BusinessAvnet, Inc., founded in 1921 and incorporated in New York in 1955, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the“Company” or “Avnet”), is a global value-added distributor of electronic components. Avnet creates a vital link in the technologysupply chain that connects the world’s leading electronic component manufacturers with a global customer base primarilycomprised of original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) providers and originaldesign manufacturers (“ODMs”). Avnet distributes electronic components, as received from its suppliers or through a customizedintegrated solution, and offers assembly and other value-added services.Avnet supports customers of all types and sizes at each stage of the product lifecycle with a comprehensive portfolio ofdesign and supply chain services. With deep expertise in design and engineering, broad line distribution, integration and services,Avnet is uniquely positioned to meet critical time-to-market needs for customers globally.Organizational StructureAt the end of fiscal 2017, Avnet had two primary operating groups — Electronic Components (“EC”) and Premier Farnell(“PF”). Both operating groups have operations in each of the three major economic regions of the world: the Americas; Europe,the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia/Pacific, consisting of Asia, Australia and New Zealand (“Asia”). Each operatinggroup has its own management team that includes senior executives and leadership both at the global and regional levels, whomanage various functions within such businesses. Each operating group also has distinct financial reporting that is evaluated atthe executive level on which operating decisions and strategic planning and resource allocation for the Company as a whole aremade. Divisions (“business units”) exist within each operating group that serve primarily as sales and marketing units to furtherstreamline the sales efforts within each operating group and enhance each operating group’s ability to work with its customersand suppliers, generally along more specific product lines or geographies. However, each business unit relies heavily on thesupport services provided by the operating groups as well as centralized support at the corporate level.A description of each operating group is presented below. Further financial information by operating group is provided inNote 17 “Segment information” to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Avnet’s foreign operations are subject to a variety of risks. These risks are discussed further under Risk Factors in Item 1Aand under Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Item 7A of this Report. Additionally, the specifictranslation impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, most notably the Euro and the British Pound, on the Company’s consolidatedfinancial statements are further discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations in Item 7 of this Report.Electronic ComponentsEC markets and sells semiconductors, electronic components, including interconnect, passive and electromechanical(“IP&E”) devices, and other integrated components from the world’s leading electronic component manufacturers.

This acquisition program was a significant factor in Avnet becoming one of the largestvalue-added distributors of electronic components including integrated products and solutions. In fiscal 2017, this trend continuedwith the acquisitions of Premier Farnell, a global distributor of electronic components that utilizes a digital platform to provideinnovators and engineers with the latest products, services and development software, and Hackster.io, an online community thathelps users learn how to design, create and program internet-connected hardware. Avnet expects to continue to pursue strategicacquisitions to expand its market presence, increase its scale and scope, and extend its product and service offerings throughoutall stages of the technology product lifecycle.See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of thisAnnual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on acquisitions completed during fiscal 2017.Discontinued OperationsDuring fiscal 2017, the Company sold the Technology Solutions operating group (the “TS Business”) or “TS”, which washistorically a reportable operating segment. With the sale of the TS Business, the Company is focused on providing design andsupply chain solutions specific to the electronic components industry.See Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K forfurther discussion on the sale of the TS Business.Major ProductsOne of Avnet’s competitive strengths is the breadth and quality of the suppliers whose products it distributes. TexasInstruments products accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s consolidated sales from continuing operations duringfiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, and was the only supplier from which sales of its products, software and services exceeded 10% ofconsolidated sales. Listed in the table below are the major product categories and the Company’s approximate sales of eachduring the past three fiscal years. Fiscal 2016 contained 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks in the other fiscal years presented. Years Ended July 1, July 2, June 27, 2017 2016 2015 (Millions) Semiconductors $13,537.9 $13,978.0 $14,886.3 Interconnect, passive & electromechanical (IP&E) 3,397.9 2,539.9 2,594.7 Other 504.2 222.7 174.3 Sales $17,440.0 $16,740.6 $17,655.3 Competition & MarketsThe electronic components industry continues to be extremely competitive. The Company’s major competitors include:Arrow Electronics, Inc., Future Electronics, World Peace Group, Mouser Electronics and Digi-Key Electronics. There are alsocertain smaller, specialized competitors who generally focus on narrower regions, markets, products or particular sectors. Inaddition, the Company may compete with its own suppliers that maintain a direct salesforce and with contract manufacturers andEMS providers that purchase directly from suppliers. As a result of these factors, Avnet must remain competitive in its pricing ofproducts and services.5 Table of ContentsA key competitive factor in the electronic component distribution industry is the need to carry a sufficient amount ofinventory to meet customers’ rapid delivery requirements. To minimize its exposure related to inventory on hand, the majority ofthe Company’s products are purchased pursuant to non-exclusive distributor agreements, which typically provide certainprotections for product obsolescence and price erosion. These agreements are generally cancelable upon 30 to 180 days’ noticeand, in most cases, provide for or require inventory return privileges upon cancellation. In fiscal 2017, certain suppliersterminated their distribution agreements with the Company, which did not result in any significant inventory write-downs as aresult of such terminations. In addition, the Company enhances its competitive position by offering a variety of value-addedservices, which entail the performance of services and/or customer support tailored to individual customer specifications andbusiness needs, such as point of use replenishment, testing, assembly, supply chain management and materials management.A competitive advantage is the breadth of the Company’s supplier product line card. Because of the number of Avnet’ssuppliers, many customers can simplify their procurement process and make all of their required purchases from Avnet, ratherthan purchasing from several different distributors or other vendors.SeasonalityHistorically, Avnet’s business and continuing operations has not been materially impacted by seasonality, with theexception of a relatively minor impact on consolidated results from shifts in regional sales trends from Asia in the first half of afiscal year to the western regions of the Americas and EMEA in the second half of a fiscal year. Number of EmployeesAt July 1, 2017, Avnet had approximately 15,700 employees compared to 17,700 employees at July 2, 2016, and 18,800 atJune 27, 2015.Available InformationThe Company files its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxystatements and other documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934.

