"Continuing our positive first half momentum, I am pleased to report that Tech Data delivered another solid quarter in Q3 of fiscal 2016, said Robert M. Dutkowsky, chief executive officer. "On a constant currency basis, we posted good top line growth, improved non-GAAP operating income by nearly twice the rate of sales growth, and grew non-GAAP earnings per share by 19 percent to a record Q3 level. Additionally, for the first nine months of the fiscal year, we grew non-GAAP earnings per share by 31 percent on a constant currency basis, generated $221 million of cash from operations, and completed $147 million of share repurchases. Tech Data's performance through the first nine months of the fiscal year is a testament to our company's strengths, namely, our diversified customer and product portfolios, strong vendor relationships, state-of-the-art global IT platform, and our teams' ability to effectively respond to the demands of the ever-changing IT market. Collectively, these strengths enable Tech Data to create value for our customers, vendor partners and shareholders."

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter ending January 31, 2016, the Company anticipates net sales to be in the range of $7.05 billion to $7.25 billion. This assumes year-over-year constant currency sales growth of mid-single digits in both regions. This outlook excludes approximately $78 million of sales from the previous year's fourth quarter, due to the Company's exit from Chile, Peru and Uruguay. The Company also expects the gross margin percentage to be in line with recent levels, a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 25 to 27 percent and the average U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate to be $1.07 to €1.00.
