an update to the disclosure provided in our ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management believes that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility and the Receivables Facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurances that this will continue to be the case.

Inflation

The rate of inflation, as measured by changes in the producer price index, affects different commodities, the cost of products purchased and ultimately the pricing of our different products and product classes to our customers. For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, pricing related to inflation impacted our sales by ~~approximately 2%~~less than 1%.

Seasonality

Our operating results are not significantly affected by seasonal factors. Sales during the first quarter are usually affected by a reduced level of activity. Sales during the second, third and fourth quarters are generally 65% to 8%7% higher than the first quarter. Sales typically increase beginning in March, with slight fluctuations per month through October. During periods of economic expansion or contraction, our sales by quarter have varied significantly from this pattern.

Guarantor Financial Statements

WESCO Distribution (the “Issuer”) has outstanding $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes” and, together with the 2021 Notes, the “Notes”).

The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of WESCO Distribution and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by WESCO International (the “Parent Guarantor”), ranking pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future senior obligations of the Issuer, including obligations under other unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of the Issuer that are secured by liens on any property or assets of the Issuer, including the Issuer’s Revolving Credit Facility and the then outstanding term loan facility (the ��Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, and are structurally subordinated to all liabilities (including trade payables) of any of the Parent Guarantor’s or the Issuer’s subsidiaries (the “non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and senior in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of the Issuer that are, by their terms, subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.

The Notes are guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor and not by the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, such non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute or contribute, as the case may be, any of their assets to the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor. Therefore, the Notes and the guarantee of the Parent Guarantor (the “Parent Guarantee”) are effectively subordinated to the liabilities of the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The Parent Guarantee constitutes a senior obligation of the Parent Guarantor, ranking pari passu in right of payment with all other senior obligations of the Parent Guarantor, including obligations under other unsubordinated indebtedness. The Parent Guarantee is effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations incurred by the Parent Guarantor that are secured by liens on any property or assets of the Parent Guarantor, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, structurally subordinated to all liabilities (including trade payables) of the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and senior in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of the Parent Guarantor that are, by their terms, subordinated in right of payment to the Parent Guarantee.

The Parent Guarantor guarantees to each holder of the Notes and to the respective trustees (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and punctual payment of all other obligations and due and punctual performance of all obligations of the Issuer to the holders or the respective trustee all in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the indentures governing the Notes and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

If the Issuer becomes a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or encounter other financial difficulty, under federal or state fraudulent transfer law, a court may void, subordinate or otherwise decline to enforce the Notes. A court might do so if it is found that when the Issuer issued the Notes, or in some states when payments became due under the Notes, the Issuer received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either: (i) were insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; (ii) were left with inadequate capital to conduct its business; or (iii) believed or reasonably should have believed that the Issuer would incur debts beyond its ability to pay.

The court might also void an issuance of the Notes without regard to the above factors, if the court found that the Issuer issued the Notes with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. A court would likely find that the Issuer did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the Notes, if the Issuer did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the Notes. If a court were to void the issuance of the Notes, holders would no longer have any claim against the Issuer. Sufficient funds to repay the Notes may not be available from other sources. In addition, the court might direct holders to repay any amounts that they already received from the Issuer.

Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time in this report and in other written reports and oral statements, references are made to expectations regarding our future performance. When used in this context, the words “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “expects,” “projects,” “will” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Such statements including, but not limited to, our statements regarding business strategy, growth strategy, competitive strengths, productivity and profitability enhancement, competition, new product and service introductions and liquidity and capital resources are based on management’s beliefs, as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to management, and involve various risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, forward-looking statements in this document include information regarding our proposed acquisition of Anixter, the potential effects of the pending acquisition on our business and operations prior to the consummation thereof, the effects on WESCO if the acquisition is not consummated, information regarding the combined operations and business of WESCO and Anixter following the acquisition, if consummated, and statements regarding the impact of natural disasters, health epidemics and other outbreaks, especially the outbreak of COVID-19 since December 2019, which may have a material adverse effect on WESCO's business. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information will in fact prove to be accurate. Certain of these risks are set forth in the WESCO International’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, as well as WESCO International’s other reports filed with the ~~Securities and Exchange Commission.~~SEC. We have undertaken no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.

~~There have not been any material~~For a discussion of changes to ~~our exposures to~~the market ~~risk during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019~~risks that ~~would require an update to the relevant disclosures provided~~were previously disclosed in our ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K, refer to Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and to Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors”.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

~~Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases~~, and all the related amendments. In connection with the adoption of this new lease standard, we modified certain processes and implemented internal controls related to leases. Except for the effect of adopting the new lease standard, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, a number of lawsuits and claims have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including litigation relating to commercial, product and employment matters. The outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits may be determined adversely to us. However, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any fiscal period of one or more of these matters may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

~~There have been no material changes~~The following is an additional risk factor to ~~the risk factors~~those previously disclosed in Item 1A. to Part 1 of WESCO’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~

~~Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.~~2019.

The ~~following table sets forth all issuer purchases~~COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected how we, our suppliers and our customers are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent to which it will affect our business, financial condition, results of ~~common~~operations, cash flows, liquidity, and stock ~~during~~price are uncertain.

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was reported in China, and on March 11, 2020, the ~~three months ended June 30, 2019,~~World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and this widespread health crisis is adversely affecting the broader economies, financial markets, workforces, our suppliers and customers, and the business environment.

We cannot be certain about the impact that COVID-19 will have on our business and operations going forward. The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments for which there is significant uncertainty at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of the virus, governmental, business and individuals' actions taken in response, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, restrictions or disruptions to transportation, including ~~those made pursuant~~reduced availability of ground or air transport, the impact of these and other factors on our employees, including disruptions to ~~publicly announced plans~~our operations resulting from the illness of any of our employees, the impact of these and other factors on our ability to sell and provide our products and services, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working from home, the effect on our suppliers and disruptions to the global supply chain, the effect on our customers and their demand for our products and services and ability to pay for them, and any closures of our and our suppliers’ and customers’ facilities. While we are supporting essential businesses and have not had to close our facilities for extended periods of time as of the date of this filing, there is significant uncertainty about what steps we may need to take in response to the pandemic in the future. We have taken actions to reduce costs and cash expenditures, including reductions in administrative expenses, payroll and benefits, capital expenditures, and other costs, and further steps may become necessary in the future. We have also drawn against our credit facilities as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the current uncertainty. Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, we will continue to assess the situation, including the impact of governmental regulations that might be imposed in response to the pandemic. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 on macroeconomic conditions may impact the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity and energy prices, and interest rates. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or ~~programs:~~depression that has occurred or may occur in the future.

Any of these events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and stock price, and could also have the effect of heightening the other risks described in “Risk Factors” under Item 1A and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2020, including Operational Risks, Financial Risks, Regulatory and Legal Risks, and Risks Related to Our Pending Acquisition of Anixter, as well as in subsequent SEC filings.

⁽¹⁾	There were 3,048 shares purchased in the period that were not part of the publicly announced share repurchase program. These shares were surrendered by stock-based compensation plan participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of stock-settled stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock units.


⁽²⁾	On December 13, 2017, WESCO announced that its Board of Directors approved, on December 7, 2017, the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2020. On October 31, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to the authorization from $300 million to $400 million.

⁽³⁾

This amount represents the remaining authorization under the Company's share repurchase program that is available to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. Due to the nature of accelerated share repurchases, the Company receives a certain percentage of shares immediately upon an up-front payment of cash. The remaining shares are delivered by the respective counterparty at the end of the valuation period. The amount authorized under the Company’s share repurchase program was reduced at the time of the up-front cash payment.
