The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in a reduction in consolidated sales of $54.1 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a stronger U.S. dollar. The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in increased consolidated sales of $21.3 million for the first six months of 2010, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a weaker U.S. dollar.

Excluding the above-mentioned items, the increase in net income attributable to shareholders for the second quarter and first six months of 2010 was primarily the result of the sales increases in both the global components business segment and the global ECS business segment, increased gross profit margins, reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales due to the company's continuing efforts to streamline and simplify processes, and a lower effective income tax rate. These increases were offset, in part, by increased net interest and other financing expense for the second quarter of 2010 compared with the year-earlier period.

In May 2006, the company entered into a cross-currency swap, with a maturity date of July 2011, for approximately $100.0 million or €78.3 million (the "2006 cross-currency swap").

These cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges and hedge a portion of the company's net investment in euro-denominated net assets, by effectively converting the interest expense on $300.0 million of long-term debt from U.S. dollars to euros. During the second quarter of 2010, the company paid $2.3 million, plus accrued interest, to terminate these cross-currency swaps.
