Global Business Optimization Program
Tech Data also announced a Global Business Optimization Program (“GBO Program”) designed to create a more agile, and cost-efficient organization that is structured for sustainable, long-term profitable growth. Components of the GBO Program include:
• | Enhancing the Company’s regional go-to-market models to deliver even greater value to channel partners; |
• | Digitizing processes to drive a more responsive, empowered and nimble work environment; and |
• | Driving productivity improvements through increased centralization and standardization throughout the global organization |
The GBO Program is expected to result in annual cost savings of $70 million to $80 million, of which approximately half will be reinvested to accelerate the Company’s strategic priorities. To achieve these cost savings, the Company expects to incur one-time costs of $70 million to $80 million over the next 18 to 24 months. Through July 31, 2018, the Company incurred GBO Program-related costs of approximately $18 million, which are included in acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses.

“Fueled by strong demand for Endpoint Solutions, Q2 worldwide sales grew 10 percent to $8.9 billion — the high end of our guidance range,’ said Rich Hume, chief executive officer. “Non-GAAP earnings per share improved 16 percent from the year-ago quarter to $2.01, however, came in at the lower end of our expected range largely due to product mix. The strength in high-velocity sales generated exceptionally strong cash from operations of $561 million and produced a return on invested capital of 11 percent. Looking ahead, we will continue to build on our strengths – the powerful combination of our global scope with local expertise; strong operations; valued channel partner relationships; and dedicated colleagues, as we invest in both our people and our business. The Global Business Optimization Program we announced today will enable us to accelerate our strategic priorities and set a new standard in our industry by creating a more efficient and agile organization, and to secure our next wave of sustainable, profitable growth.”
