Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ingram Micro Holding Corp (INGM) reaffirmed its third-quarter fiscal 2026 guidance and introduced a multi-year financial framework at its 2026 Capital Markets Day. Management stated they expect Q3 2026 results to land at the high end of the guidance range previously discussed on the second-quarter earnings call.

For fiscal years 2026–2029, the company is targeting net sales CAGR of ~4–6%, gross profit CAGR of ~5–7%, and annual operating expenses of ~4.4–4.8% of net sales. The framework also calls for non-GAAP net income CAGR of ~11–13%, adjusted free cash flow to adjusted EBITDA of ~30% or more annually, and average adjusted ROIC of ~16–17%. Leadership highlighted an intelligence-led transformation built around its Xvantage™ digital platform as a key driver of these objectives.

Positive

  • Q3 FY 2026 guidance reaffirmed at the high end of the prior range, indicating management currently expects stronger performance within its previously communicated outlook.
  • Introduced a long-term framework targeting non-GAAP net income CAGR of ~11–13%, more than twice targeted net sales growth at the midpoint, emphasizing planned margin and earnings leverage.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The September 15 framework is forward-looking, non-GAAP, and not guidance for any specific fiscal year.

This Form 8-K reports the September 15 Capital Markets Day and furnishes its release as information rather than filing it for Section 18 liability or incorporation by reference. The immediate consequence is informational: the disclosed framework is not a new completed capital or ownership transaction.

The release sets fiscal 2026–2029 targets, but expressly says the framework is not guidance for any particular fiscal year. Its metrics use company-defined non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted ROIC; no forward-looking GAAP reconciliation is provided because the required items cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort.

Additional modeling considerations are to be provided in the Capital Markets Day presentation, with the presentation and event replay expected on the company’s investor-relations website after the event. Those materials are the specified path for more detail on how the framework is constructed.

non-GAAP net income financial
"This release refers to non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income"
Non-GAAP net income is a company's profit figure that excludes certain costs or income that are included in standard accounting methods. Companies often use it to show what their earnings might look like without one-time expenses or other unusual items, helping investors see the company's core performance more clearly.
adjusted EBITDA financial
"This release refers to non-GAAP financial measures, including ... adjusted EBITDA"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
adjusted free cash flow financial
"This release refers to non-GAAP financial measures, including ... adjusted free cash flow"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.
adjusted ROIC financial
"Adjusted ROIC (four-year average) | | ~16% to 17%"
Adjusted ROIC measures how effectively a company turns the money it has invested in its business into profit, but after removing one-time items and accounting tweaks so the result shows the recurring operating performance. Think of it like checking a car’s fuel efficiency after unloading temporary extra weight: it gives investors a clearer view of the business’s true efficiency and helps compare companies or track whether management is improving returns on the capital used to run and grow the business.
Capital Markets Day financial
"will host its inaugural 2026 Capital Markets Day today"
A capital markets day is a scheduled event where a company presents its long-term strategy, financial plans and performance targets directly to investors, analysts and lenders. Think of it as a roadmap meeting where management shows how they plan to grow and use money; investors watch closely because the details can change expectations about future profits, risk and the stock’s value.
B2B intelligent operating system technical
"create the industry’s B2B intelligent operating system at scale"
Net sales CAGR target ~4–6%
Gross profit CAGR target ~5–7%
Non-GAAP net income CAGR target ~11–13%
Adjusted ROIC (four-year average) ~16–17%

“For decades, our scale, reach, and relationships have made Ingram Micro a trusted partner across the global technology ecosystem. Today, we are entering a new chapter as we build on those strengths to create the industry’s B2B intelligent operating system at scale. We are uniquely positioned to help connect demand and supply in smarter ways so customers and vendor partners can operate more efficiently and unlock new opportunities for growth,” said Paul Bay, Ingram Micro’s Chief Executive Officer. “The combination of our scale, trusted relationships, and intelligence-driven innovation positions us to create more value for our customers.”

