-

-
Non-GAAP consolidated net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2015, which exclude severance and restructuring expenses and the tax effect of these charges, were $11.5 million and $0.29, respectively.*
- The Company repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of its common stock for $38.6 million during the first quarter of 2015.
"In the first quarter of 2015, our team continued to drive solid top line growth across the business in constant currency, invested in our sales force, and at the same time, returned cash to our shareholders through our share repurchase program; all of which are important to our long-term strategy," stated Ken Lamneck, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we enter the second quarter of 2015, we continue to believe that the IT industry is healthy. With the expiration of Windows Server 2003 maintenance support in July of this year combined with the substantial completion of the recent desktop refresh cycles, we believe CIOs will now focus on data center and other infrastructure projects in 2015. Given our strong technical and engineering skills and deep services capabilities, we believe we are well positioned to participate in this shift in demand for the balance of the year," added Lamneck.
The Company refers to changes in net sales and gross profit on a consolidated basis and 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.
GUIDANCE
For the full year of 2015, the Company continues to expect to deliver top line growth in the low single digits in U.S. dollars and that diluted earnings per share for the full year 2015 will be between $2.10 and $2.20.
This outlook reflects:
- an average U.S. dollar to Euro currency exchange rate of $1.05 and an average U.S. dollar to British Pound currency exchange rate of $1.45;
- the adverse effect on gross profit of previously announced partner program changes in the software category, which the Company expects to be between $5 and $10 million;
- an effective tax rate of 37% to 39%;
- the completion of our remaining share repurchase program of up to $53 million leading to an average outstanding share count of approximately 38.6 million shares for the year; and
- capital expenditures of $10 to $15 million.
This outlook excludes severance and restructuring expenses incurred during the year.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The non-GAAP financial measures exclude severance and restructuring expenses in 2015 and 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.
