Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
For a description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and an understanding of Avnet and the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the past three fiscal years, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the description of the business appearing in Item 1 of this Report and the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes and schedule, and other information appearing in Item 8 of this Report. Discussions of fiscal 2024 items and year-to-year comparisons between fiscal years 2025 and 2024 are not included in this Form 10-K and can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2025. The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year. Fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024 each contained 52 weeks.
The discussion of the Company’s results of operations includes references to the impact of foreign currency translation. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens and the stronger exchange rates are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the result is a decrease in U.S. Dollars of reported results. Conversely, when the U.S. Dollar weakens, the weaker exchange rates result in an increase in U.S. Dollars of reported results. In the discussion that follows, results excluding this impact, primarily for subsidiaries in EMEA and Asia, are referred to as “constant currency.”
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:
The following table provides a reconciliation of operating income to adjusted operating income:

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to financial statement users to better assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing results with prior periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business with and without these adjustments to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in many cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. However, any analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
Industry outlook
The Company’s operations subject it to tariffs and other trade protection measures. The U.S. administration has instituted certain changes, and may make additional changes, in trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., and other measures affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries from which the Company imports. Due in part to these measures, some countries are changing their trade policies relating to goods imported from the U.S. These global trade disruptions and geopolitical tensions, together with

any related downturns in the global economy, could dampen customer demand, increase market volatility, and impact currency exchange rates, all of which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), including, among others, tariffs on imports of certain Canadian, Chinese, and Mexican goods, a universal baseline tariff on imports from most countries, and reciprocal tariffs on select countries. The global tariff landscape continues to shift rapidly, with changes impacting businesses and markets around the world.
The Company continues to monitor the situation, including any potential refunds of such tariffs, and evaluate the impact on its results of operations. No potential refunds have been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact.
Sales related to customer billings for various tariffs were less than one percent of total sales for fiscal 2026, fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.
During fiscal 2026, the Company’s financial performance improved as demand for electronic components strengthened resulting in year-over-year sales growth across all regions and improved days of inventory on hand. The Company expects sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 will grow approximately 10% compared to fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 sales with expected sales growth across all Electronic Components regions and Farnell.

Sales by Geographic Region:
Total Avnet $ 27,632.7 $ 22,200.8
Avnet’s sales for fiscal 2026 were $27.63 billion, an increase of $5.43 billion, or 24.5%, from fiscal 2025 sales of $22.20 billion, with growth across all EC regions and Farnell. Sales in constant currency increased 22.4% year over year, driven by strong performance in both EC and Farnell operating groups across all end markets served.
EC sales in fiscal 2026 were $25.85 billion, representing a $5.10 billion increase, or 24.6% increase over prior year sales of $20.75 billion. EC sales increased 22.6% year over year in constant currency. All three EC regions contributed to this growth led by the Company’s Asia region. The increase in EC sales was mainly attributable to increased sales volumes and the mix of higher-priced components and to a lesser extent from increase in prices for certain memory-related products.
Farnell sales in fiscal 2026 were $1.78 billion, representing an increase of $335.0 million or 23.2%, compared to prior year sales of $1.45 billion. The year-over-year increase in sales in fiscal 2026 is primarily due to improvement in demand for single board computers and on-the-board electronic components. The increase in sales at Farnell was primarily driven by an increase in volume as increases in components pricing including certain memory-related products was a smaller contributor to sales growth during fiscal 2026.
Gross Profit
The Company’s gross profit and gross margin are primarily affected by sales volume, product mix, customer mix and pricing, and geographic sales mix. Gross profit increased $496.9 million, or 20.8% to $2.88 billion in fiscal 2026, compared to $2.38 billion in fiscal 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales in both operating groups, partially offset by year-over-year lower gross profit margin in the EC operating group. Gross profit margin decreased to 10.4% in fiscal 2026 or 31 basis points from fiscal 2025 gross profit margin of 10.7%.
24
Table of Contents
EC gross profit margin declined in fiscal 2026 compared with fiscal 2025 primarily due to a higher mix of sales from the lower-margin Asia region and changes in product and customer mix in the Western regions. Asia represented approximately 51% of EC sales in fiscal 2026, compared with 49% in fiscal 2025. EC gross profit margin decreased 44 basis points to 9.24% in fiscal 2026 from 9.68% in fiscal 2025.
Farnell gross profit margin was 27.73% in fiscal 2026, up 168 basis points year over year, primarily due to a higher mix of on-the-board electronic components and, to a lesser extent, an increase in component pricing for certain memory-related products during fiscal 2026.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) in fiscal 2026 were $2.02 billion, an increase of $260.0 million, or 14.8%, from fiscal 2025. The year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increases in variable operating expenses associated with higher sales volumes and the impact of changes in foreign currency translation rates.
Metrics that management monitors with respect to its operating expenses are SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales and as a percentage of gross profit. In fiscal 2026, SG&A expenses were 7.3% of sales 70.2% of gross profit, compared with 7.9% and 73.9%, respectively, in fiscal 2025. The year-over-year decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales and gross profit was primarily due to increased sales without a corresponding increase in SG&A expenses, partially offset by the decline in gross profit margin in EC as discussed above.
See Note 16 “Segment information” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the amount of selling, general and administrative expenses by operating group.
Restructuring, Integration and Other Expenses
The Company recorded total restructuring, integration, and other expenses in fiscal 2026 of $134.7 million consisting of $87.7 million of severance and other restructuring related expenses, and $47.0 million of integration and other costs primarily related to start-up costs associated with a new distribution center in EMEA, partially offset by a benefit due to a change in estimate from the settlement of an audit in Mexico. The largest component of the severance expense in fiscal 2026, was due to the announced closure of a distribution center in Germany that impacted approximately 350 employees. The closure is expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2027.
The after-tax impact of restructuring, integration, and other expenses were $96.1 million and $1.15 per share on a diluted basis.
During fiscal 2025 the Company recorded restructuring, integration, and other expenses of $108.3 million, which consists of restructuring costs of $56.1 million, integration and other costs of $14.5 million, a benefit of $6.0 million for changes in estimates for costs associated with prior year restructuring actions, and $43.7 million of other costs primarily related to the estimated contingent liability associated with the consumption tax audit in Mexico.
See Note 17, “Restructuring expenses” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to restructuring expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income increased $210.5 million, or 40.9%, to $724.8 million in fiscal 2026, compared with $514.3 million in fiscal 2025. Operating income margin increased 30 basis points to 2.6% in fiscal 2026 from 2.3% in fiscal

