Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "company") were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at and for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Quarter End

The company operates on a quarterly calendar that closes on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, except for the fourth quarter, which closes on December 31, 2021.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on previously reported amounts.

Note B – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired.

Goodwill of companies acquired, allocated to the company’s business segments, is as follows:
  Global

The company has considered the current credit condition of its customers in estimating the expected credit losses and has not experienced significant changes in customers’ payment trends or significant deterioration in customers’ credit risk as of July 3, 2021. The global economic impact from COVID-19 may adversely affect the credit condition of some customers. The impact of COVID-19 on customers’ credit condition is highly uncertain and will largely depend on the outcome of future events, which could cause credit losses to increase.

During 2020, the company entered into an EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) asset securitization program under which it will continuously sell its interest in designated pools of trade accounts receivables of certain of its subsidiaries in the EMEA region, at a discount, to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions and conduits administered by such unaffiliated financial institutions ("unaffiliated financial institutions") on a monthly basis. The company may sell up to €400,000 under the EMEA asset securitization program, which matures in January 2023, subject to extension in accordance with its terms. The program is conducted through Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V., an entity structured to be bankruptcy remote. The company is deemed the primary beneficiary of Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. as the company has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivables into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. is included in the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are excluded from “Accounts receivable, net” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets and cash receipts are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The purchase price is paid in cash when the receivables are sold. Certain unsold receivables held by Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. are pledged as collateral to unaffiliated financial institutions. These unsold receivables are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The company continues servicing the receivables, which were sold, and in exchange receives a servicing fee under the program. The company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the company’s consolidated balance sheets as the company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.

During the second quarter and first six months of 2021 and 2020, the company sold approximately $545,221 and $1,062,263, and $448,913 and $977,366, respectively, of accounts receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under the EMEA asset securitization program.

Other amounts related to the EMEA asset securitization program consist of the following:
July 3,
2021 		December 31,
2020
Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions that were uncollected $ 400,684  $ 397,914 
Collateralized accounts receivable held by Arrow EMEA funding Corp B.V. 655,451  551,843 

Any accounts receivables held by Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings if there are outstanding balances under the EMEA asset securitization program. The assets of the special purpose entity cannot be used by the company for general corporate purposes.

(Unaudited)
Additionally, the financial obligations of Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. to the unaffiliated financial institution under the program are limited to the assets it owns and there is no recourse to the company for receivables that are uncollectible as a result of the insolvency or inability to pay of the account debtors.

The EMEA asset securitization program includes terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. As of July 3, 2021, the company was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

Note E – Debt

Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt, consists of the following:

Other short-term borrowings 7,641  27,797 
  $ 356,986  $ 158,633 

Other short-term borrowings are primarily utilized to support working capital requirements. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 1.67% and 1.73% at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The company has $200,000 in uncommitted lines of credit. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted lines of credit at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020. These borrowings are provided on a short-term basis and the maturity is agreed upon between the company and the lender. The lines had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 1.50% and 1.53% at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The company has a commercial paper program and the maximum aggregate balance of commercial paper outstanding may not exceed the borrowing capacity of $1,200,000. The company had no outstanding borrowings under this program at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The program had a weighted-average effective interest rate of .28% and .30% at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The carrying amount of the company’s short-term borrowings in various countries, revolving credit facility, 3.50% notes due April 2022, North American asset securitization program, commercial paper, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

The company has a $2,000,000 revolving credit facility maturing in December 2023. This facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes, including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term indebtedness, acquisitions, and as support for the company’s commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus a spread (1.18% at July 3, 2021), which is based on the company’s credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.24% at July 3, 2021. The facility fee, which is based on the company’s credit ratings, was .20% of the total borrowing capacity at July 3, 2021. The company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The company has a North American asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. In March 2021, the company amended its asset securitization program and, among other things, increased its borrowing capacity from $1,200,000 to $1,250,000 and extended its term to mature in March 2024. The program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation (“AFC”), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The North American asset securitization program does not qualify for sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread (.45% at July 3, 2021), or an effective interest rate of .56% at July 3, 2021. The facility fee is .40% of the total borrowing capacity.

The company had $135,000 in outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program at July 3, 2021, which was included in “Long-term debt” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. There was no outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program at December 31, 2020. Total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $2,168,900 and $2,207,700 were held by AFC and were included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Any accounts receivable held by AFC would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings before repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program.

Both the revolving credit facility and North American asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. As of July 3, 2021, the company was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

During March 2021, the company repaid $130,860 principal amount of its 5.125% notes due March 2021.