“The next era of value creation will be defined by intelligence,” said Sanjib Sahoo, Ingram Micro’s President, Global Platform Group. “With Xvantage, we are bringing together decades of data, workflows, and interactions into an intelligence advantage. Our platform can predict, recommend, automate, and increasingly take action. What differentiates Ingram Micro is not AI alone, but the combination of proprietary intelligence, the breadth of our relationships in the IT market and our global scale. Every interaction strengthens the platform, helping our customers and vendor partners achieve better outcomes while solidifying our competitive edge.”


“In the short term, for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 we expect to achieve results at the high end of the range of the guidance we provided on our second quarter earnings call in late July. And our full year 2026 guidance reflects continued momentum for a strong second half overall. Our long-term financial framework is built on clear objectives of growing gross profit faster than net sales, driving further operating expense efficiency and leverage, and converting that operating leverage into non-GAAP net income growth that, at the midpoint of our framework, is more than twice the rate of net sales growth,” said Mike Zilis, Ingram Micro’s Chief Financial Officer.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this release refers to non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC). Management believes these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the company’s operating performance, cash generation and capital efficiency, and are used internally to evaluate the business and establish operational goals. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.


We define non-GAAP net income as net income adjusted to give effect to (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (iii) net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses including net gains and losses on derivative instruments not receiving hedge accounting treatment, (iv) costs of integration, transition, and operational improvement initiatives, which includes development and implementation activities associated with the Company’s digital experience platform XvantageTM and a broader transformation program focused on optimizing and modernizing the Company’s operating systems, as well as consulting, retention and transition costs associated with our organizational effectiveness programs charged to selling, general and administrative expenses, (v) cash-based compensation expense associated with our cash-based long-term incentive program for certain employees in lieu of equity-based compensation prior to our IPO, (vi) stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units issued in connection with our IPO, (vii) certain other items as defined in our credit agreements, (viii) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii), and (ix) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on large non-recurring or discrete items. This metric differs from adjusted net income, which is a component of adjusted ROIC as described below.

We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (calculated as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses) adjusted to give effect to (i) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (ii) net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses including net gains and losses on derivative instruments not receiving hedge accounting treatment, (iii) costs of integration, transition, and operational improvement initiatives, which includes development and implementation activities associated with the Company’s digital experience platform XvantageTM and a broader transformation program focused on optimizing and modernizing the Company’s operating systems, as well as consulting, retention and transition costs associated with our organizational effectiveness programs charged to selling, general and administrative expenses, (iv) cash-based compensation expense associated with our cash -based long-term incentive program for certain employees in lieu of equity-based compensation prior to our initial public offering in October 2024 (the “IPO”), (v) stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units issued in connection with our IPO, and (vi) certain other items as defined in our credit agreements.


We define adjusted free cash flow as net income adjusted to give effect to (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) other non-cash items and changes to non-working capital assets/liabilities, (iii) changes in working capital, (iv) proceeds from the deferred purchase price of factored receivables, and (v) capital expenditures.

Adjusted ROIC is defined as adjusted net income divided by the invested capital for the period. Adjusted net income for a particular period is defined as net income plus (i) other income/expense, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (iv) integration and transition costs, plus (v) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), plus (vi) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on large non-recurring or discrete items.

The company has not provided a reconciliation of its forward-looking long-term non-GAAP financial framework to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because certain items required for such reconciliations cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort, and their variability could have a significant impact on future GAAP results.

Forward-Looking Statement

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may also be identified by their use of terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates,” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans, projections or intentions, but such words are not exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements in this release. Statements in this release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the company’s strategy, transformation, outlook, guidance, trends, plans, assumptions, expectations, commitments, intentions, market opportunities, the Xvantage platform, and the company’s long-term financial framework and objectives (including net sales, gross profit, operating expenses, non-GAAP net income, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted ROIC and capital allocation). These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, including economic and geopolitical conditions, IT spending, competition, supplier and customer concentration, execution of the company’s strategy and platform initiatives, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and other risks described in the company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company’s long-term financial framework does not constitute guidance for any particular period and should not be interpreted as a projection of results for any specific fiscal year. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement except as required by law.