Risk FactorsForward-Looking Statements and Risk FactorsThis Report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businessof Avnet. These statements are generally identified by words like “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “will,”“may,” “estimates” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks anduncertainties. Except as required by law, Avnet does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements,whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially fromthose contained in the forward-looking statements include those discussed below.The factors discussed below make the Company’s operating results for future periods difficult to predict and, therefore,prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Any of the below factors, or any otherfactors discussed elsewhere in this Report, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results, operations, prospectsand liquidity. The Company’s operating results have fluctuated in the past and likely will continue to do so. If the Company’soperating results fall below its forecasts and the expectations of public market analysts and investors, the trading price of theCompany’s common stock will likely decrease.Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty could adversely affect the Company’s results and prospects.The Company’s financial results, operations and prospects depend significantly on worldwide economic and geopoliticalconditions, the demand for its products and services, and the financial condition of its customers and suppliers. Economicweakness and geopolitical uncertainty have in the past resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased sales, margins andearnings. Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty may also lead the Company to impair assets, including goodwill,intangible assets and other long-lived assets, take restructuring actions and reduce7 Table of Contentsexpenses in response to decreased sales or margins. The Company may not be able to adequately adjust its cost structure in atimely fashion, which may adversely impact its profitability. Uncertainty about economic conditions may increase foreigncurrency volatility in markets in which the Company transacts business, which may negatively impact the Company’s results.Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty also make it more difficult for the Company to manage inventory levels and/orcollect customer receivables, which may result in provisions to create reserves, write-offs, reduced access to liquidity and higherfinancing costs.The Company experiences significant competitive pressure, which may negatively impact its results.The market for the Company’s products and services is very competitive and subject to rapid technological advances, newmarket entrants, non-traditional competitors, changes in industry standards and changes in customer needs and consumptionmodels. Not only does the Company compete with other global distributors, it also competes for customers with regionaldistributors and some of the Company’s own suppliers that maintain direct sales efforts. In addition, as the Company expands itsofferings and geographies, the Company may encounter increased competition from current or new competitors. The Company’sfailure to maintain and enhance its competitive position could adversely affect its business and prospects. Furthermore, theCompany’s efforts to compete in the marketplace could cause deterioration of gross profit margins and, thus, overall profitability.The size of the Company’s competitors vary across market sectors, as do the resources the Company has allocated to thesectors and geographic areas in which it does business. Therefore, some competitors may have greater resources or a moreextensive customer or supplier base than the Company has in one or more of its market sectors and geographic areas, which mayresult in the Company not being able to effectively compete in certain markets which could impact the Company’s profitabilityand prospects.Changes in customer needs and consumption models could significantly affect the Company’s operating results.Changes in customer needs and consumption models may cause a decline in the Company’s billings, which would have anegative impact on the Company’s financial results. While the Company attempts to identify changes in market conditions assoon as possible, the dynamics of these industries make prediction of and timely reaction to such changes difficult. Futuredownturns in the semiconductor and embedded solutions industries could adversely affect the Company’s operating results andnegatively impact the Company’s ability to maintain its current profitability levels. In addition, the semiconductor industry hashistorically experienced periodic fluctuations in product supply and demand, often associated with changes in economicconditions, technology and manufacturing capacity. During fiscal years 2017, 2016, and 2015, sales of semiconductorsrepresented approximately 78%, 83%, and 84% of the Company's consolidated sales, respectively, and the Company’s sales,closely follow the strength or weakness of the semiconductor industry.Due to the Company’s increased online sales, system interruptions and delays that make its websites and servicesunavailable or slow to respond may reduce the attractiveness of its products and services to its customers. If the Company isunable to continually improve the efficiency of its systems, it could cause systems interruptions or delays and adversely affect theCompany’s operating results.Failure to maintain or add relationships with key suppliers could adversely affect the Company’s sales.One of the Company’s competitive strengths is the breadth and quality of the suppliers whose products the Companydistributes. However, billings of products and services from one of the Company’s suppliers, Texas Instruments (“TI”), accountedfor approximately 11% of the Company’s consolidated billings in fiscal 2017. Management expects TI’s products and services tocontinue to account for roughly a similar percentage of the Company’s consolidated billings in fiscal 2018. The Company’scontracts with its suppliers vary in duration and are generally terminable by either party at will upon notice. To the extent anyprimary suppliers terminate or significantly8 Table of Contentsreduce their volume of business with the Company in the future, because of a product shortage, an unwillingness to do businesswith Avnet, changes in strategy or otherwise, the Company’s business and relationships with its customers could be negativelyaffected because its customers depend on the Company’s distribution of technology hardware and software from the industry’sleading suppliers. In addition, suppliers’ strategy shifts or performance issues may negatively affect the Company’s financialresults. The competitive landscape has also experienced a consolidation among suppliers, which could negatively impact theCompany’s profitability and customer base. Further, to the extent that any of the Company’s key suppliers modify the terms oftheir contracts including, without limitation, the terms regarding price protection, rights of return, rebates or other terms thatprotect or enhance the Company’s gross margins, it could negatively affect the Company’s results of operations, financialcondition or liquidity.The Company’s non-U.S. locations represent a significant portion of its sales and, consequently, the Company is exposed torisks associated with operating internationally that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 approximately 72%, 73% and 73%, respectively, of the Company’s sales came from itsoperations outside the United States. As a result of the Company’s international operations, in particular those in emerging anddeveloping economies, the Company’s operations are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations,including, but not limited to, the following:·potential restrictions on the Company’s ability to repatriate funds from its foreign subsidiaries;·foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations and the impact on the Company’s results of operations;·import and export duties and value-added taxes;·compliance with foreign and domestic import and export regulations, data privacy regulations, business licensingrequirements, environmental regulations and anti-corruption laws, the failure of which could result in severe penaltiesincluding monetary fines, criminal proceedings and suspension of import or export privileges;·complex and changing tax laws and regulations;·regulatory requirements and prohibitions that differ between jurisdictions;·economic and political instability (including the uncertainty caused by the United Kingdom’s exit from the EuropeanUnion), terrorism and potential military conflicts or civilian unrest;·fluctuations in freight costs, limitations on shipping and receiving capacity, and other disruptions in the transportationand shipping infrastructure;·natural disasters and health concerns;·differing environmental regulations and employment practices and labor issues; and·the risk of non-compliance with local laws.In addition to the cost of compliance, the potential criminal penalties for violations of import or export regulations and anti-corruption laws by the Company or its third-party agents create heightened risks for the Company’s international operations. Inthe event that a governing regulatory body determines that the Company has violated applicable import or export regulations oranti-corruption laws, the Company could be fined significant sums, incur sizable legal defense costs and/or its import or exportcapabilities could be restricted, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business. Additionally,allegations that the Company has violated a governmental regulation may negatively impact the Company’s reputation, whichmay result in customers or suppliers being unwilling to do business with the9 Table of ContentsCompany. While the Company has adopted measures and controls designed to ensure compliance with these laws, the Companycannot be assured that such measures will be adequate or that its business will not be materially and adversely impacted in theevent of an alleged violation.The Company transacts sales, pays expenses, owns assets and incurs liabilities in countries using currencies other than theU.S. Dollar. Because the Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, the Company must translatesales, income and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities, into U.S. Dollars at exchange rates in effect during each reportingperiod. Therefore, increases or decreases in the exchanges rates between the U.S. Dollar and other currencies affect theCompany’s reported amounts of sales, operating income, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. In addition,unexpected and dramatic changes in foreign currency exchange rates may negatively affect the Company’s earnings from thosemarkets. While the Company may use derivative financial instruments to further reduce its net exposure to foreign currencyexchange rate fluctuations, there can be no assurance that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will not materiallyaffect the Company’s financial results. Further, foreign currency instability and disruptions in the credit and capital markets mayincrease credit risks for some of the Company’s customers and may impair its customers’ ability to repay existing obligations.If the Company’s internal information systems fail to function properly, or if the Company is unsuccessful in theimplementation, integration or upgrade of information systems, its business operations could suffer.The Company is dependent on its information systems to facilitate the day-to-day operations of the business and to producetimely, accurate and reliable information on financial and operational results. Currently, the Company’s global operations aretracked with multiple information systems. The Company is in the process of implementing a new global enterprise resourceplanning (“ERP”) platform to meet the current, emerging and future needs of Avnet. This global ERP implementation isextremely complex, in part, because of a wide range of processes, the multiple legacy systems used and the Company’s businessoperations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in implementing this ERP and other information systems orthat there will not be implementation or integration difficulties that will adversely affect the Company’s ability to completebusiness transactions and ensure accurate recording and reporting of financial data. In addition, the Company may be unable toachieve the expected efficiencies and cost savings as a result of the ERP implementation projects, thus negatively impacting theCompany’s financial results. A failure of any of these information systems in a way described above or material difficulties inupgrading these information systems could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, internal controls and reportingobligations under federal securities laws.The Company’s acquisition strategy may not produce the expected benefits, which may adversely affect the Company’s resultsof operations.Avnet has made, and expects to continue to make, strategic acquisitions or investments in companies around the world tofurther its strategic objectives and support key business initiatives. Acquisitions and investments involve risks and uncertainties,some of which may differ from those associated with Avnet’s historical operations. The risks relating to such acquisitions andinvestments include, but are not limited to, risks relating to expanding into emerging markets and business areas, addingadditional product lines and services, impacting existing customer and supplier relationships, incurring costs or liabilitiesassociated with the companies acquired and diverting management’s attention from existing business operations. As a result, theCompany’s profitability may be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company may not be successful in integrating the acquiredbusinesses or the integration may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than anticipated. Further, any litigation relating to apotential acquisition will result in an increase in the expenses associated with the acquisition or cause a delay in completing theacquisition, thereby impacting the Company’s profitability. The Company may experience disruptions that could, depending onthe size of the acquisition, have an adverse effect on its business, especially where an acquisition target may have pre-existingcompliance issues or pre-existing deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. Furthermore,the Company10 Table of Contentsmay not realize all of the anticipated benefits from its acquisitions, which could adversely affect the Company’s financialperformance.Major disruptions to the Company’s logistics capability could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations.The Company’s global logistics services are operated through specialized, centralized or outsourced distribution centersaround the globe. The Company also depends almost entirely on third-party transportation service providers for the delivery ofproducts to its customers. A major interruption or disruption in service at one or more of its distribution centers for any reason(such as information technology issues, natural disasters, pandemics, or significant disruptions of services from the Company’sthird-party transportation providers) could cause cancellations or delays in a significant number of shipments to customers and, asa result, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business partners, and on the Company’s business, operations andfinancial performance.If the Company sustains cyber attacks or other privacy or data security incidents that result in security breaches, it couldsuffer a loss of sales and increased costs, exposure to significant liability, reputational harm and other negative consequences.The Company’s information technology may be subject to cyber attacks, security breaches or computer hacking.Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate the Company’s security controls and misappropriate orcompromise sensitive personal, proprietary or confidential information, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. They alsomay be able to develop and deploy malicious software programs that attack the Company’s systems or otherwise exploit anysecurity vulnerabilities. The Company’s systems and the data stored on those systems may also be vulnerable to security incidentsor security attacks, acts of vandalism or theft, coordinated attacks by activist entities, misplaced or lost data, human errors, orother similar events that could negatively affect the Company’s systems and its data, as well as the data of the Company’sbusiness partners. Further, third parties, such as hosted solution providers, that provide services to the Company, could also be asource of security risk in the event of a failure of their own security systems and infrastructure.The costs to eliminate or address the foregoing security threats and vulnerabilities before or after a cyber incident could besignificant. The Company’s remediation efforts may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays or cessation ofservice, and loss of existing or potential suppliers or customers. In addition, breaches of the Company’s security measures and theunauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal, proprietary or confidential information about the Company, its business partnersor other third parties could expose the Company to significant potential liability and reputational harm. A s threats related tocyber attacks develop and grow, the Company may also find it necessary to make further investments to protect its data andinfrastructure, which may impact the Company’s profitability. Although the Company has insurance coverage for protectingagainst cyber attacks, it may not be sufficient to cover all possible claims, and the Company may suffer losses that could have amaterial adverse effect on its business. As a global enterprise, the Company could also be negatively impacted by existing andproposed laws and regulations, as well as government policies and practices related to cybersecurity, data privacy, datalocalization and data protection.Declines in the value of the Company’s inventory or unexpected order cancellations by the Company’s customers couldadversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.The electronic components and integrated products industries are subject to rapid technological change, new and enhancedproducts, changes in customer needs and changes in industry standards and regulatory requirements, which can contribute to adecline in value or obsolescence of inventory. Regardless of the general economic environment, it is possible that prices willdecline due to a decrease in demand or an oversupply of products and, as a result of the price declines, there may be greater riskof declines in inventory value. Although it is the policy of many of the Company’s11 Table of Contentssuppliers to offer certain protections from the loss in value of inventory (such as price protection and limited rights of return), theCompany cannot be assured that such policies will fully compensate for the loss in value, or that the suppliers will choose to, orbe able to, honor such agreements, some of which are not documented and, therefore, subject to the discretion of the supplier. Inaddition, the majority of the Company’s sales are made pursuant to individual purchase orders, rather than through long-termsales contracts. Where there is a contract, such contract is generally terminable at will upon notice. The Company cannot beassured that unforeseen new product developments, declines in the value of the Company’s inventory or unforeseen ordercancellations by its customers will not adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition orliquidity.Substantial defaults by the Company’s customers or suppliers on its accounts receivable or the loss of significant customerscould have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.A significant portion of the Company’s working capital consists of accounts receivable. If entities responsible for asignificant amount of accounts receivable were to cease doing business, direct their business elsewhere, become insolvent orunable to pay the amount they owe the Company, or were to become unwilling or unable to make such payments in a timelymanner, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected. An economicor industry downturn could adversely affect the collectability of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer paymentcycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations. A significant deterioration in theCompany’s ability to collect on accounts receivable in the United States could also impact the cost or availability of financingunder its accounts receivable securitization program.The Company may not have adequate or cost-effective liquidity or capital resources which could adversely affect theCompany’s operations.The Company’s ability to satisfy its cash needs and implement its capital allocation strategy depends on its ability togenerate cash from operations and to access the financial markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial,competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the Company’s control.The Company may need to satisfy its cash needs through external financing. However, external financing may not beavailable on acceptable terms or at all. As of July 1, 2017, Avnet had total debt outstanding of approximately $1.78 billion undervarious notes, secured borrowings and committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions. The Company needscash to make interest payments on, and to repay, this indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, such as funding itsongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs. Under the terms of any external financing, the Company may incur higherthan expected financing expenses and become subject to additional restrictions and covenants. Any material increase in theCompany’s financing costs could have an adverse effect on its profitability.Under certain of its credit facilities, the Company is required to maintain certain specified financial ratios and pass certainfinancial tests. If the Company fails to meet these financial ratios and/or pass these tests, it may be unable to continue to utilizethese facilities. If the Company is unable to utilize these facilities, it may not have sufficient cash available to make interestpayments, to repay indebtedness or for general corporate needs. General economic or business conditions, domestic and foreign,may be less favorable than management expects and could adversely impact the Company’s sales or its ability to collectreceivables from its customers, which may impact access to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program.12 Table of ContentsIn order to be successful, the Company must attract, retain, train, motivate and develop key employees, and failure to do socould adversely impact the Company’s results and strategic initiatives.Identifying, developing internally or hiring externally, training and retaining qualified employees are critical to theCompany’s future, and competition for experienced employees in the Company’s industry can be intense. Changingdemographics and labor work force trends may result in a loss of knowledge and skills as experienced workers leave theCompany. In addition, as global opportunities and industry demand shifts, and as the Company expands its offerings, realignment,training and hiring of skilled personnel may not be sufficiently rapid. From time to time the Company has effected restructurings,which eliminate a number of positions. Even if such personnel are not directly affected by the restructuring effort, suchterminations can have a negative impact on morale and the Company’s ability to attract and hire new qualified personnel in thefuture. If the Company loses existing qualified personnel or is unable to hire new qualified personnel, as needed, the Company’sbusiness, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.The agreements governing some of the Company’s financings contain various covenants and restrictions that limitmanagement’s discretion in operating the business and could prevent management from engaging in some activities that maybe beneficial to the Company’s business.The agreements governing the Company’s financing, including its credit facility, accounts receivable securitization programand the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding notes, contain various covenants and restrictions that, in certaincircumstances, limit the Company’s ability, and the ability of certain subsidiaries, to:·grant liens on assets;·make restricted payments (including, under certain circumstances, paying dividends on common stock or redeeming orrepurchasing common stock);·make certain investments;·merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;·incur additional debt; or·engage in certain transactions with affiliates.As a result of these covenants and restrictions, the Company may be limited in the future in how it conducts its business andmay be unable to raise additional debt, repurchase common stock, pay a dividend, compete effectively or make furtherinvestments.The Company may become involved in intellectual property disputes that could cause it to incur substantial costs, divertmanagement’s efforts or require it to pay substantial damages or licensing fees.From time to time, the Company receives notifications alleging infringements of intellectual property rights allegedly heldby others relating to the Company’s business or the products or services it sells. Litigation with respect to patents or otherintellectual property matters could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s efforts and other resources and couldhave an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. Further, the Company may be obligated to indemnify and defend itscustomers if the products or services the Company sells are alleged to infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights. Whilethe Company may be able to seek indemnification from its suppliers for itself and its customers against such claims, there is noassurance that it will be successful in realizing such indemnification or that the Company will be fully protected against suchclaims. In addition, the Company is exposed to potential liability for technology that it develops for which it has noindemnification protections. If an infringement claim against the13 Table of ContentsCompany is successful, the Company may be required to pay damages or seek royalty or license arrangements, which may not beavailable on commercially reasonable terms. The Company may have to stop selling certain products or services, which couldaffect its ability to compete effectively.Changes in tax rules and regulations, changes in interpretation of tax rules and regulations, changes in business performanceor unfavorable assessments from tax audits could adversely affect the Company’s effective tax rates, deferred taxes, financialcondition and results of operations.As a multinational corporation, the Company is subject to the tax laws and regulations of the United States and manyforeign jurisdictions. From time to time, regulations may be enacted that could adversely affect the Company’s tax positions.There can be no assurance that the Company’s cash flow, and in some cases the effective tax rate, will not be adversely affectedby these potential changes in regulations or by changes in the interpretation of existing tax law and regulations. The tax laws andregulations of the various countries where the Company has operations are extremely complex and subject to varyinginterpretations. Although the Company believes that its historical tax positions are sound and consistent with applicable laws,regulations and existing precedent, there can be no assurance that these tax positions will not be challenged by relevant taxauthorities or that the Company would be successful in defending against any such challenge.The Company’s future income tax expense could also be favorably or adversely affected by changes in the mix of earningsin countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes to itsoperating structure.If the Company fails to maintain effective internal controls, it may not be able to report its financial results accurately ortimely, or prevent or detect fraud, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business or the market price of theCompany’s securities.Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports andto effectively prevent or detect fraud. If the Company cannot provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent or detectfraud, its brand and operating results could be harmed. Internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detectmisstatements because such controls are inherently limited; such limitations include the possibility of human error, thecircumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls cannot provide absolute assurancewith respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, if not properly maintained and updated,internal controls over financial reporting may become inadequate. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internalcontrols, including any failure to implement required new or improved internal controls, or if the Company experiencesdifficulties in their implementation, the Company’s business and operating results could be harmed. Additionally, the Companymay be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, and the Company could fail to meet its reportingobligations, all of which could have an adverse effect on its business or the market price of the Company’s securities.Failure to comply with the requirements of environmental regulations could adversely affect the Company’s business.The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations addressing environmental and otherimpacts from product disposal, use of hazardous materials in products, recycling of products at the end of their useful life andother related matters. While the Company strives to ensure it is in full compliance with all applicable regulations, certain of theseregulations impose liability without fault. Additionally, the Company may be held responsible for the prior activities of an entityit acquired. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, as wellas third-party claims for property damage or personal injury. Further, environmental laws may become more stringent over time,imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violations.14 Table of Contents Item 1B. Unresolved Staff CommentsNot applicable. Item 2.

