CDW Corporation (NASDAQ:CDW), a leading multi-brand provider of information technology solutions to business, government, education and healthcare customers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, today announced third quarter 2021 results. CDW also announced the approval by its Board of Directors of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 to be paid on December 10, 2021 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 24, 2021. It is the eighth consecutive year that CDW has increased its dividend since its 2013 IPO.

"This quarter's record Net sales performance and excellent profitability reinforces confidence in our strategy for growth, once again highlighting the strength of our business model and the combined power of our diverse customer end markets and broad product and solutions portfolio," said Christine A. Leahy, president and chief executive officer, CDW. "Customers continue to turn to CDW as a trusted advisor with the breadth, depth, expertise and scale to deliver customer-centric outcomes across the full technology stack and lifecycle. I am extremely proud of the commitment, agility and resolve of our coworkers, who successfully delivered customer outcomes in a supply constrained environment."

"Strong operating results were amplified by share repurchases, delivering a 16 percent increase in Non-GAAP net income per diluted share," said Albert J. Miralles, chief financial officer, CDW. "Given this quarter's results and our expectations for the balance of the year, we now expect 2021 constant currency Non-GAAP net income per diluted share growth in the high-teens."

"We expect to exceed our 2021 outlook to outpace US IT market growth by 200 to 300 basis points on a constant currency basis. We will continue to execute our strategy, invest in the business, and be laser-focused on meeting the needs of our more than 250,000 customers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada and remaining the partner of choice for more than 1,000 leading and emerging technology brands as the technology market continues to evolve," concluded Leahy.

Third Quarter of 2021 Highlights:

Total Net sales in the third quarter of 2021 were $5,300 million, compared to $4,756 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 11.4 percent. There were 64 selling days for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Net sales growth on a constant currency basis increased 10.7 percent. Currency impact to Net sales growth was driven by favorable translation of the Canadian dollar and British pound to US dollar. Third quarter Net sales performance included:

Total Corporate segment Net sales of $2,067 million, 24.5 percent higher than 2020.
Total Small Business segment Net sales of $467 million, 38.6 percent higher than 2020.
Total Public segment Net sales of $2,154 million, 6.1 percent lower than 2020. Public results were driven by a decrease in Net sales to Government customers of 32.9 percent. Net sales to Healthcare and Education customers increased 30.9 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively.
Net sales for CDW's UK and Canadian operations, combined as "Other" for financial reporting purposes, were $612 million, 31.4 percent higher than 2020.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2021 was $915 million, compared to $826 million for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 10.8 percent. Gross profit margin was 17.3 percent in the third quarter of 2021 versus 17.4 percent in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in Gross profit margin was primarily driven by lower product margin, partially offset by an increase in the mix of net service contract revenue, primarily Software as a Service, and increased Net sales and margins on professional services.

Total selling and administrative expenses were $529 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $508 million in the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 4.1 percent. The increase was primarily due to higher sales payroll expenses consistent with higher Gross profit, higher coworker count and higher performance-based compensation consistent with higher attainment against financial goals, partially offset by lower intangible asset amortization in 2021.

Operating income was $386 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $318 million in the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 21.6 percent. Non-GAAP operating income was $435 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $386 million in the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 12.6 percent. The Non-GAAP operating income margin was 8.2 percent for the third quarter of 2021 versus 8.1 percent for the third quarter of 2020.

Net interest expense was $36 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $40 million in the third quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 9.4 percent. The decrease was primarily driven by the lower interest rate from the August 2020 senior notes refinancing and lower amortization on interest rate cap premiums.

The effective tax rate was 23.9 percent in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 22.7 percent in the third quarter of 2020, which resulted in tax expense of $84 million and $57 million, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to certain tax benefits incurred in the prior year with no similar activity in the current quarter, partially offset by a discrete deferred tax expense to reflect the increase in the UK corporate tax rate that was effective in the prior year and higher excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation during the current quarter.

Net income was $267 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $193 million in the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 38.0 percent. Net income in the third quarter of 2020 included a $27 million net loss on extinguishment of long-term debt, as reported within Other income (expense), net as a result of the August 2020 senior notes refinancing. Non-GAAP net income was $298 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $265 million in the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 12.3 percent.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 139 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 145 million for the third quarter of 2020. Net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2021 was $1.91, compared to $1.33 for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 43.2 percent. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2021 was $2.13, compared to $1.83 for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 16.4 percent.