During April 2020, the company repaid $209,366 principal amount of its 6.00% notes due April 2020.

In the normal course of business, certain of the company’s subsidiaries have agreements to sell, without recourse, selected trade receivables to financial institutions. The company does not retain financial or legal interests in these receivables, and, accordingly they are accounted for as sales of the related receivables, and the receivables are removed from the company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Note F – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1    Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2    Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3    Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The following table presents assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at July 3, 2021:

(a)    Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months.
(b)    The company has an 8.4% equity ownership interest in Marubun Corporation and a portfolio of mutual funds with quoted market prices. The company recorded an unrealized gain of $3,840 and $5,241 for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, on equity securities held at the end of the quarter. The company recorded an unrealized gain of $4,964 and unrealized loss of $5,031 for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, on equity securities held at the end of the quarter.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (see Note B). The company tests these assets for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist or at least annually if indefinite lived.

Derivative Instruments

The company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, for purposes other than trading. Certain derivative instruments are designated at inception as hedges and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked-to-market each reporting period with any unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps

The company manages the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuances by entering into various forward-starting interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value of interest rate swaps are recorded in the shareholders’ equity section in the company’s consolidated balance sheets in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and will be reclassified into income over the life of the anticipated debt issuance or in the period the hedged forecasted cash flows are deemed no longer probable to occur. Gains and losses on interest rate swaps are recorded within the line item “Interest and other financing expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative based on observable inputs, including interest rate curves and credit spreads.

At July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the company had the following outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges:
Trade Date Maturity Date Notional Amount Weighted Average Interest Rate Date Range of Forecasted Transaction
April 2020 December 2024 $300,000 0.97% Jan 2023 - Dec 2025
May 2020 June 2022 $300,000 0.90% Jan 2021 - Jun 2023

In May 2019, the company entered into a series of ten-year forward-starting interest rate swaps (the “2019 swaps”). The 2019 swaps were designated as cash flow hedges managing the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuance by June 2020. In February 2020, the company determined that certain of the forecasted cash flows were no longer probable and de-designated the hedging relationship. In February 2020, the company re-designated the 2019 swaps in a new cash flow hedge to manage the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuance by June 2023. In May 2020, the company terminated the 2019 swaps for a cash payment of $48,378, which was reported in the “cash flows from financing activities” section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. During the first six months of 2020, losses of $1,194, before taxes, were reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (“AOCI”) to “Interest and other financing expense, net” related to forecasted cash flows that were deemed no longer probable to occur. At July 3, 2021 losses of $34,751, net of taxes, remained in AOCI related to the 2019 swaps.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The company’s transactions in its foreign operations are denominated primarily in the following currencies: Euro, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, Canadian Dollar, and British Pound. The company enters into foreign exchange forward, option, or swap contracts (collectively, the “foreign exchange contracts”) to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures resulting from inventory purchases and sales and mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions. Foreign exchange contracts generally have terms of no more than six months. Gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized when the underlying future purchase or sale is recognized or when the corresponding asset or liability is revalued. The company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. The risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts is estimated using foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quotes by third-party financial institutions. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts inclusive of foreign exchange contracts designated as a net investment hedge at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $1,109,433 and $914,930, respectively.

Gains and losses related to non-designated foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded in "Cost of sales" in the company’s consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange contracts designated as

cash flow hedges are recorded in "Cost of sales," "Selling, general, and administrative expenses," and "Interest and other financing expense, net" based upon the nature of the underlying hedged transaction, in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

At July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the company had foreign exchange contracts to sell Euro and buy United States Dollars, with various maturity dates as noted in the table below:
Maturity Date Notional Amount
March 2023 EUR 50,000
September 2024 EUR 50,000
April 2025 EUR 100,000
January 2028 EUR 100,000
Total EUR 300,000

The contracts above have been designated as a net investment hedge which is in place to hedge a portion of the company’s net investment in subsidiaries with euro-denominated net assets. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated as net investment hedges are recorded in “foreign currency translation adjustment” (“CTA”) within “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are included in “Interest and other financing expense, net” in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Note J – Contingencies

Environmental Matters

In connection with the purchase of Wyle Electronics ("Wyle") in August 2000, the company acquired certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle, including Wyle's indemnification obligations to the purchasers of its Wyle Laboratories division for environmental clean-up costs associated with any then existing contamination or violation of environmental regulations. Under the terms of the company's purchase of Wyle from the sellers, the sellers agreed to indemnify the company for certain costs associated with the Wyle environmental obligations, among other things. In 2012, the company entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers pursuant to which the sellers paid $110,000 and the company released the sellers from their indemnification obligation. As part of the settlement agreement the company accepted responsibility for any potential subsequent costs incurred related to the Wyle matters. The company is aware of two Wyle Laboratories facilities (in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California) at which contaminated groundwater was identified and require environmental remediation. In addition, the company was named as a defendant in several lawsuits related to the Norco facility and a third site in El Segundo, California which have been settled to the satisfaction of the parties.

