Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
CDW Corporation (the “Company”) is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) to provide investors supplemental information related to its realignment in segment reporting in fiscal year 2026. Certain unaudited historical financial information has been recast to align with the Company’s new reportable segment structure. This supplemental financial information only affects the manner in which certain financial information for the Company’s reportable segments was previously disclosed and is being provided to aid in comparability. It has no impact on – and in no way amends or restates – previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company realigned its customer‑facing sales organization to better meet the evolving needs of its customers and end markets. As a result of this realignment, the Company now has the following three reportable segments: Commercial, Government, and Education.
•The Commercial segment primarily serves corporate, financial services, and healthcare customers in the United States, each of which represents a unique customer channel. Customers previously included in the Small business segment are included across the customer channels within the Commercial segment.
•The Government segment primarily serves federal, state, and local agencies in the United States, along with certain private sector business customers that primarily support or interact with government agencies.
•The Education segment primarily serves primary, secondary, and higher education institutions in the United States.
•CDW UK and CDW Canada will remain unchanged in this new reporting structure, in an all other category (“Other”).
The Company also updated its methodology for allocating headquarters function costs to align with how those costs are managed and reviewed, distinguishing between costs that directly support the operating segments and costs that are enterprise‑wide in nature. The updated methodology was applied to historical periods presented, resulting in an adjusted amount of operating expense retained by Headquarters.
This information is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
