EX-99.1 2 a5561552ex991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Arrow Electronics Increases Fourth Quarter EPS Guidance MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2007--Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) announced that it has raised its financial guidance for the quarter ending December 31, 2007. Based upon preliminary data, the company expects revenue to be between $4.25 and $4.45 billion with earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding any charges but including an estimate for amortization of intangible assets of $.02 to $.03, to be in the range of $.92 to $.97, an increase of 28 percent to 35 percent from last year's fourth quarter. The company stated previously that it anticipated sales to be between $4.15 and $4.45 billion with earnings per share, on a diluted basis, in the range of $.90 to $.95 for the quarter ending December 31, 2007. The company has learned that certain quarter-to-date sales data had been selectively disclosed by an employee and, accordingly, made the determination that the most prudent course of action under these unusual circumstances was to publicly update its guidance for the quarter ending December 31, 2007. Arrow Electronics (www.arrow.com) is a global provider of products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and computer products.