Table of Contents
2025. Adjusted operating income for fiscal 2026 was $860.9 million, an increase of $236.9 million or 38.0%, from fiscal 2025 adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income margin increased 31 basis points to 3.1% in fiscal 2026 compared to 2.8% in fiscal 2025. These increases were primarily driven by operating leverage from higher sales.
EC operating income increased 26.9% to $898.5 million, and EC operating income margin increased 7 basis points to 3.5% in fiscal 2026. Farnell operating income increased 221.7% to $105.7 million in fiscal 2026. Farnell operating income margin increased 366 basis points to 5.9% in fiscal 2026. The increases in operating income and operating income margin in Farnell are due to higher sales and higher gross profit margin.
Interest and Other Financing Expenses, Netand Other Expense, Net
Interest and other financing expenses for fiscal 2026 was $250.7 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 1.8%, compared with interest and other financing expenses of $246.4 million in fiscal 2025. The increase in interest and other financing expenses in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025 is primarily a result of higher average borrowings.
The Company had other expenses of $6.6 million in fiscal 2026, compared to other expenses of $17.3 million in fiscal 2025. The decrease in other expenses is primarily due to differences in foreign currency translation losses between the years.
Income Tax
Income tax expenses were $133.0 million in fiscal 2026, reflecting an effective tax rate of 28.5% as compared to income tax expenses of $10.4 million in fiscal 2025, reflecting an effective tax rate of 4.1%. The increase in the effective tax rate in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025 was primarily related to the tax attribute carryforwards that were generated in fiscal 2025, but not in fiscal 2026.
See Note 9, “Income taxes” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on the effective tax rate.
Net Income
As a result of the factors described in the preceding sections of this MD&A, the Company’s net income in fiscal 2026 was $334.4 million, or earnings per share on a diluted basis of $4.01, compared with fiscal 2025 net income of $240.2 million, or earnings per share on a diluted basis of $2.75.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities was $280.9 million in fiscal 2026, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $724.5 million in fiscal 2025. The $1.01 billion year-over-year decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to cash used for working capital in fiscal 2026 to support sales growth. Cash used for working capital and other was $802.4 million during fiscal 2026, compared with cash generated from working capital of $402.2 million in fiscal 2025, primarily reflecting higher inventory purchases, the timing of payments for inventory purchases and higher accounts receivable due to increased sales and cash collection timing. The Company used $61.4 million of cash from operations to settle the consumption tax audit in Mexico during fiscal 2026. Other, net in fiscal 2025 included a $9.2 million gain recognized on the sale of a building during fiscal 2025.