The company expects these environmental liabilities to be resolved over an extended period of time. Costs are recorded for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing and extent of remediation, improvements in remediation technologies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Accordingly, the company cannot presently estimate the ultimate potential costs related to these sites until such time as a substantial portion of the investigation at the sites is completed and remedial action plans are developed and, in some instances, implemented. To the extent that future environmental costs exceed amounts currently accrued by the company, net income would be adversely impacted and such impact could be material.

Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses” and “Other liabilities” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. The company has determined that there is no amount within the environmental liability range that is a better estimate than any other amount, and therefore has recorded the accruals at the minimum amount of the ranges.

As successor-in-interest to Wyle, the company is the beneficiary of various Wyle insurance policies that covered liabilities arising out of operations at Norco and Huntsville. To date, the company has recovered approximately $42,000 from certain insurance carriers relating to environmental clean-up matters at the Norco and Huntsville sites. The company filed suit against two insurers regarding liabilities arising out of operations at Huntsville and reached a confidential settlement with one of the insurers during the third quarter of 2020. The resolution of this matter against the remaining insurer will likely take several years. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries related to the Norco and Huntsville environmental matters, as the realization of the claims for recovery are not deemed probable at this time.

Environmental Matters - Huntsville

In February 2015, the company and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) finalized and executed a consent decree in connection with the Huntsville, Alabama site. Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater is complete and has been approved by ADEM. Health-risk evaluations and a Corrective Action Development Plan were approved by ADEM in 2018, opening the way for pilot testing of on-site remediation in late 2019. Pilot testing is currently underway, and the extent and timing of future testing and further remediation procedures will be dependent on the outcome of the results of testing currently being performed. Approximately $7,500 was spent to date and the company currently anticipates no additional investigative and related expenditures. The cost of subsequent remediation at the site is estimated to be between $3,000 and $11,000.

Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.

Environmental Matters - Norco

In October 2003, the company entered into a consent decree with Wyle Laboratories and the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (“DTSC”) in connection with the Norco site. Subsequent to the decree, a Remedial Investigation Work Plan was approved by DTSC in April 2005, the required investigations were performed, and a final Remedial Investigation Report was submitted early in 2008. In 2008, a hydraulic containment system (the “HCS”) was installed as an interim remedial measure to capture and treat groundwater before it moves into the adjacent off-site area. In September 2013, the DTSC approved the final Remedial Action Plan (the “RAP”) for actions in five on-site areas and one off-site area. As of 2018, the remediation measures described in the RAP had been implemented and were being monitored. A Five Year Review (“FYR”) of the HCS submitted to DTSC in December 2016 found that while significant progress was made in on-site and off-site groundwater remediation, contaminants were not sufficiently reduced in a key off-site area identified in the RAP. This exception triggered the need for additional off-site remediation that began in 2018 and was completed in mid-2019. Routine progress monitoring of groundwater and soil gas continue on-site and off-site.

Approximately $77,000 was spent to date on remediation, project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities. The company currently estimates that these activities will give rise to an additional $4,700 to $17,000. Project management and regulatory oversight include costs incurred by project consultants for project management and costs billed by DTSC to provide regulatory oversight.

Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work under the RAP is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.

Other

In the second quarter and first six months of 2021, the company received $8,166 and $12,477, respectively, in settlement funds in connection with claims filed against certain manufacturers of aluminum, tantalum, and film capacitors who allegedly colluded to fix the price of capacitors from 2001 through 2014. These amounts were recorded within “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the company’s consolidated statements of operations. The company has related on-going disputes with other manufacturers and may receive additional funds in the future. The company is unable to estimate additional amounts that may be received in the future and as such has not recorded a receivable at this time.

During the second quarter of 2020, the company recorded reserves and other adjustments of approximately $32,700 primarily related to foreign tax and other loss contingencies. These reserves are principally associated with transactional taxes on activity from several prior years, not significant to any one year.

