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. The Company manages its operations in three geographic segments: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

On November 12, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as subsequently amended on November 27, 2019 (the ''Merger Agreement''), with the affiliates of certain funds (the “Apollo Funds”), managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”), a leading global alternative investment manager. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the affiliates of Apollo Funds will acquire all the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (other than shares held by the Company as treasury stock or held by certain affiliates of the Apollo Funds) for $145 per share in cash (the “Merger”).

On February 12, 2020, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders. At such meeting, the Merger Agreement was approved and adopted by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon. The Company has received all regulatory approvals necessary to complete the Merger, except for the approval of the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board (“AFIRB”), which has the matter under consideration. The Company and Apollo are still targeting a closing in the first half of calendar year 2020, although this timing may shift based on the timeline for receipt of Australian regulatory approval. The Company and Apollo expect to proceed with closing the transaction promptly after the final approval from the AFIRB is received, taking into account the timing requirements of the Merger Agreement, including the Marketing Period (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tech Data and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, 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. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2020 and its consolidated statements of income, comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.

The Company’s 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 the Company's quarterly operating results. Historical seasonal variations have included an increase in European demand during the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter and decreased demand in other fiscal quarters. The seasonal trend in Europe typically results in greater operating leverage, and therefore, lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales in the region and on a consolidated basis during the second half of the Company's fiscal year, particularly in the Company's fourth quarter.

Furthermore, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the global economy, disrupting the financial markets and creating increasing volatility, impacting customer demand and impeding global supply chains. The Company cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations and financial condition, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity and duration of the pandemic, the effect on its customers and customer demand and the length of the restrictions and closures imposed by various governments. Therefore, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ended January 31, 2021.

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 and 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 11 – Segment Information includes service revenues, which are not a significant component of total revenue and are aggregated within the respective geographies.

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 the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 (as a percent of consolidated net sales):

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable for future expected credit losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make required payments. In estimating the required allowance, the Company takes into consideration historical credit losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current conditions as well as changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates or gross domestic product growth. Expected credit losses are estimated on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist using an age-based reserve model. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis.

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 April 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $569.0 million and $739.2 million, respectively, of accounts receivable sold to and held by financial institutions under these agreements. During the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, discount fees recorded under these facilities were $3.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively. These discount fees are included as a component of "other expense (income), net" in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

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

In December 2019, the FASB issued an accounting standard which simplifies and clarifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance. The accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying existing guidance to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions that are expected to be affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The amendments in the guidance are elective and were effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.