Table of Contents
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by debt financing activities was $568.9 million in fiscal 2026, primarily reflecting $633.8 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Notes, $270.2 million of proceeds from term loans, $157.9 million of net borrowings under the Credit Facility, and $57.0 million of proceeds from other debts. These cash inflows were partially offset by the repayment of the $550.0 million 4.63% Notes in April 2026. In comparison, net debt repayments were $274.9 million in fiscal 2025.
The Company repurchased $138.3 million of common stock under its share repurchase plan during fiscal 2026, compared with $303.5 million during fiscal 2025. The Company paid cash dividends of $1.40 per share, or $114.4 million, during fiscal 2026, compared with $1.32 per share, or $113.3 million, during fiscal 2025.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $65.7 million during fiscal 2026, compared to fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower capital expenditures.
Financing Transactions
The Company maintains a diversified financing structure, including both short-term and long-term arrangements to support its operating requirements and supplement cash generated from operating activities. The Company seeks to reduce reliance on any single source of financing and to lower overall funding costs. These arrangements include public debt (“Notes”), convertible debt, short-term and long-term bank and term loans, a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), and an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Program”).
The Company has various lines of credit, financing arrangements, and other forms of bank debt in the U.S. and various foreign locations to fund the working capital, foreign exchange, overdraft, capital expenditure, and letter of credit needs of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Outstanding borrowings under such forms of debt at the end of fiscal 2026 was $162.6 million.
As an alternative form of liquidity outside of the United States, primarily in the Asia region, the Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to financial institutions pursuant to factoring agreements. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and presents cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Fees for the sales of trade accounts receivable are classified within “Interest and other financing expenses, net” in the consolidated financial statements.
See Note 7, “Debt” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on financing transactions including the Credit Facility, the Securitization Program and the outstanding Notes as of June 27, 2026.
Covenants and Conditions
The Company’s Credit Facility includes covenants that limit, among other items, the Company’s ability to incur debt, repurchase shares, pay dividends, make investments and incur capital expenditures. The Credit Facility also includes a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a leverage ratio below a specified threshold. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 27, 2026.
The Company’s Securitization Program includes covenants related to the quality of the receivables sold. If these covenants are not satisfied, the Company may be unable to borrow additional funds, and the financial institutions may
27
Table of Contents
deem the noncompliance an amortization event under the Securitization Program agreements, which would permit the financial institutions to liquidate the accounts receivables to cover any outstanding borrowings. Circumstances that could affect the Company’s ability to satisfy these covenants and related conditions may be affected by the Company’s ongoing profitability, as well as other economic, market, and industry factors. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 27, 2026.
Management does not believe that the covenants under the Credit Facility or Securitization Program limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy or its future financing needs.
See Liquidity below for further discussion of the Company’s availability under these various facilities.
Liquidity
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $155.4 million as of June 27, 2026, of which $146.4 million was held outside the United States. As of June 28, 2025, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $192.4 million, of which $181.8 million was held outside of the United States.
During periods of weakening demand in the electronic components industry, the Company typically generates cash from operating activities. Conversely, during periods of higher growth, the Company generally uses cash to fund working capital requirements. For the fiscal year ended June 27, 2026, the Company used $280.9 million of cash in operating activities.
The Company’s liquidity is affected by a variety of factors, including normal business operations and general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory conditions, many of which are outside the Company’s control. Cash balances held outside the United States that cannot be remitted in a tax-efficient manner are generally used to support local working capital requirements, including inventory purchases, capital expenditures and other foreign business needs. In addition, local government regulations may restrict the Company’s ability to transfer funds among jurisdictions under certain circumstances. Management does not believe these restrictions would limit the Company’s ability to execute its intended business strategy.
In September 2025, the Company issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2030. The Company used the net proceeds to (i) reduce the Credit Facility by $533.8 million and (ii) repurchase $100 million of the Company’s common stock in privately negotiated transactions entered into in connection with the convertible debt offering.
In July 2026, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2026, the Company amended and extended its trade accounts receivable securitization program for two years. The amendment increased the maximum purchase limit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement from $500.0 million to $700.0 million, extended the facility termination date to July 1, 2028, and excluded certain receivables from the agreement. On August 12, 2026, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2026, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“2026 Term Loan”) for $375 million. The loan is priced at a variable interest rate and matures in July 2028. See Item 9B (other information) of this Annual Report for additional information regarding the 2026 Term Loan.
As of June 27, 2026, there were $557.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and $0.8 million in letters of credit issued, and $500.0 million outstanding under the Securitization Program. During fiscal 2026, the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the Credit Facility of approximately $744.8 million and $476.8 million under the Securitization Program. During fiscal 2025, the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the Credit Facility of approximately $1.00 billion and $490.5 million under the Securitization

Program. As of June 27, 2026, the combined availability under the Credit Facility and the Securitization Program was $1.19 billion. Availability under the Securitization Program is subject to the Company having sufficient eligible trade accounts receivable in the United States to support desired borrowings.
The Company has the following contractual obligations outstanding as of June 27, 2026 (in millions):
Payments due by period
Less than More than

