Note B – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("(“ASU No. 2018-15"2018-15”). ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop internal-use software. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for the company in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. The company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2018-15. The adoption is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) ("(“ASU No. 2017-12"2017-12”). ASU No. 2017-12 simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting and results in a more accurate portrayal of the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. On January 1, 2019, the company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2017-12 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2017-12 did not materially impact the company'scompany’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU No. 2016-13"(“Topic 326”). ASU No. 2016-13Topic 326 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded.

adoption. In addition, the company elected a package of practical expedients and the short-term lease exception outlined in Topic 842. The company also implemented internal controls and key systems to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. As a result of adopting Topic 842, the company recognized assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by operating leases, refer to Note C & L.

Note C – Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the changes below and the impairments disclosed in Notes D and E, no material changes have been made to the company'scompany’s significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 7, 2019, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Leases

The company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception based on whether it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Substantially all of the company'scompany’s leases are classified as operating leases. The company has determined that operating lease right-of-use assets will be recorded to "Other assets"“Other assets” and lease liabilities will be recorded to "Other liabilities"“Other liabilities” and "Accrued expenses"“Accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense will be recorded to "Selling,“Selling, general, and administrative expenses"expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease payments will be recorded to "Operating“Operating cash flows"flows” in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term starting on the commencement date. The company generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases and, as such, will apply an incremental borrowing rate based on the company’s cost of borrowing for the relevant terms of each lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms may include an option to extend or terminate a lease if it is reasonably certain that the company will exercise such options. The company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components, and also has elected not to record a right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases which, at inception, have a term of twelve months or less. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Note D – AcquisitionsImpairment of Long-Lived Assets and Loss on Disposition of Businesses

2018 Acquisitions

In 2018,During the second quarter of 2019, the company acquired eInfochips forcommitted to a purchase price of $327,628, which included $14,769 of cash acquired. eInfochips services customers at every phase of technology deployment, including custom hardwareplan to close its personal computer and software, and new Internet of Things basedmobility asset disposition business models. eInfochips is recorded inwithin the company's global components business segment. In light of the plan, the company performed an impairment analysis of the long-lived assets of the personal computer and mobility asset disposition business in accordance with ASC 360 and recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $74,908 to write-down certain assets of the personal computer and mobility asset disposition business to estimated fair value in the second quarter of 2019. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, the company also recorded $253 and $7,163, respectively, in impairment charges related to various other fixed assets, unrelated to the personal computer and mobility asset disposition business.
ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)
During the third quarter of 2019, the company completed the disposition of two foreign subsidiaries related to the personal computer and mobility asset disposition business. As a result of the disposition, the company recognized a net loss of $14,573, primarily related to the reclassification of cumulative translation adjustment to earnings upon the sale.


The following table summarizes the allocation of the net consideration paid to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the eInfochips acquisition:
Accounts receivable, net$13,670
Inventories1,512

Accounts payable(520)
Accrued expenses(33,836)
Deferred tax liability(41,474)
Other liabilities(1,592)
Cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired$312,859


In connection with the eInfochips acquisition, the company allocated $109,000 and $19,000 to customer relationships and trade name with a life of 15 years and 10 years, respectively.

The goodwill related to the eInfochips acquisition represents the expected synergies from combining operations and was recorded in the company's global components business segment and is not tax deductible.

During 2018, the company completed one additional acquisition with a purchase price of approximately $18,704, net of cash acquired. The impact of this acquisition was not material to the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note E – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The company tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist.

During the second quarter of 2019, as a result of the company’s downward revision of forecasted future earnings previously disclosed in Item 2.02 Form 8-K filed on July 15, 2019 and the decision to wind down the company’s personal computer and mobility asset disposition business, the company determined that it was more likely than not that an impairment may exist within the Americas components and Asia-Pacific components reporting units. The company evaluated its other four reporting units and concluded an interim impairment analysis was not required based on the results of those reporting units and historical levels of headroom in each of those reporting units. The interim goodwill impairment analysis related to the Americas components reporting
ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)

