"Our fourth quarter capped a successful fiscal year for Tech Data – a year in which we achieved profitable revenue growth and improved non-GAAP earnings, while making considerable progress on a number of operational fronts," said Robert M. Dutkowsky, chief executive officer. "Our focus on the market and operations produced good leverage, delivering double-digit growth in annual non-GAAP operating income, net income and earnings per share on low-single-digit net sales growth. For the fiscal year, we also earned a return on invested capital of 11 percent – more than 200 basis points above our weighted average cost of capital. In addition, we recently completed the $100 million share repurchase authorization announced in December, bringing our cumulative repurchases to $1.2 billion since fiscal year 2006, or nearly 44% of total shares issued. I am proud of our team's achievements in fiscal year 2015, but we have now turned our attention to the many opportunities that lie ahead."
Material Weakness Remediation
As described in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2014, the Company implemented various remedial actions to address previously identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Management has determined that the remediation actions were effectively designed and demonstrated effective operation for a sufficient period of time to enable the Company to conclude that the previously identified material weaknesses have been remediated as of January 31, 2015.
Business Outlook
For the first quarter ending April 30, 2015, the Company expects low-single-digit year-over-year sales declines in both regions in local currency. This outlook takes into account the loss of approximately $75 million of net sales due to the Company's exit from Chile, Peru and Uruguay.The Company also expects a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 33 to 35 percent, and the average U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate to be $1.05 to €1.00.