The Company purchases inventories in the normal course of business throughout the year through the issuance of purchase orders to suppliers. During fiscal 2026, the Company’s cost of sales, substantially all of which related to the underlying purchase of inventories was $24.8 billion and the Company had $6.1 billion of inventories as of June 27, 2026. The Company expects to continue to purchase sufficient inventory to meet its customers’ demands in fiscal year 2027, some of which relates to outstanding purchase orders at the end of fiscal 2026. Outstanding purchase orders with suppliers may be non-cancellable/non-returnable at the point where such orders are issued or may become non-cancellable at some point in the future, typically within 30 days to 90 days from the requested delivery date of inventories.
At June 27, 2026, the Company had an estimated liability for income tax contingencies of $123.9 million, which is not included in the above table. The settlement period for the remaining amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, including related accrued interest and penalties, cannot be determined, and therefore was not included in the table.
As of June 27, 2026, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $225.8 million of shares of the Company’s common stock through the share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors. The Company may repurchase stock from time to time at the discretion of management, subject to strategic considerations, market conditions including share price and other factors. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice. During fiscal 2026, the Company repurchased $138.3 million of common stock.
The Company has historically paid quarterly cash dividends on shares of its common stock, and future dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.35 per share, which resulted in $28.7 million of dividend payments during the quarter.
The Company continually monitors and reviews its liquidity position and funding needs. Management believes that the Company’s ability to generate operating cash flows through the liquidation of working capital in the future and available borrowing capacity, including capacity for the non-recourse sale of trade accounts receivable, will be sufficient to meet its future liquidity needs. Additionally, the Company believes that it has sufficient access to additional liquidity from the capital markets if necessary.

Table of Contents
During fiscal 2027 the Company may use cash for investing and financing activities including the payment of cash dividends and capital expenditures for distribution centers and information systems including digital tools and capabilities. The Company may also use cash in fiscal 2027 for share repurchases and for acquisitions.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon the Company’s continual evaluation of available information, including historical results and anticipated future events. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require significant judgments and estimates. Management believes the Company’s most critical accounting policies at the end of fiscal 2026 relate to the valuation of inventories and accounting for income taxes.
Valuation of Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Inventory cost includes the purchase price of finished goods, and any freight cost incurred to receive the inventory into the Company’s distribution centers. The Company’s inventories include electronic components sold into changing, cyclical, and competitive markets, so inventories may decline in market value or become obsolete.
The Company regularly evaluates inventories for expected customer demand, obsolescence, current market prices, and other factors that may render inventories less marketable. Write-downs are recorded so that inventories reflect the estimated net realizable value and take into account the Company’s contractual provisions with its suppliers, which may provide certain protections to the Company for product obsolescence and price erosion in the form of rights of return, stock rotation rights, obsolescence allowances, industry specific supplier rebate programs and price protections. Because of the large number of products and suppliers and the complexity of managing the process around price protections, supplier rebate programs and stock rotations, estimates are made regarding the net realizable value of inventories. Additionally, assumptions about future demand and market conditions, as well as decisions to discontinue certain product lines, impact the evaluation of whether to write-down inventories. If future demand changes or actual market conditions are less favorable than assumed, then management evaluates whether additional write-downs of inventories are required. In any case, actual net realizable values could be different from those currently estimated.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Management’s judgment is required in determining income tax expense, unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and valuation allowances recorded against net deferred tax assets. Recovering net deferred tax assets depends on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions. In addition, when assessing the need for valuation allowances, the Company considers historic levels and types of income, expectations and risk associated with estimates of future taxable income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If the Company determines that it cannot realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, it may record additional valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase to income tax expense in the period such determination is made. Similarly, if the Company determines that it can realize all or part of its deferred tax assets that have an associated valuation allowance established, the Company may release a valuation allowance with a corresponding benefit to income tax expense in the period such determination is made.

Table of Contents
The Company establishes contingent liabilities for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain tax matters. 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. The anticipated and actual outcomes of these matters may differ, which may result in changes in estimates to such unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. To the extent such changes in estimates are necessary, the Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense.
In determining the Company’s income tax expense, management considers current tax regulations in the numerous jurisdictions in which it operates, including the impact of tax law and regulation changes in the jurisdictions the Company operates in. The Company exercises judgment for interpretation and application of such current tax regulations. Changes to such tax regulations or disagreements with the Company’s interpretation or application by tax authorities in any of the Company’s major jurisdictions may have a significant impact on the Company’s income tax expense.
See Note 9, “Income taxes” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on income tax expense, valuation allowances and unrecognized tax benefits.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). The guidance is designed to improve financial reporting by requiring public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the financial statement notes at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU No. 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2028 and early adoption is permitted.

Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new accounting standard could have on its hedge accounting policies and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU No. 2025-11”). This update enhances the clarity and organization of interim reporting and the applicability of Topic 270. It also clarifies the required form and content of interim financial statements, including requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The standard is effective for interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, which for the Company would be the first quarter of fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the update either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2025-11 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company seeks to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering financial arrangements, from time to time, which are intended to provide an economic hedge against all, or a portion of, the risks associated with such volatility. The Company continues to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not economically hedged.
The following table sets forth the scheduled maturities of the Company’s debt outstanding at June 27, 2026 (dollars in millions):

Liabilities:

