PART I

ITEM 1. Business.

In this report, we use the terms "Tech Data,” "we," "our," "us" or the “Company” to refer to Tech Data Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.



OVERVIEW

Tech Data Corporation is one of the world’s largest IT distribution and solutions companies. We serve a critical role in the center of the IT ecosystem, bringing products from the world's leading technology vendors to market, as well as helping customers create solutions best suited to maximize business outcomes for their end-user customers. Our customers include value-added resellers (“VARs”), direct marketers, retailers, corporate resellers and managed service providers ("MSPs") who support the diverse technology needs of end users.

Tech Data was incorporated in 1974 to market data processing supplies to end users of mini and mainframe computers. With the advent of microcomputer dealers, we made the transition to a wholesale technology distributor in 1983 by broadening our product line to include personal computer products and withdrawing entirely from end-user sales. We went public with the initial public offering of Tech Data’s stock in 1986 on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange.

From fiscal 1989 through fiscal 2008, we expanded geographically through the acquisition of several distribution companies in the Americas and Europe, strengthening our position in certain product and customer segments. From fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2017, we continued to expand geographically, and to further diversify our products and solutions portfolio through organic investments and acquisitions, primarily focused on the data center, mobility, and software product categories.

On February 27, 2017, we acquired all the outstanding shares of Avnet, Inc.'s ("Avnet") Technology Solutions business ("TS") for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.8 billion, comprised of approximately $2.5 billion in cash and 2,785,402 shares of Tech Data common stock. TS delivered data center hardware and software solutions and services and the TS acquisition strengthened our end-to-end solutions portfolio and deepened our value added capabilities in the data center and next-generation technologies. The total cash consideration payable to Avnet was subject to certain working capital and other adjustments, as determined through the process established in the interest purchase agreement. In August 2018, we executed a settlement agreement with Avnet, resulting in a final working capital adjustment of $120 million, which was paid to Avnet during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 (see further discussion in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).



VENDORS AND CUSTOMERS

Our value proposition to our vendors:


•	Access to highly fragmented markets - We provide our vendors access to large and highly fragmented markets such as the small- and medium-sized business (“SMB”) sector, which relies on VARs, our primary customer base, to gain access to and support for new technology.


•	Variable-cost route to market - We serve as a variable, cost effective route to market for our vendors by providing them with access to resellers throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.


•	Logistics management - Our world class logistics capabilities enable us to efficiently bring technology products to market through one of our 22 strategically located logistics centers, by direct shipment from vendors to customers, or virtually through our Tech Data cloud marketplace.


•	Services - We provide a comprehensive portfolio of services to our vendors, including integration services, supply chain management services, and field, depot and support services, such as field engineering, equipment installation, maintenance, repair and many others.

We distribute and market hundreds of thousands of products from over 1,000 of the world’s leading technology hardware manufacturers and software publishers, as well as suppliers of next-generation technologies and delivery models such as converged and hyper-converged infrastructure, the cloud, security, analytics/Internet of things ("IoT"), and services. These products are typically purchased directly from the vendor on a non-exclusive basis. Conversely, our vendor agreements do not restrict us from selling similar products manufactured by competitors, nor do they require us to sell a specified quantity of product. As a result, we have the flexibility to terminate or curtail sales of one product line in favor of another due to technological change, pricing considerations, product availability, and customer demand or vendor distribution policies. Overall, we believe that our diversified and evolving product and solutions portfolio provides a solid platform for continued growth.

Table of Contents

The following table provides a comparison of sales generated from products purchased from vendors that exceeded 10% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 (as a percent of consolidated net sales):



	2019	2018	2017
Apple, Inc.	16%	17%	21%
HP Inc.	11%	11%	14%
Cisco Systems, Inc.	11%	11%	10%

Our value proposition to our customers:


•	End-to-end solutions - We help our customers create comprehensive, multi-vendor solutions from the world's leading technology vendors in order to maximize business outcomes for their end-user customers.


•	Logistics management - Our robust order and logistics management systems enable us to fulfill customer orders quickly and efficiently through one of our 22 strategically located logistics centers, by direct shipment from the vendor, or virtually through our Tech Data cloud marketplace.


•	Financing and inventory management - We provide our customers with access to flexible financing programs and inventory management for the technology products, services and solutions they acquire.


•	Training and technical support - We provide our reseller customers a high level of training and technical support.


•	Services - We provide our customers with complete customer management solutions, including customer acquisition, enablement and revenue-growth services, such as contract renewals and software license compliance, as well as product configuration/integration services. In addition, we provide our resellers access to a number of special promotions and marketing services on behalf of our vendors.

We serve one of the largest bases of resellers throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Our products are purchased directly from vendors in significant quantities and are marketed to an active reseller base of over 125,000 VARs, direct marketers, retailers, corporate resellers and MSPs. Our VAR customers, in many cases, rely on Tech Data as their principal source of technology products and the related financing for the products. VARs typically prefer not to invest the resources to establish a large number of direct purchasing relationships with vendors or stock significant product inventories. Direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers may establish direct relationships with vendors for their highest volume products, but utilize distributors as the primary source for other product requirements and an alternative source for products acquired directly. Our customers rely on our expertise and resources to gain vital insights into emerging technologies and to help them capture growth opportunities in a rapidly changing technology landscape. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our net sales during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017.

OUR STRATEGY

We believe technology is changing faster today than at any other point in our company’s history. Digital transformation is reshaping our industry, not only enabling businesses and consumers to engage in more ways than ever before, but changing the way technology is acquired and deployed. Because of this, hybrid models of IT delivery and consumption are emerging, as workloads shift across technology platforms and hardware and software-based solutions become increasingly combined. End-users are demanding solutions that drive business outcomes, and these solutions are end-to-end containing multiple products and software solutions from multiple vendors. As a result, customers are seeking greater integration of products, services and solutions that tie technologies together. Therefore, we believe an IT distribution and solutions company must be end-to-end, with deep capabilities across the computing continuum to manage the increasingly complex IT ecosystem and deliver the solutions and business outcomes the market desires. Our vision for the future is to be the vital link in the IT ecosystem that enables channel partners to bring to market the technology solutions the world needs to connect, learn and advance.

To achieve our vision, we have identified five key elements that we believe define an IT distribution and solutions company:


•	Global Footprint with Local Execution - Global footprint that ensures we can support our channel partners around the world, with the local knowledge it takes to be successful.


•	End-to-End Portfolio - An end-to-end portfolio of products, services and solutions to enable channel partners to create the best business outcomes for their customers.


•	Specialized Skills - Extensive solutions-oriented technical capabilities and deep domain knowledge that span the IT continuum, with the ability to deploy them within specific customer verticals.


•	World-Class IT Systems - A common IT platform that ensures consistent global execution and delivers efficiency and speed for a superior customer experience.


•	Financial Strength - Financial strength and flexibility to invest in next-generation technologies.

These five key elements are the building blocks to Tech Data’s future and our strategic priorities are directly aligned with each of them. To strengthen our role at the center of the IT ecosystem well into the future, we are moving to higher value, focused on the following strategic priorities:


•	Invest in next-generation technologies and delivery models such as the cloud, security, analytics/IoT, and services.


•	Strengthen our end-to-end portfolio of products, services and solutions.


•	Transform our company digitally through greater automation, which we believe will enhance the customer experience, improve productivity and reduce costs.


•	Optimize our global footprint by enhancing the operational efficiency and effectiveness of our businesses around the world.

We believe our focus on these priorities will enable us to achieve our financial objectives of:


•	Growing faster than the industry in select markets by gaining profitable market share in key geographies within select product categories with leading vendors.


•	Improving operating income by growing gross profit faster than operating costs.


•	Delivering a return on invested capital above our weighted average cost of capital.



PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

To enable a specialized approach to the market while maintaining the exceptional service levels that channel partners expect from us, we group our offerings into two primary solutions portfolios:

Endpoint Solutions Portfolio:


•	Our Endpoint Solutions portfolio primarily includes PC systems, mobile phones and accessories, printers, peripherals, supplies, endpoint technology software and consumer electronics.

Advanced Solutions Portfolio:


•	Our Advanced Solutions portfolio primarily includes data center technologies such as storage, networking, servers, advanced technology software and converged and hyper-converged infrastructure. Our Advanced Solutions portfolio also includes our specialized solution businesses.

Our next-generation technology solutions, along with our services offerings, span our Endpoint and Advanced Solutions portfolios.

SALES AND ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

Our sales team consists of field sales and inside sales representatives. Our sales representatives receive comprehensive training on our policies, procedures and the technical specifications of products, and attend additional training offered by our vendors. Field sales representatives are typically located in major metropolitan areas in their respective geographies and are supported by inside telemarketing sales teams covering a designated territory. Our team concept provides a strong personal relationship between us and our customers, who typically call our inside sales teams on dedicated telephone numbers or contact us through various electronic methods to place orders. If the product is in stock and the customer has available credit, customer orders are generally shipped the same day from the logistics center nearest the customer or the intended end user.

Customers often utilize our electronic ordering and information systems. Through our e-commerce website, customers can gain remote access to our information systems to place orders, or check order status, inventory availability and pricing. Certain larger customers have electronic data interchange ("EDI") services available whereby orders, order acknowledgments, invoices, inventory status reports, customized pricing information and other industry standard EDI transactions are generated online, which improves efficiency and timeliness for us and our customers.

We realize improved productivity, cost savings, and enhanced customer experience through automation and digitization, and we will continue to invest in and improve our digital ordering and information systems.



COMPETITION

We operate in a market characterized by intense competition, based on such factors as product availability, credit terms and availability, price, speed of delivery, effectiveness of information systems and e-commerce tools, ability to tailor solutions to customers' needs, quality and depth of product lines and training, as well as service and support provided by the distributor to the customer. We believe we are well equipped to compete effectively with other distributors in all of these areas.

We compete against several distributors in the Americas market, including Ingram Micro Inc. ("Ingram Micro"), Synnex Corp. ("Synnex"), and Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow”), along with some regional and local distributors. The competitive environment in Europe is more fragmented, with market share spread among several regional and local competitors such as ALSO Holding and Esprinet, as well as international distributors such as Ingram Micro, Westcon Group, Inc., and Arrow.

We also face competition from companies entering or expanding into the logistics and product fulfillment and e-commerce supply chain services market. Additionally, certain direct sales relationships between manufacturers, resellers and end-users continue to introduce change into the competitive landscape of our industry. As we expand our business into new areas, we may face increased competition from other distributors as well as vendors. However, we believe vendors will continue to sell their products through distributors such as Tech Data, due to our ability to provide them with access to our broad customer base and serve them in a highly cost-effective and efficient manner. Our logistics management capabilities, as well as our sales and marketing, credit and product management expertise, allow our vendors to expand their market coverage while lowering their selling, inventory and fulfillment costs.



EMPLOYEES

On January 31, 2019, we had over 14,000 employees (as measured on a full-time equivalent basis) in more than forty countries on five continents. Certain of our employees in various countries outside of the United States are subject to laws providing representation rights to employees through workers' councils. Our success depends on the talent and dedication of our employees and we strive to attract, hire, develop and retain outstanding employees. We believe significant benefits are realized from having a strong and seasoned management team with many years of experience in technology distribution and related industries. We consider relations with our employees to be good.



FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES

We sell to customers in more than 100 countries throughout North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. Over the past several years, we have expanded our presence in certain existing markets and exited certain markets based upon our assessment of, among other factors, our earnings potential and the risk exposure in those markets, including foreign currency exchange, regulatory and political risks. To the extent we decide to close any of our operations, we may incur charges and operating losses related to such closures and recognize a portion of our accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with such a disposition. For information on our net sales, operating income and identifiable assets by geographic region, see Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents



SEASONALITY

Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of currency fluctuations and seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services we sell. Narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of these factors on our quarterly operating results. Historical seasonal variations have included an increase in European demand during our fiscal fourth quarter and decreased demand in other fiscal quarters. The seasonal trend in Europe typically results in greater operating leverage, and therefore, lower SG&A as a percentage of net sales in the region and on a consolidated basis during the second half of our fiscal year, particularly in our fourth quarter.



ASSET MANAGEMENT

We manage our inventories in a manner that allows us to maintain sufficient quantities to achieve high order fill rates while attempting to stock only those products in high demand that have a rapid turnover rate. Our business, like that of other distributors, is subject to the risk that the value of inventory will be impacted adversely by suppliers’ price reductions or by technological changes affecting the usefulness or desirability of the products comprising the inventory. Our contracts with many of our vendors provide price protection and stock rotation privileges to reduce the risk of loss due to manufacturer price reductions and slow moving or obsolete inventory. In the event of a vendor price reduction, we generally receive a credit for the impact on products in inventory and we have the right to rotate a certain percentage of purchases, subject to certain limitations. Historically, price protection and stock rotation privileges, as well as our inventory management procedures, have helped reduce the risk of loss of inventory value.