Legal ProceedingsAs a result primarily of certain former manufacturing operations, Avnet has incurred and may have future liability undervarious federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing pollution and exposure to, and thehandling, storage and disposal of, hazardous substances. For example, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”) and similar state laws, Avnet is and may be liable for thecosts of cleaning up environmental contamination on or from certain of its current or former properties, and at off-site locationswhere the Company disposed of wastes in the past. Such laws may impose joint and several liability. Typically, however, thecosts for clean up at such sites are allocated among potentially responsible parties based upon each party’s relative contribution tothe contamination, and other factors.Pursuant to SEC regulations, including but not limited to Item 103 of Regulation S-K, the Company regularly assesses thestatus of and developments in pending environmental and other compliance related legal proceedings to determine whether anysuch proceedings should be identified specifically in this discussion of legal proceedings, and has concluded that no particularpending legal proceeding requires public disclosure. Based on the information known to date, management believes that theCompany has appropriately accrued in its consolidated financial statements for its share of the estimable costs of environmentaland other compliance related matters.The Company is also currently subject to various pending and potential legal matters and investigations relating tocompliance with governmental laws and regulations, including import/export and environmental matters. The Company currentlybelieves that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position orliquidity, but could possibly be material to its results of operations in any one reporting period.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsFor an understanding of Avnet and the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the past threefiscal years, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the description of the business appearing in Item 1 of thisReport and the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes and schedule, and other information appearing inItem 15 of this Report. The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year. Fiscal 2017 and 2015 both contained 52 weeks, andfiscal 2016 contained 53 weeks. The extra week impacts the year-over-year analysis of fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2017 andfiscal 2015 in this MD&A.There are references to the impact of foreign currency translation in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations.When the U.S. Dollar strengthens and the stronger exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operationsof Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is a decrease in U.S. Dollars of reported results.Conversely, when the U.S. Dollar weakens and the weaker exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results ofoperations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is an increase in U.S. Dollars ofreported results. In the discussion that follows, results excluding this impact, primarily for subsidiaries in Europe, the Middle Eastand Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia/Pacific, are referred to as “excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currencyexchange rates” or “constant currency.”In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles inthe U.S. (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:·Sales adjusted for certain items that impact the year-over-year analysis, which includes the impact of certainacquisitions by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to include the sales of acquired businesses, as if the acquisitions hadoccurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. In addition, the prior year sales are adjusted for divestituresby adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to exclude the sales of divested businesses as if the divestitures had occurred at thebeginning of the earliest period presented. Fiscal 2016 sales are adjusted for the estimated impact of the extra week ofsales in fiscal 2016 as discussed above. Sales taking into account these adjustments are referred to as “organic sales.”·Operating income excluding (i) restructuring, integration and other expenses (see Restructuring, Integration and OtherExpenses in this MD&A), and (ii) amortization of acquired intangible assets and other. Operating income excludingsuch amounts is referred to as “adjusted operating income.” Adjusted operating income excludes the TS Business,which is reported within discontinued operations for all periods presented.The reconciliation of operating income to adjusted operating income is presented in the following table: Years Ended July 1, July 2, June 27, 2017 2016 2015 (Thousands)Operating income $461,400 $572,912 $653,146Restructuring, integration and other expenses 137,415 44,761 41,848Amortization of acquired intangible assets and other 54,526 9,784 18,130Adjusted operating income $653,341 $627,457 $713,124 21 Table of ContentsManagement believes that providing this additional information is useful to readers to better assess and understandoperating performance, especially when comparing results with prior periods or forecasting performance for future periods,primarily because management typically monitors the business both including and excluding these adjustments to GAAP results.Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in many cases, for measuring performancefor compensation purposes. However, any analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and inconjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. Results of OperationsExecutive SummarySales for fiscal 2017 were $17.44 billion, an increase of 4.2% from fiscal 2016 sales of $16.74 billion primarily due to theacquisition of Premier Farnell (“PF”). Organic sales in constant currency increased 1.0% year over year. Electronic Components(“EC”) sales of $16.47 billion decreased 1.6% and EC organic sales in constant currency increased approximately 1.0% year overyear.Gross profit margin of 13.6% increased 117 basis points from fiscal 2016 primarily as a result of gross profit marginimprovements from the acquisition of PF. Operating income margin was 2.6% in fiscal 2017 and 3.4% in fiscal 2016. Excluding restructuring, integration and otherexpenses and amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets from both periods, adjusted operating incomemargin was 3.7% in both fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016. EC operating income margin of 4.0% decreased 34 basis points year overyear primarily due to declines in the Americas region. SalesItems Impacting Year-over-Year Sales ComparisonsDuring fiscal 2017, the Company acquired PF. There were no acquisitions in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015. To facilitate moremeaningful year-over-year comparisons, the discussions that follow include organic sales as well as sales on a reportedbasis.

The organic sales increase in constant currencywas primarily due to organic growth in the EC EMEA region and organic growth in the PF business, offset by declines in the ECAsia region. As a result of certain supplier losses, as well as changes to supplier programs that negatively impact gross profit, theCompany may experience lower sales and gross profit in the future. The Company is implementing strategic initiatives designedto mitigate these conditions.Fiscal 2016 Comparison to Fiscal 2015The table below provides the comparison of reported and organic fiscal 2016 sales to fiscal 2015 sales to allow readers tobetter assess and understand the Company’s sales performance. 2015 to 2016 Sales from Organic Organic Sales Sales as Estimated Organic Sales Constant Reported Extra Week Sales Change Currency (Dollars in millions) Fiscal 2016 $16,740.6 $(300.0) $16,440.6 (6.9)% (4.4)%Fiscal 2015 17,655.3 — 17,653.3 Sales of $16.74 billion for fiscal 2016 decreased 5.2% from fiscal 2015 sales of $17.66 billion and organic sales in constantcurrency decreased 4.4% year over year. These decreases were due to declines in sales in the EC Americas and EC Asia regions,partially offset by an increase in sales in the EC EMEA region. Sales in the Americas decreased 6.9% due to lower overalldemand in the industrial markets served by EC Americas and from disruptions in customer delivery and service capabilitiesresulting from an ERP implementation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. In EMEA, organic sales in constant currency increased7.0% due to strong demand in the industrial markets served across the region. Asia organic sales decreased 9.5% year over year inconstant currency, which was primarily due to decreased select high volume supply chain engagements in fiscal 2016 comparedto fiscal 2015. 23 (1) Table of ContentsGross Profit and Gross Profit MarginsGross profit in fiscal 2017 was $2.37 billion, an increase of $291.5 million, or 14.0%, from fiscal 2016 primarily due to theacquisition of PF. Gross profit margin of 13.6% increased 117 basis points year over year primarily due to the acquisition of PFand from the impact of deselecting lower margin high volume supply chain engagements in EC Asia, partially offset by declinesin the EC western regions primarily due to the Americas region as a result of declines due to supplier program changes, a highermix of lower margin fulfillment sales and inefficiencies related to the ERP system.Gross profit in fiscal 2016 was $2.08 billion, a decrease of $132.2 million, or 6.0%, from fiscal 2015. Gross profit margin of12.4% decreased 11 basis points year over year primarily related to declines in the EC operating group primarily due to theAmericas region as a result of declines due to the go-live of an ERP system in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.Selling, General and Administrative ExpensesSelling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) were $1.77 billion in fiscal 2017, an increase of $310.4million, or 21.3%, from fiscal 2016. The year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of PFincluding the impact of additional amortization of intangible asset expense, partially offset by the impact of prior restructuringactions and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates between years. In fiscal 2017, SG&A expenses as a percentageof sales were 10.2% and as a percentage of gross profit were 74.7%, as compared with 8.7% and 70.3%, respectively, in fiscal2016. SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit increased over 400 basis points year over year due primarily to the impactof the PF acquisition. SG&A expenses were $1.46 billion in fiscal 2016, a decrease of $54.9 million, or 3.6%, from fiscal 2015. The year-over-year decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to reductions as a result of favorable changes in foreign currency exchangerates between years, and the impact of prior restructuring actions partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses for other costs,including employee merit compensation increases that took place in January 2016. In fiscal 2016, SG&A expenses as apercentage of sales were 8.7% and as a percentage of gross profit were 70.3%, as compared with 8.6% and 68.6%, respectively, infiscal 2015. SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit increased 172 basis points year over year due primarily to lower salesand the related impact on gross profit, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses as described above.

In addition, theCompany incurred integration, acquisition/divestiture, accelerated depreciation and other costs. Integration costs are primarilyrelated to costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses, the integration of certain regional and global businesses including Avnetafter the TS divestiture, and incremental costs incurred as part of the consolidation, relocation, and closure of warehouse andoffice facilities. Acquisition/divestiture costs consist primarily of professional fees and other costs incurred related to theacquisition, divestiture and closure of businesses including the acquisition of PF and the divestiture of TS. Accelerateddepreciation relates to the incremental depreciation expense incurred related to the shortening of the estimated useful life of theCompany’s ERP system in the Americas compared to depreciation expense based on the original useful life of such ERP system.Other costs consist primarily of any ongoing facilities’ operating costs associated with the consolidation, relocation and closure offacilities once such facilities have been vacated or substantially vacated, and other miscellaneous costs that relate to restructuring,integration and other expenses.24 Table of ContentsDuring fiscal 2017, the Company recorded restructuring, integration and other expenses of $137.4 million.

Operating IncomeDuring fiscal 2017, the Company had operating income of $461.4 million, representing a 19.5% decrease as compared withfiscal 2016 operating income of $572.9 million. Operating income margin was 2.6% in fiscal 2017 compared to 3.4% in fiscal2016. Both years included restructuring, integration and other expenses and the amortization of acquired intangible assets.Excluding these amounts from both years, adjusted operating income was $653.3 million, or 3.7% of sales, in fiscal 2017 ascompared with $627.5 million, or 3.7% of sales, in fiscal 2016. Although operating income margin was flat year over year, therewas an increase as a result of the acquisition of PF, substantially offset by a reduction at EC primarily in the Americas region. 25 Table of ContentsDuring fiscal 2016, the Company had operating income of $572.9 million, representing a 12.3% decrease as compared withfiscal 2015 operating income of $653.1 million. Operating income margin was 3.4% in fiscal 2016 compared to 3.7% in fiscal2015.

