SYNNEX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019
(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
SYNNEX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as “SYNNEX” or the “Company”) is a business process services company headquartered in Fremont, California and has operations in North and South America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Africa.
The Company has two reportable segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. The Technology Solutions segment provides a comprehensive range of distribution, logistics and integration solutions for the information technology (“IT”) industry. The Concentrix segment offers a portfolio of technology-infused strategic solutions and end-to-end global business outsourcing services focused on customer experience, process optimization, technology innovation, front and back-office automation and business transformation to clients in five primary industry verticals.
On January 9, 2020, the Company announced a plan to separate its Concentrix segment into an independent publicly-traded company. The transaction, which was delayed due to the focus on managing the economic impact of a pandemic caused by an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“ COVID-19”), barring further economic disruption, is now expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2020. The plan is subject to current economic and capital market trends. The separation is intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes for both the Company and its then current stockholders. Immediately following the separation, it is expected that the Company’s stockholders will own shares of both SYNNEX and Concentrix, at the same percentage ownership that they held of SYNNEX prior to the transaction. Completion of the separation will not require a stockholder vote but will be subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, obtaining final approval from the Company’s Board of Directors, receipt of a favorable opinion with respect to the tax-free nature of the transaction for federal income tax purposes, and the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of August 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The amounts as of November 30, 2019 have been derived from the Company’s annual audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019.
Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year, and the Company makes no representations related thereto. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the discussion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019. As described more fully in Note 16 , as of August 31, 2020, due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, these estimates may change in future periods. Accounting pronouncements adopted during the nine months ended August 31, 2020 are discussed below.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables from vendors and derivative instruments.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing, and their compositions and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Through August 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced any credit losses on such deposits and derivative instruments.
Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers, including related party customers. Receivables from vendors, net, includes amounts due from original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) vendors primarily in the technology industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of its receivable portfolio, the existence of a limited amount of credit insurance and specifically identified customer and vendor risks. Through August 31, 2020, such losses have been within management’s expectations.
One customer accounted for 16 % and 17 % of the Company’s total revenue during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020. The same customer accounted for 21 % and 19 % of the Company’s total revenue during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2019. Products

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019
(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
purchased from the Company’s largest OEM supplier, HP Inc., accounted for approximately 12 % of total revenue during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019.
As of August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019, one customer comprised 18 % and 19 %, respectively, of the consolidated accounts receivable balance.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is computed based on the weighted-average method. Inventories are comprised of finished goods and work-in-process. Finished goods include products purchased for resale, system components purchased for both resale and for use in the Company’s projects and integration-based completed systems. Work-in-process inventories are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Leases
The Company enters into leases as a lessee for property and equipment in the ordinary course of business. When procuring goods or services, or upon entering into a contract with its customers and clients, the Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at its inception. As part of that evaluation, the Company considers whether there is an implicitly or explicitly identified asset in the arrangement and whether the Company, as the lessee, or the customer, if the Company is the lessor, has the right to control the use of that asset. Effective December 1, 2019, when the Company is the lessee, all leases with a term of more than 12 months are recognized as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and associated lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date and determined using the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate at which the Company would borrow on a secured basis in the country where the lease was executed. The interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in transactions where the Company is the lessee. The ROU asset equals the lease liability adjusted for any initial direct costs, prepaid rent and lease incentives. The Company’s variable lease payments generally relate to payments tied to various indexes, non-lease components and payments above a contractual minimum fixed amount.
Operating leases are included in other assets, net, other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, borrowings, current and long-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Substantially all of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases. The lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company made a policy election to not recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expenses are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operating lease payments are presented within “Cash flows from operating activities” in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
For all asset classes, the Company has elected the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance services) and account for the combined unit as a single lease component. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance that permits the Company to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard which revises various aspects of accounting for leases, with amendments in 2018 and 2019 codified as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases. The Company adopted the guidance effective December 1, 2019 , applying the optional transition method, which allows an entity to apply the new standard at the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients not to reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs and the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company made a policy election to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes. The most significant impact of adoption to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of its leases other than short-term leases. The liability was equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, and subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee depends primarily on its classification. For income statement purposes, operating leases will result in a straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. Upon adoption, the Company recorded $ 591,129 of ROU assets and of $ 642,567 of liabilities relating to its operating leases on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or its consolidated statements of cash flows.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance fo r a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on financial reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022 . The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendment requires the Company to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used in cash balance pension plans. It also requires the Company to disclose the reasons for significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets including significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