We attempt to control losses on credit sales by closely monitoring customers’ creditworthiness through our IT systems, which contain detailed information on each customer’s payment history and other relevant information. In certain countries, we have obtained credit insurance that insures a percentage of the credit extended by us to certain customers against possible loss. The Company also has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities to our customers as an additional approach to mitigate credit risk. Certain of our vendors subsidize these financing arrangements for the benefit of our customers. We also sell products on a prepayment, credit card and cash-on-delivery basis.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial position and results of operations. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Before you buy our common stock or other securities, you should know that making such an investment involves risks, including the risks described below. The risks that have been highlighted below are not the only risks of our business. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock or other securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements are as follows:

Our ability to earn profit is more challenging when sales slow from a down economy as a result of gross profit declining faster than cost reduction efforts taking effect.

Adverse economic conditions may result in lower demand for the products and services we sell. When we experience a rapid decline in demand for products we experience more difficulty in achieving the gross profit and operating profit we desire due to the lower sales and increased pricing pressure. The economic environment may also result in changes in vendor terms and conditions, such as rebates, cash discounts and cooperative marketing efforts, which may also result in downward pressure on our gross profit. As a result, there is pressure to reduce the cost of operations in order to maximize operating profits. To the extent we cannot reduce costs to offset such decline in gross profits, our operating profits typically deteriorate. The benefits from cost reductions may also take longer to fully realize and may not fully mitigate the impact of the reduced demand or changes in vendor terms and conditions. Should we experience a decline in operating profits or not achieve the planned level of growth in operations of previously acquired companies, the valuations we develop for purposes of our goodwill impairment test may be adversely affected, potentially resulting in impairment charges. Deterioration in the financial and credit markets heightens the risk of customer bankruptcies and delays in payment. Future deterioration in the credit markets could result in reduced availability of credit insurance to cover customer accounts. This, in turn, may result in our reducing the credit lines we provide to customers, thereby having a negative impact on our net sales, gross profits and net income.

Our competitors can take more market share by reducing prices on vendor products that contribute the most to our profitability.

The technology distribution industry is characterized by intense competition, based primarily on product availability, credit terms and availability, price, effectiveness of information systems and e-commerce tools, speed of delivery, ability to tailor specific solutions to customer needs, quality and depth of product lines and training, service and support. Our customers are not required to purchase any specific volume of products from us and may move business if pricing is reduced by competitors, resulting in lower sales. As a result, we must be extremely flexible in determining when to reduce prices to maintain market share and sales volumes and when to allow our sales volumes to decline to maintain the quality of our profitability. We compete with a variety of regional, national and international wholesale distributors, some of which may have greater financial resources than us.

We are dependent on internal information and telecommunications systems, and any failure of these systems, including system security breaches, data protection breaches or other cybersecurity attacks, may negatively impact our business and results of operations.

Cyber-attacks and other tactics designed to gain access to and exploit sensitive information by breaching mission critical systems of large organizations are constantly evolving and have been increasing in sophistication in recent years. High profile security breaches leading to unauthorized release of sensitive information have occurred with increasing frequency at a number of major U.S. companies, despite widespread recognition of the cyber-attack threat and improved data protection methods. In addition, regulations related to data protection, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) which took effect in May 2018, create a range of new compliance obligations for the Company. While to date we have not experienced a significant data loss, significant compromise or any material financial losses related to cybersecurity attacks, our systems, those of our customers, and those of our third-party service providers are under constant threat. Cybercrime, including phishing, social engineering, attempts to overload our servers with denial-of-service attacks, or similar disruptions from unauthorized access to our systems, could cause us critical data loss or the disclosure or use of personal or other confidential information. Outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees to disclose personally identifiable information or other confidential information which could expose us to a risk of loss or misuse of this information.

We are dependent on internal information and telecommunications systems, and we are vulnerable to failure of these systems, including through system security breaches, data protection breaches or other cybersecurity attacks. If these events occur, the unauthorized disclosure, loss or unavailability of data and disruption to our business may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and harm our relationships with vendors and customers. Additionally, these events may lead to financial losses from remedial actions, or potential liability from fines, including in relation to noncompliance with the GDPR, as well as possible litigation and punitive damages. Failures of our internal information or telecommunications systems may prevent us from taking customer orders, shipping products and billing customers. Sales may also be impacted if our customers are unable to access our pricing and product availability information. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to ship products if our third party shipping companies cease operations temporarily or permanently.

We rely on arrangements with independent shipping companies for the delivery of our products from vendors and to customers. The failure or inability of these shipping companies to deliver products or the unavailability of their shipping services, even temporarily, may have an adverse effect on our business and our operating results.

Natural disasters may negatively impact our business and results of operations.

Certain of our facilities, including our corporate headquarters in Clearwater, Florida, are located in geographic areas that heighten our exposure to hurricanes, tropical storms and other severe weather events. Future weather events could cause severe damage to our property and technology and could cause major disruptions to our operations. We carry property damage and business interruption insurance; however, there can be no assurance that such insurance would be adequate to cover any losses we may incur. As such, a hurricane, tropical storm or severe weather event may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

If our vendors do not continue to provide price protection for inventory we purchase from them, our profit from the sale of that inventory may decline.

It is very typical in our industry that the value of inventory will decline as a result of price reductions by vendors or technological obsolescence. It is the policy of many of our vendors to protect distributors from the loss in value of inventory due to technological change or the vendors' price reductions. Some vendors, however, may be unwilling or unable to pay us for price protection claims or products returned to them under purchase agreements. Moreover, industry practices are sometimes not embodied in written agreements and do not protect us in all cases from declines in inventory value. No assurance can be given that such practices to protect distributors will continue, that unforeseen new product developments will not adversely affect us or that we will be able to successfully manage our existing and future inventories.

Failure to obtain adequate product supplies from our largest vendors, or terminations of a supply or services agreement, or a significant change in vendor terms or conditions of sale by our largest vendors may negatively affect our financial condition or results of operations.

A significant percentage of our revenues are from products we purchase from certain vendors, such as Apple, Inc., HP Inc. and Cisco Systems, Inc. These vendors have significant negotiating power over us and rapid, significant or adverse changes in sales terms and conditions, such as reducing the amount of price protection and return rights as well as reducing the level of purchase discounts and rebates they make available to us, may reduce the profit we can earn on these vendors' products and result in loss of revenue and profitability. Our gross profit could be negatively impacted if we are unable to pass through the impact of these changes to our customers or cannot develop systems to manage ongoing vendor programs. Additionally, changes in vendor payment terms could negatively impact our financial condition. Our standard vendor distribution agreement permits termination without cause by either party upon 30 days notice. The loss of a relationship with any of our key vendors, a change in their strategy (such as increasing direct sales), the merger or reorganization of significant vendors or significant changes in terms on their products may adversely affect our business.

We conduct business in countries outside of the U.S., which exposes us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that result in losses in certain periods.

Approximately 61%, 62% and 65% of our net sales in fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 were generated in countries outside of the U.S., which exposes us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into short-term forward exchange or option contracts to hedge this risk. Nevertheless, volatile foreign currency exchange rates increase our risk of loss related to products purchased in a currency other than the currency in which those products are sold. While we maintain policies to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, extreme fluctuations have resulted in our incurring losses in some countries. Furthermore, our local competitors in certain markets may have different purchasing models that provide them reduced foreign currency exposure compared to us. This may result in market pricing that we cannot meet without significantly lower profit on sales. In addition, we may be exposed to foreign exchange risk that may occur as a result of the United Kingdom's (“U.K.”) potential withdrawal from the European Union, commonly referred to as "Brexit". Brexit may adversely affect global economic and market conditions and could contribute to volatility in the foreign exchange markets, which we may be unable to effectively manage through our foreign exchange risk management program.

The translation of the financial statements of foreign operations into U.S. dollars is also impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may positively or negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, the value of our equity investment in foreign countries may fluctuate based upon changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These fluctuations, which are recorded in a cumulative translation adjustment account, may result in losses in the event a foreign subsidiary is sold or closed at a time when the foreign currency is weaker than when we made investments in the country. The realization of any or all of these risks could have a significant adverse effect on our financial results.

Table of Contents

We have international operations which expose us to risks associated with conducting business in multiple jurisdictions.

Our international operations are subject to other risks such as the imposition of governmental controls, export license requirements, restrictions on the export of certain technology, political instability, trade restrictions, tariff changes, uncertainty surrounding the implementation and effects of Brexit, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, longer collection periods, the impact of local economic conditions and practices, uncertainties arising from local business practices and cultural considerations, and enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or similar laws of other jurisdictions. Recently, the U.S. government imposed tariffs on certain products imported into the U.S. and the Chinese government imposed tariffs on certain products imported into China, which have increased the prices of many of the products that the company purchases from its suppliers. The new tariffs, along with any additional tariffs or trade restrictions that may be implemented by the U.S. or other countries, could result in further increased prices. While the company intends to pass price increases on to our customers, the effect of tariffs on prices may impact sales and results of operations. There can be no assurance that these and other factors will not have an adverse effect on our business.

Changes in tax laws or tax rulings in the jurisdictions in which we operate may materially impact our financial position and results of operations. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has been working on the Base Erosion and Profit Sharing Project, and has issued and will continue to issue, guidelines and proposals that may change various aspects of the existing framework under which our tax obligations are determined in many of the countries in which we do business. Certain countries are evaluating their tax policies and regulations, which could affect international business and may have an adverse effect on our overall tax rate, along with increasing the complexity, burden and cost of tax compliance. For example, on December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”) which significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a modified territorial tax system that includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion). Additional changes in the U.S. tax regime or in how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings, including changes in how existing tax laws are interpreted or enforced, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, while our labor force in the U.S. is currently non-union, employees of certain other subsidiaries are subject to collective bargaining or similar arrangements. We do business in certain foreign countries where labor disruption is more common than is experienced in the U.S. and some of the freight carriers we use are unionized. A labor strike by a group of our employees, one of our freight carriers, one of our vendors, a general strike by civil service employees or a governmental shutdown could have an adverse effect on our business. Many of the products we sell are manufactured in countries other than the countries in which our logistics centers are located. The inability to receive products into the logistics centers because of government action or labor disputes at critical ports of entry may have an adverse effect on our business.

Table of Contents

We have incurred substantial indebtedness that may impact our financial position and subject us to financial and operating restrictions, decrease our access to capital, and / or increase our borrowing costs, which may adversely affect our operations and financial results.

Our business requires substantial capital to operate and to finance accounts receivable and product inventory that are not financed by trade creditors. We have historically relied upon cash generated from operations, bank credit lines, trade credit from vendors, accounts receivable purchase agreements, proceeds from public offerings of our common stock and proceeds from debt offerings to satisfy our capital needs and to finance growth. The incurrence of debt under our Senior Notes and other credit facilities subject us to financial and operating covenants, which may limit our ability to borrow and our flexibility in responding to our business needs.

As of January 31, 2019, we had approximately $1.4 billion of total debt. If we are not able to maintain compliance with stated financial covenants or if we breach other covenants in any debt agreement, we could be in default under such agreement. Such a default may allow our creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross acceleration or cross-default provision applies. Our overall leverage and terms of our financing could, among other things:


•	limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or for general corporate purposes;


•	make it more difficult to satisfy our obligations under the terms of our debt;


•	limit our ability to refinance our debt on terms acceptable to us or at all;


•	make it more difficult to obtain trade credit from vendors;


•	limit our flexibility to plan for and adjust to changing business and market conditions and repurchase shares of our common stock; and


•	increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions.

Changes in our credit rating or other market factors may increase our interest expense or other costs of capital.

Certain of our financing instruments involve variable rate debt, thus exposing us to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, the interest rate payable on the 3.70% Senior Notes and the 4.95% Senior Notes (each as defined herein) and certain other credit facilities would be subject to adjustment from time to time if our credit rating is downgraded. The U. K.’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”), which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Plans for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced. At this time, we cannot predict how markets will respond to these proposed alternative rates or the effect of any changes to LIBOR or the discontinuation of LIBOR. If LIBOR is no longer available or if our lenders have increased costs due to changes in LIBOR, we may experience potential increases in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which could adversely impact our interest expense, results of operations and cash flows.

We cannot predict what losses we might incur in litigation matters, regulatory enforcement actions and contingencies that we may be involved with from time to time.

We cannot predict what losses we might incur from litigation matters, regulatory enforcement actions and contingencies that we may be involved with from time to time. There are various other claims, lawsuits and pending actions against us. We do not expect that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, the resolution of certain of these matters could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period. We can make no assurances that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of any of these matters.

ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Not applicable.

ITEM 2. Properties.

