Although Electronics Marketing (EM) revenue for the quarter was flat year over year, its sales grew 8% sequentially."

The company generated $131 million of free cash flow (as defined later in this release) during the third quarter of fiscal 2005. During the quarter, the company paid off $87 million of debt that matured in February February: see month.  2005 and ended the quarter with $594 million of cash and cash equivalents. This continued cash flow generation brought the company's net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) to $656 million, the lowest it has been since the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.

Ray Sadowski, chief financial officer, stated: "We had another quarter of significant positive free cash flow due to our continued focus on working capital management and operational efficiencies. At Electronics Marketing we reduced inventory during the quarter by another $100 million, thereby improving inventory turns to near record levels. This cash generation brings our free cash flow year to date to $375 million."

The following table summarizes the company's cash flow activity for the third quarter and nine months ended April 2, 2005, including the company's computation Computation is a general term for any type of information processing that can be represented mathematically. 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,
