6 WESCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. ORGANIZATION WESCO International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "WESCO"), headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a full-line distributor of electrical supplies and equipment and is a provider of integrated supply procurement services. WESCO is engaged principally in one line of business - the sale of electrical products and maintenance, repair and operating supplies. WESCO currently operates approximately 360 branches and five distribution centers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam, the United Kingdom and Singapore. 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WESCO and all of its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in WESCO's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2001, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, in the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. All adjustments reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are of a normal recurring nature. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement, as amended by SFAS No. 138, was adopted by WESCO on January 1, 2001. This statement requires the recognition of the fair value of any derivative financial instrument on the balance sheet. Changes in fair value of the derivative and, in certain instances, changes in the fair value of an underlying hedged asset or liability, are recognized through either income or as a component of other comprehensive income. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of WESCO. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, a modification of SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers after March 31, 2001 and is effective for disclosures about securitizations and collateral and for recognition and reclassification of collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The disclosure provisions of this statement have been adopted. The adoption of this statement for future transfers is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of WESCO. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets." Under SFAS No. 141, all business combinations will be accounted for under the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be reduced only if it was found to be impaired. Goodwill would be tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. A fair-value based impairment test would be used to measure goodwill for impairment. As goodwill is measured as a residual amount in an acquisition, it is not possible to directly measure the fair value of goodwill. Under this statement, the net assets of a reporting unit are subtracted from the fair value of that reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value. The provisions of this statement are effective for all business combinations completed after July 1, 2001 and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 for existing goodwill. Management believes the adoption of this standard, will have a 6

7 material non-cash impact on the financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, goodwill amortization was $5.8 million. 3. ACQUISITIONS In March 2001, WESCO completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Herning Underground Supply, Inc. and Alliance Utility Products, Inc. (collectively "Herning") headquartered in Hayward, California. Herning, a distributor of gas, lighting and communication utility products, reported net sales of approximately $112 million in 2000. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting (See Note 7). 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following tables set forth the details of basic and diluted earnings per share: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts 2001 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 7,513 $ 12,831 Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic earnings per share 44,872,816 45,451,376 Common shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive stock options 2,153,061 2,537,751 ---------------------------------- Weighted average common shares outstanding and common share equivalents used in computing diluted earnings per share 47,025,877 47,989,127 ================================== Earnings per share Basic $0.17 $0.28 Diluted $0.16 $0.27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts 2001 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 11,005 $ 21,986 Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic earnings per share 44,839,917 45,848,936 Common shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive stock options 2,201,155 2,518,123 --------------------------------- Weighted average common shares outstanding and common share equivalents used in computing diluted earnings per share 47,041,072 48,367,059 ================================= Earnings per share: Basic $0.25 $0.48 Diluted $0.23 $0.45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION In June 1999, WESCO and certain of its subsidiaries terminated its previous accounts receivable securitization program and entered into a new $350 million accounts receivable securitization program ("Receivables Facility"), which was subsequently increased to $375 million. Under the Receivables Facility, WESCO sells, on a continuous basis, to WESCO Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned, special purpose company ("SPC"), an undivided interest in all eligible accounts receivable. The SPC sells without recourse to a third-party conduit all the receivables while maintaining a subordinated interest, in the form of overcollateralization, in a portion of the receivables. WESCO has 7

8 agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institution at market rates; accordingly, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded. As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, securitized accounts receivable totaled approximately $452 million and $479 million, respectively, of which the subordinated retained interest was approximately $75 million and $101 million, respectively. Accordingly, approximately $377 million and $378 million of accounts receivable balances were removed from the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Net proceeds from the transactions totaled $40.0 million in 2000. Costs associated with the Receivables Facility totaled $10.7 million and $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These amounts are recorded as other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and are primarily related to the discount and loss on the sale of accounts receivable, partially offset by related servicing revenue. The key economic assumptions used to measure the retained interest at the date of the securitization or securitizations completed in 2001 were a discount rate of 5% and an estimated life of 1.5 months. At June 30, 2001, an immediate adverse change in the discount rate or estimated life of 10% and 20% would result in a reduction in the fair value of the retained interest of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this example, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another. 6.