Foreign currency translation adjustment and other, net of taxes, is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustment and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Substantially, all of the balance at both November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2020 represents foreign currency translation adjustment.
NOTE 5—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, equity risk, commodity price changes and credit risk. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity’s functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, swaps, or other derivative instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, earnings, net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s hedging program is not used for trading or speculative purposes.
All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, or as a component of AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as discussed below.
Cash Flow Hedges
To protect gross margins from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries with functional currencies that are not in U.S. dollars may hedge a portion of forecasted revenue or costs not denominated in the subsidiaries’ functional currencies. These instruments mature at various dates through August 2022 . The Company also uses interest rate derivative contracts to economically convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The swaps have maturities at various dates through October 2023 . Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency revenue are recognized as a component of Revenue from Services in the same period as the related revenue is recognized, and deferred gains and losses related to cash flow hedges of costs are recognized as a component of “Cost of revenue” for “services” and/or “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the same period as the related costs are recognized. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of interest payments are recognized in “Interest expense and Finance charges, net” in the same period as the related expense is recognized. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified into earnings in the period of de-designation. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are recorded in earnings unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.

The Company uses short-term forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entities. These contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, mature or settle within twelve months . Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates.

Volume of Activity
The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including, principally, the Philippine Peso, Indian Rupee, the Euro, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, the Chinese Yuan, the Japanese Yen and the Brazilian Real that will be bought or sold at maturity. The term and notional amount of interest rate swaps are determined based on management’s assessment of future interest rates and other factors such as debt maturities. The notional amounts for outstanding derivative instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding and do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to credit or market loss. The Company’s exposure to credit loss and market risk will vary over time as currency and interest rates change.

The gains and losses largely offset the currency gains and losses that resulted from changes in the assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies.
There were no material gain or loss amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Existing net losses in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the normal course of business within the next twelve months are $ 9,002 .
Offsetting of Derivatives
The Company’s derivative instruments are generally governed by standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements, which generally do not require the Company to post any collateral, and specify netting rights, and other customary provisions including events of defaults and termination rights. In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements. If derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement had been netted in the

Consolidated Balance Sheet , the total derivative asset and liability positions would have been reduced by $ 12,458 each as o f August 31, 2020 and $ 6,003 each as of November 30, 2019 .
Credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the Company’s obligations to the counterparties. The Company manages the potential risk of credit losses through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing and selection of counterparties from a limited group of financial institutions
NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
The Company’s fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments and financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. The carrying values of cash equivalents approximate fair value since they are near their maturity. Investments in marketable equity securities, primarily comprising investments in other companies’ equity securities as per local customary business practice, are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Investment in foreign government bond classified as available-for-sale debt security is recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers. Fair values of long-term foreign currency exchange contracts are measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for terms specific to the contracts. Fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using standard valuation models using inputs that are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, including LIBOR spot and forward rates. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019.
The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates which are variable in nature. The carrying value of the Company’s term loans approximate their fair value since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2020, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.

NOTE 7—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS:
The Company has an uncommitted supply-chain financing program with a global financial institution under which trade accounts receivable of certain customers and their affiliates may be acquired, without recourse, by the financial institution.

