"CDW delivered a strong first quarter, reflecting outcome-driven execution in a complex and fast-moving environment," said Christine A. Leahy, chair and chief executive officer, CDW. "As customers move from AI exploration into real, production environments, they are increasingly relying on partners with the integration, governance, and lifecycle expertise to execute at scale. Our diversified end-markets, services-led, full-stack capabilities, and continued progress on our AI-forward strategy position us to capture demand and deliver value as the year unfolds."
"Strong demand for infrastructure hardware, combined with disciplined execution, drove solid net sales growth and resilient profitability in the first quarter," said Albert J. Miralles, chief financial officer, CDW. "We continue to prioritize disciplined working capital management while supporting our customers in a dynamic environment, enabling strong cash flow and capital flexibility."
"In an environment defined by complexity and rapid technology change, CDW's role as a trusted advisor has never been more relevant," Leahy concluded. "Our ability to operate across the full technology stack and lifecycle enables us to help customers convert complexity into measurable outcomes. With this foundation, we remain confident in our ability to exceed US IT addressable market growth by 200 to 300 basis points on a constant currency basis."

This release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to analyses and other information, which are based on forecasts of future results or events and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements also relate to our future prospects, growth, developments, and business strategies. We claim the protection of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements in this release.
These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "goal," "intend," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "target" and similar terms and phrases or future or conditional verbs such as "could," "may," "should," "will," and "would." However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and other expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve those plans, intentions, or expectations. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those that we expected.
Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Trends and Key Factors Affecting our Financial Performance" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and from time to time in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and public communications.
These factors include, among others:
- relationships with our vendor partners and wholesale distributors and the terms of their agreements;
- the ability of vendor partners, wholesale distributors, and third-party providers to fulfill their responsibilities and commitments and our reliance on certain key vendor partners and wholesale distributors;
- our dependence on the continued innovations in technology by our vendor partners;
- the use or capabilities of artificial intelligence and the challenges related to its adoption;
- substantial competition that could reduce our market share;
- the continuing development, maintenance, and operation of our information technology (“IT”) systems;
- potential breaches of data security and failure to protect our IT systems from cybersecurity threats;
- potential failures to provide high-quality services to our customers;
- potential losses of any key personnel, significant increases in labor costs, or ineffective workforce management;
- potential service failures or disruptions related to outsourcing arrangements with certain business processes;
- potential adverse occurrences at one of our primary facilities or third-party data centers, including as a result of climate change;
- increases in the cost of commercial delivery services or disruptions of those services;
- exposure to accounts receivable and inventory risks;
- the costs and risks associated with, and the successful and timely execution and effects of, strategic investments or acquisitions or entry into joint ventures including our ability to align our investment efforts with our strategic goals;
- future operating results may fluctuate significantly due to rapid changes in the technology industry and broader market conditions;
- the costs and risks associated with, and the successful and timely execution and effects of, our existing and any future business opportunities, expansions, initiatives, strategies, investments, and plans;
- fluctuations in foreign currency and the impact to our operating results;
- global and regional economic and political conditions, including the impact of inflationary pressures and the level of interest rates;
- decreases, delays, or changes in spending on technology products and services, including impacts of adverse changes in government spending and funding policies, federal procurement policies, and US government shutdowns;
- potential disruptions in the supply of products from our suppliers, including capacity limitations and cost increases resulting from heightened demand related to artificial intelligence workloads;
- potential failures to comply with public sector contracts or applicable laws and regulations;
- current and future legal proceedings, investigations, and audits, including intellectual property infringement claims;
- potential failure to comply with complex and evolving laws and regulations applicable to our operations or to meet sometimes conflicting stakeholder expectations on environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility matters;
- our level of indebtedness and the obligations imposed by agreements and instruments relating to our indebtedness;
- fluctuations in the market price and trading volumes of our common stock and changes in, or the discontinuation of, our share repurchase program or dividend payments; and
- other risk factors or uncertainties identified from time to time in our filings with the SEC.
All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by those cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this release in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not reflect all of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ from our expectations. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date hereof or, with respect to any documents incorporated by reference, available at the time such document was prepared or filed with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance or financial condition that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by management may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
Our non-GAAP performance measures include Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, and Net sales on a constant currency basis, and our non-GAAP financial condition measures include Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow. These non-GAAP performance measures and non-GAAP financial condition measures are collectively referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures.” The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, and Net sales on a constant currency basis are Operating income, Operating income margin, Net income, Net income per diluted share, and Net sales, respectively. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow is Net cash provided by operating activities.
Non-GAAP operating income excludes, among other things, charges related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, equity-based compensation and the associated payroll taxes, acquisition and integration expenses, transformation initiatives, and workplace optimization. Non-GAAP operating income margin is defined as Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of Net sales. Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP net income per diluted share exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, equity-based compensation and the associated payroll taxes, acquisition and integration expenses, transformation initiatives, workplace optimization, and their associated income tax effects. Net sales on a constant currency basis is defined as Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation on Net sales. Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as Free cash flow adjusted to include certain cash flows from financing activities incurred in the normal course of operations or as capital expenditures.
We believe our non-GAAP financial measures provide analysts, investors, and management with useful information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business, as they remove the impact of items that management believes are not reflective of underlying operating performance. Management uses these measures to evaluate period-over-period performance as management believes they provide a more comparable measure of the underlying business. We also present non-GAAP financial condition measures as we believe they provide analysts, investors, and management with more information regarding our liquidity and capital resources. Certain non-GAAP financial measures are also used to determine certain components of performance-based compensation.
Our outlook includes non-GAAP financial measures because certain reconciling items are dependent on future events that either cannot be controlled, such as currency impacts or interest rates, or reliably predicted because they are not part of our underlying performance, such as refinancing activities or acquisition and integration expenses.
The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable most comparable GAAP financial measures.
