Tempe, ariz.--(business wire)--insight enterprises, inc.

profit increased 1% and gross margin expanded 30 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. the increase in gross profit and gross margin reflects our continued emphasis on growing our higher margin cloud and services businesses. diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.50, up 25%, year over year, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.76, up 12%, year over year. “during the fourth quarter, we drove double digit growth in cloud and warranty solutions, which pushed gross margins to 15%,” stated ken lamneck, president and chief executive officer. “and, when combined with the positive effect of the acceleration of our pcm integration, including cost synergies, this helped us achieve adjusted earnings from operations growth of 12% year over year,” stated lamneck. for the full year 2020, consolidated net sales were $8.3 billion, up 8% year over year. the benefit from including pcm in the full year results was partially offset by a decline in overall client demand and certain supply challenges as a result of the covid-19 global pandemic. gross profit increased 14%, year over year, with gross margins increasing 90 basis points to 15.6% for the full year. earnings from operations grew 13%, year over year, to $271.6 million. cash flow from operations was strong at $355.6 million. “as we look back at our business for the full year in 2020, we are pleased with all we accomplished under trying circumstances, being responsive to the difficult demand landscape, and proactive in our approach. we are positioned well to help our clients solve complex it challenges,” stated ken lamneck, president and chief executive officer. “we believe that the strategic investments we made in our go-to-market solution areas over the last several years, as well as the investments in our sales and technical talent in 2020 have positioned us well to execute our business goals in the new year,” stated lamneck. key highlights the company continued to support clients with their changing needs in response to the covid-19 global pandemic. the demand environment continued to be challenged but the company focused on answering its clients’ most pressing it needs while helping many to plan for the investments required to support their businesses as the economy recovers. the company has exited the year with approximately $70 million in annualized run-rate

financial results for the three and twelve months ended december 31, 2020 and 2019 in this press release, the company refers to certain financial measures that are adjusted from the financial results prepared in accordance with united states generally accepted accounting principles (“gaap”). when referring to non-gaap measures, the company refers to such measures as “adjusted.” see “use of non-gaap financial measures” for additional information. a tabular reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with gaap to the non-gaap financial measures is included at the end of this press release. in some instances, the company refers to changes in net sales, gross profit and earnings from operations on a consolidated basis and in north america, emea and apac excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. 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. the tax effect of adjusted 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. guidance for the full year 2021, the company expects to deliver net sales growth in the 4% to 8% range and adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $6.60 and $6.80. this outlook assumes interest expense between $25 million and $28 million; an effective tax rate of 25% to 26% for the full year 2021; capital expenditures of $75 to $85 million, including approximately $60 million for the build out of our new corporate headquarters; and an average share count for the full year of approximately 36 million shares. this outlook excludes acquisition-related intangibles amortization expense of approximately $32 million and the non-cash convertible debt discount and issuance costs, reported as part of interest expense, of approximately $12 million and assumes no acquisition-related or severance and restructuring expenses. due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting some of these types of expenses, which impact net earnings and diluted earnings per share, the company is unable to reasonably estimate the impact of such expenses, if any, to net earnings and diluted earnings per share. accordingly, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation of gaap to non-gaap diluted earnings per share for the full year 2021 forecast. conference call and webcast the company will host a conference call and live web cast today at 9:00 a.m. et to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2020 results of operations. a live web cast of the conference call (in listen-only mode) will be available on the company’s web site at http://investor.insight.com/, and a replay of the web cast will be available on the company’s web site for a limited time following the call. to access the live conference call, please register in advance using this event link. upon registering, participants will receive dial-in information via email, as well as a unique registrant id, event passcode, and

adjusted consolidated net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude (i) severance and restructuring expenses, (ii) certain acquisition and integration related expenses, (iii) impairment of property and equipment, (iv) amortization of intangible assets, and (v) the tax effects of each of these items, as applicable. adjusted consolidated net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share also exclude amortization of debt discount and issuance costs associated with the issuance of the company’s convertible senior notes due 2025. the company excludes these items 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. adjusted ebitda adds back (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v) non-cash stock based compensation (vi)

property, (v) litigation settlement proceeds, and (vi) the tax effects of each of these items, as applicable. these non-gaap measures are used by the company and its management 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. financial