Our executive offices are located in Clearwater, Florida. As of January 31, 2019, we operated a total of 22 logistics centers and a number of smaller stocking locations to provide our customers timely delivery of products. These logistic centers are located in the following principal markets: The Americas - 10, Europe - 10, and Asia-Pacific - 2.

As of January 31, 2019, we leased or owned approximately 9.0 million square feet of space. We own approximately 2.6 million square feet of our facilities in the Americas and lease the majority of our facilities and office space in other regions. Our facilities are well maintained and are adequate to conduct our current business. We do not anticipate significant difficulty in renewing our leases as they expire or securing replacement facilities.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.

Prior to fiscal 2004, one of our subsidiaries, located in Spain, was audited in relation to various value added tax (“VAT”) matters and received notices of assessment related to fiscal years 1994 through 2001 that alleged the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. The Spanish subsidiary appealed these assessments beginning in March 2010. The matters related to fiscal years 1996 through 2001 were resolved during fiscal 2016. During fiscal 2017, the Spanish National Appellate Court issued an opinion upholding the assessments for fiscal years 1994 and 1995. We appealed this opinion to the Spanish Supreme Court, however, certain of the amounts assessed were not eligible to be appealed to the Spanish Supreme Court. As a result, we increased our accrual for costs associated with this matter by $2.6 million during fiscal 2017, including $1.5 million recorded in "value added tax assessments" and $1.1 million recorded in "interest expense" in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

During fiscal 2018, the Spanish Supreme Court issued a decision upholding the assessment for fiscal years 1994 and 1995. As a result, we increased our accrual for costs associated with this matter by $2.1 million, including $1.2 million recorded in "value added tax assessments" and $0.9 million recorded in "interest expense" in the Consolidated Statement of Income. As of January 31, 2018, we had recorded a liability of approximately $10.7 million for the entire amount of the remaining assessments, including various penalties and interest. During fiscal 2019, we paid the assessed amounts and recorded a benefit in interest expense of $0.9 million to adjust our accrual for estimated interest costs to the final assessed amount.

In December 2010, in a non-unanimous decision, a Brazilian appellate court overturned a 2003 trial court which had previously ruled in favor of our Brazilian subsidiary related to the imposition of certain taxes on payments abroad related to the licensing of commercial software products, commonly referred to as “CIDE tax”. We estimate the total exposure related to CIDE tax, including interest, was approximately $20.4 million at January 31, 2019. The Brazilian subsidiary has appealed the unfavorable ruling to the Supreme Court and Superior Court, Brazil's two highest appellate courts. Based on the legal opinion of outside counsel, we believe that the chances of success on appeal of this matter are favorable and the Brazilian subsidiary intends to vigorously defend its position that the CIDE tax is not due. Accordingly, we have not recorded an accrual for the total estimated CIDE tax exposure. However, due to the lack of predictability of the Brazilian court system, we have concluded that it is reasonably possible that the Brazilian subsidiary may incur a loss up to the total exposure described above. We believe the resolution of this litigation will not be material to our consolidated net assets or liquidity.

In June 2013, we were the subject of a document seizure by the French Autorité de la Concurrence (Competition Authority), following allegations of anticompetitive distribution practices in the French market for the products of one of our suppliers. In October 2018, the Competition Authority delivered a notification des griefs (statement of objections) to the Company, stating that the Competition Authority is pursuing charges against the Company in this matter. The Competition Authority has taken similar action against our supplier and another of its distributors. At this time, we cannot determine the likelihood of loss or reasonably estimate the range of any loss arising from this proceeding.

We are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management does not expect that the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

OVERVIEW

Tech Data is one of the world’s largest IT distribution and solutions companies. Tech Data serves a critical role in the center of the IT ecosystem, bringing products from the world's leading technology vendors to market, as well as helping our customers create solutions best suited to maximize business outcomes for their end-user customers. Our customers include value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers, corporate resellers and managed service providers who support the diverse technology needs of end users.

On February 27, 2017, we acquired Avnet, Inc's. (“Avnet”) Technology Solutions business ("TS"). TS delivered data center hardware and software solutions and services and the TS acquisition strengthened our end-to-end solutions and deepened our value added capabilities in the data center and next-generation technologies. We acquired TS for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.8 billion, comprised of approximately $2.5 billion in cash and 2,785,402 shares of the Company's common stock. In August 2018, we entered into a settlement agreement with Avnet to finalize the TS purchase price (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion), which resulted in the recognition of a gain of $9.6 million during the year ended January 31, 2019. Additionally, as part of the settlement agreement, we reached agreement with Avnet on the final geographic allocation of the purchase price for tax reporting purposes which resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset in the United States ("U.S.") for future tax deductions related to the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes. The recognition of the deferred tax asset in the U.S. resulted in an income tax benefit of $13.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019.

Due to the timing of the completion of the TS acquisition, the results of operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 include an additional month of TS operations, as compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018, which impacts comparability between periods.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("U.S. Tax Reform") which significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a modified territorial tax system that includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. In fiscal 2018, we recorded income tax expenses of $95.4 million, which represented our reasonable estimate of the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform. The amounts recorded include income tax expenses of $101.1 million for the one-time transition tax and a net income tax benefit of $5.7 million related to the remeasurement of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, we finalized our analysis of the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform and decreased our estimate of the one-time transition tax by $49.2 million, primarily due to further analysis of earnings and profits of our foreign subsidiaries and the utilization of foreign tax credits (see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).



RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective February 1, 2018, we adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the discussion on recent accounting pronouncements, including the impacts of the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard.

Table of Contents



NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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. Certain of these measures are presented as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as “impact of changes in foreign currencies”). Removing the impact of the changes in foreign currencies provides a framework for assessing our financial performance as compared to prior periods. The impact of changes in foreign currencies is calculated by using the exchange rates from the prior year comparable period applied to the results of operations for the current period. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document include:


•	Net sales, as adjusted, which is defined as net sales adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies;


•	Gross profit, as adjusted, which is defined as gross profit as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies;


•	Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), as adjusted, which is defined as SG&A as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies;

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to assess and understand our financial performance as compared with results from previous periods. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance against certain operational goals. 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. Additionally, because these non-GAAP measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

2019 - 2018 NET SALES COMMENTARY

AMERICAS


•	The increase in Americas net sales, as adjusted, of approximately $1.7 billion is primarily due to growth in data center products, software products and personal computer systems, including the impact of an additional month of TS operations due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition in the prior year.

EUROPE

•

The increase in Europe net sales, as adjusted, of approximately $1.6 billion is primarily due to growth in data center, software and mobility products, including the impact of an additional month of TS operations due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition in the prior year. The impact of changes in foreign currencies is primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

ASIA-PACIFIC


•	The increase in Asia-Pacific net sales, as adjusted, of $172 million is primarily due to growth in data center products and the impact of an additional month of TS operations due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition in the prior year.

COMMENTARY

2019 - 2018

•

The increase in gross profit, as adjusted, of $130 million is primarily attributable to increased sales volume and the impact of an additional month of TS operations due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition in the prior year. The decrease in our year-over-year gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to the mix of products sold and the impact of a competitive environment.

2018 - 2017


•	The increase in gross profit, as adjusted, of $780 million and the increase in our year-over-year gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily attributable to increased sales volume and changes in product mix, both of which were significantly driven by the acquisition of TS.

OPERATING EXPENSES

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

The following tables provide a comparison of our selling, general and administrative expenses:



Year ended January 31:	2019			2018			$ Change			% Change

SG&A as a percentage of net sales, as reported	4.43		%	4.79		%				(36) bps

The increase in SG&A, as adjusted, of approximately $29 million is primarily due to an additional month of TS operations due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition in the prior year, partially offset by a benefit of approximately $25 million related to the collection of an accounts receivable balance previously considered uncollectible. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales, as reported, of 36 basis points is primarily due to greater operating leverage from our increased sales and a benefit of approximately $25 million related to the collection of an accounts receivable balance previously considered uncollectible.



Year ended January 31:	2018			2017			$ Change			% Change
(in millions)

SG&A as a percentage of net sales, as reported	4.79		%	4.07		%				72 bps

The increase in SG&A, as adjusted, of $602 million is primarily due to increased costs as a result of the acquisition of TS. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales as compared to the prior fiscal year is also primarily due to the acquisition of TS including higher costs incurred to support the more complex, higher margin data center business.

Table of Contents

ACQUISITION, INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses are comprised of costs related to the fiscal 2018 acquisition of TS as well as restructuring costs related to the Global Business Optimization Program which was initiated in fiscal 2019.

Acquisition of TS

Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses related to the acquisition of TS are primarily comprised of restructuring costs, IT related costs, professional services, transaction related costs and other costs. Restructuring costs are comprised of severance and facility exit costs. IT related costs consist primarily of data center and non-ERP application migration and integration costs, as well as, IT related professional services. Professional services are primarily comprised of integration related activities, including professional fees for project management, accounting, tax and other consulting services. Transaction related costs primarily consist of investment banking fees, legal expenses and due diligence costs incurred in connection with the completion of the transaction. Other costs includes payroll related costs including retention, stock compensation, relocation and travel expenses incurred as part of the integration of TS. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, other costs are partially offset by the gain recorded related to the settlement agreement with Avnet (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion). We do not expect to incur additional acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses related to the acquisition of TS.

Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 related to the acquisition of TS are comprised of the following:



Year ended January 31:	2019		2018		2017

Other costs	4.7		20.1		2.6
Total	$	45.4	$	136.3	$	29.0

Global Business Optimization Program

On August 29, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the Global Business Optimization Program (the “GBO Program”) to increase investment in our strategic priorities and implement operational initiatives to drive productivity and enhance profitability. Under the GBO Program, we expect to incur cash charges of approximately $70 million to $80 million, primarily comprised of $40 million to $45 million of charges in Europe and $30 million to $35 million of charges in the Americas. It is anticipated that the majority of these charges will be incurred prior to the end of fiscal 2020. The charges primarily consist of severance costs, and also include professional services and facility exit costs. The GBO Program is expected to result in annual cost savings of $70 million to $80 million over the next two years, of which approximately half is expected to be reinvested to accelerate our strategic priorities.

Restructuring expenses for fiscal 2019 related to the GBO Program are comprised of the following:




Year ended January 31:	2019
(in thousands)
Severance costs	$	26.4
Professional services and facility exit costs	16.1
Total	$	42.5

During fiscal 2019, we recorded restructuring costs related to the GBO Program of $12.1 million in the Americas, $29.0 million in Europe and $1.4 million in Asia-Pacific.

GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we recorded goodwill impairment expense of $47.4 million related to our Asia-Pacific reporting unit (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

Table of Contents

LEGAL SETTLEMENTS AND OTHER, NET

We have been a claimant in proceedings seeking damages primarily from certain manufacturers of LCD flat panel and cathode ray tube displays, as well as reimbursement from insurance providers of certain costs associated with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements and other financial information from fiscal 2009 to 2013. We have reached settlement agreements during the periods presented and have recorded these amounts net of attorney fees and other expenses, in “legal settlements and other, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

GAIN ON DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARY

During fiscal 2019, we executed an agreement to sell certain of our operations in Ireland for a total sales price of approximately $15.3 million. We recorded a gain on sale of $6.7 million, which includes the reclassification of $5.1 million from accumulated other comprehensive income for cumulative translation adjustments associated with our investment in this foreign entity. The operating results of this entity were insignificant relative to the consolidated financial results for all periods presented.

VALUE ADDED TAX ASSESSMENTS

Prior to fiscal 2004, one of our subsidiaries, located in Spain, was audited in relation to various value added tax (“VAT”) matters and received notices of assessment for several fiscal years that allege the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. During fiscal 2017, the Spanish National Appellate Court issued an opinion upholding the assessments for fiscal years 1994 and 1995. We appealed this opinion to the Spanish Supreme Court; however, certain of the amounts assessed for fiscal years 1994 and 1995 were not eligible to be appealed to the Spanish Supreme Court. As a result, during the year ended January 31, 2017, we increased our accrual for the assessments and penalties associated with this matter by $1.5 million. During fiscal 2018, the Spanish Supreme Court issued a decision upholding the assessment for fiscal years 1994 and 1995. As a result, during the year ended January 31, 2018, we increased our accrual for costs related to the assessments and penalties associated with this matter by $1.2 million. During fiscal 2019, we paid the assessed amounts (see Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

2019 - 2018 COMMENTARY

•

The increase in GAAP operating income of $83.7 million as compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily due to an increase in net sales volume, a decrease in acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses and a benefit of approximately $25 million related to the collection of an accounts receivable balance previously considered uncollectible, partially offset by goodwill impairment expense of $47.4 million related to our Asia-Pacific reporting unit and lower gains on legal settlements.


•	The increase in non-GAAP operating income of $105.2 million as compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily due to an increase in net sales volume and a benefit of approximately $25 million related to the collection of an accounts receivable balance previously considered uncollectible.

