"We are pleased to report Q3 results that were in line with our expectations and that continue to highlight the enhanced earnings power and cash flow profile of the new Tech Data," said Robert M. Dutkowsky, chairman and chief executive officer. "For the first time in Tech Data's history, quarterly sales surpassed $9 billion, and through pricing discipline and strong cost controls, we delivered solid non-GAAP earnings per share. In addition, we generated $70 million of cash from operations, paid down $350 million of our debt, reflecting our strong commitment to deleverage the company, and earned an adjusted return on invested capital for the trailing twelve-month period well in excess of our weighted average cost of capital. We continue on our path to building the IT distributor of the future, one with breadth, specialized skills and extensive capabilities to help our customers and vendor partners capitalize on growth opportunities across the computing continuum."

Business Outlook

  • For the quarter ending January 31, 2018, the Company anticipates worldwide net sales to be in the range of $10.25 billion to $10.80 billion.
  • For the quarter ending January 31, 2018, the Company anticipates EPS to be in the range of $2.39 to $2.69 and non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $3.35 to $3.65.
  • This guidance assumes weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 38.5 million and an effective tax rate in the range of 29 percent to 31 percent.