The following table sets forth the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt and the average interest rates at June 27, 2026, and June 28, 2025 (dollars in millions):
Carrying Value Fair Value at Carrying Value Fair Value at
Liabilities:
Average interest rate 3.9 % 5.0 %
Average interest rate 4.6 % 5.3 %
Many of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies, which subjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The Company uses economic hedges to reduce this risk utilizing natural hedging (i.e., offsetting receivables and payables in the same foreign currency) and creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments (primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts typically with maturities of less than 60 days, but no longer than one year). The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks to the extent they are not economically hedged. The Company adjusts any economic hedges to fair value within the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations as the remeasurement of the underlying assets or liabilities being economically hedged. Therefore, the changes in valuation of the underlying items being economically hedged are offset by the changes in fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates under the forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at June 27, 2026, would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $20.0 million to the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts, which would generally be offset by an opposite effect on the underlying exposure being economically hedged. See Note 2, “Derivative financial instruments” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on derivative financial instruments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Avnet, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Avnet, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 27, 2026, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes and financial statement schedule for the year ended June 27, 2026 listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 27, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 27, 2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 27, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements 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 audit 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. 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 opinions.

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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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.
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.
Critical Audit Matters
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 (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters 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.
Revenue Recognition
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, management recognizes revenue at the point at which control of the underlying products are transferred to the customer. For electronic component and related product sales, transfer of control to the customer generally occurs upon product shipment but it may occur at a later date depending on the agreed upon sales terms (such as delivery at the customer's designated location, or when products that are consigned at customer locations are consumed). Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. The Company’s sales for the year ended June 27, 2026 were $27.6 billion.
The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process. These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading a sample of customer agreements for relevant contractual terms; (ii) evaluating revenue recognized by either (a) testing the issuance and settlement of invoices and credit memos, tracing transactions not settled to a detailed listing of accounts receivable, and testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management or (b) testing, on a sample basis, revenue transactions by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as contracts, purchase orders, invoices, proof of shipment, and cash receipts, as applicable; (iii) confirming, on a sample basis, outstanding customer invoice balances as of year-end and, for confirmations not returned, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as contracts, purchase

orders, invoices, proof of shipment or delivery, as applicable, and subsequent cash receipts, as applicable; (iv) testing credit memos, on a sample basis, by obtaining and inspecting source documents, which included support for the nature and amount of the selected credit memos.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avnet, Inc. and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Avnet”). All intercompany and intracompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified or combined to conform to the current period presentation.
Fiscal year — The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday closest to June 30th. Fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 contain 52 weeks, and fiscal 2027 will contain 53 weeks. Unless otherwise noted, all references to “fiscal” or “year” shall mean the Company’s fiscal year.
Management estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, reported amounts of sales and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less including money market funds to be cash equivalents.
Receivables – Receivables, predominately comprised of customer trade accounts, are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses in the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the receivables’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant available information about expected credit losses, including information about historical credit losses, past events, current conditions, and other factors which may affect the collectability of receivables. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current receivable specific risk characteristics, such as changes in customer behavior, economic and industry changes, or other relevant factors. Expected credit losses are estimated on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist.
Inventories — Inventories, comprised principally of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out or moving average cost basis, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Inventory cost includes the purchase price of finished goods, and any freight cost incurred to receive the inventory into the Company’s distribution centers. The Company regularly reviews the cost of inventory against its estimated net realizable value, considering historical experience and any contractual rights of return, stock rotations, vendor rebates, excess, and obsolescence allowances, or price protections provided by the Company’s suppliers. It records the lower of cost or net realizable value write-down if any inventories have a cost in excess of such inventories’ estimated net realizable value.
Depreciation, amortization and useful lives — The Company reports property, plant, and equipment at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire or construct the assets, required installation costs, interest capitalized during the construction period, and any expenditure that substantially adds to the value or substantially extends the useful life of an existing asset. Additionally, the Company capitalizes qualified costs related to
44
Table of Contents
AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
software obtained or developed for internal use as a component of property, plant, and equipment. Software obtained for internal use has generally been enterprise-level business operations, logistics, and finance software that is customized to meet the Company’s specific operational requirements. The Company begins depreciation and amortization (“depreciation”) for property, plant, and equipment when an asset is both in the location and condition for its intended use.
Property, plant, and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for property, plant, and equipment are typically as follows: buildings (30 years); machinery, fixtures and equipment (2-10 years); information technology hardware and software (2-10 years); and leasehold improvements (over the applicable lease term or economic useful life, if shorter).
The Company amortizes intangible assets acquired in business combinations or asset combinations using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the intangible assets from the date of acquisition, which is generally between 5-10 years.
Long-lived asset impairment — Long-lived assets, including property, plant, equipment, intangible assets and operating lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (“asset group”). An impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. An impairment is measured as the amount by which an asset group’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company considers a long-lived asset to be abandoned when it has ceased use of such abandoned asset and if the Company has no intent to use or repurpose the asset in the future. The Company continually evaluates the carrying value and the remaining economic useful life of long-lived assets and adjusts the carrying value and remaining useful life when appropriate.
Leases — Substantially all the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases and are predominately related to real property for distribution centers, office space, and integration facilities, with a lease term of up to 75 years. The Company’s equipment leases are primarily for automobiles, distribution center equipment and office equipment, which are not material to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Lease right-of-use assets (“Operating lease assets”) and associated liabilities (“Operating lease liabilities”) are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Certain lease agreements may include one or more options to extend or terminate a lease. Lease terms are inclusive of these options if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
The Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, as such, the discount rate used to calculate present value is based upon an estimate of the Company’s secured borrowing rate, which varies based on the lease term and the currency of the lease payments. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included as a component of “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Lease payments are primarily fixed; however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the measurement of operating lease assets and liabilities.