2018 - 2017 COMMENTARY

•

The increase in GAAP operating income of $118.2 million as compared to the prior fiscal year is due to an increase in net sales and favorable changes in product mix, primarily due to the acquisition of TS, and an increase in gains related to settlement agreements with certain manufacturers of LCD flat panel and cathode ray tube displays. This increase was partially offset by higher acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses and an increase in SG&A due to the acquisition of TS, including an increase in acquisition-related intangible assets amortization expense.


•	The increase in non-GAAP operating income of $263.8 million as compared to the prior fiscal year is due to an increase in net sales and favorable changes in product mix partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, primarily as a result of the TS acquisition.

Percentage of net sales	0.29		%	0.33		%	0.15		%

The decrease in interest expense in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 of $5.5 million is primarily due to $8.3 million of prior year interest expense on $350 million of Senior Notes that matured in September 2017, $4.6 million of costs incurred in the prior year related to a commitment for a bridge loan facility obtained in conjunction with the acquisition of TS, and lower amounts outstanding on the Term Loan Credit Agreement, partially offset by higher average borrowings and interest rates on other credit facilities during the period.

The increase in interest expense in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 of $75.4 million is primarily due to higher interest expense on the Senior Notes of approximately $41 million due to the issuance of $1.0 billion of Senior Notes on January 31, 2017, partially offset by the maturity of $350 million of Senior Notes in September 2017. Additionally, interest expense increased due to approximately $24 million of expenses related to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and higher average borrowings on other credit facilities. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $7 million in costs related to a commitment for a bridge loan facility obtained in September 2016. The commitment for the bridge loan facility was terminated on February 27, 2017 in conjunction with the acquisition of TS.

Other expense (income), net, consists primarily of gains and losses on the investments contained within life insurance policies used to fund our nonqualified deferred compensation plan, interest income, discounts on the sale of accounts receivable and net foreign currency exchange gains and losses on certain financing transactions and the related derivative instruments used to hedge such financing transactions. The change in other expense (income), net, in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 is primarily attributable to lower gains on the investments contained within life insurance policies of $9.0 million and higher discounts on the sale of accounts receivable of $5.9 million. The gains on investments are substantially offset in our payroll costs which are reflected in SG&A as part of operating income.

The change in other expense (income), net, during fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 is primarily attributable to higher gains on the investments contained within life insurance policies of $3.1 million, partially offset by higher discounts on the sale of accounts receivable of $2.9 million.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

2019 - 2018 COMMENTARY

The decrease in both the effective tax rate and the provision for income taxes in fiscal 2019 as compared to fiscal 2018 is primarily due to the impact of the following:


•	In fiscal 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $95.4 million related to our provisional estimate of the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform


•	In fiscal 2019, we finalized our analysis of the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform and decreased our estimate of the one-time transition tax by $49.2 million.


•	In fiscal 2019, we recorded income tax benefits of $13.0 million in relation to the settlement agreement reached with Avnet (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).


•	In fiscal 2019, we recorded income tax benefits of $6.0 million related to changes in deferred tax valuation allowances.


•	The decrease in the U.S. federal income tax rate partially offset by Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provisions due to U.S. Tax Reform.

Additionally, the change in the effective tax rate was impacted by the relative mix of earnings and losses within the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate.

The increase in the effective tax rate of approximately 37 percentage points in fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017 is primarily due to the impact of the following:


•	In fiscal 2018, we recorded income tax expenses of $95.4 million related to the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform.


•	In fiscal 2017, we recorded income tax benefits of $12.5 million related to the reversal of valuation allowances in specific jurisdictions in Europe, which had been recorded in prior fiscal years.


•	In fiscal 2018, we recorded a benefit in income tax expense of $6.5 million related to the reduction of certain liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits recorded for TS at the date of acquisition.


•	The effective tax rates for both fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 were impacted by the relative mix of earnings and losses within the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate.

The increase in the absolute dollar amount of the provision for income taxes in fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017 is primarily due to the impact of U.S. Tax Reform, the reversal of certain valuation allowances in fiscal 2017 and an increase in taxable earnings, partially offset by the reduction of certain liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits recorded for TS at the date of acquisition.

U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”) which significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a modified territorial tax system that includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The SEC provided accounting and reporting guidance that allowed us to report provisional amounts within a measurement period up to one year due to the complexities inherent in adopting the changes. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $95.4 million, which represented our reasonable estimate of the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform. The amounts recorded include income tax expense of $101.1 million for the one-time transition tax and a net income tax benefit of $5.7 million related to the remeasurement of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. During fiscal 2019, we finalized our analysis of the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform and decreased our estimate of the one-time transition tax by $49.2 million, primarily due to further analysis of earnings and profits of our foreign subsidiaries and the utilization of foreign tax credits (see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

Tax Indemnifications

In connection with the acquisition of TS, pursuant to the interest purchase agreement, the Company and Avnet agreed to indemnify each other in relation to certain tax matters. As a result, we have recorded certain indemnification assets and liabilities for expected amounts to be received from and paid to Avnet. During the years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, due to the resolution of certain pre-acquisition tax matters and the expiration of certain statutes of limitation, we recorded benefits in income tax expense of $9.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively. As a result, we recorded expenses of $9.6 million and $6.5 million during the years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which are included in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Income, related to changes in the corresponding indemnification assets and liabilities recorded. The net impact of these items had no impact on our net income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our discussion of liquidity and capital resources includes an analysis of our cash flows and capital structure for all periods presented.

CASH CONVERSION CYCLE

As a distribution company, our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors. An important driver of our operating cash flows is our cash conversion cycle (also referred to as “net cash days”). Our net cash days are defined as days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable plus days of supply on hand in inventory, less days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable. The following tables present the components of our cash conversion cycle, in days, as of January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

The decrease in cash resulting from operating activities in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 is primarily due to favorable changes in working capital in fiscal 2018, including the impacts of changes in payment terms with certain vendors and the acquisition of TS.

The increase in cash resulting from operating activities in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 is primarily due to changes in payment terms with certain vendors, an increase in amounts sold under accounts receivable purchase agreements and the impacts of the acquisition of TS, including changes in working capital as compared to the date of acquisition.

The significant components of our investing and financing cash flow activities are listed below.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DEBT COMPLIANCE

Our debt to total capital ratio was 32% at January 31, 2019. As part of our capital structure and to provide us with significant liquidity, we have a diverse range of financing facilities across our geographic regions with various financial institutions. Also providing us liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balances across our regions which are deposited and/or invested with various financial institutions. We are exposed to risk of loss on funds deposited with these financial institutions; however, we monitor our financing and depository financial institution partners regularly for credit quality. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including our financing facilities and cash resources, as well as cash expected to be provided by operating activities and our ability to issue debt or equity, if necessary, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

At January 31, 2019, we had approximately $799.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $726.0 million was held in our foreign subsidiaries. As discussed above, we currently have sufficient resources, cash flows and liquidity within the U.S. to fund current and expected future working capital requirements. As of January 31, 2019, we have completed our accounting for the tax effects of U.S. Tax Reform including finalizing the accounting related to our indefinite reinvestment assertion. As a result of the transition tax incurred pursuant to U.S. Tax Reform, we were able to repatriate foreign cash, along with the majority of our remaining foreign earnings which have been previously taxed, with minimal additional tax consequences. We plan to continue reinvesting future foreign earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. Any future remittances could be subject to additional foreign withholding tax, U.S. state taxes and certain tax impacts relating to foreign currency exchange effects.

The following is a discussion of our various financing facilities:

Senior notes

In January 2017, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% Senior Notes due February 15, 2022 (the "3.70% Senior Notes") and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due February 15, 2027 (the "4.95% Senior Notes") (collectively the "2017 Senior Notes"). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2017 Senior Notes were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of TS. We pay interest on the 2017 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The interest rate payable on the 2017 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit rating assigned to such series of notes changes. At no point will the interest rate be reduced below the interest rate payable on the notes on the date of the initial issuance or increase more than 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the notes of the series on the date of their initial issuance. The 2017 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

We, at our option, may redeem the 3.70% Senior Notes at any time prior to January 15, 2022 and the 4.95% Senior Notes at any time prior to November 15, 2026, in each case in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2017 Senior Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points for the 3.70% Senior Notes and 40 basis points for the 4.95% Senior Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed up to the date of redemption. We may also redeem the 2017 Senior Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, on or after January 15, 2022 for the 3.70% Senior Notes and November 15, 2026 for the 4.95% Senior Notes, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Senior Notes to be redeemed.

Other credit facilities

We have a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the “Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, provides for (i) a maturity date of November 2, 2021 and (ii) an interest rate on borrowings, facility fees and letter of credit fees based on our non-credit enhanced senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service and Moody’s Investor Service. We pay interest on advances under the Credit Agreement at the applicable LIBOR rate (or similar interbank offered rates depending on currency draw) plus a predetermined margin that is based on our debt rating. Our borrowings under the Credit Agreement vary within the period primarily based on changes in our working capital. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at January 31, 2019 and 2018.

We entered into a term loan credit agreement on November 2, 2016 with a syndicate of banks (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") which provides for the borrowing of (i) a tranche of senior unsecured term loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million and maturing three years after the funding date and (ii) a tranche of senior unsecured term loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million and maturing five years after the funding date. We pay interest on advances under the Term Loan Credit Agreement at a variable rate based on LIBOR (or similar interbank offered rates depending on currency draw) plus a predetermined margin that is based on our debt rating. In connection with the acquisition of TS on February 27, 2017, we borrowed $1.0 billion under our Term Loan Credit Agreement in order to fund a portion of the cash consideration paid to Avnet. The borrowings were comprised of a $250.0 million tranche of three-year senior unsecured term loans (the “2020 Term Loans”) and a $750.0 million tranche of five-year senior unsecured term loans (the “2022 Term Loans”). The 2020 Term Loans were repaid in full during fiscal 2018.

Table of Contents

10.0% per annum of the initial principal amount, with the remaining balance payable on February 27, 2022. We may repay the 2022 Term Loans, at any time in whole or in part, without penalty or premium prior to the maturity date. Quarterly installment payments due under the 2022 Term Loans are reduced by the amount of any prepayments made by us. We made principal payments of $200.0 million and $250.0 million on the 2022 Term Loans during fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. At January 31, 2019, there was $300.0 million outstanding on the 2022 Term Loans at an interest rate of 3.99% and at January 31, 2018 there was $500.0 million outstanding on the 2022 Term Loans at an interest rate of 3.07%.

We also have an agreement with a syndicate of banks (the "Receivables Securitization Program") that allows us to transfer an undivided interest in a designated pool of U.S. accounts receivable, on an ongoing basis, to provide collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $750.0 million. Under this program, we transfer certain U.S. trade receivables into a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled approximately $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, at January 31, 2019 and 2018. As collections reduce accounts receivable balances included in the collateral pool, we may transfer interests in new receivables to bring the amount available to be borrowed up to the maximum. The Receivables Securitization Program has a maturity date of August 8, 2019, and we pay interest on advances at the applicable commercial paper or LIBOR rate plus an agreed-upon margin. Our borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Agreement vary within the period primarily based on changes in our working capital. There were no amounts outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Program at January 31, 2019 and 2018.

In addition to the facilities described above, we have various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $399.5 million at January 31, 2019 to support our operations. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. Our borrowings under these facilities vary within the period primarily based on changes in our working capital. There was $102.3 million outstanding on these facilities at January 31, 2019, at a weighted average interest rate of 8.05%, and there was $119.8 million outstanding at January 31, 2018, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.07%.

At January 31, 2019, we had also issued standby letters of credit of $30.3 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces the Company's borrowing availability under certain of the above-mentioned credit facilities.

Certain of our credit facilities contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock and require compliance with other obligations, warranties and covenants. The financial ratio covenants within these credit facilities include a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. At January 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.

Accounts receivable purchase agreements

We have uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreements under which certain accounts receivable may be sold, without recourse, to third-party financial institutions. Under these programs, we may sell certain accounts receivable in exchange for cash less a discount, as defined in the agreements. Available capacity under these programs, which we use as a source of working capital funding, is dependent on the level of accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions' willingness to purchase such receivables. In addition, certain of these agreements also require that we continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. At January 31, 2019 and 2018, we had a total of $1.1 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable sold to and held by financial institutions under these agreements. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, discount fees recorded under these facilities were $14.9 million, $9.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively, which are included as a component of "other expense (income), net" in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Amounts exclude estimated interest on other committed and uncommitted revolving credit facilities as these facilities are at variable rates of interest.