Year to Date 2021 Highlights:

Total Net sales for the first nine months ("year to date") of 2021 were $15,284 million, compared to $13,511 million for year to date 2020, an increase of 13.1 percent. There were 191 and 192 selling days for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On an average daily sales basis, Net sales growth increased 13.7 percent and Net sales growth on a constant currency average daily sales basis increased 12.6 percent. Currency impact to Net sales growth was driven by favorable translation of the Canadian dollar and British pound to US dollar. The year to date Net sales performance, on an average daily sales basis, included:

Total Corporate segment Net sales of $5,856 million, 14.8 percent higher than 2020.
Total Small Business segment Net sales of $1,383 million, 34.9 percent higher than 2020.
Total Public segment Net sales of $6,156 million, 5.9 percent higher than 2020. Public results were driven by an increase in Net sales to Education and Healthcare customers of 30.6 percent and 10.4 percent, respectively. Net sales to Government customers decreased 24.8 percent.
Net sales for CDW's UK and Canadian operations, combined as "Other" for financial reporting purposes, were $1,889 million, 25.6 percent higher than 2020.

Gross profit for year to date 2021 was $2,593 million, compared to $2,329 million for 2020, representing an increase of 11.3 percent. Gross profit margin was 17.0 percent for year to date 2021 versus 17.2 percent for 2020. The decrease in Gross profit margin was primarily driven by lower product margin, including notebook mix and rate, and overlapping higher margin configuration services in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in the mix of net service contract revenue, primarily Software as a Service, and increased Net sales and margins on professional services.

Total selling and administrative expenses were $1,513 million for year to date 2021, compared to $1,482 million for 2020, representing an increase of 2.1 percent. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll expenses consistent with higher Gross profit, higher coworker count, and higher performance-based compensation consistent with higher attainment against financial goals, partially offset by lower intangible asset amortization and lower bad debt expense.

Operating income was $1,080 million for year to date 2021, compared to $847 million in 2020, representing an increase of 27.5 percent. Non-GAAP operating income was $1,221 million for year to date 2021, compared to $1,028 million for 2020, representing an increase of 18.7 percent. The Non-GAAP operating income margin was 8.0 percent for year to date 2021 versus 7.6 percent for 2020.

Net interest expense was $108 million for year to date 2021, compared to $118 million for 2020, representing a decrease of 8.7 percent. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower effective interest rate on the Term Loan in 2021 compared to 2020, the lower interest rate from the August 2020 senior notes refinancing and lower amortization on interest rate cap premiums, partially offset by additional interest expense on the new issuance of April 2020 senior notes.

The effective tax rate was 23.5 percent for year to date 2021, compared to 22.2 percent for 2020, which resulted in tax expense of $237 million and $157 million, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to a less favorable tax rate impact of excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation and a discrete benefit from a state tax refund claim recorded in the same period of the prior year.

Net income was $773 million for year to date 2021, compared to $550 million for 2020, representing an increase of 40.5 percent. Net income for year to date 2021 included a $36 million gain from the sale of an equity method investment and the prior year included a $27 million net loss on extinguishment of long-term debt, as reported within Other income (expense), net as a result of the August 2020 senior notes refinancing. Non-GAAP net income was $834 million for year to date 2021, compared to $691 million for 2020, representing an increase of 20.7 percent.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 141 million for year to date 2021, compared to 145 million for 2020. Net income per diluted share for year to date 2021 was $5.47, compared to $3.80 for 2020, representing an increase of 43.8 percent. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for year to date 2021 was $5.89, compared to $4.77 for 2020, representing an increase of 23.5 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP operating income excludes, among other things, charges related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, equity-based compensation and related payroll taxes, and acquisition and integration expenses. Non-GAAP operating income margin is defined as Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of Net sales. Non-GAAP income before income taxes and Non-GAAP net income exclude, among other things, charges related to acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, and the associated tax effects of each. Net sales growth on a constant currency basis is defined as Net sales growth excluding the impact of foreign currency translation on Net sales compared to the prior period.

Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP income before income taxes, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share and Net sales growth on a constant currency basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance or financial position that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP.

CDW believes these measures provide analysts, investors and management with helpful information regarding the underlying operating performance of CDW's business, as they remove the impact of items that management believes are not reflective of underlying operating performance. CDW uses these measures to evaluate period-over-period performance as management believes they provide a more comparable measure of the underlying business. Certain non-GAAP financial measures are also used to determine certain components of performance-based compensation.

CDW's annual targets are provided on a Non-GAAP basis because certain reconciling items are dependent on future events that either cannot be controlled, such as currency impacts or interest rates, or reliably predicted because they are not part of CDW's routine activities, such as refinancing activities or acquisition and integration expenses.

The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable most comparable US GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures used by CDW may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