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Goodwill — Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company does not amortize goodwill but instead tests goodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter. If necessary, the Company records any impairment resulting from such goodwill impairment testing as a component of operating expenses. Impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, which is defined as the same, or one level below, an operating segment. The Company will perform an interim impairment test between required annual tests if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill is less than its carrying value.
In performing goodwill impairment testing, the Company may first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is not greater than its carrying value, the Company must perform a quantitative impairment test. The Company defines the fair value of a reporting unit as the price that would be received to sell the reporting unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the impairment test date. To determine the fair value of a reporting unit, the Company uses the income methodology of valuation, which includes the discounted cash flow method, and the market methodology of valuation, which considers values of comparable businesses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s reporting units.
Significant management judgment is required when estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting units from a market participant perspective (including forecasting of future operating results and the discount rates used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation) and in the selection of comparable businesses and related market multiples that are used in the market method of valuation. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the reverse is true, then the Company measures a goodwill impairment loss based on such difference.
The Company evaluates each quarter if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of its reporting units is less than their carrying value, which would require the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. Indicators the Company evaluates to determine whether an interim goodwill impairment test is necessary include, but are not limited to, (i) a sustained decrease in share price or market capitalization as of any fiscal quarter end, (ii) changes in macroeconomic or industry environments, (iii) the results of, and the amount of time passed since, the last goodwill impairment test, and (iv) the long-term expected financial performance of its reporting units.
Convertible Debt – The Company records its convertible debt as a liability, measured at amortized cost. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s convertible debt are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of long-term debt. These issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which closely approximates the effective interest rate method, to interest expense over the term of the convertible debt. See Note 7, “Debt”, for further details.
Foreign currency translation — The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date, with the related translation adjustments reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the reporting period. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Avnet subsidiaries that are party to the transactions are remeasured at exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date or upon settlement of the transaction. Gains and losses from such remeasurements are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of “Other expense, net.”
46
Table of Contents
AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Income taxes — The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax impact of differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized within income tax expense in the period in which the new tax rate is enacted. Based upon historical and estimated levels of future taxable income and analysis of other key factors, the Company may increase or decrease a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as deemed necessary, to adjust such assets to their estimated net realizable value.
The Company establishes contingent liabilities for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain tax matters. These liabilities are based on management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authorities. Differences between the estimated and actual outcomes of these matters may result in future changes in estimates to such unrecognized tax benefits. Any such changes in estimates may impact the Company’s effective tax rate. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense.
Revenue recognition — Revenue is recognized at the point at which control of the underlying products are transferred to the customer, which includes determining whether products are distinct and separate performance obligations. For electronic component and related product sales, transfer of control to the customer generally occurs upon product shipment, but it may occur at a later date depending on the agreed upon sales terms (such as delivery at the customer's designated location, or when products that are consigned at customer locations are consumed). In limited instances, where products are not in stock and delivery times are critical, product is purchased from the supplier and drop-shipped to the customer. The Company typically takes control of the products when shipped by the supplier and then recognizes revenue when control of the product transfers to the customer. The Company does not have material product warranty obligations, because the assurance type product warranties provided by the component manufacturers are passed through to the Company’s customers.
For contracts related to the specialized manufacture of products for customers with no alternative use and for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment, including a reasonable profit margin, the Company recognizes revenue over time as control of the products transfer through the manufacturing process, which is typically over a few weeks. The contract assets associated with such specialized manufacturing products are not material.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. The Company estimates different forms of variable consideration at the time of sale based on historical experience, current conditions, and contractual obligations. Revenue is recorded net of customer discounts and rebates. When the Company offers the right or has a history of accepting returns of product, historical experience is utilized to establish a liability for the estimate of expected returns and an asset for the right to recover the product expected to be returned. These adjustments are made in the same period as the underlying sales transactions.
The Company considers the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the contract where revenue would be recorded on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified products or services; (ii) the Company has control of inventory and the related inventory risk before the specified products have been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the
47
Table of Contents
AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
customer; and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified products. If a transaction does not meet the Company’s indicators of being a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.
The Company has contracts with certain customers where the Company's performance obligation is to arrange for the products or services to be provided by another party. In these arrangements, as the Company assumes an agency relationship in the transaction, revenue is recognized in the amount of the net fee associated with serving as an agent. These arrangements primarily relate to the sale of electronic component supply chain services or to a lesser extent supplier software services.
Sales tax and other tax amounts collected from customers for remittance to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue. The Company accounts for shipping and handling of product as a fulfillment activity. The Company does not have any payment terms that exceed one year from the point it has satisfied the related performance obligations. Tariffs are included in sales as the company has enforceable rights to additional consideration to cover the cost of tariffs. Other taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the company's revenue producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.
Vendor allowances and consideration —Consideration received from suppliers for price protection, product rebates, sell through incentives, marketing/promotional activities, or any other programs are recorded when earned (under the terms and conditions of such supplier programs) as adjustments to product costs or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending upon the nature and contractual requirements related to the consideration received. Some of these supplier programs require management to make estimates and may extend over multiple periods.