In 2019, the company determined that from 2015 to 2019 a limited number of non-executive employees, without first obtaining required authorization from the company or the United States government, had facilitated product shipments with an aggregate total invoiced value of approximately $4,770, to resellers for reexports to persons covered by the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 or other United States sanctions and export control laws. The company has voluntarily reported these activities to the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and the United States Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”), and conducted an internal investigation and terminated or disciplined the employees involved. BIS has closed its investigation and issued the company a warning letter without referring the matter for further proceedings. No penalties have been imposed by BIS. The company has cooperated fully and intends to continue to cooperate fully with OFAC with respect to its ongoing review, which may result in the imposition of penalties, which the company is currently not able to estimate.

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will materially impact the company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes "forward-looking statements," as the term is defined under the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are those statements which are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by forward-looking words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: potential adverse effects of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, including actions taken to contain or mitigate the impact of COVID-19, industry conditions, changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand, competition, other vagaries in the global components and the global enterprise computing solutions (“ECS”) markets, changes in relationships with key suppliers, increased profit margin pressure, changes in legal and regulatory matters, non-compliance with certain regulations, such as export, antitrust, and anti-corruption laws, foreign tax and other loss contingencies, and the company's ability to generate cash flow. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause Arrow Electronics, Inc.'s (the “company”) future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in other filings the company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements.

Overview

The company is a global provider of products, services, and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions. The company has one of the world’s broadest portfolios of product offerings available from leading electronic components and enterprise computing solutions suppliers, coupled with a range of services, solutions, and tools that help industrial and commercial customers introduce innovative products, reduce their time to market, and enhance their overall competitiveness. The company has two business segments, the global components business segment and the global ECS business segment. The company distributes electronic components to original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers through its global components business segment and provides enterprise computing solutions to value-added resellers, and managed service providers through its global ECS business segment. For the second quarter of 2021, approximately 77% of the company’s sales were from the global components business segment, and approximately 23% of the company’s sales were from the global ECS business segment.

The company’s financial objectives are to grow sales faster than the market, increase the markets served, grow profits faster than sales, and increase return on invested capital. To achieve its objectives, the company seeks to capture significant opportunities to grow across products, markets, and geographies. To supplement its organic growth strategy, the company continually evaluates strategic acquisitions to broaden its product and value-added service offerings, increase its market penetration, and expand its geographic reach.

Executive Summary

Consolidated sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 increased by 29.6% and 30.5%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increase for the second quarter of 2021 was driven by a 40.0% increase in the global components business segment sales and a 3.5% increase in the global ECS business segment sales. The increase for the first six months of 2021 was driven by a 40.8% increase in the global components business segment sales and a 4.8% increase in the global ECS business segment sales. Adjusted for the change in foreign currencies, non-GAAP consolidated sales increased 25.5% and 26.4% for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

The company reported net income attributable to shareholders of $240.6 million and $447.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with $132.8 million and $182.3 million in the year-earlier periods. The following items impacted the comparability of the company’s results:

Second quarters of 2021 and 2020:

•restructuring, integration, and other charges of $4.5 million in 2021 and $0.7 million in 2020;
•identifiable intangible asset amortization of $9.3 million in 2021 and $9.7 million in 2020;
•impairments of long-lived assets of $4.5 million in 2021 and $4.9 million in 2020;
23


•gains from wind down of business of $11.8 million in 2020;
•Arrow Financing Solutions (“AFS”) notes receivable reserves of $0.2 million in 2020; and
•net gain on investments of $6.7 million in 2021 and net gain on investments of $10.9 million in 2020.

First six months of 2021 and 2020:

•restructuring, integration, and other charges of $10.2 million in 2021 and $9.8 million in 2020;
•identifiable intangible asset amortization of $18.6 million in 2021 and $19.7 million in 2020;
•impairments of long-lived assets of $4.5 million in 2021 and $4.9 million in 2020;
•gains from wind down of business of $11.8 million in 2020;
•AFS notes receivable recoveries of $0.7 million in 2020;
•tax expense related to legislation changes of $3.6 million in 2020; and
•net gain on investments of $9.5 million in 2021 and net loss on investments of $5.9 million in 2020.

