CDW Corporation (Nasdaq:CDW), a leading multi-brand provider of information technology solutions to business, government, education and healthcare customers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, today announced fourth quarter and year end 2023 results. CDW also announced the approval by its Board of Directors of a $750 million increase to its share repurchase authorization and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.62 per share, which is 5 percent higher than the prior year period, to be paid on March 12, 2024 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 26, 2024.
“Strong margins, both for the quarter and the year, highlight the power of our execution excellence and financial rigor when underpinned by the strategic investments we have made over the past five years,” said Christine A. Leahy, chair and chief executive officer, CDW. “In this period of ongoing economic uncertainty, customers are increasingly turning to CDW to address mission-critical needs across the full IT solutions stack and lifecycle, and our value proposition is stronger than ever.”
“Healthy operating results, our resilient business model, and our disciplined approach to capital allocation delivered growth in earnings per diluted share for the quarter and record cash flows from operations for the year,” said Albert J. Miralles, chief financial officer, CDW. “We continue to convert earnings to cash at a productive rate, ahead of our targets, and optimize our use of cash flow through dividends and share repurchases.”
“Looking ahead to 2024, we remain well-positioned to continue our track record of outpacing the US IT market growth by 200 to 300 basis points on a constant currency basis. To accomplish this, we will maintain our laser focus on meeting the needs of our more than 250,000 customers and remaining the partner of choice for more than 1,000 leading and emerging technology brands as the technology market continues to evolve,” concluded Leahy.
Fourth Quarter of 2023 Highlights:
Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $5,019 million, compared to $5,438 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 7.7 percent. There were 63 selling days for both the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Net sales on a constant currency basis decreased 8.1 percent. The decline in Net sales was driven by all operating segments. Continued economic uncertainty has led customers to focus their business priorities, resulting in a reduction or delays in their hardware spend. Fourth quarter Net sales performance included:
- Corporate segment Net sales of $2,286 million, 8.0 percent lower than 2022.
- Small Business segment Net sales of $370 million, 12.7 percent lower than 2022.
- Public segment Net sales of $1,776 million, 4.1 percent lower than 2022. Public results were driven by decreased Net sales to Education and Healthcare customers by 11.7 percent and 4.7 percent, respectively, while Government customers increased by 4.5 percent.
- Net sales for CDW’s UK and Canadian operations, combined as “Other” for financial reporting purposes, of $587 million, 13.6 percent lower than 2022.
Gross profit was $1,154 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $1,181 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 2.3 percent. Gross profit margin was 23.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023 versus 21.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in Gross profit margin was primarily driven by a more favorable contribution of netted down revenue, primarily software as a service.
Selling and administrative expenses were $719 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $735 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 2.1 percent. This decrease was primarily due to reduced discretionary expenses, partially offset by increased payroll expenses.
Operating income was $435 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $447 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 2.6 percent. Non-GAAP operating income was $519 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $523 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 0.8 percent. The Operating income margin and Non-GAAP operating income margin were 8.7 percent and 10.3 percent, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023 versus 8.2 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Interest expense, net includes interest expense and interest income. Interest expense, net was $53 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $59 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 10.3 percent. Interest expense, net decreased as a result of higher interest income earned on cash balances and lower debt levels, partially offset by higher variable interest rate on the senior unsecured term loan.
The effective tax rate was 22.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 24.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, which resulted in tax expense of $85 million and $94 million, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.
Net income was $296 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $287 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 3.1 percent. Non-GAAP net income was $349 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $343 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 1.7 percent.
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 136 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 137 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income per diluted share was $2.18 in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $2.09 in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 4.3 percent. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $2.57 in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $2.50 in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 2.8 percent.
Full Year 2023 Highlights:
Net sales in 2023 were $21,376 million, compared to $23,749 million in 2022, a decrease of 10.0 percent. There were 254 selling days for both the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Net sales on a constant currency basis decreased 9.9 percent. The decline in Net sales was driven by all operating segments. Continued economic uncertainty has led customers to focus their business priorities, resulting in a reduction or delays in their hardware spend. Full year Net sales performance included:
- Corporate segment Net sales of $8,961 million, 13.4 percent lower than 2022.
- Small Business segment Net sales of $1,556 million, 19.7 percent lower than 2022.
- Public segment Net sales of $8,306 million, 2.9 percent lower than 2022. Public results were driven by a decrease in Net sales to Education and Healthcare customers of 8.9 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, while Government customers increased 3.7 percent.
- Net sales for CDW’s UK and Canadian operations, combined as “Other” for financial reporting purposes, of $2,554 million, 12.2 percent lower than 2022.