The decrease in adjustedoperating income was primarily the result of lower sales in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015.Interest ExpenseInterest expense for fiscal 2017 was $106.7 million, an increase of $14.8 million, or 16.0%, compared with fiscal 2016. Theincrease in interest expense was primarily related to new debt outstanding during portions of fiscal 2017 including debt incurredto finance the acquisition of PF.Interest expense for fiscal 2016 was $91.9 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 5.6%, compared with fiscal 2015. Theincrease in interest expense was primarily due to the issuance of $550.0 million of 4.625% Notes in March 2016 and acorresponding increase in average borrowings during the fourth quarter, partially offset by repayment at maturity of $250.0million of 6.00% Notes in September 2015.Other Expense, netDuring fiscal 2017, the Company incurred $44.3 million of other expense as compared with $3.0 million in fiscal 2016.

Amounts in both years are primarily attributable to foreign currency remeasurement including the correspondingcosts incurred to purchase forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to economically hedge such foreign currencyexposures.Income Tax ExpenseAvnet’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes from continuing operations was 15.2% in fiscal 2017 as comparedwith an effective tax rate of 18.2% in fiscal 2016. The fiscal 2017 effective tax rate is lower than the fiscal 2016 effective tax ratedue primarily to a favorable mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions, partially offset by tax expense from the establishment ofvaluation allowances and contingency reserves in fiscal 2017 as compared with a tax benefit from valuation allowances releasedin fiscal 2016.Avnet’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 18.2% in fiscal 2016 as compared with an effective tax rate of15.1% in fiscal 2015. The fiscal 2016 effective tax rate is higher than the fiscal 2015 effective tax rate primarily due to a lesser taxbenefit from the valuation allowance released in fiscal 2016 as compared with the amount released in fiscal 2015.Avnet’s effective tax rate is primarily a function of the tax rates in the numerous jurisdictions in which it does businessapplied to the mix of income before taxes. The effective tax rate may vary year over year as a result of changes in taxrequirements in these jurisdictions, management’s evaluation of its ability to recognize its net deferred tax assets and theestablishment of liabilities for unfavorable outcomes of tax positions taken on certain matters that are common to26 Table of Contentsmultinational enterprises and the actual outcome of those matters, including the elimination of existing liabilities for favorableoutcomes of tax positions or the expiration of statutes of limitations related to such liabilities.See Note 10, “Income taxes” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Annual Reporton Form 10-K for additional information related to income taxes.Income from Discontinued OperationsIncome from discontinued operations increased $146.3 million to $261.9 million in fiscal 2017 compared to $115.6 millionin fiscal 2016. Excluding the gain on sale of $222.4 million net of tax, income from discontinued operations decreased $76.1million in fiscal 2017, which only contained 34 weeks as a result of the sale of TS being completed on February 27, 2017.Income from discontinued operations increased $29.1 million to $115.6 million in fiscal 2016 compared to $86.5 million infiscal 2015. The year over year improvement was primarily driven by lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower salesyear over year.See Note 3, “Discontinued operations” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of thisAnnual Report on Form 10-K for additional information and detail on the financial results of discontinued operations.Net IncomeAs a result of the factors described in the preceding sections of this MD&A, the Company’s net income in fiscal 2017 was$525.3 million, or $4.08 per share on a diluted basis, compared with net income of $506.5 million, or $3.80 per share on a dilutedbasis, in fiscal 2016 and $571.9 million, or $4.12 per share on a diluted basis, in fiscal 2015.

Cash used for operating activities of discontinued operations was $589.7 million in fiscal 2017 compared to a cashgeneration of $273.2 million in fiscal 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of the sale of the TS Business being completedin February 2017, prior to such business completing the cash conversion cycle from its second fiscal quarter compared to fiscal2016, which reflected a full fiscal year of operations and cash flows for the TS Business. 27 Table of ContentsDuring fiscal 2016, the Company used $48.9 million of cash from operating activities for continuing operations ascompared with a cash generation of $317.9 million in fiscal 2015.

