However, EM's operating income and margin came in stronger than expected. Revenue performance from Computer Marketing and Applied Computing came in largely as expected. This is the second consecutive quarter of slight year-over-year revenue growth for the enterprise, and despite the sequential sales decline, we continue to see stability in the technology markets we serve." Vallee continued, "Gross profit margin Gross profit margin

Ray Sadowski, chief financial officer, stated, "Including some actions already taken during the June June: see month.  2003 quarter, we expect to reduce expenses by roughly $90 million from the March 2003 run-rate.

The company reported that it further reduced net debt (debt less cash) during the June 2003 quarter as it generated free cash flow (as defined later in this release) of $105.2 million. For fiscal years 2003 and 2002, the company generated free cash flow of $637.6 million and $869.0 million, respectively. Total cash and cash equivalents at the close of the June 2003 quarter were $395 million, and total debt was $1.47 billion. From the prior year ending balances, total debt and net debt fell 20% and 36%, respectively (including as debt $0 and $200 million, respectively, of drawings under the company's accounts receivable accounts receivable n. the amounts of money due or owed to a business or professional by customers or clients.

Commenting on Avnet's fiscal year results, Sadowski said, "The company improved its pre-tax results by $41.4 million. Excluding the impact of special charges, the company increased pre-tax income by $82.0 million, from a loss of $41.2 million in fiscal 2002 to income of $40.8 million in fiscal 2003 on essentially flat sales."

Providing guidance on the September 2003 quarter, Vallee stated, "We expect revenues from both Electronics Marketing and Avnet Technology Solutions to be higher benefiting somewhat from the additional week as our fiscal calendar calls for 14 weeks during the September 2003 quarter. As a result, we expect enterprise revenues to be in the range of $2.25 to $2.35 billion. Factoring in an additional week of expenses due to our fiscal calendar, and assuming a more normalized tax rate in the 30% to 35% range as well as lower anticipated other income, earnings per share in the September 2003 quarter should range between $0.08 and $0.11, excluding the impact of incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged.

), the company also discloses pro forma or non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain items. Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to investors to better assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods. Management believes the pro forma measures also help indicate underlying trends in the business. Management also uses pro forma measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes.

However, analysis of results and outlook on a pro forma or non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1) The company has an accounts receivable securitization program
    whereby it sells an interest in a pool of its trade accounts
    receivable to third party conduits through a wholly owned
    bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that is consolidated for
    financial reporting purposes. The purpose of the program is to
    provide the company with an additional source of liquidity at
    interest rates more favorable than it could receive through other
    forms of financing. At June 27, 2003 and June 28, 2002, the
    company had sold $0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, of
    receivables under the program. This is reflected as a reduction of
    receivables, with the proceeds used to pay down debt, in the above
    consolidated balance sheets.

(2) At June 27, 2003, cash and cash equivalents include $78.5 million
    of restricted cash held in an escrow account. This cash will be
    used to repay the remaining $41.0 million in principal outstanding
    on the 6.45% Notes due Aug. 15, 2003 and the remaining $29.9
    million in principal outstanding on the 8.20% Notes due Oct. 17,
    2003 plus the remaining interest payments on this debt through its
    maturity.
