CDW Corporation (Nasdaq: CDW), a leading multi-brand provider of information technology solutions to business, government, education and healthcare customers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, today announced fourth quarter and year end 2022 results. CDW also announced the approval by its Board of Directors of a $750 million increase to its share repurchase authorization and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.59 per share, which is 18 percent higher than the prior year period, to be paid on March 10, 2023 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 24, 2023.

"Our strong full year sales and profit performance highlights the combined power of our agile business model and strength of our strategy. Record fourth quarter profit performance was driven by the team's ability to meet customer priorities and capture growth opportunities," said Christine A. Leahy, chair, president and chief executive officer, CDW. "I am extremely proud of the commitment, agility and resolve of our coworkers, who successfully helped our customers address their mission-critical IT and operational needs across the full IT solutions stack and lifecycle."

"Strong operating results and successful execution of our capital allocation priorities delivered a 15.6 and 22.9 percent increase in GAAP and Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for 2022," said Albert J. Miralles, chief financial officer, CDW. "We optimized the use of cash flow after paying dividends to achieve our 2022 goal of reducing our net leverage to the targeted range. In 2023, in addition to our continued focus on dividend increases and managing our net leverage, we are also pleased to re-establish our capital allocation priorities of M&A and share repurchases."

"In 2023, we are well-positioned to continue our track record of outpacing the US IT market growth by 200 to 300 basis points on a constant currency basis. To accomplish this, we will maintain our laser focus on meeting the needs of our more than 250,000 customers and remaining the partner of choice for more than 1,000 leading and emerging technology brands as the technology market continues to evolve," concluded Leahy.

Fourth Quarter of 2022 Highlights:

Total Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $5,438 million, compared to $5,537 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of 1.8 percent. There were 63 selling days for both the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Net sales on a constant currency basis decreased 0.4 percent. Currency impact to Net sales decline was driven by unfavorable translation of the British pound and Canadian dollar to US dollar. Fourth quarter Net sales performance included:

• Total Corporate segment Net sales of $2,484 million, 6.9 percent higher than 2021.
• Total Small Business segment Net sales of $424 million, 13.1 percent lower than 2021.
• Total Public segment Net sales of $1,851 million, 8.7 percent lower than 2021. Public results were driven by decreased Net sales to Education customers of 30.9 percent. Net sales to Government and Healthcare customers increased by 13.5 percent and 8.1 percent, respectively.
• Net sales for CDW's UK and Canadian operations, combined as "Other" for financial reporting purposes, of $680 million, 2.7 percent lower than 2021.

Gross profit was $1,181 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $976 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 21.1 percent. Gross profit margin was 21.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus 17.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in Gross profit margin was primarily driven by more favorable product mix and rate and a higher mix of netted down revenues, as well as increased Net sales and margins on services as a result of the recent business acquisitions.

Total selling and administrative expenses, including advertising expense, were $735 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $636 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 15.4 percent. This increase was primarily driven by higher payroll expenses consistent with higher Gross profit and higher coworker count, including the impact of the acquisition of Sirius Computer Solutions ("Sirius"), and higher intangible asset amortization from the acquisition of Sirius, partially offset by lower acquisition costs.

Operating income was $447 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $339 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 31.6 percent. Non-GAAP operating income was $523 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $425 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 23.2 percent. Non-GAAP operating income margin was 9.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus 7.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Net interest expense was $59 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $43 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 36.9 percent. The increase was primarily driven by additional interest expense from the $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued on December 1, 2021, the net proceeds of which were used to fund the acquisition of Sirius.

The effective tax rate was 24.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 25.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021, which resulted in tax expense of $94 million and $72 million, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to lower non-deductible expenses, partially offset by lower excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation and higher state taxes.

Net income was $287 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $215 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 33.4 percent. Non-GAAP net income was $343 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $285 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 20.3 percent.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 137 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 138 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.09, compared to $1.57 for the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 33.1 percent. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.50, compared to $2.08 for the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 20.6 percent.