The Company also uses several sources of funding so that it does not become overlydependent on one source and to achieve a lower cost of funding through these different alternatives. These financingarrangements include public debt, short-term and long-term bank loans, a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and anaccounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”).The Company has small lines of credit and other forms of bank debt in the U.S. and various foreign locations to fund theshort-term working capital, foreign exchange, overdraft and letter of credit needs of its wholly owned subsidiaries globally. Avnetgenerally guarantees its subsidiaries’ obligations under such debt facilities. Outstanding borrowings under such forms of debt atthe end of fiscal 2017 was $10.8 million.See Note 8, “Debt” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form10-K for additional information on financing transactions including the Credit Facility, the Program and the outstanding Notes asof July 1, 2017.Covenants and ConditionsThe Program requires the Company to maintain certain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios in order to continueutilizing the Program. The Program also contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold. If theseconditions are not met, the Company may not be able to borrow any additional funds and the financial institutions may considerthis an amortization event, as defined in the Program agreements, which would permit the financial institutions to liquidate theaccounts receivables sold to cover any outstanding borrowings. Circumstances that could affect the Company’s ability to meet therequired covenants and conditions of the Program include the Company’s ongoing profitability and various other economic,market and industry factors. Management does not believe that the covenants under the Program limit the Company’s ability topursue its intended business strategy or its future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of theProgram as of July 1, 2017.The Credit Facility contains certain covenants with various limitations on debt incurrence, share repurchases, dividends,investments and capital expenditures and also includes financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum interestcoverage and leverage ratios. Management does not believe that the covenants in the Credit Facility limit the Company’s abilityto pursue its intended business strategy or its future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of theCredit Facility as of July 1, 2017.See Liquidity below for further discussion of the Company’s availability under these various facilities.LiquidityThe Company had cash and cash equivalents of $836.4 million as of July 1, 2017, of which $619.5 million was held outsidethe U.S. As of July 2, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.03 billion, of which $972.7 million was heldoutside of the U.S.29 Table of ContentsAs of July 1, 2017, there were $100.0 million in borrowings outstanding and $3.1 million in letters of credit issued underthe Credit Facility and $142.0 million outstanding under the Program. During fiscal 2017, the Company had an average dailybalance outstanding under the Credit Facility of approximately $475.4 million and $504.0 million under the Program. Duringfiscal 2016, the Company had an average daily balance outstanding under the Credit Facility of approximately $306.8 million and$745.2 million under the Program. The Company also expects to renew or replace the Program on similar terms, subject to marketconditions, before its maturity in August 2018. The Company can use cash on hand and availability under the Credit Facility torepay borrowings due under the Program in the event it cannot be renewed or replaced. As of July 1, 2017, the combinedavailability under the Credit Facility and the Program was $1.35 billion.During periods of weakening demand in the electronic components industry, the Company typically generates cash fromoperating activities. Conversely, the Company is more likely to use operating cash flows for working capital requirements duringperiods of higher growth. During fiscal 2017, the Company generated $221.0 million from operating activities for continuingoperations.Liquidity is subject to many factors, such as normal business operations as well as general economic, financial, competitive,legislative, and regulatory factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Foreign cash balances are generally used for ongoingworking capital and capital expenditure needs and to support acquisitions, and are currently expected to be permanentlyreinvested outside the United States. If these funds were needed for general corporate use in the United States, the Company mayincur significant income taxes. Under certain circumstances the U.S. Internal Revenue Code may permit the distribution offoreign cash and unremitted earnings to be tax-free depending on the nature of the distribution. In addition, local governmentregulations may restrict the Company’s ability to move funds among various locations under certain circumstances. Managementdoes not believe such restrictions would limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy. Managementbelieves that Avnet’s available borrowing capacity, its current cash on hand including marketable securities obtained from thesale of the TS Business and the Company’s expected ability to generate operating cash flows in the future will be sufficient tomeet its future liquidity needs. The Company also may issue debt or equity securities in the future and management believes theCompany will have adequate access to the capital markets, if needed.During fiscal 2017, the Company utilized $802.7 million of cash, net of cash acquired, for acquisitions, repaid $242.8million of assumed debt relating to the acquisition of PF and repaid approximately $1.46 billion of debt primarily with theproceeds from the sale of TS. The Company has made, and expects to continue to make, strategic investments through acquisitionactivity to the extent the investments strengthen Avnet’s competitive position and meet management’s return on capitalthresholds.In addition to continuing to make investments in acquisitions, as of July 1, 2017, the Company may repurchase up to anaggregate of $399.1 million of the Company’s common stock through a $1.75 billion share repurchase program approved by theBoard of Directors. The Company plans to repurchase stock from time to time at the discretion of management, subject tostrategic considerations, market conditions and other factors. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase programat any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors such asshare price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and prevailing market conditions. Additionally, the Company currentlyexpects to pay quarterly cash dividends on shares of its common stock, subject to approval of the Board of Directors. Duringfiscal 2017, the Company paid cash dividends of $88.7 million on its common stock or approximately $0.18 per share on aquarterly basis.30 Table of ContentsThe Company also expects to make capital expenditures, including between $75 million and $125 million over the next twofiscal years, to implement a global ERP system. Additionally, as the Company integrates PF and restructures to transform Avnetinto an electronic components focused business, the Company expects to use cash for future restructuring, integration and otherexpenses.See Item 6, Selected Financial Data in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on theCompany’s liquidity and related ratios.Long-Term Contractual ObligationsThe Company has the following contractual obligations outstanding as of July 1, 2017 (in millions): Payments due by period Lessthan Morethan Contractual Obligations Total 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years 5 years Long-term debt obligations $1,792.7 $50.1 $542.5 $300.1 $900.0 Interest expense on long-term debt obligations 429.1 77.5 147.1 100.9 103.6 Operating lease obligations 286.9 66.5 93.4 58.3 68.7 (1)Excludes unamortized discount and issuance costs on debt.(2)Represents interest expense due on debt by using fixed interest rates for fixed rate debt and assuming the same interest rate atthe end of fiscal 2017 for variable rate debt.At July 1, 2017, the Company had an estimated liability for income tax contingencies of $106.8 million, which is notincluded in the above table. Cash payments associated with the settlement of these liabilities that are expected to be paid withinthe next 12 months is $8.4 million. The settlement period for the remaining amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, includingrelated accrued interest and penalties, cannot be determined and therefore was not included in the table.The Company does not currently have any material long-term commitments for purchases of inventories from suppliers orfor capital expenditures.Critical Accounting PoliciesThe Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of theseconsolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets, liabilities, sales and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon the Company’s continuous evaluation ofavailable information including historical results and anticipated future events. Actual results may differ materially from theseestimates.The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, mostimportant to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require significant judgmentsand estimates. Management believes the Company’s most critical accounting policies at the end of fiscal 2017 relate to:31 (1)(2)Table of ContentsValuation of ReceivablesThe Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses primarily resulting from customer defaults.Bad debt expense and the related allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based upon historic customer default experienceas well as the Company’s regular assessment of the current and historical financial condition of its customers. Therefore, if actualcollection experience or the financial condition of customers were to change, management would evaluate whether adjustments tothe allowance for doubtful accounts might be necessary.Valuation of InventoriesInventories are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The Company’s inventories includeelectronic components sold into changing, cyclical and competitive markets wherein such inventories may be subject to declinesin market value or obsolescence.The Company regularly evaluates inventories for obsolescence, current market prices and other factors that may renderinventories less marketable. Write-downs are recorded so that inventories reflect the approximate net realizable value and takeinto account the Company’s contractual provisions with its suppliers, which may provide certain protections to the Company forproduct obsolescence and price erosion in the form of rights of return, stock rotation rights, obsolescence allowances and priceprotections. Because of the large number of products and suppliers and the complexity of managing the process around priceprotections and stock rotations, estimates are made regarding the realizable value of inventories. Additionally, assumptions aboutfuture demand, market conditions and decisions to discontinue certain product lines impact the evaluation of whether to write-down inventories. If assumptions about future demand change or actual market conditions are less favorable than those assumedby management, management would evaluate whether additional write-downs of inventories are required. In any case, actual netrealizable values could be different from those currently estimated.Accounting for Income TaxesManagement’s judgment is required in determining income tax expense, unrecognized tax benefits and in measuringdeferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowances recorded against net deferred tax assets. The recoverability of theCompany’s net deferred tax assets is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certainjurisdictions. In addition, the Company considers historic levels and types of income, expectations and risk associated withestimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for valuationallowances. Should the Company determine that it is not able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future,additional valuation allowances may be recorded against the deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase to income taxexpense in the period such determination is made. Similarly, should the Company determine that it is able to realize all or part ofits deferred tax assets that have an associated valuation allowance established, the Company may release a valuation allowancewith a corresponding benefit to income tax expense in the period such determination is made.The Company establishes contingent liabilities for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain taxmatters. These liabilities are based on management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustainedupon examination by tax authorities. There may be differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these matters thatmay result in changes in estimates to such liabilities. To the extent such changes in estimates are necessary, the Company’seffective tax rate may potentially fluctuate as a result. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, accrued interest andpenalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense.32 Table of ContentsIn determining the Company’s income tax expense, management considers current tax regulations in the numerousjurisdictions in which it operates, and exercises judgment for interpretation and application. Changes to such tax regulations ordisagreements with the Company’s interpretation or application by tax authorities in any of the Company’s major jurisdictionsmay have a significant impact on the Company’s income tax expense.See Note 1 and Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Annual Report onForm 10-K for further discussion on valuation allowances and unrecognized tax benefits.Goodwill and Intangible Asset ImpairmentThe Company has a significant amount of goodwill and long-lived assets, created through historical acquisitions that aresubject to the risk of impairment. In assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company is required to make significant judgments related to the fair value of itsreporting units including assumptions about the future operating performance of such reporting units. The Company is alsorequired to make judgments regarding the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that would more likely than notreduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below their carrying value, the results of which would determine whether aninterim goodwill impairment test must be performed. Should these assumptions or judgments change in the future based uponmarket conditions or should the structure of the Company’s reporting units change based upon changes in business strategy orstructure, the Company may be required to perform an interim impairment test which may result in goodwill impairment expense.During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined there wasno goodwill impairment at any of its reporting units. In fiscal 2017, there was one reporting unit for which the estimated fair valuewas not substantially in excess of the carrying value of such reporting unit. The percentage by which the estimated fair valueexceeded carrying value was approximately 8% for the Electronic Components Americas reporting unit, which has approximately22% of the Company’s total goodwill.In order to estimate the fair value of its reporting units, the Company uses a combination of an income approach,specifically a discounted cash flow methodology, and a market approach. The discounted cash flow methodology includes marketparticipant assumptions for, among other factors, forecasted sales, gross profit margins, operating expenses, cash flows, perpetualgrowth rates and long-term discount rates, all of which require judgments and estimates by management which are inherentlyuncertain. The market approach methodology requires significant assumptions related to comparable transactions, marketmultiples, capital structure and control premiums. These assumptions, judgments and estimates may change in the future basedupon market conditions or other events and could result in goodwill impairment expense.Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment wheneverevents or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, which requiresthe Company to use judgment. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, long-lived assets are groupedwith other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows ofother assets and liabilities (“asset group”). An impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flowsexpected by management from the use of the asset group including its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. Animpairment is measured as the amount by which an asset group’s net book value exceeds its estimated fair value. Thedetermination of fair value requires the Company to make certain judgments and assumptions. The Company considers a long-lived asset to be abandoned when it has ceased use of such abandoned asset and if the Company has no intent to use or repurposethe asset in the future. The Company33 Table of Contentscontinually evaluates the carrying value and the remaining economic useful life of all long-lived assets and will adjust thecarrying value and remaining useful life if and when appropriate.See Note 1 and Note 7 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Annual Report onForm 10-K for further discussion on the goodwill and long-lived asset impairment test evaluations.Contingencies and LitigationFrom time to time, the Company may become a party to, or otherwise be involved in, various lawsuits, claims,investigations and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While litigation is subject to inherentuncertainties, management does not anticipate that any such matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’sfinancial condition, liquidity or results of operations.The Company also is currently subject to various pending and potential legal matters and investigations relating tocompliance with governmental laws and regulations, including import/export and environmental matters. For certain of thesematters it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potentialexposure or the range of possible loss for such matters due primarily to being in the preliminary stages of the related proceedingsand investigations. The Company currently believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect onthe Company’s financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to its results of operations in any one reportingperiod. Recently Issued Accounting PronouncementsRecently issued accounting pronouncements — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issuedAccounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended (“ASU 2014-09”), to supersedenearly all-existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principles of ASU 2014-09 are to recognize revenuewhen promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to bereceived for those goods or services. Application of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 is expected to require more judgment andestimates within the revenue recognition process compared to existing GAAP. ASU 2014-09 is required to be adopted by theCompany in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company expects to adopt the requirements of ASU 2014-09 using retrospectiveadoption to each prior reporting period presented. The Company also expects that disclosures related to revenue recognitionincluding judgments made will increase compared to existing GAAP. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of thefuture adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and does not currently expect significant changes inrevenue recognition practices for continuing operations compared to existing GAAP.In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Theupdate requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for leases with lease terms greaterthan 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning afterDecember 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020,using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on itsconsolidated financial statements.34 Table of ContentsIn October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-EntityTransfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”). The update amends accounting guidance for intra-entity transfers ofassets other than inventory to require the recognition of income tax consequences when the transfer occurs. The update iseffective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoptionpermitted. A modified retrospective approach should be applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoptionof ASU 2016-16 on its consolidated financial statements.In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715):Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). Thenew guidance requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost to be presented in the same income statement lineitem as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period and allows only the service costcomponent eligible for capitalization in assets. Other components of the net periodic benefit cost are to be presented separatelyfrom the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income and the line item must beappropriately described. If a separate line item is not used, the line item used in the income statement to present the othercomponents of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,and interim periods within that annual period, with early adoption permitted. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively. Thenew guidance primarily impacts the income statement presentation of net periodic benefit cost and the Company does not believeadoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements including income before incometaxes, but the reported amount of operating income will decrease compared to existing presentation.In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-09, “ Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718):Scope of Modification Accounting ” (“ASU 2017-09”). The update provides guidance as to which changes to the terms orconditions of a share-based payment award should be accounted for as a modification under Topic 718. Specifically, an entitywould not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of an award as an equity orliability instrument are the same immediately before and after the modification. The standard is effective for the Company forannual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and prospective application is required. TheCompany is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-09 on its consolidated financial statements. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskThe Company seeks to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreigncurrency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements, from time to time, which are intended to provide an economichedge against all or a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. The Company continues to have exposure to such risksto the extent they are not economically hedged.The following table sets forth the scheduled maturities of the Company’s debt outstanding at July 1, 2017 (dollars inmillions): Fiscal Year 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter Total Liabilities: Fixed rate debt $0.5 $0.3 $300.2 $0.1 $300.0 $900.0 $1,501.1 Floating rate debt $49.6 $242.0 $ — $ — $ — $ — $291.6 (1)Excludes unamortized discounts and issuance costs.35 (1)Table of ContentsThe following table sets forth the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt and the average interest rates at July1, 2017, and July 2, 2016 (dollars in millions): Carrying Value Fair Value at Carrying Value Fair Value at at July 1, 2017 at July 1, 2017 at July 2, 2016 July 2, 2016 Liabilities: Fixed rate debt $1,501.1 $1,576.5 $1,502.7 $1,596.9 Average interest rate 4.8% 5.3% Floating rate debt $291.6 $291.6 $1,001.5 $1,001.5 Average interest rate 2.1% 1.5% (1)Excludes unamortized discounts and issuance costs. Fair value was estimated primarily based upon quoted market prices forthe Company’s public long-term notes.Many of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies. Thissubjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reduces this riskby utilizing natural hedging (i.e., offsetting receivables and payables) as well as by creating offsetting positions through the use ofderivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts typically with maturities of less than sixtydays (“economic hedges”). The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks to the extent they are not hedged.The Company adjusts any economic hedges to fair value through the consolidated statements of operations primarily within“other expense, net.” Therefore, the changes in valuation of the underlying items being economically hedged are offset by thechanges in fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company did not have material gains or lossesrelated to the forward foreign currency exchange contracts during fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015. A hypothetical 10% change inforeign currency exchange rates under the forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at July 1, 2017, would resultin an increase or decrease of approximately $10.0 million to the fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts,which would generally be offset by an opposite effect on the underlying exposure being economically hedged.

Financial Statements and Supplementary DataThe financial statements and supplementary data are listed under Item 15 of this Report. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountant s on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.36 (1)Table of Contents Item 9A. Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresThe Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated theeffectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the reporting period covered by this report onForm 10-K. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the endof the period covered by this report on Form 10-K, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective such thatmaterial information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act isrecorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’srules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer andprincipal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingThe Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible forestablishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assuranceregarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because of inherent limitations, internal control overfinancial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, controls may become inadequate because of changes inconditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management conducted an evaluation of theeffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2017. In making this assessment,management used the 2013 framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee ofSponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and concluded that the Company maintained effective internal controlover financial reporting as of July 1, 2017.The Company acquired Premier Farnell Plc. (“PF”) on October 17, 2016. Management excluded PF from its assessment ofthe effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2017. PF represented approximately 15%of the Company’s total consolidated assets as of July 1, 2017, and approximately 5% of the Company’s total consolidated salesfor the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017.The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the effectiveness of theCompany’s internal controls over financial reporting as of July 1, 2017, as stated in its audit report which is included herein.Changes in Internal Control Over Financial ReportingDuring the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, theCompany’s internal control over financial reporting.