Comprehensive income (loss) — Comprehensive income (loss) represents net income for the year adjusted for certain changes in shareholders’ equity. Accumulated comprehensive income (loss) items impacting comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as net investment hedges, and the impact of the Company’s pension liability adjustments, net of tax.
Stock-based compensation — The Company measures stock-based payments at fair value and generally recognizes the associated operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period. A stock-based payment is considered vested for accounting expense attribution purposes when the employee’s retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing continued service. Accordingly, the Company recognizes all stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to retirement eligible employees over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if less than the stated requisite service period. The expense attribution approach for retirement eligible employees does not affect the overall amount of compensation expense recognized but instead accelerates the recognition of such expense.
Restructuring and exit activities —The determination of when the Company accrues for involuntary termination benefits under restructuring plans depends on whether the termination benefits are provided under an on-going benefit arrangement or under a one-time benefit arrangement. The Company accounts for on-going benefit arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 712 (“ASC 712”) Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits and accounts for one-time benefit arrangements in accordance with ASC 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. If applicable, the Company records such costs into operating expense over the terminated employee’s future service period beyond any minimum retention period. Other costs associated with restructuring or exit activities may include contract
48
Table of Contents
AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
termination costs and impairments of long-lived assets, which are expensed in accordance with ASC 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment, respectively.
Gainon legal settlements — The Company recognizes gains on legal settlements only when such gains are realized or realizable.
Concentration of credit risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in overnight time deposits and institutional money market funds with highly rated financial institutions. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, in some instances, has obtained credit insurance coverage to reduce such risk. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses from customers but has not historically experienced material losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular end market or geographic area.
Fair value — The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value based upon an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, requires inputs used in valuation techniques for measuring fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis be assigned to a hierarchical level as follows: Level 1 are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; Level 2 are observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and, Level 3 are unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. During fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, there were no transfers of assets measured at fair value between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair values at June 27, 2026, due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. At June 27, 2026, and June 28, 2025, the Company had $0.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of cash equivalents that were measured at fair value based upon Level 1 criteria.
Investments — Equity investments in businesses or start-up companies (“ventures”) are accounted for using the equity method if the investment provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the ventures. All other equity investments, which consist of investments for which the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence over the ventures, are measured at fair value, using quoted market prices, or at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes when fair value is not readily determinable. Investments in ventures are included in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value, including impairments for investments in ventures, if any, are recorded in “Other expense, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of June 27, 2026, the Company’s investment in a venture was $25.9 million.
Environmental liabilities — The Company accrues for environmental liabilities when it is probable that obligations have been incurred, and the associated amounts can be reasonably estimated. The Company uses a third-party specialist to assist in appropriately measuring its obligations associated with environmental liabilities. Such liabilities are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change. The Company does not discount its environmental liabilities as the timing of the anticipated cash payments is not fixed or readily determinable. The Company’s estimate of its potential liability is independent of any potential recovery of insurance proceeds or indemnification arrangements and the Company’s environmental liabilities have not been reduced for potential insurance recoveries.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements — In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments (“ASU No. 2024-04”), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company early adopted this accounting standard at the beginning of fiscal 2026, which had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Tax Disclosures (“ASU No. 2023-09”), which updates income tax disclosures related to the effective income tax rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 on a prospective basis, which expanded its disclosures on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 9 “Income taxes.”
2. Derivative financial instruments
Many of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies, which subjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates. This foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase from suppliers. The Company’s transactions are denominated primarily in the following currencies: U.S. Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Taiwan Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and Mexican Peso. The Company also, to a lesser extent, has foreign operations transactions in other EMEA and Asian foreign currencies.
The Company uses economic hedges to reduce this risk utilizing natural hedging (i.e., offsetting receivables and payables in the same foreign currency) and creating offsetting positions using derivative financial instruments (primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts typically with maturities of less than 60 days, but no longer than one year). The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks to the extent they are not economically hedged. The fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is based on Level 2 criteria under the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. The Company’s master netting and other similar arrangements with various financial institutions related to derivative financial instruments allow for the right of offset. The Company’s policy is to present derivative financial instruments with the same counterparty as either a net asset or liability when the right of offset exists. Under the Company’s economic hedging policies, gains and losses on the derivative financial instruments are classified within the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations as the remeasurement of the underlying assets or liabilities being economically hedged.
The Company has a fixed-to-fixed rate cross currency swap (the “cross-currency swap”) with a notional amount of $500.0 million, or €472.6 million, that is set to mature in March 2028. The Company designated this derivative contract as a net investment hedge of its European operations and elected the spot method for measuring hedge effectiveness. Changes in fair value of the cross-currency swap is presented in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts related to the cross-currency swap recognized directly in net income represent net periodic interest settlements and accruals, which are recognized in “Interest and other financing expenses, net,” on the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the cross-currency swaps is based on Level 2 criteria under the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

