February 11, 2015 4:00 PM

TEMPE, Ariz., Feb. 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Insight Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: NSIT) (the "Company") today reported results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.

Results for the Quarter:

Results for the Year:

"We closed out 2014 with another quarter of solid sales execution in each of our operating segments. In North America, we delivered double digit sales growth in our software and services categories and executed well against our hiring plans in our sales organization, and in our EMEA business, we reported significant earnings growth year over year by driving nice top line growth across our leaner cost structure. The progress we made in 2014 to grow our sales force in North America and improve our execution in EMEA will serve us well heading into 2015," stated Ken Lamneck, President and Chief Executive Officer. "I am optimistic about the opportunities available to us to bring value to our clients, partners, teammates and shareholders in 2015 and beyond. The IT industry is healthy, and we believe that our global scale, deep data center, software and services capabilities position us well to compete in the marketplace this year," added Lamneck.

The Company refers to changes in net sales and gross profit in EMEA and APAC excluding the effects of foreign currency movements. In computing these changes and percentages, the Company compares the current year amount as translated into U.S. dollars under the applicable accounting standards to the prior year amount in local currency translated into U.S. dollars utilizing the weighted average translation rate for the current period.

Net of tax amounts referenced herein were computed using the statutory tax rate for the taxing jurisdictions in the operating segment in which the related expenses were recorded, adjusted for the effects of valuation allowances on net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.

* A tabular reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company's Board of Directors has approved an additional authorization to repurchase up to $75 million of the Company's common stock. This $75 million is in addition to the approximately $17 million remaining under a previous authorization. The Company's share repurchases will be made on the open market, subject to Rule 10b-18 or in privately negotiated transactions, through block trades, through 10b5-1 plans or otherwise, at management's discretion. The amount of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases will be based on market conditions, working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. The Company intends to retire the repurchased shares.

GUIDANCE

For the full year of 2015, the Company expects to deliver top line growth in the low single digits in U.S. dollars. The Company also expects diluted earnings per share for the full year 2015 to be between $2.10 and $2.20.

This outlook reflects:

This outlook excludes severance and restructuring expenses.

CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST

The Company will host a conference call and live web cast today at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2014 results of operations. A live web cast of the conference call (in listen-only mode) will be available on the Company's web site at http://nsit.client.shareholder.com/events.cfm, and a replay of the web cast will be available on the Company's web site for a limited time following the call.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude severance and restructuring expenses in 2014 and 2013, non-cash impairment and accelerated depreciation charges related to our Illinois real estate assets held for sale in the year ended December 31, 2014 and the tax effect of these charges. The Company excludes these charges when internally evaluating earnings from operations, tax expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the Company and earnings from operations for each of the Company's operating segments. These non-GAAP measures are used to evaluate financial performance against budgeted amounts, to calculate incentive compensation, to assist in forecasting future performance and to compare the Company's results to those of the Company's competitors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency, facilitate comparisons to prior periods and the Company's competitors' results and assist in forecasting performance for future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