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statementschedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 1, 2017 , as listed in the accompanying index. We also have audited Avnet’sinternal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2017 , based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Avnet’s management is responsible for theseconsolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness ofinternal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting . Ourresponsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on Avnet’s internalcontrol over financial reporting based on our audits.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatementand whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financialstatements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accountingprinciples used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internalcontrol over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a materialweakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits alsoincluded performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basisfor our opinions.A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financialreporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’sinternal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonabledetail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactionsare recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receiptsand expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assetsthat could have a material effect on the financial statements.Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of anyevaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that thedegree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avnet as ofJuly 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016 , and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 1,2017 , in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for each of theyears in the three-year period ended July 1, 2017 , when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Furthermore, in our opinion, Avnet maintained, in all material respects,effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2017 , based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company acquired Premier Farnell Plc (PF) on October 17, 2016. Management excluded PF from its assessment of the effectiveness of internalcontrol over financial reporting as of July 1, 2017. PF represented approximately 15% of the Company’s total consolidated assets as of July 1, 2017,and approximately 5% of the Company’s total consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Summary of significant accounting policie sBasis of presentation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avnet, Inc. and all ofits majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Avnet”). All intercompany and intracompany accounts andtransactions have been eliminated. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to the consolidated financialstatements relates to the Company's continuing operations and does not include the results of discontinued operations.Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentationincluding the presentation of discontinued operations.Fiscal year — The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday closest to June 30th.Fiscal 2017 and 2015 contain 52 weeks compared to 53 weeks in fiscal 2016. Unless otherwise noted, all references to “fiscal” orany other “year” shall mean the Company’s fiscal year.Management estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accountingprinciples in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certainreported amounts of assets and liabilities, reported amounts of sales and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets andliabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.Cash and cash equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of threemonths or less including money market funds to be cash equivalents.Inventories — Inventories, comprised principally of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value,whichever is lower. The Company regularly reviews the cost of inventory against its estimated net realizable value, consideringhistorical experience and any contractual rights of return, stock rotations, obsolescence allowances or price protections providedby the Company’s suppliers, and records a lower of cost or net realizable value write-down if any inventories have a cost inexcess of their estimated net realizable value. The Company does not incorporate any non-contractual protections whenestimating the net realizable value of its inventories.Depreciation, amortization and useful lives — The Company reports property, plant and equipment at cost, lessaccumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire or construct the assets, required installation costs, interestcapitalized during the construction period, and any expenditure that substantially adds to the value of or substantially extends theuseful life of an existing asset. Additionally, the Company capitalizes qualified costs related to software obtained or developed forinternal use. Software obtained for internal use has generally been enterprise-level business operations, logistics and financesoftware that is customized to meet the Company’s specific operational requirements. The Company begins depreciation andamortization (“depreciation”) for property, plant and equipment when an asset is both in the location and condition for itsintended use.Property, plant, and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives. The estimateduseful lives for property, plant, and equipment are typically as follows: buildings — 30 years; machinery, fixtures and equipment— 2-10 years; information technology hardware and software — 2-10 years; and leasehold improvements — over the applicableminimum lease term or economic useful life if shorter.47 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The Company amortizes intangible assets acquired in business combinations using the straight-line method over theestimated economic useful lives of the intangible assets from the date of acquisition, which is generally between 5-10 years.Long-lived assets impairment — Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, arereviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group maynot be recoverable. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, long-lived assets are grouped with otherassets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assetsand liabilities (“asset group”). An impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result fromthe use of the asset group and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. An impairment is measured as the amountby which an asset group’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company considers a long-lived asset to beabandoned when it has ceased use of such abandoned asset and if the Company has no intent to use or repurpose the asset in thefuture. The Company continually evaluates the carrying value and the remaining economic useful life of long-lived assets andwill adjust the carrying value and remaining useful life if and when appropriate.Goodwill — Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair valueassigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but instead testsgoodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter and, if necessary, records any impairment resulting from suchgoodwill impairment testing as a component of operating expenses. Impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level,and the Company had four reporting units as of the fiscal 2017 annual goodwill impairment testing date defined as each of thethree regions (Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific) within the Company’s Electronic Components operating segment and thePremier Farnell operating segment. The Company will perform an interim impairment test between required annual tests if factsand circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill is less than itscarrying value.In performing goodwill impairment testing, the Company may first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is not greater than its carrying value, the Company must perform a quantitativeimpairment test. The Company defines the fair value of a reporting unit as the price that would be received to sell the reportingunit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the impairment test date. To determine the fair value ofa reporting unit, the Company primarily uses the income approach methodology of valuation, which includes the discounted cashflow method, and the market approach methodology of valuation, which considers values of comparable businesses to estimatethe fair value of the Company’s reporting units.Significant management judgment is required when estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting units from amarket participant perspective including the forecasting of future operating results, the discount rates and expected future growthrates used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation, and in the selection of comparable businesses and related marketmultiples that are used in the market approach. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value assignedto that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying valueassigned to that reporting unit, then a goodwill impairment loss is measured based on such difference.48 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Foreign currency translation — The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at theexchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the related translation adjustments reported as a separate component ofshareholders’ equity and comprehensive income. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailingthroughout the period. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Avnet subsidiaries thatare party to the transactions are remeasured at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date or upon settlement of thetransaction. Gains and losses from such remeasurements are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a componentof “other (expense) income, net.”Income taxes — The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxassets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax impact of differences between the consolidated financial statementcarrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measuredusing enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Theeffect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized within income tax expense in the periodin which the new rate is enacted. Based upon historical and estimated levels of future taxable income and analysis of other keyfactors, the Company may increase or decrease a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as deemed necessary, to statesuch assets at their estimated net realizable value.The Company establishes contingent liabilities for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain taxmatters. These liabilities are based on management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustainedupon examination by the relevant tax authorities. There may be differences between the estimated and actual outcomes of thesematters that may result in future changes in estimates to such unrecognized tax benefits. To the extent such changes in estimatesare required; the Company’s effective tax rate may potentially fluctuate as a result. In accordance with the Company’s accountingpolicies, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense.Self-insurance — In the U.S., the Company is primarily self-insured for medical, workers’ compensation, and general,product and automobile liability costs; however, the Company also has stop-loss insurance policies in place to limit theCompany’s exposure to individual and aggregate claims made. Liabilities for these programs are estimated based uponoutstanding claims and claims estimated to be incurred but not yet reported based upon historical loss experience. These estimatesare subject to variability due to changes in trends of losses for outstanding claims and incurred but not reported claims, includingexternal factors such as the number of and cost of claims, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns.Revenue recognition — Revenue from the sale of products or services is recognized when persuasive evidence of anarrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable andcollectability is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met upon either shipment or delivery to customers, dependingupon the sales terms.In addition, the Company has certain contractual relationships with its customers and suppliers whereby Avnet assumes anagency relationship in the sales transaction primarily related to the performance of fulfillment logistics services to deliver productfor which the Company is not the primary obligor. In such agency arrangements, the Company recognizes the net fee associatedwith serving as an agent within sales with no associated cost of sales.49 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Revenues are recorded net of discounts, customer rebates and estimated returns. Provisions are made for discounts andcustomer rebates, which are primarily timing or volume specific, and are estimated based on historical trends and anticipatedcustomer buying patterns. Provisions for returns and other sales adjustments are estimated based on historical sales returnsexperience, credit memo experience and other known factors.Vendor allowances and consideration — Consideration received from suppliers for price protection, product rebates,marketing/promotional activities, or any other programs are recorded when earned under the terms and conditions of suchsupplier programs as adjustments to product costs or selling, general and administrative expenses depending upon the nature andcontractual requirements related to the consideration received. Some of these supplier programs require management to makeestimates and may extend over one or more reporting periods.Comprehensive income — Comprehensive income (loss) represents net income for the year adjusted for certain changes inshareholders’ equity. Accumulated comprehensive income items impacting comprehensive income (loss) includes foreigncurrency translation and the impact of the Company’s pension liability adjustments, net of tax.Stock-based compensation — The Company measures stock-based payments at fair value and generally recognizes theassociated operating expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period (see Note 13). A stock-based payment is considered vested for accounting expense attribution purposes when the employee’s retention of the award is nolonger contingent on providing continued service. Accordingly, the Company recognizes all stock-based compensation expensefor awards granted to retirement eligible employees over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility isachieved, if less than the stated requisite service period. The expense attribution approach for retirement eligible employees doesnot affect the overall amount of compensation expense recognized, but instead accelerates the recognition of expense.Restructuring and exit activities — The determination of when the Company accrues for involuntary termination benefitsunder restructuring plans depends on whether the termination benefits are provided under an on-going benefit arrangement orunder a one-time benefit arrangement. The Company accounts for on-going benefit arrangements in accordance with ASC 712Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits and accounts for one-time benefit arrangements in accordance with ASC 420 Exit orDisposal Cost Obligations . If applicable, the Company records such costs into operating expense over the terminated employee’sfuture service period beyond any minimum retention period. Other costs associated with restructuring or exit activities mayinclude contract termination costs including operating leases and impairments of long-lived assets, which are expensed inaccordance with ASC 420 and ASC 360 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and Property, Plant and Equipment , respectively.Business combinations — The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accountingand records any identifiable definite-lived intangible assets separate from goodwill. Intangible assets are recorded at their fairvalue based on estimates as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded as the residual amount of the purchase priceconsideration less the fair value assigned to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date ofacquisition. Contingent consideration, which represents an obligation of the acquirer to transfer additional assets or equityinterests to the former owner as part of the purchase price if specified future events occur or conditions are met, is accounted forat the acquisition date fair value either as a liability or as equity depending on the terms of the acquisition agreement.50 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Concentration of credit risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit riskprincipally consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests itsexcess cash primarily in overnight time deposits and institutional money market funds with highly rated financial institutions. Toreduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, in some instances,has obtained credit insurance coverage to reduce such risk. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses fromcustomers, but has not historically experienced material losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in anyparticular end market or geographic area.Fair value — The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value based upon an exit price, representing theamount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between marketparticipants. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , requires inputs used in valuation techniques for measuring fair value on arecurring or non-recurring basis be assigned to a hierarchical level as follows: Level 1 are observable inputs that reflect quotedprices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 are observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs thatare corroborated by market data and Level 3 are unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. During fiscal 2017,2016, and 2015, there were no transfers of assets measured at fair value between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. Thecarrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payableapproximate their fair values at July 1, 2017 due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. At July 1, 2017, and July2, 2016, the Company had $208.3 million and $8.7 million, respectively, of cash equivalents that were measured at fair valuebased upon Level 1 criteria. The Company’s investments in marketable securities were also measured at fair value based uponLevel 1 criteria. See Note 8 for discussion of the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and Note 11 for a discussion of thefair value of the Company’s pension plan assets. Derivative financial instruments — See Note 4 for discussion of the Company’s accounting policies related to derivativefinancial instruments.Marketable securities — The Company determines the classification of investments in marketable securities at the time ofacquisition and reevaluates such designation at each reporting period. The Company has classified its investment in marketablesecurities as trading with any realized or unrealized changes in fair value being classified within other (expense) income, net inthe consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 for further discussion about marketable securities.Accounts receivable securitization — The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program whereby theCompany sells certain receivables and retains a subordinated interest and servicing rights to those receivables. The securitizationprogram does not qualify for off balance sheet sales accounting and is accounted for as a secured financing as discussed further inNote 8.Recently adopted accounting pronouncements — In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04,Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). The amendmentsin ASU 2017-04 simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating “step two” from the quantitative goodwillimpairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity performs its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing theestimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by whichthe carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s estimated fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill allocated tothe reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income51 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwillimpairment loss, if applicable. An entity will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if aquantitative impairment test is necessary. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units,even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. Entities will be required to disclose the amount of goodwill at reporting unitswith zero or negative carrying amounts. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods withinthose periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company has early adopted this standardduring the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 in connection with its required annual goodwill impairment test, which did not have animpact on its consolidated financial statements.In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The update provides guidance for eight specificcash flow classification issues with respect to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified within thestatement of cash flows in an effort to reduce existing diversity in practice. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in aninterim period.

Additionally, Avnet assumed $242.8 million of debt at fair value. The PF business and the goodwill acquiredis being integrated into Avnet’s continuing operations and is considered a reportable segment at the end of fiscal 2017. In connection with the acquisition of PF, the Company incurred certain acquisition related costs during fiscal 2017,including approximately $19.0 million of acquisition related professional fees and closing costs included within restructuring,integration and other expenses, and approximately $45.0 million of expenses within other (expense) income, net for acquisitionfinancing related fees including foreign currency economic hedging costs and bridge financing commitment fees.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company updated its estimated acquisitiondate fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the most significant of which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of$21.1 million, a decrease in property, plant and equipment of $3.6 million, a decrease in inventories of $6.6 million, a decrease inaccounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities of $21.2 million and a decrease in other long-term liabilities of$10.1 million. The Company expects the final valuations and assessments will be completed by the first quarter of fiscal 2018,which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values included in the following table: PreliminaryAcquisitionMethod Values (Thousands)Cash $46,354Trade and other receivables, net 187,303Inventories 328,037Property, plant and equipment 52,621Intangible assets 295,112Total identifiable assets acquired $909,427 Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities $160,724Short-term debt 242,814Other long-term liabilities 140,431Total identifiable liabilities acquired $543,969Net identifiable assets acquired 365,458Goodwill 475,862Net assets acquired $841,320Trade receivables of $160.4 million were recorded at estimated fair value amounts; however, adjustments to acquiredamounts were not significant as book value approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of trade receivables. Approximately $10.0 million of goodwill associated with the PF acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.Pro forma and historical results (Unaudited)Unaudited pro forma information from continuing operations is presented as if the acquisition of PF occurred at thebeginning of fiscal 2016. The pro forma information presented below does not purport to present what actual results would havebeen had the acquisition in fact occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2016, nor does the information project results for any futureperiod.53 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC.

