Net sales for the second quarter ended July 31, 2005, were $4.8 billion, an increase of 5.5 percent from $4.6 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and a decrease of 4.9 percent from the first quarter of the current fiscal year. Operating income, based upon Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), for the second quarter was $13.8 million, or .29 percent of net sales, a decrease from $49.9 million, or 1.09 percent of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 include $19.3 million of charges related to the company’s EMEA restructuring program announced in May 2005 and $2.1 million of consulting costs incurred in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and export sales to Africa). Excluding the restructuring charges and consulting costs, operating income, on a non-GAAP basis, was $35.2 million, or .73 percent of net sales. As reported earlier this month, the company’s second-quarter operating performance was affected by a lower-than-expected gross margin, primarily in the EMEA region.

The company reported a net loss, on a GAAP basis, of $(59.4) million, or $(1.02) per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to net income of $30.7 million, or $.52 per diluted share, for the prior year period. In addition to the restructuring charges and consulting costs noted above, results for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 included a $56.0 million non-cash charge to increase the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets related to the EMEA operations. Excluding the noted charges and costs, net income, on a non-GAAP basis, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 totaled $16.1 million, or $.27 per diluted share.

“We generated industry-leading sales growth and operating results in the Americas for the second quarter while implementing our restructuring program to improve our performance in EMEA,” commented Steven A. Raymund, Tech Data’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Although the challenges within our EMEA operation have impacted our overall financial results, we are confident that our restructuring program will deliver cost savings, efficiencies and operational improvements.”

Financial Summary

• Net sales in the Americas during the second quarter were $2.3 billion, or 48 percent of worldwide net sales, while net sales in EMEA totaled $2.5 billion, or 52 percent of worldwide net sales. The Americas’ net sales increased 13.2 percent while net sales in EMEA decreased 0.9 percent (2.0 percent on a local currency basis) over the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Compared to the first quarter of the current fiscal year, net sales in the Americas increased 3.4 percent and in EMEA decreased 11.6 percent (6.2 percent on a local currency basis).

• Gross margin for the second quarter was 5.22 percent of net sales, a decrease from 5.84 percent of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The year-over-year decline in gross margin was primarily attributable to continued challenges in the company’s EMEA operations and to a much lesser extent, changes in customer and product mix in the Americas.

• Second-quarter selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $218.9 million, or 4.53 percent of net sales compared to $217.7 million, or 4.75 percent of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Excluding the $2.1 million of consulting costs incurred in the EMEA region, SG&A totaled $216.8 million, or 4.49 percent of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The decline in SG&A as a percent of net sales was the result of continued cost-saving initiatives and productivity improvements.

• Second-quarter operating income in the Americas was 1.60 percent of net sales compared to 1.62 percent of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. In EMEA, the company reported an operating loss of (.95) percent of net sales compared to operating income of .66 percent of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding restructuring charges and consulting costs, the company had an operating loss of (.09) percent of net sales in EMEA. The decline reflects the lower-than-expected gross margin.

• Total debt to total capital was 16 percent at July 31, 2005, compared to 18 percent at July 31, 2004.

• During the second quarter, the company purchased 978 thousand shares of common stock at a cost of $35.2 million under its $100 million stock repurchase program. Year-to-date, the company has purchased a total of 1.2 million shares under the program at a cost of $45.2 million.

EMEA Restructuring Program

The company recorded $19.3 million of charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 related to its EMEA restructuring program which were comprised of $10.6 million related to workforce reductions and $8.7 million for facility consolidations and the write-off of fixed assets. These actions are expected to result in annualized savings of approximately the same amount. The program and related actions are designed to better align the EMEA operating cost structure with the current business environment. Excluding any consulting costs, the company expects to incur total charges in the range of $40 million to $50 million related to the EMEA restructuring program. Efforts related to the restructuring are anticipated to generate annualized savings in the same range.

Six-month Results

Net sales for the six-month period ended July 31, 2005, were $9.9 billion, an increase of 5.4 percent from $9.4 billion in the six-month period ended July 31, 2004. On a regional basis, net sales in the Americas represented 46 percent of net sales, and increased 11.7 percent to $4.6 billion from $4.1 billion in the prior-year period. EMEA represented 54 percent of net sales, and increased 0.4 percent (decreased 3.2 percent on a local currency basis) to $5.31 billion from $5.28 billion for the six-month period ended July 31, 2004.

Gross margin for the six-month period was 5.34 percent, down from 5.77 percent in the prior-year comparable period. As noted above, the year-over-year decline in gross margin was primarily attributable to the EMEA operations and to a much lesser extent, changes in customer and product mix in the Americas.

Operating income, on a GAAP basis, for the six-month period ended July 31, 2005, was $67.8 million, or .68 percent of net sales, compared with $103.6 million, or 1.10 percent of net sales, in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding restructuring charges and consulting costs recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2006, operating income for the six-month period ended July 31, 2005 totaled $89.2 million, or .90 percent of net sales.

For the six-month period ended July 31, 2005, the company incurred a net loss of $(25.9) million, or $(0.44) per diluted share, on a GAAP basis, compared with net income of $65.3 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the restructuring program charges, consulting costs and the $56.0 million charge to increase the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, net income was $49.7 million, or $.84 per diluted share for the six-month period ended July 31, 2005.