(2)	Represents our remaining obligation under U.S. Tax Reform to pay the transition tax on certain non-U.S. earnings (see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

Fair value renewal and escalation clauses exist for a substantial portion of the operating leases included above. Purchase orders for the purchase of inventory and other goods and services are not included in the table above. We are not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders typically represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. For the purposes of this table, contractual obligations for purchase of goods or services are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Our purchase orders are based on our current demand expectations and are fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons. We do not have significant non-cancelable agreements for the purchase of inventory or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements for the next three months. We also enter into contracts for outsourced services; however, the obligations under these contracts were not significant and the contracts generally contain clauses allowing for cancellation without significant penalty.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Guarantees

As is customary in the technology industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase product from us, we have arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities for our customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, we have agreements with the finance companies that would require us to repurchase certain inventory, which might be repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. Due to various reasons, including among other items, the lack of information regarding the amount of saleable inventory purchased from us still on hand with the customer at any point in time, our repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by us under these arrangements have been insignificant to date.



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The information included within MD&A is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventory, vendor programs, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred taxes, and contingencies. Our estimates and judgments are based on currently available information, historical results, and other assumptions we believe are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. In estimating the required allowance, we take into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of credit insurance and specifically identified customer risks. Also influencing our estimates are the following: (i) the large number of customers and their dispersion across wide geographic areas; (ii) the fact that no single customer accounts for more than 10% of our net sales; (iii) the value and adequacy of collateral received from customers, if any; (iv) our historical write-off experience; and (v) the current economic environment. If actual customer performance were to deteriorate to an extent not expected by us, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results. Conversely, if actual customer performance were to improve to an extent not expected by us, a reduction in allowances may be required which could have a favorable effect on our consolidated financial results.

Inventory

We value our inventory at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a moving average cost basis. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the net realizable value based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks (such as technological obsolescence and the nature of vendor terms surrounding price protection and product returns), foreign currency fluctuations for foreign-sourced products, and assumptions about future demand. Market conditions or changes in terms and conditions by our vendors that are less favorable than those projected by management may require additional inventory write-downs, which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.

Vendor Programs

We participate in various vendor programs under which the vendor may provide certain incentives such as cooperative advertising allowances, infrastructure funding, more favorable payment terms, early pay discounts and rebate agreements. These programs are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors; however, some of these programs are negotiated on an ad-hoc basis mutually developed with the vendor. Volume rebates and early payment discounts received from vendors are recorded when they are earned as a reduction of inventory and as a reduction of cost of products sold as the related inventory is sold. Vendor incentives for specifically identified cooperative advertising programs and infrastructure funding are recorded when earned as adjustments to cost of products sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the program.

We also provide reserves for receivables on vendor programs for estimated losses resulting from vendors’ inability to pay or rejections by vendors of claims. Should amounts recorded as outstanding receivables from vendors be deemed uncollectible, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results. Conversely, if actual vendor performance were to improve to an extent not expected by us, a reduction in allowances may be required which could have a favorable effect on our consolidated financial results.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

We perform an annual review for the potential impairment of the carrying value of goodwill, or more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. For purposes of our goodwill analysis, we have three reporting units, which are also our operating segments. We evaluate the appropriateness of performing a qualitative assessment, on a reporting unit level, based on current circumstances. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a

Table of Contents

reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test will not be performed. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as increases in product cost, labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows and other relevant entity-specific events and information.

If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment test is performed. The quantitative impairment test compares the fair value of our reporting units with their carrying amounts, including goodwill. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. The assumptions used in the market approach are based on the value of a business through an analysis of multiples of guideline companies and recent sales or offerings of a comparable entity. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach are based on historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs, working capital requirements, economic conditions and other relevant factors. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, only to the extent of the carrying value of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of November 1, 2018, which indicated that the carrying value of our Asia-Pacific reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, goodwill impairment expense of $47.4 million was recorded during our fourth quarter, representing the amount by which the carrying value of the Asia-Pacific reporting unit exceeded its fair value (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

The remaining goodwill allocated to our Asia-Pacific reporting unit as of January 31, 2019 was approximately $23 million. If actual results in our Asia-Pacific reporting unit are lower than the projections used in our valuation methodology, economic conditions decline in the countries in which we operate, market discount rates increase or our market capitalization decreases, our future valuations could be adversely affected, potentially resulting in a future impairment of goodwill.

We also examine the carrying value of our intangible assets with finite lives, which includes capitalized software and development costs, purchased intangibles and other long-lived assets as current events and circumstances warrant determining whether there are any impairment losses. Factors that may cause an intangible asset or other long-lived asset impairment include negative industry or economic trends and significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results.

Income Taxes

We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We consider all positive and negative evidence available in determining the potential of realizing deferred tax assets, including the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, recent cumulative losses, recent and projected future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In making this determination, we place greater emphasis on recent cumulative losses and recent taxable income due to the inherent lack of subjectivity associated with these factors. If we determine it is more likely than not that we will be able to use a deferred tax asset in the future in excess of its net carrying value, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be made to reduce income tax expense, thereby increasing net income in the period such determination is made. Should we determine that we are not likely to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be made to increase income tax expense, thereby reducing net income in the period such determination is made.

Contingencies

We accrue for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal and other regulatory matters such as imports and exports, the imposition of international governmental controls, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of international laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), and the impact of local economic conditions and practices, which are all subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a large global organization, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on our financial results in the future. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. It is our policy to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed. Additionally, we do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. With respect to our internal netting practices, we will consider inventory as an economic hedge against foreign currency exposure in accounts payable in certain circumstances. This practice offsets such inventory against corresponding accounts payable denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary buying the inventory, when determining our net exposure to be hedged using traditional forward contracts. Under this strategy, we would expect to increase or decrease our selling prices for products purchased in foreign currencies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affecting the underlying accounts payable. To the extent we incur a foreign currency exchange loss (gain) on the underlying accounts payable denominated in the foreign currency, we would expect to see a corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit as the related inventory is sold. This strategy can result in a certain degree of quarterly earnings volatility as the underlying accounts payable is remeasured using the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the end of each period, or settlement date if earlier, whereas the corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit is not realized until the related inventory is sold.

Our foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions, where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. Our transactions in foreign currencies are denominated primarily in the following currencies: Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, Danish krone, euro, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona, Swiss franc and U.S. dollar. The translation of the financial statements of foreign operations into U.S. dollars is also impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may positively or negatively impact our results of operations. A 10% decrease in average foreign exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, as compared to actual average foreign exchange rates for fiscal 2019, would have decreased fiscal 2019 net sales by approximately $2.25 billion and operating income by approximately $22 million.

Our foreign currency risk management objective is to protect our earnings and cash flows from the adverse impact of exchange rate changes through the use of foreign currency forward and swap contracts to primarily hedge intercompany loans, accounts receivable and accounts payable. In order to provide an assessment of our foreign currency exchange rate risk, we performed a sensitivity analysis using a value-at-risk (“VaR”) model. The VaR model uses a Monte Carlo simulation to generate 1,000 random market price paths. The VaR model determines the potential impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates assuming a one-day holding period, normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level. The model is not intended to represent actual losses but is used as a risk estimation and management tool. Firm commitments, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were excluded from the model. The estimated maximum potential one-day loss in fair value, calculated using the VaR model, would be approximately $1.0 million and $2.7 million at January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We believe that the hypothetical loss in fair value of our foreign exchange derivatives would be offset by the gains in the value of the underlying transactions being hedged. Actual future gains and losses associated with our derivative positions may differ materially from the analyses performed as of January 31, 2019, due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting the changes in foreign currency exchange rates and our actual exposures and positions.

We are also exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our debt used to maintain liquidity and to finance working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to minimize overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objective, we use a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Approximately 70% and 61%, respectively, of our outstanding debt had fixed interest rates at January 31, 2019 and 2018. To the extent that there are changes in interest rates, the interest expense on our variable rate debt may fluctuate. A one percentage point change in average interest rates would have an impact on interest expense of $4.2 million based on the Company's outstanding variable rate debt at January 31, 2019.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Tech Data Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tech Data Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders‘ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements“). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at January 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 20, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for recognizing revenue as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and the amendments in ASUs 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12 effective February 1, 2018, using the full retrospective method.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

/s/ Ernst & Young LLP

We have served as the Company‘s auditor since 2000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Tech Data Corporation (“Tech Data” or the “Company”) is one of the world’s largest IT distribution and solutions companies. Tech Data serves a critical role in the center of the IT ecosystem, bringing products from the world’s leading technology vendors to market, as well as helping customers create solutions best suited to maximize business outcomes for their end-user customers. Tech Data’s customers include value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers, corporate resellers and managed service providers who support the diverse technology needs of end users. On February 27, 2017, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Avnet, Inc.'s ("Avnet") Technology Solutions ("TS") business (see Note 5 – Acquisitions for further discussion). Prior to the acquisition of TS, the Company managed its operations in two geographic segments: the Americas and Europe. As a result of the acquisition of TS, the Company now manages its operations in three geographic segments: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. There were no Tech Data operations in the Asia-Pacific region prior to the acquisition of TS.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tech Data and its subsidiaries, including the results of TS from the date of acquisition of February 27, 2017. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues primarily result from the sale of various technology products and services. The Company recognizes revenue as control of products is transferred to customers, which generally happens at the point of shipment. Products sold by the Company are delivered via shipment from the Company’s facilities, dropshipment directly from the vendor, or by electronic delivery of keys for software products. In relation to product support, supply chain management and other services performed by the Company, revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Service revenues and related contract liabilities were not material for the periods presented.

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 certain fulfillment contracts, as well as sales of software services and extended warranty services.

The Company allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. A liability is recorded at the time of sale for estimated product returns based upon historical experience and an asset is recognized for the amount expected to be recorded in inventory upon product return. The Company also provides volume rebates and other discounts to certain customers which are considered variable consideration. A provision for customer rebates and other discounts is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale based on an evaluation of the contract terms and historical experience.

The Company considers shipping & handling activities as costs to fulfill the sales of products. Shipping revenue is included in net sales when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold. 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.

The Company disaggregates its operating segment revenue by geography, which the Company believes provides a meaningful depiction of the nature of its revenue. Net sales shown in Note 15 – Segment Information includes service revenues, which are not a significant component of total revenue, and are aggregated within the respective geographies.

Table of Contents

The following table provides a comparison of sales generated from products purchased from vendors that exceeded 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 (as a percent of consolidated net sales):



	2019	2018	2017
Apple, Inc.	16%	17%	21%
HP Inc.	11%	11%	14%
Cisco Systems, Inc.	11%	11%	10%

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term investments which are highly liquid and have an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash equivalents.

Investments

The Company invests in life insurance policies to fund the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The life insurance asset recorded by the Company is the amount that would be realized upon the assumed surrender of the policy. This amount is based on the underlying fair value of the invested assets contained within the life insurance policies. The gains and losses are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income within "other expense (income), net."

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make required payments. In estimating the required allowance, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the large number of customers and their dispersion across wide geographic areas, the existence of credit insurance where applicable, specifically identified customer risks, historical write-off experience and the current economic environment.

The Company has uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreements under which certain accounts receivable may be sold, without recourse, to third-party financial institutions. Under these programs, the Company may sell certain accounts receivable in exchange for cash less a discount, as defined in the agreements. Available capacity under these programs, which the Company uses as a source of working capital funding, is dependent on the level of accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions' willingness to purchase such receivables. In addition, certain of these agreements also require that the Company continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. At January 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a total of $1.1 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable sold to and held by financial institutions under these agreements. Discount fees recorded under these facilities, which are included as a component of "other expense (income), net" in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income, were $14.9 million, $9.0 million and $6.1 million during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting entirely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a moving average cost basis. Inventory is written down for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the net realizable value, based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks (such as technological obsolescence and the nature of vendor terms surrounding price protection and product returns), foreign currency fluctuations for foreign-sourced products and assumptions about future demand.

Vendor Programs

The Company participates in various vendor programs under which the vendor may provide certain incentives such as cooperative advertising allowances, infrastructure funding, more favorable payment terms, early pay discounts and rebate arrangements. These programs are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors; however, some of these programs are negotiated on an ad-hoc basis mutually developed with the vendor. Volume rebates and early payment discounts received from vendors are recorded when they are earned as a reduction of inventory and as a reduction of cost of products sold as the related inventory is sold. Vendor incentives for specifically identified cooperative advertising programs and infrastructure funding are recorded when earned as adjustments to cost of products sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the program. Reserves for receivables on vendor programs are recorded for estimated losses resulting from vendors’ inability to pay or rejections of claims by vendors.

Table of Contents

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense includes depreciation of purchased property and equipment. Depreciation expense is computed over the shorter of the estimated economic lives or lease periods using the straight-line method, generally as follows:



	Years
Buildings and improvements	15	-	39
Leasehold improvements	3	-	10
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3	-	10

Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and any gain or loss is recognized at such time.