(“Hackster”), a start-up online community of engineers,makers and hobbyists. The purchase price of Hackster was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 3. Discontinued operations and gain on sale of discontinued operationsIn February 2017, the Company completed the sale of its Technology Solutions operating group (“TS” or the “TSBusiness”) to Tech Data Corporation (the “Buyer”), for approximately $2.86 billion in a combination of $2.61 billion in cashincluding estimated closing adjustments discussed further below and 2.8 million shares of the Buyer valued at $247.2 million atclosing. The TS Business has been classified as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for all periodspresented as the sale of the TS Business represented a strategic shift to Avnet.In connection with the closing of the TS sale, the Company recognized a gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of taxof $222.4 million. Included in the measurement of the gain were estimates for the income taxes due on the gain and the additionalcash consideration expected from the Buyer related to a closing date net working capital sales price adjustment. The Company isfinalizing such net working capital sales price adjustment with the Buyer as provided for in the sales agreement. The Companyhas included its estimated amount due from the Buyer for the closing date net working capital sales price adjustment as theprincipal component of the $253.8 million of prepaid and other current assets as of July 1, 2017. The final net working capitalsales price adjustment, as determined through the established process outlined in the sales agreement, may be materially differentfrom the Company’s estimate. The impact of any probable changes in the net working capital adjustment will be recorded as anadjustment to the gain on sale from discontinued operations in the period such change occurs. Additionally, the income taxesassociated with the gain will be impacted by the final geographic allocation of the sales price, which must be agreed to with theBuyer as required in the sales agreement and may be materially different from the Company’s estimates. The impact of anychanges in estimated income taxes on the gain will be recorded as an adjustment to the gain on sale from discontinued operationsin the period such change in estimate occurs. The Company expects the net working capital sales price adjustment and the incometax on the gain to be finalized by the end of fiscal 2018.54 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The Buyer shares received by the Company are recorded within “Marketable securities” on the Company’s ConsolidatedBalance Sheets. The Company has classified these shares as trading securities in accordance with ASC 320 due to managementhaving the intent to trade the securities. During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded $34.1 million of unrealized gains on the sharesdue to changes in fair value between the closing date and July 1, 2017, which are recorded in “Other (expense) income, net” onthe Consolidated Statements of Operations using Level 1 quoted active market prices. The definitive sales agreement includestime based contractual restrictions from the closing date related to the Company’s sale of Buyer shares including a 6-monthrestriction for 50 percent of the shares and a 12-month restriction for the remaining 50 percent. During the fourth quarter of fiscal2017, the Company entered into economic hedges for the shares during the contractual restriction periods through the purchase ofderivative financial instruments, which economically fixes the amount that will be realized upon the sale of the shares atapproximately $247 million. The changes in fair value related to such economic share price hedge are also recorded within other(expense) income, net and offset changes in fair value of the underlying shares.In connection with the sale of the TS Business, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”),pursuant to which the Buyer will pay the Company to provide certain information technology, distribution, facilities, finance andhuman resources related services for various periods of time depending upon the services not to exceed approximately two yearsfrom the closing date. Expenses incurred by the Company to provide such services under the TSA are classified within selling,general and administrative expenses and amounts billed to the Buyer to provide such services are classified as a reduction of suchexpenses. At the end of fiscal 2017, the Buyer had initiated the termination of several TSA services and substantially all TSAservices are expected to be terminated by the end of fiscal 2018.Financial results of the TS Business through the closing date are presented as “Income from discontinued operations, net oftax” and “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included within thegain on sale is $181.5 million of expense reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income primarily related to TS Businesscumulative translation adjustments.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) 4. Derivative financial instrumentsMany of the Company’s subsidiaries purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies. Thissubjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reduces this riskby utilizing natural hedging (i.e., offsetting receivables and payables in the same foreign currency) as well as by creatingoffsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts typicallywith maturities of less than 60 days (“economic hedges”). The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks tothe extent they are not hedged. The Company adjusts any economic hedges to fair value through the consolidated statements ofoperations primarily within “other (expense) income, net.” Therefore, the changes in valuation of the underlying items beingeconomically hedged are classified in the same consolidated statements of operations line item as the changes in fair value of theforward foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are based upon Level 2criteria under the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy, are classified in the captions “other current assets” or “accrued expenses andother,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of July 1, 2017, and July 2, 2016. The Company’smaster netting and other similar arrangements with various financial institutions related to derivative financial instruments allowfor the right of offset. The Company’s policy is to present derivative financial instruments with the same counterparty as either anet asset or liability when the right of offset exists.The Company generally does not hedge its investments in its foreign operations. The Company does not enter intoderivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and monitors the financial stability and credit standing of itscounterparties.The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected fromcustomers can be different from the currency used to purchase from suppliers. The Company’s foreign operations transactions aredenominated primarily in the following currencies: U.S. Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan and TaiwanDollar. The Company also, to a lesser extent, has foreign operations transactions primarily in Canadian, other European and Asianforeign currencies.The fair values of derivative financial instruments in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are as follows: July 1, July 2, 2017 2016 (Thousands) Forward foreign currency exchange contracts not receiving hedge accounting treatmentrecorded in: Other current assets $7,297 $9,681 Accrued expenses 4,142 6,369 In addition to amounts included in the above table, there was $34.0 million of accrued expenses related to a derivativefinancial instrument used to economically hedge the fair value changes in marketable securities discussed further in Note 357 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC.

Years Ended July 1, 2017 July 2, 2016 June 27, 2015 (Thousands) Current: Federal $(45,351) $(16,934) $5,497 State and local 4,209 (33) (1,959) Foreign 106,441 92,033 60,082 Total current taxes 65,299 75,066 63,620 Deferred: Federal (30,025) 5,573 39,905 State and local (3,934) 1,351 6,774 Foreign 15,713 5,114 (24,163) Total deferred taxes (18,246) 12,038 22,516 Income tax expense $47,053 $87,104 $86,136 The tax provision is computed based upon income before income taxes from continuing operations fromboth U.S. and foreign operations. U.S. (loss) income before income taxes from continuing operations was $ (174.3) million, $(2.7) million and $85.8 million, in fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and foreign incomebefore income taxes from continuing operations was $484.7 million, $480.7 million and $485.7 million in fiscal2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.See further discussion related to income tax expense for discontinued operations in Note 3.Reconciliations of the federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rates are as follows: Years Ended July 1, 2017 July 2, 2016 June 27, 2015 U.S. federal statutory rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit (1.7) 0.3 0.8 Foreign tax rates, net of valuation allowances (23.5) (12.7) (11.1) Establishment/(release) of valuation allowance, net of U.S. taxexpense 1.3 (1.7) (9.0) Change in contingency reserves 3.6 (2.5) 0.9 Tax audit settlements 0.1 (0.7) (2.9) Other, net 0.4 0.5 1.4 Effective tax rate - continuing operations 15.2% 18.2% 15.1% Foreign tax rates represents the impact of the difference between foreign and U.S. federal statutory rates applied to foreignincome or loss and also includes the impact of valuation allowances established against the Company’s otherwise realizableforeign deferred tax assets, which are primarily net operating loss carry-forwards.64 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Avnet’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes from continuing operations was 15.2% in fiscal 2017 as comparedwith an effective tax rate of 18.2% in fiscal 2016. Included in the fiscal 2017 effective tax rate is a net tax benefit of $73 millionrelated to the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions. The fiscal 2017 effective tax rate is lower than the fiscal 2016 effective taxrate due to the aforementioned favorable mix of income, partially offset by tax expense from the establishment of valuationallowances and reserves in fiscal 2017 as compared with the tax benefit from the valuation allowances released in fiscal 2016.The Company applies the guidance in ASC 740 Income Taxes , which requires management to use its judgment to theappropriate weighting of all available evidence when assessing the need for the establishment or the release of valuationallowances. As part of this analysis, the Company examines all available evidence on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis andweighs the positive and negative evidence when determining the need for full or partial valuation allowances. The evidenceconsidered for each jurisdiction includes, among other items: (i) the historic levels and types of income or losses over a range oftime periods, which may extend beyond the most recent three fiscal years depending upon the historical volatility of income in anindividual jurisdiction; (ii) expectations and risk associated with underlying estimates of future taxable income, includingconsidering the historical trend of down-cycles in the Company’s served industries; (iii) jurisdictional specific limitations on theutilization of deferred tax assets including when such assets expire; and (iv) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.As of the end of fiscal 2015, the Company released the remaining valuation allowance against significant net deferred taxassets related to a legal entity in EMEA. Due to the profitability for this entity and the projections for the future, managementconcluded a full release of the valuation allowance was appropriate in fiscal 2015.No provision for U.S. income taxes has been made for approximately $3.33 billion of cumulative unremitted earnings offoreign subsidiaries at July 1, 2017, because those earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. Ahypothetical calculation of the deferred tax liability, assuming those earnings were remitted, is not practicable. Foreign cashbalances are generally used for ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs and to support acquisitions, and arepermanently reinvested outside the United States. If these funds were needed for general corporate use in the United States, theCompany may incur significant income taxes.The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities, included in “other assets” and “other liabilities” on theconsolidated balance sheets, are as follows: July 1, July 2, 2017 2016 (Thousands) Deferred tax assets: Federal, state and foreign net operating loss carry-forwards $269,576 $94,892 Inventories valuation 30,330 20,635 Receivables valuation 9,209 9,188 Various accrued liabilities and other 46,922 35,929 356,037 160,644 Less — valuation allowances (241,687) (63,694) 114,350 96,950 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment (152,101) (99,154) Net deferred tax liabilities $(37,751) $(2,204) 65 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) In addition to net deferred tax liabilities, the Company also has $90.4 million and $98.2 million of income tax relateddeferred charges included as a component of “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets as of July 1, 2017, and July 2, 2016,respectively that are the result of a fiscal 2016 business restructuring in EMEA. The change in valuation allowances in fiscal 2017 from fiscal 2016 was primarily due to a net increase of $173.5 million asa result of the acquisition of PF and other tax attributes recorded for which the Company does not expect to realize a benefit.As of July 1, 2017, the Company had foreign net operating and capital loss carry-forwards of approximately $1.07 billion,of which $17.3 million will expire during fiscal 2018 and 2019, substantially all of which have full valuation allowances, $61.2million have expiration dates ranging from fiscal 2020 to 2037, and the remaining $986.3 million have no expiration date. Thecarrying value of the Company’s foreign net operating and capital loss carry-forwards is dependent upon the Company’s ability togenerate sufficient future taxable income in certain foreign tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company considers historic levelsand types of income or losses, expectations and risk associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent andfeasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for valuation allowances.Estimated liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are included in “accrued expenses and other” and “other liabilities” onthe consolidated balance sheets. These contingent liabilities relate to various tax matters that result from uncertainties in theapplication of complex income tax regulations in the numerous jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The change in suchliabilities during fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the acquisition of PF and recognition of newly identified unrecognized taxbenefits as presented in the following table. As of July 1, 2017, unrecognized tax benefits were $106.8 million. The estimatedliability for unrecognized tax benefits included accrued interest expense and penalties of $15.3 million and $13.9 million, net ofapplicable state tax benefits, as of the end of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively.Reconciliations of the beginning and ending liability balances for unrecognized tax benefits are as follows: July 1, 2017 July 2, 2016 (Thousands) Balance at beginning of year $58,830 $60,433 Additions for tax positions taken in prior periods, including interest 10,476 3,496 Reductions for tax positions taken in prior periods, including interest (5,656) (6,349) Additions for tax positions taken in current period 13,659 7,577 Reductions related to settlements with taxing authorities (203) (725) Reductions related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations (5,790) (13,188) Adjustments related to foreign currency translation 2,772 (212) Activity of discontinued operations 10,864 7,798 Additions from acquisitions 21,834 — Balance at end of year $106,786 $58,830 The evaluation of income tax positions requires management to estimate the ability of the Company to sustain its positionand estimate the final benefit to the Company. To the extent that these estimates do not reflect the actual outcome there could bean impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the position is settled, the applicable statutes oflimitations expire or new information becomes available as the impact of these events are recognized in the period in which theyoccur. It is difficult to estimate the period in which the amount of a tax position will change as settlement may includeadministrative and legal proceedings whose timing the Company cannot control.66 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The effects of settling tax positions with tax authorities and statute expirations may significantly impact the estimate forunrecognized tax benefits. Within the next twelve months, the Company estimates that approximately $23.5 million of theseliabilities for unrecognized tax benefits will be settled by the expiration of the statutes of limitations or through agreement withthe tax authorities for tax positions related to valuation matters and positions related to acquired entities. The expected cashpayment related to the settlement of these contingencies is approximately $8.4 million .The Company conducts business globally and consequently files income tax returns in numerous jurisdictions includingthose listed in the following table. It is also routinely subject to audit in these and other countries. The Company is no longersubject to audit in its major jurisdictions for periods prior to fiscal 2008. The years remaining subject to audit, by majorjurisdiction, are as follows: Jurisdiction Fiscal Year United States (Federal and state) 2013 - 2017 Taiwan 2012 - 2017 Hong Kong 2011 - 2017 Germany 2010 - 2017 Singapore 2008 - 2017 Belgium 2014 - 2017 United Kingdom 2009 - 2017 In connection with the sale of the TS Business during fiscal 2017, several legal entities were sold to the Buyer and post-closing tax obligations are the responsibility of the Buyer. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the Company still maintainsresponsibility for certain pre-closing taxes including any amounts that arise from audits or other judgments received from taxauthorities. The Company believes that its current estimates related to tax reserves and unrecognized tax benefits related to the TSBusiness are reasonable, but future changes in facts and circumstances could results in significant changes in estimates thatimpact tax expense from discontinued operations in the period of change. 11. Pension and retirement plansPension PlanThe Company’s noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covers substantially all U.S. employeesexcluding U.S. employees of the acquired PF business. The Plan meets the definition of a defined benefit plan and as a result, theCompany must apply ASC 715 pension accounting to the Plan. The Plan itself, however, is a cash balance plan that is similar innature to a defined contribution plan in that a participant’s benefit is defined in terms of a stated account balance. A cash balanceplan provides the Company with the benefit of applying any earnings on the Plan’s investments beyond the fixed return providedto participants, toward the Company’s future cash funding obligations. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan followingthe first year of service during which they worked at least 1,000 hours.The Plan provides defined benefits pursuant to a cash balance feature whereby a participant accumulates a benefit basedupon a percentage of current salary, which varies with age, and interest credits. The Company uses its fiscal year end as themeasurement date for determining pension expense and benefit obligations for each fiscal year.The Company also acquired a closed noncontributory defined benefit pension plan in the U.S. in connection with the PFacquisition (the “PF Plan”). The disclosures below include the Plan and the PF Plan from the date of acquisition (collectively, the“Plans”), but do not include the pension plans of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and other defined benefit plans, which are notconsidered material.67 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The following table outlines changes in benefit obligations, plan assets and the funded status of the Plans as of the end offiscal 2017 and 2016: July 1, July 2, 2017 2016 (Thousands) Changes in benefit obligations: Benefit obligations at beginning of year $588,511 $513,406 Acquired benefit obligations 165,046 — Service cost 29,623 39,740 Interest cost 19,323 21,310 Actuarial loss 15,686 41,799 Benefits paid (46,121) (27,744) Benefit obligations at end of year $772,068 $588,511 Changes in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $516,089 $484,408 Acquired plan assets 144,238 — Actual return on plan assets 51,409 19,425 Benefits paid (46,121) (27,744) Contributions 33,750 40,000 Fair value of plan assets at end of year $699,365 $516,089 Funded status of the plan recognized as a non-current liability $(72,703) $(72,422) Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income: Unrecognized net actuarial losses $234,863 $235,747 Unamortized prior service credits (691) (2,903) $234,172 $232,844 Other changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive income: Net actuarial gain $9,744 $62,659 Amortization of net actuarial losses (14,440) (12,731) Amortization of prior service credits 1,573 1,573 Curtailment recognition of prior service credit 614 — $(2,509) $51,501 Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at July 1, 2017, is a before tax expense of $234.9 million of netactuarial losses that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost, of which $15.0 million is expected to berecognized as a component of net periodic pension cost during fiscal 2018. Also included is a before tax net benefit of $0.7million of prior service credits that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension costs, of which $1.6 million is expectedto be recognized as a component of net periodic pension costs during fiscal 2018. In connection with the sale of the TS Business,a significant number of former employees became terminated vested employees under the Plan. If the aggregate amount of formeremployee withdrawals from their Plan balances reach a certain threshold during a fiscal year, then a settlement charge would berequired under ASC 715 pension accounting in the period that such aggregate withdrawals exceed the threshold. 68 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Assumptions used to calculate actuarial present values of benefit obligations are as follows: 2017 2016 Discount rate 3.8% 3.4% The discount rate selected by the Company for the Plan reflects the current rate at which the underlying liability could besettled at the measurement date as of July 1, 2017. The estimated discount rate in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 was based on thespot yield curve approach, which applies the individual spot rates from a highly rated bond yield curve to each future year’sestimated cash flows.Assumptions used to determine net benefit costs are as follows: 2017 2016 Discount rate 3.3%4.3%Expected return on plan assets 8.0%8.3%Components of net periodic pension cost from continuing and discontinued operations during the last three fiscal years areas follows: Years Ended July 1, July 2, June 27, 2017 2016 2015 (Thousands)Service cost $29,623 $39,740 $39,492Interest cost 19,323 21,310 17,797Expected return on plan assets (49,279) (40,285) (36,221)Amortization of prior service credits (1,573) (1,573) (1,573)Recognized net actuarial loss 14,440 12,731 13,007Curtailment recognition of prior service credit (614) — —Net periodic pension cost $11,920 $31,923 $32,502The Company made $33.8 million and $40.0 million of contributions in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, respectively andexpects to make approximately $16.0 million of contributions in fiscal 2018.Benefit payments are expected to be paid to Plan participants as follows for the next five fiscal years and the aggregate forthe five years thereafter (in thousands): 2018$59,643 2019 63,666 2020 39,692 2021 41,288 2022 45,886 2023 through 2027 262,946 69 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The Plan’s assets are held in trust and were allocated as follows as of the measurement date at the end of fiscal 2017 and2016: 2017 2016 Equity securities 50% 60% Fixed income debt securities 50% 40% Cash and cash equivalents —% —% The general investment objectives of the Plan are to maximize returns through a diversified investment portfolio in order toearn annualized returns that meet the long-term cost of funding the Plans pension obligations while maintaining reasonable andprudent levels of risk. The target rate of return on the Plans assets is currently 8.0%, which represents the average rate of earningsexpected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligation based upon thetargeted investment allocations. This assumption has been determined by combining expectations regarding future rates of returnfor the investment portfolio along with the historical and expected distribution of investments by asset class and the historicalrates of return for each of those asset classes. The mix of equity securities is typically diversified to obtain a blend of domesticand international investments covering multiple industries. The Plan’s assets do not include any material investments in Avnetcommon stock. The Plans investments in debt securities are also diversified across both public and private fixed income securitieswith varying maturities. As of July 1, 2017, the Company’s target allocation for the Plans investment portfolio is for equitysecurities, both domestic and international, to represent approximately 60% of the portfolio. The majority of the remainingportfolio of investments is to be invested in fixed income debt securities with various maturities.The following table sets forth the fair value of the Plans investments as of July 1, 2017 : Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $1,481 $ — $ — $1,481 Equities: U.S. common stocks — 221,003 — 221,003 International common stocks — 117,392 — 117,392 Fixed Income: U.S. government agencies — 105,227 — 105,227 International government agencies — 14,366 — 14,366 U.S. and international corporate bonds — 214,024 — 214,024 Other — 25,872 — 25,872 Total $1,481 $697,884 $ — $699,365 70 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC.