Excluding the aforementioned items, non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 increased to $249.3 million and $464.9 million, respectively, compared with $126.1 million and $205.0 million in the year-earlier periods. Net income in the second quarter of 2020 also included charges of approximately $32.7 million, net of tax, primarily related to foreign tax and other loss contingencies within the global ECS business.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to create significant macroeconomic uncertainty, volatility and disruption, including supply constraints, extended lead times, and unpredictability across many markets. Supply chain constraints are being caused by shortages in electronics components markets and supply chain logistical issues resulting in extended lead times and unpredictability, which has impacted the business. Despite these challenges, to date the company has efficiently managed the global supply chain requirements of customers and suppliers, and as a result, during the second quarter of 2021 the company's global components business benefited from rising demand and higher prices for certain products leading to improved profit margins globally.

Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to impact the company’s results will depend primarily on future developments, including the severity and duration of the crisis, and the impact of actions taken and that will be taken to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. These future developments are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. The global economic impact from COVID-19 may adversely affect the company's results of operations in the future and may affect the credit condition of some customers, which could increase delays in customer payments and credit losses.

Accordingly, current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends. See the risk factors regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Impact on Q3 2021

As a result of the supply chain constraints and timing of quarter end for the second quarter of 2021, we expect global components sales in the third quarter of 2021 to be slightly below second quarter 2021 sales.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

•Non-GAAP sales, non-GAAP gross profit, and non-GAAP operating expenses exclude the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as “changes in foreign currencies”) by re-translating prior period results at current period foreign exchange rates; the impact of the company’s personal computer and mobility asset disposition business (referred to as “wind down”); and the impact of notes receivable recoveries related to the AFS business (referred to as “AFS notes receivable recoveries”).
•Non-GAAP operating income excludes identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, AFS notes receivable recoveries, impairments of long-lived assets, and the impact of wind down.
•Non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, AFS notes receivable recoveries, net gains and losses on investments, certain tax adjustments, impairments of long-lived assets, and the impact of wind down.
24


Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand the company’s operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

Sales

Substantially all of the company’s sales are made on an order-by-order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts. As such, the nature of the company’s business does not provide for the visibility of material forward-looking information from its customers and suppliers beyond a few months. Following is an analysis of net sales by reportable segment (in millions):

Non-GAAP global ECS sales $ 1,952  $ 1,971  (1.0)% $ 3,895  $ 3,874  0.5  %

Consolidated sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 increased by $2.0 billion, or 29.6%, and $4.0 billion, or 30.5%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increase for the second quarter of 2021 was driven by an increase in global components segment sales of $1.9 billion, or 40.0% and an increase in global ECS business segment sales of $66.6 million, or 3.5%. The increase for the first six months of 2021 was driven by an increase in global components segment sales of $3.8 billion, or 40.8%, and an increase in global ECS business segment sales of $178.5 million, or 4.8%. Non-GAAP consolidated sales, adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies, increased 25.5% and 26.4% for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

The global components business capitalized on strong demand in all regions from higher sales volumes and favorable pricing in all regions. This was especially true in the Asia/Pacific region where sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 increased 49% and 66%, respectively. The Americas and EMEA regions each grew more than 20% during the second quarter of 2021 on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Increases during the second quarter and first six months of 2021 related to many product lines, however the company noted particularly strong demand in the industrial, automotive, communications, consumer electronics, data networking, and the aerospace and defense verticals. Changes in foreign exchange rates contributed favorably to results in the EMEA and Americas regions during 2021.

Increases in sales for the global ECS business were primarily due to higher sales volumes driven by stronger demand for information technology hardware and storage. Results in Q2 2021 were negatively impacted by minor supply chain constraints with certain products that the company anticipates resolving during the third quarter.

* The sum of the components for non-GAAP gross profit may not agree to totals, as presented, due to rounding.

The company recorded gross profit of $1.0 billion and $1.9 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with $750.5 million and $1.5 billion in the year-earlier periods. During the second quarter and first six months of 2021, gross profit increased 33.3% and 30.5%, respectively on a GAAP basis, and 30.1% and 26.5%, respectively, on a non-GAAP basis, compared with the year-earlier periods. Gross profit margins in the second quarter increased by approximately 30 bps and 40 bps on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis respectively, and were flat for the first six months of 2021, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increases in gross profit margins during the second quarter are significant given the shift in regional mix to more Asia/Pacific components sales, which generally have a lower gross profit margin than components sales in the EMEA and Americas regions, contributing 48% of global components sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, compared with 45% and 41% of global components sales for the year-earlier periods. This result is largely due to significant improvements in pricing and margins during the second quarter in both the Asia/Pacific and Americas regions, due in part to the current market conditions and the global supply chain issues discussed above. Growing demand in services offerings globally continued to have a positive impact on gross margins during the second quarter and first six months of 2021 compared with the year-earlier periods.