Inventories
The Company’s inventories are primarily comprised of electronic components purchased from the Company’s suppliers, which are available for sale to customers in the normal course of the Company’s electronic component distribution business.
Classified within inventories are electronic components held for supply chain service engagements (components) where the Company is acting as an agent on behalf of a customer or in some cases the component supplier. Given that these supply chain services involve purchasing, warehousing and providing logistics services for components as part of the services, the Company classifies the underlying components within inventories on the consolidated balance sheets. Components held for supply chain services where the Company is acting as an agent represented approximately 7% and 6% of inventories as of June 27, 2026, and June 28, 2025, respectively.

Interest Rate Carrying Balance
Accounts receivable securitization program 4.49 % — $ 500,000 —
Term loan - current portion 4.07 % — 89,806 —
The Company has a trade accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Program”) in the United States with a group of financial institutions, which is due in December 2026. The Securitization Program allows the Company to transfer, on an ongoing revolving basis, an undivided interest in a designated pool of trade accounts receivable, to provide security or collateral for borrowings of up to $500.0 million. The Securitization Program does not qualify for off balance sheet accounting treatment and any borrowings under the Securitization Program are recorded as debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Under the Securitization Program, the Company legally sells and isolates certain U.S. trade accounts receivable into a wholly owned and consolidated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded within “Receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $1.23 billion and $813.9 million at June 27, 2026, and June 28, 2025, respectively. The Securitization Program contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold. There were $500.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Securitization Program as of June 27, 2026, and as of June 28, 2025.
In July 2026, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2026, the Company amended and extended its Securitization Program for two years. The Amendment increased the maximum purchase limit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement from $500.0 million to $700.0 million, extended the facility termination date to July 1, 2028, and excluded certain receivables from the agreement. Other terms of the agreement remained substantially unchanged.
Other short-term debt consists of various committed and uncommitted lines of credit and other forms of bank debt with financial institutions utilized primarily to support the ongoing working capital requirements of the Company, including its foreign operations. The available unused capacity under the uncommitted lines of credit available to the Company and its subsidiaries was approximately $325.0 million as of June 27, 2026, and June 28, 2025.

In April 2026, the Company amended its five-year syndicated revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and exercised the accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit limit increased by $250 million to a limit of $1.75 billion. Under the Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies, and maturities, may issue up to $200.0 million of letters of credit and borrow up to $300.0 million of loans in certain approved currencies. The Credit Facility contains certain covenants including various limitations on debt incurrence, share repurchases, dividends, investments, and capital expenditures. The Credit Facility also includes a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a leverage ratio below a certain threshold, which the Company was in compliance with as of June 27, 2026. At June 27, 2026, and June 28, 2025, there were $0.8 million in letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility matures in January 2030.
On August 28, 2025, the Company amended its Credit Facility through September 2026 to temporarily raise the maximum permitted leverage ratio. The amendment also restricts the Company's ability to make certain payments including the repurchase of shares in excess of $100 million worth of its common stock, which was reached in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes.
In April 2026, the Company repaid the $550 million 4.63% Notes due April 2026 with available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.
In July 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“2025 Term Loan”) for approximately $266.5 million that matures in approximately equal annual installments over three years. The Term Loan bears a blended variable interest rate between tranches denominated in USD and EUR.
In August 2026, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2026, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“2026 Term Loan”) for $375 million. The loan is priced at a variable interest rate and matures in July 2028.

In September 2025, the Company issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes were approximately $633.8 million.
The Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum. Before June 1, 2030, noteholders will have the right to convert their Convertible Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events, including but not limited to, the Company’s common stock trading above approximately $91 per share for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the market value of the Convertible Notes trading below 98% of the product of the trading price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for a specific period, and certain fundamental changes to the Company’s corporate structure. The initial conversion price is approximately $70.27 per share of common stock.
The Company may redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at the Company’s option, on or after September 8, 2028, if the sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least approximately $91 per common share for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading-day period.
Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company must satisfy the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted in cash. For any conversion obligation exceeding the aggregate principal amount, the Company may, at its discretion, settle the remainder through cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof.

At June 27, 2026, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s total debt was $3.21 billion and $3.46 billion, respectively. At June 28, 2025, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s total debt was $2.66 billion and $2.65 billion, respectively. Fair value for public notes including convertible notes was estimated based on quoted market prices (Level 1) and, for other forms of debt, fair value approximates carrying value due to the market based variable nature of the interest rates on those debt facilities (Level 2).