Each of these investments maybe redeemed daily without notice and there were no material unfunded commitments as of July 1, 2017 .The fixed income investments provide a steady return with medium volatility and assist with capital preservation andincome generation. The equity investments have higher expected volatility and return than the fixed income investments. 12. Operating leasesThe Company leases many of its operating facilities and is also committed under lease agreements for transportation andoperating equipment. Rent expense charged to operating expenses during the last three fiscal years is as follows: Years Ended July 1, July 2, June 27, 2017 2016 2015 (Thousands) Rent expense under operating leases $71,814 $66,702 $72,713 The aggregate future minimum operating lease commitments, principally for office and warehouse space, in fiscal 2018through 2022 and thereafter, are as follows (in thousands): 2018 $66,513 2019 52,434 2020 40,956 2021 31,487 2022 26,821 Thereafter 68,735 Total $286,946 71 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) 13. Stock-based compensationThe Company measures all stock-based payments at fair value and recognizes related expense within operating expenses inthe consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). During fiscal 2017,2016, and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $53.9 million, $56.9 million, and $62.0 million,respectively, for all forms of stock-based compensation awards. Included in the fiscal 2017 expense was $6.2 million of stock-based compensation related to discontinued operations and the divestiture of the TS discussed further in Note 3.Stock planAt July 1, 2017, the Company had 10.6 million shares of common stock reserved for stock-based payments, whichconsisted of 2.7 million shares for unvested or unexercised stock options, 6.2 million shares available for stock-based awardsunder plans approved by shareholders, 1.5 million shares for restricted stock units and performance share units granted but not yetvested, and 0.2 million shares available for future purchases under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan.Stock optionsService based stock option grants have a contractual life of ten years, vest in 25% increments on each anniversary of thegrant date, commencing with the first anniversary, and require an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value of commonstock at the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense associated with all stock options during fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015was $5.8 million, $4.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively.The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model based on the assumptionsin the following table. The assumption for the expected term is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employeeexercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates as of the date of grant with maturity datesapproximately equal to the expected term at the grant date. The historical volatility of Avnet’s common stock is used as the basisfor the volatility assumption. The Company estimates dividend yield based upon expectations of future dividends compared to themarket value of the Company’s stock as of the grant date.

The total fair value of stock options vested, as of thevesting dates, during fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $3.3 million, $4.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively.Cash received from stock option exercises during fiscal 2017, 2016, and 2015 totaled $25.2 million, $0.8 million, and $2.6million, respectively. The impact of these cash receipts is included in “Other, net” within financing activities in the accompanyingconsolidated statements of cash flows.Restricted stock unitsDelivery of restricted stock units, and the associated compensation expense, is recognized over the vesting period and isgenerally subject to the employee’s continued service to the Company, except for employees who are retirement eligible underthe terms of the restricted stock units. As of July 1, 2017, 1.0 million shares previously awarded have not yet vested. Stock-basedcompensation expense associated with restricted stock units was $42.4 million, $43.9 million and $50.5 million for fiscal years2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.73 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The following is a summary of the changes in non-vested restricted stock units during fiscal 2017: Weighted Average Grant-Date Shares Fair Value Non-vested restricted stock units at July 2, 2016 1,720,219 $39.12 Granted 1,082,795 40.70 Vested (1,408,706) 38.77 Forfeited (378,280) $40.09 Non-vested restricted stock units at July 1, 2017 1,016,028 $40.93 As of July 1, 2017, there was $19.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restrictedstock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The total fair value of restrictedstock units vested during fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $54.6 million, $42.5 million and $36.2 million, respectively.Performance share unitsCertain eligible employees, including Avnet’s executive officers, may receive a portion of their long-term stock-basedcompensation through the performance share program, which allows for the vesting of shares based upon achievement of certainmarket and performance-based criteria (“Performance Share Program”). The Performance Share Program provides for the vestingto each grantee of a number of shares of Avnet’s common stock at the end of a three-year performance period based upon theCompany’s achievement of certain performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors foreach Performance Share Program three-year performance period. The performance goals consist of a combination of measuresincluding economic profit, return on capital employed and total shareholder return.During each of fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 0.2 million performance share units. The actual amount ofperformance share units vested at the end of each three-year period is measured based upon the actual level of achievement of thedefined performance goals and can range from 0% to 200% of the award grant. During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Companyrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the Performance Share Program of $4.6 million, $7.6 million and$6.8 million, respectively. 74 Table of ContentsAVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) 14. Commitments and contingenciesFrom time to time, the Company may become a party to, or be otherwise involved in various lawsuits, claims,investigations and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While litigation is subject toinherent uncertainties, management does not anticipate that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on theCompany’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.The Company is also currently subject to various pending and potential legal matters and investigations relating tocompliance with governmental laws and regulations, including import/export and environmental matters. For certain of thesematters it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potentialexposure or the range of possible loss for such matters due primarily to being in the early stages of the related proceedings andinvestigations.
