SYNNEX Corporation Reports
Second Quarter 2004 Results
FREMONT, CA — June
24, 2004 -- SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE: SNX), a global
IT supply chain services company, today announced financial
results for the second quarter of fiscal 2004, ended May 31,
2004.
For the second quarter, revenues increased by 35% to
$1.27 billion compared to $945.1 million for the quarter
ended May 31, 2003. Second quarter net income increased 45%
to $10.2
million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with net income
of $7.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in the prior
year second quarter.
On December 1, 2003, SYNNEX completed
its Initial
Public Offering (IPO) that resulted in net proceeds of
$48.8 million to the Company. As a result, fiscal 2004 amounts
in this press release reflect the effects of the IPO whereas
fiscal
2003 amounts do not.
“An overall improved distribution
economic environment in the U.S. along with continued sales
and operational execution, associated market share gains and
growth in our assembly business, allowed us to post another
solid year over year increase in revenues and profits,” said
Robert Huang, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While
our results were strong in the second quarter, they were mostly
driven by our US business, whereas our non-US distribution
businesses lagged during the quarter due to seasonality and
operational issues. We expect improvement in the coming quarters
for our non-US distribution entities and will be driving toward
this goal.”

revenues were $1.12 billion, an increase of 24% over
the prior year quarter. Assembly revenues were $150.1 million,