14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and WESCO International Inc.'s Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. GENERAL WESCO is a full-line distributor of electrical supplies and equipment and is a provider of integrated supply procurement services. WESCO currently operates approximately 360 branch locations and five distribution centers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam, the United Kingdom and Singapore. WESCO serves over 130,000 customers worldwide, offering over 1,000,000 products from over 23,000 suppliers. WESCO's diverse customer base includes a wide variety of industrial companies; contractors for industrial, commercial and residential projects; utility companies, and commercial, institutional and governmental customers. Approximately 90% of WESCO's net sales are generated from operations in the U.S., 8% from Canada and the remainder from other countries. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Recent developments affecting the results of operations and financial position of WESCO include the following: In March 2001, WESCO completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Herning Underground Supply, Inc. and Alliance Utility Products, Inc. (collectively "Herning") headquartered in Hayward, California. Herning, a distributor of gas, lighting and communication utility products, reported net sales of approximately $112 million in 2000. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Second Quarter of 2001 versus Second Quarter of 2000 The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items in WESCO's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 2001 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales 100.0% 100.0% Gross profit 17.5 17.5 Selling, general and administrative expenses 13.7 13.1 Depreciation and amortization 0.8 0.6 -------------------------- Income from operations 3.0 3.8 Interest expense 1.2 1.0 Other expense 0.5 0.6 -------------------------- Income before income taxes 1.3 2.2 Provision for income taxes 0.5 0.9 -------------------------- Net income 0.8% 1.3% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14

15 Net Sales. Net sales in the second quarter of 2001 decreased $46.8 million, or 4.7%, to $944.1 million compared with $990.9 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to sales decline in the Company's core business partially offset by an increase in sales of acquired companies. Core business sales decreased 8% from the prior year quarter. The mix of direct shipment sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 were 43.7% and 45.5%, respectively. Gross Profit. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2001 decreased $9.1 million to $164.8 million from $173.9 million in the second quarter of 2000. The decrease in gross profit compared to prior year is primarily attributable to the decrease in sales versus prior year. Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales was 17.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 0.5%, to $129.2 million. Excluding SG&A expenses associated with companies acquired during the last three quarters of 2000 and all of 2001, SG&A expenses decreased 4.0%. The decrease was principally due to a $4.0 million reduction in certain discretionary benefits, partially offset by increased bad debt expense in the current period. As a percent of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 13.7% compared with 13.1% in the prior year quarter reflecting lower sales volume in the current period. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.6 million to $7.6 million reflecting higher amortization of goodwill from acquisitions and increases in property, buildings and equipment over the prior year. Income From Operations. Income from operations decreased $10.1 million or 26.4% from the prior year quarter due to the previously mentioned lower sales volume. Interest and Other Expense. Interest expense totaled $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $0.2 million over the same period in 2000. Other expense totaled $4.6 million and $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively, reflecting costs associated with the accounts receivable securitization. The decrease was due to decreased fees associated with the securitized accounts receivable. Income Taxes. Income tax expense totaled $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2001 and the effective tax rate was 39.8%. In the second quarter of 2000, income tax expense totaled $8.5 million and the effective tax rate was 39.9%. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses. Net Income. Net income and diluted earnings per share totaled $7.5 million and $0.16, respectively, for the second quarter of 2001, compared with net income of $12.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2000. 15