26


Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $100.6 million, or 20.1%, and $141.3 million, or 13.7%, in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, on a sales increase of 29.6% and 30.5% compared with the year-earlier periods. In the second quarter and first six months of 2021, the company received $8.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively, in settlement funds in connection with certain class action claims (Refer to Note J), which were recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of operating expenses was 7.5% and 7.8% for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with 8.5% and 8.3% in the year-earlier periods. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is identifiable intangible asset amortization of $9.3 million and $18.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared to $9.7 million and $19.7 million in the year-earlier periods.

The decreases in operating expense as a percentage of sales relate primarily to operating leverage the company generates when sales are growing and the settlement funds discussed above. These were partially offset by investments to grow the company's sales force, higher variable costs, and some increased costs related to the global supply chain environment.

Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 14.2% and 9.4% for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. Non-GAAP operating expense, as a percentage of non-GAAP sales, decreased 70 bps and 120 bps for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

Restructuring initiatives and integration costs are due to the company's continued efforts to lower costs, drive operational efficiency, integrate any acquired businesses, and the consolidation of certain operations, as necessary. The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $4.5 million and $10.2 million, and $0.7 million and $9.8 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of July 3, 2021, the company does not anticipate there will be any material adjustments relating to the aforementioned restructuring and integration plans. Refer to Note G, “Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the company’s restructuring and integration activities.

The company recorded operating income of $340.5 million, or 4.0% of sales, and operating income of $640.0 million, or 3.8% of sales, in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with operating income of $196.6 million, or 3.0% of sales, and operating income of $334.9 million, or 2.6% of sales, in the year-earlier periods. Non-GAAP operating income was $358.8 million, or 4.2% of sales, and $673.3 million, or 4.0% of sales, in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 compared with non-GAAP operating income of $200.3 million, or 3.0% of sales, and $356.8 million, or 2.7% of sales, in the year-earlier periods.

Non-GAAP operating income, as a percentage of sales, increased 120 bps and 130 bps for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, primarily due to increases in sales volumes and prices from the global components business, the greater operating expense leverage from higher sales volumes in all regions, partially offset by the impact to gross profit resulting from a shift in regional mix. The increase in operating margins is also impacted by reserves and other adjustments related to foreign tax and other loss contingencies recorded within the global ECS business during the first quarter of 2020 (Refer to Note J). These reserves are principally associated with transactional taxes on activity from several prior years, not significant to any one year. During the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, changes in foreign currencies had positive impacts on operating income of approximately $8.4 million and $21.0 million when compared to the year-earlier periods.

Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net

During the second quarter and first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively, the company recorded a gain of $6.7 million and $9.5 million and a gain of $10.9 million and loss of $5.9 million, respectively, which are primarily related to changes in fair value of assets related to the Arrow SERP pension plan, which consist primarily of life insurance policies and mutual fund assets.

Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net

The company recorded net interest and other financing expense of $30.7 million and $64.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with $31.9 million and $75.1 million in the year-earlier periods. The decrease for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 primarily relates to lower borrowings and interest rates on short term credit facilities, partially offset by a decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest income is primarily attributable to lower average cash balances and lower interest rates within the company's cash pooling arrangements.

Income Tax

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. The determination of the consolidated provision for income taxes requires management to make certain judgments and estimates. Changes in the estimated level of annual pre-tax earnings, tax laws, and changes resulting from tax audits can affect the overall effective income tax rate, which impacts the level of income tax expense and net income. Judgments and estimates related to the company’s projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain; therefore, actual results could differ from projections.

For the second quarter and first six months of 2021, the company recorded a provision for income taxes of $74.1 million and $135.1 million, respectively, an effective tax rate of 23.5% and 23.2%, compared to a provision of $40.9 million and $68.7 million, an effective tax rate of 23.5% and 27.3% during the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively. The company’s non-GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 was 23.5% and 23.2%, respectively, compared to a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24.1% and 26.3% for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively.

The company’s effective tax rate deviates from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate mainly due to the mix of foreign taxing jurisdictions in which the company operates and where its foreign subsidiaries generate taxable income, among other things. The change in the effective tax rate from 23.5% and 27.3% for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, to 23.5% and 23.2% for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, is primarily driven by discrete items, such as the out-of-period tax contingencies, and changes in the mix of tax jurisdictions where taxable income is generated. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the first six months of 2020 includes approximately $7.4 million in discrete tax items related to the foreign tax and other loss contingencies.