SYNNEX United States accounts receivable securitization arrangement
In the United States, the Company has an accounts receivable securitization program to provide additional capital for its operations (the “U.S. AR Arrangement”). Prior to the amendment in May 2020 that is described in this paragraph, u nder the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, the Company’s subsidiary that is the borrower under this facility could borrow up to a maximum of $ 850,000 based upon eligible trade accounts receivable. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. AR Arrangement is a blended rate based upon the composition of the lenders, that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and a rate based upon LIBOR. In addition, prior to the May 2020 amendment, a program fee of 0.75 % per annum based on the used portion of the commitment, and a facility fee of 0.35% per annum, was payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders. In May 2020 , the U.S. AR Arrangement was amended to revise the maximum borrowing amount to $ 650,000 and to extend the maturity date of the U.S. AR Arrangement to May 2022 . The program fee payable on the used portion of the lenders’ commitment, was modified to accrue at 1.25 % per annum in the case of lender groups who fund their advances based on prevailing commercial paper rates, and 1.30 % per annum in the case of lender groups who fund their advances based on LIBOR (subject to a 0.50 % per annum floor). The amendment also modified the facility fee payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders, to accrue at different tiers ranging between 0.35 % per annum and 0.45 % per annum depending on the amount of outstanding advances from time to time. In addition, the U.S. AR Arrangement includes an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders' commitment by an additional $ 150,000 .
Under the terms of the U.S. Arrangement, the Company and two of its U.S. subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables acquired by the Company's bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as security. Any amounts received under the U.S. AR Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
SYNNEX Canada accounts receivable securitization arrangement
SYNNEX Canada Limited (“SYNNEX Canada”), the Company's Technology Solutions subsidiary in Canada, has an accounts receivable securitization program with a bank to provide additional capital for its operations. In March 2020, SYNNEX Canada renewed this agreement to mature in May 2023 . Under the terms of this program, SYNNEX Canada can borrow up to CAD 100,000 , or $ 76,628 , in exchange for the transfer of eligible trade accounts receivable, on an ongoing revolving basis. The program includes an accordion feature that allows SYNNEX Canada to request an increase in the bank's commitment up to an additional CAD 50,000 , or $ 38,314 . Any amounts received under this arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are secured by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables to the bank. The effective borrowing cost is based on the weighted-average of the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a margin of 1.00 % per annum and the prevailing lender commercial paper rates. In addition, prior to an event of termination, SYNNEX Canada is obligated to pay a program fee of 0.75 % per annum based on the used portion of the commitment. After an event of termination, the program fee shall be the sum of the base rate and 2.50 % per annum, based on the used portion of the commitment. SYNNEX Canada pays a fee of 0.40 % per annum for any unused portion of the commitment up to CAD 60,000 , or $ 45,977 , and when the unused portion exceeds CAD 60,000 , or $ 45,977 , a fee of 0.55 % per annum of the unused portion of the commitment. As of both August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019, there was no outstanding balance under this arrangement.
The Company has guaranteed the performance obligations of SYNNEX Canada under this facility.
SYNNEX Japan credit facility

The term loan can be repaid at any time prior to the expiration date without penalty. The Company has guaranteed the obligations of SYNNEX Japan under this facility.

NOTE 15— COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company was contingently liable as of August 31, 2020 under agreements to repurchase repossessed inventory acquired by flooring companies as a result of default on floor plan financing arrangements by the Company's customers. These arrangements are described in Note 7 and do not have expiration dates. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company, still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Losses, if any, would be the difference between the repossession cost and the resale value of the inventory. There have been no repurchases through August 31, 2020 under these agreements and the Company is not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these claims and records the related liabilities. It is possible that the ultimate liabilities could differ from the amounts recorded.
The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 16— RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC:
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and work force participation and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. These disruptions, which were most acute during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, have impacted the Company’s business including Concentrix’ ability to support customer demand due to decreased workforce productivity and limiting the Technology Solutions segment’s ability to support end market demand due to supply chain disruptions. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of these interim financial statements required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic, the Company’s estimates may materially change in future periods.