16 Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items in WESCO's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales 100.0% 100.0% Gross profit 17.7 17.7 Selling, general and administrative expenses 14.2 13.5 Depreciation and amortization 0.8 0.6 ------------------------- Income from operations 2.7 3.6 Interest expense 1.2 1.1 Other expense 0.5 0.6 ------------------------- Income before income taxes 1.0 1.9 Provision for income taxes 0.4 0.8 ------------------------- Net income 0.6% 1.1% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales. Net sales for the first six months of 2001 decreased $43.8 million, or 2.3%, to $1,872.2 million compared with $1,916.0 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a sales decline in the Company's core business of 5.3% that was offset somewhat by increased sales of acquired companies as compared to prior year period. The mix of direct shipment sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 were 43.9% and 44.9%, respectively. Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first six months of 2001 decreased $6.9 million or 2.0% to $332.0 million from $338.9 million in 2000. Gross profit margin percentage was 17.7% for both the current and prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the aforementioned sales deterioration in the Company's core business. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $8.1 million, or 3.1%, to $266.0 million. Excluding SG&A expenses associated with companies acquired during 2000 and 2001, SG&A expenses were essentially unchanged. Core business SG&A expenses decreased slightly due to reduction in certain discretionary benefits partially offset by increased bad debt expense. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 14.2% compared with 13.5% in the prior year period reflecting a lower relative sales level. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $3.5 million to $15.0 million reflecting higher amortization of goodwill from acquisitions and increases in property, buildings and equipment over the prior year. Interest and Other Expense. Interest expense totaled $21.9 million for the first six months of 2001, an increase of $0.3 million from the same period in 2000. Other expense totaled $10.7 million and $11.2 million for the first six months of 2001 and 2000, respectively, reflecting costs associated with the accounts receivable securitization. The $0.5 million decrease was principally due to the decreased fees associated with the securitized accounts receivable. Income Taxes. Income tax expense totaled $7.3 million and $14.6 million in the first six months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The effective tax rates for 2001 and 2000 were 40.0% and 39.9%, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses. Net Income. Net income and diluted earnings per share totaled $11.0 million and $0.23, respectively, for the first six months of 2001, compared with $22.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2000. 16

17 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Total assets were $1,173.6 million and $1,170.0 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. In addition, stockholders' equity was $136.3 million at June 30, 2001 compared to $125.0 million at December 31, 2000. Debt was $439.7 million at June 30, 2001 as compared to $483.3 million at December 31, 2000, a decrease of $43.6 million. An analysis of cash flows for the first six months of 2001 and 2000 follows: Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $92.2 million in the first six months of 2001, compared to $26.7 million in the prior year. In connection with WESCO's asset securitization program, cash provided by operations in 2000 included proceeds of $15.0 million from the sale of accounts receivable. Excluding this transaction, cash provided by operating activities was $92.2 million in 2001 compared to cash provided of $11.7 million in 2000. On this basis, the $80.5 million increase in operating cash flow, compared to 2000, was primarily generated by changes in components of working capital, offset by decreased income adjusted for non-cash charges. Investing Activities. Net cash used for investing activities was $59.5 million in the first six months of 2001, compared to $21.5 million in 2000. Cash used for investing activities was higher in 2001 primarily due to a $38.0 million increase in cash paid for acquisitions. WESCO's capital expenditures for the six months of 2001 were for computer equipment and software and branch and distribution center facility improvements. Financing Activities. Cash used for financing activities totaled $48.9 million for the first six months of 2001 primarily reflecting increased repayments of debt. In the first six months of 2000, cash provided by financing activities totaled $3.2 million, principally related to increased borrowings offset by stock repurchases under the Company's common stock purchase program. WESCO's liquidity needs arise from seasonal working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service obligations and acquisitions. In addition, certain of the Company's acquisition agreements contain earn-out provisions typically based on future earnings targets. The most significant of these agreements relates to the Bruckner acquisition which provides for an earn-out potential of $100 million during the next four years if certain earnings targets are achieved. Certain other acquisitions also contain contingent consideration provisions, one of which could be significant, as it is based on, among other things, a multiple of increases in operating income. Amounts available under the company's revolving credit agreement as of June 30, 2001 were approximately $237 million. In mid-August 2001, we expect to enter into another amendment to our revolving credit facility. We anticipate that the borrowing margins applicable to advances under the facility, which currently range from 100 to 200 basis points, will be amended to range from 150 to 250 basis points, depending upon our leverage ratio. The amendment will provide for an initial reduction in the maximum amount available from $379 million to $285 million and also for subsequent decreases to $185 million at maturity in 2004. The amendment is also expected to modify certain financial and other covenants, which will ease restrictions on the amounts that may be borrowed. These covenants include applicable leverage ratios, interest coverage ratios, and working capital ratios. The amendment will restrict our ability to make acquisitions and prohibit WESCO from repurchasing shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program. In addition to cash generated from operations and amounts available under the credit facilities, WESCO utilizes a receivables facility to provide liquidity. At June 30, 2001 WESCO's securitized accounts receivable balance totaled $375 million, unchanged from December 31, 2000. WESCO's board of directors authorized a $50 million share repurchase program. As of July 15, 2001, WESCO has purchased $32.8 million of common stock pursuant to this program, since its inception. WESCO did not repurchase any shares under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2001, and will discontinue its share repurchase program. Management believes that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under the credit agreement and the receivables facility, will be sufficient to meet WESCO's working capital, capital expenditures and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance, however, that this will be the case. Financing of acquisitions can be funded under the existing credit agreement and may, depending on the number and size of acquisitions, require the issuance of additional debt and equity securities. INFLATION The rate of inflation, as measured by changes in the consumer price index, did not have a material effect on the sales or operating results of the Company during the periods presented. However, inflation in the future could affect the Company's operating costs. Price changes from suppliers have historically been consistent with inflation and have not had a material impact on the Company's results of operations. SEASONALITY WESCO's operating results are affected by certain seasonal factors. Sales are typically at their lowest during the first quarter due to a reduced level of activity during the early part of the year due to the cold and unpredictable weather. Sales increase during the warmer months beginning in March and continuing through November due to 17