* Identifiable intangible asset amortization also excludes amortization related to the noncontrolling interest.
** The sum of the components for non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders may not agree to totals, as presented, due to rounding.

The company recorded net income attributable to shareholders of $240.6 million and $447.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with $132.8 million and $182.3 million in the year-earlier periods. Non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders was $249.3 million and $464.9 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively, compared with $126.1 million and $205.0 million in the year-earlier periods. During the second quarter and first six months of 2021, changes in foreign currencies had positive impacts on net income of approximately $6.0 million and $15.5 million when compared to the year-earlier periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $244.1 million and $373.6 million, respectively, of which $234.6 million and $140.1 million, respectively, were held outside the United States. Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the company’s business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the world.

To achieve greater cash management agility and to further advance business objectives, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the company reversed its assertion to indefinitely reinvest a certain portion of its foreign earnings, of which approximately $2.3 billion are available for distribution in future periods as of July 3, 2021. The company continues to indefinitely reinvest the residual $2.0 billion of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. If the indefinitely reinvested earnings were to be distributed to the United States, the company would be required to pay withholding and other taxes. Additionally, local government regulations may restrict the company’s ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances. However, the company currently does not expect such regulations and restrictions to impact its ability to make acquisitions or to conduct operations throughout the global organization.

During the first six months of 2021, the net amount of cash provided by the company’s operating activities was $276.8 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $18.9 million, and the net amount of cash used for financing activities was $381.6 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a decrease of $5.8 million.

During the first six months of 2020, the net amount of cash provided by the company’s operating activities was $885.1 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $65.0 million, and the net amount of cash used for financing activities was $904.8 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a decrease of $9.6 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The company maintains a significant investment in accounts receivable and inventories. As a percentage of total assets, accounts receivable and inventories were approximately 74.1% at July 3, 2021 and 73.3% at December 31, 2020.

29


The net amount of cash provided by the company’s operating activities during the first six months of 2021 and 2020 was $276.8 million and $885.1 million, respectively. The change relates primarily to income from operations offset by the timing of payments.

The change in cash provided by operating activities during 2021, compared to the year earlier period, relates primarily to the timing of payments, increasing growth in customer demand in certain regions, and a corresponding increase in working capital, including inventory, which is consistent with the company's historical counter-cyclical cash flow in which the company generates less cash flow in periods of increased demand.

Working capital as a percentage of sales, which the company defines as accounts receivable, net, plus inventory, net, less accounts payable, divided by annualized sales, was 14.2% in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 16.7% in the second quarter of 2020.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first six months of 2021 was $18.9 million. The primary source of cash from investing activities was $22.2 million of proceeds from the sale of a distribution warehouse in the EMEA region. The primary use of cash for investing activities included $41.1 million for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2021 primarily include expenditures related to investments in internally developed software and website functionality and the build out of the company's distribution centers.

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first six months of 2020 was $65.0 million. The primary use of cash from investing activities included $59.5 million for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2020 include expenditures related to the build out of the company's distribution centers and investments in internally developed software.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net amount of cash used for financing activities during the first six months of 2021 was $381.6 million. The uses of cash from financing activities included $411.3 million of repurchases of common stock, $130.9 million of repayments of the principal amount of the company's 5.125% notes due March 2021, and $14.8 million of net payments for short-term borrowings. The primary sources of cash from financing activities during the second quarter of 2021 were $134.2 million of net proceeds from long-term borrowings and $41.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

The uses of cash from financing activities included $7.2 million of net payments from short-term borrowings, $411.7 million of net payments for long-term bank borrowings, $48.4 million of payments upon the settlement of forward starting interest rate swaps, $209.4 million of repayments of the principal amount of the company's 6.00% notes due April 2020, and $231.7 million of repurchases of common stock. The primary source of cash from financing activities during the second quarter of 2020 was $3.7 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

The company has a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing in December 2023. This facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes, including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term indebtedness, acquisitions, and as support for the company’s commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus a spread (1.18% at July 3, 2021), which is based on the company’s credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.24% at July 3, 2021. The facility fee, which is based on the company’s credit ratings, was .20% of the total borrowing capacity at July 3, 2021. The company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the first six months of 2021 and 2020, the average daily balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility was $12.5 million and $24.0 million, respectively.