Intangible Assets, net

Included within "intangible assets, net," at both January 31, 2019 and 2018 are capitalized software and development costs, as well as customer and vendor relationships, trade names and other intangible assets acquired in connection with various business acquisitions. Such capitalized costs and intangible assets are being amortized over a period of three to fourteen years.

The Company’s capitalized software has been obtained or developed for internal use only. Development and acquisition costs are capitalized for computer software only when management authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project through the approval of a capital expenditure requisition, and the software project is either for the development of new software, to increase the life of existing software or to add significantly to the functionality of existing software. Once these requirements have been met, capitalization would begin at the point that conceptual formulation, evaluation, design and testing of possible software project alternatives have been completed. Capitalization ceases when the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The Company’s accounting policy is to amortize capitalized software costs on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to ten years, depending upon the nature of the software, the stability of the hardware platform on which the software is installed, its fit in the Company’s overall strategy and the Company's experience with similar software.

Prepaid maintenance fees associated with a software application are accounted for separately from the related software and amortized over the life of the maintenance agreement. General, administrative, overhead, training, non-development data conversion processes, and maintenance costs, as well as the costs associated with the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for potential impairment at such time when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is evaluated when the sum of the expected, undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Any impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value.

Goodwill

The Company performs an annual review for the potential impairment of the carrying value of goodwill, or more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. For purposes of its goodwill analysis, the Company has three reporting units, which are also the Company’s operating segments. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of performing a qualitative assessment, on a reporting unit level, based on current circumstances. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test will not be performed. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as increases in product cost, labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows and other relevant entity-specific events and information.

If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment test is performed. The quantitative impairment test compares the fair values of the Company's reporting units with their carrying amounts, including goodwill. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. The assumptions used in the market approach are based on the value of a business through an analysis of multiples of guideline companies and recent sales or offerings of a comparable entity. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach are based on historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs, working capital requirements, economic conditions and other relevant factors. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, only to the extent of the carrying value of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit (see Note 4 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further discussion).

Product Warranty

The Company’s vendors generally warrant the products distributed by the Company and allow the Company to return defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. The Company typically does not independently warrant the products it distributes; however, in several countries where the Company operates, the Company is responsible for defective product as a matter of law. The time period required by law in certain countries exceeds the warranty period provided by the manufacturer. The Company is obligated to provide warranty protection for sales of certain IT products within the European Union (“EU”) for up to two years as required under the EU directive where vendors have not affirmatively agreed to provide pass-through protection. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant costs for defective products under these legal requirements. The Company does warrant services with regard to products integrated for its customers. A provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant service warranty costs.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the book basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the fiscal period that includes the enactment date.

The Company considers all positive and negative evidence available in determining the potential realization of deferred tax assets, including the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, recent cumulative losses, recent and projected future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In making this determination, the Company places greater emphasis on recent cumulative losses and recent taxable income due to the inherent lack of subjectivity associated with these factors. In addition, the Company is subject to the periodic examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments which are subject to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited and/or invested with various financial institutions globally that are monitored on a regular basis by the Company for credit quality.

The Company sells its products to a large base of value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company has obtained credit insurance, primarily in Europe, which insures a percentage of credit extended by the Company to certain of its customers against possible loss. The Company maintains provisions for estimated credit losses. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales during fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The Company also enters into foreign currency exchange contracts. In the event of a failure to honor one of these contracts by one of the banks with which the Company has contracted, the Company believes any loss would be limited in most circumstances to the exchange rate differential from the time the contract was executed until the time the contract was settled. The Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts are executed with various financial institutions globally and are monitored on a regular basis by the Company for credit quality.

Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement

The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using weighted average exchange rates for each period during the year. Translation gains and losses are reported as components of "accumulated other comprehensive income", included within shareholders’ equity in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company faces exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reduces its exposure by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments, in the form of foreign currency forward contracts, in situations where there are not offsetting balances that create an economic hedge. Substantially all of these instruments have terms of 90 days or less. It is the Company’s policy to utilize financial instruments to reduce risk where appropriate and prohibit entering into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments used to reduce exposure to foreign currency risk are not designated as hedging instruments. The derivative instruments are marked-to-market each period with gains and losses on these contracts recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income within “cost of products sold” for derivative instruments used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable and within “other expense (income), net,” for derivative instruments used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign denominated financing transactions. Such mark-to-market gains and losses are

Table of Contents

recorded in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting entry for unsettled positions being recorded to either "prepaid expenses and other assets" or "accrued expenses and other liabilities" in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of “net income” and “other comprehensive income.” The Company’s "accumulated other comprehensive income" is comprised exclusively of changes in the Company’s currency translation adjustment account.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records all equity-based incentive grants to employees and non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income based on their fair values determined on the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for awards other than its performance based restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost associated with its performance based restricted stock units over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. Stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for forfeitures based on the Company’s historical experience.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is accounted for at cost. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under equity incentive and benefit plans. The reissuance of shares from treasury stock is based on the weighted average purchase price of the shares.

Contingencies

The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, the Company reassesses its position and makes appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal and other regulatory matters such as imports and exports, the imposition of international governmental controls, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of international laws (particularly related to items such as duty and taxation), and the impact of local economic conditions and practices, which are all subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

Legal settlements and other, net

The Company has been a claimant in proceedings seeking damages from certain manufacturers of LCD flat panel and cathode ray tube displays as well as reimbursement from insurance providers of certain costs incurred by the Company associated with the restatement of certain of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other financial information from fiscal 2009 to 2013. The Company reached settlement agreements during the periods presented and has recorded these amounts, net of attorney fees and expenses, in "legal settlements and other, net," in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard which supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP. In March, April, May and December 2016, the FASB issued additional updates to the new accounting standard which provided supplemental adoption guidance and clarifications. The new standard requires the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. The Company adopted the standard utilizing the full retrospective method during the quarter ended April 30, 2018. The adoption of this standard impacted the reporting of certain revenues on a gross or net basis, primarily related to changes in the reporting of certain software revenue transactions from a gross basis to a net basis. Additionally, the Company reclassified certain amounts on the consolidated balance sheet related to customer rebates, sales returns and other discounts from a reduction of accounts receivable to accrued expenses and other liabilities as these amounts represent liabilities to customers. Similarly, the Company reclassified certain amounts for the Company's right to recover assets from customers related to sales returns from inventory and accounts payable to prepaid expenses and other assets. The adoption of this standard had no impact on gross profit, operating income, net income or cash flows from operations.

Table of Contents

As a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, certain amounts in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2018 and 2017 and Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2018 have been recast as follows:

In August 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended April 30, 2018. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that revises the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended April 30, 2018. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that clarifies the guidance regarding the changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that would require an entity to apply modification accounting. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended April 30, 2018. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard which requires the recognition of assets and liabilities arising from lease transactions on the balance sheet and the disclosure of additional information about leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, for all leases, interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset will be recorded for leases determined to be finance leases and straight-line lease expense will be recorded for leases determined to be operating leases. Lessees will initially recognize assets for the right to use the leased assets and liabilities for the obligations created by those leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued additional updates to the new accounting standard which provide entities with a transition option to initially account for the impact of the adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company will elect this transition option. The Company will also elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward the historical accounting relating to lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption. The accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing its assessment of the impact of the new standard and implementing related process and system changes. The Company currently expects that the primary impact will be an increase in its total assets and total liabilities due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities upon implementation for leases currently accounted for as operating leases. The adoption of this standard is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and based on the Company's ongoing assessment, the Company expects to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $200 million to $250 million.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard which revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of the recognition of those losses. Under the new standard, financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis are to be presented net of the amount not expected to be collected via an allowance for credit losses. Estimated credit losses are

to be based on historical information adjusted for management's expectation that current conditions and supportable forecasts differ from historical experience. The accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that amends and simplifies guidance related to hedge accounting to more accurately portray the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which aligns the capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the existing capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule that eliminates or amends certain disclosure requirements that were deemed redundant and outdated in light of changes in SEC requirements, U.S. GAAP or changes in technology or the business environment. The rule also requires registrants to include in their interim financial statements a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity in the notes or as a separate statement. The final rule was effective on November 5, 2018, however, registrants may begin providing the new interim reconciliation of stockholders’ equity in the first interim period beginning after the effective date. The Company will present the interim reconciliation of stockholders’ equity in its Form 10-Q beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2019.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on previously reported amounts.

NOTE 2 — EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

The Company presents the composition of EPS on a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives (see Note 10 – Employee Benefit Plans for further discussion) using the treasury stock method. The composition of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data) is as follows:



Year ended January 31:	2019		2018		2017
Net income	$	340,580	$	116,641	$	195,095

Weighted average common shares - basic	38,094		37,957		35,194
Effect of dilutive securities:
Equity-based awards	223		259		234
Weighted average common shares - diluted	38,317		38,216		35,428

Earnings per share
Basic	$	8.94	$	3.07	$	5.54
Diluted	$	8.89	$	3.05	$	5.51

For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 there were 21,008, 3,017 and 5,191 shares, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 3 — PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

The Company's property and equipment (in thousands) consists of the following:



As of January 31:	2019			2018
Land	$	43,775		$	44,515
Buildings and leasehold improvements	220,253			216,344

Balance as of January 31, 2019	$	488,508		$	381,271		$	23,211		$	892,990

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on November 1, 2018. In estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, a discounted cash flow approach and market approach were utilized. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach were based on historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs, working capital requirements, economic conditions and other relevant factors. The assumptions used in the market approach were based on the value of a business through an analysis of multiples of guideline companies and recent sales or offerings of a comparable entity.

The results of the goodwill impairment test indicated that the fair value of each of the Company’s Americas and Europe reporting units was greater than its carrying value; however, the carrying value of the Company’s Asia-Pacific reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s Asia-Pacific reporting unit developed under the discounted cash flow and market approaches decreased in comparison to the Company’s prior estimates. The decrease in fair value was primarily due to lower operating results and increased investments in the region as compared to expectations. As a result, goodwill impairment expense of $47.4 million was recorded during the Company’s fourth quarter, representing the amount by which the carrying value of the Asia-Pacific reporting unit exceeded its fair value. The goodwill recorded in the Company’s Asia-Pacific reporting unit relates entirely to the TS acquisition as the Company did not have operations in the region prior to the acquisition of TS.

The Company's intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):



	January 31, 2019							January 31, 2018
	Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization			Net book value		Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization			Net book value
Capitalized software and development costs	$	460,254	$	(336,034	)	$	124,220	$	458,799	$	(318,110	)	$	140,689
Customer and vendor relationships	1,063,471		(265,593		)	797,878		1,098,958		(197,517		)	901,441

Other intangible assets is primarily comprised of trade names from previous acquisitions. The Company capitalized intangible assets of approximately $21.6 million, $1.0 billion and $14.6 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For fiscal 2019, these capitalized assets primarily relate to software and software development expenditures to be used in the Company's operations. For fiscal 2018, these capitalized assets primarily relate to approximately $1.0 billion of intangible assets recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of TS, including $875 million related to customer relationships, $75 million of capitalized software and development costs and $44 million related to trade names (see Note 5 – Acquisitions for further discussion). For fiscal 2017, these capitalized assets related primarily to software and software development expenditures to be used in the Company's operations.

NOTE 5 — ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of TS

On February 27, 2017, Tech Data acquired all of the outstanding shares of TS for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.8 billion, comprised of approximately $2.5 billion in cash and 2,785,402 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at approximately $247 million based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on February 27, 2017. TS delivered data center hardware and software solutions and services and the TS acquisition strengthened the Company's end-to-end solutions portfolio and deepened its value added capabilities in the data center and next-generation technologies. The total cash consideration payable to Avnet was subject to certain working capital and other adjustments, as determined through the process established in the interest purchase agreement. In August 2018, the Company executed a settlement agreement with Avnet, resulting in a final working capital adjustment of $120 million which was paid to Avnet during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. As the measurement period has concluded, a gain of $9.6 million was recorded in “acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended January 31, 2019, representing the difference between the final working capital adjustment and the Company’s prior estimate. Additionally, as part of the settlement agreement, the Company and Avnet reached agreement on the final geographic allocation of the purchase price for tax reporting purposes which resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset in the U.S. for future tax deductions related to the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes. The recognition of the deferred tax asset in the U.S. resulted in an income tax benefit of $13.0 million during fiscal 2019.

The Company has accounted for the TS acquisition as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:



(in millions)
Cash	$	176
Accounts receivable	1,830
Inventories	239
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	100
Property and equipment, net	62
Goodwill	727
Intangible assets	919
Other assets, net	151
Total assets	4,204

Other current liabilities	1,169
Revolving credit loans and long-term debt	134
Other long-term liabilities	99
Total liabilities	1,402

Purchase price	$	2,802

Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of approximately $875 million of customer relationships with a weighted-average amortization period of 14 years and $44 million of trade names with an amortization period of 5 years. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and primarily represents the expected revenue and cost synergies of the combined company and assembled workforce. Approximately $1.2 billion of the goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company has recorded certain indemnification assets for expected amounts to be received from Avnet related to liabilities recorded for unrecognized tax benefits and other items (See Note 9 – Income Taxes for further discussion).

