Operating income as a percent of sales was 3.03% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, which was down 21 basis points from last year's fourth quarter.

Our focus on value-based management allowed Electronics Marketing to react quickly to the market conditions and weather this short cycle with improved financial performance. Electronics Marketing's solid performance coupled with another record year for Technology Solutions allowed us to achieve the best performance in three years in revenue, operating income and return on capital, and we closed out the quarter with record working capital velocity metrics metrics Managed care A popular term for standards by which the quality of a product, service, or outcome of a particular form of Pt management is evaluated. See TQM. ."

The company generated $51.1 million of free cash flow (as defined later in this release) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, bringing the total free cash flow for fiscal year 2005 to $425.7 million. As a result, the company ended the quarter with $638 million of cash and cash equivalents and net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) of $607 million, the lowest net debt has been since the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.

Ray Sadowski, chief financial officer, stated: "I am very proud of the team's ability to generate significant free cash flow in a year of 8% revenue growth. With the significant amount of cash on hand we were able to pay off most of the debt Memec had outstanding at the closing of the Memec acquisition on July 5, 2005, and immediately begin to realize interest expense synergies of at least $10 million annually."

Operating Groups

Electronics Marketing (EM) sales of $1.62 billion in the fourth quarter fiscal 2005 were up 1.5% sequentially and up 0.8% on a year over year basis.

EM operating income of $65.3 million for fourth quarter fiscal 2005 was 6.1% higher than the prior sequential quarter operating income of $61.5 million.

Technology Solutions (TS) sales of $1.20 billion in the fourth quarter fiscal 2005 were up 16.4% year over year and 3.7% sequentially. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, TS sales for fourth quarter fiscal 2005 were up 15.3% on a year over year basis and 4.7% sequentially. On a year over year basis, TS fourth quarter sales in the Americas, EMEA and Asia increased 19.5%, 2.8% and 56.4%, respectively. TS operating income was $37.4 million, a 53.2% increase as compared with fourth quarter fiscal 2004 operating income of $24.4 million, and its operating income margin of 3.11% increased by 75 basis points over the prior year fourth quarter.

Vallee added, "At Technology Solutions, we saw another strong quarterly performance as operating income grew 53% on sales growth of 16% year over year. The focus that TS has had on developing world-class world-class

Memec Integration

The integration of Memec is proceeding on track with all activities expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2006.

It comes from the Greek "synergia," which means joint work and cooperative action.  benefits are expected to be at least $130 million including $10 million related to reduced net interest expense on debt retired upon closing the transaction. The Americas team has completed the integration of its inventory, IT systems, facilities and workforce. In the EMEA region, the integration of Memec's inventory is also complete. During the second quarter, both the EMEA and Asia regions should complete the integration of the IT systems. The vast majority of the workforce and facility consolidation in EMEA and Asia will be complete by the end of the March 2006 quarter with the remainder completed by the June June: see month.  2006 quarter.

Outlook

Looking forward to Avnet's first quarter fiscal 2006, management expects revenues for Electronics Marketing to be in the range of $2.11 billion to $2.16 billion and we anticipate sales for Technology Solutions to be in the range of $1.09 billion to $1.14 billion. Therefore, Avnet's consolidated con·sol·i·date

1. To unite into one system or whole; combine:
 sales should be in the range of $3.20 billion to $3.30 billion for first quarter fiscal 2006. This revenue guidance takes into account the impact of the Memec acquisition which was completed on July 5, 2005. EM's sales guidance is negatively impacted by approximately $40 million due to a couple of factors related to the Memec acquisition. First, due to the timing of closing of the acquisition, one day of Memec shipments in July were included in Memec's pre-close results of operations and are therefore excluded from Avnet's first quarter fiscal 2006 results. More importantly, due to the merging of certain warehouse operations immediately following the close, it was necessary to expedite ex·pe·dite

As a result of the anticipated sales, management expects earnings to be in the range of $0.30 to $0.35 per share.

In addition, the earnings per share assumes an effective tax rate of 33% based upon the projected mix of profits by country of the combined businesses.

This includes phenomena ranging from simple calculations to human thinking.  of free cash flow and a reconciliation of this metric to the nearest GAAP measures of net income and net cash flow from operations Cash flow from operations

. Management's computation of free cash flow consists of net cash flow from operations plus cash flows generated from or used for purchases and sales of property, plant and equipment, acquisitions of operations, effects of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents and other financing activities. Management believes that the non-GAAP metric of free cash flow is a useful measure to help management and investors better assess and understand the company's operating performance, and sources and uses of cash. Management also believes the analysis of free cash flow assists in identifying underlying trends in the business. Computations of free cash flow may differ from company to company. Therefore, the analysis of free cash flow should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, the company's consolidated statements of cash flows presented in the accompanying financial statements.

Management also analyzes cash flow from operations based upon its three primary components noted in the table below: net income, non-cash and other reconciling items and cash flow generated from working capital. Similar to free cash flow, management believes that this breakout is an important measure to help management and investors to understand the trends in the company's cash flows, including the impact of management's focus on asset utilization utilization,
