Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 22, 2016, Tech Data Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, announcing its financial results for the three months ended October 31, 2016.  The information in this Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The disclosures of financial results for the three months ended October 31, 2016, contained herein are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and are accompanied by disclosures and financial measures that are not prepared in conformity with GAAP.  These non-GAAP disclosures include certain adjustments as noted below and the related tax effect not reflected in the GAAP presentations.

In addition to GAAP results, Company management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it provides investors with a more complete understanding of our operational results and a meaningful comparison of our performance between periods. The non-GAAP results should only be used in conjunction with results reported in accordance with GAAP and are not intended to be a substitute for results reported in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures presented in the press release, supplemental slide presentation and similar documents issued by the Company include but are not limited to net sales, income or expense items as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as “constant currency”) and the impact of the exit of certain country operations, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and Return on Invested Capital. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by comparable companies.  Management may also use these non-GAAP financial measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. The press release and supplemental slide presentation provide a detailed reconciliation between results reported in accordance with GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.