Included within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income are estimated net sales for the year ended January 31, 2018, of approximately $7.6 billion from TS subsequent to the acquisition date of February 27, 2017. As the Company began integrating certain sales and other functions after the closing of the acquisition, these amounts represent an estimate of the TS net sales for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018. It is not necessarily indicative of how the TS operations would have performed on a stand-alone basis. As a result of certain integration activities subsequent to the date of acquisition, it is impracticable to disclose earnings from TS in fiscal 2018 for the period subsequent to the acquisition date.

Table of Contents

The following table presents unaudited supplemental pro forma information as if the TS acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2017. The pro forma results presented are based on combining the stand-alone operating results of the Company and TS for the periods prior to the acquisition date after giving effect to certain adjustments related to the transaction. The pro forma results exclude any benefits that may result from potential cost synergies of the combined company and certain non-recurring costs. As a result, the pro forma information below does not purport to present what actual results would have been had the acquisition actually been consummated on the date indicated and it is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may result in the future.



Year ended January 31:	2018		2017
(in millions)	(Unaudited)
Pro forma net sales	$	34,268	$	32,882
Pro forma net income	$	129	$	232

Adjustments reflected in the pro forma results include the following:


•	Amortization of acquired intangible assets


•	Interest costs associated with the transaction


•	Removal of certain non-recurring transaction costs of $20 million and $12 million in fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively


•	Tax effects of adjustments based on an estimated statutory tax rate


•	Impact of adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)"

NOTE 6 — ACQUISITION, INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

Acquisition of TS

Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses related to the acquisition of TS are primarily comprised of restructuring costs, IT related costs, professional services, transaction related costs and other costs. Restructuring costs are comprised of severance and facility exit costs. IT related costs consist primarily of data center and non-ERP application migration and integration costs, as well as, IT related professional services. Professional services are primarily comprised of integration related activities, including professional fees for project management, accounting, tax and other consulting services.

Senior Notes

In January 2017, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% Senior Notes due February 15, 2022 (the "3.70% Senior Notes") and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due February 15, 2027 (the "4.95% Senior Notes") (collectively the "2017 Senior Notes"). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2017 Senior Notes were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of TS. The Company pays interest on the 2017 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The interest rate payable on the 2017 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit rating assigned to such series of notes changes. At no point will the interest rate be reduced below the interest rate payable on the notes on the date of the initial issuance or increase more than 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the notes of the series on the date of their initial issuance. The 2017 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding.

The Company, at its option, may redeem the 3.70% Senior Notes at any time prior to January 15, 2022 and the 4.95% Senior Notes at any time prior to November 15, 2026, in each case in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2017 Senior Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points for the 3.70% Senior Notes and 40 basis points for the 4.95% Senior Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed up to the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem the 2017 Senior Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, on or after January 15, 2022 for the 3.70% Senior Notes and November 15, 2026 for the 4.95% Senior Notes, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Senior Notes to be redeemed.

Other Credit Facilities

The Company has a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the “Credit Agreement”), which among other things, provides for (i) a maturity date of November 2, 2021 and (ii) an interest rate on borrowings, facility fees and letter of credit fees based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service and Moody’s Investor Service. The Company pays interest on advances under the Credit Agreement at LIBOR (or similar interbank offered rates depending on currency draw) plus a predetermined margin that is based on the Company’s debt rating. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at January 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company entered into a term loan credit agreement on November 2, 2016 with a syndicate of banks (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") which provides for the borrowing of (i) a tranche of senior unsecured term loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million and maturing three years after the funding date and (ii) a tranche of senior unsecured term loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million and maturing five years after the funding date. The Company pays interest on advances under the Term Loan Credit Agreement at a variable rate based on LIBOR (or similar interbank offered rates depending on currency draw) plus a predetermined margin that is based on the Company's debt rating. In connection with the acquisition of TS on February 27, 2017, the Company borrowed $1.0 billion under the Term Loan Credit Agreement in order to fund a portion of the cash consideration paid to Avnet. The borrowings were comprised of a $250.0 million tranche of three-year senior unsecured term loans (the “2020 Term Loans”) and a $750.0 million tranche of five-year senior unsecured term loans (the “2022 Term Loans”). The 2020 Term Loans were repaid in full during fiscal 2018.

Table of Contents

The outstanding principal amount of the 2022 Term Loans is payable in equal quarterly installments of (i) for the first three years after the funding date, 5.0% per annum of the initial principal amount and (ii) for the fourth and fifth years after the funding date, 10.0% per annum of the initial principal amount, with the remaining balance payable on February 27, 2022. The Company may repay the 2022 Term Loans, at any time in whole or in part, without penalty or premium prior to the maturity date. Quarterly installment payments due under the 2022 Term Loans are reduced by the amount of any prepayments made by the Company. The Company made principal payments of $200.0 million and $250.0 million on the 2022 Term Loans during fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. At January 31, 2019, there was $300.0 million outstanding on the 2022 Term Loans at an interest rate of 3.99% and at January 31, 2018 there was $500.0 million outstanding on the 2022 Term Loans at an interest rate of 3.07%.

The Company also has an agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “Receivables Securitization Program”) that allows the Company to transfer an undivided interest in a designated pool of U.S. accounts receivable, on an ongoing basis, to provide collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $750.0 million. Under this program, the Company transfers certain U.S. trade receivables into a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled approximately $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion at January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As collections reduce accounts receivable balances included in the collateral pool, the Company may transfer interests in new receivables to bring the amount available to be borrowed up to the maximum. This program has a maturity date of August 8, 2019, and interest is to be paid on advances under the Receivables Securitization Program at the applicable commercial paper or LIBOR rate plus an agreed-upon margin. There were no amounts outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Program at January 31, 2019 and 2018.

In addition to the facilities described above, the Company has various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $399.5 million at January 31, 2019 to support its operations. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. There was $102.3 million outstanding on these facilities at January 31, 2019, at a weighted average interest rate of 8.05%, and there was $119.8 million outstanding at January 31, 2018, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.07%.

At January 31, 2019, the Company had also issued standby letters of credit of $30.3 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces the Company's borrowing availability under certain of the above-mentioned credit facilities.

Certain of the Company’s credit facilities contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock and require compliance with other obligations, warranties and covenants. The financial ratio covenants under these credit facilities include a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. At January 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”) which significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a modified territorial tax system that includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Due to the complexities involved in accounting for U.S. Tax Reform, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 which requires that the Company include in its financial statements the reasonable estimate of the impact of U.S. Tax Reform on earnings to the extent such reasonable estimate has been determined. SAB 118 allowed the Company to report provisional amounts within a measurement period up to one year due to the complexities inherent in adopting the changes. Accordingly, in fiscal 2018, the Company recorded income tax expenses of $95.4 million, which represented the Company’s reasonable estimate of the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform. The amounts recorded include income tax expenses of $101.1 million for the transition tax and a net income tax benefit of $5.7 million related to the remeasurement of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. During fiscal 2019, the Company finalized its analysis of the impact of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform and decreased its estimate of the one-time transition tax by $49.2 million, primarily due to further analysis of earnings and profits of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and the utilization of foreign tax credits.

Additionally, U.S. Tax Reform subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company has made the accounting policy election to treat taxes due on the GILTI as a current period expense.

There are no material consolidated undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred taxes have been recorded.

In fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit/(expense) of $6.0 million and $(1.2) million, respectively, related to changes in deferred tax valuation allowances. The net change in the deferred tax valuation allowances in fiscal 2019 was an increase of $37.8 million primarily resulting from an increase in the United States for foreign tax credits as a result of U.S. Tax Reform, partially offset by the release of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisidictions. The net change in the deferred tax valuation allowances in fiscal 2018 was an increase of $33.9 million primarily resulting from deferred tax valuation allowances recorded in various jurisdictions related to the acquisition of TS.

The valuation allowances at both January 31, 2019 and 2018 primarily relate to foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards totaled $504.2 million and $576.8 million at January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The majority of the net operating losses have an indefinite carryforward period with the remaining portion expiring in fiscal years 2019 through 2034. The Company's foreign tax credit carryforwards in the U.S. totaled $50.4 million and $0 at January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The foreign tax credits have a ten year carryforward period, and the majority is set to expire in fiscal year 2028. The Company considers all positive and negative evidence available in determining the potential of realizing deferred tax assets. To the extent that the Company generates consistent taxable income within those operations with valuation allowances, the Company may reduce the valuation allowances, thereby reducing income tax expense and increasing net income in the period the determination is made.

The estimates and assumptions used by the Company in computing the income taxes reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements could differ from the actual results reflected in the income tax returns filed during the subsequent year. Adjustments are recorded based on filed returns when such returns are finalized or the related adjustments are identified.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, for the years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 is as follows (in thousands):



For the year ended January 31:	2019			2018			2017
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of period	$	72,252		$	18,305		$	12,989
Increases in tax positions for prior years	4,671			66,180			5,443

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of period	$	25,837		$	72,252		$	18,305

At January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $23.1 million, $38.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of TS, pursuant to the interest purchase agreement, the Company and Avnet agreed to indemnify each other in relation to certain tax matters. As a result, the Company has recorded certain indemnification assets for expected amounts to be received from Avnet related to liabilities recorded for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has also recorded certain indemnification liabilities for expected amounts to be paid to Avnet. During the years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, due to the resolution of certain pre-acquisition tax matters and the expiration of certain statutes of limitation, the Company recorded benefits in income tax expense of $9.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively. As a result, the Company recorded expenses of $9.6 million and $6.5 million, during the years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which are included in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Income, related to changes in the corresponding indemnification assets and liabilities recorded. The net impact of these items had no impact on the Company's net income.

Unrecognized tax benefits that have a reasonable possibility of significantly decreasing within the 12 months following January 31, 2019 totaled $3.7 million, all of which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized, primarily related to the foreign taxation of certain transactions. Consistent with prior periods, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. The Company’s accrued interest at January 31, 2019, would not have a material impact on the effective tax rate if reversed. The provision for income taxes for each of the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 includes interest expense on unrecognized income tax benefits for current and prior years which is not significant to the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. The change in the balance of accrued interest for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, includes the current year end accrual, an interest benefit resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitation, and the translation adjustments on foreign currencies.

The Company conducts business primarily in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific, and as a result, one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by the Internal Revenue Service for years before fiscal 2016. Income tax returns of various foreign jurisdictions for fiscal 2006 and forward are currently under taxing authority examination or remain subject to audit.

NOTE 10 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Overview of Equity Incentive Plans

The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders in June 2018 and includes 2.0 million shares available for grant, of which approximately 2.0 million shares remain available for future grant at January 31, 2019. The Company is authorized to award officers, employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors restricted stock, options to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights and performance awards that are dependent upon achievement of specified performance goals. Equity-based compensation awards are used by the Company to attract talent and as a retention mechanism for the award recipients and have a maximum term of ten years, unless a shorter period is specified by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) or is required under local law. Awards under the plan are priced as determined by the Compensation Committee and are required to be priced at, or above, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Awards generally vest between one and three years from the date of grant. The Company’s policy is to utilize shares of its treasury stock, to the extent available, to satisfy its obligation to issue shares upon the exercise of awards.

For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $31.5 million, $29.4 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense, and related income tax benefits of $7.4 million, $9.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The actual benefit received from the tax deduction from the exercise of equity-based incentives was $5.4 million, $5.9 million and $4.8 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Restricted Stock

The Company’s restricted stock awards are primarily in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and typically vest in annual installments lasting between one and three years from the date of grant, unless a different vesting schedule is mandated by country law. All of the RSUs have a fair market value equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense includes $25.4 million, $25.8 million and $13.3 million related to RSUs during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

A summary of the Company’s RSU activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 is as follows:



	Shares		Weighted-average grant date fair value
Nonvested at January 31, 2018	700,532		$	83.25
Granted	280,352		85.50
Vested	(267,591	)	78.87
Canceled	(64,171	)	86.10
Nonvested at January 31, 2019	649,122		85.71

The total fair value of RSUs which vested during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 is $21.1 million, $12.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of the 454,480 RSUs granted during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 was $92.08 per share. The weighted-average fair value of the 222,095 RSUs granted during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 was $78.42 per share. As of January 31, 2019, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs was $22.9 million, which the Company expects to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.6 years.