unit resulted in partial goodwill impairment charge of $509,000 ($457,806 net of tax) with approximately $600,000 of goodwill remaining in the reporting unit and full impairment of $61,175 ($61,175 net of tax) within the Asia-Pacific reporting unit.
The company estimated the fair value of these reporting units using the income approach. For the purposes of the income approach, fair value was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate. The fair value conclusion as of June 29, 2019 for the Americas components reporting unit is highly sensitive to changes in the assumptions used in the income approach which include forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating income margins, working capital cash flow, forecasted capital expenditures, perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates, among others, all of which require significant judgments by management. As the Americas components reporting unit had 0% excess fair value over the carrying value of the reporting unit as of June 29, 2019, the remaining approximately $600,000 of goodwill is susceptible to future period impairments. For example, a 100 basis point decrease in forecasted gross profit margin could result in a full impairment of the remaining approximately $600,000 of goodwill, absent other inputs improving. The company has used recent historical performance, current forecasted financial information, and broad-based industry and economic statistics as a basis to estimate the key assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model. These key assumptions are inherently uncertain and require a high degree of estimation and judgment based on an evaluation of historical performance, current industry and global economic and geo-political conditions, and the timing and success of the implementation of current strategic initiatives. The company concluded no further indicators of potential impairment existed, and as such, no interim impairment test was required at September 28, 2019. The company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter.

Goodwill of companies acquired, allocated to the company'scompany’s business segments, is as follows:

During the firstsecond quarter of 2019, the company initiated actions to further integrate two global components businesses. These businesses held indefinite-lived trade names with a carrying value of $101,000. As a result of the company’s decision to integrate these brands, we determined the useful lives of the trade names were no longer indefinite as of June 29, 2019, and 2018,began amortizing these trade names over their estimated remaining useful lives. The trade names were tested for impairment as a result of the change in estimated useful lives. The company estimated the fair value of the trade names to be $55,000 using the relief from royalty method and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $46,000 ($34,653 net of tax) during the second quarter of 2019. The drivers of the impairment were primarily due to the shortened useful lives of the asset and a decline of the forecasted revenues attributable to the trade names as integration to the Arrow brand occurs over the estimated remaining useful lives.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, the company recorded amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets of $11,930$10,443 and $13,520,$33,786, respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets was $11,620 and $37,095, respectively.

Note I – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value


Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

TheseForeign exchange contracts are executed to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures resulting from inventory purchases and sales and generally have terms of no more than six months. Gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized when the underlying future purchase or sale is recognized or when the corresponding asset or liability is revalued. The company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. The risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts are estimated using market quotes. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at March 30,September 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $867,361$914,137 (inclusive of foreign exchange contracts designated as a net investment hedge) and $607,747, respectively.

Note N – Contingencies

Environmental Matters

In connection with the purchase of Wyle in August 2000, the company acquired certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle, including Wyle'sWyle’s indemnification obligations to the purchasers of its Wyle Laboratories division for environmental clean-up costs associated with any then existing contamination or violation of environmental regulations. Under the terms of the company'scompany’s purchase of Wyle from the sellers, the sellers agreed to indemnify the company for certain costs associated with the Wyle environmental obligations, among other things. In 2012, the company entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers pursuant to which the sellers paid $110,000 and the company released the sellers from their indemnification obligation. As part of the settlement agreement, the company accepted responsibility for any potential subsequent costs incurred related to the Wyle matters. The company is aware of two Wyle Laboratories facilities (in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California) at which contaminated groundwater was identified and will require environmental remediation. In addition, the company was named as a defendant in several lawsuits related to the Norco facility and a third site in El Segundo, California which have now been settled to the satisfaction of the parties.

The company expects these environmental liabilities to be resolved over an extended period of time. Costs are recorded for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing and extent of remediation, improvements in remediation technologies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Accordingly, the company cannot presently fully estimate the ultimate potential costs related to these sites until such time as a substantial portion of the investigation at the sites is completed and remedial action plans are developed and, in some instances, implemented. To the extent that future environmental costs exceed amounts currently accrued by the company, net income would be adversely impacted and such impact could be material.

Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in "Accrued expenses"“Accrued expenses” and "Other liabilities"“Other liabilities” in the company'scompany’s consolidated balance sheets. The company has determined that there is no amount within the environmental liability range that is a better estimate than any other amount, and therefore has recorded the accruals at the minimum amount of the ranges.

As successor-in-interest to Wyle, the company is the beneficiary of various Wyle insurance policies that covered liabilities arising out of operations at Norco and Huntsville. To date, the company has recovered approximately $37,000 from certain insurance carriers relating to environmental clean-up matters at the Norco site. The company is considering the best way to pursue its potential claims against insurers regarding liabilities arising out of operations at Huntsville. The resolution of these matters will likely take several years. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries related to the Norco and Huntsville environmental matters, as the realization of the claims for recovery are not deemed probable at this time.

Environmental Matters - Huntsville

In February 2015, the company and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management ("ADEM"(“ADEM”) finalized and executed a consent decree in connection with the Huntsville, Alabama site. Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater is complete and has been approved by ADEM. Approximately $6,300$6,600 was spent to date and the company currently anticipates no additional investigative and related expenditures. The nature and scope of subsequent remediation at the site has not yet been determined, but assuming the outcome includes source control and certain other measures, the cost is estimated to be between $4,100$3,800 and $10,000.

Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.

Environmental Matters - Norco

In October 2003, the company entered into a consent decree with Wyle Laboratories and the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (the "DTSC"“DTSC”) in connection with the Norco site. In April 2005, a Remedial Investigation Work Plan was approved by DTSC that provided for site-wide characterization of known and potential environmental issues. Investigations performed in connection with this work plan and a series of subsequent technical memoranda continued until the filing of a final Remedial Investigation Report early in 2008. Work is under way pertaining to the remediation of contaminated groundwater at certain areas on the Norco site and of soil gas in a limited area immediately adjacent to the site. In 2008, a hydraulic containment system ("HCS"(“HCS”) was installed to capture and treat groundwater before it moves into the adjacent offsite area. In September 2013, the DTSC approved the final Remedial Action Plan ("RAP"(“RAP”) and work is currently progressing under the RAP. The approved RAP included the potential for additional remedial action after the five year review of the HCS if the review found that contaminants were not sufficiently reduced in the offsite area. The HCS five year review submitted to DTSC in December 2016 identified significant reductions in contaminants offsite except in a key area identified in the RAP. This exception triggered the need for additional offsite remediation that began in 2018.

Approximately $71,100$73,800 was spent to date on remediation, project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities. The company currently estimates that these activities will give rise to an additional $10,800$8,000 to $21,500.$18,750. Project management and regulatory oversight include costs incurred by project consultants for project management and costs billed by DTSC to provide regulatory oversight.

Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work under the RAP is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.

Other

In 2019, the company determined that from 2015 to 2019 a limited number of non-executive employees, without first obtaining required authorization from the company or the United States government, had facilitated product shipments with an aggregate total invoiced value of approximately $4,770, to resellers for reexports to persons covered by the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 or other United States sanctions and export control laws. The company has voluntarily reported these activities to the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and the United States Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”), conducted an internal investigation and terminated or disciplined the employees involved. The company has cooperated fully and intends to continue to cooperate fully with OFAC and BIS with respect to their review, which may result in the imposition of penalties, which we are currently not able to estimate. 

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will materially impact the company'scompany’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

The company'scompany’s financial objectives are to grow sales faster than the market, increase the markets served, grow profits faster than sales, and increase return on invested capital. To achieve its objectives, the company seeks to capture significant opportunities to grow across products, markets, and geographies. To supplement its organic growth strategy, the company continually evaluates strategic acquisitions to broaden its product and value-added service offerings, increase its market penetration, and expand its geographic reach.

Executive Summary

Consolidated sales for the third quarter and first quarternine months of 2019 increaseddecreased by 4.1%5.5% and 0.8%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier period.periods. The increasedecrease for the firstthird quarter of 2019 was driven by a increase6.2% decrease in the global components business segment sales of 5.3% and a increase3.8% decrease in global ECS business segment sales. The decrease for the first nine months of 2019 was driven by a 0.5% decrease in the global components business segment sales and a 1.6% decrease in the global ECS business segment sales of 0.9%.sales. Adjusted for the change in foreign currencies, dispositions, and dispositionsthe wind down, consolidated sales decreased 3.5% for the third quarter of 2019 and increased 7.6%2.0% for the first quarternine months of 2019, compared with the year-earlier period.periods.

NetThe company committed to a plan to close the company’s personal computer and mobility asset disposition business (referred to as the “wind down”), whose past results have been included as part of the global components business segment. As a result of the wind down, the company incurred non-recurring charges of $26.1 million and $101.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, and expects to incur additional non-recurring charges of approximately $3.5 million through the first half of 2020. The charges include $74.9 million of non-cash impairments of certain long-lived and intangible assets, loss on disposition of businesses, net, of $14.6 million, cash personnel charges, and other exit and disposal costs. The company expects that operations will cease and the remaining wind down of the personal computer and mobility asset disposition business will be substantially complete by the end of 2019.

The company recorded a non-cash charge of $1.1 million and $21.2 million, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, primarily related to a subset of inventory held by its digital business within global components. The company made the decision to narrow its digital inventory offerings during Q2 2019 and is disposing of its existing inventory of these products and does not expect to fully realize their carrying values.

The company recorded a charge (credit) of $(0.7) million and $15.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, related to the receivables and inventory of its Arrow Financing Solutions business (“AFS”) within global components. This business provided financing in the form of notes to start-ups as a strategy to capture new business opportunities. The company decided that it will no longer provide notes to its components customers. The company expects that this decision will adversely impact the ability of the customers to repay their notes and trade receivables. During the second quarter of 2019, the company recorded reserves on the receivables and write-downs on customer specific inventory for which the company has no alternative use.