The company has a commercial paper program and the maximum aggregate balance of commercial paper outstanding may not exceed the borrowing capacity of $1.2 billion. The company had no outstanding borrowings under this program at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the first six months of 2021 and 2020, the average daily balance outstanding under the commercial paper program was $171.4 million and $94.4 million, respectively. The program had a weighted-average effective interest rate of .28% at July 3, 2021.

The company has a North American asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. In March 2021, the company amended its asset securitization program and, among other things, increased its borrowing capacity from $1.2 billion to $1.25 billion and extended its term to mature to March 2024. The program is conducted
30


through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation (“AFC”), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The program does not qualify for sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate, or a commercial paper rate, plus a spread (.45% at July 3, 2021), or an effective interest rate of .56% at July 3, 2021. The facility fee is .40% of the total borrowing capacity. At July 3, 2021, the company had $135.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program. At December 31, 2020, the company had no outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program. During the first six months of 2021 and 2020, the average daily balance outstanding under the North American asset securitization program was $280.6 million and $509.9 million, respectively.

Both the revolving credit facility and North American asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. As of July 3, 2021, the company was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

The company has $200.0 million in uncommitted lines of credit. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted lines of credit at July 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These borrowings are provided on a short-term basis and the maturity is agreed upon between the company and the lender. The lines had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 1.50% at July 3, 2021. During the first six months of 2021 and 2020, the average daily balance outstanding under the uncommitted lines of credit was $0.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

In May 2019, the company entered into a series of ten-year forward-starting interest rate swaps (the “2019 swaps”), which locked in an average treasury rate of 2.33% on a total aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million. The 2019 swaps were designated as cash flow hedges managing the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuance by June 2020. In February 2020, the company determined that certain of the forecasted cash flows were no longer probable and de-designated the hedging relationship. In February 2020, the company re-designated the 2019 swaps in a new cash flow hedge managing the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuance by June 2023.

In April 2020, the company entered into a series of ten-year forward-starting interest rate swaps (the “April 2020 swaps”), which locked in an average swap rate of 0.97% on a total aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million and expire in December 2024. The April 2020 swaps were designated as cash flow hedges managing the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuance by December 2025.

In May 2020, the company entered into a series of ten-year forward-starting interest rate swaps (the “May 2020 swaps”), which locked in an average swap rate of 0.90% on a total aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million and expire in June 2022. The May 2020 swaps were designated as cash flow hedges managing the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuance by June 2023.

During March 2021, the company repaid $130.9 million principal amount of its 5.125% notes due March 2021.

During April 2020, the company repaid $209.4 million principal amount of its 6.00% notes due April 2020.

In the normal course of business, certain of the company’s subsidiaries have agreements to sell, without recourse, selected trade receivables to financial institutions. The company does not retain financial or legal interests in these receivables, and, accordingly, they are accounted for as sales of the related receivables and the receivables are removed from the company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Management believes that the company’s current cash availability, its current borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and asset securitization programs, and its expected ability to generate future operating cash flows are sufficient to meet its projected cash flow needs for the foreseeable future. The company's current committed and undrawn liquidity stands at over $3.4 billion in addition to $244.1 million of cash on hand at July 3, 2021. The company also may issue debt or equity securities in the future and management believes the company will have adequate access to the capital markets, if needed. The company continually evaluates its liquidity requirements and would seek to amend its existing borrowing capacity or access the financial markets as deemed necessary.

Contractual Obligations

The company has contractual obligations for short-term and long-term debt, interest on short-term and long-term debt, operating leases, purchase obligations, and certain other long-term liabilities that were summarized in a table of Contractual Obligations in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Since December 31, 2020, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations of the company outside the ordinary course of the company’s business, except as follows:

•During the first quarter of 2021, the company repaid $130.9 million principal amount of its 5.125% notes due March 2021.

•During the first quarter of 2021, the company amended its asset securitization program and, among other things, increased its borrowing capacity from $1.2 billion to $1.25 billion and extended its term to mature in March 2024. The company had $135.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program at July 3, 2021 and no outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program at December 31, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the first quarter of 2020, the company entered into an EMEA asset securitization program under which it will continuously sell its interest in designated pools of trade accounts receivables of certain of its subsidiaries in the EMEA region, at a discount, to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions and conduits administered by such unaffiliated financial institutions on a monthly basis. Refer to Note D "Accounts Receivables" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the EMEA asset securitization program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There were no significant changes during the second quarter of 2021 to the items disclosed as Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