Gross profit was $4,652 million in 2023, compared to $4,687 million for 2022, representing a decrease of 0.7 percent. Gross profit margin was 21.8 percent in 2023 versus 19.7 percent in 2022. The increase in Gross profit margin was primarily driven by a more favorable contribution of netted down revenue, primarily software as a service, and higher product margin due to lower mix in notebooks and increased margin rate across various categories.
Selling and administrative expenses were $2,972 million in 2023, compared to $2,951 million in 2022, representing an increase of 0.7 percent. This increase was primarily driven by costs related to the reduction of our workforce and real estate portfolio (collectively “workplace optimization”) and increased payroll expenses associated with higher year-over-year average coworker count, partially offset by reduced discretionary expenses.
Operating income was $1,681 million in 2023, compared to $1,735 million in 2022, representing a decrease of 3.1 percent. Non-GAAP operating income was $2,039 million in 2023, compared to $2,051 million for 2022, representing a decrease of 0.6 percent. The Operating income margin and Non-GAAP operating income margin were 7.9 percent and 9.5 percent, respectively, for 2023 versus 7.3 percent and 8.6 percent, respectively, for 2022.
Interest expense, net includes interest expense and interest income. Interest expense, net was $227 million in 2023, compared to $236 million in 2022, representing a decrease of 3.9 percent. Interest expense, net decreased as a result of lower debt levels and higher interest income earned on cash balances, partially offset by higher variable interest rate on the senior unsecured term loan.
The effective tax rate was 23.9 percent in 2023, compared to 25.1 percent in 2022, which resulted in tax expense of $346 million and $373 million, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.
Net income was $1,104 million in 2023, compared to $1,115 million in 2022, representing a decrease of 0.9 percent. Non-GAAP net income was $1,346 million in 2023, compared to $1,342 million in 2022, representing an increase of 0.4 percent.
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 136 million in 2023, compared to 137 million in 2022. Net income per diluted share was $8.10 in 2023, compared to $8.13 in 2022, representing a decrease of 0.4 percent. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $9.88 in 2023, compared to $9.79 in 2022, representing an increase of 0.9 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. We claim the protection of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements in this release.
These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “target” and similar terms and phrases or future or conditional verbs such as “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” and “would.” However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

These factors include, among others, inflationary pressures; level of interest rates; CDW’s relationships with vendor partners and terms of their agreements; continued innovations in technology by CDW’s vendor partners; the use or capabilities of artificial intelligence; substantial competition that could reduce CDW’s market share; the continuing development, maintenance and operation of CDW’s information technology systems; potential breaches of data security and failure to protect our information technology systems from cybersecurity threats; potential failures to provide high-quality services to CDW’s customers; potential losses of any key personnel, significant increases in labor costs or ineffective workforce management; potential adverse occurrences at one of CDW’s primary facilities or third-party data centers, including as a result of climate change; increases in the cost of commercial delivery services or disruptions of those services; CDW’s exposure to accounts receivable and inventory risks; future acquisitions or alliances; fluctuations in CDW’s operating results; fluctuations in foreign currency; global and regional economic and political conditions, including the impact of pandemics such as COVID-19 and armed conflicts; potential interruptions of the flow of products from suppliers; decreases in spending on technology products and services, including impacts of adverse change in government spending policies; potential failures to comply with Public segment contracts or applicable laws and regulations; current and future legal proceedings, investigations and audits, including intellectual property infringement claims; changes in laws, including regulations or interpretations thereof, or the potential failure to meet stakeholder expectations on environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility matters; CDW’s level of indebtedness; restrictions imposed by agreements relating to CDW’s indebtedness on its operations and liquidity; failure to maintain the ratings assigned to CDW’s debt securities by rating agencies; changes in, or the discontinuation of, CDW’s share repurchase program or dividend payments; and other risk factors or uncertainties identified from time to time in CDW’s 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.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not reflect all of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ from our expectations. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 excludes, among other things, charges related to acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, transformation initiatives, workplace optimization and the associated tax effects of each. Net sales on a constant currency basis is defined as Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation on Net sales compared to the prior period. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows 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.
Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Net sales on a constant currency basis, Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow are considered 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 US GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used by management may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
CDW believes 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 provide analysts, investors and management with useful information regarding the underlying operating performance of CDW’s business, as they remove the impact of items that management believes are not reflective of underlying operating performance. CDW 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 Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow as we believe these measures provide more information regarding our liquidity and capital resources. Certain non-GAAP financial measures are also used to determine certain components of performance-based compensation.
CDW’s outlook is provided on a non-GAAP basis 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 CDW’s routine activities, 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 US GAAP financial measures.