The company reported net income (loss) attributable to shareholders increased to $140.7of $92.1 million and $(316.1) million in the third quarter and first quarternine months of 2019, respectively, compared to $139.1with $176.5 million and $485.5 million in the year-earlier period.periods. The following items impacted the comparability of the company'scompany’s results:

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand the company'scompany’s operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods, primarily because management typically monitors

the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.


Sales

Substantially all of the company'scompany’s sales are made on an order-by-order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts. As such, the nature of the company'scompany’s business does not provide for the visibility of material forward-looking information from its customers and suppliers beyond a few months.

Impairments

During the second quarter of 2019, the company committed to a plan to close its personal computer and mobility asset disposition business within the global components business segment. In light of the plan, the company performed an impairment analysis of the long-lived assets of the personal computer and mobility asset disposition business in accordance with ASC 360 and recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $74.9 million to write-down certain assets of the personal computer and mobility asset disposition business to estimated fair value in the second quarter of 2019.

During the second quarter of 2019, as a result of the company’s downward revision of forecasted future earnings previously disclosed in Item 2.02 Form 8-K filed on July 15, 2019 and the decision to wind down the company’s personal computer and mobility asset disposition business, the company determined that it was more likely than not that an impairment may exist within the Americas components and Asia-Pacific components reporting units. The company evaluated its other four reporting units and concluded an interim impairment analysis was not required based on the results of those reporting units and historical levels of headroom in each of those reporting units. The interim goodwill impairment analysis related to the Americas components reporting unit resulted in partial goodwill impairment charge of $509.0 million ($457.8 million net of tax) with approximately $600.0 million of goodwill remaining in the reporting unit and full impairment of $61.2 million ($61.2 million net of tax) within the Asia-Pacific reporting unit.
The company estimated the fair value of these reporting units using the income approach. For the purposes of the income approach, fair value was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate. The fair value conclusion as of June 29, 2019 for the Americas components reporting unit is highly sensitive to changes in the assumptions used in the income approach which include forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating income margins, working capital cash flow, forecasted capital expenditures, perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates, among others, all of which require significant judgments by management. As the Americas components reporting unit has 0% excess fair value over the carrying value of the reporting unit as of June 29, 2019, the remaining approximately $600.0 million of goodwill is susceptible to future period impairments. For example, a 100 basis point decrease in forecasted gross profit margin could result in a full impairment of the remaining approximately $600.0 million of goodwill, absent other inputs improving. The company has used recent historical performance, current forecasted financial information, and broad-based industry and economic statistics as a basis to estimate the key assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model. These key assumptions are inherently uncertain and require a high degree of estimation and judgment based on an evaluation of historical performance, current industry and global economic and geo-political conditions, and the timing and success of the implementation of current strategic initiatives. The company concluded no further indicators of potential impairment existed, and as such, no interim impairment test was required at September 28, 2019.

During the second quarter of 2019, the company initiated actions to further integrate two global components businesses. These businesses held indefinite-lived trade names with a carrying value of $101.0 million. As a result of the company’s decision to integrate these brands, we determined the useful lives of the trade names were no longer indefinite. The company will begin amortizing these trade names over their estimated remaining useful life. The trade names were tested for impairment during the second quarter as a result of the change in estimated useful lives. The company estimated the fair value of the trade names to be $55.0 million using the relief from royalty method and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $46.0 million ($34.7 million net of tax). The drivers of the impairment were primarily due to the shortened useful lives of the asset and a decline of the forecasted revenues attributable to the trade name as integration to the Arrow brand occurs over the estimated remaining useful life.

Income Tax

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate.

The 2019 swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and managed the risk associated with changes in treasury rates and the impact of future interest payments on anticipated debt issuances to replace the company’s 6.00% notes due to mature in April 2020. The fair value of the 2019 swaps is recorded in the shareholders’ equity section in the company’s consolidated balance sheets in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and will be reclassified into income over the life of the anticipated debt issuance.

Financing costs related to these transactions were not material and are included in "Interest“Interest and other financing expense, net"net” in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Management believes that the company'scompany’s current cash availability, its current borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and asset securitization program, and its expected ability to generate future operating cash flows are sufficient to meet its projected cash flow needs for the foreseeable future. The company also may issue debt or equity securities in the future and management believes the company will have adequate access to the capital markets, if needed. The company continually evaluates its liquidity requirements and would seek to amend its existing borrowing capacity or access the financial markets as deemed necessary.