Performance based restricted stock units

The Company's performance based restricted stock unit awards ("PRSUs") are subject to vesting conditions, including meeting specified cumulative performance objectives over a period of 3 years. Each performance based award recipient could vest in 0% to 150% of the target shares granted contingent on the achievement of the Company's financial performance metrics. Stock-based compensation expense includes $5.8 million, $3.3 million and $0.4 million related to PRSUs during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

A summary of the Company’s PRSU activity, assuming maximum achievement, for the year ended January 31, 2019 is as follows:



	Shares		Weighted-average grant date fair value
Nonvested at January 31, 2018	170,685		$	89.67
Granted	153,719		82.13
Canceled	(31,188	)	88.50
Nonvested at January 31, 2019	293,216		85.84

As of January 31, 2019, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested PRSUs, based on estimated achievement, was $10.6 million, which the Company expects to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.7 years.

The weighted-average fair value of the 159,148 PRSUs granted during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 was $90.95 per share. The weighted-average fair value of the 18,563 PRSUs granted during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 was $78.42 per share.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), the Company is authorized to issue up to 1.0 million shares of common stock to eligible employees in the Company’s U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Under the terms of the ESPP, employees can choose to have a fixed dollar amount or percentage deducted from their bi-weekly compensation to purchase the Company’s common stock and/or elect to purchase shares once per calendar quarter. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the market value on the purchase date and employees are limited to a maximum purchase of $25,000 in fair market value each calendar year. From the inception of the ESPP through January 31, 2019, the Company has issued 556,612 shares of common stock to the ESPP. All shares purchased under the ESPP must be held by the employees for a period of one year. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was insignificant during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Retirement Savings Plan

The Company sponsors the Tech Data Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Savings Plan”) for its U.S. employees. At the Company’s discretion, participant deferrals are matched in cash, in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of participant deferrals and participants are fully vested following four years of qualified service. Aggregate contributions made by the Company to the 401(k) Savings Plan were $6.7 million, $6.4 million and $3.1 million for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

NOTE 11 — SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On October 2, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $200.0 million of the Company's common stock. In conjunction with the Company’s share repurchase program, a 10b5-1 plan was executed that instructs the broker selected by the Company to repurchase shares on behalf of the Company. The amount of common stock repurchased in accordance with the 10b5-1 plan on any given trading day is determined by a formula in the plan, which is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under equity incentive and benefit plans. The reissuance of shares from treasury stock is based on the weighted average purchase price of the shares.

During the year ended January 31, 2019, the Company repurchased $107.0 million of its common stock under the program. As of January 31, 2019, the Company had $93.0 million available for future repurchases of its common stock under the authorized share repurchase program. Subsequent to January 31, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $100.0 million of the Company's common stock.

The Company’s common share repurchase and issuance activity for fiscal 2019 and 2018 is summarized as follows:



	Shares		Weighted- average price per share
Treasury stock balance at January 31, 2017	24,018,983		$	44.59
Shares of treasury stock reissued for equity incentive plans	(149,609	)
Shares of treasury stock reissued for acquisition of TS	(2,785,402	)
Treasury stock balance at January 31, 2018	21,083,972		44.59
Shares of common stock repurchased under share repurchase program	1,429,154		74.89
Shares of treasury stock reissued for equity incentive plans	(207,662	)
Treasury stock balance at January 31, 2019	22,305,464		$	46.53

As part of the acquisition of TS, the Company reissued 2,785,402 shares of Tech Data's common stock out of treasury stock (see Note 5 – Acquisitions for further discussion).

NOTE 12 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s assets and liabilities carried or disclosed at fair value are classified in one of the following three categories: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 above that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and, Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The classification of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):



	January 31, 2019				January 31, 2018
	Fair value measurement category				Fair value measurement category
	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3
Assets
Foreign currency forward contracts		$	3,830			$	5,025

Liabilities
Foreign currency forward contracts		$	6,641			$	11,675

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are measured on a recurring basis based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers (Level 2 criteria) and are marked-to-market each period with gains and losses on these contracts recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income on a basis consistent with the classification of the change in the fair value of the underlying transactions giving rise to these foreign currency exchange gains and losses in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting amount for unsettled positions being included in either "prepaid expenses and other assets" or "accrued expenses and other liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (see Note 13 – Derivative Instruments for further discussion).

The Company utilizes life insurance policies to fund the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The life insurance asset, which is recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet in "other assets, net", is the amount that would be realized upon the assumed surrender of the policy. This amount is based on the underlying fair value of the invested assets contained within the life insurance policies. The gains and losses are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income within "other expense (income), net." The related deferred compensation liability, which is recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet in "accrued expenses and other liabilities," is marked-to-market each period based upon the returns of the various investments selected by the plan participants and the gains and losses are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income within "selling, general and administrative expenses." The net realizable value of the Company's life insurance investments and related deferred compensation liability was $39.2 million and $39.1 million, respectively, at January 31, 2019 and $44.8 million and $44.7 million, respectively, at January 31, 2018.

The carrying value of the 2017 Senior Notes discussed in Note 8 – Debt represents cost less unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. The estimated fair value of the 2017 Senior Notes is based upon quoted market information (Level 1). The estimated fair value of the 2017 Senior Notes was $988 million and $1.020 billion, respectively, at January 31, 2019 and 2018 and the carrying value was $992.8 million and $991.3 million, respectively, at January 31, 2019 and 2018. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amounts of debt outstanding pursuant to revolving credit facilities and under the Term Loan Credit Agreement approximate fair value as the majority of these instruments have variable interest rates which approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria).

NOTE 13 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s foreign currency risk management objective is to protect earnings and cash flows from the impact of exchange rate changes primarily through the use of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge both intercompany and third party loans, accounts receivable and accounts payable. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments.

The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The Company’s transactions in its foreign operations are denominated primarily in the following currencies: Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, Danish krone, euro, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona, Swiss franc and U.S. dollar.

The Company considers inventory as an economic hedge against foreign currency exposure in accounts payable in certain circumstances. This practice offsets such inventory against corresponding accounts payable denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary buying the inventory, when determining the net exposure to be hedged using traditional forward contracts. Under this strategy, the Company would expect to increase or decrease selling prices for products purchased in foreign currencies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affecting the underlying accounts payable. To the extent the Company incurs a foreign currency exchange loss (gain) on the underlying accounts payable denominated in the foreign currency, a corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit would be expected as the related inventory is sold. This strategy can result in a certain degree of quarterly earnings volatility as the underlying accounts payable is remeasured using the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the end of each period, or settlement date if earlier, whereas the corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit is not realized until the related inventory is sold.

The Company recognizes foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its derivative instruments used to manage its exposures to foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable as a component of “cost of products sold” which is consistent with the classification of the change in fair value upon remeasurement of the underlying hedged accounts receivable or accounts payable. The Company recognizes foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its derivative instruments used to manage its exposures to foreign currency denominated financing transactions as a component of “other expense (income), net” which is consistent with the classification of the change in fair value upon remeasurement of the underlying hedged loans. The total amount recognized in earnings on the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts, which depending upon the nature of the underlying hedged asset or liability is included as a component of either “cost of products sold” or “other expense (income), net,” was a net foreign currency exchange loss of $27.1 million, $32.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are largely offset by the change in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets or liabilities.

The notional amount of forward exchange contracts is the amount of foreign currency to be bought or sold at maturity. Notional amounts are indicative of the extent of the Company’s involvement in the various types and uses of derivative financial instruments and are not a measure of the Company’s exposure to credit or market risks through its use of derivatives. The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments represents the amount required to enter into similar offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are also discussed in Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements.

The Company’s average notional amounts of derivative financial instruments outstanding during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $1.5 billion, $1.0 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, with average maturities of 25 days, 31 days and 29 days, respectively. As discussed above, under the Company’s hedging policies, gains and losses on the derivative financial instruments have been and would be expected to continue to be largely offset by the gains and losses on the underlying assets or liabilities being hedged.

NOTE 14 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases logistics centers, office facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Fair value renewal and escalation clauses exist for a substantial portion of the operating leases. Rental expense for all operating leases totaled $87.2 million, $83.6 million and $53.0 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Future minimum lease payments at January 31, 2019, under all such leases for succeeding fiscal years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):



Fiscal year:
2020	$	66,469
2021	58,435
2022	38,808

Thereafter	37,400
Total payments	$	251,661

Contingencies

Prior to fiscal 2004, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, located in Spain, was audited in relation to various value added tax (“VAT”) matters and received notices of assessment related to fiscal years 1994 through 2001 that alleged the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. The Spanish subsidiary appealed these assessments beginning in March 2010. The matters related to fiscal years 1996 through 2001 were resolved during fiscal 2016. During fiscal 2017, the Spanish National Appellate Court issued an opinion upholding the assessments for fiscal years 1994 and 1995. The Company appealed this opinion to the Spanish Supreme Court; however, certain of the amounts assessed for fiscal years 1994 and 1995 were not eligible to be appealed to the Spanish Supreme Court. As a result, the Company increased its accrual for costs associated with this matter by $2.6 million during fiscal 2017, including $1.5 million recorded in "value added tax assessments" and $1.1 million recorded in "interest expense" in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

During fiscal 2018, the Spanish Supreme Court issued a decision upholding the assessment for fiscal years 1994 and 1995. As a result, the Company increased its accrual for costs associated with this matter by $2.1 million during fiscal 2018, including $1.2 million recorded in "value added tax assessments" and $0.9 million recorded in "interest expense" in the Consolidated Statement of Income. As of January 31, 2018, the Company had recorded a liability of approximately $10.7 million for the entire amount of the remaining assessments. During fiscal 2019, the Company paid the assessed amounts and recorded a benefit in interest expense of $0.9 million to adjust its accrual for estimated interest costs to the final assessed amount.

In December 2010, in a non-unanimous decision, a Brazilian appellate court overturned a 2003 trial court which had previously ruled in favor of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary related to the imposition of certain taxes on payments abroad related to the licensing of commercial software products, commonly referred to as “CIDE tax.” The Company estimates the total exposure related to CIDE tax, including interest, was approximately $20.4 million at January 31, 2019. The Brazilian subsidiary has appealed the unfavorable ruling to the Supreme Court and Superior Court, Brazil's two highest appellate courts. Based on the legal opinion of outside counsel, the Company believes that the chances of success on appeal of this matter are favorable and the Brazilian subsidiary intends to vigorously defend its position that the CIDE tax is not due. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an accrual for the total estimated CIDE tax exposure. However, due to the lack of predictability of the Brazilian court system, the Company has concluded that it is reasonably possible that the Brazilian subsidiary may incur a loss up to the total exposure described above. The Company believes the resolution of this litigation will not be material to the Company’s consolidated net assets or liquidity.

In June 2013, the Company was the subject of a document seizure by the French Autorité de la Concurrence (Competition Authority), following allegations of anticompetitive distribution practices in the French market for the products of one of the Company's suppliers. In October 2018, the Competition Authority delivered a notification des griefs (statement of objections) to the Company, stating that the Competition Authority is pursuing charges against the Company in this matter. The Competition Authority has taken similar action against the Company's supplier and another of its distributors. At this time, the Company cannot determine the likelihood of loss or reasonably estimate the range of any loss arising from this proceeding.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not expect that the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Guarantees

As is customary in the technology industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase products from Tech Data, the Company has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities to the Company’s customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, the Company would be required to purchase certain inventory in the event the inventory is repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by the Company under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.

NOTE 15 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

Tech Data operates predominately in a single industry segment as a distributor of technology products, logistics management, and other value-added services. While the Company operates primarily in one industry, it is managed based on geographic segments. The Company manages its operations in three geographic segments: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. There were no Tech Data operations in the Asia-Pacific region prior to the acquisition of TS in February 2017.

The Company does not consider stock-based compensation expense in assessing the performance of its operating segments, and therefore the Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from segment information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Tech Data’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of January 31, 2019. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is 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 in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the CEO and CFO and is effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:


•	pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;


•	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the board of directors; and


•	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. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of the 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.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on our assessment, we have concluded that, as of January 31, 2019, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2019, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as stated in their report included herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with management’s evaluation during our last quarter of fiscal 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Tech Data Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Tech Data Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Tech Data Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2019, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of Tech Data Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated March 20, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

ITEM 9B. Other Information

On March 18, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted an amended and restated Tech Data Corporation Executive Severance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”). In addition to other administrative changes, the Executive Severance Plan was amended such that participants in the plan who are involuntarily terminated for reasons other than gross misconduct will receive a prorated portion of their annual incentive under the Executive Bonus Plan at 100% of the target payment, prorated through the participant’s termination date and payable with the participant’s first severance payment under the Executive Severance Plan. Following this payment, participants will not receive any further opportunity to participate in any portion of the Executive Bonus Plan for the current or prospective fiscal year. The Executive Severance Plan was also amended to provide for the full payment of benefits under the plan to a qualifying participant’s designated beneficiaries in the event of the participant’s death prior to the full payment of benefits.

The above description of the Executive Severance Plan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Executive Severance Plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10-34, and incorporated by reference herein.