18 favorable conditions for construction and the tendency of companies to schedule maintenance and capital improvement spending during the middle and latter part of the year. Sales drop again slightly in December as the weather cools and also as a result of reduced level of activity during the holiday season. As a result, WESCO reports sales and earnings in the first and fourth quarters that are generally lower than that of the remaining quarters. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement, as amended by SFAS No. 138, was adopted by WESCO on January 1, 2001. This statement requires the recognition of the fair value of any derivative financial instrument on the balance sheet. Changes in fair value of the derivative and, in certain instances, changes in the fair value of an underlying hedged asset or liability, are recognized through either income or as a component of other comprehensive income. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of WESCO. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, a modification of SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers after March 31, 2001 and is effective for disclosures about securitizations and collateral and for recognition and reclassification of collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The disclosure provisions of this statement have been adopted. The adoption of this statement for future transfers is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of WESCO. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets." Under SFAS No. 141, all business combinations will be accounted for under the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be reduced only if it was found to be impaired. Goodwill would be tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. A fair-value based impairment test would be used to measure goodwill for impairment. As goodwill is measured as a residual amount in an acquisition, it is not possible to directly measure the fair value of goodwill. Under this statement, the net assets of a reporting unit are subtracted from the fair value of that reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value. The provisions of this statement are effective for all business combinations completed after July 1, 2001 and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 for existing goodwill. Management believes the adoption of this standard, will have a material non-cash impact on the financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, goodwill amortization was $5.8 million. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS From time to time in this report and in other written reports and oral statements, references are made to expectations regarding the future performance of WESCO. When used in this context, the words "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "intends," "expects," "projects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Such statements including, but not limited to, WESCO's statements regarding its business strategy, growth strategy, productivity and profitability enhancement, new product and service introductions and liquidity and capital resources are based on management's beliefs, as well as on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management, and involve various risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond WESCO's control. WESCO's actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of WESCO. In light of these risks and uncertainties there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information will in fact prove to be accurate. Factors that might cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, an increase in competition, the amount of outstanding indebtedness, the availability of appropriate acquisition opportunities, availability of key products, functionality of information systems, international operating environments and other risks that are described in WESCO's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 which are incorporated by reference herein. WESCO has undertaken no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 18

19 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS There have not been any material changes to WESCO's exposures to market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2001 that would require an update to the disclosures provided in WESCO's Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2000. 19
