VERNON HILLS, Ill., May 6, 2026 - CDW Corporation (Nasdaq: CDW) announced today first quarter 2026 results. CDW also announced the approval by its Board of Directors of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.630 per common share to be paid on June 10, 2026 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2026.

"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."

First Quarter of 2026 Highlights:

Net sales in the first quarter of 2026 were $5,680 million, compared to $5,199 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 9.2 percent. There were 63 selling days for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Net sales on a constant currency basis increased 8.4 percent in the first quarter of 2026. The increase in Net sales was primarily due to increased customer demand for data storage and servers, netcomm products, software, and notebooks/mobile devices. While economic and geopolitical uncertainty persists, all segments continued to experience improved customer spending during the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter Net sales performance included:

•Commercial segment Net sales of $3,569 million, 9.6 percent higher than 2025. Commercial results were primarily driven by an increase in Net sales to Financial Services, Corporate and Healthcare customers of 28.2 percent, 8.4 percent, and 4.9 percent, respectively.

•Government segment Net sales of $633 million, 4.6 percent higher than 2025.

•Education segment Net sales of $675 million, 2.5 percent higher than 2025.

•Net sales for CDW's UK and Canadian operations, combined as "Other" for financial reporting purposes, were $803 million, 17.9 percent higher than 2025.

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2026 was $1,190 million, compared to $1,122 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 6.0 percent. Gross profit margin was 21.0 percent in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 21.6 percent in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in Gross profit margin was primarily driven by a lower contribution of netted down revenue.

Selling and administrative expenses were $814 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $761 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 7.0 percent, primarily due to higher compensation expense, including performance-based incentives, coworker-related costs, and investments to support our AI initiatives.

Operating income was $376 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $361 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 4.0 percent. Non-GAAP operating income was $452 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $444 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 1.8 percent. Operating income margin and Non-GAAP operating income margin were 6.6 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 7.0 percent and 8.5 percent in the first quarter of 2025.

Interest expense, net includes interest expense and interest income. Interest expense, net was $55 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $57 million for the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 3.2 percent. The decrease was primarily due to decreased interest expense on lower debt levels and a lower variable interest rate on the senior unsecured term loan, partially offset by lower interest income earned on cash balances.

Income tax expense was $84 million for the first quarter of 2026 and was $79 million for the first quarter of 2025. The effective income tax rate, expressed by calculating the income tax expense as a percentage of Income before income taxes, was 26.2% for the first quarter of 2026 and 26.0% for the first quarter of 2025. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was relatively consistent with the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net income was $235 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $225 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 4.7 percent. Non-GAAP net income was $295 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $287 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 3.1 percent.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 129 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 133 million for the first quarter of 2025. Net income per diluted share for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.82, compared to $1.69 for 2025, representing an increase of 7.9 percent. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the first quarter of 2026 was $2.28, compared to $2.15 for 2025, representing an increase of 6.3 percent.

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.

•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.

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.

CDW Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.630 Per Share

Reinforces Ongoing Commitment to Delivering Value to Stockholders

VERNON HILLS, Ill., May 6, 2026 -- CDW Corporation (Nasdaq: CDW) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.630 per common share to be paid on June 10, 2026 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2026.

"Dividends represent an important component of our capital allocation priorities, along with share repurchases, strategic M&A, and managing our capital structure." said Albert J. Miralles, chief financial officer, CDW. "Since our IPO in June 2013, our dividend has increased nearly fifteen-fold, with twelve consecutive years of increases, and we have returned approximately $8.4 billion to stockholders through share repurchases and dividends. Our capital allocation strategy has enabled us to deliver value to our stockholders, just as we have delivered value to our customers and partners for over 40 years."

Future dividends and share repurchase authorizations will be at the discretion of and subject to approval by CDW's Board of Directors. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, business prospects, capital requirements, contractual restrictions (including in current or future agreements governing our indebtedness), restrictions imposed by applicable law, tax considerations, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Share repurchases under the program will be made from time to time in private transactions, open market purchases, or other transactions as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing and amounts of any purchases will be based on market conditions and other factors including but not limited to price, regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum dollar amount or number of shares and the program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has approximately $484 million remaining under the program.