Full Year 2022 Highlights:

Total Net sales in 2022 were $23,749 million, compared to $20,821 million in 2021, an increase of 14.1 percent. This increase includes the contribution from the acquisition of Sirius which closed on December 1, 2021. There were 254 selling days for both the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Net sales on a constant currency basis increased 15.2 percent. Currency impact to Net sales growth was driven by unfavorable translation of the British pound and Canadian dollar to US dollar. Full year Net sales performance included:

• Total Corporate segment Net sales of $10,350 million, 26.5 percent higher than 2021.
• Total Small Business segment Net sales of $1,939 million, 3.7 percent higher than 2021.
• Total Public segment Net sales of $8,551 million, 4.5 percent higher than 2021. Public results were driven by an increase in Net sales to Government and Healthcare customers of 19.4 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively. Net sales to Education customers decreased 11.9 percent.
• Net sales for CDW's UK and Canadian operations, combined as "Other" for financial reporting purposes, of $2,908 million, 12.4 percent higher than 2021.

Gross profit was $4,687 million in 2022, compared to $3,569 million for 2021, representing an increase of 31.3 percent. Gross profit margin was 19.7 percent in 2022 versus 17.1 percent in 2021. The increase in Gross profit margin was primarily driven by more favorable product mix and rate and a higher mix of netted down revenues, as well as increased Net sales and margins on services as a result of the recent business acquisitions.

Total selling and administrative expenses were $2,951 million in 2022, compared to $2,150 million in 2021, representing an increase of 37.3 percent. This increase was primarily driven by higher payroll expenses consistent with higher Gross profit and higher coworker count, including the impact of the acquisition of Sirius, and higher intangible asset amortization from the acquisition of Sirius.

Operating income was $1,735 million in 2022, compared to $1,419 million in 2021, representing an increase of 22.3 percent. Non-GAAP operating income was $2,051 million in 2022, compared to $1,645 million for 2021, representing an increase of 24.6 percent. Non-GAAP operating income margin was 8.6 percent and 7.9 percent for 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net interest expense was $236 million in 2022, compared to $151 million in 2021, representing an increase of 56.2 percent. The increase was primarily driven by additional interest expense from the $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued on December 1, 2021, the net proceeds of which were used to fund the acquisition of Sirius.

The effective tax rate was 25.1 percent in 2022, compared to 23.8 percent in 2021, which resulted in tax expense of $373 million and $309 million, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to lower excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation, partially offset by a prior year discrete deferred tax expense as a result of an increase in the UK corporate tax rate effective in 2023.

Net income was $1,115 million in 2022, compared to $989 million in 2021, representing an increase of 12.7 percent. Non-GAAP net income was $1,342 million in 2022, compared to $1,119 million in 2021, representing an increase of 19.9 percent.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 137 million in 2022, compared to 141 million in 2021. Net income per diluted share in 2022 was $8.13, compared to $7.04 in 2021, representing an increase of 15.6 percent. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share in 2022 was $9.79, compared to $7.97 in 2021, representing an increase of 22.9 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP operating income excludes, among other things, charges related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, equity-based compensation and related payroll taxes, and acquisition and integration expenses. Non-GAAP operating income margin is defined as Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of Net sales. Non-GAAP net income excludes, among other things, charges related to acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, and the associated tax effects of each. Net sales growth on a constant currency basis is defined as Net sales growth excluding the impact of foreign currency translation on Net sales compared to the prior period. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for the net change in accounts payable-inventory financing and other financed purchases.

Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Net sales growth on a constant currency basis and Free cash flow are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance or financial condition that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP.

CDW believes Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP net income and Net sales growth on a constant currency basis provide analysts, investors and management with helpful information regarding the underlying operating performance of CDW's business, as they remove the impact of items that management believes are not reflective of underlying operating performance. CDW uses these measures to evaluate period-over-period performance as management believes they provide a more comparable measure of the underlying business. We also present Free cash flow as we believe this measure provides more information regarding our liquidity and capital resources. Certain non-GAAP financial measures are also used to determine certain components of performance-based compensation.

CDW's annual targets are provided on a non-GAAP basis because certain reconciling items are dependent on future events that either cannot be controlled, such as currency impacts or interest rates, or reliably predicted because they are not part of CDW's routine activities, such as refinancing activities or acquisition and integration expenses.

The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable most comparable US GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures used by CDW may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
